WHERE IS HE AT2

Senator David BILL is political eel.
At the very moment you think you
have grasped him, he slips through
your fingers, and he is not there. At
the Chicago convention he was most
ardent advocate of the single standard
and fought the free silver heresv as only
he could. A lit1l later he invites candi-
date Bryan to dine with him at his
home in Albany. A little later he is en-
gagged IN manipula ting state conven-
ton which adopts silver platform,
dominates gold man for governor,
who accepts the nomination, then re-
considers his acceptance and finally
declines to be the candidate of his party
And Mr.. Hill is charged with putting
the whole machinery in motion. know
ing every move that would be made from
first to last. And now New York dis
patch to the Chicago Times herald
says;
The Democratic leaders have decided
to be patient no longer with Dayid B.
Hill. Within FIVE DAYS he must declare
his exact position or be read out of t he
party. The parties to this decision are
Arthur Sewall, Senator Arthur D. Cor
man, State.Chairman Elliot Danforth,
John c. Sheehan, Executive Chairman
Truman and Hugh MeLauehli of Kings
county. For several days they have
been talking the matter over, and Mr..
Danforth went to Albany to get per-
| sonal answer from Mr.. Hill. If Mr..
Danforth reports that Mr.. Hill refuses
to declare himself, an address to the
Democratic voters of the state will be
issued. 1t will emanate ostensibly from
the state committee, but will have re-
ceived the approval Of the national
leaders. This address will review the
Democratic political events of the last
four months. will endorse the action OF
the Democratic conventions, will ar
raign the gold boilers and ask all unde-
cided leaders who. while disappearing
the Chicago platform. seek to retain
control of the organizations, to step
down and out. No more deception will
be tolerated. Senator Hill will pro5ab-
ly be mentioned by name.

The Towne Meeting.

On thursday evening last Hon. c. A.
Iowne. member OF congress from this
district, addressed an audience at Me-
mortal Hall which was limited only by
the capacity Of the auditorium. Mr..
Towne is an eloquent speaker and de-
livers the hest silver speech of any man
upon the stump in this or anv other
state. The speech was full of those
bursts of eloquence for which he is fam
oas-His audience came to listen with
keeEer interest and closer attention
than IL usually the case. He occupies a
unique position in the political world,
claiming to still be republican he is
the candidate of two very unrepublican
parties. A high protectionist, he is
standing on two free trade platform.
Elected on sound money platform two
years ago, he is an avowed free silver
man declaring that he has not changed
all the old parties here gone adrift.
summersaulted as it were, but he stands
firm, notwithstanding that those who
Imported him two years ago are fight
ing him now, and those who bitterly
opposed him then are his enthusiastic
supporters in this campaign. Under
these conditions it is little remarkable
claim that he has not changed nor is it
remarkable that he draws crowd.
His speech was, from first to last, a
discussion of abstract propositions-he
never so much as mentioned the free,
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver at the ratio of 1871. He went
back to ancient Greece, he quoted from
the text books, he specnlated and pro-
phesied, he assumed and declared, but
here was nothing practical from first
to last. He ignored history and substi-
tuted theory, nothing OF the failures of
the nations of the world to maintain
bimetalism; nothing of the fact that this
country never used gold and silver with.
out discrimination as a circulating
medium until after 1878. He assumed
an approaching value of gold since
1s73, and quoted average prices OF Sc
lected commodities to prove it, But he
said not one word relative to the era of
unprecedented property which prevailed
bet ween 1873 and 1892; no mention of
he recent advance OF forty per cent in
wheat, only reference to the fact that it
fell forty per cent. It was not argu-
ment, 1t was oratory.
His protective tariff talk, apd he spoke
eloquently in behalf of protection, was
that OF two years ago. His financial
talk was dianietrically opposed to that
of two years ago.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.


In recent free silver speech Geo. Fred
Williams, Of Boston, made the following
statement which has been copiously cop
led into the Pop press all over the coun-
try:
Inferno tional agreement is the answer
we have from our Republican opponents
namely, that the great nations of Eu-
rope shall join us and Iegislate at the
same time in the same direction. Well,
to show you that it is not so prepos-
ferrous an idea that this government
would undertake it alone, let me quote
to YOU the words OF Lord Lidderdale,
who was former governor of the Bank
of England, one of the best posted men
in financial matters known in the world,
and as to the results of such legislation
in this country, at banquet held at the
Mansion house in London. He spoke as
follows: If the American people had
the courage of conviction and would
adopt the double standard of gold and
silver, no matter at what ratio, they
would inside OF a year command the
trade of the East Indies, the Straights,
China and Japan. Unless England
should follow suit and adopt BIZ
metallic standard she would inside of 18
months cease to be a commercial factor
IN the markets of the world"

THE people of the district have sui
tered already at the hands of Mr.. Towne
saws the Duluth News-Tribune, but
nothing he has done was more insult

to the voters to accept money tor their

kind of advice is an enemy OF good gov

A SPECIMEN BRICK.

Mr.. BRYAN's speeches demonstrate
that he is troubled NTH mental srrabis-
mus. In Connecticut he made one Of his
usual speeches, arraigning the banks. in
which he said:
II know little about the banking
business. / will know more as soon as
get my dividend on the amount I had
deposited when the bank failed. We had
a cashier of that bank who was afraid
OF silver and wanted honest money, and
was afraid that the people weuld get so
cent dollars. They would have been
glad to be paid in SO cent dollars"
Mr.. BRYAN gave the country to under
stand. says the Philadelphia Times, by
this reference to bank that failed, that
he had been loser to considerable
amount, and further sought to connect
the bank failure with the silver question.
The German National Bank of Lincoln,
in which Mr.. Bryan kept his account,
| tailed ten months ago. Receiver Hadyn
| says that the amount OF Mr.. Bryan's
| deposit at the time OF the failure was
$73, and the amount never exceeded
$500. But Mr.. Bryan was a borrower
as well as Il deposition, and the books
show that he Away owed the bank at
least twice as much as he had deposited.
A telegram from Lincoln to the New
York Sun gives statements of the bank
!.cftieials, showing that they hold Bryan's
unnaid note for 81, 900. The note Has
been in the bank for years. In addition
to Mr.. 6ryan's name the note has the

Mr.. Brvan's loan has been $1,000 ever

bank, and Mr.. T. c. Boggs, who was

the Sun reporter that Mr.. Bryan's de.
post never exceeded $780,
Was Bryan frank and honest when he
made his public statment Indicating
that the bank owed him, whereas he
owed the bank 1927 more than his de
post? Was it honest for BRYAN to init
amate that the bank collapsed because O
the failure to pay silver when Bryar
knew that had nothing to do with tn,
failure? The inability or refusal of deb
tors to pay what they owed tell tn
story. Does Bryan want to scale hi
debts so cents on the dollar?

DOES NOT LEND A CENT IN
NORTH CAROLINA-WHY?

Because the Supreme court Of North
Carolina says NO Building and Loan
Association can lend money in North
Carolina that collects a greater rate than
6 per cent interest, no matter by what
device or name. IL you pay in any money
on a loan You get 8 per cent on your pay
ment and all they can collect out Of you
is per cent on what you borrow. This
is why THE RALEIGH BRANCH OF
THE SOUTHERN is NOT LENDING
ANY OF HER MONEY IN NORTH
CAROLINA. Stick a pin right here
investors.l NO Building and Loan Asso-
citation, insurance company or other cor
porntion lend money at 6 per cent, and
mature their stock on go cent payments,
under 10 years time. (The Southern's
expected time is about 40 months.)
She only lends her money in those States
that will enforce her contracts, there
fore she is earning legitimate Building
and Loan profits for those who have in
vestment stock, as a saving fund the
Southern has no superior and few equals
to the wage-earner, mechanic and clerk
it is positively the best investment to be
had. Why? Because it is safe-why
better than a bank. Because you CANT
check it out, and by this means you add
to your savings instead Of taking from
it. To any one who does not intend to
stay in at least two years, / would adj
wise them to put their money in the bank
Why2 Because, there is no profit in
staying in a shorter time, and a man
shows the want of sense to join any
Building and Loan and stay in for a
shorter period. You can draw out of the
Southern if you want to, after you have
made six payments. This is for those,
who, though they intend to say longer,
are unfortunate and find they are unable
to keep up payments) You can't find a
better Xmas present for your wife or
