NOW THEY'RE LYING.

Shiawassee Ex-Republican Free Silven,es
Driven to Old Democratic Methods.
The price of wheat is going up, the price
OF silver is going down; the condition in
free silver Mexico is becoming known; a
full realization of the attempt to break down
the most important branch of our govern
ment, the supreme court-the branch which
may be used by the humblest citizen for
protecting his life and property-is coming
over the American laborer and farmer.
Practically every so-called argument that the
free silverites had has failed, and now they
are trying to deceive by lying.
Chas. Taphouse is foreman of Woodard's
lumber yard and stronger and better in
formed sound money man can not be found.
In the yard are 20 men, 10 of whom have
signed, of their own free will, the McKin-
ley club roll, the other man being a demo-
crat-an honest democrat-he will vote for
Palmer. Mr.. Taphouse is a club member
and an enthusiastic one and became a menu
Der while l.. e. Woodland was in favor of
silver, or had leanings that way, which,
later, by study, have been removed and he
is now on the list. From letter received
by Mr.. Taphouse from Nelson LeMay, of
Byron, 1t appears that G. r. Lyon stated In
a speech there that he had refused to sign
the silver club roll while in the presence of
Mr.. Woodland, but had signed it later III the
back yard, and that others had done the
same. Concerning this Mr.. Taphouse wish
es us to print the following:
Owosso, Oct. IA, '96.
NELSON LEMAY, BYRON, MICH:
Dear Sir: am member of the McKin-
ley club. shall vote for Mckinley, and hope
every honest laboring man and farmer will
do the same. AS to G. r. Lyons story It is
contemplate fa,sehood. When asked to
sign the silver club list 1 said, mo, GER
tainly not" and when asked il 1 should be
put down as doubtful, replied in language
perhaps more forcible than eloquent, but it
had the desired effect-the silverite sneaked
off. The back yard statement is such an
one as Is necessary for the silyerites to use
In Owoss0, for we haye 20 men here and
everyone will vote for Mckinley with pos.
sibly one exception, and the whole city, 1
believe will go about that way. If there
was any excuse for Mr.. Lyons not knowing
my stand it would be little different, but
1t appears to me that like the other dis
gruntled ones, he would do anything to win
but realizes the hopelessness of it. Nelson,
you tell the boys that IL the county, the state
and the country go as Owosso's labor vote,
that Bryan and all the other Office seeking
floppers will be left out In the cold at 10 be-
low zero. CHARLES TAPHoUsE.
Such statements as that made at Byron
are just what the republicans want the OPP
position to make, and just such as will give
the entire republican ticket an unprecedent-
ed majority.

Zach Chandler on Coinage.

Senator Zachariah Chandler. on the last
day of his life, as he was about entering the
valley of the shadow of death. in his speech
In Mccormick hall, Chicago, October 81,
1879. uttered these significant words, which
appeal to us with striking force today:
"But they say, There is one thing that
we know We are right on, and that is the
free coinage of silver Every man who
holds IS cents worth of silver shall 20 to the
treasury of the United States and take q
certificate of deposit for 100 cts, which shall
pass as money. This was the Warner bill.
Now, today the laboring man can take
the gold, or silver, or paper, as he chooses.
for his days labor. 1 am In favor of the
dual standard. 1 am in favor of the silver
dollar with 100 cents in 1t. am in favor
of an honest dollar anywhere you can find
1t, and stand by an honest dollar. Today
the laboring man can take gold. or silver. or
paper, and they are all Of equal value, be-
cause they are all interchangeable into each
other. The paper dollar costs almost moth
ing; silver dollar costs this government IS
cents-a fraction more now; 1t has been a
fraction less. But all three are of an equal
value.
Now the very moment you commence
Issuing those certificates of deposit freely to
every man having bullion (silver) you ban
ish gold from your circulating medium and
make 1t an article of traffic and nothing
else; and you have but a single standard
and that Is deprecated standard.
Now there is paid out in these United
States every day for labor alone, $4,000, 900.
BY compelling the substitution of the silver
dollar alone, you will swindle the laboring
man out of $500, 900 day. The laboring
man who receives dollar gets but IS cents.
The man who receives $40 week, gets
$3.50 and no more. The farmer who sells
a horse, or load of lumber, or load OF
wheat, or anything else amounting to 500,
receives but SIS, and no more.
You have but one single standard and
that the silver standard, which, having BAN
ished gold, is worth precisely the metz
that is in it. Who is benefited by this
substitution? Why, my friends, not liv.
ing mortal is benefited, except the bullion
owner and the bullion speculator."

Wednesdays Runaway.

If there ever occurred miraculous escape
from serious injury, not to say death itself,
1t happened Wednesday afternoon at ten
minutes to five o'clock, at the corner of
Washington and Main streets.
James Delany's team with heavy wag-
on, loaded with corn, was coming down
Park street with Jimmie O'Day holding the
the reins. When near The TIMES Office
they took fright at piece of paper in the
road and began to run away. The boy
held on to them as best he could, steering
them away from the city hall, which they
tried to run into. The wagon box and
driver were thrown off in front of ID. +.
Blair's shop, while the team dashed on and
people held their breath, for coming east on
Main street was buggy containing Mrs.
Frank Mack and four year old daughter,
Florence and Mrs. Ed. Shaw, who had been
driving. Mrs. Shaw turned the horse
around Just In time for the maddened team
to strike the buggy in the rear, pushing
them all for distance of thirty feet to the
street car tracks, where all were piled in
struggling, dangerous heap. Ready hands
held the horses heads down and assisted the
ladies, who we're In fainting condition, to
photographer Beebe's gallery. The little
girl suffered only slight abrasion of the
skin on one hand.
Mr.. Mack was In Murray q Terbush's
store, and Dr. j. ID. Crum, the physician of
both families, was near when the accident
happened. The ladies were taken almost
Immediately to their homes, Mrs. Mack's
being at 200 and Mrs. Shaw's at 214 south
Oak street. The ladies were badly bruised
but no bones. were broken. Mrs. Mack
seems to have been injured the most and it
will be some time before either of them
will recover from the intense fright and
shock of such collision.
The driver, Jimmie O'Day, Is young
lad and the general impression was that he
did the best he could. His knee was badly
hurt when he was thrown from the wagon.
1t was some time before the crowd dis
persed and the many eye-witnesses of the
runaway agree that the escape from death
Of the ladies and child was little short of
marvellous.

Farmer Browns Dilemma.

We had public meetin in the schoolhouse here
last week,
And Teller from the city was invited down to
speak.
He'd studied up the subject of finance in every
light
And claimed that he was competent to show
US what was right
He says this whole blamed country is a-goin
straight to smash
Unless we get free coinage and increase our
stock of cash
He's figgered out n daisy scheme and claims
twill work immense.
He wants to make our dollars cost US only fifty
cents.
He'd take "four bits of silver and would run
it through the mint
And stamp it plain "one dollar" with the gov
ernment's imprint.
The mines would dump their silver, and the
nation. slick as grease.
Would grind out brand new dollars at Just fifty
cents apiece.
That sounds all right, but since that night
somehow I've often wondered
When buy dollars for fifty cents who'll take
'em for hundred.
