A DEBATE AT HOLDINGFORD.
Good News From Stearns County.-The Silver
Sentiment Strong ana Growing.

OCHCiHSuI strong aha VPOWlnR.
Editor Representative
On last Saturday evening, at this place
what was announced as gold standard
lecture. turned out to be a most interest
ing and instructive silver lecture c, S.
Mcclure. of ST. Cloud, attempted to defend
Mckinley and his party followers in a well
written essay, and in justice to the young
man, who showed such bravery in SO large
a silver audience, will say he did WELL
But E. 8. Mcclure must remember he is
too young man, not only in years, but In
the study Of the principles he advocates to
come before intelligent and enlightened
an audience as greeted him at Holdingford.
At the end of Mr.. McClure's reading, by
the courtesy Of the chairman of the meet
ing, Mr.. r. +. Roach, of Avon, was permit
ted to address the audience on the silver
question. Mr.. Roach, though no orator
made his stentorian voice heard throuehou.
the hall, and the very brilliant essay of the
former speaker was literally torn to pieces
Every point Of McClure's essay was ably
put forth In the light Of the question, and
it was plainly evident by the enthusiastic
cheering of the audience that Mr.. Nc
Clure had indeed made many converts to
the opposite side from which he intended
With the able and eloquent speeches Of
j. X. Bennett, Joshua Mayhem, and F. r.
Roach ringing In the ears Of the people Of
Holding. and with their own intelligent
study upon the issues of the day, it is USE
less for any gold advocate to make an i'm
preston upon the minds of our people
without producing stronger arguments than
any they have yet produced.
Our Bryan, Towne and Lind Club is in
creasing rapidly in numbers, and there is
little doubt but that silver will carry our
town this fall.

Never mind. though labor waste and
childhood starve. The gold standard must
be maintained, that the individual profits OF
bankers and lenders be not curtaiicd.
None are SO blind as those who will not
see: none so deaf as those who will not
hear
learn, cousin, that you intend taking the
stump for Mckinley and gold standard.
There are many who will applaud you. The
money changers; lawyers, whose interests
lie in the direction Of mortgage foreclosures
and abstracts. All classes who prefer to
absorb the earnings of the masses by
cunning and fraud will cheer you.
Many bond and industrial slaves who do
not yet understand the source of this bond
age will praise you. There will be others
listen to you: men and women who have
felt the bondage grow more bitter each
passing year; boys and girls. l. TO a years
old, who have read ''Ten Men of Money
Island Mrs. Emerys Seven Financial
Conspiracies,'' COXey's Cause and Cure"
or Mrs. Hobarts Errors In Our Monetary
System" They may not be able to con-
trast between wage fund, theory and law of
diminishing returns but they will be able
to contrast between the "conceit Of Il coll
lege boy and the sound arguments of sensi-
BILE men and women" Their feelings will
be akin to those of the fellow slaves Of
Uncle Tom toward 'Sambo and Quimbo,"
who beat out the brave life from their
brother bondman, Uncle Tom, at the bid
ding Of their demon master, Legree. Af-
fectionately your cousin.

posely SO emasculated the act that as the
old commoner, Thaddeus Stevens, author
of the bill, declared, 1t provided one and
a superior currency {golCD for the bondhold-
ers, and an inferior and deprecated cur
rency for the people. and SO it proved. And
who has forgotten how they forced the gov
eminent to borrow millions in greenbacks
at 40 to 60 cents on the dollar in gold. and
then compelled the government to legislate
the bonds up to liz cents on the dollar In
CON- at which they were paid; so that even
John Sherman was constrained to protest
and declared that 1.-The existing relations
between the public creditor and the tax
payer is one by which the former enjoys all
the blessings of government without cost
receives without dimunitiOn higher rate
of interest than your courts would enforce
between citizens. and may demand pay
ment for the principal In gold for paper
lent. while your courts refuse to enforce
special contracts for the return of gold for
gold. Such a system cannot endure in
government not entirely despotic without
creating discomfort that may endanger the
performance of the public engagements.
In the painful process Of reduced prices and
shrinking values to which we are coming,
the people will see that the untaxed pro-
ductive annuities of the bondholder alone
will be increased in value, while all other
forms OF property will be reduced So
John Sherman foretold the present low
prices and reduction of values in the coun-
try as consequence of government finan-
cial policy. and not from overproduction,
and any other process held out by modern
political Oratory as the cause of our
troubles and tribulations
