and one error in bis speech. The
fallacy is that the Mckinley sys-
tenn of protection is urged for the
purpose of increasing revenue, in
disregard of the fact that, when
protection begins revenue ends.
"The error of fact in McKinley's
speech is that the debt of the Uni
ted States has been increased under
the present administration by an
amount equal to the whole sum of
interest-bearing bonds recently is
sued, S262,OOO,O00. l have not the
exact figures of the deficiency of
revenue by which the debt has been
increased, but it is about one-half
Of the amount of bonds issued. The
remainder of nterest-bearing bonds
substantially represents so much
demand debt, converted into inter
est bearing debt"
And yet every republican paper
one picks up is full of high tariff
rot. Edward Atkinson is the best
authority in that party and he de.
nounces McKinley's tariff. The fl
nancial question has the right OF
way in the campaign, and all efforts
to dodge it only makes it more ap'
parent that the followers of Hanna
Kohlsaat and Mckinley are afraid to
tackle the subject.

Cnckran's Effort.

"Some parade was made in New
York of the proposition that all
men would recognize that the mo-
tive of Mr.. Bourke Cochran in
speaking was distinctly and wholly
patriotic; that every man who heard
or read his words would know
that they were the expression Of sim
cere and earnest convection and
that they were uttered for no
other purpose than to assist in the
enlightenment of the speakers
countrymen as to the issue which
concerns the national honor and
glory. There was a good deal
more of this sort of thing, but this
is enough to convey an idea of the
effort to make Mr.. Cochran a very
impressive characters. 1t is possible
that the author of this tlattering
notice is mistaken. All men may
not recognize Mr.. Cockran's motive
as "distinctly and wholly patriotic" !"
There will be plenty of people to
ascribe to this eloquent gentleman
motives, purposes and personal re-
asons such as actuate everyday
politicians who are looking out for
themselves rather than the country.
Even many Of those who are warm
admirers Of Mr.. Cochran may be
unable to shut out the though that
he may be actuated by a spirit OF
revenge on Tammany, from which
he separated under circumstances
that were under the control of the
organization rather than Of him
self. Others cannot be restrained
in the suspicion that he finds keeneI
appreciation on the republican side
than he does in his old associations
Others may decline to accept as sin
cere the declarations of man who
processes to be trying to purify the
democratic party, when the practi
cal effect of his work, if ithas effect
at all, will be to help the repubIi
can party to Triumph and the dem

demonetizing silver was to take
away from it free coinage and its
legal tender character and it's right
to be used as money of redemption.
Silver is pow used only as credit
money, and no number Of "purchas-
ing acts" would restore it to it's
former position. These "purchas-
ing acts" are calculated to deceive
the uninformed, as it simply piles
silver up and is means by which
money changers prejudice some
people against silver-what we
need and want is the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver, the same
as gold enjoys, and the same that
silver enjoyed before 1873, and
this will restore our silver to its
proper place as redemption money.
Under the gold standard only one
half as much paper or credit money
can be used as under the double
standard. Of course the less re-
demption money the less credit
money can safely be used, and as
long as silver IS simply coined as
credit money, it is no more useful
than paper, and does not increase
the volume of money in circulation
among the people. Our condition
will certainly grow worse if we
keep up the gold standard, but un-
der the bimetallic system our wheat,
cotton, corn and all we produce, as
well as property and all labor will
st once increase in value and full
prosperity be restored.
Yours truly,
A FARMER.

ceived by the money spectators,
who have controlled public opinion
and the laws Of congress tor these
% years, until all other prosperity
has been choked to death.
The demand for money has be-
come greater than it ever was, on
account of the enormous debt that
must be paid before real prosperity
can even set in. To continue our
present gold standard means to de-
crease our volume of money, but at
the same time to increase our taxes.
Beware of the false reasoning by
our gold standard advocates. Re
member that we have two kinds OF
money. "One is money of redemp-
tion and the other is credit money"
Up to 1873 gold and silver was our
redemption money, and paper was
our credit money. "Since 1878
gold alone is our redemption mon
ey and silver and paper arc both
credit money" Remember, ere
dcmption money is that which is
used as basis of a monetary sys-
tenn When gold and silver are re-
stored, as they were before 1873,
then our government can use its op-
tion to redeem credit money in
either metal, and you will no longer
hear them cry down the 53 cent
silver dollar, as II will then stand
equal In value with gold as money

HERE is what Edward Atkinson,
the great financial authority and
sound money writer, says about
McKinley's letter Of acceptance:
II regret that Mckinley should
have felt it necessary to say that, in
the event of bis election, it would
be the duty Of the party to return
to the system of protection which
has become known as Mckinley
ism That system has, in my judg.
ment, been utterly condemned, and
this assertion will make it much
more difficult for democrats tp give
their votes for Mckinley, even in
the present emergency.
II note one conspicuous fallacy,

WHEN prices rise the opposite
forces are at work. The farmers
cannot increase their product be-
cause their land and their labor
will produce no more. Manufac-
turers, on the other hand, employ
all the idle labor available and i'm
mensely increase the supply of
manufactured articles. The result
is that manufactured articles rise
comparatively little in price. Farm
products, ON the other hand, rise
with expanding currency as rapidly
as the fall with contracting curren-
cy, because rising prices and the re-
vival of business in the manufactur-
ing centres increase the demand for
farm products, while the supply
from the farms is but little changed.
The United States, therefore, as
the great producer Of the products
which have fallen most by reason
of the contraction of the currency,
has everything to gain from a poll
cy which will expand the currency
of the world, increase the demands
for the products which she sells and
increases the supply Of the pro-
duets she buys. Our farmers are
no more mistaken in believing that
the free coinage Of silver will es-
pecially increase the prices Of their
products than they are in observing
that monometallism has especially
decreased the price of their pro
duets.

Kansas State and Federal Authorities
Clash Over Santa Fe Receivership.
Topeka, Kan, Nov 19.-At Oslsa-
loosa yesterday morning District Judge
Louis A. Myers appointed ex-senator
John Martin of Topeka to be receiver,
in place of Charles F. johnson. who
failed to qualify. Within an hour
Charles Blood Smith, representing the
Union Trust company, filed cross bill
in the United States district court and
asked for an order restraining Senator
Martin and all those connected with
the prosecution of the case from pro-
ceeding further. Judge c. G. Foster
signed the order.
This action relieves the Santa Fe at
torneys from a somewhat embarrassing
position, and throws the burden of the
case upon the Union Trust company,
nonresident corporation.
Judge Foster also made an order re-
quiring the Santa Fe company to con-
tinue the operation of the property.
The matter will come before Judge
Foster in this city November %.
Senator Martin will not qualify as
receiver until the case is heard in the
United States circuit court. Iniunc-
tion papers were served by United
States Marshal Neely and he said that
he would not dlsobey the injunction in
any manner whatever.
