IOWA ALL RIGHT.
The Farmers Out There Have No Patience
with Cheap Currency Quacks.

Hon. V. h. DollVer of Fort Dodge
Iowa, who is to take part in the Maine
campaign, arrived from the West Sat
urday evening ana left Monday after
noon for Carmel, for his first meeting
last night. When asked by a Journal
representative about the political stu
alton in Iowa, and the West, Mr.. Dol
liver said:
Iowa will stand firm for SOUND
money and Republican principles The
political leaders of the state are already
predicting the largest majorities fol
the Republican ticket this fall that the
state has given since the Garfield cam
paign. The fiat money craze never has
gotten Il foothold in Iowa. greenbacil-
ism, even, never flourished in our state:
and this year the Intelligent farmers
refuse to he bcguled by the Demo-
cratic promises to help the business
conditions of the country by debasins
our currency
The fifty cent dollar has no attrac-
ton for any class of our citizens. who
having come in large numbers from
Maine and New England, have never
lost sight Of sound political principles
The condition that exists in Iowa is a
fair type of the state of affairs all ovel
the West; and the national committee
men at Chicago, told me that they had
every reason to believe the Republican
standard bearer would carry every
Western state that ever gave a Re
publican majority and several that
have heretofore been counted in the
doubtful list.
OF the situation in Maine Mr.. Dolli-
' er said he heard nothing but the most
encouraging reports and that every
sign indicated a sweeping Republican
victory Mr.. Dollver is accompanied
by his wife. who is a daughter of eX-
Governor Larrabee of Iowa.

mind, why not take pointer
from shrewd capitalists? If
they can afford to hold similar
lots why can't you do a little
speculation yourself? We say
that they will be worth doable
the present prices within two
years. That is, your in
vestment will earn you so per
cent. a year. But our shrewd
capitalist friends say you have
set the price of your lots down
to less than halt what we con-
slider them worth now.
