Words 1f an Arkansas Circmit Iudge-
Senator Thurston Thinks the
Tariff Comes First.

Des Moines, Iowa. June General J.
B. Weaver and other leaders Of the sill
yer party in the west were present at
the state silver meeting today. There
was a large general attendance and
much enthusiasm was manifested. The
conference today was non-partisan, and
it is understood that an effort will be
made to nominate ticket. The silver
wing Of the democratic party has con-
ference scheduled for tomorrow. Most
of those here will stay over for it. A
letter from United States Circuit Judge
Henry G. Caldwell Of Little Rock. Ark,
was read, in which he says:
so long as we proclaim to the world
that our purpose is to adhere to the
single gold standard until England
agrees to abandon it, free and unlimited
coinage of silver at any ratio will never
come. Supplications in this direction
will be in vain. She spurns them with
the arrogance and insolence that such
pusillanimOus actions on our part de-
serve What is more, Englands action
is courageous and aggressive, not cow
ardly supplication. The issue is sharply
defined. Those who do not favor the
free coinage of gold and silver at 16 to
!, making silver the unit of value, as
was done under the act of 1892, are for
the gold standard. There is no middle
ground"

EVERYTHING Is COMING HIS WAY
Senator ShOup of Idaho Enjoys a Run
of Good Fortune

Boise, Idaho, June 5.-Senator Shoup.
arrived today from his home in Salmon
City. He is looking better than for many
years and reports that he has not felt
better since he was young man. The
senator reports that he is in prosper
Gus condition in I.emhi county. His
mercantile house is doing more than
ever before. The mines are making a
phenomenal showing. The Yellow jack
ct. he says, is undoubtedly great
property. He was informed by the
manager that from 80 to 60 more stamps
would be added to the mill this year.
referring to President Cleveland's
action in stopping the payment of the
Nez Perez money, Senator Shoup said
that it was his impression that the ad-
ministration desired to hold back pay
ments of all kinds as much as possible
because of the growth of the surplus,
and that the president was willing to
find any excuse to delay the Nez Perez
matter.

Silver Is Legal Tender in Amounts Under
$50 Only.
Washington, June 4.-The Associated
Press cablegram announcing that
Chili's new currency conversion law
places that country on a gold basis,
created much interest here.
Secretary Cruise of the CHILEAN le-
cation, when asked today about what
effect the new law would have replied:
''No effect whatever on our bonds or
outstanding loans, all of which are
payable, principal and interest, in gold
But it will insure a stable currency
1t is not expected that gold will cir
culate much in ordinary commercial
transactions. Silver will be the me-
dunn, together with bank notes, issued
substantially on the United States sys-
tenn. To carry out the provisions Of
the new law, the new president of Chilli
is authorized to sell off the government
nitrate beds to procure the coin neces-
sary to retire this paper money.
For three years he is also authorized
to coin $10,000,000 Of silver annually and
to negotiate for the advances on the
purchase money of the nitrate beds.
Silver will be legal tender up to $50.
In sums exceeding that. it will be ex-
changeable at the minis for gold at it's
market value"

THINKS THE TAFIFF COMES FIRST
Views OF Senator ]. M. ThurstOn-Pre
diets Democratic Split.


Salt Lake, June 5.-Senator John nj.
Thurston in an interview today on the
political situation said:
At the time opposed Bryan for the
senate / took the position that the Uni
ted States could not take care of all the
silver in the world, but should take care
Of the American product under such
conditions as would make a silver dollar
as good as a gold dollar anywhere. I
believe the republican party will make a
that Of the national platform of 1892. 1t
binds the party to take care of the
American product, and believe the OBJ
legation will be recognized.
1.-THE large wing Of the democratic
party which fused with the populists
will declare for free and unlimited coin
age. feel now that there will be two
democratic conventions. When the con-
vention is held believe the free silver
wing Of the party will be in absolute
control, though 1t may not be able to
nominate on account of the two-thirds
rule.
81 don't see how the republicans can
go any further than they did in 1892
without declaring for free and un-
limited coinage of silver. The DISPOSE
ton of silver republicans to bolt is only
found to any great extent in Colorado,
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Nevada.
The republicans Of Oregon, California,
Washington and the Dakotas will sup
port the party declaration"
Being asked about the stand Of the
republican party on the tariff, he said:
IF any one supposes that the repub-
licans will acQuiesce in the Wilson bill,
he is much mistaken. believe the
tariff will be more important question
than silver For myself believe to re-
store protection will settle our financial
ills. am high tariff man and be-
lieve Mckinley is the best man for the
presidency"

most favorable Industrial indication.
This imported cotton, which comes for
the most part from Egypt, is of the
finest fibre. and is especially designed
for the production Of certain fabrics for
which the domestic material is not
adapted Instead Of anording an oc-
casion for lamentations of calamity, the
increased importat.ons Of this cotton is
evidence Of the increased manufacture
of fine fabrics IN the mills Of the Ua,Je5
states and of the increased coz sumption
Of such fabrics by the American people.
Formerly little or none Of this Egyp-
tan cotton was imported. it's use having
been mo1opol.zed by English, French
and German manufacturers. But now,
with the best machinery American in
genuity can invent. intellgently super
intended and handled by highly skilled
and well paid labor, the manufacturers
Of the United States have wrested this
monopoly Of producing the finest tissues
Of cotton from their foreign rivals. 1t
is not likely that the cotton manufact-
urers Of New England would favor a
duty on the Egyptian fibre for the sake
of protecting the Sea Island cotton,
which has the industrial world for its
full market.
Such a proposition would be too much
even for the stomach of the Protective
Tar.1 League
