Charles Kendig, Walter Jordan, Nor

Smith, all residents of Marshallton,
Pa, near West Chester, slsated from
the latter place to this city last Sunday.
The ice was hard, but it was covered
with snow, and in some places was
rough. At Chadds' Ford they had to
get off and walk about mile, but this
was the only place they had this ex-
perience. They came on to Whining
ton, and reached here at 3. 80 in the
afternoon.
AS they did not care to risk skating
back in the dark they decided to walk
home. They left Wilmington at 5.l0
and reached West Chester at 9.l5.
They stopped there for few minutes
and then trudged out the Strasburg
road, on the way home.
Coming down they caught wild

For its Dissolution.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
New York Jan. 15.-The bond syndi-
cate has been dissolved Members of
the government bond syndicate received
in their mail this morning a circular
letter from j. p. Morgan s. Go. releas-
ing them from their commitments TO
furnish their pro rata of 500, 600, 600 in
gold and second 500, 600, 600 If desIr-
able taking their payment therefor in
per cent government bond. Accom-
panying this letter was a circular ex-
planning why the syndicate was formed,
what action was taken on its behalf,
and why it is now dissolved.
The reason given for the dissolution
Of the syndicate is that the syndicate
contract called for a bid of "all or
none, =" and therefore Mr.: Morgan was
unwilling to make bid under tho
present circumstances, as he might seem
to present for consideration by the
Secretary of the Treasury tho throwing
out of smaller bids made in good faith
under the public call.
The only emergency, in Mr.. Morgan's
judgment, which would justify such
course would he the failure Of the
public to respond TO tho call of the
government.
1t has been necessary to delay the
dissolying Gf the syndicate up TO the
present time as every financial interest
required protection afforded by the
knowledge that the syndicate was in
existence, prepared to make the loan
success under any circumstances.

VIM. J. Bryan spoke. in Hartford the

panies, those companies Or rather officers
who are robbing the American people OF
more money than any agency outside OF
the trusts, tWo-thirds Of the money they
take out OF policy holders never getting
back to them. Mr.. Bryan talked to
these gentlemen in their " home
straight from the shoulder. He said:
You have great insurance companies.
Insurance companies are taking an
active part In trying to continue the
gold standard. 1T is not worth while for
these insurance companies to consider
the interests OF the rest OF the people Of
this country. These companies collect
their premiums paid by the people and
then these collections are loaned back to
the people. 1t is not worth while for
these insurance companies to consider
the interests Of the people who furnish
them all the money they have, and pay
all the interest they receive. II you say
the insurance company is trying to look
after the interests OF the people who
hold the policies, I ask you is it not
possible these men, who have sense
enough to pick out agood insurance com.
pany, have sense enough to know how to
vote without being instructed by the
heads Of insurance companiess Re-
member these insurance companies re-
ceive premiums far more than they pay
out on losses, and therefore a dollar

paper currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and its 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 han a crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
publican house, Of %plunglng the country
in debt by hundredso of millions in a 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.
2. That over and above all other ques-
tons Of policy, we are in favor OF restor-
ing to the people Of the United States
the time. 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-
Pile 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-
ton 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 v Q mo
mentous they may appear-to sunder il
need be all former party ties and afiilia-
tions, and unite in one 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.

Bryan will carry every state west of
Pennsylvania and south of the Poto-
mac river. Such Is the deliberate opin-
lon Of those who have kept in touch
with the free silver sentiment which
aow pervades the great producing Sec
don of the United States.
Nothing but over-confdence can lose
this fight. 1t is true that the forces Of
the people are not yet thoroughly or
ganized. A perfect political organiza-
ton Is possible only by the prodigal ex-
penditure Of money. The victims Of
the gold conspiracy are not able to meet
Mark Hanna when 1t comes to raising
money. Every trust which feeds upon
the people IL q contributor to the Re-
publican corruption fund. Every man
who has grown rich at the hands of the
acknowledgement Rothschild syndicate
has been compelled to disgorge a part
OF his plumber and turn it into the cof-
fers Of the Republican campaign fund.
We can and will win this battle in
spite of all the money which the con-
federated syndicates, trusts, and GRIM
inal combines in the United States are
able to collect and squander.
They make much ado about Maine.
Maine Ia not on the political map of the
United States. Neither Is Vermont. The
good citizens of these two states have
no sympathy and are not in accord
with the current thought of the ma
ton. Vermont is the only state in the
Union which showed q decrease in pop
ulation in 1890. The great west ships
corn and wheat into Vermont and
Maine the same as to England and
other non-agricultural countries. You
cannot expect Maine to vote for dollar
wheat. Show Maine how she can in
crease the price Of red herring, and
on that issue you a sweep the state.
Oregon, Alabama, Tennessee and
Arkansas have recently been carried
against the single gold standard by
record-breaking majorities. Against
this gold has carried Maine and YER
mont. Let US see how h score stands
on the electoral votes of these states:
Carried for Silver. Carried for Gold.
