Mrs. J. F. jackson, for the woman's

Gold standard England.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: fou will
please give your many readers light on this
statement made by rabid Populist, thus !:
How is il that the English Government is
under a Gold Standard and her subjects
in abject poverty? If a Gold Standard will
make a Nation prosperous, why not Eng
land?
Please answer this through your columns
next week, if possible.
Your loyal stand on money and pensions
is worthy of special respect from every true,
loyal heart-Republican and Democrat
and ] am sure the old soldiers are fully
aware of the honest struggle you are max
ing in favor of honest money and an honest
Government.
This campaign reminds me very much of
the sentiment in the campaign of 1864. The
loyal, true Democrats voted with we-uns,
the Republicans, to fight the war to finish,
no matter what resolutions the Bryan COM
bination passed at the Chicago Convention in
1864, when they declared the war failure.
As it occurred then, so history now repeats
itself, when the enemy's ranks is strength
ened by men who in all honesty ought 10 be
in line with their comrades. Hurrah for
| Mckinley and HObarti-JAMEs r. CLERI-
HAN, Co. c, 9Th III. Cav, Girard, Kan.
It is not true, in the first place. that the
mass of Englishmen are in "abject poverty
On the contrary, England is the richest
country in the world, and her wealth is much
more evenly distributed among her common
people than in many countries, such as Rus
STA, Italy, Spain, Austria, Portugal, etc. She
has many panpers, as every country in the
world has, and always will have, but MOI hing

questions u England and came near making
himself unpopular by so doing. But if he
chooses to ask question. in the United States
about the McCooks he can be answered
without difficulty.
Daniel McCoOk was killed near the be-
ginning of the war by Gen. John Morgan's
raiders. He was IS years old, and held a
commission as Major.

their way.
