A Prominent Old Republican Changes.


Among the notable republicans who
are out for silver is one whose advocacy
of the white metal is of peculiar in
tcrest throughout the country. Gen.
William Birney, a lifelong aboli-
zionist and republican, and gallant
soldier in the union army, has adj
dressed letter to the democratic ma
tional committee, announcing his adj
herence to the free-silver cause. Gen.
Birney is the son Of James e. Biz
ney, who was twice the candidate
of the abolitionist party for president
Of the United States. In the letter
which he has addressed to Chairman
Campau, of the national democratic
campaign committee, he says:
From the origin Of the republican
party up to the adoption of its plat
form, last June, at ST. Louis, / have
shared it's principles, rejoiced in it's sue
cesses and sorrowed in it's defeats;
hut upon the financial plank of that
platform | cannot stand The logic
of my antecedents does not place me
side by side with Grover Cleveland and
John G. Carlisle.
''F believe in honest bimetallism, as
it existed before 1878, and that the
United States ought to lead off in the
return to it, Of all the nations that de-
monetized silver, we are the most popu'
lous and the most free from interna'
tional ENHANCEMENT. We have more
territory than continental Europe, ano
our domestic commerce is 10 times as
much as our foreign commerce. Our
duty and interest is to legislate for ou1
people and territory first and for Euro
pean interest afterward, if at all.
"The ST. Louis platform recommends
that the United States shall wait foI
European action and shall maintain
the gold standard Monometallism
even as a temporary expedient, strikes
me as a blunder. The maintenance
of the gold standard is the maintenance
of a dollar which is constantly rising
in value. It means falling prices, ruin
of farmers, hard times, black Fridays,
the rule of the banking syndicates,
the repeated issue of government bonds
for loans and the continued use of the
| endless chain.''

Chicago, Oct. 15.-(Special)-Re
OF intimidation of employees by railroad
corporations and large manufacturing
concerns continue to come to national
democratic headquarters. The national
democratic managers to-day received
evidence that the officials of the Wabash
railroad were issuing orders to their
employees that they must pledge them
selves to vote for Mckinley or lose their
jobs. a copy Of a circular letter signed
by the master mechanic of the Wabash
railroad shops at Springfield, Ills, con-
tains the aninus OF the railroad cor
porations. This circular letter gives
notice to the employees of that railroad
company, at Springfield, that they must
at once join Mckinley clubs. A copy OF
the letter is in the hands of a member
of the democratic state central commit
tee, and will be printed in all free silver
papers throughout the country.
The Louisville q Nashville Railroad
company is also engaged in the bust
ness of intimidation. This company
has issued upon stationary which has
always been used by the company, q
blank application for membership in
railroad mems 'sound money" clubs.
The blank application is printed on vel
low paper, and has over the right hand

A Series of Falsehoods.


Recently the Hanna bureau issued a
bulletin claiming that the national
democratic managers had abandoned
the attempt to elect Mr.. Bryan and
would devote the rest of the campaign
to the election of legislatures in states
where United States senators are to be
chosen. When Chairman Jones atten-
ton was called to the bulletin he said:
at is only one of the series of false
hoods the republicans have spread in
order to bolster up their lost cause
There is not syllable of truth in the
assertion that we have abandoned Bryan
or that we intend doing so. Mr.. Bryan
is already elected, from now on it s
only question of majority. We not
only intend to elect Mr.. Bryan, but we
are sure to carry enough legislatures to
increase the free silver majority in the
United States senate.
''Tn this connection I desire to warn
the public against any statements ap-
pearing from this time on in the gold
bug press concerning the campaign. 1t
seems to be the programme from this
on to make statements concerning the
democratic campaign, its managers and
candidates which are intended to de-
ceive the public. One day they have Mr..
Bryan sick, another day they have the
national democratic headquarters
closed; one day we are bankrupt and
the next day we have barrels of money.
The next thing they will be saying that
Mr.. Bryan is dead. / want to warn the
public to put no stock in or believe any
thing they say in the goldbug papers
during the remainder of the campaign.
The State of Iowa.
The republican managers have be-
come so badly frightened over Iowa
that they have not only been compelled
within the past three days to place
several hundred thousands of dollars in
that state, but have also been com
PEELED to resort to the usual Mckinley
subterfuge of claiming everything. A
republican morning newspaper having
a mortgage of $11S,000 on Maj. McKin-
lev has found it necessary to send its
most versatile correspondent into that
state for the purpose of manufacturing
q Mckinley majority out of an adverse
majority OF f.UUU. II is hHOWlt JOSIIINS-
Is at national democratic headquarters
that the last republican poll of Iowa
gave that state to Bryan by 1000 ma
jority. This explains the solicitude for
Iowa. Secretary Walsh, of the national
committee, has in his possession a com
plete poll of that state, completed with
IN the past week. 1t shows that Bryan
will carry Iowa by a majority of not less
than $4,000, and it may exceed $4,000.
The poll shows republican detection
for Bryan in every county in the state.
This detection runs from so to 1000 in
every county in the state. The banner
republican counties in the state are
those most seriously affected, and they
will go fer Bryan. The republican poll
comedies 10000 republicans to Bryan;
the democratic poll shows $4,000 repll5-
licans in the state as being for Bryan.
What is more. republicans are coming
ever every day in every county, while

The Cincinnati Enquirer in replying to
the question as to "What is the actual
amount OF all kinds Of money in active
circulation in the United States? In
other words. what per cent of the
81 ,655 ,03S .9S2, the total of all kinds Of
money in the United States, is held as
reserve funds by savings banks, national
banks, private banks, trust companies
and the Government, as near as you can
get at it," says:
This is very difficult question and ore
almost impossible toanswer satisfactorily.
One thing almost certain, however, is that
the treasury estimates are ridculously
high. We quote the following from
Handbook on Currency and Wealth"
by George B. Waldron:
"The figures OF the treasury as to ci Gu.
laton have been frequently questioned.
In u speech delivered at Fayette, Mo-,
October ~, 1895, Senator George q. Vest
made an analysis of the figures for 1898,
which, according to Government reports,
show total circulation outside the treas.
ury of $l,596, 70l, 245 in money of all
kinds, or an average Of $3.50 per capita.

than the official figures. lie next de.

savings, private banks and loan and trust
companies on July II, 1893, he estimates
reserves amounting to 10 per cent, or

$SS5,o00,00O. leaving S57S,245,C67. lie
further estimates that $3.50, 100000 in
gold has been lost since 1878, of which
the treasury officials have made no
account. This leaves 1923 ,245 O67. Other
deductions are $4,000 900 for lost silver

NO CONTRACTION.

The New York sun, one OF the strong
est opponents of free coinage Of both
gold and silver, does not believe such
coinage will drive gold out OF the country,
and gives it reasons rs follows:
ITO those, too, who in 1885 also laid
the blame for the dizziness of trade upon
the coinage of silver, We answered that ii
a stimulus to trade was all that vas de-
sired, the way to obtain it was rather by
increasing the volume oi currency 10y the
addition OF silver than hy adhering ex-
clusvely to gold. 1t was true then, as it
is true now, that the first effort OF un.
limited silver coinage would be to stmu.
late speculation and make trade for
time exceedingly lively. People who
had money would seek to exchange it for
goods, in order to avoid the loss conse-
Quent upon the establishment OF the
silver standard, and, until prices found
their level in silver. we should have
rising market and buyers would profit
accordingly. The idea has been pro-
mulgated, and we regret to see, has been
adopted by Mr.. Mckinley, that the first
effect OF unlimited silver coinage would
be to cause contraction OF the currency
by driving out OF the country the
$500 100000 We now have. This is a
deluson. No such sum in gold as $780,
100000 could be obtained here for ex-
port. California and other Pacific states
may, possibly. have in circulation $685..
100000, and that they would keep. The
banks, national and state, and the United
States treasury have, perhaps, altogether,
$3.50 100000 more, and that they, too,
would keep; or, if they sold it, they
would sell it for double its nominal
amount in silver, and the banks would
make the silver the basis of loans.
Whatever gold there is, besides this, is
boarded away and unavailable. In short,
flee silver means imitation, pure and
simple, will, all its consequences.
In this respect it differs with Mr.. Nc
kinley, and regrets that he advocates
the theory that the first effect of such
coinage will be contraction. All the.
argument that the Sun can bring is that
it will he an imitation OF the currency.
Can there be any such thing as an in.
flation by the addition OF money having
intrinsic value? The proposition is
absurd. According to the Sun, then,
the only danger is that those who have
money will not be able to buy as much
property with it as they can now; and
with cold blooded Indifference to the great
majority who have property, it prefers to
labor for the few who have the cash, or
its equivalent. Justice demands that ALL
be treated eouitublv.
