EN- PRESIDENT HARRISON TALKS.
He has peculiar ideas of newspaper
reporters.
When ex President Harrison, who is
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York,
was asked this morning by a reporter
from the United Press LEGAL News if
he had anything to say on the political
situation, he said:
Il object to interviews on political
matters. do not know if there is
anything for me to say or that 1 WANT
to say. If there is, I shall say it in g
speech OF in a letter, and then there
will be some chance of the public

BUTLER

Says the National PopuIist Committee
Will Not Recognize Fusion 7 nat Will
Aid in Sewalrs Election.
WASHINGTON, August 19--Late to
night Chairman Butler Of the Populist
National Committee and Vice Chair
man Stevens of the S%Iverites signed a
contract for the rental Of that portion
of the Old Wormley Hotel not occupied
by the Democratic Committee, and
preparations will be made to move in
at once and take possession of their
new quarters. The three head quarters
will, by this arrangement, be under
one roof and in the dissemination of
literature they will all work together.
The Populist Committee held another
meeting this evening. 1t was confined
largely to the consideration of details
connected with the opening Of the new
headquarters. Later on, in discussing
the question Of fusion, Chairman But
Ter said: The National Committee
will not approve and cannot recognize
fusion where the Populists and Demo
Gratis have fused by the former taking
the State ticket and the latter all of the
electoral tickets. Bryan and Watson
were nominated by the overwhelming
vote Of the convention, and that ticket
must be supported by all Populists.
Watson stands for what Bryan stands
for. 1t is the only ticket that repre-
sents the principles in which Populists
believe. Sewall is no more our candid
ate than is HoaRrt, and Populists An
not indorse any scheme of fusion that
is intended to aid his election"
Butler denied that any pooling ar
rangement for the circulation Of litera
ture had been or would be arranged
between the Democrats and Populists,
but admitted that they would work to
gether in the utmost harmony. You
cannot send out too much literature in
a campaign like this, " said he, for the
people are crying for light and knowl
edge upon the one question of finance.
The two committees will not interfere,
for while we may send out largely the
same class OF material, it will reach
different voters even in the same
town."

OUR FLAG.

Essay Readby Miss Lille Peeler at Row
an County Meeting, August 8, 1865
MY DEAR FRIENDs:-It affords me
much pleasure to have the privilege of
speaking a word in defense of our
glorious old flag of these United States.
1t is the flag Of freedom, liberty and
independence; it is the flag under which
our forefathers bled and died it is the
flag that liberated us from the yoke Of
foreign power, and it is the flag with
it's liberties and privileges for which
the Alliance and Reformers are to day
so earnestly contending.
But before entering fully upon the
stars and stripes of to day, l wish to
bring to your attention some of the
principle flags that have been used in
America since the landing of the Pill
grims in 1920.
The first Of these was the English
flag, commonly called the Gross of
ST. George" which was hoisted, with
out doubt, over the May Flower"
when u Pilgrim fathers disembarked
at Plymouth.
In 1913 the c~onfederacy Of the colo
MES was formed, styled The United
Colonies of New England" Many Of
the colonists objected to the cross
which the English flag bore, which
they they thought to be an idolatrous
symbol; but the English officers were
like many Of the present day quite
too much inclined to dictate and take
matters into their own hands. There
fore, the ~colonists made up their minds
that IL order to have peace they must
first have war, and erected the plain,
red flag of war near what was called
the odd Liberty Tree" in Boston,
where was witnessed many a lively
skirmish between the British officers
| and the American sOns of liberty.
Time and again the Redcoats' cut
down their liberty-p0le, which the lib,
erty boys duly replaced each time
with growing resentment in their
hearts. This flag was the symbol of
defiance and gave warning to the Brit
ish officers that these liberty boys
meant y be independent or die.
Just what kind CT flag was used on
the 17Gh Of June at the battle of Bun.
ker Hill is not known. One thing is
sure: the British captured none. Mrs.
Manning says her father was in the
battle and assisted in hosting the
standard and said it was a noble flag.
Various other banners were used,
bearing the notices: IAN Appeal to
Heaven" Liberty and Union" Lib
erty or DEATH" and other similar
legends
Next came 1.-The Rattlesnake Flag
With this curious feature of our Ma,
tional history come the glorious thir
teen stripes of which we are still sc
proud and which still float in the gen
tie breeze over these dear homes o.
ours.
The Rattlesnake" flag was USED
during the years 1775 and 1776, anc
had thirteen stripes, alternate blue anC
red, with a serpent lying diagonally
across the flag. 1t was thought tina
!, the rattlesnake was an emblem of vigi
lance, magnanimity and true courage
bbecause this serpent is not quarrelsome
but will not bear the heel of oppression
} 1t never wounds without first shakin,
it's rattles as a signal that it is going t.
strike; but when it does strike, though
1.-THE wound be small, it is sure to b

FACTS WHICH MUST BE ADJ
MITTED.

The fall in the commercial value Of
silver bullion, measured by gold, must
be attributed to the restriction Of its
money use.
If the demand for any article is di-
miniahed, from any cause, while the
supply continues as before, the prices
will decline.
If the supply of any article is IN ex
cess of the demand the price of the
surplus b if cts iDjuriously the CONNER
| ciaI value OF the whole product.
".
If the price Of silver bullion for any
given series of years is nearer on a par
| with the staple commodities Of the
| farm than gold, it is conclusive proof
! that the silver dollar is the honest
! measuring unit,
Toe coinage of both metals on &
parity with each other, at a fixed "a
| ito, is the only way Of maintaining the
| rights of both debtor and creditor
Fne equilibrium been gold and silver is
| self adjusting. If the demand for
either is excessive, from any cause, the
! burden is shifted upon the other.
They are mutual burden bearers.
VI.
To authOriz3 individuals or as3Ocia
tions to discredit and dishonor any Of
the lawful money is a crime against
the State. Debts should be paid in any
money recogn?zs ID by the Constitution.
VII
Money is a child Of civiliz ation-a
creature of law. 1t is not a product of
nature,
1t is the exclusive right and the i'm
perative duty of Government to Gre
ate money and determine it's value
its value as an instrument of exchange,
not as a commodity.
TX.
When the supreme power in a State
has exercised the Constitutional func
ton Of coming money, and has de
termined It's value, as it is the duty Of
every loyal citizen to obey it's man
dates.
Tie ratio Of silver to gold of 16 to 1
has no reference to the actual value Of
the metals respectively, but is sugges
tive of their relative production.
ri.
When n supreme power IN a State
has exercised its function, and its de
Crees have been adopted and acted
upon for a century, it is Ut Ist, dis
honest and revolutionary to attempt to
alter it's DEGREES.
Every State or independent jurisdic
ton creates it's own representatives of
value, which are legal tender only
within its own territory, or are m de
such by the laws Of the foresaid juris
diction.
BY the law of the American Con
grees, passed in 1857, all foreign gold
and silver coins were ~demonetized,
and must be recoined at an American
mint to make them a legal tender in
the payment of debts.
XIV.
He who maintains lnviolate the con
stitutional money standards estab
lished in the first year of Washing
tons Administration, is the only 10y
al and patriotic citizen. He only a
properly boast of a sacred regard for
either individual or national honor.
Nv.
The bullion value OF either gold or
silver Is always the same as the coin
age value, provided that the coinage
is Unlimited, and without expense to
the owner Of the bullion.
Unfriendly legislation is the sole
cause of the divergence in the coinage
value of gold and silver at the legally
established ratio.

THE SILVER CALCULATIONS.


Washington, April is Tho sound money
democrats here arc very blue over the de.
feat OF General Clarke In Alabama. They
expected him 10 win and were not pre-
pared for tho triumph OF Captain Johns
ton.
Just why the sound money democratic
should expect Victories anywhere Is
problem hard to solve. They have no or
ganisation nnd are making no efforts for
the cause on the other hand, the free
silver democrats are organized and are
actively at work. In this city. Chicago
and 81 Louis they have established liter
airy bureaus whore thousands upon thou
sands OF free silver documents are sent
out broadcast over the West and South
py every mail. Tho free silver bureau
here has number OF mon and women
esnirloyed and arc kept busy with their
iapors. Tho managers o. these free silver
bureaus evidently hays a., me money
paign and every now and then help along
the newspaper OF free silver friend
who Is financially embarrassed

In tho meantime. the administration
and leaders OF the sound money dem
ocrats are simply letting things drift
along, talking and protesting little
against tho FREQ silver tide, but not nght-
Ing 1t IN the way It must be fought 10
defeat it. Tho fact Is that II the sound
money democrats do not effect n good or
genigation and so to work ut onco. the
free silver democrats VIII carry every
State south Of tho Mason and Dixon line.
