A Frank Admission.

!. The London Times (The Thnn-
derer) in a recent editorial says:
(italics ours) @lt seems impossi-
BILE to get bimetallists to under
stand that there is quite a large
l. lumber of us for whom a general
rise in prices has no charms What
ever. We like them low, and the
lower the better. If they all went
down to half the present figures
we should rejoice, because we have
.othing to sell and a great many
things to 6ety. For those who have
things to sell we do not feel any
great concern"

wreckage. Froln the E;;.t,s ,,ridge
south for two miles every building
is damaged that is not in ruins.
The loss to shipping is estimated
at 100000. Over in East St.
Louis the loss of life is now plac-
ed at $50 and the damage to prop
erty exceeds $2,000,0O0. The fire
in East st. Louis was net under
con 'rol.at midnight.
The Liggett & Meyers cigarette
factory at Tower Grove was de-
stroyed, and seven men engaged
in. placing new machinery were
killed. The story that 200 girls
are in the ruins is untrue. The
telegraph wires are Frustrated in
all directions, but the companies
are making herculean efforts to re-
store communication. Only three
wires are working out of the city,
and they are subject to frequent
Interruptions.
Among the worst disasters in
East st. Louis was the wreck of
the Martell house, cf which moth
ing was left but a hoap of ruins.
Up to 8 o'clock seven people
were known to have been engulfed
in the ruins.

Moberly, in Randolph county, in
the northeastern partof the Mis-
souri,. 1t then passed southeast into
Audrian county, where the school
house at Rush Hill, and it's occu-
pants were victims.
The latest reports from the scene
of the disaster places the loss at
over 700 human lives.
Relief ass,,iations have been
organized ait Oxford, Ortonville
and Mount Clemens to relieve the
distress caused by Monday nights
disastrous Cyclone.
It.is reported that 80 chill lren
were killed in u school house at

mated at $22,0O0,000.

President Hickman's Views.

The Manufacturers Record sent
out letter to 600 leading manu-.
facturers asking their views on the
broad question-"What is most
needed to bring about greater
prosperity for the general indus
rial interests of the entire coun-
sry?" Among the replies we no.
tice one from H. II. Hickman,
President of the Graniteville Man.
ufacturing Company:
"Congress should adjourn and
the members thereof 60 home or
to Europe or somewhere else. We
shall not have much prosperity
until the currency question is se&
tied, and if settled with free-siiver
coinage, it will require more brains
than I possess to predict the re-
suits. Sound money is our need
more than anything else to obtain
prosperity for the country Then
we need the Hatch bill or some
thing better. We are at present
a nation of gamblers. No one in
business, especially cotton manu-
facturers, can make any calcula-
ton on the supply and demand.
We are in the hands of the Phllis-
tines, and the sooner Samson
comes along the better for all con-
cerned. If our planters could be
made to believe that 100000
bales of cotton would bring more
than 100000, this would save
Che labor of making 100000. This
work, devoted to home supplies,
would bring prosperity to the cot
Ton States. The government should
60 out of the banking business.
The miserable 10 per cent. tax on
State banks should be repealed
and the States have the right to
furnish the country with sound
currency. This would give as a
flexible currency, which the South
and the West 80 much need. Moth
ing else will"
