"The silver question is a vital one il

bimetallism is making rapid progress
in Europe and if we make no mistake
now it is likely to produce a practical
solution whereby silver and gold will

AT Mansfield, Mo, the other day
an incident occurred which caused the
farmers to scratch their heads and
study as they have never done before,
A foreign loan company with local Of
ficers at Springfield, held a mortgage
on farm near there. The mortgage
fell due recently and an agent de-
handed payment in gold. As the
mortgage read payable in gold" the
mortgagee was made to believe that
nothing but gold would suffice. As
not enough gold could be found in
town to satisfy the indebtedness the
farmer was advised to make tender
in silver dollars and such other legal
tender money as could be had at the
banks. This was done, but the offer
was refused. The only alternative
left was to find tho gold, which was
done by making a trip to Springfield
OF oyer fifty miles. This is the first
incident which has occurred there,
showing the practlcRl workings of a
gold standard system as now in force
in the United States.

A GOLD DEMOCRAT.

Nv GbdT
Judge r.. M. Otter of Hillsboro, O.
who is gold democrat and quite &C
tive in politics, talked today with Sta,
reporter on the situation IN Ohio.
II never saw such a situation in
politics before" be said. MANY
waves of sentiment have swept over
Ohio; but l have never seen anything
like the present. In the country dis
tricts the silver sentiment is intense.
Every man you see is loaded with ar
guments, and there is no use trying
to talk with him.
"The silver men have been reading
everything they could get hold of on
their side Of the question, until they
can out-talk Harvey. They are as
glib as possible with arguments which
[ regard as false, but which they are
satisfied with, and they will dance all
over any man who says gold, 1t has
become a sort of religion with them
and they will not listen to nor toler-
ate opposition. You can't make any
impression on them any more than
you can argue a man out Of his relig-
ious faith. The thing has spread so
that | regard the result IN the state
as doubtful, and perhaps with the
probability favorable to Bryan.
"At all events, 1t is by means GER
tain that Mckinley can carry the
state. The normal republican major
ity is about 250O0. That is the safe
natural republican majority. There
are about $4,000 populist votes and
10000 prohibition votes. Bryan will
probably get $4,000 populist votes
and 5000 prohibition. That IS, he
will get the silver vote of these two
parties.
"In the cities there will be a con-
siderable gold democratic votes for
Mckinley; in the country districts
there will be large silver republican
vote for Bryan, These may pretty
nearly offset each other, though it
looks as if Bryan would get more re-
publican votes IN the countsy than he
will lose democrats in the cities.
There is hardly anything but sill
yer talked throughout the state. The
men around the threshing machines
at lunch tune, the groups around the
country stores and about the village
hotels, republicans and democrats
head to head, are talking about the
money question. Men who never be-
fore could talk together on politics
without punching each others heads
are hand in hand or are talking the
matter over from different standpoints
In sympathetic spirit. If anyone
says gold there will at once be half
dozen men to jump on him. 1t makes
little difference how much fallacy
there is in their arguments these
country folk think they have master
ed the question, and they can put in
ten words to one of the man who tries
to show them that they are wrong.
Il had gold bug on my coat. A
farmer came up to me and took hold
of my coat collar and held the gold
bug button up to view, That's the
bug that got into our wheat he said,
and reduced it 80 per cent The
rect all took il up and thought it a
good thing There was no sort of ar
gument l could put up to outweigh
this rustic wit. That sort of thing
goes for argument. II is silver, sill
yer, silver, all through the country
districts"

If the Capital IN its efforts to edu.

1t is not what one would consider a
safe leader:
REPUBLIC, KAN, July 30, 1896.
To the Editor of the CAPITAL:
Please answer the following ques-
ton: In free coinage, what is the
governments pay, if anything?
"That depends on the law. In
Great Britain gold has free coinage
and nothing is charged for the cost of
coinage, alloy, etc. In the United
States gold has free coinage, but the
person presenting the bullion for coin
age must pay the actual cost for coin
ing il"
The facts are, that if gold bullion
is of the required standard, nine parts
pure gold, and one part copper, no
charge whatever is made by the mint
for coming it. Silver stood upon the
same plane up to 1873.
