land three times and electing him
twice to the presidency, the Stand

him to use all the powers of govern

, country has been astounded to see
postoffices and patronage used to
coerce congress into doing biddings
OF the East, from striking down sill

In the meantime the country has
been going on from bad to worse.
With abundant crops, and with the
most industrious and enterprising
people to be found on earth, we are
in paralyzed condition, brought
on by no natural cause, but by the
arbitrary acts of a number of the
governments of the world controlled
by the influences of the salaried
classes and of the bondholding
classes of Europe and America.
These wanted to make all property
and commodities cheap and money
dear, and they have succeeded. The
result is, that the purchasing power
OF the producing classes has been
destroyed, while all the debts. taxes
and other fixed charges remain the
same. 1t takes all the people can
get together to meet the fixed
charges. Consequently labor is idle.

Now, does the presidents letter offer

STIRS UP BLAND.
The Silver Crank Hit Hard by
CIeveIand,s Points.

LEBANON, Mo-, April 15.-Hon.
r. p. Bland was seen at his home
today and interviewed relative to
President Cleveland's letter. Mr..
Bland was shown the salient feature
of the presidents letter, and said,
after perusing it carefully:
Mr.. Cleveland, unfortunately for
himself, his party and his country,
from the beginning of his admins
tration, draws the line sharply be-
tween the friends of bimetaIlism
and gold recommendation. In doing
so he has forced upon the country a
state of affairs that is intolerable to
the masses of our people. Gold
recommendation is a stencil to the
nostrils of the plain people, The gold
standard may do for the bondholders
and the bankers, but the sufferipgs
or the industrial masses consequent
from silver decentralization will not
be endured longer without a strue-
gle, the like of which this country
has not seen since the late civil
war. Mr.. Cleveland must remem-
Der that this crystalization and com
bination of the gold standard senti-
ment and methods wrought disaster
to the people of all gold standard
countries, and this policy is now
running this country. 1t is the state

And His Bill, but a Number
Whooped 1t Up for School :.
master Coin.
w. H. EUsTIs TO THE FORE.
He Said the Silver Craze Was
Passing, and They Jumped
on Him.

The Union league, that venera-
BILE Republican body, showed its Sill
yer side last night.
Last night they met to decide
whether or not to re-enact the NC
Kinley bill, but the tariff took up
but a small portion of the evening.
The scheduled speakers did not ap-.
pear, and the session was spent In
desultory discussion over the tables.
The general sentiment was for the
renewal of the Mckinley bill. Some
wanted it to extend to Importation
of labor, and to silver as COM
modify, and w: H. EuStiS was in
favor of renewing the sugar bounty,
with a local bounty in Minnesota
on beet sugar. There was also quite
a little discussion over the essen
tial difference between reciprocity
and free trade. Judge John II.
Steele and Judge w. A. Kerr could
not see any, but were in the minor
i'ty. The league also had Httle
fun at the expense of the local
Democracy and their Jeffersonian
banquet.
Then the silver band began to
play. Some one suggested that cur
rency would be the issue in the
next campaign, and that tariff talk
would be dropped. EX-Mayor Eustis
said the silver craze was passing,
but the remark brought down "a
world of words about his ears" H.
H. Wadsworth, Judge Steele and
several others took it up, and ques-
tions began to fly thick and fast.
George H. Fletcher, who had just
come in, took a hand, and recalled
a statement made in the room last
August by Fred B. Wright that the
United States furnished the market
for 40 per cent of the worlds prod
uctS, and could therefore determine
it's own standard of value. And fully
half the members present Joined in
the applause. Coin was frequent
ly mentioned, and his arguments
were brought UP by several who
attended his lectures last week.
President Hendrix finally declared
the discussion out of order, remark
ing the Mckinley bill was before the
house
The league will discuss the Nc
Kinley bill at it's next meeting, if it
has luck.

POOR MRS. cow.
Experts Tell of Her Capacity to
Do Harm.

Do Harm
At meeting of the board of trade
yesterday morning, several interesting
papers on tuberculosis were read A
number of experts had been invited
to speak on the topic CT milk and
dairy inspection, and the interest in
the subject was shown in the great
number of papers submitted. There
was quite a crowd present to hear the
discussion, which included many
owners of cattle. A dozen large glass
jars containing samples of the dis
eased viscera of cows were conspicu-
ously in evidence, and the aspect of
things in general was gruesome.
G. l.. Smith, assistant state food and
dairy commissioner, started the ball
rolling by reiterating his statement
that there is not nearly SO much tuber-
culosis as people imagine. He said
the inspections conducted by the state
were preferable to those of the city,
and that the dairies in the vicinity of
Minneapolis were in igood average
condition. He was followed by Health
Commissioner Avery, DR.. Cotton
veterinarian; DR.. Reynolds, veterin-
arian from the state agricultural
school; DR.. c. W.. Drew, and DR.. C. N.
Hewitt. The latter urged that the
state was abundantly able to cope with
the disease and should not be hamper
ed.
At the close of the session, resolu-
tons were adopted calling upon the
city council to take official cognizance
Of the matter by establishing a system

gard to the city's deal with George A.

ed discussion between that official and
Mr.. Bracket, who asked him a good

A lady stenographer was present, and
took down what she could of the testi-
mony, but owing to Aid. Rand's
anxiety to have the door open the
noise was so great that she dropped
her pencil in despair and declared that
she couldn't hear a word Mr.. Hangar

cording to the law in the case. No one
saw him commit the crime and there
is absolutely no evidence against him
unless Harry Hayward takes the
stand to tell what he knows, and there
is little danger of his doing that, as
his testimony would, of course, be an

BETTER TIMES EAST,

Senator Washburn Talks Encour-
ngfnsly of the business Outlook.
Senator w. D. Washburn arrived
in the city yesterday morning from
Virginia, where he has been spend
ing a few weeks for his health. The
senator takes a cheerful view of
things in the East, and says bust
ness men in New York feel hopeful
of better times. ga number of fac
tories" said he, that have been idle
for long time have started UP, and
what is significant, at an advance in
wages. One of the largest wooden
mills in the country gave it's en-
ployes an advance recently, with
the promise of an increase soon. I
was also Informed of increases in
the salaries of silk mill employees"
AS to the proposed dam in the Mis-
Sissippi river below the Washington
avenue bridge, the senator said the
indications were that work would
be begun in a short time, which
would give employment to hundreds
of men. The agreement between the
Twin City Rapid Transit company
and the Milling company had been
completed, and had it not been for
slight hitch in the arrangements
with London parties, the work
would be under way.
He said there was much dissatis-
faction with the income tax law in
New York, where there are so many
great estates, and instanced the
Astor estate, which comprises thous-
ands of buildings ON which not one
cent of tax can be collected under
the new law.
The senator did not think there
would be any financial legislation
by the next congress owing to the at
titude of the senate, which, he said.
was committed to the free coinage
Of silver, and to the attitude Of Pres
ident Cleveland
Senator Wash burn will leave short
