"Triumph of the Silver Cause Would
Mean the Moral Decay, the FL
nancial Ruin and the Po-
litical Dishonor of the
American People,"

Emporia, Kas., Oct. 6.-(Special Some
time ago the Journal referred TO a current
rumor that Major Calvin Hood was sill
yer man. This impression, in some way
appears to have been given out by way of
10 to / argument by the free silver speech
makers. In setting himself right in the
public mind. and by way of contributing
his support to sound money. Major Hood
to-day gave out for publication the follow
ing:
II there were no other issue before the
people than that which imperils the nation
al credit and the business honor of Amer
icans-and there are other issues-the crisis
woElc be grave. We are a debtor nation
and our national progress depends upon
OR ability to keep our credit good 1t is
not our fault. nor the sign of any flaw that
We are a debtor nation. We are a young
nation. We have done in a century or
two what Europe has been many centuries
doing. We of the West have been doing
on borrowed money what the seaboard
states and the countries across the ocean
have been generations accomplishing. The
money which has been poured so freely into
Western America represents the small saw
ings of four and five generations in Eu-
rope and New England of people of mod
crate means. The debts that we
owe were all contracted upon the
gold standard. which has been in effect
for over a generation. To offer 10 pay
them in a cheaper standard would not only
paralyze credit. and through that our busi-
hess, but il will taint us with dishonor
from: which we may not recover in a CEN
tury.
Never before have l faced a question
in which the sentiments of high manly
honor and shrewd business sense and wise
political policy have been so absolutely
woven into one chord. The triumph of
the silver cause would mean moral decay,
the financial ruin and the political dis
honor of the American people. 1t would
put premium upon the spendthrift's folly.
by discrediting the thrift and frugality of
the honest creditor. whose savings would
be divided by payment in deprecated
money. 1t would stop credit. upon which
all business must be done. and with busi-
ness stopped industry would be idle and
ton of the currency, making debt paying
easy, would tempt demagogues to advocate
a still further depreciation. and thereby
ride into favor on the wave.
Bryan would have his Successors. until
politics would put Il premium upon the
most extravagant political claptrap. The
honest man in politics. who promised no
other way to wealth than the old ia hioned
one of saving. industry and foresight,
would be banished for the shyster with the
most rcseate promises. Here in Kansas.

in dealing with Populism, we have had an
illustration in small way of the threat
ened danger that faces the nation in a
large way.
What 1 mean by moral decay and finan-
cial ruin and political folly is this: Since
the Populistic craze came to Kansas, a
certain class of men have ceased to worry
very much about their accommodating debts
They hope the government will help them
out. They have became blunted in their
nice sense of honor; they don't care who
is wronged, SO their accounts are righted,
The small savers of the East have become
alarmed at the menace OF Populism and
the dishonest laws they have attempted to
put in force, and as result the current
rate of interest has gone up per cent
since the state first developed Populist ten
denotes. This places the business men of
Kansas at disadvantage in all their
transactions: it cripples Industry in Kan
sas just that much. and the poor man who
has to borrow money is the first sufferer
and the last.
"And class OF politicians has sprung I'D
which is disgracing the state. These men
promise all sorts Of panaceas for the re-
lief of those in debt. They have made bor-
rowers believe that the man whose money
they have borrowed is dishonest. They have
insidiously taught dishonesty, and they
have made 1t difficult for a man who
breaches business integrity and personal
before certain kinds of Kansas audiences,

has been calamity to the state; what
would the same experiment cost the ma
tion?''

nation and as individuals have been con-
tracted on a gold standard. They must
be paid upon that standard. At no time

serious talk of paying debts in depre-
ciated currency. That which would help

trophe to every acre of land in the coun-
try.
THE election of Mckinley as president
will give us a statesman known. tried and
true; and the election of Morrill, as gov
ernor of Kansas means that Kansas will
stand for honesty of purpose. 1t is peril
nent to ask. under what political party
has this country best prospered. The Re-
publican party invites criticism of its rec
ord.
These things are written in the spirit of
fairness to all. l know that many of our
friends have been deceived by the Sophis-
try of place hunters, and yet l believe that
the honesty and good sense and political
wisdom of Americans will prevail. To go

Bath, Me-, Oct. 6.-Hon. Arthur Sewall,
Democratic candidate for vice president of
the United States, tonight made public his
letter of acceptance. 1t is as follows:
Non. Stephen B. White Chairman. and
Members of the Notification Committee.
"Gentlemen:-I have the honor to ac-
cept in writing, as l have already verbally
done, the nomination rendered by you on
behalf of the Democratic party as its can
didate for vice president of the United
States. And in so doing. 1 am glad, first,
to express my satisfaction that the plat
form Of our party which has commanded
my lifelong allegiance. Is honestly and full
ly declaratory of all the principles and
especially of the absorbing financial issue
upon which, as you say, took my stand.
when the hours of triumph seemed re-
mote and when arrogant money-changers
throughout the country boasted that the
conquest Of the American masses was COM
pleted.
"These principles have been Of late in
allegiance. but only because those whom
we trusted to maintain them have failed
to do so. These principles can never die.
We have. rescued our party from those
power. have controlled and debased it. Our
mission now is to rescue from this same
power and its foreign allies our own be-
loved country. This is the first and highest
duty imposed by our party's platform:
upon the performance of this duty all other
reforms must wait. The test of party prin-
ciples is the government they assure, the
proof of good government is a contented
and happy people, and the supreme test
OF both is the ability to guide the country
through crises as we'll as to administer the
government in ordinary times.
Our people now face a crisis, a crisis
more serious than any since the war. To
what party shall they turn in their dire
emergency? 1t is true that the present
crisis may not involve all equally; that
there are those who do not suffer now
and may not suffer should the crisis
threatened by the gold standard come on
in all its fury. Human selishneSS makes
these deaf TO all appeals. but to these,
fortunately. the Democratic party has new
er needed to appeal to win its battles, nor
does it now, save as there are some among
them who can rise superior to self in the
sacrifice which such crisis demands of

the farmers, the miners, the fabricators in
the factories, the trainers of the nation S
wealth in peace, its defenders in war?
Have they the prosperity which was theirs
so late as even twenty years ago? deny
it: they deny It: none affirm it save those
whose interest," 1t is to do so. whose profit
would diminish as prosperity returns; to
those on whose distress they thrive.
