In one of his wonderful sermons very truthfully said, “ My brother, your trouble is not with the heart; it is a gastric disorder or a rebellious liver. It is not sin that blots out your hope of heaven, but bile that not only yellows your eyeballs and furs your tongue and makes your head ache but swoops upon your soul in dejection and forebodings,"—and Talmage is^ight!

REDUCKI) FAC SIMILE OF Till. ENVELOPE IN WHICH THE FRANCIS-JAMES LETTER CAME. ducecl such a profound sensation. This letter was received by Mr. John James of Howard county, who consented to allow its publication in his home paper,

FAC SIMILE OF REVERSE OF ENVELOPE IN WHICH THE FRANCIS-JAMES LETTER CAME. the Kokomo Dispatch. Following is The Dispatch's article: From HU Home i'ltpor. The Dispatch prints below a highly significant letter from « naturalized American citizen now visiting in England, his former home, showing that funds to aid in the election of McKinley are now being collected from workingmen in the English mills upon the representation to the workingmen by their employers that the success of Bryan and the free silver cause in America will cause au increase in the price of Hour and the raw materials exported from the United States for use in English factories, would result in the opening of the American mills now closed, bringing American products into competition with the English manufactures in the foreign markets, and possibly resulting in the closing of English mills. Recognizing the importance of such a letter in the campaign, and being assured in advance that its genuineness would be questioned by the gold standard party, The Dispatcii has been at much pains to clearly and convincingly establish its genuineness and its thorough reliability. The writer is George \V. Francis of Pierre, S. D., a farmer, a Republican in polities, and a thoroughly reputable gentleman It is addressed to John James of New London, this county, a gentleman who is well known in this vicinity, particularly in northern Howard and southern Cass counties. The letter in full is as follows: Th«* Francis-James Letter. “Southport, Eng., Oct. 1, 180a. “Mr. James, “My Dear Friend John—You will be surprised to get a lett r from mo and to know that 1 am back in old England on a visit, i landed on Aug. 11 th at Liverpool. Wo had a pleasant voyage. How are you getting along in old Indiana? I have been trying to get your address for a long time, but have succeeded at last by fiudiug your sister in Southport. I have been down in Herefordshire most of the time, but have beer, in London and Manchester. There don't seem to be much change in the looks of the country, but quite a change in the people. I am getting homesick to get bock to Pierre, l attended a large farmers’ and laborers’ meeting at Preston a week ago. It was called for the purjjose of petitioning to parliament for a bill in favor of bimetallism, os agriculture ls in a deplorable CONDITION HERE AS WELL AS IN AMERICA. Brother Harry has been working for Martin & Co.| cotton manufacurers, Manchester, for two years. He has left and is going back to America, He told mesomi thing that surprised me —that the general snrperintoudent had SOLICITED A SUBSCRIPTION OF ALL THE MEN TO SEND TO AMERICA MONEY TO AID IN THE ELECTION OF McKlXLEY, AND TO FIGHT THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER. He told them that if free coinage were established in America they would have to pay DOCBLE PRICE FOR THEIR FLOUR; also that the priceof raw cotton would Rtsic ACcdRofSohY, and that the mills of America would start to run again and comb in competition with pNuland in FOREIGN mareets and perhaps throw them out of work. They raised £67. Brother Harry gave norhiug, as ho is coming with me. I came to England A RfPUBUCAN, BUT I WILL COME BACK A FREE COINAGE MAN. I did not Intend to go back until spring, but will go back at once and do what I can for THE FREE COINAGE OF SILVER. I have heard a gVeat deal about politics in America and have heard things that made my very hair stand on end with rage ip Lopdoa dud Liverpool. Now, Jfchn, speaking for our own interests,

M h»> Arc Francis and James? John Jkur.es, to whom the letter is addressed, owns a small fruit farm one and one-half miles northwest of New Londc u, in this county, which he purchased from the Harris heirs in 1893. Both he and the writer of the letter, Mr. Francis, were natives of Herefordshire, Eng. They came to America togetb v in 18S0, Mr. James paying a portion of Mr. Francis’ passage money, aud landed at Toronto. They came at once to Indiana, where Francis remained but a short time, going west aud settling near Pierre, 8. I). James at first worked for James Hiller, a short distance west of Galveston, and was subsequently employed by the late "Jack” Harness, who i then lived on the Howurd-Cass county line. With the exception of a short time 1 spent in the west he has lived in Howard ' aud Cass counties since he first came , here 14 years ago. By all his former i neighbors, and his present neighbors us ' well, ho is sjioken at us an entirely j 1 truthful aud thoroughly reliable man. ! l He formerly voted with the Republican 1 i party, but in 1893 supported Weaver for , president. He has at uo time been active in politics, but expresses a willingness to go among his friends and neighbors with the letter aud let them see that their interests are being fought witli British gold wrung from the earnings of the English workingmen. He had not heard from Francis in many years until now. His last letter before this one contained a remittance coverj ing the money advanced by Janies for I the passage from England and other money loaned, to secure which James was compelled to pawn Ids watch in Toronto. One moment's conversation with Mr. Janies will convince any uu-1, prejudiocnl person of his truthfulness and honesty. The letter with its envelope bearing the English postage stamps and Southport postmark, is now iu the possession of Allen W. Clark, of the Democratic state committee at Indianapolis, who is having it photographed and a photographic reproduction made for tin* press. Confirmatory ot th© .StuteinrutN of KxConnul Folsom and the L.oiuiou Finan-

cial News.

The Francis letter is the strongest possible evidence confirming the recent statements of Benjamin Folsom, former oaHsuI to Sheffield, on his return to the ljui%ed States. The source of the iuformillion may' be humbler, but it is even more direct and certainly not less reliable. Mr. Folsom said: "On every side I heard iu the provinces and in London, wherever I was, in hotels or clubs, that England would never consent to any such doctrine as bimetallism. The English monied men make no attempt at concealing their desire for McKinley’s election because it is for their own interest. * * * * England is agaiust Bryan, against bimetallism, and everything else which would tend to advance our interests. They have gold heady TO KILL SILVER IN TILLS COUNTRY IF NECESSARY.” It is iu confirmation of the conviction expressed by t lie London Financial News the leading English financial journal, in its cditornl columns on April 80, 1894, when it declared the result of independent free coinage m the United States would ruin British trade and give us the markets of the world. “Every American industry would be protected,” said the Financial News, “not ONLY AT HOME BUT IN EVERY OTHER

MARKET.”

It has been charged by the Republican press that this article from the Financial News is a forgery, hut irrefutable evidence of its genuineness has been produced and published, not only iu the photographic reproduction of the article furnished by the Durant Press Cuttings bureau of London, but in the photographic reproduction from the columns of the Chicago Tribune, an ardent supporter of McKinley, of a cablegram from Ballard Smith, London representative of the New York World, also a gold organ and McKinley supporter. . Of these a convicting case is made up. Let the people of this country make answer— Shall British money or American MEN RULE IN THE UNITED STATES?

PLEASE, MR, HANNA, Answer These Few and Really Proper and Pertinent Questions Which the People Are Asking,

As Mr. McKinley’s duly accredited manager and spokesman, the attention of Labor Crusher Hanna is called to these queries put to him by organized labor in particular and people in general: Are you rich? Did you inako any of your money reducing workingmen's wage*? If the free coinage of silver would, as you say, tend to reduce the wages of workingmen, why are YOU opposed to it? Who gives you all the money you are ■pending now? What do you promise in return for it? How do you make Mr. McKinley do what you tell him? Will he keep on doing it when lie Is president? Dow did you get hold of him first? Do you consider that those notes are a good investment?

Workingmen stand together in their unions elbow to elbow, and shoulder to shoulder, to repel their enemies every day in the year except upon election day, when they sometimes permit partisan prejudices to open their line of battle and the enemy passes triumphantly through. Syndicates and corporations stand together every flay, election day included, and upon that day more solidly than any other, no matter what their personal prejudices or party affiliations. Why will not workingmen emulate their example?

That British Manufacturers Arc Requesting Their Employes to Contribute Money to the McKinley Campaign Fund. Because the Election of Bryan Will Open American Mills and Raise the Price of American Farm Products, Injuring the Rritic.h Importers and Money Lenders. [Several days agi i letter from George W. Franeis, of Pierre, S. D., who is now \ biting his old h me in England, was received by his old friend John James, a fruit farmer of New London, near Kokomo, Ind., who permitted its publication in the Kokomo Dispatch. This letter was sueh a remarkable revelation oi the attitude of the English capitalists and manufacturers in the present effort of Hanna and McKinley to perpetuate upon the people of the United States ths British gold standard that its authentieity was immediately questioned by thu gold standard press. Throe pages of the letter are therefore produced in fac simile below, the second page being omitted in order to get the matter within two columns. The complete letter is published elsewhere in this issue.—Ed.]
