CAN'T GO To FAIRS.
Marc Hanna Says That Republican
Orators are Wasted There.

Chicago, Sept. 2l.-Marc Hanna has
decided that political speakers shall not
be sent to county or State fairs.
why cannot speakers go to the
fairs?" was asked Mr.. Hanna.
WELL" came the answer from the
director Of the campaign, the average
attendant at a county or State fair is a
great deal more interested in the six.
legged calf, the sword eater, the balloon
ascension, the parade Of prize stock, the
trotting races and the patchwork ex-
hibit than in the intricacies of the
financial question or the benefit of high
tariff. The people listen to the speech
for about three minutes and then hurry
away to buy red lemonade. The speak
ers only serve to increase the gate re-
ceipts, and that does not gain votes,
according to the manner in which the
national committee views the situa-
tion."
The statistics Of occupations COM
piled from the official census of 1890
show that about 8S per cent of the peo-
pie engaged in gainful occupations in

they have fallen in gold countries during
the last twenty-three years, we must ex-
pect the unit to appreciate about 2K
per cent yearly. This adds annually
more than $500, 900, 600 of burden to the
$40, 227, 900. 900 Of debt now existing in
this country.
The gold standard therefore straps
upon debtors an annual tax equal to
more than four times the cost of the
German standing army.
On the farmers alone the increase in
burden is near to s6O,OOO,OOO a year.
Think how many clothes must be
patched, toes 60 cold, backs be bowed
to toll and housewives go insane in
order to meet that unjust payment.
But this is question of prosperity
as we'll as question of justice. The
gold standard hurts not debtors alone,
but the entire producing body. The
slow fall of prices it entails strangles
industry, as did the rapid fall of prices
in the panic year of 1893.
The gold standard means simply
chronic commercial crisis and hard
times. The workingman need not think
he can escape the handicap producers
are under because he gets the pay for
his product advanced in the form of
wages. The idea that wage-earners
benefit by the gold standard will take
rank with the fear Of the G-cent dollars
as one of the two chief absurdities of
the campaign.
The delusion that free coinage will
cut the purchasing power of the dollar
in two is the offspring of dense igno-
rance of monetary science. Where could
the 800, 600, 900 additional dollars come
from that should permit twice as many
dollars to be paid away in every transac-
ton in the countryi
What we want is to stop further fall of
prices. Imitation is not contemplated,
and will not occur to any considerable
extent. | should be astonished if, after
five years of free coinage, the American
dollar should purchase fifteen per cent
less than it does now.

From the Kansas City World.

the United States are engaged in agri-
culture, and inasmuch as the people in
the great agricultural sections of this
country are interested in and attend
State and county fairs, they will no
doubt appreciate the above compliment
~ by the Republican manager of Mr..
McKinley's campaign. His statement
that THE average attendant at a county
or State fair is great deal more inter-
ested in the six-legged calf, the sword
eater" etc., than in the intricacies of
the financial question or the benefit Of
high tariff is an insult to the intelli-
gence of the agricultural people of this
country, but is in thorough accord with
Hanna's general estimation of the great
common people.

MCKINLEY ENDORSED

AN EYE-0PENER FOR HANNA

Special to the Republic.
Canton, O., Sept 29.-The contents Of
letter written by Major Mckinley six
years ago to a friend, in which the
major stated he was for free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver, has come to light.
1t was sent to E. S. Perkins, of Wey-
mouth, O., then a member of the State
Legislature. A copy of the letter fol-
lows:
Committee on Ways and Means,
House Of Representatives, Washington,
D. C., September q, lSsO.-To Hon.
E. S. Perkins, Weymouth, O.: Dear
Sir-I have been so busy for the past

for me to give any attention to matters

minis are closed in anticipation of the
repeal of the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act. They will surely be re-
opened in anticipation of the remoneti-
zation of silver by the United States, if
the bimetallic system is approved by
the American people in November. In
the twenty-five years prior to the clos
ing of the Indian minis, the worlds out
put of silver was 300, 100000 ounces.
OF it the Indian minis coined $3.50, 900, =
600 ounces. There has been no pros
perity in India since the minis were
closed to silver, and England has felt
the depression there keenly.
France, l believe, would follow the
lead of the United States, and other ma
tions would rapidly fall in line. Wages
naturally would rise with prices, just as
they did during and after the gold boom
in California in 1049. Wages doubled
in the twenty-five years following the
discovery of gold in California, and
were higher, relatively, than products.
Editor Lloyd Of the London Statist
was disinclined to talk at any length.
He has been advising British investors
of late to avoid purchases of American
securities until after the election.
Il do not know what to say regarding
the present situation" he observed.
Il take great interest in the coming
election, but at the same time do not
care to offer an opinion.
But this | may confidently say-that
l believe far too much has been made
of the great danger of the situation, for
| have not the slightest doubt that,
whatever takes place, matters will ad-
just themselves in time. The Ameri-
can people are quite capable of seeing
things in their true light, and any pol
icy approved by them, if found to be
inexpedient, will be set aside and
abandoned. This is the history Of
American legislation.
Mr.. Lloyd declined to enter into a
more specific discussion of the question,
saying that it would be impertinent for
stranger to force his views on the
American people.

AN ENGLISHMAN ON SILVER.
The Leading European Countries will
Follow the United States.

New York, Oct. 9.-The Campania
from Liverpool and the Paris from
Southampton came in this morning,
laden with talent. Among the notable
arrivals were Archbishop Martinelli,
successor of Cardinal Satolli; Secretary
Herbert, Colonel Tom Ochiltree and
Moreton Frewen, vice president of the
BImetallic League of Great Britain :;
Thomas Lloyd, editor of the London
StatiSt.
Moreton Frewen is here to study the
political situation and to see for himself
how the people view the currency ques-
ton. He is tall, straight, natty-look-
ing Brlton and is perfectly at home
in New York. He is brother-in -law of
Lady Randolph Churchill, having mar
ried one Of the daughters of the late
Leonard Jerome.
l have come here" Mr.. Frewen
said, TO watch the election. Advocates
of bimetalliSm the world over are in
terested in it. | believe that if the
United States admit silver 10 their
minis at the ratio of 16 to l, the Eu-
ropean nations will follow suit. Agri-
culturalists everywhere want silver. In
Germany the Agrarian party is strongly
IN favor of the double standard. NJ.
Mellne, the new French prime minister,
is an enthusiastic bimetallist. l have
talked with leading men of many coun-
tries IN Europe, and the general senti-
ment is that if the United States take
the lead in the movement, silver will be
restored to its old place in the currency
of the leading nations of the world.
E'Very probably" Mr.. Frewen added,
in reply to question, the election of
Mr.. Bryan would result in temporary
panic in the stock market. Timid in
vestors in England, who are ignorant of
the silver question, and who trust en-.
tlrely to the London bankers, might up.
load their holdings on the market. But
the trouble would speedily subside and
everything would settle down nicely
and everybody would be better of.
l think that you will be able to coin
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The silver
OF the world will not come here. Why
should it, when European silver has
been coined at 15A to II Of course,
they have stopped coming it, but even
at that, you could scrape> Europe and
you would not get more than Is. 600 600
ounces of silver bullion.
/ will stake my reputation as a pro-
phet on the prediction that England
WILL in the event Of Mr.. Bryan's cleo
uon' reopen the Indian minis. These

COST OF THE GOLD STANDARD.

Prof. Edward A. Ross, Professor of
Economic Theory and Finance in the
Stanford University, says in an article
written for the San Francisco Examiner
Of September q:
am unquali6edly in favor of imme-
diate free coinage of silver by the United
States without waiting for the action of
any other nation.
The justification for this lies in the
frightful cost of the gold standard. If
prices continue to fall in the future as

revolution. 1t was an act which, in
stead of being misrepresented by those
who have found it out and nailed it to
the gibbet of public contempt, has never
been adequately denounced. 1t was an
act which has positively blackened the
honor of the American republic. TWAS
an act which, though subsequently de-
Tended, even to the present day, by all
the purchased ability of the world, is
nevertheless condemned by the con-
science and common sense of mankind
as the most cold-blooded, unjust, I'M
called-for, unmitigated and damnable
outrage ever done in this century to the
rights and interests of a great people,
The conspiracy Of the International
Gold Trust seems to have triumphed.
The indignation of the people against
it has been of no avail. That power
which became organic as a bondholding
class in America just after the close Of
the civil war, has, by its league with
the financial system Of Great Britain,
succeeded in trampling down truth and
justice, in choking the protests of
mighty people, in destroying their in
dustries, in reducing them from pro-
prietorS to tenants, in taking away the
rewards of labor and enterprise and in
establishing condition which tends in
evitably to the early and permanent in
stitution in the United States of peas
antry subordinated to the will and
purpose of their masters.

THE CRIME OF 70.
What John Clark Ridpath, the His
torian, Says About II.

Words are inadequate to describe
the profundity and criminality of this
scheme 1.-THE demonstration of silver.
1t was carried into effect by the act of
February IS, 1873. 1t was done by a
turn of Shylock's wrist, so adroit, and
one might say devilish, as to be indie
scribable in the phraseology of this
world. 1t was an act on which no king
of the seventeenth century would have
ventured without mourning the risk Of

minis to foreign countries without
charge, as proposed by gentlemen on
the floor of the House. My purpose
was to secure immediate legislation that
would credit and dignity our silver
coin. | believe the law which we en-
acted this session will accomplish that
result. 1t utilities every dollars worth
of the silver product Of the United
States, and even more. The value of
that legislation has already been APP
parent in the enhanced value given to
silver. You may remember, as indicat-
ing my position on this subject, that
voted to pass the silver bill in the Forty
fifth and Forty-sixth congress over the
veto of President Hayes. | shall be
very glad to write you at any time upon
any subject you may wish to be in
formed upon. With me, political and
economic questions are conviction, and
while ! may not always be right, | am
always willing to let those whose suf-
frage | seek know exactly what they are.
Very truly,
WILLIAM MCKINLEY, r."
In explanation Of this letter Mr.. Per-
kins makes the following statement:
The foregoing is a true copy of a
letter now in my possession, received
about October l, 1890. The fact that |
was an Outspoken silver man and chair
man Of Medina County Republican
Central Committee will account for the
letter. 1t certainly induced the most
ardent support Of Major Mckinley in
his contest for congress by myself and
other silver Republicans to whom
showed the letter. D."
