OPENS HIS MOUTH.
George Fred Williams Tells How He Was
Made Silver Shouter.

Lawrence, Mass, July 1S.-An editorial
will appear in The Lawrence Sunday
Sun, tomorrow, aligned by George Fred
Williams, in which he gives some of
the reasons that led him to the advocacy
of free coinage of silver by the United
States at ratio of is to /. In the first
place, hessays, our present money system
is failure. 1t brought US, Ill 1883, to a
psTic. Prices have fallen faster in the
last three years than ever before. Gold.
which is our greatest necessity in this
emergency, is leaving the country by a
constant drain upon the treasury and 1t
is clear that the gold standard is under
such terrible strain that another panic
may result, which will involve the fail
ure Of the gold standard, and we shall
then arrive at d silver standard whether
the present situation and it ia difficult
to see how q system which is topping
under the administration can be ex-
pected to stand and be strengthened un-
der such man as Mckinley. No man
can say exactly what will be the result
of she free coinage of silver, as the prob
lem Is new one, but it seams to him

he has confidence that there would be 10
permanent premium on gold by reason
of it. But even If the silver dollar should
be at some discount this process of seal
ing debts would be much healthier than
the bankruptcy of the whole country
under the present system.
Mr.. Williams expresses himself as dis
appointed and shocked by the violence
which charaoterizes the words Of those
who support the gold standard and says
their talk is the most abusive known
since theswar. Nevertheless, /" he says.
1--WE must go on with tie argument and
may eventually arouse the business men
of the East to realizing sense that ID
is false monetary system that is running
them.''
He is confident that the time will come
when all the industrial interests Of New
England will be grateful to him for the
stand he has taken. He Is willing to risk
his opinion against the gold standard
mems opinion that the return of pros
perity will not only be apparent, but
real; not only temporary, but perma-
nent. Business men are beginning to
listen. 1t is only those who are ignorant
of the question who are bandying
abusive words. We want campaign
of reason. Let anarchy and revolution

DON CAMERON FOR M'KlNLEX.
Believes in Silver But Can't Train with
the Chicago Crowd.

Pitusburg, Pa, July 1s.-The Harris
burg correspondent of the Leader has in
terviewed Senator j. Donald Cameron on
the silver question and wires his paper
in part as follows: sSenator Cameron,
Pennsylvania's persistent champion Of
the free silver cause, has announced be
will vote for the Republican ticket this
fall and proposes to assist the campaign
of Mckinley and Hobart. If the Denloc-
raoy at Chicago had declared only that
they were favorable to the cause of the
free coinage of silver looking to the up
lifting of that metal from its position Of
token money to basis of coinage, it is
a question whether or not Senator Cam
eron would have declared his preference
for the ticket nominated at Chicago, but
when the radical champions of silver, in
their eagsrness, swept past the mark and
embraced all the doctrines of populism
and latent socialism of the country, Sem
ator Cameron was shut out. -

by Mr.. Myron Robinson, between North
and West Auburn, including house and
barn, was burned to the ground with
nearly all It's contents early Saturday
morning.
The chimney had burned out day or
two before and it is supposed the snould-

cause. Mr.. Robinson has q family of
small children, some OF whom occupied
the chamber. They discovered the fire
and came down and informed their par
ents who were not disposed TO believe it
until they investigated, when they gave
the alarm to the sleeping neighborhood

Mr. Robinson saved his horse from the
barn and a bed or two was saved but
clothing and furniture were all de-
stroyed.

the demoralizing effect upon the public

A select committee of the House of
commons which has long been consid-
eIlng certain proposed restrictions of the
oleomargasine trade, has presented its
report. Ii recommends that the eoloring
OF butter or otherwise, be prohibited and
that the selling of mixed oleomargarine
and butter be held Illegal, even If sold
aa mixture. There are other restrio-
lions anent registration of dealers In
oleomargarine, labelling packing, etc.
The committee was composed mainly
OF agricultural members who carried out
the ideas OF the Central Chamber of
Agriculture for fostering the English
dairy trade. The American oleomarga-
rine exporter will doubtless be able to
accommodate himself to the new condit-
ions somehow.

1t. Mr. Sewal1 however has not the
confidence of the Populists that Bryan
has. His nomination for Vice-President
was an expedient and a trucking to the
baser side of politics. Leaving the ques-

that he was nominated also to give the
