ted at Chicago OF TO support the
avowed Populist nominated for the
Presidency has not been more clearly
stated by any one than by ex-GOv-
ernor Buckner, of Kentucky, in a
letter to the Louisville CourierJou
nal. The sturdy old Democrat says:

snrnort their action. This | have
always done, even though differing
in some Of the minor enunciations
of the platform. But when the as
sembled convention purposes to rev.
olutionize the party, when it repud-
iates every vital principle of the

principles policies which the party
has combated for a century, such a

Mckinley and Hobart are not only going

Bierbauer, of Idaho, writes for Mckinley

MeC onnell are whOoping things up for the
ticket and Senator Shoup, of the same
State. verbally states his belief that Idaho
will cast her electoral votes for Mckinley
and protection. A letter received from
Utah says: "Some of the Republicans
here are off on the free silver tangent, but
they do not like blue eyed Billie's tariff
speeches, and between free silver and free
trade, they will probably stick to their old
party." A Californian writes There

The Rev. Charles w. Drees, repre-

Methodist Church in South America
for nine years, with headquarters at
Buenos Ayres, is IN Springfield, o.,
and in an interview, says;
"The experience of South Ameri-
can countries with deprecated cur
rency has aroused a desire among
all classes for stable money. This
is especially the case in the Argen-
tine Republic, which years ago had a
paper currency which deprecated
until what originally represented the
standard of 100 cents was worth but
four cents. / have heard the SER
wants ask if they should take $500
worth of milk, and learned that the
people were accustomed to pay just
as much for a sSreet-car ride, and it
cost $500 to send letter to Eu'
rope. A metallic currency was sub
stituted with paper representing a
gold basis. As long as the paper
was redeemed its value was main
tanned, but doubt arose as to the
governments ability to redeem it,
gold went to a premium, the curren-
CIV deprecated, and the gold and
silver disappeared from circulation,
