III SILVER VIEWS.
An Old Letter Fished Up to Show the
Senator's 1895 Campaign Ideas.

Senator David B. Hill mas written a
letter to Mr.. Clark Howell, of the At
lantic Constitution, which has an in
direct bearing upon the next Presi-
Dental campaign. In it he declares:
~ am in favor of bimetallism as
the issue of the future. We should
seek TO keep that issue to the front.
We should not strive for temporary
success or compromise measures. We
should be for free coinage under an
international agreement, if it is posi-
BILE to procure one, and for which
every exertion should be made, and
if not possible, then for independent
bimetallism. This is the great goal
for which we should strive. 1t can
not be done at once
sour friends must not be impatient.
The people must be educated. The
unexpected action of India and the
general sentiment of the moneyed
classes eonspire against us at this time.
/ do not believe III the Bland bill or
any other measure which guarantees
anything less than unrestricted coin
age for gold and 81 ver alike, as pledged
in the Democratic platform. Let us
prepare, not for present victory, but
for victory upon that issue in 1895"
The fact that this letter was indited
nearly two years ago accounts for MIR.
Hills reference to India.

Pensions and Income Tax,

From the New York World.
If the gentlemen who are wasting
the time of the Senate with futile pro
tests against the collection of the in
come tax wish to preserve even al
appearance of di~sinterested candor ler
them discuss the easo which in,
duced those who do not favor income
taxation as a permanent system tt
advocate the tax as a relief for the la
Dor of the country from a burden
which has become too heavy for labol
to bear without the aid of capital
Let them tell, if they please, why the
wealth of the country should not con
tribute something towards meeting
the enormous expense of pensions.
The adjective enormous is use6
~advisedly. 1t is not an exaggeration
for the expense of pensions in the
United States is a burden the like o
which has not been imposed on the
labor of any other country for any
single item of civil expense in mod
ern times.
Let those who think this statement
unadvised consult the statistics. Ii
our proud and patriotic way we talk {
good deal of the burden of royalty or
the backs of the unfortunate peasant:
and moujiks of Europe, but the burden
of royalty is not to be mentioned ir
the same breath with our expense fol
pensions.
According to the latest and most re-
liable statistics the cost of royalty in
England is $2,e $780, 900 a year; in Aus
tria- Hungary, $3.50 900; in Italy, 50,
s5s, 900; in Prussia, 1882 600; in Rus
STA, S12, OOO, 900; in Spain, $4,000, 900
in Belgium, $3.50, 900; in Denmark,
1927, 775; in Greece, $780, 900; in the
Netherlands, $3.50, 600; in Sweden and
Norway, S575,000; in Portugal, s634,-
900; in Roumania, s237 900; in Saxony,
S735, 900; in Servia, S240, 600 and in
Wurtemburg, s44s $50.
This hist of the monarehies of Europe
foots up Il total annual expense of
s31, 727, S25. AT the close of the last
fiscal year we had $685. pensioners
on rolls, and they cost us $40, 772,
1875
This is considerably more than four
times the entire annual cost Of all the
monarchies of Europe! 1t seems in
credible, does it not, that the free labor
of free America has been taxed for
pensions so much more heavily than
moujiks and the bauers of Europe are
taxed to support their military mon
arches?
But since it is impossible to evade
the fact it must be met. And the only
way to mset it is with logical insist
ence that as long as the people have to
bear this burden the wealth as well as
the poverty of this country must con
tribute towards it.
After that it will be time enough for
those who have objections to the prin-
ciple of income taxation to put them
in evidence.

A PROMINENT citizen of Audrain

strongly favoring the movement to

The Union Pacific SWindle.

BOWEN, ILL.,, Jan 19.-The dispatch
published from Springfield, H., stating
that Jesse Beekwith walked into the
Federal Court room there thatday and
gave himself up and pleaded gully to
passing counterfeit money, and was
fined So and costs and sentenced TO
jail for thirty days, brought to the
minds of some of oar citizens some of
the escapades of young Beckwith.
Jesse Huntley Beckwith was raised
in Hancock Township, this county,
where his father, brothers and sisters
now live, and are regarded as good
citizens.
Some fifteen years ago young Beck"
with went TO Mexico, Missouri, and
afterward Ia Pettis County, and while
working for a man near Sedalia was
accused of rohbing him of $3.50. He
was going nnder the name of Jesse
Huntley at that time, and n special
from SedaliA to tht st, Louis papers
arrested the attention of Sheriff Dam
son ana Deputy Helms, who had 40
trouble IN recognizing inthe description
of Jesse ituntiey, aeekwith of Han
cook township, ON the strength of the
| reward offered, SI&tes Attorney Hal
botter and Sheriff Helms located Beck
| with IN Florida and then IN Kentucky,
AT this time he had II beat girl In Han
cock township, this county, and II was
through her, without her knowledge,
that Reckwith'a whereabouts were
known, Helms went Ia entheky aud
found his IA twelve miles from the
| railroad and took him 10 Seaalia,
While passing through ~, L4auia he
made an attempt at escape, but syasre-
captured, He vas sentenoedtotwenty
| years IN the ~penitsntiarS, After a
abort time in the p4nitentlary he be
came In delicate hes,lth and the physi-
elan reported him dying with con
sumption. He was pardoned and i'm
rae0iately recovered, 1t waa reported
the officers.
tit next escapa,ie seems TO have
been in the illegal liquor traffic near
Joeita. After two Intellectual attempts
at arrest in which he gave the officers
the slip, he went to the county seat
and paid his fine. lie was next heard
of in connection with Il gang of coun-
~terfeiters that operated in this county
sane five years ago. One member OF
the gang was sent up from Peoria and
the other, "Snaky John" was sen up
from this county. No evidence could
be obtained against Beckwith ut the
time. He drifted TO Missouri and while
living at Canton was arrested in Quin-
ey for passing counterfeit silver. Mar
shall Kavanaugh started with him &c
Springfield, and Wide near Mounds he
escaped by the window while the train
was running about thirty miles an
hour. This was about four years ago
Nothing has been heard from him
since until his voluntary appearance al
Springfield to answer to the indict-
ment for which he had been arrested
by Kavanaugh.
