place where the republicans had tried

persons to their meeting, four Of them
Populists and two women, Scott had a
crowded house and a very interesting
meeting.
Next day, October 4, both speakers
addressed a fsir.sizsd crowd, but at
night the largest hall in town was
crowded to it's fullest capacity to hear
8. M. Scott.
October 5, at Gridley, in the afternoon,
Mr.. Scott addressed q large and enthusi-
RstiO audience, and at night in the same
place he held one of the most interesting
meetings held in the county.

that and adjoining townships. On the
evening of the same day, at Wavsrly the

ing room was at premium.
These meetings were attended by peo
pie belonging to all parties. Mr.. Scott,
BY his plain and fair manner, gained
many friends, and all persons united in
saying that he was the most gentle
manly and fair political speaker that
ever stumped the state, and that the
Qusnsmo Glee club was the best on the

ment of the treasury department In
1886 was the money estimated by the
department to be in circulation.
The population of the United States
in 1870 was SS,55S,S7l as reported by
the census of that year. Say it was So
million in 1865. This would be almost
$26 per capita according to these
figures, and that is more than anybody
claims to be in circulation now.
But there are other facts to be con-
sidered in this connection. It must
be remembered that the war was not
closed until 1865, and the United
States money in circulation at that
time was distributed among the people
Of the Northern states exclusively.
We must deduct 10 millions, therefore,
from the total population which was
about the population of the states In
rebellion. This leaves 20 million peo-
pie among whom the money in cirCu-
lation was actually distributed, which
would be a per capita circulation &C.
cording to this table Of S35 plus.
1t must further be observed that
that the 7.S0 treasury notes are not in
cluded in the table here given, and
these constituted part Of the clrcula-
tion at that time. We are we'll aware
that 1t is the custom of republicans
and even of treasury officials in these
days to deny this fact. AS we stated
in the beginning, however, the treas.
ury reports issued Immediately after
the close Of the war give the lie to the
claim. In those reports, which can
now be found only in the public libra.
ries, the 7-30 notes are always included
in the tables of money In circulation.
Many Of them were actually circuIat-
ing among the people, and many more
went to make up the legal reserves 70.
quired to be maintained by the banks,
thus releasing for actual use among
the people other forms of currency,
which are now required by law to be
held for that purpose. There were
$50 million dollars of these notes, which
according to the treasury reports Of
1866 to 1869 should be added to the
amount included in the table of the
statistical abstract of 1886. Still, In
the face of these facts, in the face Of
the fact that without the 7-30 notes,
this statistical abstract of 1856 shows
the money per capita in 1865 to have
been more than $35; and in face Of it's
own explicit editorial statement In
1890, that the circulation in 1866 was
actually upwards of $52 per capita, Che
Capital would now have it's readers be-
lieVe that the per capita circulation
has been constantly increasing instead
Of constantly diminishing. It's present
statement, that "there is so per cent.
more money per capita in the United
States than there was seventeen years
ago" is equally false. This same sta
tistical abstract of 1886 gives the total
aggregate circulation" seventeen
years ago 1S77 as 81 ,OO2, ,226, ,S69.sl.
This was upwards of $26 per capita,

AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.

Today at Saratoga the National Con-
ference of the Unitarian body begins its
sessions to continue up to and including
Friday. These annual conventions are
of especial influence and interest here
IN New England where the Uni
tartan Church is particularly strong
and this years meeting will
consider some especially important mat
ters of organization aud constitution
which promises to make the conference
not little exciting. The constitution
of the conference was altered in 1866,
in 1868, in 1870 and in 1882, with an
ever advancing tendency in the direc-
tion of greater broadness of view and
that cordiality toward all mankind
which distinguishes the Unitarian body.

TO KEEP UP UNCERTAINTY.

The Democratic papers which claim
that the Republicans are endeavorinp
TO again agitate tariff uncertainty and
once more upset business conditions
after the Democracy has just completed
It's work, are not only insincere. but are
malieiously misrepresenting the situa-
ton. That the tariff is being made the
issue this fall is admitted, and il is
equally true that the Republicans are
forcing it forward as the only issue of
national importance but the Republicans
are absolutely powerless to change
word or n line Of the
present bill for at least thrss
years no matter how much they might
desire TO do so. While Mr.. CLEVELAND
occupies the Presidents chair. tho
Republicans could not alter the present
law over his veto, even allowing that
they secured control Of both House and
Senate 50 until March 4. 1897. IL is an
impossibllity for the Republican party
TO make any change in the tariff. and
agitate the question as much as they
might ut least three years must elapso
oeioss change could be made
through their instrumentality. SO
The charge that they are en-
deavoring TO upset business ere the
country fairly gets settled under the
new 'Arih conditions is manifestly false |
and unfair
IL therefore the tariff question is acted
upon during the next three years il must
