English and Spanish in Mexico.

1t is my observation that Americans
have not the lingual faculty. A Ger
man or Frenchman will pick up more
Spanish in a month than an American
will in a year. I have met countrymen
Of mine who have lived most of their
lives here without acquiring it, but L
have never come across a foreigner
who could not make a good showing in
d fortnight. Spanish, however, is a
beautiful language, musical and easy
to learn. Its construction Is simple,
and, what Is Of no small moment to the
student, it is pronounced precisely as
written. An hour d day for six months
should give a fair command of it to
any young person Of average intelli-
gence.
The statesmen now directing the af-
fairs of Mexico are alive to the impor-
lance Of languages. They have to deal
with a people who love their language
and are tenacious of custom. yet see

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The follow
ing address was issued from the Demo-
cratic congressional headquarters to-
night:
To the Voters of the United States
In the preliminary battle Of the people
against plutocracy the people have al
ready won. In spite Of an expenditure
Of money so large that the civilized
world stands appalled, at its magnitude
today, a large majority Of the people
of the United States are in open revolt
against the merciless gold standard and
the domination of the country by the
syndicated wealth of Europe and Amer
Tea interested in securing or prevent
ing legislation and in controlling the ex-
ecution of the laws in their interest.
All that is necessary to secure the reg
istering Of the peoples will is to see that
every voter comes to the polls and casts
an unpurchased ballot. Many of the
millions collected by the syndicate have
been reserved for election day. Beaten
at every point, the last resort of money
is to buy the ballot of the voter by pur-
chasing his absence from the polls or
to coerce his vote by intimidation. To
prevent this is possible If every patriot
will do his duty. Every member of a
club must go to the polls early on the
morning of election day, cast his bal
lot and remain there until the polls close
and the result is announced. Take care
that every voter gets to the polls and
casts his vote. Note down the name of
every absent voter. Let 1t be known
that the citizen who fails to vote. unless
prevented by extreme illness, has either
been purchased by the money of the
corruptionists or is otherwise unworthy
to be called a citizen. All signs indicate
the overwhelming triumph of the people,
and to no organization is the credit due
more than to the clubs, the peoples or
ganizations, created for no selfish pur-
pose than for battling for the liberties
of the people as in the days of their
founder. the illustrious author of the
declaration Of independence. (Signed)
James K. Jones, chairman national
Democratic committee; Charles J.
Faulkner, chairman Democratic con-
gressional committee; Chauncey F.
Black, president national association

SYNDICATE MONEY
Is the Only Influence Which Threatens
the People.

WASHINGTON. Get. 29-Secretary
Edgerton of the Populist national COM
mittee today issued the following state
ment: 1.-THE preposterous claim made
by the Republican committee in regard
to the election of Mckinley are made
with the idea of fraud in all the doubt
full states. Mckinley, on a fair vote, is
beaten now by an overwhelming ma
jority. Yet, in the face of this, they
make claims of an enormous majority
for Mckinley, but give no figures to back
up their claims. They depend upon out
right purchase of voters and election
boards to furnish the majorities they
are predicting"
Mr.. Edgerton then cites a number of
states claimed by the Republicans and
presents counter claims and figures to
show they will be carried by BRYAN.
and continues:
why do they make these claims?
Simply because they are depending, not
on any evidence which they now have
of victory for Mckinley. but upon what
they think Mark Hanna immense cam
paign fund may do.
1--WE have evidence that in the cleo
ton next Tuesday fraud will be at
tempted on the most stupendous scale
ever known in American politics. One
plan is to buy UP election boards, and,
wherever possible, to actually falsify
the returns. But the plan on which they
depend most is as follows:
"In each precinct of each of the doubt
full states they will buy up purchasable
men in this way: They will give man
$40 or SIS and pledge him that after
election they will give him so much more
If he holds the vote of that precinct to
a certain figure. They will buy as many
men in each precinct as they can find
for sale. Already in each of the doubt
full states they have cappers bought up
by the hundreds to handle Republican
money on the last two days before elec-
tion and on election day. and the plan
will be not to buy men outright, but to
give them SO much money with a pledge
to double the amount If they hold the
vote Of the precinct to certain figure.
I'VE have indisputable evidence that
this is the plan on which Mark Hanna
