with that of the west and south and ad-
ded: 1.-THE south and west cultivate
corn and wheat. The eastern man
chiefly cultivates bonds.
He said the millions in New York cof-

was why the men of the south and west
complained.

MORGAN ON SILVER.
WASHINGTON, June rs. - Senator
John T. Morgan of Alabama has adj
dressed letter on the silver question
to the Hon. William c. Whitney in re-
Spouse to the latters communication Of
June 21st.
After saying that Mr.. Whitney's let
ter is entitled to the sincere respect
which 1t receives from the whole people"
Mr.. Morgan discusses somewhat the
question of an international agreement
and says: 1T seems to be a very vague
and distant hope that Great Britain
will ever yield to European or American
states a real participation in her finan-
cial policy by treaty agreements"
Senator Morgan assumes that no
American statesman can elaborate such
a plan as our government will consent
to adopt, or can agree to. under the con-
stitution, and makes the friendly chal-
lenge to Mr.. Whitney to state the plan
(which you would advise the Demo-
Gratis to accept as basis, at least. for an
international agreement" The senator
concludes as follows:
"As you seem to agree with the De-
mocracy of the south and west that sill
yer should be fully remonetized, re-
spectfully submit to your candid judg
ment whether this restoration of the
rights of our people is not more justly
to be expected from the action and power
of our own government that has never
failed in such an effort than from Great
Britain or any commercial nation Of
European powers who will do nothing
Of the kind except upon the inducement
of some selfish motive"

The SILVER CAMPAIGN
Opened at New York by q Speech From Senator
Tillmnn

HUMAN
NEW YORK, June 25.-The first or.
ganized movement in favor of free silver
in this city was inaugurated tonight at
Cooper Union, and the hall held vast
assemblage. The meeting was under
the auspices of the American silver or
ganization, which has for it's sponsors
the young Democracy. better known as
ex-Sheriff James O'Brien's followers.
Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro-
lima. the chief speaker, received an ova-
ton as he walked upon the platform
and took halt under an ancient paint
ing of Horace Greeley
The meeting was called to order by
George p. Keeney, the official general
organizer, who called attention to tn :
presence of Senator Tillman. The men,
ton of the senator's name set the audi
ence to applauding again, and it cheer
ed vigorously. Senator Bixbie of the
state Democracy" and Alexander Del
mar made brief speeches. after which
Tillman was introduced. He was again
loudly cheered. and began his speech
with bitter attack on the press of New
York. In continuing, he said in part:
Some of you have, perhaps, formed
your opinions about me. l have also
formed mine about you. You are the
most ignorant and benighted commun-
ity in the United States. Your news
papers, on which you alone depend for
your news and knowledge of public men
and public affairs, have studiously kept
you hidebound and narrow by giving
you only side Of this question. Right
here let me say that you are the biggest
, Of newspaper gluttons ever saw in my
life. I have seen the time would vote
for any man at his bidding, idiot or
thief, but have got above that Though
I appear here as a Democrat, I appear
here also in the higher role of an Amer
ican."
He sarcastically reviewed the present
history and legislation since Mr.. Cleve-
land was first elected president, making
bitter attacks on him. He then declared
that the currency fight was a sectional
one, adding that bimetallism is national,
while gold buggery" is sectional.
You are driving us to the alternative
OF reputation or confiscation," he de-
clared. This is why am glad to come
here and carry the war to Africa, for
this is the head center of the devilment.
That is why come to New York, within
mile of Wall street. where you are
surrounded by millionaires. where you
belong to them as slaves. and ask you
to rise in your majesty and throw off
this yoke. But tell you right now, we
are not calculating upon your doing
it. But we do not expect your help. and
our planning is to beat at the polls in
spite Of your money"

Almost Beyond Belief

Mr.. Morse has been jeweler in Los
Gatos for many years. and his condition
has been known to nearly every one in that
town. Those who meet him on the street
now hardly recognize in him the .decrepit
old man who a month ago was believed to
be on the verge of the grave. 1t seems al
most impossible to believe, but when one
looks back ten years and considers the re-
markable progress which has been made in
Electricity in that time It, is not strange.
Electricity has accomplished wonders in
mechanics. and it is accomplishing greater
wonders in medical treatment. But owing
to the prevalence of quackery ard the
many. cheap, poorly made articles WHICH
have been foisted on the suffering public,
many people are slow to acknowledge the
curative value of DR.. Sanden's Electric
Belt. Many cures almost as remarkable as
this one are shown in the little pamphlet
which DIR. Sander sends free of charge. II
