Pierce Archibald Speaks.

The republican candidate for represent ai-i-ve- after saying he favors “sound money as declared for by the republican platform, every dollar of which is equal in value to any other dollar,” thus disabuses the suspicious public mind of any impression which might be abroad that he might .have a kindly feeling for silyer, or might not support the republican machine candidate for United States senator.

□ I am unalterably opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver as proposed by the Democratic platform believing it to mean disaster,and to be in direct opposition to the best interests of our country at large and if elected a member of the Legislature will use my vote and influence to secure the nomination of an honest money republican for United States senator, and to vote for no one on joint ballot except the nominee of the republican caucus of the State Legislature for that office. Mr. Archibald has greatly obliged the public by this frank | statement of the condition of his financial conscience, though it-

would seem sufficient that a candidate wear the republican lable to establish his loyalty to the single gold standard policy. He avers that rumor is traducing him with bemga silver man. Is it not true, brother Archibald, that you were a little indiscreet in the days when your party played fast and loose with the heart strings of the fair silver maiden, and did you not then join the crowd that clustered at her feet, fairly turning her proud head with the petty compliments and expressions of love, and promises of undying devotion? Didn’t you do it, and are you not sufficient guilty to exhonerate Dame Rumor for remembering your more youthful follies and then indiscrietly peddling these entirely out of date stories on you? Of course it is well understood that Miss Silver’s titled sister the Countess English, the one that placed a crown of gold upon her own head and one of thorns upon her sister's has been holding court of late and that the glitter of her artificial beauty has quite captivated the former suitors for Miss Silver’s heart and hand. Deal gently with the past, brother, and if you have sinned but have regretted and reformed, why, just confess and ask forgiveness, not of the victim of your base betrayal, but of the gold bejeweled siren whose song beguiles you now.

From the Delphi Times. The leading republicans of this city some days ago arranged to secure a bunch of Mexican dollars to use in campaign argument and many of them have been put in circulation. It has been noted that these coins are milled very poorly and that they are slightly deficient in both size and weight. The coins were secured through the Citizens Bank and the bank bought them through their Chi-, cago correspondents. Everything went lovely until yesterday when the peace of the leaders was disturbed by the following special in the Cincinnati Enquirer: Springfield, Ohio, August 22.—Moores Huamay, an influential Mexican, connected with one of the largest commercial houses in Mexico, was in the city yesterday, and while here showed a prominent manufacturer a letter recieved by him® from the Director of Mint of the Republic of Mexico. The letter is translated by Mr. Huamay, and was to the following effect:

“I thank you for the two silver specimens of so-called Mexican silver dollars which you state are.being put in circulation in the United States. You are right in believing that the coins have been recently changed, if the specimens you send are genuine. Without hesitation’! pronounce them counterfeits and differing from the silver dollars coined by the Mexican Government in many particulars. The genuine coin has 160 mill marks upon the edge, while the specimens you submit have but 150. That may appear a tedious way of detecting the spurious«frotn the genuine dollar, but it is unfailing. The execution and position of the eagle upon th * face of the spurious also, differ from the genuine. Our Government is now engaged in determining where and by whom these counterfeits were issued."’

Mr. Huamay states that the machinery for the production of these spurious Mexican dollars was procured in England, and that the counterfeits reached America by vessel and landed in Florida. They were then purchased by the political managers who are using them for campaign purposes. He states that Mexico needs all the genuine silver she has for home circulation and that the people of that country are satisfied, and would not change their coinage to suit England or any other nation. The countertiting of the Mexican silver dollar is now the subject of international inquiry Mr. Huamay says.

SILVER DOLLAR IN MEXICO.

lOWA MAX, BY AFFIDAVIT, ATTACKS THE MEXICAN SILVER EXAMPLE. Special to the Chicago Record. Des Moines, lowa, Aug. 31.—J. H. Kennedy, a former resident of lowa, has attacked the statements so generally made regarding Mexico and silver by making the following affidavit before E. H. English, a notary public at Valley Junction: “I, James H. Kennedy, now a resident of the town of feinalvo in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico, do solemnly swear that I am an American by birth; that I served three years in the 7th lowa during the late civil war; that I have always been a republican; that I have resided in Mexico for twenty-five years: that I speak the Spanish language as well or better than I now do the English. I have traveled through twenty-four of the twenty-seven states in Mexico in an official capacity and as interpreter for numerous syndicates, I have had access to almost all the archives of that country. I am better acquainted with the customs and usages of that country than lam of my mother country. I left Mexico on the 2d day of March, 1896, coming to this country to visit my friends, relatives and old comrades. During the last month in lowa I have heard more absurd and utterly false statements made in regard to Mexico than I ever thought could be conjured up by mortal man, all to deceive the voter. “One most heard is that you can take one American silver dollar into Mexico and get two Mexican silver dollars for it, or that you can get a 50-cent meal and throw down an American dollar and they will give you back in change a Mexican dollar. I brand this as utterly false in every respect, a lie manufactured out of whole cloth. I assert that a Mexican will not accept an American dollar, either gold, silver or paper, for any amount, but will refer you to a broker, where you can sell your silver dollars as bullion for Mexican money, then they will trade with you. The largest hotel in the City of Mexico will not accept American money under any circumstances but will invariably refer you to a broker. ‘■By paying the mintage any one can take silver bulliou to either of the mints in Mexico and get Mexican silver dollars for it, and for 250 years silver bullion has never fluctuated up or down to exceed 2 cents. “I hear it asserted that the national debt is payable in gold. I brand this as utterly false. Every dollar of the debt, $146,030,009, is and always has been payable in the lawful money of that country, and we are now paying our debt in Mexican silver dollars, the money of the contract. “I assert that Mexico in the present decade is making strides of advancement greater than any other nation on earth. Twenty-five years ago we had eighty miles of railroad, now we have nearly 8,000 miles of railroad. We are building factories on every hand. Twenty-eight years ago, w’hen the French army was driven out, the Mexican goverment was left penniless, not a dollar in the treasury. We can now pay our entire national debt any day a demand would be made for it. “I am now on my way to Mexico to spend the rest of my life. Any one can find me by addressing a letter to James H. Kennedy, Sinaloa, Mexico. “In conclusion I invite an honest and thorough investigation into the facts of my statement and I defy sucessful contradiction. lam not the owner of mining stocks and no personal interest has caused me to make this statement, but have given it by request of an old

comrade.
