SCHEMING TO CHEAT VOTERS.

LEADERS EXPOSED.

A TRICK OF THE FREE-SilsN EN- Df>MCNhhAiN
LEADERS EXPOSED.
Washington. Aug. (SpeciaD.-lf Information I'M
parted to certain Republicans here is correct ana
the sources from which 1t came leave no room TO
doubt its authenticity the free-sver Democratic
leaders are already planning to cheat large pro-
portion Of their own followers and all the Popu-
lists in matter which is regarded by them as
vital or else to cheat all the men who object to
free coinage of 53-cent dollars. but who would not
object to free-sivcr coinage If they could be made
10 believo that no silver dollar would be coined
that did not contain bullion commercially worth
100 cents The question Of ratio is regarded by
these men as an all-important one and they will
never knowingly vote to foist upon the people OF
the United States deprecated coinage currency
Both the Chicago Convention and the Populist
National Convention declared In favor Of free and
unlimited silver coinage at the ratio Of Is to l. Now
information comes that appeals already In cir
culation for use among voters who would not OBJ
feet to the free coinage OF a l0-cent silver dollar
the gist Of which is that If Bryan is elected and
is backed by a free-silver Congress the question
OF ratio Is to be reopened and that law will be
passed for the free coinage OF silver dollar that
is not commercially valuable as gold dollar
These appeals are expected TO SATISFY me scrupes

OF 5S-ccnt dollars or any other dollars that are
commercially Of less value than 100 cents.
II the pledges are made in good faith and with
any idea that they will be redeemed. then the de-
sign is to cheat every man who fayors free coin
not made IN good faith the design Is TO cheat hon.
est voters who innexibiy opposed TO any de-
and in view Of the votes of free-silver in the
last Congress and In several preceding Congresses
the irresistible conclusion is that the pledges are
made IN bad faith and for the purpose Of cheating

some changes noted in Presidential years, but the
working force OF the party has remained intact for
