to me THAT am quite plainly on record con-
cerning the financial question. My letter
accepting the nomination to the Presidency,
when read in connection with the message
lately sent to the Congress in extraordinary

but want it to be of such a character as

ssI want our financial condition and the
laws relating to our currency safe and re-

spend and invest it in business and new
enterprises instead OF boarding it. You
cannot cure fright by calling it foolish and

upon profltably and hopefully after the re-
peal Of the law, which is charged with all our
financial woes In the present state OF the
public mind this law cannot be built upon
nor patched in such q way as to relieve the

it am therefore opposed to the free and

II confess am astonished by the oppo-
sition In the Senate to such prompt action as
would relieve the present unfortunate situa-
tion.
aMy daily prayer Is that the delay occa-
stoned BY such opposition may not be the
cause Of plunging the country into deeper
depression than have yet known, and that
the Democratic party may not be justly held
responsible for such catastrophe. Yours

Mr.. Bryan, OF Nebraska, who Is a
member OF the majority of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, is trying TO
have a gradual income tax made part
OF the tariff bill. II it is not accepted,
he will present 1t to the House in some
form. The young Nebraska statesman
thinks he has solved what is con-
sldered the most Objectionable
feature Of the income tax proposition,
the inouisitorial feature. He would
have IL made the duty Of every person
liable to a tax upon his iBcome to go to
the officer and pay it and not sub
iect them to system OF prying
agents of the government which has
been suggested as its disagreeable fea-
ture. He thinks those that had no de-
sire to avoid the payment of the tax
would escape the inquisition or annoy
ance. He will propose tax on
all incomes above $4,000 at the
rate of l per cent, 2 per cent,
on $4,000, per cent. on $4,000, 6 per
cent. on S25, 900, and 10 per cent. on
$50, 600. His plan is to have the post
masters in cities Of 10000 population or
less collect the income taxes, and In the
large cities a special income tax col
lsctOr TO be appointed.

on Monday that the appointment Of re-

tends south and westward from Omaha,

reason Of an order issued late
last night by General Man

Of work for all shopmen about thirteen
hours per week. The men have been
working 65 hours a week in the shops
throughout the system, acQulescing In
the several reductions made during the
summer. but were granted an increase
TO As hours per week commencing Mon
day morning. This will increase the
pay roll SIS, 900 per month. The ac-
tion was taken after the conference of
the receivers and the order was given
Mr. Mcconnell late yesterday after
noon.

which. left here Friday morning for

BUFFALO, N. Y, October 15.-The
saddest feature Of the lake storm which
ragged Yesterday and last night Is the
reported loss of the steamer Dean Rich
mond, on the shore near Dunkirk. The
first that was heard OF this disaster
was at 9 o'clock this morning, when the
Captain Of the Helena reported having
sighted the Dean Richmond of Long
Point, where she seemed to be laboring
under difficulties.
Later Captain Jack Tlerney, Of the
steamer w. 81. Stevens, reported that
be sighted the Richmond In the middle
of the lake, about four miles this side
of Erie. One Of her stacks was missing
and while he was looking, the other
stack and spar went by the board. She
was laboring heavily in the trough rs
though her steering gear had become
disabled. Since then nothing has been
seen or heard of the vessel. 1t is
thought that she must have gone down
with all on board.
Her cargo was eighty tons OF mer-
chandise from Toledo to Buffalo. She
belonged to the Toledo, st. Louis and
Kansas City line. Her crew consisted
OF about eighteen souls. Of which the
following is the best obtainable list:
George Stoddard, master, Toledo; Wal
ter Goodyear, first mate, Toledo; George
-, second mate, Toledo; John
Hogan, first engineer, Port Huron;
William Brown, fireman, Toledo; +.
Wheeler, wheelman, Toledo; Francis
Patton, lookout. Buffalo; Miss Aims
worth, stewardess. Port Huron.
A dispatch from Dunklrk this even
ing states that three unknown bodies,
apparently OF sailors, have been
washed ashore a few miles from that
point. The local agent Of the steam
ship line has telegraphed to every point
on the lake shore between Buffalo and
Erie to keep a sharp lookout for wreck
age or bodies, but so far has received
