p. M. Arthur Hit Campaign Lie on th'
Head, and Hit it Hard.

Chicago, Oct 27.--The republican ma
tional committee to-day out the follow
ing:
Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. 2s.-To the work
ingmen of the United States:
ITO .refute false statement, as we
sincerely believe it to be, and correct
an impression that our friends ana ac-
quaintances have formed concerning
our signatures to campaign document
going through thousands of the press
and circulated broadcast on the streets
entitled, Proclamation in which 1t ap-
pears that we are in favor of free sill
yer at any ratio and substantially the
establishment of two standards or
money, contradictory as the terms may
be, we wish to be recorded by all who
are interested in our position, as being
emphatically and unequivocally against
any such measures, but are for the
sound money plank promulgated by the
republican convention at st. Louis.
Our signatures were obtained nearly
ANS~NANN~-N~
tending to be Memorial to congress
then in session, which in our belief and
memory was a much nlilder paper than
is the Proclamation referred to-. And
no matter what our opinions may have
been on the money question at the time
Of our signing the memorial nearly
three years ago, we have learned
enough since on the subject to warrant
us in denouncing attempt at free coinage
of silver at 16 to 1, believing 1t to be
directly against the interests of labor
and also believing that under condi-
tion of free silver coinage this country
will be subjected to one of the most
frightful panics that any country in
this world has ever seen.
"Our belief in this statement is
strengthened by an admission made by
William j. Bryan, candidate for presi-
dent, in recent speech in the north
west, wherein he is reported to have
said that he thought that a free silver
condition would bring, for the present,
stagnation and panic, but from which,
in four years, we would recover
1--WE do not believe that this country
can stand an additional four years Of
misery and distress and are therefore
opposed to the sentiments contained in
the aforesaid proclamation
(Signed) Very respectfully, P. M.
Arthur, grand chief Brotherhood Loco
motive Engineers.
"F. P. Sargent, grand master, Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen.

be learned from the best sources of in
formation the rumors put in circulation
In Wall street to-day, as to the proba-
bility Of a warlike message from the
president on the Cuban affair, and a.
possible extra session of congress have
no foundation in fact. and were set
afioat for stock jobbing purposes only.
There have been anticipations that
Spain, failing to negotiate the loan she
is trying to place on the European
market for the further prosecution OF
the war in Cuba, Nigh seek to provoke
some antagonism, short of actual war,
with the United States in order to allay
excitement at home and to give plaus-
ible reason for the failure to suppress
the Cuban rebellion. This possibility,
it is understood, was discussed in CAB
met meeting ten days ago. There have
been no new or startling developments
since, and none Is expected.

room and in it will be placed three bill
lard and three pool tables. On the
second floor in the rear of the billiard
room are two fine card rooms. The
third floor will be fitted up into
chambers for the use of the stewards
and other persons employed about the
building.
Opening out Of the parlors and on a
level with them in the new addition,
second floor. is a large hall, which will
seat about 500 The club has always
needed such hall for debates and en-
tertainments, and several entertain
ments will probably be held there this
winter. On the ground floor of the ad-
dition there will be stores. A very
complete modern steel bowling alley
has been arranged, extending through
the basement of the old building and
the annex with windows for light and
air, opening into the west yard. This
will be one of the finest bowling alleys
in the city. The presidents of the club
up to the present time have been Judge
William X. Townsend James A. How
arth, John r. Manson, A. Nc c. Mat
IL,
erick B. Farnsworth. Mr.. Farnsworth
was elected in the summer of 1892 to
serve for the rest of that year, B. Dex-
ter Hubbard, who had been elected the
previous January, having resigned in
the middle of the campaign. Mr..
Farnsworth was reelected president in
January, 1898, and in every year since
that time. He has infused into the
club his energy and perseverance and
it is owing in great part to his efficient
management that the club has so
grown in membership and been in ev-
cry way successful in the last four
years
The property of the club is held by a
Joint stock company composed of mem
bers of the club, with a capital of $4,000.
This stock company was organized in
May, 1892, for the convenience of doing
business, and the affairs of the club and
stock company are separate and dis
tinct. The board of directors of the
company consist.of five members up to
July last, and was composed of the
following gentlemen: John f. Gaffey, S.
H. Dawson, j. P. Goodhart, James A.
Howarth and F. l.. Averill. In July
the number of directors was increased
to nine and the following additional
members of the board were elected

James A. Howarth is president of the
board and A. Nc G. Matthewson is
secretary and treasurer
The alterations in the newly purchas-
ed club home are progressing rapidly
and the entire building will probably
be ready for use by November Is with
the exception of the large hall which
will probably not be ready before De-
cember |. The committee having in
charge the improvements yesterday
awarded the contract for the gas and
electric fixtures to Bradley and Hub
bard of Meriden, the lowest bidders.
The contract for painting was let to
John H. Platt. The carpenters yes
terday nearly completed laying the

THE POPULIsTs' FERTILE BRAIN.
Sample of Story Which Will Come in
Showers from Now On

Showers from Now On.
Lynch of the peoples party state COM
mittee to-day said:
within the past forty-eight hours I
have received 500 letters from different
sections of the state saying that loan
agents are notifying mortgagors that
in case Bryan is elected they will
promptly foreclose every mortgage as
fast as it becomes due, and that insur-
ance agents say they will cancel all pol
icies in the same event. The letters
state that in every township in the
state where the farms are heavily
mortgaged and where the silver senti-
ment is strong one of these agents can
be found.
'"The republicans have made care
full poll of these townships and know
who have mortgages, when they are
due, how the mortgagor intends to vote,
his nationality. whether he can be in
f1uenced, etc. This information is Civ
en- to this agent so that he knows how
to work each person. Some agents say
that Bryan intends to demonetize gold,
and that there will be no gold to pay
gold mortgages He tells others that
if Bryan is elected gold will go to a
premium and it will take two silver
dollars to get one gold dollar; and that
therefore it will take twice as many
dollars to pay the mortgage if Bryan is
elected as it would if Mckinley is
elected.
He tells the farmer that nothing but
pure love for the farmer induces these
banks, loan companies and insurance
companies to call on him and warn him
against danger; that these companies
are opposed to any law that would
compel the farmer to pay them twice as
many dollars as he borrowed

Aspirants for tho presidential nomi-
nation at the old party conventions must
satisfy the gold ring of New York rs to
their position on the money question
Perry Belmont, one Of the bosses Of the
ring, has served notice that he is now
ready to hear from the gentlemen who
are before the public rs possible candi-
dates. The New York Times says:
Perry Belmont yesterday expressed
his opinion of the Allison and Mckinley
money platforms, and also asked some
pertinent questions that would be can
didates for the presidency may find it
difficult 10 answer, in the light Of their
past declarations and the general de-
mand for Sound money and a conf
dence inspiring financial policy
Tho questions New York wishes an
swered by each candidate are these, ~
said Mr.. Belmont:
Do you intend resolutely to main
tain the present unit and standard of
value, which is gold dollar of 20 $40
grains:
Do you intend to promote a silver
unit Of value, either alongside Of, as in
1892, or displacing the gold unit:'
Do you intend as a bimetallist that
silver shall be kept, as now, inferior to
gold, and, unlike gold, be excluded from
the freedom of our mints?'
do You intend to try to make any
part Of our public debt payable i'll silver
dollars?'
Do you wish silver to be full le-
gal tender for a private debt calling spe-
officially for gold dollars?
Do you intend that any part of the
greenback debt shall be redeemed by the
treasury in silver dollars?'''

SILVER DEMONSTRATION.
A Fit OF History with Which Many Are
Eariiliar, hut Which All Should Know.

! A Fit OF History with Which Many Are
! Fariiiiar, hut Which All Should Know.
| In 1871 Germany, which had pre-
\ viously been silver standard country,
| took step toward establishing tho gold
standard by providing for n gold coin
| ego and stopping the coinage of the
larger silver pieces. In July Of 1873 tho
work was completed by depriving tho
| silver coins of their legal tender.
The thalers (dollars) began to be call
| ed i'll by the government, melted down
and sold until about 10000, 0OO CT
| them had been thus disposed Of. Ger
many's reasons for thus changing her
| standard have never been satisfactorily
given. We will not stop to investigate
| that matter, for wo arc moro concerned
with the action Of oUY own country.
AS early rs 1867 tho project had been
mooted of establishing the gold standard
i'll tho United States, and from that
time on it was quietly talked Mt tho
treasury department by q few senators
and representatives and possibly in the
highest banking circles. But it was new
err discussed in public, and tho people
were never consulted with reference to
their wishes.
In 1868 tho weight Of tho half dollars,
quarters and dimes had been reduced
about ~ per cent, their legal tender
limited to SO and their coinage on pri-
vate account stopped. This was intended
to prevent their shipment abroad, the
effect of which had been to make these
small coins scarce, causing Inconvenience
to those needing change.
But, Director Preston to tho contrary
Notwithstanding, it was in no sense q
decentralization of silver. Tho dollar"
remained full legal tender, and its
coinage was unlimited. Although pri-
waite individual could no longer have his
bullion coined into half dollars, quar-
tiers and dimes, no could still have it
coined into "dollars, " and these dollars
wero lawful money the samo as the gold
dollar.
But On tho 18th day of February,
1873, the mint law was revised, and the
standard silver dollar was dropped from
the list of coins. a trade dollar ~
grains heavier was substituted.
AS there wero but few standard silver
dollars then i'll the country, this amount
ed practically to tho demonstration of
silver. The trade dollar was not intend
ed to be legal tender ut all, but when
the general revision Of tho statutes took
place early in 1874 tho legal tender of
all silver coins was fixed ut So. This
made the decentralization of silver COM
plete III tho United States.
Silver was no longer available except
Ill small sums not exceeding So, and our
vast debt. public and private, instead of
being payable i'll coin" of either metal,
became payable il gold nlone.-Nation-

Rhody Deserves the Prize.

A correspondent Of the Chicago Post
discusses the ambiguous and straddle
declarations on the silver question in the
Republican platforms Of Ohio and Iowa,
and closes his letter thus: The prize,
however, must be awarded to the Rhode
Island Republicans. They solemnly de-
clare that they want financial policy
which recognizes every dollar to be of
equal value to every dollar" How
lucid. defuite, simple. precise This
may mean gold, silver, bimctallism.
paper--in short, everything and any
thing. The Rhode Island Republicans
evidently do not know what the world
is doing and saying. They do not know
that there Is standard" question to
settle, and cannot be expected to take
sides. This at least is charitable SUD-
position, for if they do know they must
be adjudged guilty of transparent and
impudent humbug.

England and Silver.

No ono expects England to open her

parliament within the last few DAYS is
gratifying to those who wish she would

We believe it is a most encouraging
symptom and that it will not be long be-
fore silver coinage in India is resumed

British parliament been willing to make
any concession whatever, and l would
