TALK FREE SILVER.
Advocates of Unlimited Coinage Pre-.
sent Their Views.

The Denver open air meeting addressed
Tuesday afternoon by the silver cham
pions was the largest ever assembled in
that city. Congressman Sibley was the
first speaker, and plunged deeply into the
subject at the very beginning. He ad-
vised the debasement of partisanship and
the elevation of patriotism. Frantic ap-
peals have been made to educate the peo-
pie in regard to 'sound money" but be
thought there were so many people who
needed education in that way that the
oddities had hopeless task and one that
was daily becoming more so. The speak
or told many amusing stories illustrating
the points made, but the burden of the
entire speech was that it was necessary
to unite if hope was to be entertained
for the ultimate redemption of silver.
"Shake off party SPELLS he said, land
unite under the free silver banner, not as
Republicans, not as Democrats. nor yet a 8
Populists, but as free-born American citi-
Zens."
General Warner was the next introduce
ed. "We are face to face" he said, with
the question what is to be our money
how is it to be supplied:'
He undertook to show how the money
question is the dominant one in politics
today. THE line of battle is drawn,
recommendation on one side and bimetal-
lism on the other. He proceeded to ana
lyze the chances of the restoration of sill
yer within party lines and attempted to
show it's impossibility. He warned his
hearers against putting their trust in an
international conference. "As WELL" he
said "for our protection friends to pro-
pose an international conference on the
tariff America must and will take care
of itself"
Both speakers were frequently inter
rupted with bursts of applause.

TO FOUND a STATE.
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin
Would Contribute to Its Territory.

Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin
Would Contribute to Its Territory.
1t is seriously proposed to create new
State by taking part of the three States
of Minnesota. Wisconsin and Michigan,
which will be known rs the State of ''Su-
perior,'' or "the mineral State" This
idea is n modification of the new State
plan so often repeated, and its creator is
Captain Alex. McDougall, the inventor
of the whaleback. Captain McDOugall
would cut out territory bounded on the
north by Canada. on the west by the Mis-
sissippi river, on the south by line drawn
from the Mississippi river along the
southern boundary of the northern tier of
Wisconsin counties and terminating at
the extreme tip of the upper peninsula.
OF course, the eastern boundary line
would lie in the lakes, but that is imma-
ferial to the plan.
What is aimed at particularly is to place
the three great iron ranges. the Vermil-
lion, the Mesaba and the Gogebic, in one
State, so that the interests of none of
them could be injured by conflicting legis-
lation and all might be treated from the
same basis. Should the new State, which
would be the forty ffth of the Union, be
considered at all, it would have the addi-
tional advantage, the captain thinks, of
solving the difficulties of long standing
between Duluth and Superior, for, both
cities being in the same State, their in
terests would be in the main almost identi-
cal. At least there would be no State
line to vex and complicate their relations.
A West Superior correspondent, in
writing of the matter, says Duluth and
the northern part of Minnesota have no
interests in common with the rest of the
State. Wisconsin, it can truthfully be
said, bears the same relation toward SUI
perior and the northern portion Of the
State, and as for the upper peninsula, it
Is not, either from n commercial or geo.
graphical point of view, a part of the
State of Michigan. The new State would
be one of the richest in wealth in the
Union, it would have more than 500 miles
of water front and contain 1.-The head of

for the trade and commerce of the entire
northwestern country. superior" or
''the mineral State" would at once be-
come one of the greatest States of the
Union, it is firmly believed by its advo-
cafes.

CLEVELAND ANSWERED.
Chairman Harvey of the Bimetal1ic
League Replies to the President.


W. II. Harvey, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Bimetallic
League. has prepared a reply to the Pres
ident's letter to the Chicago committee of
business men. 1t says in part:
in reply to your letter addressed to
the committee of business men of this
city, we wish to say that the committee
that waited on you, and the persons who
attached their names to the invitation did
not represent the majority of business
men and citizens in this city who take
deep interest in the welfare of the repub-
lie. They represented that class that
owns money and securities payable in
fixed incomes. We respectfully submit
that your letter does not present the true
merits of the controversy. You call the
attention of the farmers and the wage
earners to the fact that the rising prices,
while enabling them to sell their products
and labor at higher prices, will also cause
them to pay equally more for what they
may purchase, but you neglect to say that
your statement is not applicable to debts.
With prices coming down regularly and
steadily since the characterization of sill
yer, our merchants, manufacturers and
on a falling market. so that the time o.
tervening between their purchase of their
merchandise or raw material and placing
it months after on the market. removing
the margin they would have had other
wise. This shrinkage in values added to
the ordinary risk and expense in business,
has led to the eyer-increasing volume of
debt-to the money lending period-until
it has increased all told. public and pri-
vate, to about forty billions of dollars,
or about two-thirds the total value of all
the property in the United States. Money,
and those debts payable in money have
been steadily increasing in exchangeable
value with the property of the people.
Taxes have increased rs expressed in
dollars and have doubled and quadrupled
as measured in the property people sur
render with which to pay it since 1873.
We have constantly pointed the people to
the ever-increasing exchangeable value Of
the creditors dollar, and to the reason
why it was increased, but the influences
of these creditors have dominated your
administration and you insist on such cur
rency as they have established as a
sound currency. We respectfully submit
that it was the intention of the founders
of this Government that it was safer that
ell people should do the thinking for it
than that any one class should do it for
them. We but express your own opinion
rs President of the people when we say
that all people should have an opportu-
nifty to investigate and intelligently pass
upon this question"

HAVOC ALONG THE MERRIMAC
New England Rivers Overflow and
Spre ad Destruction.


The most terrible flood since that of
1869 has inundated the valleys of Con-
necticut and the reports that have begun
to come in show that it has been particu-
larry disastrous. More than fifty families
in Concord alone are practically home
less. The waters that have Overflowed
the banks of the Merrimac are eddying
through their homes and they have been
abandoned A score of buildings have
been washed away and carried down the
river on the food. More than 800 persons
were taken from upper floor windows in
boats and carried to the uplands. Along
the line of the Concord and Montreal
Railroad enormous damage has been done
by the washing away of tracks and roll
ing stock.
Twenty-Five houses in the village o.
Huntonville have been washed away and
the Merrimac at that point is six miles
wide and sixty feet deep. Much stock
has been drowned. The Granite Rail
road Company has lost all it's tracks and
rolling stock. The twin bridges at Bos-
cawen are gone and at Seawall's Falls
the water is thirty feet deep.
Haverhill, Mass, which is on the banks
of the Merrimac, has suffered severely
from the flood. the foundations of at least
twenty of the largest business blocks
having been washed out and the whole
business section of the city being inun-
dated Many of the shoe factories are
closed and fully 10000 operators are out
of work. At Nashua, n. H., the-water is
twelve feet deep over the dam and all
business is suspended. The railroads are
all tied I'D and telegraph and telephOne
service is suspended; the river. running
through the center of the city, is twenty
five feet above high water mark. Every
bridge over the river at Manchester Is
