TELLING TALK FROM TELLER.
From Senator Teller's Speech at
Morrison, Ill.

From Senator Teller's Speech at
Morrison, Ill.
Il want to challenge the statement
that has been made, and is being re-
peated from day to day, that we had
prosperity in 1883, that we had it in
1889, or that we had it in 1890 or '92.
In 1873 the American silver dollar was
stricken out of the list of American
coins. do not regard it as of the
slightest consequence to the Ameri-.
can people how it was done. The fact
exists that it was done, and the evil
which followed, in my Judgment, is too
apparent to be denied.
II know one thing in reference to the
characterization of the American silver
dollar. / know that no newspaper
editor previous to 1873 had ever writ
ten an article in defense of the single,
gold standard / know that no Ameri-
can newspaper had ever advocated the
decentralization of silver, and know
that no American speaker anywhere
had suggested to the American people
that the silver dollar was not good
enough to do money duty and should
be gotten rid of. I know, and you
know, that it was a good dollar then,t
and was worth more than a gold
dollar.
THE great Republican party that I
joined in my early life departed from
the platform Of 1868 and the platform
of 1892. 1t tells you now that the
present gold standard must be main
tanned. The provision for interna-
tional bi-metallism is TO make you be-
ieve, as they made believe in 1892, that
they were in favor of honest bi-metal-
hsm, We know that the history of in
ternational bi-metallism is that Eng
land alone prevented it's accomplish
ment in the international conference
in 1878, 1881 and in 1892. All the coun-
tries of the world sent their repre-
sentatives, and the four greatest na4
tions of the world said that they were
ready to go into any international
agreement to have the use OF silver
all over the world, but Great Britain
stood out and said no. Great Britain
has been the obstacle, as she always
will be. We have contended with Eng
land on land and ON sea, and we did
not come out second rate either time.
Why are we not able to contend with
her in our financial affairs. and MT
least try the financial system THAT
our fathers adopted in 1899 and sue
cessfully maintained until 1922" -,

WILL EQUIP SILVER CLUBS.
Generous Offer Made by New York
Firm to Mr.. Bland.

New York, Oct. 3.-Messrs. Ollendort
& Jones, proprietors of the American
Campaign Equipment Company, of No.
1918 Lexington avenue, and SO East
broadway, have demonstrated their
interest in the cause of free silver by
oering to fully equip any club that
Senator Bland may designate with uni
forms, torches and whatever other
articles they require during the cam
paiGn free of charge. Each uniform
is valued at So, and the number is
limited to one thousand.
The firm made the proposition to
Senator Bland in the following letter:
Hon. Richard p. Bland:
Dear Sir: Being in hearty sympathy
with .he cause of free silver we would
like to show our appreciation Of the
noble work you have done for that
cause by fully equipping any campaign
club in your district with uniforms,
etc, free of charge. We send with
this a catalogue from which any one

Dor.
1t may be said, further, that there
is no lack of work; those who are idle
in this country are usually so from
choice ard not from necessity. This
is true in every condition of labor. On
the windows or doors of more than so
establishments in this city are posted
to-day this notice:

translated, is the familiar Help
wanted"
Thousands of acres of land have
been brought under cultivation, prac-
! tically reclaimed from desert by the
railways tapping new sections, and the
| increase in fruit production, as we'll as
other branches of agriculture, makes
heavy demands yearly for labor In
the production oS@ruit and coffee there
| has been a great development, and
| greater possibilities exist. Last year
| the orange export was 400 carloads. A
conservative estimate places it this year
! at 800 cars or more. The coffee made
| five years ago was inconsiderable; last
year the exports of coffee exceeded
| $12,000,0000. 1t is believed the pro-
duct will reach 100000 in 1900. The
| United States is Mexico's heaviest GUS
toner and buys more largely with each
year. In the fiscal year of 1893-94 the
imports from the United States were
! $14,251, 1856, and the exports to our
country were $50, 66O,243. In the fiscal
year of 1894-95 the United States sent
to Mexico SIS, 13O,367 worth of mer-
chandise and bought SCI, 49,, 1856 worth
| of Mexican products The increase of
Mexico's importations from the Uni
ted States in the year was less than
81 100000; the INCREASE of it's sales was
! more than Sc, 00O, 900. The United States
/ occupies the first rank in the foreign
/ trade of Mexico, receiving about 10 per
cent of it's exports and sending about
| go per cent of it's imports. In 20 years
the value of United States goods ship
/ ped to Mexico has increased three
/ times; in the same period the merchan-
disc shipped from Mexico to the Uni
! ted States has sextupled in value.

A STORY OF NAPOLEON.

Alexander Rerthier. like a good |courtier,
had the idea Of giving Napoleon some rabbit.
shooting in a park which he possessed Just
outside Paris. As the park contained no
rabbits he ordered a thousand Of tie animals
to be bought in Paris and turned down on
the morning Of the day. The Emperor arriv-
ed, and after a splendid breakfast repaired to
the coverts. The rabbits. however. instead
of scattering themselves and escaping from
the august sportsman. suddenly collected. first
in knots. then in a body. INSTEAD of hay
ing recourse to a useless fight, they all faced
about. and in an instant the whole phalanx
flung itself upon Napoleon Berthier was
very angry. At once he assembled a force
Of c~oachmen with long whips and darted
forth at their head. Tie rabbits put to fight
Napoleon was delivered, and the incident was
regarded as over-when by a wheel in three
bodies to right and left, the intrepid rabbits
turned the Emperor's flank, attacked HIM
frantically in the rear, refused to quit their
hola, piled themselves mp between his legs
till they made hip stagger, and forced the CON
oueror of conquerOrS, fairly exhausted. to re-
treat and leave them in possession Of the
aeld." The explanation of the phenomenon
was that the "bagmen" Dummies mistook the
Emperor and Sportsnren for the purveyors OF
their daily cabbage. and HID flung themselves
on them With all the more eagerness that they
had not been fed that day.
