SPRINGFIELD, o., Sept. 3.--Part of the Nc
Kinley program was to flood the country with
Mexican silver dollars, and certain interested
merchants and manufacturers in Chicago, Gin
cinnati and elsewhere had already become "ed-
ucated" by offering to give so cents worth of
ware and a Mexican dollar for dollar of Unit
ed States money 1t was generally supposed
that even Congressman Crowther was going to
use one of these coins in his speeches, for he,
too, is great educator" in matters of finance.
Senior Moses Huamay, an influential Mexican,
connected with of the largest commercial
houses in his country, while here the other day,
showed prominent manufacturer letter re-
ceived by him from the director of the minis of
the republic of Mexico The letter says:
81 thank you for the specimens of so-called
Mexican dollars which you state are being put
i'll circulation in the United States. You are
right in believing that the dies for the coins
have been recently changed, if the specimens
you send are genuine. Without hesitation,
pronounce them counterfets. The genuine
coin has 100 mill marks upon the edge, while
the specimens you send have but 100 That
may appear a tedious way of detecting the
spurious from the genuine dollar, but it is un-
failing. The execution and position of the
eagle upon the face of the spurious also differs
from the genuine. Our government is now en-
gagged in determining w!ere and by whom these
counterfeits were issued"
Senior Huamay states that the machinery for
the production'of these spurious Mexican dol
lars was procured i'll England, and that the
reached America by vessel, and
were landed in Florida. They we're then pur-
chased by the political managers, who are using
them for campaign purposes. He states that
Mexico needs all the genuine silver dollars she

Ratio In the Bible.

70 the Editor Of III st I.'ui. Kepublc
ANDING, Miss, Sept. 3-I have bit of III
formation that may be of service to you in pros
ecuting the great work you doing on behalf
of Democracy and humanity.
1t is with a feeling of profound pleasure and
satisfaction that | note your stand with refer
ence to the Chicago ticket and platform 1t is
likewise on the other hand painful to me to no.
tce prominent ministers of the gospel taking
sides with the single gold standard people in
this battle of humanity against its oppressors
| desire that you may editorlally express q
righteous surprise at the ignorance of such
ministers on matters pertaining to the Bible
The information l wish to give you was impart-
ed to be by Baptist preacher, a stanch free
siverte, who has little book called "Bible
Readers Pocket Dictionary" Many preachers
carry the same book. In this little book the
value of gold talent of old Jewish money is
given as SIC, $50, and the value of a silver tai
ent at 81 ,542. 50. Now perform the division for
yourself and see if you do not obtain the ratio
of 10 to I exactly, no fraction If this inform
alton is worth anything to you, or if you can
turn this into an argument and thereby reclaim
some perverted minister of the gospel, you have
my best wishes. Just in this connection l was
forcibly impressed by a remark of Candidate
Bryan few days ago in Western New York, in
which he proved that those preachers, and only
those who were after the dollars and cents, had
right to be gold-bugs. His argument was
shaped something like this: "The operation
of the sinole gold standard produces hard
times; hard times produce crime; crime pro-
duces a demand for more preachers to over
come and battle against the powers of dark
ness consequently, the gold standard produces
all increased demand for preachers, and if the
preacher has uppermost in his mind the loaves
and fishes, he should favor the single gold
standard T. NJ. KELLY.

THE LITTLE BOYS "HOLLERED."
Republican s.Entll usiasMl."

The other day two little Garrett boys were
talking about the caps they wore. One wore
Mckinley and Hobart cap, and the other wore
a Bryan & Watson cap. The boy with the
Mckinley cap asked the other boy
"What did your cap cost I"
The Bryan boy gave him the price, when the
Mckinley boy said:
"My cap didn't cost Inc anything
CLOVIS that ?" asked the Bryan boy.
"Why, got mine for holerin' at the Bur
ton meeting. There was whole lot of us
boys got caps for hollerin."
"Holerin' Why, when did you holler ?"
asked the Bryan boy.
"Why, when the man was speakin' of
course" replied the Mckinley boy.
"How'd you know when to holler ?" asked
the Bryan boy
ooh, Henry Earnest was with us, and he
gave us the signal when to holler."
ooh ~ replied the Bryan boy.
And these are the facts in the case. The
"great enthusiasm" displayed was by the little
boys who got their caps, free, for ''hollern."

"COIN" HARVEY GOT HIS GOLD.

w. H. Harvey, the author of "Con's Finan-
cial School, went to the Metropolitan National
Bank of Chicago, the other day, and drew out
81, 800 which he had deposited there. He de-
manded gold, but the paying teller said the
bank wasn't paying out gold. Harvey insist
ed, however, but it did 10 good until he got
written order from the cashier. 1t took Harvey
an hour to induce the bankers to hand over the
gold. When the cashier asked him why he
wanted gold Harvey said he wanted to use it
as an "object lesson" in series of speeches he
intended to make. He promised to return the
gold before election
Harvey took his gold to the First National
Bank and had it locked up in his strong box in
the safety department.

COULDN'T BULLDOZE HIM.

Conway Marshall, a real estate and insurance
agent of this city, the other day received let
ter and pamphlet from the Underwriters In
surance Co. which raised his ire The pamph-
let undertook to show up the "beauties' of the
gold Standard and the letter called attention to
the pamphlet, and asked Conway to distribute
from three to five hundred of pamphlets per
month.
Mr.. Marshall couldn't let such an insult go
unheeded, so he wrote the company that he
had received their communications that he
would read their pamphlet, and then burn it;
that he would not distribute their pamphlets;
that if they were not satisfied with the work he
is doing here, they could send man here, i'm
mediately, and take up their supplies, as he
doesn't have to write up insurance policies for
them in order to make living.
If the insurance companies take Conway
Marshall for chump, they're left.
In the pamphlet received is warning to pol
icy-holders that if free silver wins in the coming
election, po1icy-holders, in case of loss by fire,
will be obliged to accept fifty cents on the dol
lar in payment of the losses. Did any one
ever know OF an insurance company paying
loss that it was not compelled to pay? Is it
not fact that if an insurance company lnag-
ines it sees loop-hole by which it can get out
of paying loss, it takes advantage of that
loop-hole? o, how fearful they that they
will get chance to pay out at fifty cents on
the dollar! Every person with thimbleful of
brains knows that if these companies had an
idea that free silver would enable them to pay
their losses at fifty cents on the dollar, they
would be bowling for free silver. And the
same may be said of railroad companies and
other corporations which are so fearful lest they
be enabled to pay their employees at fifty cents
on the dollar.
But you can't fool all of the people all the
time. The people are thinking.

StudebaIxers' Gold Employees.

CHICAGO, LIZ, Aug. 7th.-(Special. For
many years the Studebaker Bros. carriage man
ufacturers at South Bend, Ind, have refused to
employ members OF the Carriage and Wagon
makers Union. For that reason the latter ex-
presses great indignation over statement in
morning paper that the employees of the COM
pany are intelligent" workmen, because they
believe III the gold standard According to the
officers OF the union, nearly every emp'oye at
South Bend was brought over from Poland for
the purpose of assisting the company in rtduc-
Ing wages. 1t Is further sad that no Germans;
Irish, Englishmen even American citizens
can secure employment of Studebaker Bros,
because they will not work for starvation wages.
The following letter, which will appear in
Chicago paper, gives the feeling prevalent
among working men
CHICAGO, Aug. 6, 1896.
"To the Editor think the workingmen
of America will resent the insult cast at them

terday 1t said, under the heading, 'Intelli-
gent Workmen OF South Bend THE en-
poyes of Studebaker Bros. took secret vote,
and the result was GO per cent favored the gold
standard

lived i'll South Bend for a number OF years, aud

Out of the 1903 men employed, rs per cent.
are Poles that can neither read nor Wi the
English language, and very few eau speak our
language. The average wages these men get
is IS cents to $I.o5 day. Most of these men
are married and have large families and as a re-
suit of Studebaksrs' starvation wages, these
families are very often in need of the neces-
saries of life.
"I have seen the wives of the men carry
their dead babies in their arms two miles out to
Notre Name college and beg the college au-
thorities to bury tkem, because they have no
money to do it themselves These are the peo-
pie the Tribune says can take an intelligent vote
on the money question; but |, as an American,
thank God that these poor slaves of the Stude-
bakers are not representatives. of the American
workngmen The Tribune will find out that
we are capable of thinking for ourselves and
acting for ourselves when the time comes
"Yours, sincerely,
"a CHICAGO WORKINGMAN."
The further claim is made that only about Is
per cent. of Studebaker Bros employees are le-
gal voters. Reform Press, Pueblo, Colo.

his threat was boomerang. He wriggles out
of it by declaring that the free silver sentiment

TRADE REVIEW.
Business Much Retarded by Dilatory

r.. q. Dun 4 Co.'s weekly review OF trade
says:
The week has been marked by improve

Of some products have risen. but only be-
cause supplies are believed to be smaller
than was expected. The senate still Injuries

cannot expect to gain in gold as yet. but

assumed that the new loan will be placed
without difficulty. though the successive
payments may cause continued disturbance
A dergs of foreign reports favorable to
wheat speculation found ready answer in an
advance Of over cents here, I'm spite of
western receipts being 20 per cent. larger
than last year. Atlantic exports for the

for the first time in several months but for
the crop year TO date all exports have been
about / COO 900 bushels smaller than last
year. The market has the idea that foreign
demands hereafter must be- much greater be-
cause Of deficient supplies elsewhere. but no
