In letter written to the Hon. An,
thony higgins by George G. LobdellI
concerning the present financial and
business depression of tho county,
the writer furnished the Senator a
few texts on which to deliver his
speech In the Senate on the question.
Mr.. Lobdell says tho increasing de-
preston may be due In part TO the
purchase OF silver by the government,
and to the change in the relative value
of gold aud silver This has caused a
a lack of confidence on the part OF
capitalists, manufacturers and busi-
ness mon, in tho ability and Integrity
of the party in power, but primarily
from the fear that tho protective
features OF the tariff will be destroyed,
az the party now In power, and the
President are pledged to do,
He says: "The difference arises not
so much from the demonstration Of
silver by other nations as from the in
creased production-more silver being
produced than the world can use for
the purposes for which it has hereto
fore been employed. | think that the
repeal OF the Sherman law. and the
rafusal OF Congress to increase the
quantity of silver coined to any great
extent, will afford some relief, but

A Youthful Auditor Tells n Story bigger
Than Uncle Bill Does.
1t was great fun for the boys in the vii
lage where Uncle Bill lived to get him start
ed telling some of his big stories Appar-
emily there were no bounds to his imagina-
ton and to the number Of his tales, Most
of them were connected in some way with
the Hudson, as he had spent nearly his
whole life on the river.
Seated on stringpiece of the wharf one
afternoon with number of youngsters
around him he began by telling his audi
ence what a wonderful river the Hudson
was.
Boys" he said II tell yer that 'ere is a
mighty fine river Yer kin go most any
where yer mind to on her. Yessir, yer kin
90 to ther north pole an ter the south pole. !"
The boys winked to one another, but did
not venture to make any remarks.
"How about Captain Broat's sloop, Uncle

When will these times eud? tens OF
thousands of people throughout this
country are asking to-day, and al
though Democratic journals keep
telling them there Is a rift In the
clouds, they cannot see IL, and which
ever way they look the clouds are still
dark and daily growing darker and
darker. Each day records the closing
OF more Industries and greater addi-
tions to the vast army of unemployed,
These are facts, and tho very papers
that in their editorials try to make
men believe that t!mes are getting
botter, have their news columns filled
with accounts Of moro furnaces draw
ing their fires, and additional factories
laying off men. The Democratic
party have made a vain attempt Ia
saddle all this upon tie Republicans
by attributing the present state of ul.
fairs to the silver question, and Con
gress has now spent three weeks o
valuable time in discussing What
course to take on this mornentuoua
question.
Their deliberations, however viii
amount to nothing. and II matter
little what they may do III that dtrcG
ton. They may repeal or confirm til
Sherman bill, they may re establish G
abolish free coinage, 1t matters bu
little, as their actions in this directlo
will not start a single mill or tactor'
or furnish employment for doze
men. The cause of this uuprccedeu
ed depression is that plank in II
democratic platform which denouaet
the Mckinley I'LL and pledges the 4,
ministration to its repeal, and Il
adoption of tarln for revenue uul
Until Congress takes somo action 0
this vital question, times Will continl
to grow worse, ana thecsouds. hIstet
Of showing rift, Will continue
grow denser and blaeler.

The Morocco business Never WORSE
Never before has the morocco busi-
ness 10 this city been so dull. Leaving
out the factories OF the American
/ Leather Company and +. Blumenthal
Company all the others are practically
shut down. leaving about 1000 men
a lone In this industry out OF employ
ment, There are no orders for goods
coming In nor no money to receive for
past work, and from the present out
look there will not be change for
some time.
Robert Baird. OF the firm OF Charles
L. Baird and Company, whose works
are shut down, says that in his opin-
Ion this business depression Ia not al
together due. nor that 1t Ia half due,
to the Silver bill. That bill has Its ef-
feet and II repealed will bring great re-
lief. But the greater amount OF the
tlmldity and fear among the manu-
facturers lis due to q fear that the
Dem ocrats will tinker with the tariff.
Leaving the question whether the
country needs free trade or protection
aside, 1t Ia only natural that 1t would
throw things into tumult III there wac
a change for the worse, and 1t would
have to be met.
d The general depression Is largely
due 70 the closing down of wooler
and iron mills through Pennsylvania
and the East, which are said to employ
more than million men. These mel
cannot buy shoes and that puts thu
morocco business out. They canno
buy groceries and that puts the gro
GERS out.

When asked what would bring RI
