FROM A BUSINESS MAN.
A Chicago Merchant Speaks Out for
Restoration of Bimetallism.

A Chicago Merchant Speaks Out for
Restoration of Bimetallism.
One of the bright signs of strength
for the free coinage movement is the
support it is beginning to get from
business men. The manufacturers
of the country, or, rather, those
whose mills are owned by American
home capital, are largely for free
coinage, as, witness the sentiments
of their great organ, the Philadel-
phia American. The small mer-
chants, especially those who do trade
with agricultural constituencies,
are largely for free coinage. But
occasionally some of the biggest
representative of an exclusively
city trade speak out for the restora-
ton of bimetallism. John V. Far
well, the big Chicago dry goods man,
expressed himself short time ago
on the money question. ut cuts
little figure whether wages are high
or low if people cannot get work,
and l do not think that ever before
in the history of the country there
were so many people out of employ
ment as now. AT least / never
knew such pressure here in
Chicago. The trouble back of all
our trouble in this country and the
world is lack of money! mean real
money, redemption money, not
promise money; for all money which
has to be redeemed in some other
money is only a promise to pay aud
is potent cause of panics. The less
real or redemption money there is
the more valuable it is, and, of
course, the lower the price of prop
erty. When this great nation de-
monetized silver they cut the
quantity Of redemption money in
two and wellnigh doubled its value.
1t was tremendous profit for the
money kings; for you must remem-
Der all the securities which they
hold are the same as gold, and when
they push up the value of gold they
enhance the values of their securities
along with it."-Penny Press.

it would die out until the Chicago

delegates were for silver. Ever
since then we have been told by the
Republicans that silver sentiment
was dying out. The silver senti-

views are beclouded, will be de-
posed.
The State committee has been pro-
vokingly moribund since the Chica-
go convention, owing to the pres
ence of the persistent gOld-bug ele-
ment, and hopeful effort to Democ-
racy has been made by it. This is
attributed to the uncertain attitude
of Senator Hill and an unwilling
ness to do anything which Hill
might disapprove. The program,
therefore, involves the retirement of
State Chairman Hinkley, National
Committeeman Sheehan, the nomi-
nation of a good ticket, the indOrse-
ment of Bryan and Sewall and the
Chicago platform, and the appoint
ment of Il vigorous campaign COM
mittee. This determination was
caused by encouraging reports, and
was not intended ten days ago.
Senators Jones and Faulkner de-
termined upon this plan of fighting
for every inch of ground in New
York after hearing yesterday a
score of leaders representing all sec
tiOns of the State, assuring them of
success. Among these were eX-
State Treasurer Danforth, Congress-
man Sulzer and Henry Cornell.
These men have canvassed all
through the State during the last
two weeks. They declare positively
that Democracy on election day will
90 to the Harlem river with a ma
iority. Senator Faulkner said:
II am not surprised at this news.
For four weeks l have been noticing
the rapid crystallization of Bryan
sentiment in New York. Every day
from this State come 1000 requests
for literature, 100000 pieces having
been sent in response
Hin May BE Saved.
Jones and Faulkner still have
faith in Hill. They believe he will
attend the State convention, take
part in its deliberations and accept
the result. If he should not go,
they believe he will make known
his loyalty in an open letter after
the convention. Senator Jones says
