One o1 the Nest Picturesque Men In

Richard Park Bland, wh-5e presi-

souri, silveri:es. is one of the most
picturesque men in American political
life. He has been called Silver Dick"
Silver Dollar Bland" "One-idead
Bland" 'Bullionaire Bland" and
other sobriQuets indicative of
the interest he has taken in
money matters and coin.
Mr.. Bland was born in IS near Hart
ford. KY. in 1.-The Green River country"
When about 20 years old Bland went
to Missouri. lived in that state five
years and then went to California and
later to Utah. He practiced law among
the miners and had ample opportunity
to study the mineral interests and the
relative output of silver and gold. In
1865 he returned to Missouri and set
tied in Rolla, Phelps county. In 1869
he removed to Lebanon, which is his
present home. He was first elected to
congress in 1872. He took his seat
the following year after the demoneti-
cation Of silver. AS early as 1877 Bland
began to fight for free coinage. He
was in congress for twenty-five years,
and his most noted measure was bill
providing for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver. restoring 412h grains

himself with that congregation. He
then commenced the close and intense
study of the Bible, which has resulted
in his extraordinary requirements in
that particular.
Mr.. Hicks claims, and can satisfy
any one of the truthfulness of his ALE
cations, that he can repeat absolutely
every chapter of the New Testament,
and all of the Old Testament with the
exception or the Psalms. He can begin
at the first chapter and 60 through with
every one Of the books, in correct con-
secutive order, or can commence at the
last chapter and repeat them back
wards without missing single SEN
tence, skipping the Psalms, or he can
commence in the middle of the book
and 60 either way. He is willing at
all times to give exhibitions Of his
capabilities in this line, and has been
put to the lest so often that he has

TAKING No CHANCES.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mr.. II. V. Powderly congresses one piv-
otal consideration into very few words
when he closes mis- cogent argument foi
voting for Mckinley as follows: ANY
way, | am taking no chances and viii
vote for Mckinley
Mr.. Powderly is able to recollect that 4
majority of the nation was induced tC
take chances four years ago. one of the
methods used to induce it to take the
chances was the overflowing promise OF
prosperity made by Mr. Bryan If they
would put the free trade Democracy in
power, Mr.. Bryan, as one of the chief
advocates of the Democratic party, used
both in congress and on the stump the
same method of attacking capital and Ell
terprisc that he is now using. The only
difference was that his arguments were a
little less sophistical then than now, and
appealed less plainly to prejudice and pass
ion. The people have experienced three
years of the results of taking chances
on the strength of his promise. Do they
want to take any more chances on the
same foundation?
Mr.. Powderly says that he, for one
does not. We think that the sound sense
of the American people will agree with
him that the certaint.eS of the system thar
prevailed from 1873 to 1898 are much better
than the chances held out by Mr.. Bryans
cheap and shallow promises.

From the Farmers Standpoint.

One of the clearest statements that we
have seen of the real meaning of free
silver to the farmer is made in the
Rochester Post-EXpress by Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
He says:
The wage earrers of the United
States. whether employed in the factory
or on the farm, would suffer more sa-
vercly from the free coinage of silver
than any other class in the community.
They might receive the same number
of dollars that they do now. but the
value Of those dollars would be cut
in halves by the reduction of their pur-
chasing power. The wage earners, the
men who are paid at the end of each
day, or each week, or each month, are
the great creditor class in the country
and it Is upon them that the free coin
age of silver would fall with the great
est severity.
THE farmers are the class to whom
the free silver advocates appeal nest
farm products will rise with free silver
This is no doubt true, but they do not
tell them that the price OF everything
they have to buy would also rise, so
that they would be no better off than
they were before. On the other hand
farmers would be injured directly in
other ways, apart from the question of
the price of what they sell and buy
Any farmer who had laid up money i'm
the savings bank or elsewhere would
have it cut in two. If he happened to be
soldier and drawing a pension, he
would lose one half his pension. If he
has insured his life for the benefit Of his
family he has paid his premium in
gold, but under free silver coinage the
insurance would be paid in silver and
reduced one half in value.
But there is broader view to be
taken than this. and one which every
Intelligent farmer ought to take. The
farmers are part of the great COM
munity which we call the people of the
United States. One portion of the pop
ulation cannot prosper if all the rest
suffer. The farmer will not make
money if the people who buy their pro-
ducts are injured and ruined by bad
financial policy. The election of Bryan
would mean the most terrible panic
that this country has ever seen. 1t
would mean the wholesale reduction of
wages and the temporary or permanent
destruction of many industries. The
great wage earning and business
classes on whom this disaster would
chiefly fall are those who buy of the
farmer and make his prosperity. and
when they suffer he will suffer, too.
