SHERMAN'S PLAIN TALK.
Thinks the Democrats Will Repudiate
the Chicago Platform.

CHICAGO, July 16.-A special from
Mansfield. O., says: Senator John Sher-
man when asked last night what he
thought of the Chicago platform and
nominees, said he thought the Demo-
cratic party would repudiate both Free
coinage would of course result in a de-
preciated currency.
Would free coinage cause rise in
prices of farm products?" said the cor
respondent.
Undoubtedly, but what good would
that do if the money so paid would only
buy one-half what it should or does
buy? There is no use having a bushel
Of money if it will buy nothing"
rs 1t your opinion that the Republic
cans will carry the country this fall?"
1T is. There is every reason why
they should. The bulk of the Democrats
will not vote the Democratic ticket.
am arranging TO go upon the stump
about the 1st of October. The Chicago
Populists did not deal fairly with them
selves. Gold is not worth 200 cents on
the dollar and never was, except dur
ing our late civil war, and the reason sill
yer is to-day only worth fifty cents is
because of its threatened free unlimited
ard independent coinage. Silver is not
Objectionable in itself, but when you go
to pouring il out of the mints ad lib
itum, with nothing whatever save the
Government stamp to fix its value, it
will demoralize the currency. This is

farmers and mechanics OF the Onlleo
States, and absolutely control this elec-
ton. 1t is a great business question,
for on it hinges prosperity for all peo-
pie.
Il look for organization outside OF
both parties, and an issue wholly Oh
business men and not of politics. The
people will be thoroughly educated ON
this currency question before Novem-
ber. / have no fear but what the people
will decide the question in the right
way. There are some Republican farm
ers in my county who believe in taking
free coinage as a dose to cure their i'll
ness resulting from the small returns
for produce, but when they thoroughly
understand the question they would
sooner take jalap than free coinage.
Business merr have made up their
minds to have no more lack of confl-
dence and no more doubtful dollars. A
campaign conducted on this issue can
certainly result in but one way, and
then will come the return of prosper
ity.
IT do not believe in a third party, but
I do not fear it, for one might have a
teniencytoreac some people otherwise
overlooked. I want the situation
treated strictly from a business stand
point. l think that the business move
ment will sweep all the politicians off
their feet when it gets we'll started. We
have had too many politicians any way,
all telling the people how much they
loved them"

CRUSHED UNDER A BRIDGE.

CLEVELAND (O), July 16-A spe-
cial to the Press" from Masillon, O..
tells of a bad accident that occurred at
that place this morning. Buffalo Bills
show has been exhibiting at that place
This morning the band wagon, drawn
by eight big horses, started out on it's
regular trip through the streets Of the
city.
The driver, miscalculalting the hight
Of the wagon, attempted to drive
through the Fort Wayne bridge. The
bridge proved too low, however, and
when the driver saw his mistake he was
unable to stop the horses. They dragged
the wagon in and the occupants were
either scruped off or crushed between
the wagon and the bridge.
1t was at first reported that five or
six of the occupants of the wagon were
killed or fatally hurt. Feller, agent of
the show, says: -Four of our musicians
were frightfuly injured and two will
probably die. The others were not seri-
cusly hurt. We do not know how the
driver miscalculated the hight of the
bridge or how the horses were beyond
his control"

81 am not treading in new paths nor
trespassing upon dangerous ground
when [ tell you that dollar that in
creases in value is not an honest dollar
A dollar that reaps where it does not
sow; a dollar which gives to its pos
SCISSOR an unearned increase, that is
taken from the sweat and blood of those
who toll, and if the American who owns
that dollar desires that sort of a dollar
and forgets the equities of the case.
there is no reason why the producers of
wealth should fall down and worship a
dollar that is destroying them and their
chances Of existence.
But I ann not going to discuss this
question. I want to appeal to you (cries
of go on")-I want to appeal to YOU to
study it for yourselves. And to enable
you to study it intelIigently and to a
purpose, l want to suggest two things
for you to think about They tell YOU
the gold standard is the standard of
civilization-that is their argument. If
they tell you that, let me suggest an
answer that is completes: If the gold
sta ndard is the standard of civilization
why is it that the United States, the
leader in the civilization of the world
has never declared for a gold standard? :?
(Great applause.) If the gold standard
is the standard of civilization, why is it
that no national party in the history of
the United States has ever declared that
the gold standard is a good thing? You
say the Republican party did. No, it did
not. The Republican party declared
that the gold standard should be main
tanned until something else could be
substituted for it, What was that some
thing? daughter and applause). What
was that something? It was bimetallism
And they pledged themselves to get rid
of the gold standard and substitute BIZ
metallism as better thing than a gold
standard. If the gold standard is a
better thing, why should we try and get
rid of it? If it is a bad thing. why should
we keep it for a single moment?
1--WE point to the Republican platform
as conclusive evidence that the principle
of bimetallism is better than the prin-
ciple involved in the gold standard
And if they attempt to admit that a
double standard is better than single
standard and tell us that this nation is
impotent to secure it without the aid of
other nations, we hurl back defiance
and tell them that this nation Is great

Since the national address was issued
about 100 letters and numerous tele-

C. C. Moore of Little Rock, ex-Attor-

toward electing the nominees of the

maintain our manhood and political in
tegrity. Less can be hoped for in Ar
kansas than in any other State. An
overwhelming majority of the Democ-
racy of the State has trained after the
strange gods Of the Populists."

State Democracy of New York City,
telegraphed the result of last nights

fight There will be a meeting of the
State Committee Monday next to hear

The committee favors putting up an

There was talk to-day that A1tgeld
would withdraw from the ticket on ac-
count of the embarrassment which the

Let us remember that they too are at
tempting to serve our country accord
ing to their conscience and in accord
with their Judgment And let this be
a fight of principle, not men. Let it be
a contest, a struggle, if you will over
q great issue, and not a bitter warfare
between contending persons.
But, my friends, while we have all
charity for those who differ from us,
and while we concede to them the right
to wage this war as best they can, and
by every honorable means, to secure
that legislation which they think best,
| desire to impress upon you that you
have an equal right with the people of

to consider and have no one to protect
them but us and if we fail in our duty
there must be neglect. ] believe from

be no lasting prosperity brought back

They tell US that they want conf
dence restored. We tell them that con-
fidence must have a substantial basis
upon which to rest. and that so long as
you legislate value out of property there
is nothing substantial on which conf
dence can rest. If they tell us they want
an honest dollar we tell them that, we
have every desire for an honest dollar,
but when they attempt to define an hon
est dollar we beg them TO give us a dol
lar which is as kind to the man who
produces wealth as it is to the man who
holds it in an investment We ask them
to give us dollar that smiles upon the
man who owes a debt as much as it
does upon the man who holds a mort
