QUESTIONS
THAT COME UP CONCERNING
THE FINANCIAL ISSUE.
Answers That are Comprehensive and
That Completely Unveii the Faiis-
cies In the Arguments of the
Gold Standard Men.

Many letters come from inquiring
people, with reference to the financial
question. The people are awake to the
Importance OF the question. A Fort
Wayne man writes.
Fort Wayne, Ind.-If have 800 in
the bank now can get gold but 1. free
silver is made a law could get, or would
the bank be compelled to pay the 800 In
goldS A. B. W.
The ability Of national bank to pay
gold depends upon how many depositors
ask for gold. Take the last statement
made by your bank and compare what 1t
owes Its depositors with the amount Of
gold It has on hand, and see how small
the ratio Is. In 1893 the national banks
Of New York city not only refused to FAY
gold to their creditors, but refused to pay
them any money at all, and forced them
to take clearing house certificates or go
without anything. A bank is not COM
pelltd to pay gold now, neither would it
be under free coinage of gold and silver.
Restoring silver to its full money funo-
tlon woulu lessen the demand for gold
and make IL more easily obtained.

A CHILD MARTYR.
Heroic Conduct of Little Girl Who
Died at st. Alexis Hospital
In Cleveland.

Cleveland, o., July 31.-(Special. y
Such mite of little thing was Mary
Lewis, who lived on Grand Division street
She was only 10 years old, but on hei
devolved the care of her baby brother and
sister.
She was mamma to both Of them, foI
her mother died of consumption at ST.
Alexis hopsital not long ago.
Mary was not very strong herself, and
1t taxed her frail little body to care for her
little brother and sister But she did not
give up, and like a little martyr gave hei
life to them.
~ don't think feel very we'll today, u
she said to Mrs. Martin, neighbor,
Thursday morning. She did rot look
very we'll. After talking little while
she sprang to her feet, exclaiming:
Little brother must have his dinner
and have got to make fire." She
patted the little curly haired fellow on
the head and running lightly up the steps
into the house entered the kitchen.
The fire was out, and after piling a
quantity of kindling in the stove she ap-
piled match. 1t failed to burn properly
and fearful lest she get her little brothers
dinner too late, she sought to hasten the
fire. She secured a can of oil and started
to.pour the liquid into the fire. A terrific
explosion at once occurred and she was
enveloped In flames. She ran shrieking
from the house, hut seeing her little
brother in the doorway feared she would
set his clothes aflre and turning about,
left by another door. Her clothes were
burning Hercely and before neighbors
could reach her the fire had died out and
she lay on the ground charred and bleed
ing. She was unconscious and was at
once removed to st. Alexis hospital.
There she remained unconscious until
2 O'Clock when she suddenly opened her
eyes and asked the sweet-faced nurse who
sat beside her II she was going to die.
She was told she could not possibly live.
The little bleeding body slowly rose to
kneeling position and with her two
oharred hands clasped together she prayed
"Please, God, let me live, for am the
two babies mamma"
Then she fell over dead.

RUSTIC WIT
TOO MUCH FOR THE wEARERS
OF GOLD BUGS.
A Gold Standard Man who Boldly De-
ciares That Bryan and Free
Silver Will Likely Carry Ohio
at the Coming Election.

Washington, July 30.-(Special y
Judge r. N. Otter, prominent Demo-
cratic politician of Ohio, Is In the city.
Though a gold standard man, Judge
Otter Is not shutting his eyes to the
political changes that are taking place In
bis state and has the courage to express
his views, even II the situation be contrary
to his opinions.
In speaking Of the political situation
In the Buckeye state, Judge Otter has
this to say: 81 never saw such situation
In politics before Many waves of senti-
ment have swept over Ohio, but have
never seen anything like the present.
There is hardly anything but silver
talked throughout the state. The men
around the thresbing machines. at the
lunch counter the groups around the
country stores, and about the village
hotels, Republicans and Democrats, head
to head, are talking about the money
question. Men who never before could
talk together on politics without punching
each others heads, are hand in hand or
are talking the matter over from different
sta ndpoints in sympathetic spirit. II
any one says gold there will at once be
half doze n men TO jump on him. 1t
makes little difference how much fallacy
there is in their arguments, these country
folks think they have mastered the ques-
tioni and they can put in sixteen words
to one Of the man who tries to show them
that they are wrong.
81 had gold bug on my coat A
farmer came up to me and took hold of
my coat collar and held the gold bug but
ton up to view. That's the gold bug
that got into our wheat he said, and
reduced 1t so per cent The rest all took
1t up and thought it good thing. There
was no sort of argument could put up
to outweigh this rustic wit That sort of
thing goes for arguemnt. 1t is silver,
silver, silver all through the country dis
tricts.'
Placing the normal Republican ma
jority at $4,000, Judge Otter claims that
there are $4,000 Populist votes and 20, 900
Prohibition votes in the state, of which
number Bryan will, he says. probably
receive $4,000 Populist votes and about
$4,000 Prohibition. This being the case,
he declares that 1t is by no means certain
that Mckinley will be able to carry his
own state.

ing rooms over Martins saloon, near the
Fort Wayne railway, where the attempted
murder was committed last night
The young woman has several times
been sent to the workhouse from police
court In this city, her love for strong
drink being the cause of her downfall and
frequent arrests.
When examined by physicians last
night, the victim of the deadly knife was
found to be In a precarious condition and
little hope is entertained for her recovery.
After committing the crime, Wilson
made no effort to escape, but was found
near the house with his face and hands
covered with the unfortunate woman's
blood. He was taken to the Massillon
city prison, followed by q large concourse
of citizens who gratifled their morbid
curiosity by gazing at the prisoner.
Wilson is not known here and little is
known of his past life. He will not be ar
raigned but will be held pending the re-
suit Of his bloody nights work.
Word came from Massillon at o'clock
this afternoon that the injured woman is
resting easily, and is able to converse
with her friends. 1t is believed that she
will ultimately recover.

Here is another inquiry, from Van
Vert, Ohio:
will you please give an answer through
the columns of your paper to Secretary
Carlisle's five so-called axioms9
Silverite.
The next time single gold standard
advocate quotes Secretary Carlisle's So
called axloms, read him the following,
which we copy from the Salt Lake City
Tribune, Republican newspaper:
/. There is not one free coinage country
In the world today that is not enjoying
unexampled prosperity, the only draw
back being foreign debt contracted on
the gold basis.
2. There is not gold standard country
in the world today the property of which
has not shrunken from 35 to go per cent.
during the last 81 years mot one in which
there Is not unexampled depression, dis
tress and sorrow.
3. There is not silver standard ooun-
try in the world today that has any need
Of gold money except to settle foreign
balances, and there is not gold standard
country in ali the world today that the
bulk of all the gold is not locked up In
the treasury or the banks, and the people
are suffering from "sound money
asphyxia.
4. There is not silver standard coun-
try in the world today where there are
any idle deposits lying in the banks, all
the money being in active circulation and
drawing large interest, and the ciroula-
tion per capita in the United States OF
real money Ia just about what it is In
Mexico, nearly all the money of ultimate
redemption being mid away In the vaults
Of the treasury and national banks.
8. There is not silver standard coun.
try In the wolrd today where the laboring
man is not receiving full pay and more
regular work than he ever received be-
fore. There is not gold country In the
world today where vast proportion OF
the people are not idle, and where wages
are above the rates of 1894, except where
they have been maintained by the stub,
born persistence Of the labor unions.
8. There is not silver standard ooun-
try in the world today where the people
are not doing better than ever before.
There is not gold standard counsry
where the people are not In more distress
and suffering more loss and more appre-
hension than ever before.
