TILLMAN ON TARIFF AND SILVER
Free Coinage Sentiment Growing
Every Hour.

Denver, April ia special to the
News from Hastings, Neb., says:
A News representative met Senator
Tillman at Tecumseh. Asked as to the
political outlook, Senator Tillman said:
II have discovered much stronger
spinal column among the silver demo
Gratis. In fact, heretofore it has been
"A sort of jelly affair. The pressure at
home among the constituents of Sena.
tors and representatives and the ncca5-
sity for progressive action have pro-
duced great change. Men who would
not speak to me In December are grow
ing more chummy all the time The
outlook Is altogether favorable for the
democratic convention to be controlled
by the free silver wing. News at Wash
ington is coming in from all the states.
Senators and other free silver men re.
port that we are going TO be in control
at Chicago.
Il don't suppose It's any secret that
am not going to stand on any demo-
cratic gold bug platform. I won't have
it. AS to the outlook, Senators Jones,
Harris and others have the details. We
expect to have one-half of Michigan,
Indiana, Ohio, all of Illinois and the
Kentucky would be all right if some
one would go there and stir them up
That's what l went for, to put a blister
on their backs. | never had a wilder
hotter, more enthusiastic crowd than
that at Lexington last Saturday, The
harder Cleveland was hit the better
they liked it.
The panic is chronic. They told us
in 1898 and 1894, and they tell US now,
that prosperity would return "a soon as
confidence was restored. Now they
propose to cure the thing by increasing
the tariff When the consumer is stag
gering under all he can bear they adj
VoCate piling on more. Foreign money
lenders own the country. They own
the courts and the railroads. They
charge all that the traffic viii bear, and
the farmer Sroans under the burden,
unable to make living expenses after

want any change IN the monetary sys-
tenn when she can buy the American
