THEY'RE RALLY|NG.
Business Magnates of Chicago
Getting Together.
They Demand the RemOnetiZa-
tiOn of Silver.
GOLD NOT ENOUGH.
The Salvation of the CONNER
cial World
Depends on Adoption OF Inter
national Bimetallism.

CHICAGO, May 7-Chicago bankers
merchant princes, and manufacturers
whose names are widely known, have
come out for international bimetallIsm-
Marshal Field, Lyman J. Gage, George
NJ. Pullman and fifty others of wealth
and importance in the financial world,
have signed a creed with bimetallism as
its basis and pledged themselves to pro-
mote its adoption as an international sys-
tenn.
This is the outcome of a conference
held a short time ago by several promi-
nent financiers. At the conference the
following statement of principles was
prepared by committee:
ssThe committee is formed for the pur-
pose of promoting the establishment of
international bimetallism upon the
general plan of the Latin union,
but with a broader basis. Those
concerned in the movement, while earn
estIy opposed to free coinage Of silver or
any increased use of silver by this coun-
try, independent of international action
and agreement, believe that the repeal
of the purchase clause of the Sherman
act affords fitting and fortunate Oppor-
tunity for advancing the cause of inter-
national bimetallism-
sThey believe that the day is not far
merce will compel the International use
OF silver as we'll as of gold in the curren-
eles throughout the world"
Franklin I'll. Head, who was appointed
secretary Of the committee, at once set
about finding others of the same belief
and up to the present time has secured
the signatures of over fifty prominent
gentlemen. In addition to Messrs- Field,
Gage and Pullman, the list contains the
names of Philip ID. Armour, Franklin
McVeigh, III. FL. Porter, John r. Walsh,
III. III. Kohlsaat, John DeKoven. j. w.
Doane, T. b. Blackstone, Victor +. Law
son. William Penn Nixon, Joseph Me-
dill, Robert Il. Lincoln, Erskine M.
Phelps. Marvin Hughitt, FL. N. Higgin-
botham, and many others well known in
the commercial and financial world
Speaking OF the matter last night Mr..
Head said: "If England will enter into
an international agreement to accept a
bimetallic system every other great
power will do the same and gold will
cease to appreciate, prices will stop
restored. If there is not some kind of a
change soon India will be bankrupt as
Argentine, Guatemala andTurkey are now
and England knows it. That is why the
time is ripe to make a move for inter-
national bimetallism. Universal re-
mCnelization of silver is what we want.
To adopt free coinage in this country in
the absence of such an agreement would
be fatal to us. Let all nations adopt it
and we shall see end of the world
wide depression which has followed the
decentralization of silver in 1878.
''Our committee will soon be organized
aud then we will be heard from possibly
in a memorial To congress or in inter-
national monetary conferences"

FRY's ARMY MAKES MONEY.
Thinks He VIII Have 1000 In Treasury
When He Reaches Washington.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 7.-General
Fry and his army of 200 filed out of Camp
Landers today on to Washington over the
natianal road. AS the the army march
ed through Washington street it was led
by the general and Corporal Mullen who
were followed by flag bearer and drum
mer.
Greenfield, 20 miles east is their objec-
tive evening point. Before leaving, Fry
said that the roasting the local press had
given him helped to advertise him and
had put $500 into his pockets; that
he had worked" the town to its
limit and had a good time. He will
reach Washington, he thinks with $4,000
in his treasury, a greater portion of
which will come from the sale of his
book. He said the army would stop at
all the towns ON the route.
At Irvington, fifteen Butler university
students with handkerchiefs tied
on rails met the army and
demanded a speech from Fry to
which he responded in a few
words, and after a sentimental young
woman had tied a bouquet on the gen
erals lapel with gold wish bone for
good luck, the army resumed its east
ward march.

superintendent has found corporal
punishment effective for reformation of
young criminals when every other
method failed. 1t is particularly sue
cessful when applied to incorrigible
sexual perverts.
The so-called paddle" used at Elmi-
ia is an effective instrument. and yet
is not an instrument of torture. 1t
leaves no scars it does not break the
flesh and it is believed that if its use
were allowed in all our prisons it would
have salutary effect.
The average age OF the felons at
Elmira is 90 years, an age when the
passions OF these ferocous young Grim
mails are in full vigor. When it is de-
cded that the offense OF the prisoner
demands corporal punishment he is
placed with his face to a wall, the
fieshy part of his back exposed. and the
superintendent. delegating the work to
no hand but his own, inficts upon the
man rarely more than twelve, usually
only six, often but two or thee blows,
with little strap barely three-six-
teenths of an inch in thickness, two
and three-tourths inches wide and
twenty inches long. 1t gives sharp,
smarting blow, but does not and can
not injure. It is more merciful pun
lshment than the dark cell and the pro-
longed solitary confinement with their
revolving mental torture; and yet sen.
timental folk favor the cell and object
to the corporal punishment as cruel.
The value OF corporal punishment
when applied by an intelligent and
responsible superintendent instead o.
being turned over to a comparatively
irresponsible and passionate subordi
nate, is illustrated by the fact that ovel
so per cent of the inmates of Elmirf
become law-abiding citizens; that is
over so per cent have behaved we'll afte

work of the canvass and of
election day. Finer material for the
purpose couldn't be found and needn't
be wished. The paid heelers wouldn't
be in it with them. But the young
citizens should be enrolled, and the
work intelligently mapped out and sys-
tented. System Is mali the battle In
politics ss in other things.
The second suggestion should com
mend itself to every Arizona man,
Democrat or Republican, who has an
honest pride in the good name of the
territory, who has been grieved and
shamed by the corruption that in re-
cent years has eaten its way into her
primaries and elections. who want to
see halt called on vote buying. 1t is
that the chairmen OF the two commit
tees, the Repu blican and the Democrat,
sit down on opposite sides of table
and figure out together the legiti-
mate campaign expenses. and
then shake hands as honest men
and gentlemen on mutual prom
Use not to put out another dollar for any
purpose whatsoever. Probably it is too
much to hope for at present, but it isn't
an untried novelty. 1t has been tried
in Connecticut-and both parties hon
orably lived up to their agreement.
Think of the saving in money, and the
greater saving in things more import
ant than money, that this plan would
effect.
The third suggestion is not original
with US. 1t relates to the lobby. The
short way to abate this nuisance and
pest is to send up men to the general
assembly, from all the counties whom
the lobby can neither buy nor fool
They should be business men, who will

DEMOCRATIC BLUSTER.

The Democratic speakers just now
are making some tall statements that
sound well, but the trouble of it is there
is no truth in much that they say.
They have been talking a great deal
about this country capturing the mar
kets of the world, but 1T would require
long time for US to do so it we con-
tinued in the same pace set by the
Cleveland administration. Here are
some figures bearing upon the question
given by the New York Recorder, that
puts the matter in strong light. That
paper says: During the last year of
President Harrison and before the
elections warned the people here and
abroad that Democracy was in the sad
die the foreign commerce of this coun-
try reached the highest point ever at
tanned by the nation. The aggregate
thereof reached the enormous sum Of
81, 1857 $50, 100 in 1892. In 1898 after
the Democracy had warmed up to its
work, it fell to $1,7I4,006, 116, and in
1894 to 81 .547, ,69S. Here we have a
falling off in 1898, as compared with
1892, OF 1864, 494, and in 1894, as
compared with 1892, of 1910 SAL ,912.
In 1892 the exports from this country
exceeded its imports by 5000, 1915, 1856.
We were then doing good, safe, pay
ing business, selling more than we
bought. But after the advent of
Democracy in 1898, the imports ex-
ceeded the exports 1875, 72S, and we
were buying more than we were selling.
And how did the farmers come out
under Democracy? In 1892, under
Harrison. $799, 1928, 232 worth of Ameri-
can agricultural products were export
ed. In 1898, under Cleveland, the agri.
cultural exports amounted to S615. $780,
1856, and in 1894 to only $62S,31S, 773.
Here we have falling off in 1898 of
1888, 945. 246, and in 1894 of $171 ,O09,-
459, in the vital item of farm products.
In the face of these facts and figures
the Democratic speakers show that they
do not lack for audacity and care little
for truth when they are attempting to
make votes. But they are doing per-
haps the best they can under the cir
cumstances. They are not fortified
with facts and figures to bolster up
their wavering cause, and, therefore,
have to draw upon their Imagination.
