From the Iron Chan

DALLAS, TEXAS, Sept. 20.-1n a
speech here Governor Culberson read
the following significant correspon-
dence between himself and Prince
Bismarck on the question:
'PRINCE BIsMARCK-Sir: The
great question Of finance is now of
supreme intrest to the people of the
United States. 1t is presented in
various forms, but in ageneral ways,
it may be said to be, first whether
the United States shall adopt the
single gold standard; or, second,
whether they shall adopt bimetallism
with both gold and silver as the
standard or primary money. The
argument in favor of each is well
known to you, but it is particularly
insisted that we should adopt the
policy of bimetallism because the
supply of gold in the world for coin
age is sufficient to meet the demand,
and because such a standard will still
further depress the value of all
property.
(which, in your judgment is the
best policy to adopt, the gold stand
ard or bimetallism giving yours
reasons2
.What effect, in your judgment,
will the immediate adoption Of BIZ
metallism by the United States have
on the cause of bimetallism in Ger
many and other great commercial
nationss

THE Signal is laboring to convince
it's readers that there has been no
contraction of the currency and that
the people have money enough.
If the editors of the Signal will get
a Tribune Almanac for 1896, and
turn to the top of page 1855 they will
find the statement that gold and sill
yer coins and certificates, United
States notes and National Bank notes
in circulation Sept. 1, 1894, was ST.

lation October /, 1895, was $685.

Der /, 1894. This is a sufficient falling
off to help make times hard. There

Condensed Testimony.

Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manu-
facturer's Agent, Columbus, Ohio,
certifies that DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry has no equal as a Cough remedy.
j. d. Brown, prop. st. James Hotel,
Ft. Wayne, Ind, testifies that he
was cured of a Cough of two years
standing, caused by LaGrippe, by
DR.. Kings New Discovery. B. F.
Merrill, Baldwinsville, Mass, says
that he has used and recommended
it and never knew it to fail and
would rather have it than any doctor,
because it always cures. Mrs. Hem
ming, 222 E. 25th St., Chicago, always
keeps it at hand and has no fear of
Group, because it relieves Free
Trials Bottles at D. ]. Humphreys

Col. GEO. G. GoRHAM, who was
Secretary of the Senate in 1878, when
the act demonetizing silver dollars
was passed by Congress-, has written
a letter in which he proves by the re-
cords that John Sherman made two
attempts to degrade silver before he
accomplished it and alleges that the
deed was only accomplished by the
deception practiced on the House by
Congressman William Hooper, of
Massachusetts, and on the Senate by
Senator John Sherman. Col. Gorhan
says, "the men who did this work
did it furtively and fraudulently, be-
cause they knew that II submitted
either to the people or to Congress
its Overwhelming defeat would have
been insured" Col. Gorham has
been q Republican ever since the
party was organized and has always
been high In its councils.

1T is degrading in the extreme to
see those men holding government
positions in Toledo crawling on their
bellies after the gold band-wagon
driven by that old fossil Palmer, in
sheer fear that if they do otherwise
they will have their political heads
chopped of. These fellows had bet
ter resign their positions and retain
their manhood than to retain them
at the sacrifice of their manhood.

tary Smith, who had the backbone

What IngersOIl Said.

From lecture "About Farming in
Illinois," by Robert g. Ingersoll, we
clip the following:
For my part, I do not ask any in
reference on the part of the govern
ment except to undo the wrong it has
done. | do not ask that money be
made out of nothing. do not ask
for the prosperity born of paper.
But | do ask for the reconciliation
of silver. Silver was demonetized by
fraud. 1t was an imposition upon
every solvent man; fraud upon
every honest debtor in the United
States. 1t assassinated labor. 1t was
done in the interest [of Ayarice and
greed and should be undone by hon
est men,

Mr.. MCKINLEY says stick to the gold

of the leading foreign nations to

Mr.. Bryan says, open the mints and
set them to coming both gold and
silver as money on perfect equality,
and the mines and factories will open

workingmen and business men will

HUMBUG arguments are plentiful
on the gold side of this campaign,
but that which says the big capita
lists will reap all the benefit of the
free coinage of silver, at the expense
of the dear people," is about the
worst of them all. When did any
body ever know the big capitalists
to unite in opposing anything out
of which they could make money? To
a man they are all opposing the free
coinage of silver.

Doubtless, had England, Germany,
Italy, Russia, Austria, Hungary, Ire
land, Sweden, Scotland and Norway
as much money per head for their
population as France has for her pop
ulation, the immigration into the

than it is; but why should not the
people of the United States have as
much money per head as the people
of France have? Is there any reason
why they should not have?
