Given Away to Gold and Silver Sup
porters in Kansas City.

Kansas City. Oct 23.-Two thousand
dollars worth of flags Will have been
distributed in Kansas City by night
and at least 10000 persons viii each be
IN possession Of the stars and stripes.
Five thousand flags were distributed
at Republican headquarters yesterday
and $4,000 more have been ordered for
distribution today. These flags are
Iree to anyone who is willing to enroll
himself as a member of the Sound
Money league" Of Kansas City. Each
recipient of a flag signs his name, with
address and native state, at the bot
tom of slip upon which is printed the
constitution of the Sound Money
league The preamble to the consti-
tuition is such that either a Democrat
or a Republican may sign it, and carry
away flag. 1t reads as fOlloWs.:
Believing in sound money, the pres
ervation of law and order and the
maintenance of an untarnished national
honor. and therefore opposed to any
and all efforts or movements to debase
our currency; to strike down a govern
ment of law, coura geously enforced
and impartially administered, and to
institute reign of reputation, public
and private. we do unite ourselves into
the Sound Money league of Kansas
City, Mo-
When this is signed the committee
calls it a receipt a pile of receipts
nearly as tall as a man is stacked up
at headquarters. The flags that viii
be carried by privates in the parade are
to be S by Il inches. The officers viii
carry flags 51a feet long. Most of the
flags distributed so far are q inches
long. Some are So. some 43 and some
so inches long.
In all $4,000 or 10000 will be distrib-
uted from Democratic headquarters,
Eighth and Walnut.
The first flags distributed by the Re
pUblicans had sound money printed
across them. The United States mar
shall stopped this. 1t is in violation
of the United States law to have any
thing printed upon United States flag
1t is permissible. however, to attach
any name or motto to the flag, and this
is being done to some extent
Many have bought flags for residence
decoration. and over the entrances to
hundreds of homes they are to be seen
Most of the flags sent out bear no
motto and are appropriate to the Dem
ocrat and Republican alike.
The flag is playing such an import
ant part in this campaign that there
is no sale or demand for political ban
ners.'' said a Main street dealer in cleo
ton trappings this morning. I'VE have
anticipated a big demand for banners
facturers had made extensive arrange
ments in anticipation. They went
ahead and made hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth of devices. When the
time came for putting the product on
the market there was no demand for it,
and the result has been that the mar
kets of the east are loaded up with
banners, streamers. etc, which are not
worth ten cents on the dollar. I know
of one firm alone that was stuck for
$50 900 on election devices"

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter,

New York, June 2s.-(Special-) -)-Cotton was lower today as the result of weaker Liverpool and some good rains in Texas. August opened at TIA, declined to 711 ral- lied to 77 and closed at 7.16 bid, with the tone steady. The later months were less depressed in the early dealings and weaker at the close than August. Private advices from Texas as to the condition of the crop are reassuring, and it seems to us that the news must get far more unfavorable than it is now to ustify the expectation of any ma- teria1 advance. For the present we think well of taking profits up on moderate breaks and selling up on every bulge.
