A British View.

On March 10th last, before any OF the
presidential candidates we're selected. the
London News gave the following plain
and truthful statement Of the effects Of
free coinage OF silver:
The financial situation in the United
States 10 very serious. The senate has
blocked all relief measures proposed by
President Cleveland, and congress is at
. dead standstill on the money question.
Tho free coinage senator's are masters
Of the situation.
The condition of affairs in the United
States congress demands tho immediate
attention OF British financiers and states
men. The trade OF the world 10 now in
their hands. but it will not long remain
there II the United States goes to a
bimetallic basis with free and unlimited
coinage Of silver.
With the addition Of silver to the vol
ums Of money. everything would take on
new face; labor and industry would
gain new life. The grip Of the gold
standard on the products Of the world
would be loosened and prices would rise,
Great Britain would lose her markets In

BRYAN AND sswalL OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED.


Bryan and Sewall were officially notifi-
cd OF their nomination on the democratic
national ticket for president and vice
president Of the United States respective
ly, lin Madison Square. New YorkCity, last
Wednesday evening, Governor Stone, OF
Missouri. made the notification address.
Mr.. Bryan's response in accepting the
nomination We are unable TO publish as
II il 20 lengthy. 1t was a mastery effort,
however, and everyone should read the
entire speech. In conclusion he spoke
OF international bimetallism as follows:
In conclusion permit me to say n
word in regard TO international bimetal-
iism. We are not opposed 10 an inter
national agreement looking to the restora-
tion OF bimetallism throughout the
world. Tho advocates OF free coinage
have on all occasions shown their willing
ness to cooperate with other nations in
the reinstatement OF silver. but they are
not willing to await the pleasure OF other
governments when immediate relief is
needed by the people OF the United
Independent action offers better assur
ance Of international bimetallism than
servils dependence upon foreign aid.
For more than twenty years we have in
vited the assistance OF European nations.
but all progress in the direction OF inter
national bimetallism has been blocked
by the opposition OF those who derive
pecuniary benefit from the appreciation
Of gold. How long must We wait for BIZ
metallism to be brought to us by those
who profit by monometallismg II
the double standard will bring benefits
to our people. who will deny them the
right to enjoy those benefitss

could meet them in the field OF honor

them to submit theirs to a people whose
patriotism has never been appealed to in
vain.

can people to govern themselves and

AN OHIO CYCLONE.

Gloucester, q Mining Town, Half Swept
Away-Several Dead.
CLEVELAND, July 3l.-A special from
Athens, O., says the most destructive
storm in the history Of the Sunday
creek valley occurred at Gloucester, a
mining town IL miles north, which
resulted in the almost total destruction
Of one Of the principal thoroughfares of
the town, and doing damage in other
places to the extent of thousands of
dollars. J. L. Daugherty, who was
standing in front Of his grocery when
the storm was raging its worst, was
struck by a section Of a plank walk
which was lifted up by the wind
and instantly killed. Four other per-
sons are reported dead and several
others seriously injured, but details are
meagre and it is impossible to learn
names. A livery stable with six horses,
vehicles, etc., was blown into the creek
and swept away. Nearly every build.
ing in the town Is damaged, and many
are completely demolished. The streets
r filed with broken timber, and
debris Of all kinds. To add to the
horror, Sunday creek is sweeping every
thing before il. Several houses have
been washed away and two persons
are reported drowned.

"Straw votes" are very significant and

The other vote was of fifteen "tourists,"

and were discussing the money question
rs they ate, and curiosity prompted Mr..
Filsinger to ask them how they stood on
the money question and IA out of the 10
