AFRAID OF FEE SILVER.
N. w. Harris & Co. Write to Western
Correspondents.

The following self-explanatory let
ter tells n side of the silver question
in a very forcible manner
Hon. Thomas J. O'Donnell. Denver.
Colo.
Dear Sir-It has been our speciality
for several years to secure capital from
the east and from abroad to develop
the resources of the west and south.
We have thus invested over $40 .000,-
900, of which $40, 900 has been invest
ed in your State of Colorado. Our eX-
p%erience in this line is one OF the larg-
est dealers in bonds in the United
States. has given us exceptional oppor-
tunities to know he attitude of east
ern and foreign investors as respects
the furnishing of additional capital Off
development purposes in your state
and in the sections named.
The information coming to us from
our wide acquaintance with individual
investors, as well as with the large
financial Institutions, all confirms that
any considerable amounts Of eastern
der n circumstances. be brought in
to the west and south until there are
no longer any fears or apprehensions
regarding the country being IN a sill
yer basis.
We should like to see the financial
question so treated by the two great
political parties as to permit Of no eva
sion or lodging. to the end that the
financial policy OF the United States
may be settled this year once for all,
and do away with the financial uncer-
~tainties under which the country has
been trying to do business so many
years.
In our opinion any other lines Of pol
icy than one in favor of the mainten-
ance Of the present gold standard and
against the free coinage OF silver,
whether in the ratio of 16 to l, or in
any other ratio whatever. until fixed
by some International agreement. will
indefinitely delay the return of pros
perity. especially to the west and south
where new capital (only to be obtain
ed from the east and abroad) is so
much needed for the development Of
country's natural resources.
II a financial plank embodying the
above ideas should be adopted by the
democratic national convention at Chi
cago the first week in July, thus insur-
ing its ratification by the people at the
polls in November, we believe such ac-
ton would have an immediate effect
in inspiring business confidence and
reviving comemrcial activity. Yours
truly.

A CONTEST OF EXPERIENCES.

In his speech at Canton on Monday
Major Mckinley said that the contest
this year will not be waged upon the
DRY and speculation, but in the light of
practical experience and dearly acquir-
ed knowledge. What is this practical
experience and knowledge which will
most largely influence the intelligent
voters Of the United States In the i'm
pending campaign?
Four years ago the condition In this
country was one of unexanpled pros
perity. At that time the industries OF
the country were in full operation.
Every mill and factory In the country
vas running and every man. woman
and child that needed work could OBJ
tain 1t at good wages. Under the last
republican tariff law the development
Of manufacturing industries had been
rapid, but with the ample employment
which these gave to labor. thereby
greatly increasing the ability OF the
people to consume, the demands OF the
country kept pace with the supply. At
the same time that the domestic COM
merce was greatly enlarged the foreign
commerce was also very much increas-
ed. The statistics show that the ex-
ports Of the United States in 1892 were
the largest of any year in our history.
What is known as the Mckinley Law
had been in operation less thar two
years and its results in all respects
had surpassed the most sanguine ex-
%pectations Of its supporters. These
facts are indisputable. They are mat
ter OF record accessible to everybody
who will take the trouble to look them
up. They are familiar to millions Of
American workingmen and business
men.
What has been the experience since.
under the operation OF democratic
policy? This also is familiar. for the
country is still under the pail of the
distrust and depression and disaster
caused by that policy. The result OF
the national election of 1892. which de-
creed the advent OF the democratic par
ty to power, was followed almost i'm
mediately by a change |! industrial
conditions. Alarmed at the democratic
threat to overthrow the policy OF pro-
lection manufacturers begun to cur
tail production and every industrial en-
terprise narrowed its operations Busi-
ness men Of all classes prepared for
the new basis Of competition to be
created by reduced duties on foreign
competing goods. There was a univer-
sal feeling that it was necessary to
take precautionary measures against
the revolutionary change which the
democratic party had assured the u
try was to be instituted. Labor was,
as usual in every economic and finan-
cial reaction, the first to suffer and
never before in the history Of the coun-
try was there so great a number OF
people thrown IL OF employment as
during the two years following the ad-
vent OF the democratic party to power.
Never before was there SO great an
army Of American workingmen and
their families subjected to privation
and hardship as in the period OF demo-
cratic control of the government. Ana
even now hundreds OF thousands are
idle, with no hope of lettering their
condition except through the restora-
ton OF republican policy.-Omaha Bee.

KILLED FOR HIS MONEY.

Slain In New York.

Frank p. Arbuckle of Denver, Col.
Slain In New York.
Frank p. Arbuckle, president of the
Cripple Creek and Consolidated Gold
Mining Company of Denver, was found
unconscious early Thursday morning, ly,
ing on the sidewalk in Sth avenue, New
York. He died in the patrol wagon on
the way to the station house, without
regaining consciousness. That the man
was garroted, robbed and murdered is
believed from incidents which occurred
short time previous to his being discov-
cred. 1t is surmised that Arbuckle got
on an elevated train somewhere down
town, and, falling asleep, rode to the end
Of the line. He then got off the train, it
is believed, and it is thought he was set
upon by thugs, knocked down and robbed.
No marks of violence were found on the
body, according to the police except a
slight abrasion on the head. This may
have been caused by a blow from sand
bag or it may have been received in 4
fall. Arbuckle was chairman of the
Democratic State Committee of Colorado
and receiver of the land Office in Denver.
He was an operator at Russell, Kan,
some years ago, and later became inter-
ested in politics and removed te Colorado
where, under the Cleveland administra-
ton, he was appointed land commissioner
at Lamar. He was president of the Den
yer Water Works Company, and was also
largely interested in mining property at
Cripple Greek. He leaves a wife and two
sons, 16 and 1S years of age respect

Such an ordinance has been prepared
by Mrs. John D. Townsend and has al
ready been laid before the Board of AL

which they claim will do much toward
saving the young people of the city, are
mastering all their forces and will pre-
sent strong arguments in favor of the
passage of the ordinance. They have
hopes that the measure will go through,

above the tinted glass ceilings, and not
only in the galleries, but on the Senate
floor, everybody will be more comfortable
by reason of the many novel improve
ments in the reconstruction, heating and
ventilation of the restored chamber. The
temperature in summer will be kept cool
and equable by means of a cold-storage
system, and at all times and seasons the
personal comfort and welfare of the SEN

thus greater inducements and incentives

statesmen to attempt to ''break into" the

The Chamber Dismant1ed.
The entire floor and all the brick walls
ard piers beneath it were taken out, to
be replaced by new iron floor, topped
by a wooden one of cherry. The home
ly, oldfashioned galleries were utterly
demolished, and are now superseded by
handsome balconies like those of our best
up-to-date theaters. The seating capaci-
ty of the old galleries accommodated 1,500
people, but the arrangement of the
benches always resulted in jamming and
disorderly crowding on great field days.
There are only 700 chairs in the new gal
leries, each one a sort of reserved seat, and
when they have all been filled the limit
of capacity cannot be stretched, and thus
will be avoided.
These gallery chairs are remarkable
from the fact that they are supplied with
an original ventilatiug device. Each
chair has two mahogany legs or supports,
and under these, forming a part of the
legs, is an apparatus for diffusing an
equable current of fresh air of the right

and body of the occupant. The air is 70

In his final address to the American
| people Chairman Jones included among
| the causes of Democratic defeat .the
subornati ton of large portion of the
American press" The part played by
the metropolitan press in the recent
campaign will not soon be forgotten by
the American people. But its behavior
since the election has been even worse
than during the campaign.
In generous minds the consciousness
of being victorious brings out a spirit
of magnanimity, or at least n DISPOSE
ton to treat fairly defeated opponents.
In the desire to curry favor with it's
plutOcratic masters, the suborned press
has since the election surpassed any
thing in the previous history of Ameri-
can politics or journalism In the bru-
tality of its. abuse and in the vicious
ness of its blackguardism.
Dispatches from other cities show
that the same TRADE of foul and vindic-
tive abuse that was poured upon the
Post-Dispatch was directed against
every Democratic newspaper, in every
city, that dared to question the figures
of the GOuld-Sage returning board. In
San Francisco, in Cincinnati, in Louis
vile, in Indianapolis-wher there
was Democratic newspaper that pre-
ferred the view of the Democratic Ma
tiOnal Committee to that of the ire
sponsibIe senders of doctored dispatch
es-it was the object of frenZied denun-
citation which amounted to an incite-
ment to riot.
Iii Chicago it was worst of ALL The
Democrats had no newspaper there to
serve as a target for the newspaper
clamor. So it was turned against
Chairman Jones. His treatment by the
Chicago newspapers on Wednesday
and Thursday was disgrace to Ameri-
can Journalism and to the American
people. Because he would not join the
Hanna chorus, but announced his inten-
ton to wait for full and trustworthy
returns before conceding Bryan's de-
feat, he was subject to every species of
abuse and denunciation that the vOcab-
ulary of newspaper hoodlums could
produce.
There was no actual riot, because the
people refused to respond to their news
paper meters. But the post-election
riot of bad language in the gold stand
ard newspapers was perhaps the worst
feature of campaign that as whole
offers little encouragement to believers
in the old-time doctrine that the voice
of the people is the voice Of God.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

Federal court influence in the form of a

tried before Judge Hallett on the charge
of combining to prevent non-members
of the coal exchange from purchasing
or selling coal at prices lower than the
combine figures. This attempt to destroy
competition was resented by an indict-
ment and the verdict was against defend
ants. The result has created considera-
Bile excitement in business circles.
The convicted men view the verdict
with considerable complacency and pre-
dict that they will escape with nominal
sentence. Most of them denied that they
had been in a coal combine, and regarded
the conviction as unjust and influenced
by tho small coal merchants. 1t is ex-
pected that the Intervention of the courts

check upon future attempts to form .

BRYAN WRITING A BOOK.
Will Embody Thorough Discussion
of the Cause of Bimetallism.

VIII Embody a Thorough Discussion
of the Cause OF BimetaI1ism.
W. j. Bryan is actively engaged in the
preparation of a work to be published
about Jan 1. This work will embody a
thorough discussion of bimetallism and
its Importance as an issue in the cam
paign of 1900. Mr.. Bryan has authorized
his publishers to announce that one-half
of the royalties received from the sale of
the book will be used in advancing the
cause of bimetallism during the next four
years. The work will also contain MIR.
Bryan's views regarding the results of
the recent campaign, his biography, writ
ten by his wife, together with special con-
tributions from eminent political leaders.
Another special feature of the work will
be an interesting account of Mr.. Bryan's
trip and the enthusiastic receptions ac-
corded him.
