Yankton Press: Senator Chan
dler's letter to the Colorado re-
publican league was SO mutilated
in transmission by the associated
press that it is worth while to re-
produce a portion of 1t in its COR
rected form. After announcing
that the republican party would
go into the next presidential
battle pledged to bimetallism,
Senator Chandler said:
president Cleveland and his
administration are absolutely in
the hands of Mr.. j. Pierpont Nor

bankers; they are against silver
as a money metal and they are
committed to gold ,nonometal-

The Farmers National con-
gress, at the Atlanta exposition,
adopted resolutions, the substance
of which hardly agrees with the
report sent out by the associated
press to the effect that the said
congress had defeated the resolu-
tion in favor of bimetallisln. The
resolutions read as follows:
Resolved, That we favor the
free and unlimited coinage of both
silver and gold at the present
ratio of 16 to /, guarded by an
import duty upon foreign bullion
and foreign coin equal to the diff
ferences between the bullion value
and the coinage value of the
metal at the date of importation
whenever the bullion value of the
metal is less than its coin value.
Resolved, That the farmers

the equal use Of both gold and
silver coin as money and equally
as standards of value, and to Sc
cure this object we favor;

the United States OF those nation.

WHY DO THEY TRY TO SUPPRESS IT?
Conklin's Dakotian: The gold
barons, opponents of the free coin
age of silver, selected the ablest
advocate they had and challenged
Harvey, the author of Coins
Financial School" to debate the
truth or falsity of the statements
contained in that book. Harvey
promptly accepted the challenge
and the debate was held, and pub
lished in full, and with the book
is a certificate signed by both
Harvey and Horr that it is cor
rect report of every word uttered
by either speaker during the de-
bate. The anti-silver interests
had denounced the book entitled
"Coin's Financial School," as,
Coins Financial Fool" and Mr..
Horr was to rend it into fragments
and walk all over Mr.. Harvey,
But now that the debate has beer
held and the book published the
gold advocates are doing all they
can to prevent its sale. The
Western News Company agreed

A GOLD MONEY HELPS ENGLISH
IISIIISEKS.

USURERS.
England has no silver mines
within any of her territory. AT
least none of working import
ance. Her capitalists own more
than half of the gold-bearing
properties of the world. They
are steadily buying gold mines,
large and small, in this and other
countries. Thus the production
OF gold falls more and more into
English hands, and so long as
that country can dictate what
people of other countries shall use
for the settlement of their home
debts one to another, just so long
will England dictate for the en-
richment of her own capitalists
who form the governing power of
England.
Suppose England raised all the
mules produced in the world and
could get all other countries to
enter into an agreement that
horses should not be used in other
countries for army purposes or fol
public works. And farther, that
mules must be used. Our people
would not long sanction anything

SO monstrously absurd, and yet
they do an equally foolish thing
when they say that they will not
create their own legal tender for
home use, from whatever they
wish to use, be it of this power or
this property. This would give
them gold in exchange for what
they sell only for gold, aud they
would soon be in the position of
France, with gold to sell or to
loan without creating a money
panic at home and cinching them
selves for the benefit of their
enemies.---Pomeroy's Advance e

Horr and Harvey debate thus sur
pressed?
We are able to answer the ques-
ton but were not until we called
at Mr.. Harvev's rooms in Fort
Dearborn Block, Chicago, and
procured copy of the debate and
read it, Then we found that the
synopsis sent but to the press,
and which we published in full,
was garbled and colored by the
reporters in the interest of the
gold advocates until it bore but
little relation to the true debate.
The truth is that Mr.. Horr, who
came with blare of trumpets. who
boasted chat he was to annihilate
Harvey and his financial school,
was not Sin it. at all at any time.
He was defeated, nay more, rout-
ed at every point. Harvey walk
ed all over him and tnopped the
'arth with him, sustaining and
verifying every statement made
in his book. Hence the goldites
don't want the debate to be read.
Hence they have made it to the

mated the profits of its sale on his
part to the silver cause, to not
put it on the market. Just what
course Mr.. Harvey and the friends
of free silver will take to place

the people remains to be seen.
Something should be done and
done at once.
The sale of "Coin's Financial
School" and of the Horr and Har-
vey debate and other free silver
documents are forbidden on all
eastern and most other railroads.
This is a high handed and auda.
eious outrage that should be de-
nounced by every honest and
patriotic American citizen, and il
is evidence, if they were wanting
