JERRY SIMPSON has spent several years in
Kansas, but in all the speeches he has made
in the east and south since he was elected to
congress, he has never uttered one word of
praise for Kansas Wichita Eagle.
That's a diabolical falsehood and
you know it. It is only intended to
mislesd those whose political preju-
dice prevents them from reading more
than one paper. The burden of Jerry
Simpsons speeches outside the state
has been argument to show how det-
rimental the pernicious republican
Legislation of the last twenty years
has been to the agricultural states,
and in order to prove his position COR
rect he cites his own state, of which
he can speak from experience, and
which has suffered along with the
others When speaking of the sgri-
cultural resources Of states he names
Kansas as the greatest of all, and he
is compelled by logic to name Kan
sss as one of the states which suffers
most from the ravsges of the money
power. Are you prepared to prove
that he is not right in that?

ers reap no profit from the produc-
tion Of gold9
In the American Cyclopedis, in the
article under the head of "Silver,"
we find this statement:
Tie occurrence of gold and silver in vari-
able natural alloy is so general that they
may almost be said to constitute but one
mineral species, ranging from silver with a
slight trace of gold to gold with a slight
trace of silver.
Professor Walker, in his work on
" Money" page 264, says:
In a degree the production of silver in
wolves the production of gold, and vice
versa.
And in the foot note to this state
ment we find the following:
Pliny called attention to the fact that, in
his day, gold and silver were invariably
found together, though in varying proper
tions. SIN every species of gold" he said,
OhOAo 10 o PAOPOAUAOA Va 5AAFoES III SOIlo
one-tenth, in others one-ninth, in others
one eighth.
Many persons speak of the wonderful sill
yer mines of Nevada who are not aware that
very large proportion of the value of the
metal extracted is gold. The product of the
COmstock lode ID stated to be about 45 per
cent. gold, and So per cent. silver"
From the foregoing facts it will be
seen that the argument of the gold
bugs referred to by our correspond
spt Is not logical, it is not based upon
facts, nor is it consistent with reason.
These plutocratic advocates of mono
metalism oVer-step the mark in this
gauzy pretense. While they propose
to deny the country the increase of
currency that would result from the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
because such free coinage would re-
suit in the realization of a profit to
the silver miners upon their 55 per
cent. Of silver, they do not object to
the profit that accrues to the same
men upon the As per cent. of gold
taken from the same mines. Yet this
is said to be a campaign of argument.

We see it stated that there is con-
sternation in the ranks of the Peo-

republican side-show of the 7th inst,

Of this CONSERVATION outside of re-
publiCnn papers. They are fun of

REPUBLICAN, s0PH1STRY IN RELA-
TION TO SILVER
We have received from q CORE
spOndent the following letter concern
ing the question Of free coinage:

ing the question OF free coinage:
SHoREY, KAs October 3, 1892.
Editor Advocate, Topeka, Kds.:
DEAR SIR:-As new face has been manufac-
tured for, and put upon our free coinage plank by
our republican friends, and privately carried by
private messengers to our weaker brethren OF
reform as a gigantic monopoly, and explained TO
them thus: That free coinage demands that the
government shall cOin or issHA OF coined dollars,
to the miner S120 for every $50 worth Of silver
bullion produced by said miner, thus allowing
the miner premium Of 40 cents on every stand
ard dollars worth of bullion he may have; thus
virtually transferring Wall street silver bullion
BROKERAGE 20 che western miner. / do not write
you this letter for publication, but to inform you
Of the false construction being put upon that
plank OF our platform and peddled out to those
Of our voters who are not well posted.
We have discussed this question
quite fully in a former issue, but as it
is an important one, it will bear repe-
tition.
Oar platform demands plainly and
unqualifedly "the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver and gold at the
legal ratio of 16 to l." This we de-
mand, not as a matter Of speculation
to silver miners or any other class OF
people, but as matter Of right and
Justice to every industrial interest.
We shall present the subject at this
time under several distinct PROPOSE
tionR.
First-The demonstration oi silver
was accomplished by fraud, and de-
signed in the interest of the money
changers.
This proposition is SO we'll estsb-
lished that very little space need be
taken in discussing it. That British
money was sent to this country as q
corruption fund, and that members
of congress were bribed to work and
vote for demonstration is fact sus-
tanned by such proof that neither the
republican press or stump speakers
have ever made any serious attempt
to dispute it. Members OF both houses
who voted for the bill of 1873 amend
ing our mint laws have claimed, and
still claim that they did not know,
when they voted for it,thst it demone-
tized silver. II this be true, it shows
them to be utterly incompetent for
Legislators. If congressman are to
vote for the enactment OF laws with
out any knowledge Of the provisions
Of those laws, what safety have the
American people against the most
fragrant abuses, and the absolute sac
rifce of their rights What safety
have they, in fact, against the absO-
lutte subversion of our whole system
Of government? But we might accept
this pretense of ignorance as an ex-
cuse with some degree OF credulity
were it not for the persistence Of
those same men and their party as
sociates in their determination not to
undo the wrong which they claim was
done through their Incompetence
The simple fact Of the bitter opposi-
ton to the restoration of silver is suf-
ficient evidence in itself that the
original demonstration was not a
blunder but a crime.

Republican Clubs, Mckinley, Depew,
Warships and State Troops.

TACOMA, June 6.-Tacoma is planning
for a monster Fourth of July cele-
bration. Already the meeting of the
Republican clubs in the state has been
arranged for. Originally Governor McKin-
ley of Ohio and Chauncey NJ. Depew were
solicited for speeches at this meeting.
For time it was considered certain that
the former would be present. and now it is
deemed more than probable that Mr.. De-
pew will also be in attendance. Still this
is to be but one feature of the celebration,
according to the enlarged plan. Several
DAYS ago the Chamber of Commerce and
the Commercial Club requested Secretary
Tracy to have the warships that were to be
in the Sound and vicinity report at Ia
coma July 4. Private kilograms were also
sent urging this feature of the celebration.
The move was made quietly. as it was IN
derstood Seattle desired the presence of
the cruisers July 4.
Today the latest feature was sprung in
the form of a petition to Governor Ferry,
requesting the attendance of the state
troops. Lieutenant Colonel Shanks was
advised of this movement this morning,
and Robert Triple this afternoon circu-
lated the petition to the governor.

Growth of Canadian Churches.


The increase of population in the Do
minion during the ten years ending with
1891, was, according to the returns
of religious denominations, ATS, 700.
In the three maritime prov
inces together, the Catholics in
creased 1857, while the numerical
strength of the several Protestant denomi-
nations fell off by 1851. In Nova Scotia
the Protestants increased 1850 and the
Catholics 4,965. In New Brunswick
the Catholics increased $50, while
the number of Protestants declined
by $3.50. In Prince Edward island there
was an increase of 722 among Catholics
and a decrease of $50 among the Protes-
taut denominations. OF the increase of
129,5O4 in the Quebec province, 121 ,257
were added to the Catholic popula-
ton, the, Anglicans gained 6,lIs,
the Presbyterians 2,3i4, and the
Methodists 577. The other denomina-
tons taken together show a decline of
$50. In Ontario the Methodists
gained 62,439, the Catholics 81, 46l.
Presbyterians 35,397, Church of Eng
land 1S.47I, Lutherans 7,12S, Others
30.037. The changes in New Bruns-
wick and Prince Edward Island are due
to the weil-known fact that while the pop
ulation of the English-speaking and
Protestant sections of the provinces has
declined, owing to the exodus to the
United States, there have been slight in
creases in the sections populated bv
