IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
NEW YORK STOCKS.

New York, August 31.-The stock mar
ket to-day was, judged by recent aver
ages, fairly active and the distribution of
business was satisfactory. The specula-
ton exhibited considerable spirit at inter
walls and the shorts were compelled to
cover in rather lively fashion. The par
amount bull influence was the steadily
increasing import movement of gold to
this country, which has already reached
imposing proportions and relieves to a
considerable extent the apprehension
caused by tie ruling stringency and the
impending heavy crop handling require
ments. The market was all the more en-
couraging to the bulls, as it proved SUI
perior to rather persistent selling of some
stocks by London and rather discourag-
ing quotations for American securities in
the early dealings. The deposits of gold
in the sub-treasury amounting to 80, $780,

ence. Aside from the covering purchases

Judge James E. Lincoln died in
Liberty March 10.
Judge Lincoln was a descendant of
a distinguished family, his grandfather
being brother of Abraham Lincoln.
George Lincoln, father of the deceased,
came to Liberty in 1922 from Ken
lucky and entered large farm near
this city.
Judge Lincoln was a native of Clay
county, having been born there in 1910.
He graduated at William Jewell Col
lege and completed the law course in
the university at Louisville, KY, in
1869. Ever since then, with the ex'
ception of few years, he has been en-
gagged in the practice of law here or
discharging official duties He filled
the positions of city attorney and
prosecuting attorney of Clay county,
represented the county in the Missouri
general assembly in 1876, was chair
man of the special committee appointed
to amend and conform the laws to the
new constitution, was probate judge
of Clay county from 1873 to 1882 and
was curator of the State University
several years. He married Miss
Bird, sister of Mrs. Witten Nc
Donald and Mrs. II. C. Orr, of Kansas
City, and Mrs. a. NJ Dockery, Mrs.
Lincoln and three children survive

oldest boy, Gatewood, being cadet at

ALL KINDS OF NEWS.
For Silver and Protection.

A long conference was held in Wash
ington between the leading republican
silver senators who voted against the
house tariff bill and manufacturers,
principally from Pennsylvania, for the
purpose, il possible, of agreeing upon
tariff programme. Those present
were Senators Teller, Of Colorado
Dubois, of Idaho; Carter and Mantle,
of Montana; Cannon, of Utah, and
Jones, of Nevada; Representatives
Hartman, of Montana: Allen, OF
Utah, and Wilson, of Idaho, and
representatives of manufacturing in
terests. Gs
All of the senators present spoke.
Each defined his position in such man
ner as to make it plain to the manu-
fscturers that there could be no pro-
tective tariff legislation, either at this
session Of congress or the next, with
out the rehabilitation of silver, and
that bimetallism and protection, as re-
garded from their standpoint, con-
stituted an indivisible issue before the
country.
Some of the manufacturers them
selves indorsed this position as being
the logic of the country's necessities
and political condition. President
Dornan, of the Manufacturers Club of
Philadelphia, expressed the opinion
that tariff duties could not be made
high enough to protect manufacturers
If the country remained on gold
basis.
James Dobson came out unqualified
ly for free coinage, by international
agreement, if possible; otherwise by
Independent action. He believed that
Independent action would induce in.
ternational action. Free coinage might
create temporary disturbances, but it
was the quickest way to permanent re-
lief from the ills from which the coun-
try is now suffering
Henry A. Frye, of Philadelphia, de-
clared for protection and bimetallism.
Charles Heber Clark, editor of the
Manufacturer, of Philadelphia, said
he had labored in season and out of
season to convince the manufacturers
that protection would prove efficacious
only in conjunction with the restora-
tion of silver.
Richard Campion declared himself in
favor of the restoration of silver, but
thought that the cause of bimetallism
was not advanced by the defeat of the
revenue measure

THINGS POLITICAL.
Patterson on Sound Money.

Congressman Patterson (democrat),
of Tennessee, has been talking for gold
in Missouri.
Mr.. Patterson defined the term
STANDARD money" as being money
made out of substance which has a
value in the open market exactly equal
to its purchasing power after it is
coined. and it is the free, unlimited
and independent coinage of the essen
tisl elements of standard money
which makes it standard. He main
tanned that gold is our standard money,
and that gold is the only standard
money which we can safely adopt or
possibly maintain. He said that silver
is dependent upon gold, and that the
purchasing power Of the silver dollar
Is not regulated by the valuc Of the
silver in 1t, but by the value of gold in
gold dollar. Silver is dependent
money, the newer of wood and drawer
of water in our financial system, and
gold is its master, and it would be i'm
possible for us to have q concurrent
circulation of two standards, gold and
silver, at 10 to 1, as gold would be
driven out of the country.
He asserted that the first agitation
of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 10 to was begun in 1876, and
he challenged his hearers to go back
over the history of our country from
Washington to Samuel J. Tilden and
find one American statesman belonging
to any political party who advocated
the present free silver doctrine. There
is not one country in the world where
free coinage of silver maintains that
is not absolutely on silver basis.
There is not one silver country in the
world where laboring men receive
wages sufficient for their independence
and comfort, and where the rich are
not nabobs and the poor men poems.
There is not silver country which uses
gold at all in its circulation, but there
is not gold country which does not
use silver. There is no silver country
which has per capita circulation of
as much as SIS. His mention of Presi-
dent Cleveland's name brought forth
thunderous applause, whereupon he
said:
II am glad that democrats still be-
lieve in the name of Grover Cleveland.
Say what you please, when history
makes up its verdict he will be re-
corded as one of the greatest patriots
of America -

Gov. Campbell's Views.

81 want international free coinage
of silver at ratio Of 151a to l." said
Ex-Gov. James Z. Campbell, of Ohio.
81 consider single gold standard ad-
vocates as much wrong on one side as
believe single silver standard men are
wrong on the other. ! am opposed to
our country going ahead alone and
coming silver free. No one nation
can do it and survive, but the United
States, Germany and France could do
SO without England's cooperation.
With an international agreement all
troubles with the money quetsion
would vanish, and l expect to live to
see such an arrangement effected.
II believe, he continued, "that the
next president will be elected by the
house Of representatives. There will
be a fight in both the national conven-
tions between the extreme gold men
and the extreme silver men, Both
are cranks. The two parties as demo-
Gratis and republicans have really no
difference on the money question.
The silver men will not be satisfied
with the republican platform and they
will bolt and lose the party enough
states to throw the election of the
president into the house.
