Sneering at the Ministers.

There is some complaint because
the ministers of the gospel are al
most solidly opposed to Bryan and
his dangerous theories. Who can
blame them when the boy orator re-
fers to the pastors of the nation in
this sneer: you will find in our
cities preachers Of the gospel enjoy
ing every luxury themselves who are
Indifferent to the cries Of distress
which come up from the masses OF the
people. II wassald Of a princess of a
foreign land, when someone said to
her, The people are crying for bread,
that she replied; why don't they
eat cake?' Tell some Of these minis
tiers Of the gospel that and they can't
understand why everyone is not as
well off as themselves. have seen
preachers Of the gospel using even
more bitter speech than politicians
against the elamorings of the people,
and | have wondered where they got
the religion they preach"

W. w. DAVIS, the Shoe Man.

In this country it is worth from
25 to S5 cents per pound.
Take the item of coffee that is
largely raised in Mexico and is worth
~ cents per pound there, while it is
worth but 20 cents here. Are these
three articles, bread, butter and
coffee, "about as necessary to the
Mexican laborer as champagne is to
the American workingman" There
are no three articles OF food more
universally used than bread, butter
and coffee. Further investigation
has proven that in my said statement
! the price OF labor in Mexico was
placed too high. find that the price
paid there to what Is known as the
peon laborer is S7l cents per day in
Mexican silver, while there is another
and better class known there as the
skilled Mexican laborer who receives
for a days work 81 in Mexican silver.
Such a man in this country would
get VI to xl.25 in American money.
! know when ! made my said state
mcnt and know now that American
skilled laborers get In Mexico from $2
to 70 per day, Mexican silver, but
had no reference to American labor
but to Mexican labor only as my said
statement properly and fairly con-
strued will show. think have
shown that my figures are correct and
that did know what was talking
about. am surprised that il you
meant to attack the vcracity Of my
statement you ma not DO so IN way
that would show its falsity il ii is
false as You claim. Now say it is a
well known fact, that with $40 in
Mexican gold you can buy S3S in
Mexican silver. DO you think you
can Mcxicanize American currency
To me it seems impossible that one
possessing your intelligence could,
with open eyes, vote to bring about
in this country condition similar to
that which is so well known to now
exit in Mexico II you Mexicanize
our money you Mexicanize our labor.

Those Mexican Prices.

lished a comparison of prices in Mex
leo and United States, a statement
made by the mayor of FL Paso, Texas.
Some Of the local Pop papers have
criticised the accuracy Of the table, as
did also the FL Paso Times, a Bryan
organ. 10 these statements Mr.
Campbell replies;
The statement that made respect-
ing the wholesale prices Of certain
articles in Mexico, when paid for in
Mexican silver; and in this country
when paid for in United States money
was based on the best and most reli-
able authorities. That statement, rs
to the prices of articles Of merchan-
disc, was taken from two price lists
in the shape Of bids to what is COM
monty known in this locality as the
Corralitos Railway company, which
is now engaged in the construction Of
line Of railway in Mexico. The cor
porate name of the company is i'm
material. The list showing prices in
Mexican silver was the bid of Messrs.
Ketelsen and Degetau, in which they
agreed to supply said articles to said
company or those employed by it, for
consumption by Mexican laborers,
while constructing said road in Mex
leo, at the price given in my state
ment. The list showing Of G. +.
Slack Il Co., Of III Paso, Texas, in
which they agreed to supply said ar
ticles to said company NJ the prices
given in my statement. The firm Of
Ketelsen & Degciau is known far and
wide in Mexico, and is one Of the
largest concerns in that republic, and
! believe that implicit confidence can
be placed in whatever that firm might
say as to the prices Of such articles in
Mexican silver. The firm Of G. +.
Slack Il Co., of FL Paso, Texas, is
equally well known. 1t does large
business in this country as well as in
Mexico, and what they would say
about prices Of such articles can be
relied upon. These two bids were
competitive, and it is fair to presume
that the prices were made as reason
able as the parties could afford to
make them in order to secure the bus
mess.
You have attacked my statement as
being unreliable and false, and you
have done so in glittering personali-
ties | have given the prices Of
specific articles. II these are not true
] ask you to give the true prices. II
is not Just to me that you should
deny the truth OF my statement in
general terms. This makes no tan
gible issue between us. Your own
statement to some extent at least yer.
lies the truth Of my statement. You
say that in quoting my prices ] Sc

ON BRYAN'S CHANCES
IN ILLINOIS.

Some days ago Mr.. Creelman wrote
the New York World from Southern
Illinois that here had been growth in
the silver sentiment in rural Illinois.
and that if he carried the labor vote in
Chicago he would get the electoral
vote of Illinois. Of the first day in
Chicago, Mr.. Creelman wired:
Mr.. Bryan swept into Chicago from
the great corn prairies this afternoon
and began the great struggle for the
conquest of the labor stronghold bv
making six fierce speeches in the West
ern metropolis, ending shortly before
midnight.
The change from the open, sunlit
country, with its swad1ning multitudes
OF good-natured farmers. to the f1lri-
Gus mobs rushing between the tall
buildings of the city, seemed to inspire
him.
lie saw this afternoon-what every
honest observer saw-that while the
jeers and Kisses came from the win
dows of the giant commercial houses.
the hasannas swelled from the throats
of the Workingmen ON the sidewalks.
1t was a significant sight, and one
that cannot be ignored by any man
interested in knowing how Illinois will
vote next Tuesday.
This is the supreme battle of the
campaign. Mr.. Hanna may say that he
sees nothing in these mighty upheavals,
but Mr.. Hanna is NO fool"
Mr.. Creelman estimates that Mr..
Bryan spoke to $4,000 persons in Chi
cago Tuesday evening.
