THIS FROM A NEW YORKER, TOO.
mr.. Thurber. the Grocer King, Has O
Word to Say.

Mr.. Thurber. the Grocer King, Has n
Word to Say.
Henry X. Thurber, of New York, is
at the head of the largest grocery
house in the world. He is a student
of finance. He believes the people
of this country are entitled to consid-
GRAFTON In financial legislation.
Here is what he says:
I'VE say that gold monometallism
can have but one effect, and that is to
make the rich richer and the poor poor
er; that we do not want the same
state of things here that exists in
Europe. and that gold recommendation
will go very far to bring around that
state of affairs.
THE single gold standard advocates,
In order to succeed, must carry with
them a large rumber of voters whose
best interest is to have bimetallism,
and hence the cries of '50-cent dollarsv
sound money! echoed and re-echoed
in the papers controlled by the money
classes.
Friends, did you ever stop to think,
first. that every man who is living on
the interest of his m, ney is in favor
OF a single standard of gold? And, sec
ond. that ii is not because they love
the masses of the people better than
they do their own financial welfare?
II am and have been since the
foundation of the party a Republican
and favor a protective tariff. but in
this election shall do all can to
assist in the election of the Democratic
nominee for president. 1 believe this
country is in no condition at the pres
ent time to be forced onto a permanent
gold basis.
I'VE all know that we have been
passing through troublous times. ! be-
lieVe that the great reason is that we
have been tending toward gold mono
metallism; that If this country votes
for the free coinage of silver we will
see an entirely different state of things
come to pass; that our property will
rise in value; that our products will
bring more money; that the financial
pail that gold monometallism has
thrown over us so long will be imme-
diately removed.
Il urge my friends to examine this
subject, and IL they believe as I be-
lieve to vote and work for the election
of Bryan and Sewall"

REV. ISAAC w. HlGGS,
National Partys Nominee for Governor OF
Illinois, Resigns and supports Bryan
Altgeld and Free Silver.

Rev. Isaac w. Higgs has resigned
the nomination of the National party
for governor of Illinois, and has ac-
companied his resignation with an ad-
dress to his party from which the fol-
lowing is taken:.
Il am also constrained to say that
I shall cast my vote and influence in
support of the Chicago Democratic
platform and it's candidates, and would
be glad to have every Nationalist in
the state do the same, as believe that,
next to the National party, the Demo-
cratic party best represents the inter
ests of the great mass of the common
people, and suffrage to the ppapapapa
people, and that in the future the
privileges and the liberties of a free
suffrage to the wage earners of the
nation will largely depend upon the
result of this coming election"
Rev. Mr.. Higgs makes a strong ar
raignment of the great corporations
for coercing dependent labor, denounces
the political methods of Wall street, as
exploited by Henry Clews, and closes
with a strong appeal to the members
of the National party to cast their
votes for Bryan and Altgeld and free
silver

that twenty-seven out of every 100 who
voted for Bryan voted for Harrison in
1892, while only nineteen out of every
100 who voted for Mckinley voted for
Cleveland in 1892. Here is a net gain
OF per cent. for Mr. Bryan.
1t will also be seen that ten votes
are cast for Palmer to every 100 cast
for Bryan. This table also shows that
these changes from Harrison to Bry-

from him 10 per cent. of his vote which
will go to Palmer, as shown by this ia
