MARQUETTE. MICH, oct. 1S.-Bishop
G. Mott Williams. of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of Marquette, SAID to-day:

represented among the signatures Of the

for patriotism. mutual charity and con-
ndence between the rich and poor, anti
scctionalism and honest money"
These arc ringing words. and will at
tract attention wherever they arc read.
II is most significant fact that the
clergy generally. and in this section al
most unanimously. so far as our infoma-
ton goes. arc opposing the Chicago Pet
form. They are doing so on tho ground
that the Chicago platform contains a
dishonest proposition in that it proposes
to adopt a financial measure which will
permit "a debtor to pay an honest debt
with deprecated money. a great moral
question is herein involved. and it is not
strange that ministers Of the gospel re-
fuse their support to the party which
stands for such legislation.

Not n ffty-three-cont dollar. If YOU
please, ut this writing. Tho bullion in
silver dollar IS now worth less than
fifty cents. The price OF silver bullion
has been steadily flaming ever since the
Chicago Convention. and yet the hum
drcds of millions OF silver dollars In cir
culation IN this country have not depre-
ciated one cent IN value. Why? Because
the pledge or the Government Is behind
Them. But suppose we had free coinage
under which every silver dollar would
stand on its own legs. Does any rea-
sona1lc man believe that the price of the
silver dollar would not then be affected
bv the nuctuation in the price of silver
bullion? Don't ignore the fact when 1t
starcs you in the face that It would DC
,mposslble with free coinage to have a
noble currency. Your silver dollars
would inevitably change value according
as the price of silver bullion rose or
fcn.
Tho Times is never ashamed to ADMIT
a fact. whether that fact be IN IT'S i"''r
or not. and we have to confess that inc
agitation Of the silver question has at
least had the good effect Of raising the
,rice Of tobacco. We are told That the
tobacco growers Of Tennessee have been
too busy talking politics to Keep the
worms out of their tobacco. Hence a
short crop. and an increased price oil
