people. So thoroughly has he incurred
the enmity of the moneyed interests
that it is said the banks of Detroit re-
fuse to open an account with him.
When he could not force the street
railways to make a reduction in fares
he used a portion of his wealth to as
sist in the building of a rival line with
the result that a consolidation of the
systems followed and now one can ride

The newspapers of the city are so
violent in their opposition to him that
at one time he had bill boards erected
as a means of reaching the public with
what he had to say.
In the face Of all this opposition the
people have continued to elect him

carried for the Bryan electors. His
declared policy of giving the people
what they want is probably the key
note to his success. There should be

WHY GOLD RETURNS.

The return of gold to this country
seems to come upon the public in the
nature of a surprise. AS yet no lucid
and satisfactory explanation of it has
been offered by those who are supposed
to know all about such matters. The
ways Of fnancfers are mysterious and
sometimes past finding out.
There is one principle which is gem
orally reliable and that is that when
money or anything else goes out of the
country, something comes in in its
stead. What then has caused the out
flow of gold which has been going on
for the past three years? It has not
been used in the settlement of trade
balances because our exports of com
modities have been largely in excess of
our imports.
The most reasonable theory then is
that in consequence of the rapid de-
cline in prices, and the consequent d.
minished revenues of manufacturing
enterprises, railroads and other divi-
dend paying institutions, American Sc
curities held abroad came to be regard
ed as not the most desirable property
in the world and were unloaded at
figure which could not be disregarded
by our own capitalists. This unload
ing process probably has about come to
an end either from a disposition on the
part of foreign holders to hang on to
what is left or from a cessation of buy
ing on this side and it Is now necessary
to pay for our exports in cash.
Whatever the cause Of the change in
the direction of the stream of gold it
augurs better times and a revival of
business activity. Our shrewd brokers
and investors having made all they can
out of the Europeans as well as out Of
our own people, for a while. may now
be reasonably expected to lend their
best efforts to an infusion of life into
tagging enterprises.

BRYAN AND HARRISON.
They Will Likely Stump Indiana at
the Same Time.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 2s.-Mr
Bryan and ex-President Harrison will
likely be in Indianapolis speech max
ing at the same time. When Chair
man Holt was in Chicago in consulta-
ton at Democratic national headquar-
tiers he was told that Mr.. Bryan would
make five speeches in this state during
October. That is the month in which
ex-President Harrison will speak to
arouse the Hoosier Republicans with
speeches from the rear platform of
palace car.
Mr.. Bryan will be in perfect accord
with the chairman of his party's COM
mittee, but ex-President Harrison will
not consent to make a speech in In
diana campaigning if the chairman of
his party's committee is to have any
thing to do with it. 1t is understood
that that is one Of the conditions he
insisted upon in his agreeing to make
an Indiana Oratorical trip. He still in
sists that Chairman Gowdy has insult
ed him, and that he will have nothing
to do with any arrangements in which
Gowdy is to have a directing interest.
The ex-president is to be under the
care, on this proposed trip, Of the Re-
publican finance committee, of which
E. N. Nebecker is the head.

MUST MARRY OR DIE.
Inhuman Parents Give Their Daugh-
ter One Alternative.

ST. Joseph, Aug. 2S.-Isabelle Carr.
a delicate looking girl of IA years, ap-
peared at the office of the prosecuting
attorney in company with Adam
Schlemmer, a neighbor, and told a tale
which caused the public prosecutor to
set all the machinery of his Office to
work.
The girl said her mother and step
father had decided that she should
marry Jesse Cook, a laborer, old enough
to be her father, and had gone to the
court house., where they had taken out
a license, after which they had told her
of their desires.
When she refused to marry him they
beat her numerically, she said, and
then locked her up in a room with
Cook for several hours. She finally
jumped from a window and made her
escape, going to the house of Schlern-
mer, where she told her story and was
given protection
The neighbors are very Indignant at
the treatment to which the child has
been subjected and threatened to
wreak vengeance on her prosecutors.
She said her parents told her she must
marry Cook or die.

ALTGELD ANSWERS BACK.
He Replies to the Charges of Exon
gressman Eorman.

ne 66pl1eS TO the charges OF E8-OOn-
gresham Forman.
Springfield, Ill, Aug. Ex-Governor
AItgeId last night gave out an open
letter addressed to eX-COngressman
FOrman in reply to the recent letter
from congressman Forman to him
making charges against his integrity.
The governor states that Mr.. Forman
emerged from the brush while he was
away from home and made inSinua-
lions against him and attacked two
dead men. He says he makes it a rule
to not notice personal attacks upon
himself as the culninators in time are
buried in their own slime. He terms
the letter of Mr.. Forman as being made
up of malicious, false and slanderous
trash, which has been repeatedly pub
hshed and branded as false and malic-
ious and does not call for any further
notice.
The governor brands every allega-
ton FOrman makes as false and malic-
iOus and states that FOrman knew he
was stating falSehoods when he wrote
the denunciatory letter. He adds that
Forman wanted the position of COM
missioner of the southern penitentiary,
which was refused on account of the
governor having no confidence in For
man. This made him angry and this
letter is the result

nF,KTNLEY,s LETTER.

Major McKin1ey's letter of accept
ance has been made public. If there
was any lingering hope in the minds of
those Republicans who have agreed
with Major AIcKinley's views on the
money question in the past, that he
would rise above the platform dictated
by Wall street interests and stand by
the principles which he has advocated
by voice and vote in the past it must
now be abandoned He has declared
unequivocally for the continuation Of
gold monometa1lism.
In this he has failed to display the
moral courage which characterized
Mr.. Clevelaud's letter Of acceptance in
1892. The Democratic national plat
form of that year while a straddle OF
the money question and intended to be
non-comnfttal, contained possibilities
Of a construction in favor OF silver. Mr..
Cleveland saw this and in order that
there might be no misunderstanding
he took occasion in writing his letter
of acceptance to repudiate the money
plank and to give the country unmis>
taxable evidence that it was not in &C
cordance with his views. Notwith-
standing this he was elected.
Major Mckinley was nominated as
the result of his personal popularity
and the faith which the people had in
him. So strong was their confidence in
the man and so we'll satisfied were they
with his past record that they paid no
attention to the possibilities of the
platform which he might be called upon
to accept. In selecting delegates to
the national convention the sole aim
was to send men who were favorable
to the nomination of Major Mckinley.
The Mckinley sentiment in that con-
vention was so overwhelming that the
old time bosses found it impossible to
overcome it. They therefore turned
their attention to multiplying the will Of
the people in another way. They would
so handicap the candidate in the plat
form that his election would mean
nothing to the masses in the way of
relief from existing conditions. They
succeeded and some of the men who
would have been the most ardent sup
porters of Major Mckinley If the plat
form had been in accordance with his
previously expressed views. left the
believed that like Mr.. Cleveland he.
would in his acceptance stand by his
record and rely upon his personality
for success. They have been disap>
pointed. He has surrendered uncon-
ditionally to the gold power.
The reasons which he declares for his
new faith are such as are read in gold
standard papers and heard on the
stump every day. There is nothing
new in them. They are the best to be
found They will be taken up and dis
cussed in the school houses and public
halls of the country. They are pre-.
sented in the form of mere opinion.
They might have carried greater
weight if they had been supported by
facts.
The letter indicates that the gold
side of the discussion has been made
up. There is nothing additional to Of
fer. When the other side is through
the case will go to the jury of the PEG,
pie. Whatever their verdict shall be
the country will survive. No irremedi-
able harm can ever come from the ac>
ton of a majority of the citizens of the
Republic.
