After all the wild and extravagent
clllms of gold bug papers during the
past six weeks. the national republican
and democratic committees agree on the
following figures as to states:

Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana,

Those claimed as sure for Bryan are as

Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Ken.

ippi, Missouri, Montana. Nevada, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South

ing, 30 electoral votes or 4 less than
enough. These claims are undisputed
| by either side. Then there are Delaware,
West Virginia, Kansas and Nebraska
which are claimed by both sides as sure
for their respective candidates. Mime
sofa is the only state not claimed by
either committee. So it would appear
that the republican papers have been
running a great big game OF bluff, &c
which silver people would do we'll te
give no heed in the future.

How FREQ Coinage Would Affect the
Farmer Who L.

How Free Coinage Would Affect the
Farmer Who Is MortSaged.
From The Cincinnati Enquirer.
How would the free Ii unlimited
coinage OF silver affect the farmer who
hal a mortgage on his farm?
2. How would 1t affect the one old
ing the mortgage? OHIO FARMER.
/. The only way in which a farmer
usually raises money to pay his mort
gage or the interest on 1t Is by selling
his products. If these are constantly
falling in price it Is the same as though
his mortgage and the interest on 1t
were getting greater. In other words.
1t takes a greater number of bushels of
his products to procure the same num-
Der of dollars. Suppose, instead Of Dor
rowing 81 900 n agreeing to pay $50 a
rear interest the farmer had borrowed
1000 bushels of wheat when wheat was
worth 81 a bushel. and had agreed to
pay sixty bushels of wheat per year in
terest. There then would have been no
doubt OF the fairness of the transac-
ton. If he had borrowed 1t for ten
years he would have delivered sixty
bushels of wheat every year, and at
the end Of ten years would have re-
turned 1000 bushels of wheat. n eve
rybody would have said that he was
an honest man. The farmer who ten
years ago, however. borrowed 81, 900
and agreed to pay $50 a year interest,
has found that he has had to give more
than sixty bushels per year to pay his
interest, and that IL his debt Is now
due, 1t will take more thar 1000 BUSH
els Of wheat to procure 81. 900 to dis
charge the debt. In other words, cal
by year. the dollar has imperceptibly
increased in value until, within twenty
three years 1t has, become twice as val
liable when measured in all commodi-
ties In general. The farmer does not
understand how this has been done. He
knows that II Is very distressing to
him. but II he objects he Is told that
he ts an anarchist and a repudiator.
and the man who demands twice the
value he oaned Is considered honest.
The free and unlimited coinage Of gold
and silver would stop the fall in prices
Of farm products.
2. The lender Of money should re-
ceive, when the oar Is due. money
whose purchasing power Is the same as
that which he loaned. He Is entitled to
no more; h, should receive no less. The
trouble with the gold standard Is that
PEAR by year it has been giving an IN
earned increment to money lenders and
holders of securities calling for a. fixed
number Of dollars. We maintain that
by using all the gold and all the silver
we could get as money we should have
q dollar whose purchasing power would
not be increasing year by year. and
thereby robbing the debtor. At the
same time 1t would return to the cred
itor the full amount to which he is
Justly entitled.

Ever since about three weeks after the
Chicago convention the gold bugs have
had the rsilver craze" as they called it
dying out. Once in about every two
weeks the announcement Is made that
this and that state is now for the first
time assured to the republicans and
many conversions to the gold bug party
are being made. Then this same story
will be repeated a few weeks later in
the same terms just as il the campaign
had begun all anew and the state been
regained q second time. The fact Of the
matter Is the republicans will have to
keep up that sort OF talk until the close

Democratic Committee Makes q New Es.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2.-The Democratic
state committee has received returns
from 200 school districts of Missouri.
In every instance the canvassers have
been cautioned to be exact in their fig.
ures. so that they could be relied upon.
These 200 districts show an increase
over the Democratic vote of 1899, as
we'll as that of 1894. which was 1.-The
landslide" year. Taking the increases
as shown yer the vote of 1892 it seems
that William Jennings Bryan will come
to the city limits of st. Louis with q
plurality of nearly 100, 600. There are
1000 townships outside Of st. Louis.
The state committee claim they can
carry St. Louis. owing to the Filley.

hold the power to control and regulate
paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and it should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States OF interest bearing bonds
in time Of peace, and We denounce as a
| blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
publican house, of plunglng the country
in debt by hundreds Of millions in q vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and We demand the
payment Of all coin obligations OF the
| United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option OF the government and not at the
option of the creditors.
.. That over and above all other ques-
tons Of policy, W. are in favor Of restor-
ing to the people OF the United States
the trme. hOnored money OF the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money OF Washington, Hamilton,
jefferson, Monroe, Jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American peo-
pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated 100 per cent above all the
great staples Of the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived Of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
| tion alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people Of the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other ques-
tions, however important and even mo
mentous they may appear@to sunder If
need be all former party ties and aftiilia-
tions, and unite in ~ supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination Of the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has ever been fastened upon civilized
man OF any race or in any age And
upon the corsummation Of our desires
and efforts we invoke the gracious favor
OF Divine Providence.

The manifestoes Of Tillman and lrby
respectively have created a queer sltua'
tion 10 Laurens county. The Laurens-
Vile Herald, owned by Postmaster
Crews, has been edited for years by bis
sou, W. T Crews Young Crews has
lately shown decided preference for
Tillman over Irby, and an approval SO
marked of the formers political pro-
gramme that his father, the postmaster
who not long ago had to step in and
uusay what bis son had said in endorse
ment of Tillman's senatorial attack on
Cleveland-has been prompted to reas-
sume the editorship Of The Herald
He signalizes his return to active jour
nalism by deuouncing Tillman'e counsel
as "perniciously bad" and by warmly
commencing Irby's stand. Unless
Tillman recedes from his position,
Postmaster Crews says, he "sball be
reluctantly compelled to part company
With him." 10 the meantime it is an
nounced that Crews, the son, who is
not postmaster, is about to start a
paper called the Free Silver Demo
crat." backed by Senator 1rby's eoe-
mics, and the natural inference is
drawn that it will support lillman and
fight Irby. Laurens county this year,
with Tillman against Irby and Crews
fills against Crews pere, will be mighty
