JERRY SIMPSON AT CHICAGO.

Free Silver.

He Gives the Eminent Editor Blast
Free Silver.
CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Congressman Simp-
son spoke to an immense audience at
Sharpshooters' park yesterday. During
his speech he said: They say to us, you
fellows talk in favor of class legislation.
why don't you legislate for the brain
workers. i say there are so few of the
brain workers that they can readily move
about if it does suit them in one place.
A minister of the gospel can readily turn
to be street car conductor should he be
a failure as a preacher II he fails as
conductor he may be fit to be president of
a college. Or he may become politician.
and subsequently United States senator.
Then, il there should be total unfitness
for any of these avocations, he may settle
in some town and become editor of a great
paper"
Metallic Currency a Barbarous Idea.
"How about free silver" came an inter
ruption from the crowd.
"The gentleman says we want free sill
ver," continued Mr.. Simpson. THAT is too
big a subject to be disposed of in half an
hour. II we had free silver to-day the
circulating medium would not be in
creased more than IS cents per capita, but
/ do say that so long as we have a free
coinage Of gold we ought to have free
coinage of silver. If you can not raise
yourself above the barbarous idea that
you must have a metallic currency, then
for Gods sake let's have enough of it,

Let's reason together.

Here's a firm, one of the
largest the country over, the
world over; it has grown, step
by step, through the years to
greatness-and it sells patent
medicines !-ughl

benefit or cure they don't want
your money. Their guarantee
is not indefinite and relative,
but Gef71lte and a6sokate-if

Suppose every sick man
and every feeble woman tried
these medicines and found
them worthless, who would be
the loser, you or they?

111 oHosrN urrnRANons.

The Vinita World of last week
makes use of the very silly as
sertion that the cattle men have
made THE CHIEFTAtN what it is.
A glance at our subscription list
would convince any reasonable
mind that very small portion Of
the papers business came from
that class of citizens We do busi-
ness with at least fifty farmers and
Business men to one COW man.
Our business relations with the
cattle men have, on the whole,
been very pleasant and now the
only trouble is, few of that class
are trying to force the others to
repudiate the paper solely on ac-
count of personal differences. The
people who advertise with us do
so because we reach more people
than any other paper in the coun-
try; not on account OF any portic-
ular line of politics which the
paper may advocate. 1t is purely
matter of business. But such as
'ertioas 1re only in keeping with
the small calibre and narrow guage
principles of that sheet. This is
like its boast just after the election
of what the "sons of Jefferson"
and "Old Democracy had done,
and later its denuncia.ion Of Har.
rison and Noble. Such illusions
axe certainly very much out OF
place in the columns of a news
paper which hoists itself as the
mouth piece of a political party in
the Cherokee nation. Its manage
ment does not seem to understand
that "merit wins and that it has
a right to its legitimate share Of
business secured in a fair and
legitimate way, but thinks it must
rise upon the downfall of others.
SO far as United States politics is
concerned, this country is decid.
edly Democratic, but if such car
rying-on as the World has been
upholding with so much gusto be
Democracy, then tits enough to
make Thomas jefferson turn over
in his grave.
