vIClERoY LION SILVER.
He Says the Silver Nations Should
Stand Together.


CHICAGO, Sept. IA special dis
patch from New York says: Lii Hung
Chang has been asking a great many
questions about the political situation
in the United States since his arrival,
and is taking a deep interest in the
campaign. He declared yesterday that
he would prefer to have Bryan elected
than Mckinley, because he is a silver
man and he would like to have the
United States join China in the list
of silver nations.
He thinks the silver nations should
stand together and trade with each
other to the exclusion of the gold ma
lions. It would be a simple and easy
solution OF the commercial problem, he
says. if such a combination could be
made. The depreciation of silver has
embarrassed China very much, for. the
government is obliged to pay the in
terest upon its foreign debt in gold,
which makes the present charge double
the amount which she expected to pay
when the loans Wee negotiated, and it
is a burden upon the people, because
they are compelled to pay gold prices
for all their imported goods.
AT the same time he believes there
has been some compensation in the de-
velopment of manufacturing interests
within the empire Within the last two
years several cotton factories have
been established and several iron mills
have increased their plants to utilize
the cheap labor, because foreign st
tons and iron materials have doubled
in cost.
The viceroy thinks that England
alone is responsible for the depreciation
of silver, and that her policy is purely
selfish. He says that he told the Mar
quis of Salisbury that Great Britain
could settle the SILVER question in a day
if she chose, and that she ought to do
so for the welfare of mankind.
1t seems now that the viceroy will

return by way of Canada, not because
he wished 70 do so, but really because
he has had no choice.
More than two weeks before he left
England Ii was informed by the South
ern Pacific railway that it would place
a train at his disposal to take him to
San Francisco. AS the representative
of the emperor of China he could not
accept such an offer except upon the
invitation of this government. He
waited a fortnight for the invitation
that nevsr came. and then ackri-Wl-
edged the courtesies of the Dominion
of Canada in transporting him over the
Canadian Pacific railway TO Vancouver.
That is why Ii will not see any more
of the United States than New YORK,
Philadelphia, Washington and Niagara
Falls

OUR BATTLE GROUND.

According to the sound money del
egates from Nebraska, who arrived
this afternoon, the nomination of a
strong ticket here will draw from $4,000
to 10000 votes from Bryan in his own
state and assure the electoral vote for
Mckinley. Judge Euclid Martin, the
chairman of the delegation, said that
Nebraska has had sound money
Democratic organization for four years,
and that every district in the state is
represented here He did not care to
make predictions which would not be
substantiated later and preferred to
underestimate rather than exaggerate
the chances for the defeat of Bryan in
his own state. but that while the re-
suit will be close, he believed that Nc
Kinley would win. Other members of
the delegation were more positive in
their claims.
All doubt about Arkansas being rep
resented in the convention was dissi-
pated at D. m. when twenty substan-
tial looking citizens arrived. They were
headed by Colonel Fardyce, the chair
man of the delegation. They brought

Especial to The HeraIdo


WASHINGTON. D. c., Sept. 12.-The
Herald correspondent visited the in
terror department today and made in
quiry. concerning the status Of the I'm
compahgre Indian land locations.
The newIy-appointed secretary Of the
interior, Francis, is absent for a few
days at Richfeld Springs, with his
family, and will not return until about
the middle of next week.
First Assistant Secretary Sims is
acting as secretary during the absence
of Francis. Governor Sims was shown
the telegram from Salt Lake, stating
that forty-five locations had been made
on the asphaltum lands of the Uncom-
pahgre reservation, and that among
the locators were the governor and
secretary of Utah.
Governor Sims was surprised at this
information, and Immediately sent for
Mr.. White, who has charge of the In
dian division of the interior DEPART
ment. The two went into a private
room and consulted for some time.
Governor Sims tonight said to The Her
aid correspondent:
"These people have located upon the
land without authority. A commission
was appointed to negotiate with the
Indians for the relinquishment of part
of their lands, and the allotment Of
the remainder in severalty. The ne
gotfations have not been concluded,
nor, so far as 1 know, have they been
commenced"
"The Iocators may then be regarded
as trespassers and transgressors Of
law?'' asked the correspondent
you may put your own construction
upon that" replied Governor Sims. II
will only say that they are there with
out authority
"WiH instructions be sent to the I'm
compahgre Indian agent to remove the
posted notices Of location, and what
will be Governor Francis policy con-
corning the opening Of these lands to
settlement"
Governor Sims replied:
81 am only acting as secretary Of the
interior, and would rather not say what
the action of the department is likely
to be. We will probably await advices
from our agent, for the information
that you bring US is the first we have
received. I certainly do not know what
view Secretary Francis viii take Of this
matter, though I should not be sur
prised if he adopted the policy Of his
predecessor"
Judging from the tone of Governor
Sims conversation, The Herald CORES
pondent believes that those who have
located upon these lands will be re-
garded as trespassers and transgres-
sors, and although they may not have
rendered themselves liable to punish
ment, their locations, prematurely
made, will not give them any prior
rights over others if the land should
hereafter be opened to settlement by
consent of the Indians.

gold standard country you lower the
price of all products of which are
measured by money. Great applause
Our opponents talk about a fifty
cent dollar They refuse to recognize
the fact that the moment the minis of
the United States are opened to the
free coinage of silver so that seventy
millions OF people can go out and Sc
cure silver, take it TO the mint and
convert it into money and use that
money to pay taxes and debts with,
and for the purchase of property-they
refuse to recognize, L. say, that the
opening of our minis increases the de-
mand for silver and
RAISES THE PRICE OF SILVER
as measured by gold.
Nov, another proposition: We be-
lieve not only that free coinage Of sill
yer will raise the value of silver bull
lion as measured by gold, but we be-
lieve that the demand created by the
opening of the United States mints
would be sufficient to take all surplus
silver, and there being then no silver
upon the market which cannot be con-
verted into money at our minis to use
In the development of our industries,
there will be silver in the world which
can be purchased for less than s1.29
per ounce in gold" Great applause0

Chicago platform shaped and drove the
wedge that has separated it in twain
A comparison Of the platforms adopted
at Chicago and at Indianapolis dis
closed the reasons for the separation.
You, sir, stand on a platform adhering
to the ancient and accepted doctrines
of true Democracy. It declares in IN
equivocal terms for: A tariff for
revenue only; the gold standard, with
silver as subsidiary coinage; the di-
vorcement of the government from the
banking business with a safe and
elastic currency, under governmental
supervision measured in volume by
the needs Of business" The indepen-
dence and integrity of the supreme
court; individual freedom and
RIGHT OF PRIVATE CONTRACT
and the enforcement of federal law by
the president. No uncertain sound
comes from Indianapolis. Clear, dis
tinct and emphatic, its utterances have
penetrated every nook and corner of
the republic.
The Chicago platform is precisely the
opposite of these principles. That great
principle Of tariff for revenue only is
denuded Of it's Democratic force by
dropping the word "only,' thus leaving
a wide margin for Republican heresy
to creep into this cardinal tenet.
You and the public know the deadly
thrusts made in the Chicago platform
at the supreme court; at the presidents
power to suppress riot affecting federal
property or authority and of the free
dom of contract. You and the public

credit and honor of the present none
tary standard, and of the threat of IN
limited issue of paper money by the
government. 1t is needless to specify
the departures from the Democratic
doctrine contained in the Chicago plat
form. The world knows them and is
amazed at them
L will briefly, sir, sketch the stems
that led up to the attempt boldly made
at Chicago to degrade the standard of
value, repudiate national objectezns
and strike at the right of private con-
tract.
WHEN THE WAR CEASED
the country was on a paper basis.
Greenbacks issued as a war measure
were the standard of value and medium
of exchange They had run out of gold
and silver. They were of doubtful con-
stitutionality. In 1875, an act of con-
gress was passed providing for the re-
sumption Of specie payment, the date
fixed in the act being the year 1879 To
the end that the paper issue should be
called in and cancelled. bonds of the
government were authorized to be sold
and the proceeds applied to their ex-
tfnguishment. In 1878, the silver dol
lar was dropped from the coinage. The
country had practically been on a gold
through Democratic statutes deliber-
ately adopted to accomplish that end
The greenbacks had done what all in
ferior money will always do-supplant-
ed metallic money of all kinds, and the
act was only declaratory of what had
been done heretofore. 1t only con-
frmed or did directly what the act of
1884 had done indirectly. The act of
1884 was passed with the full know

GOLD WAS THEN THE CHEAPER
COIN.
at the ratio of Is to l. Silver was at a
premium, but the purpose of the Demo-
cratic congress in passing the act Of
1884 was expressly avowed to be to
place the United States on a gold basis
as best suited to the needs of an ex-
panded and an expanding commerce.
This basis lasted until the civil war
broke out recessitating the issue of
paper money.
The Republican party, to which is
due all praise for passing the act of
1875. grew weary of well doing, became
alarmed at the clamOr over restricting
the currency by retiring the green
backs, and in 1873 adopted a law for1-
polling their reissue when received into
the treasury. This last act, going still
further in the direction of initiation,
provided for the purchase of silver bull
lion and the coinage per month of not
less than two millions of silver dollars
of full legal tender paper. Again, in
1890, there was a further yielding of
the dominant Republican party to the
demands of the

THE LOGAN SCHEME.

Up to the present time not a single
material point in The Herald's great
story connecting the bank robbery with
the Warner-C Cassidy gang and the muir
der trial now on at Ogden has been
disproven. The cut-throats are well
known to every officer in Utah, Wyom-
ing and southern Idaho. AS soon as
they made their appearance in the Vi
cinity the authorities knew there was
something in the air and this accounts
for the foiling of the original plot to
rob the Logan bank. George E. Blair,
son-in-law of George Thatcher, the
Logan banker, says that the officials of
the institution were apprised of a plan
to make an attempt upon the bank by
this same gang, but the bandits I'M
doubtedly learned that a hot reception
had been prepared for them and they
sought better fields for their opera
tons.
