or Arkansas is as follows:
Where is the great free silver G;

Where is the great free silver gain
we were told would be hurled up
against the money powers of the east.
1t simply isn't there. The Republican
vote is 1000 greater than it was in
1892, while the Democratic vote is
only 1000 more and the Populist vote
is more than one-half less, and the
Democratic plurality nearly 1,2OO less.
In 1892 the Democrats and Populists
of Arkansas polled 12l, 232 votes. This
year they polled los, lib or nearly 49,
900 voters less. In short, in the two
states the POpocrats lost about &c.
900 votes over four years ago, while
the Republicans gained ABOUT $4,000.
Just where the free SilveriteS can
gain any comfort is hard for the Ordi-
nary mortal to see. The intelligence
of the west will not respond to the
appeals of silver to vicious passion
and sectionalism. But surely if there
is place in all this broad land out
side of the silver mining states where
the Popocratic cause is likely to make
gains, that place is Arkansas. But
the great landslide is not there. And
the indications point more surely each
day that the great middle west will
not contribute to the free silver
strength, but will strongly resent the
insult cast upon it's intelligence by the
free silver orators, that it is party
to their sectionalism and reputation.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1896-09-25
NO FREE SILVER LANDSLIDE.

Previous to the election in Maine
the Popocrats were telling of the
gains they were sure of making in
that state, and also said that if the
Republican majority did not reach
10000 it would be big Popocratic
victory. The election day came and
and they were struck by gale that
nearly equaled tornado in force.
Ever since then they have been busy
explaining how it happened. They
have declared that the result was Just
what they expected, and that owing
to the circumstances they are sur
prised that they made as good Show
ing as they did. They further claim
that Maine is so under the the domi-
nation of the gold clique that nothing
more could be expected, and that the
result cut but little figure anyway.
AS balm to their wounded feelings
they point with pride to Arkansas
and the tremendous majority it rolled
up, and the great gains that were
made over the past. But the official
vote of that state, which has just
been completed tells different story
and shows that no gains was made
whatever in the recent election in Ar
kansas for free silver. Comparing the
official vote Of the recent election in
Maine and Arkansas, with the vote of
four years ago just previous to the
presidential election, it will be found
that while Maine made great gains
for sound money, Arkansas lost ground
for free silver. The official figures for
Maine for the two years are DIS fol-
lows:

be realized and anarchy in it's worst
form would prevail and the republic
would fall. A more outrageous appeal
to men was never heard in this city
than that which Mr.. Towne poured
forth last night He must have had
poor opinion indeed of nthe intelli-
gence OF the people here to insult
them with such rantings.
His talk on silver was largely
string of assertions and insinuations.
A good specimen of his talk can be
noted in his reference to the So in con-
nection with the exchange of barrel
OF flour and quarter of beef, as noted
in our news report Of his speech. Cut
the money volume in two, he SAYS, and
1T does not reflect the exchange, but
let man run in debt 81 1000 under the
$5 conditions and have to pay under
the $3.50 conditions and it takes double
the products of labor to pay it. Now
this statement is wholly irrevelant to
the present campaign, because the
volume of money has not been cut in
two. The act of 1873 did not effect
the volume in the least. The volume
OF money then in circulation was $751;
$751; 800, or SlS.O4 per capita. In 1892
when our prosperity was at it's height,
the volume of money had increased to
ST, 60l, 347, 1877, or S24.44 per capita. In
his talk of cutting the volume of
money in two he is simply talking
about something which has never
happened. The only danger there is
to our money volume is from the very
policy of free silver which Mr.. Towne
himself is advocating, and which if
successful will drive gold out, and sos
reduce our money volume.
