FRANKFORT, KY, June 14.-Senstor
Blackburn addressed a large audience
here tonight. he had hoped IL would
not be necessary for him to speak to his
neighborp, as he had defended himself
against lies and ISLANDERS elsewhere
Every Newspaper wearing the collar OF
its master, every gauger and storekeeper
had combined with the administration
and money power to cause his defeat.
Senator Lindsay told them last night
that he (Blsckburn) was preaching
hereSy. Carlisle had been sent here and
he thought it would be more civil il the
president would make the combine COM
plste and lock the doors OF she White
House and come himself.
Carlisle was taken to task for saying
he never favored free and unlimited
coinage. He sat Oy his side end thought
he heard him vote for the Bland silver
bill on November 5, 1873, and vote snd
speak for the acts Of 1890, and he would
give the best member Of his body if Car
Isle had not been the Rblsst advocate Of
free and unlimited coinsge Of silver.
"But Brutus tells you that hs had not,
and surely Brutus is an honorable man.
Carlisle said in his three speeches
there was but 8 millioI dollars in silver
dollars coined between 1892 and 1873,
while the truth is there was $50 million
dollars Of silver money coined. Carlisle
was also accused OF misTspresentiDg by
90 million dollars the amount Of gold in
circulation.
The greatest portion Of the speech
was devoted to the severe criticism Of
Cleveland, Carlisle, Lindsay, and the
the press.

attack upon the Shufeldt distilleFy, Ona
Of the plants of the trusts, occurred at \
o. clock this morning, when an armed
party Of q dozen men attempted 10 talEe
possession Of the digtillsEy. The at-
tacking party was met by Che deputy
maEshRls who had been placed On guard
by Receiver MCNulta Of the trust, and
after q harmless exchange OF twenty-five
or thirty shots the man retreRted.
Trouble hes beSn expected atthe trust
dlstilleries since the recent decision Of
the Illinois supreme court, declaring the
whisky trust illegal. Several Of ths
former owners OF the various distilleViea
declared under the decision che plsnts
reverted TO those from whom the puE-
Chaaes were made.
Receiver MCNulta promptly applied 80
the United States marshal FOR assistance
and for several days each Of the distillaE.
is8 had bsen closely guarded by armed
deputy United States msrshsls.
The ShuHeldt plant where last nights
trouble occurred Ia located at Chicago
avenue and the river. The attacking
party secured q large acOW, and when
first seen by the guards was gliding
silsntly down Che river.
The deputy marnhals were quietly
punched at the landing, and when tho
sCow neared the shore, the men wsgaI
commanded to surrender. They Esplisd
with q volley Of revolver shots, and the
deputies promptly opened fire. Uuder
the volley men quickly dropped down
the river and reaching Q landing dissp-
pesEed. The force Of deputies ct the
plant Was doubled 10. day.
The Shufsldt diStillsry was sold 70

Lynch family. One OF the LynOhss,
Thomas Lynch, jr., has been reported TO
have declared his intention Of regRining
possession Of the distillery, and his
name was frequently mentioned today
in connection with last nights rRid.
The officials Of the trust refused TO dis
cuss his connection with it.

der which fortunes are made by the RC-

nal legislation Of 1873 has imposed upon
this country.
The blmstRllists' standard Of silver
and gold has behind it the experience Of
ages, and has been tested and approved
by the enlightened and deliberate de-
cree Of mankind. The gold standard is
a departure from the established policy
OF the civilized world, with nothing to
commend it, and with twenty-five years
Of depression and disaster to the people
and extraordinary accumulation Of
wealth in the hands OF the few.
THE CHANGE.
There are some facts bearing upon
this question recognized and adopted by
ell candid men, whether advocates Of BIZ
metallism or Of the single gold standard.
Among these is the fact that the very
year that marked the change from b.
metallic to the single gold standard iD
the very year that marked the change
from q condition Of rising prices, large
profits, general contentment and great
prosperity, to q condition OF falling
prices, diminishing profits, insecurity OF
investments, unemployed labor and q
heavy depreaSion in ell branches Of trade
and industry. It IL not matter Of dis
pute, even among the honest advocates
Of the gold standard that general pros
psrity came to an end with the destruc-
ton Of the bimstallic system, and that
hard times, falling prices, idle WOrkmen,
and widespread depression, came in
with the gold standard and prevails TO-
day wherever the gold standard has been
adopted. Every international monetary
conference that has been called, every
demand in this country or Europe for
an international agreement to re.estsb-
lish the bimetRllie standard Is o conies-
sion that the demonstration Of silver
was blunder, IL not q crime; that its
consequences have BEEN disastrous, and
that the conditions that it has wrought
are full Of menace and Of peril. The
logic OF facts establishes beyond intSlli.
