HON. CHAMP CLARK's SPEECH.
Our Congressman Is One OF the Lead.
ers In the HOHse.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
WASHINGTON, d. c., August 20.
Hon. Champ Clark, OF the
Ninth Missouri District, made a
great speech in the House last night.
1t was $50 o'clock when he took
the floor and 1890 when he left it
thirty minutes after the time set
for adjournment. During that time
he held his crowd to the seats ex-
cept when they arose and applauded
with vigor. Time and again the
speaker had to call the house to Or
der, and at the end of the speech it
seemed for a time that the speakers
effort would prove futile. The first
man to grasp Clark's hand when he
finished was the young statesman
from Nebraska, William J. Bryan,
already called great.
The Missourian's speech ranks
with the two other great speeches Of
the debate-those of Bryan, of Ne
braska, and Pierce, oil Colorado,
Missouri has been heard from and
in a way that makes Clark a leader
in the House.

Expression Of Sentiment.

Representative citizens of Gala
way, Montgomery and Audrain
counties met south of MartinsbUrg
Tuesday to give expression to their
views on the coinage question. 1t
seemed to be almost the universal
sentiment that the attempt to pass a
silver bill on a ratio of 90 to l meant
the destruction of the silver coinage
and a surrender to the enemy of the
West and South before the battle is
made, and that defeat now is better
than to surrender the Is to 1 ratio,
knowing that the people of the West
and South will not submit longer
than another election to the con-
spirators and enemies of the common
people. Hon. John M. Barker made
a "16 to 1" silver coinage speech on
invitation. Everyone seemed to re-
ioice that we have the noble Bland
and Bryan for the people who are
now so distressed.

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE
About Malaria " hat Old Cases or
Ague Should Know.

You have had fever and ague;
or, perhaps, have had dumb ague,
N which there are no distinct chills.
At any rate, you have malaria in
your system, which makes you
miserable during the latter summer
months and fall. You have doc
tered much. Quinine you have
taken till your ears ring, arsenic
till your nerves culver, and strychnia
till your jaws are stiff. Still the
malaria hangs about. You don't
feel good a little bit. Miserablel
that's the only word that describes
1t. Chilly feelings, hot flashes,
cold feet and legs, coated tongue,
bad taste, offensive breath, poor
digestion and appetite-all these
and more. Tonics fail, nervines
are useless, and liver medicines
a waste of time and money.
But Pe-ru-na will cure you
cure you completely-make you
1eel as good as new. Pe-ru-na con-
talns no quinine to iniure the
Drain, no arsenic to destroy the
stomach, no strychnia to impair
the nerves. 1t is a natural, whole
some, never-failing nerve tonic,
blood purifier and invigorator of the
whole system.

Of silver. While Mr.. Clark is a new

SILVER n EErIA6.
The People OF Moiino Solid for ie to I.

The silver meeting at Moline,
Audrain county, on August 10th,
1898, was largely attended. By IL
O'Clock a large crowd had gathered
and partook of a feast to be remem-
bered, given out by the fair hands
of lovely women, with that generous
hospitality found in it's best estate
among the noble and ever true
agriculturists. By ore O'Clock a
thousand people had gathered, the
young to measure the strains of
sweet music in the dance and the
elder to listen to the discussion
upon which the intensity of feeling
cannot be we'll described, until it is
stated that Mr.. Creed, an old
paralytic gentleman, who had not
left his house for years, had his son
put him in a wagon and haul him
upon a bed to the meeting. When
he arrived the horses were taken
away and willing hands drew his
wagon up to the speakers stand.
At the beginning Of the meeting
the following resolution was propos-
ed by W. w. Wilson, to.wit:
"Be it resolved by this mass
meeting of the people of Moline,
Mo-, that we request the directors
OF each school district in Audrain
county to post notices requesting
the voters to meet at their respect
i've school houses on Saturday, the
End of September, 1898, at 2 p. M,
for the purpose of signing petition
to our representatives in Congress
to advocate and vote for a bill for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at a ratio of 16 to l
and send the same to Mexico on
the 4th day of September, 1898,
and the messengers bearing the
petition to meet together at the
court house at one O'Clock, and
appoint tellers to cast up the votes
and send the result to our represen-
~tatives at Washington (and give,
also, all who desire to vote against
the proposition a chance to send in
an adverse petition) and We request
the papers in Audrain county to
pu blish this resolution"
1t was stated that a vote would
be taken at the close of the discus
sion. Mr.. Lee Barnes then stated
that it was not a party meeting but
a meeting of American citizens
brought together to consider the
great financial calamities now upon
the people and to give voice to
their sentiment as to a remedy.
The assemblage was then address,
ed by Mr.. Cullen, Mr.. Hirth and
Mr.. Barker for about two hours,
and the most careful attention was
paid to the speeches.
A vote was then taken on the
resolution and it passed without a
dissenting voice and a ratio Of 16 to
l appeared to be the universal senti-
ment, except that Col. Sinclair did
not seem to be satisfied with the
prevalent sentiment, and when
asked to give his views he did so
to a few younger men gathered
around him. When asked to ex-
plain himself he said but very little
of our present condition and needs,
but told of the great political fight
for and against the National bank
when Jackson and Calhoun and
others seemed the arbiters of our
destiny. He told it as though it
were the story of to Cay and al
though sixty years have flown away,
he has never forgiven the hero OF
New Orleans for his Part in that
crisis.
