moth-eaten old dodge of "interna.
tional agreement" which has been
used to stave of free silver for long
time, for these people know that if
the United States adopts free silver,
all other countries will have to do 90
or be commercially ruined.
Lastly it invites people to attend
the gold bug convention which was
held in Memphis some weeks ago.
Here is another sample. This was
written by Boykin, GARNER L. Co.,
of Baltimore, to Mr.. +. j. Faison,
Faison, n. c. 1t says:
BALTIMORE, June 10th, 1895.
Dear .Sir:-As your interest and ours
is the same, with regard to the cur
rency, and there seems to be SO much
discrepancy on the subject, vitally i'm
pOrtant to all, you will excuse us for
asking your attention briefly to what
seems, as far as we can learn, your
duty as we'll as ours. in the present
emergency. The South and West
seem to be united on the subject of
free coinage of silver" or as many ex-
press it,, "unlimited coinage" The
manufacturers of the South as well as
North, nearly all the bankers, manu-
facturers as well as merchants of the
North, believe in what is called "bime-
tallism," i. e., the use of both gold and
silver, giving silver gold value,
which means of course, a silver dollar
must be equal in value to gold dollar,
known and recognized as such the
world over. Prosperity with best
prices, for what the farmer and miner
has to sell means honest money.
Now, as business is beginning to i'm
prove again, iron, the great and un-
failing barometer to commercial value,
is advancing; cotton, the great South
ern staple has advanced 40 to so per
cent, manufacturers are voluntarily
advancing wages, business generally
improving, then with the experience
we have had in the past two unfOrtu-
nate years, why dicker and trifie with
the currency Why not instruct your
your Legislators to "let well enough
Alone" and vote for an honest dollar?
Stick to the gold dollar, or its value in
silver, and leave "free and unlimited
coinage" to unscrupulOus politicians
who advocate it, to get office"
BOYKIN, GARNER & Co.
An analysis of this letter shows
that the trusts have advanced the
price of iron, and with this advance
Of from 40 to so per cent, they have
made an advance of only ten per cent
in wages. Cotton has advanced
after the farmers who produced it
have sold it all. Any working man
who thinks the present condition of
affairs is one which can call for let
ting "well enough alone" has no
right to citizenship in this country.
Any intelligent man knows that a
politician or a newspaper can get
more pay for advocating goldbug-
gerry to-day than can be had by ad-
vocating silver; so the entire letter
seems to be slush of demagogical

ex-Congressman Ellis, Congressman
McCreary, John s. Rhea, Jacob
Rome, and Senators Blackburn and
Lindsay took part. Mr.. Rhea bitterly
assailed President Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle. Senator Black
burn warned the convention against
indorsing Sherman instead of Jeffer-
son. He had never Endorsed Re-
publican platform. and he did not
want the Kentucky Democracy to do
so today. He was for Democratic
bimetal!ism and not for the Republi-
can gold standard. He was not here
for any new departure, but for old,
time-honored Democratic principles,
and to oppose the new tangled poll
cies of the Republican element that
was trying to shape the policies today
for the Democracy of Kentucky.
At the conclusion of the deba te
the majority report was adopted
by vote of CAT 1910 yeas to 233 39 20
nays.
''It does not make any difference
who wins for Governor now" said
Senator Lindsay, ''homest money has
been endorsed and that is what We
were after in the main"
HARDIN NOMINATED.
Nominations for Governor were
then made, and despite the fact that
the covention had declared for the
gold standard by unequivocally en-
dorsing Cleveland and Carlisle, it
went to work and selected Gen. w.
P. Hardin, who is a silver man. The
vote on the first ballot stood, Hardin,
1851; Clay, 33Oa; Stone 76; Waiter
son, 3.
And such is the double-dealing and
double-face policy Of some southern
Democracy. 1t should not be forgotten
that the Republican State conven-
tion which met in Kentucky few
day ago also declared for gold. 1t
should be remembered that Demo-
cratic papers all over the country
have been earnestly and unqualified
ly declaring that the national Demo-
cratic platform of 1892 was a SILVER
platform, and that they are now call
ing it GOLD platform; and that
this is the platform adopted by Ken
lucky Democracy.
Now let somebody tell what a
Democrat is, please?

GERRY is AFRAID
That There Is Something Wrong In the Pro-
posed New York Police Bill.

Albany n. Y April 1.-THE final hear
ing on the New York city police justices
bill which abolishes the justices and pro-
vides for nine police magistrates was held
before the Senate Judiciary committee this
afternoon.
Elbridge Z. Gerry asked to have 90 Sec
tions of the bill stricken out as unneces-
sary and vicious. He said the judges are
eminent criminal lawyers. He intimated
that social political, and religious pre-
JUDGES were shown in the drafting of the
bill Perhaps he said there were too
many Democrats and Catholics in the
courts.
Senator O'Connor asked if the peculiar
features of the bill were not really anti
Catholic. Mr.. Gerry answered that they
might be.
Senator O'Connor asked if it was not
possible that those back of the bill wanted
to get justices who would discriminate in
favor OF sect.
Mr.. Gerry stated that ho felt certain
that something of the kind was intended
Senator Mcmahon assented. Mr.. Gerry
said he understood the bill was drawn by
a committee of 10 for the committee of TO-
Senator o. Connor intimatcd that the
A. p A was back of these.
Mr.. Gerry said he was afraid there was
something in these stories.
Senator OConnor noted that none of
the friends of the bill appeared although
all were notified. Several gentlemen in
Guiding Justices Feitner and Taintor,
made arguments against the bill,

supposed that she was lost in the great

ter, native Of Edgecomb, Me-, who had

The Stronghold of Health

Is soon carried by the assaults of malaria, but
if Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is employed as
bulwark against the disease, absolute safety
is attained. The most virulent forms of dis
ease bred by miasma, tainted air and water,
soon yield to the creative and combatiye in
fuence of this efficient safeguard, which for
tifes the system as no other medicine up to
date has ever done. Itcounteracts tendency
to rheumatism, neuralgia and kidney COM
plants, overcomes indigestion, nervousness
constipation and liver troubles, improves the
appetite and promotes digestion. Taking for
all in all, it is probably the most useful fami-
ly remedy in existence. and is popular as well
as affective. Use it systematically. not at ir-
resuar intervals.

The Mule Spinners' convention at Bos-
ton, Thursday, voted that petition be
put before the Legislatures of the several
states represented to reduce the weekly
working hours to 5S. Two or three locals
desired to agitae the question of an in
crease of wages but the executive council
considered the time inopportune, but
pledged itself for the agitation when the
market changes. A grievance regarding
wages in Brunswick Me-, was aired, but
the impression was that an amicable ar
rangement could be made. Matters -of
local interest were discussed briefly and
the representative from New Bedford
spoke feelingly and laudably on the action
of Mill Owner Rowland of New Bedford,
who in the hardest stage of the times, re
fused to accept tho proffered reduction of
wages made by his help.

Shown in Order 10 Dealers to Stop Dealing in
Imported Sugars.

created among Philadelphia sugar men,
today, by an order issued by the Sugar
Trust directing them to stop handling all
imported sugars A number of brokers say
they will not be materially affected by the
order, as they ordinarily handle but little
OF the imported product.
The dealers that will suffer the most
are importers, small jobbcrs and firms
who trade in Scotch yellow brands. The
latter brands which are imported. under
sell the lower domestic grades and are
used largely by oonfectioners. 1t is stated
that about 60, 900 bags of "Scotch vel
lows" are imported annually.
The order will be obeyed, it is said, for
the reason that disobedience would give
the trust an opportunity to crush the re-
calcitrant dealers.
