From time to time, the populist
press has broken out in a wall about
the terrible crime committed by the
sound money people in offering cam
paign plate matter to the country
papers-what a fearful wrong it was
for any party to spend money in
thus placing it's side of the issues
before the public-but now comes
the free silverites with the same
offer which will be largely accepted
by the pop papers. Another stock
cam paign yell gone.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, SEPT. 10, 1896.
DEAR SfR:-The newspaper directories do
not indicate with any degree of accuracy the
political utilization of the papers of the United
States in this remarkable campaign. We are
prepared to furnish a free plate service TO all
papers that print the silver side of the present
financial controversy. Ii you care TO handle
some first-class silver literature, notify me at
once. State in your reply whether your paper
is daily, weekly, or both and if daily, whether
it is a morning or evening edition.
II you are on the other side, an answer 10
this question is unnecessary.
Awaiting the favor of any early reply, l have
the honor to remain, Sincerely yours,

I'm this campaign, the laboring men of the
East are told that if we had free coinage they
would be obliged to pay twice as much as they
DO now for the necessaries OF life, while the
farmers of the West are told that they would
get no more for what they had to sell, and
would have TO take their pay in so cent dollars
How an intelligent people can place confidence
in a party that thus seeks to deliberately de.
ceive them is hard to understand.
Is not that refreshing coming from an
apostle of a party that is teaching two
distinct financial creeds. Foxy Mr..
Kelley, true to his nature, raises the cry
OF Republican deception, trying to blind
his readers to the duplicity practiced by
his W side OF the house. The policy
pursued by the democratic party
throughout the campaign has been to
talk thing in one section OF the
country, another in another section.
Bryan, in his eastern speeches, has al.
ways claimed that after the passage oil
an unlimited coinage bill, silver would
rise to $1.29 per ounce while in South
Dakota, j. E. Kelley, Loucks, Knowles,
in fact, all the small fry pop orators,
sing the praises of a cheaper debt-scaling
dollar. The people know these things
to be true they also know that when
Loucks ct al. preach reputation by
means OF a cheap dollar, they are preach
ing the true policy Of the popocrats who
do not want the silver dollar to be az
good az a gold dollar,-in fact, a paper
dollar is good enough for them. 1t takes
nerve to advance the free silver side, and
Kelley possesses it in bulk.

Honey i'm Circulation.

In reply to u query as to whether a
w~orkingman could purchase as much
with free silver dollars under free coin
age as he can now. the Minneapolis
Times of the Dist replied
"W/bp not2 SilVey nil be The only standard
money. Gold nil bare iett the country or
gone ont Of circulation"
As the Times is the leading free silver
paper OF Minnesota, it's reply is signif-
cant, endorsing as it does in this case
just what sound money advocates claim,
but the reply is not according to the
double standard OF truthfulness used by
Bryan aud his followers. 1t is rather
hard to keep track of the popocrat tales
and the Times should not be blamed for
foundering into the truth once in awhile.

Argument is scarce when Kelley ad.
vances that the people of Webster who
are carrying Mexican dollars as object
lessons are boarding them in hope OF a
rise i'm silver il Bryan is elected. No sane
man really believes Bryan will be elected.
Nor do the people believe silver would go
up to $1.29 per ounce as promised by
Bryan. Ii they did the entire purchas-
able silver supply OF Mexico, China, In
dia, and Japan would have been in the
hands OF spectators long ago, but the
price of Mexican dollars is lower now
than it vas one month ago. Ii Kelley
wants to show his faith by boarding,
the Webster supply of Mexican dollars is
far from exhausted, and he can get all
he wants for so cents on the dollar.

Pettigrew wants gold to leave the
country. Loucks wants to demone-
tie gold because it is one step to-

the working men it is to their inter

and Grigsby says that he will admit
that to every pensioner, every man
with a fixed income, free silver will
be an injury. Kelley wants to hang
the money class, and Knowles wants
a free distribution of property, and
Andy Lee wants to be governor.
Now isn't that a pretty state of
things.

1t will be seen by an examination OF
the above article from the Penny Press
that the importations of wool, OF 49,
765, 121 pounds for the year 1894, be-
ing the last year of the Mckinley tariff,
as contained in that article is a lie and
misrepresentation manufactured from
whole cloth, as no such figures or i'm

treasury report. The treasury report,
in fact, shows the importations that
year (the last year OF the Mckinley
tariff We're only 80, 152, 5S5 pounds.
The statement contained in the above
article that wool imports rose so per
cent. under the Mckinley tariff, and fell
10 per cent. under the present tariff is
an unmitigated lie. The fact is as shown
by the treasury report, the importations
OF wool fell from 05, 431 ,2S5 pounds in
1890 to $3.50, $50 pounds in 1894, and
that under the Wilson-Gorman tariff(the
present tariff the importations of wool
increased from 55, l52,5 S5 pounds un-
der the last year of the Mckinley tariff,
to 206 ,033 COG pounds in 1895, being
the first ten months of the Wilson-Gor-

much as gold, but Kelley says you
could trade a gold dollar for two sill
