... than 80 per cent, of the commerce of the world is settled in gold or on a gold basis. DISCRIMINATION AND FRAUD. Such free coinage legislation, if ever consummated, would discriminate against every producer of wheat, cotton, corn or re who should in justice be equally entitled, with the silver owner, to sell his products to the United States treasury, at a profit fixed by the government and against all producers of iron, steel, zinc or copper, who might properly claim to have their metals made into current coin. It would, as well, be a fraud upon all persons forced to accept a currency thus stimulated and at the-same time degraded. In every aspect the proposed policy is partial and one-sided, because it is only when a profit can be made by a mine owner or dealer, that he takes his silver to the mint for coinage. The government is always at the losing end. Stamp such iictitlus value upon silver ore, and a dishonest and unjust discrimination will be made against every other form of industry. When silver bullion, worth a little more than 50 cents, is made into a legal-tender dollar, driving out one having a purchasing and debt-paying power of 10O cents. It will clearly be done at the expense and injury of every class of the community. Those who contend for the free and unlimited coinage of silver may believe in all-honesty that while the present ratio of silver to gold is at thirty to one (not sixteen to one), silver will rise above the existing market value. If it does so rise the effect will be to make the loss to all the people so much less, but such an opinion is but a hazardous conjecture at best, and is not justified by experience. Within the last twenty years this government has bought about 400.003,000 of ounces of silver from which it has coined approximately 4:;o,000,000 of silver dollars and Issued 1.50.000,000 of dollars in silver certificates, and the price of the metal has steadily declined from $1.13 per ounce to 68 cents per ounce. What will be the decline when the supply is auerumented by the offerings of all the world? The loss upon these silver purchases to the people of this country has now been nearly $150,Uitn ooo. The dollar of our fathers, about which so much is said, was an honest dollar, silver maintaining a full parity of intrinsic value with gold. The fathers would have spurned and ridiculed a proposition to make a silver dollar worth only 53 cents, stand of equal value with a gold one worth a hundred cents. The experience of all nations proves that any depreciation, however slight, of another standard, from the parity with gold, has driven the more valuable one out of circulation, and such experience in a matter of this kind is worth much more than mere interested speculative opinion. The fact that few gold coins are seen in ordinary circulation for domestic uses is no proof at all that the metal is not performing a most important function in business affairs. The foundation of the house is not always in sight, but the house would not stand an hour if there were no foundation. The great enginery that moves the ocean steamship is not always in view of the passenger, but it is, all the same, the propelling force of the vessel, without which It would soon become a worthless derelict. It may be instructive to consider a moment how the free and unlimited coinage of silver would affect a few great Interests, and I mention only enough to demonstrate what a calamity may lie before us if the platform formulated at Chicago is permitted to be carried out. EFFECT ON SAVINGS. There are now on deposit in the savings banks of thirty-three States and Territories of this Union the vast sum of $2,000,000,000. These are the savings of almost five million depositors. In many cases they represent the labor and economies of years. Any depreciation in the value of the dollar would defraud every man, woman and child to whom these savings belong. Every dollar of their earnings when deposited was worth 100 cents in gold of the present standard of weight and fineness. Are they not entitled to receive in full, with interest, all they have so deposited? Any legislation that would reduce it by the value of a single dime would be an intolerable wrong to each depositor. Every bank dr banker who has accepted the earnings of these millions of dollars to the credit of our citizens must be required to pay them back In money not one whit less valuable than that which these banks and bankers received in trust. There are, in this country, nearly six thousand building and loan associations, with shareholders to the number of 1,800,000: and with assets amounting to more than $500,000,000. Their average of holdings ' Is nearly $300 per capita, and in many cases they represent the savings of men and women who have denied themselves the comforts of life in the hope of being able to accumulate enough to buy or build homes of their own. They have aided in the erection of over a million of houses, which are now affording comfort and shelter for five millions of our thrifty people. Free coinage at the arbitrary rate of sixteen ounces of silver to one of gold would be equivalent to the confiscation of nearly half the savings that these people have Invested. It would be tantamount to a war upon American home-makers. It would be an invasion of "the homes of the provident," and tend directly to "destroy the stimulus to endeavor and the compensation of honest toil." Every one of the shareholders of these associations is entitled to be repaid in money of the same value which he deposited by weekly payments or otherwise in these companies. No one of them should be made homeless because a political party demands a change In the money standard of our country, as an experiment, or as a concession to selflshntss or greed. The magnitude of the disaster which would overtake these and cognate interests becomes the more strikingly apparent when considered in the aggregate. Stated broadly, the savings banks, life insurance and assessment companies, and building loan a'ssociations of the country hold in trust $15,309,717,381. The debasement of the,curreney to a silver basis, as proposed by the Chicago platform, would wipe out at one blow, approximately $7,r63.504.S5S of this aggregate. According to the report of the Department cf Agriculture the total value of the main cereal crops in this country In 1894 was $9:)5.433.307. So that the total sum belonging to the people and held in trust in these institutions, which would be oKiiceratcd by the triumph of free and unlimiced coinage would be seven and one-half times the total value of the annual cereal crop of the United States. The total value of the manufactured products of the countrv for the census year of 1S90 was $9,372,537,283. The establishment of a silver basis of value, as now proposed, would entail a loss to thee three interests alone equal to 85 per cent, of this enormous output of all the manufacturing industries of the Union, and would affect directly nearly one-third of its whole population. WOULD ROB PENSIONERS. One hundred and forty millions -of dollars per annum are due to pensioners of the late war. That sum represents blood spilled and suffering, endured In order to preserve this Nation from disintegration. In many cases the sums so paid in pensions are exceedingly small; in few, if any, are they excessive. The spirit that would deplete these to the extent of a farthtng Is the same that would organize sedition, destroy the peace and security of the country, punish, rather than reward our veteran soldiers, and is unworthy of the countenance, by thought or vote, of any patriotic citizen of whatever political faith. No party, until that which met in convention at Chicago, has ever ventured to Insult the honored survivors of our struggle for the national life bv proposing to scale their pensions horizontally, and to pay them hereafter in depreciated dollars worth only fifty-three cents each. The amounts due, in addition to the interests already named, to depositors and trust companies in national. State and private banks, to holders of fire and accident Insurance policies, to holders cf industrial insurance, where the money deposited or the premiums hive been paid in gold or its equivalent, are so enormcus, together with the sums due and to become due, for State, municipal, county or other corporate elects' that if paid in depreciated silver or its equivalent it would not only entail upon our fellow-countrymen a loss in money which has not been equaled in a similar experience since the world began, but it would at the same time bring a disgrace to our country such as has never befallen atiy other nation which had the ability to pay Its honest debts. In our condition, anil considering our magnificent capacity for laising rt. venue, such wholesale rtpudiation is without necessity or excure. No political expediency or party exigency, however pressing, could Justify so monstrous an act. All these deposits and debts murf, under the platform of the Republican party, be iret and adjusted in the best currency th wprld knows and measured by the same standard in which the debts have been contracted or the deposits cr payments have been made. Still dealing sparingly with figures, of which there Is an enormous mass to sustain the position of the advocates of the gold standard of value, I cite one more fact, which Is officially established, premised by the truism that there is no better test of the growth of a country's prosperity than its increase in the per capita holdings of its population. In the decade between 18S0 and UD0. during which we had cur existing gold standard and were undet the conditions that supervened from tjie act of lb3. the per capita ownings of this

country increased from $S70 to $1,035. In those ten years the aggregate Increase of the wealth of our country was $21,K'5.0C0 00t, being 50 ptr cent, in excess of the increase fr any previous ten years since 1S.VI. and at the amazing rate of over $2,000,000,000 a year. The framers of the Chicago platform, in the face of this fact and of the enormous Incitase ever Great Britain during this sarc.o gold-standard d.2ade of our country's foreign trade and its production of iron, coal and other great symbols of national strength and progress assert that our monetary standard is "not only un-American, but anti-American," and that It has brought U3 "into financial servitude to Loudon." It is impossible to imagine an assertion more reckless and indefensible. MEANS REPUDIATION. The proposition for free and unlimited silver coinage carried to its logical conclusion, and but one is possible, means, as before Intimated, legislative warrant for tie repudiation cf all existing indebtedness, public and private, to the extent of nearly 50 per cent, of the face of all such indebtedness. It demands an unlimited volume of fiat currency, irredeemable, and therefore without any standard value In the markets of the world. Every consideration of pubiic interest and public honor demands that this proposition should b-3 rejected by the American people. This country cannot afford to give Its sanction to wholesale spoliation, it must hold fast to its integrity. It must still encourage thrift in all proper ways. It must not onlyeducate its children to honor and respect the flag, but it should inculcate fidelity to the obligations of personal and national honor as well. Both these great principles should hereafter be taught in the common schools of the land and the lesson impressed upon those who are the voters of to-day and those who are to become the inheritors of sovereign power in this Republic, that it is neither wise, patriotic nor safe to make political platforms the mediums of assault upon property, the peace of society and upon civilization itself. Until these lessons have been learned by our children and by those who have reached the voting age, it can only be surmised what enllgntened statesmen and political economists will record as to the action of a party convention which offerj an inducement to national dishonesty by a premium of 47 cents for every 53 cents' worth of silver that can be extracted "from cordial invitation to all to produce it at our mints and accept for it a full silver legaltender dollar of 100 cents rated value, to be coined free of charge and unlimited in quantity for private account. But vastly more than a mere assertion of a purpose to reconstruct the national currency Is suggested by the Chicago plctfonn. It assumes, in fact, the form of a revolutionary propaganda. It embodies a menace of national disintegration and destruction. This spirit manifested itself in a deliberate proposition to repudiate the plighted public taith, to Impair the sanctity of the obligation of private contracts, to cripple the credit of the Nation by stripping the government of the power to borrow money, as the urgent exigencies of the treasury may require, and, in a word, to overthrow all the foundations of financial and industrial stability. Nor is this all. Not content with a proposition to thus debauch the currency and to unsettle all conditions of trade and commerce, the party responsible for this platform denies the competency of the government to protect the lives and property of its citizens against internal disorder and violence. It assails the judicial muniments reared by the Constitution for the defense of individual rights and the public welfare, and it even threatens to destroy the integrity and independence of the Supreme Court, which has been considered the last refuge of the citizen against every form of outrage and injustice. In the face of the serious peril which these propositions embody, it would seem that there could be but one sentiment among right thinking citizens as to the duty of the hour. All men, of whatever party, who believe in law, and have some regard for the sacredness of individual and institutional rights, must unite in defense of the endangered interests of the Nation. THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION. While the financial issue which has been thus considered, and which has come as the result of the agitation of recent years to occupy a peculiar conspicuousness, Is admittedly of primary importance, there is another question which must command careful and perlous attention. Our financial and business condition is at this moment one of almost unprecedented depression. Our great industrial system is seriously paralyzed. Production in many important branches of manufacture has altogether ceased. Capital Is without remunerative employment. Labor is Idle. The revenues of the government are Insufficient to meet its ordinary and necessary expenses. These conditions are not the result of accident. They are the outcome of a mistaken economic policy deliberately enacted and applied. It would not be difficult., and would not involve any violent disturbance of our existing commercial system, to enact necessary tariff modifications along the lines of experience. For the first two fiscal years of the so-called Mckinley tariff, the receipts from customs were $380 -S07.9SO. At this writing the Wilson tariff act has been In force for nearly two full fiscal years, but the total receipts, actual and estimated, capnot exceed $312,441 947. A steady deficit, constantly depleting the resources of the government and trenching even upon its gold reserve, has brought about public distrust and business disaster. It has, too, necessitated the sale of $2R2,000,000 of bonds, thereby Increasing to that extent the national debt. It will be remembered that in no year of the more than a quarter of a century of continuous Republican administration succeeding the civil war, when our industries were disintegrated and all the conditions of business were mr-re or less disturbed, was the national dt'jt increased by a single dollar; It wus, on the contrary, steadily and rapidly diminished. In such a condition of affairs as this it is idle to argue against the necessity of some sort of a change in our fiscal U-ws. The Democratic party declares for a remedy by direct taxation upon a selected class of citizens. It opposes any application of the protective principle. Our party holds that by a wise adiustment of the tariff, conceived in moderation and with a view to stability, we may secure all needed revenue, and it declares that in the event of its restoration to power it will seek to accomplish that result. It holds, too. that it is the duty of the government to protect and encourage in all practicable ways the development of domestic industries, the elevation of home labor, and the enlargement of the prosperity of the people. It does not favor any form of legislaion which would lodge in the government the power to do what the people ought to do for themselves, but it believes that it is both wise and patriotic to discriminate in favor of our own material resources, and the utilization, under the best attainable conditions, of oui own capital and our own available skill and industry. REPUBLICAN TARIFF PLANK. The words of the Republican national platform on the subject r.re at once temperate and emphatic. It says of the policy of protection: "In its reasonable application it is just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional discrimination and individual favoritism." "We demand such an equitable tariff on foreign imports which come Into competition with American products as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect American labor from degradation to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. .The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by the conditions of the time and of production; the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and industry. The country demands a right settlement, and then It wants rest." Tho Republican party. In its first successful national contest, under Abraham Lincoln declared In favor "of that policy of national exchanges which secures to the worklngman living wages, to agricultuie remunerative prices, to mechanics and manufacturers an adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the Nation commercial prosperity and independence." The principle thus enunciated has never been abandoned. In the crisis now upon vis, it must be tenaciously adhered to. While we must insist that our monetary standard shall be maintained in harmony with that of the civilized world, that our currency shall be sound and honest; we must also remember that unless we make it possible for capital to find employment and for labor to earn ample and remunerative wages, it will be impossible to attain that degree of prosperity Which, with a sound monetary policy buttressed by a scund tariff policy, will be assured. In IS', when by universal consent we touched the high-water mark of our national prosperity, we were under the same financial system that we have to-day. Gold was then the sole standard, and silver and paper were freely used as the common currency. We had a tariff framed by Republican hands under the direction of the great statesman who now logically leads the contest for a restoration of the policy whose reversal brought paralysis to so many of our industries and distress upon so large a body of our people. We were under the policy of reciprocity, formulated by another illustrious statesman of the genuine American type. We may. If we choose to do so. return to the pros

perous conditions which existed before the present administration came into power. WILL NOT ACCEPT BRYANISM. My sincere conviction is that my countrymen will prove wise enough to understand the issues that confront them, and patriotic enough to apply safe and sure remedies for the evils that oppress us. They will not, I am sure, accept again at their face value, the promises of a party which, under desperate and perverted leadership has so recently dishonored its solemn pledges, which has repudiated the principles and policies which have given It a historic past, and the success of which, as now constituted, would endanger at home private security and the public safety, and disastrously affect abroad both our credit and good name. And foremost among those who will decline to follow where the new Democracy leads will be thousands of men. Democrats aforetime and Democrats to-day. who count country more than party, and are unwilling even by Indirection to contribute to results so disastrous to our most sacred interests. The platform of the Republican national convention states the party position concerning other questions than those herein referred to. These, while at the present time of subordinate importance, should not be overlooked. The Republican party has a'.ways been the defender of the rights of American citizenship, as against all aggressions whatever, whether at home or abroad. It has, to the extent of its power, defended thoso rights, and hedged them about with law. Regarding the ballot as the expression and embodiment of the sovereignty of the individual citizen, it has sought to safe-guard it against assault, and to preserve its purity and integrity. In our foreign relations It has labored to secure to every man entitled to the shelter of our flag the fullest exercise of his rights consistent with international obligation. If it should be restored to rulership it would infuse needed vigor into our relations with powers which have manifested contempt and disregard, not only of American citizenship, but of humanity itself. The Republican party has always stood for the protection of the American home. It has aimed to secure it in the enjoyment of all the blessings of remunerated industry, of moral culture and of favorable physical environment. It was the party which instituted the policy of free homesteads, and which holds now that this policy should be re-established, and that the public lands yet vacant and subject to entry in any part of our national territory, should be preserved against corporate aggression as homes for the people. It realizes that the safety of the state lies in the multiplication of households, and the strengthening of that sentiment of which the virtuous home is the best and the truest embodiment; and it will aim to dignify and enlarge by all proper legislation this element of security. If elected to the position for which I have been nominated it will be my earnest and constant endeavor, under Divine guidance, in the sphere of duty assigneel to me, to serve the people loyally along the line of the principles and policies of the party which has honored me with its preference. I am, gentlemen of the committee, Very -trulv vours, GARRET A. HOBART.

HENRY B. PAYNE DEAD AX EX-SEXATOR AXD OXE OF THE RICHEST MEX IX THE WEST. Served One Term nn Democratic Colleague of Johu Sherman How He Made His Money. CLEVELAND. Sept. 9. Ex-United States Senator Henry B. Payne died this morning at 9 o'clock at his home. No. 595 Euclid avenue. His death was due to paralvsis, with which he was stricken a few Gays ago. His son, Col. Oliver H. Payne, of New York, and his daughter. Mrs. Charles W. Bingham, the only surviving members of his family, were at his bedside when he passed away. The ex-Senator was eightysix years of age. and had until recently took an active part in the management of his extensive business affairs. No time has as jet been announced for holding the funeral service. The death of Mrs. Payne and a .daughter, the wife of ex-Secretary Wm. C. Whitney, occurred only a few years ago. Henry B. Payne was born in Madison county, New York. Nov. 30, 1S10. He was educated at Hamilton College; studied law with John C. Spencer in Canandalgua; was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Cleveland in 1S34. After twelve years he was compelled to retire, since which time he has been largely interested in manufacturing, railroad and many other enterprises. He was a member of the State Senate in Ohio in 1S49-50; was the Democratic candidate for the United States senatorship in the protracted contest of 1851, and for Governor against Salmon P. Chase in 1857; was chosen a presidential elector in 1S48; was . a delegate to the national Democratic convention at Cincinnati in 1856, and to that at Charleston in 1800 (and reported from the minority of the committee the resolutions which were adopted as the platform.) He was also chairman of the Ohio delegation in the Baltimore convention of 1S72. Mr. Payne was elected to the Forty-fourth Congress, and was chairman of the House committee on the electoral bill, and was a member of the electoral commission in 1S7G. He was elected to the United States Senate as a Democrat, to succeed George H. Pendleton. Democrat, and took his seat March 4. 1S85. His term of service expired March 3, 1S91. Mr. Payne was said to be worth from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. He married Miss Perry, only daughter of a pioneer merchant of CleveJand. Miss Perry inherited her father's landed possessions, a fine farm almost in the heart of the present city, then lying between the State and lake shore wagon roads the 'former now known as Euclid avenue and the latter as St. Clair street. Mr. and Mrs. Payne had five children. Nathan, who Is dead, was a successful coal operator, and Col. Oliver Payne Is the millionaire member ot the Standard Oil Company. One of the daughters Is the wife of Mr. Bingham, a prominent Cleveland merchant, and the other was the wife of Wm. C. Whitney, late corporation counsel of New York city. She is dead. Another son. "Harry, a graduate of Yale College, died In Europe. Mr. Payne did much to build up the city of Cleveland. In 1S49 it was proposed to build the Cleveland fe Columbus railroad. Much opposition and difficulty were encountered, but Payne and other prominent men pushed the enterprise through, completing one of the most important railroad connections between southern Ohio and the great lakes. Prom 1850 to. 1854 Mr. Payne was president of this road, resigning his position that he might devote himself en' tirely to the advancement of new enterprises. In 1S55 he was one of the principal directors of the Cleveland. Painesville & Ashtabula road, now known as the Lake Shore railway. His wealth was invested in railroad and other stocks, real estate and government securities. He owned extensive tracts of land on Euclid avenue and Superior street, and stock in the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company, Lake Shore road. Second National Bank, and in almost all the important local business enterprises. He also owned controlling interests in Lake Superior copper and iron mines. It was charged by his opponents that Mr. Payne used his vast wealth to purchase a seat in the United States Senate. His interest in the Standard Oil Company (through his son) secured him the influence of that great corporation. Rev. Canning' Xewman. TORONTO, Ont.. Sept. 9. Rev.

MORE BOLD UNTRUTHS

COXXERSVILLE IIAILROAD MEX SAY THE SEXTIXEL HAS LIED. Affidavit from Rockport Showing; that William Stevenson Did Declare Himself for McKinley. Special to the Inlianapolls Journal. CONNERSVILLE. Ind., Sept. 9. A Connersville special to the Sentinel, printed in its Sunday issue, has incensed a number of railroad men here. The article is one of the characteristic lies printed from over the State by that sheet, and its falsity was promptly shown. Tha following is the special: . "A call for the formation of a McKinley club, to be composed of the emirtoyes of the C, H. & D. railroad in this city, was issued yesterday by those in authority. The employes were informeel that they must sign the McKnley club paper, no matter what their political affiliations might be. They were turther notified that a refusal to do so would result in their discharge as employes of the road. The freight agent, bridge superintendent, road master and section boss are all Democrats and signify their desire to vote for Bryan and the restoration of the people's money, but are coerced into signing a McKinley paper, under penalty of losing their positions. William Connor, the section boss, when notified that he would be compelled to sign the McKinley paper, flatly refused to do so. replying that he would beg for a living before he would me made to act opposite to his political opinions. He stated that lie thought this was a free country and that a person had a right, under the Constituton, to exercise his political views as he pleased. He will probably lose his position. This action on the part of the railroad officials has caused bitter censure here, even from the better class of Republicans themselves. It is feared the worst is not over yet." The Mr. Connor referred to in the article, as well as the other railroaders, show the falsity of the article in the following communication, which they sent to the Sentinel, but which that paper, of course, will not print: "In your issue of Sept. 6 there appears a soecial dispatch dated at Connersville, Ind., in which it is alleged that the authorities of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton Railway Company had issued a call for the formation of a McKinley club among their employes, and that the aforesaid employes were notified that a refusal to join said club would result in their discharge as employes of said. road. In regard to us being informed by the orticals that we would be discharged, it is false. "We wish to state that said article is untrue in every partcular. No call has been issued for the purpose of organizing a McKinley club by the authorities of said road, and, of course, no threat of any kind has been made, to our knowledge, to discharge any one for failure to join such club. As you mention our positions in said dispatch, we ask you, as a matter of justice to all concerned, to publish this denial of said dispatch." This was signed by J. L. Graef, freight agent, C, H. & D. Railway Company; J. M. Rourke. supervisor, C, II. & D. Railway Company; E. Wysong. bridge superintendent. C, H. & D. Railway Company; William Connor, section foreman, C, H. & D. Railway Company. The following was added: "The employes of said roa-:. at Connersville. have voluntarily organized a nonpartisan sound-money club, and all who choose can join said club, but no threats of any kind have been used to coerce any of the employes of said road to join the club. We also attach a copy of our call, signed by various employes." This was signed by J. L. Graef, J. M. Rourke, E. Wysong. Stevenson Deelnreil for McKinley. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ROCKPORT, Ind., Sept. 9. The Indianapolis Sentinel, in its issue of Sept. 8, contained a special from Rockport. Ind., denying that Villiam Stevenson had declared for McKinley anel denouncing the report to that effect in the Journal of Sept. 6 as "a lie from beginning to end." The following affidavit speaks for itself: "On the 4th day of September, 1SW5. at the warehouse of Haines & Brown, in Rockport, Ind., William Stevenson stated in our presence that he was tired of these sideshows, speaking of the two factions of the Democratic party, and that he was for McKinley, and repeated the statement several times. He also stated that he could not vote for Buckner because he was a rebel, nor for Bryan because he was in favor of free silver. "WILLIS HAINES. "CHARLIE GENTRY. His "WILLIAM (X) LEE. Mark. "Subscribed and sworn to before me this 8th day of September. 1S96. "JOHN BAUMGAERTNER, Clerk Spencer Circuit Court." Mr. Willis Haines belongs to the firm of Haines & Brown, and is an upright, truthful citizen, while the other two signers are reputable citizens of this place. It Is generally believed that Mr. Stevenson made the declaration in good faith, but has been whipped into line by the party bosses. MEETIXG AT MUXCIE. Prohibitionist Spurpreon Talks in Behalf of RepnbHcanisin. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind.. Sept. 9 .-The 'arge court room was packed last night with one of the most important campaign meetings of the season. It was the regular meeting of the McKinley First Voters' Club, but a treat was premised all who attended in the form of a speech from Dr. W. A. Spurgeon, who has been a leader for the Delaware county Prohibitionist forces for several years, one of Munele's leading physicians and an elder in the First Christian Church. The doctcr began his speech by saying that he thought a legal voter who did not cast his ballot at an election was not only disloyal, but he was sorry for the man who found himself tied to any political party that would advocate principles not. only detrimental to himself, but to his government. The Chicago platform declares in favor of debased currency, which Mr. Bryan promises to make equal to that of gold; he promises that laws shall' be enacted that will permit people to secure a dollar with 51 cents' worth of silver bullion, but all of this silver bullion is controlled by twentytwo Individual men and a few corporations, and not a man in Indiana, Ohio. Michigan, Kentucky. Illinois and numerous other States can secure any of that bullion unless he pays one of these men 100 cents for it. The promise that one of these twentytwo men will loan you the money is very good, but how much will he want you to pay for it? In discussing this matter the speaker became very earnest, and when he referred to a platform in favor of a law that will bring forth a dishonest dollar that will be stamped in that manner in all countries, he said: "I am not in favor of such a platform; I am not in favor of forming an immense monopoly to take charge of all of the silver bullion and then make laws to permit them to rob the people. I am not in favor of a. platform, the doctrine of which, if enforced, would bring anarchy into our country and compel us to sacrifice lives and millions of dollars to again gain our freedom. I am not in favor of exposing our Industries to the world. I am in favor of reciprocity and when that is enforced the country will be prosperous. I do not think that any Democrat can run the government, as has been shown. They realize that we have been thrown from prosperity into an abyss of ruin; they have been looking for the ailment, and the Democrats have decided that with free and unlimited coinage of silver we will be prosperous. I tell you, gentlemen, should that olatform ever "bo enforced in the United States the country will be ruined. Thousands and millions of women, men and children will go hungry in the streets." The Hnrdy-MIeis Debate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHOALS, Ind., Sept. 9. Tha third joint discussion between Congressman Hardy and Judge Miers, Republican and Democratic candidates for Congress from this district, occurred to-day and for the third time Colonel Hardy had the better of his opponent. Mlers's address was, as usual, of Popocratlc order, an appeal to the prejudice of the pecple, an ertort to array and inflame one class against another, a war between the rich and the poor, not an argument was given throughout his whoie address to show how or to what extent the free and unlimited coinage of silver would benefit the farmer or laboring man. Judge Mier3 was followed for an hour by Colonel Hardy. Knock-out blows against free silver and in favor of a protective tariff came in quick succession, and the audience of two thousand was by a large majority in complete sympathy with the champion of honest government and national prosperity. Judge Miers Was asked how ho stood on the federal interference and Supreme Court planks of his party

and whether he was in favor of free wool, but no word came, in answer from the Popocratlc candidate'. Monnt and KetcUam nt Vincennes. Sreclal to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES, Ind., Sept. 9.

Special to the Indianapoli3 Journal. DECATUR, Ind., Sept. 9. The Democratic investigating committee, appointed by the Democratic County Commissioners to investigate the discrepancies alleged to exist somewhere among Democratic county officials, have made their report. The committee was only allowed to Investigate back four years, but during that period it was found that $2,793.93 of township funds alone have been pocketed by an embezzler: that road receipts have been altered after issued, issued for amounts in excess of taxes charged and made out In fictitious names that do not appear an the tax duplicate. Who the guilty party or parties are they did not investigate or report. But since the amount embezzled has been made public by the committee taxpayers are becoming highly indignant, especially farmers, and It is expected they will demand a thorough nonpartisan and expert examination of all county records. Some time ago fire was discovered in the auditor's office and before it was extinguished some of the records were destroyed. It is now charged that it was set on fire by some one interested in destroying records of Adams county to cover up frauds. The matter will come before the next grand jury for investigation. That there is corruption and fraud in the management of county affairs is beyond question and taxpayers will demand that the books be opened and all guilty of crime be punished. Failnre nt Wabash.
