Washington, July IA. 4.-Hon. Charles S.

thing to say as to the recent Chicago
convention, replied, "No political issue
is involved in the coming election. The
question to be decided is far deeper and
more vital. The perpetuity of Republi-

Every loyal citizen should array himself
against the forces which controlled the
Chicago convention. The forces of law
lessness are inconsistent with the main
tenanoe Of the republic. 3
"Henceforth there should be no Repub-
lican, no Democrat, but union of loyal
citizens against the combined forces of
repudiation and disorder. When once this
dangerous element has been stamped out
at the polls by an indignant people, we
can divide and discuss this political

Ex-Secretary Fairchild Thinks it Will Do
Silver.
Spokane, WASH, July 1.-Hon. Charles
S. Fairchild, secretary Of the treasury
under President Cleveland during his
first administration, is in this city. and
was seen by United Press reporter to-
day. When asked for his views on the
financial situation and planks of the two
platforms. he said: "There is missap-
prshension on the part Of the people of
the true functions of money. They seem
to believe the government can regulate
the whole matter, which is not the case
1t is said that the FREQ coinage of silver
would make a larger circulating medium
and as result there would be rise of
prices and increase in prosperity. I do
not hold thet this would bs the case
The circulating medium is not the
amount of money but the credits. In
this respect. confidence in one aids in ex-
tending the circulating medium.
Few, indeed, are the transactions
ACTUALLY made by the use of money, in all
large dealings, passage of credits, or
setGlemonG OF balances. L even consider
that gold is too cumbersome TO bs used
in transactions.
'sDo you believe by free coinage there
wodld be an advance In prioesS"
81 am not sure but that this would be
the result. You charge more for an
article in poor money than you do in
good, and you would get larger prices for
products in the same ratio that silver
money is poorer than gold. Those who
have debts to pay, antedating the intro
duction of silver would to the extent
they could pay III cheaper money be bene-
fitted. This is q very small class indeed.
What we want is money good anywhere
and on which is based large credits. /"

what a Labor Agitator Thinks,

GAINESVILLE, Ohio. July 14.-John Mo
Grath, who is the organizer for the
American Federation of Labor for the
Southern district of Ohio. talked freely
yesterday of the political outlook. i.
He says: 81 find 16 to l laboring men
who are thoroughly dissatisfied with the
Democrats and Republicans, and who
will vote the Democratic ticket this fall
simply because they regard the situation
so changed that it is the masses against
capital. There are 49, 900 Populists in this
state, and unless am badly mistaken,
they will all vote for Byran. When the
Mckinley managers claim that he has an
easy victory in this state, I am sure they
do not realize the strength of silver
among the working people. Ohio viii be
O good fighting ground.''

today, advising all Populists to ratify

convention at ST. Louis, July %. In the
course of his address, he says: 1.-THE
truth of it is, the only point the Popu-
lists have to decide is whether they
will take Bryan, whom every gold bug
in the country has denounced as Popu-
list for our next President.of the United
States, or whether they will take Mr..
Mckinley, who represents everything tina,
the Populists have denounced, and just
the opposite of verything they have ad-
yocated since they been a party.

National executive committee. Manley,
tonight said: Mckinley is as sure Of

and that was practically settled long be-
fore the convention at St. Louis. I have
no fears whatever as to the future success
of the party. The cry of silver is confined
to the West. and those states are the only
doubtful states"
How will Sewall 'scandidacy affect the
