The letter written by Senator Thurston,
which Mr.. Curtis says is identically in
line with his position, is as follows.
"OMAHA. Neb., July 4.-SenatOr Thurs

previous speeches we're not in accord
with his present position, part Of which
is as follows:
"If my address on the money question

was secondary in Importance to the tariff.

vention. A party platform is not expected

Individual views Of every member Of the

majority; and should not think Of
deserting my party because one Of it's
planks was not exactly in accord with
the personal views which have hereto
fore held. The platform Of the Republi-
can party does not propose to eliminate
silver or paper money from our currency.
ain the two National conventions
which will declare for the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver, will be gathered

United States.
"The old discredited leaders OF the
greenback movement will once more ex-
pRnd their lungs and give voice to the
same yell in favor Of fiat money. Under
the Republican banner will be assembled
all those great leaders whose patriotism
and craftsmanship advanced to the COM
mRnding position which 1t occupied IN
1892 as the first industrial and agricul-
tuEal nation of the globe. All the great
conservative interests will rally around
the Republican standard, and the
majority in the electoral college for
Mckinley and Hobart will be the great

Denver Field and Farm says: 'The
American farmer has putsO much brains
into his work that he has, according to
his political guardians, brought on
universal distress throughout the Coun-
try by producing too much. OVerproduC-
tion is what ails the country, he ls told,
and yet he must put his brains to work
to produce more. Our opinion is that
he should put his brains to finding out

No Life on the Noon.

In the absence of all indication OF any
sort Of life whatever on the moon, with
no air nor water, together with the fact
that no change OF any description
has been noticed by the keen and
trained eyes which have jealously
scrutinized it's surface from the time OF
the first telescope efforts to the present,
we are compelled to conclude that there
are no people who live in the moon.
The wonderful combination Of mountain
and crater, valley and peak, is, after all,
only vast graveyard; and il living beings
ever roamed it's plains and navigated ito
great seas, now dry, or frozen with
appalling cold, they have been gathered
to the nations Of the dead; and all traces
of them having vanished, the tall shafts
Of the mountains watch over their last
resting place, and, with the crater rings,
constitute their eternal and magnificent
msusoleum. Ladies' Home Journal,

CURTIS AGAINST SILVER.
The Fourth District Congressman Says He
IL Not Now and Never Was for
Free Coinage at 16 to /.

the Fourth district would take on the
finance question has been matter OF
conjecture ever since the adoption OF
the st. Louis platform. His free coin
age friends have anxiously waited for
him to say something that would indi-
cate what his attitude would be, and his
political opponents have been equally as
ANXIOUS to know what kind OF fight he
proposed to make.
The ADVOCATE has noted several inter
views with him, but in none Of them has
his position been stated with any great
degree of clearness. None Of these have
been used for the reason that it was the
desire of this paper 20 quote fair, clear,
authoritative statement from him when
ever such could be obtained.
In the last issue of the Topeka MGil
the present official paper Of Kansas and
the organ Of the Republican administrs-
tion, is printed an extended interview
with Mr.. Curtis. Believing that it is
fair to presume that he would speak
frankly to the representative OF that
paper, and that it would not misquote
him, the ADVOCATE reprints his remarks
on the finance question, believing that
they indicate what course he will pursue.
To the Mail reporter Mr.. Curtis said:
81 am personally in favor Of honest.
bimetallism, and think it would have
been better for the Republican party Of
the West if the st. Louis convention had
included clause of some kind providing
for limited coinage Of silver. But am
not now, and never have been, for free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to l. IL was for unlimited
coinage at 16 to would never accept
q Republican nomination for Congress;
the only place this year for candidate
who believes that way Is on Democratic
or Populist platform. A year ago, in my
speeches in this district, | used a 55-
cent Mexican dollar in all my speeches
as an example Of what free and unlimited
coinage had done for Mexico. | COM
pared the wages paid to the lRboring men
of the United States with the very low
wages paid the laborers of Mexico, while
the Mexican was paid in a deprecated
dollar and the American in a dollar that
was always worth 100 cents also made
speeches in 1892 and 1894 against free
and unlimited coinage. l am in favor
of making every dollar as good as every
other dollar. / do not want dishonest
dollar, nor do l believe any other Re-
publican in Kansas wants that kind OF a
dollar. My position is stated exactly in
a letter written a few days ago by
Senator John NJ. Thurston OF Nebraska,
which appeared Sunday morning in the
Topeka Capital. Mr.. Thurston, who
was Chairman Of the convention which
framed the Republican platform, says
that personally he is for honest bimet-
allism and hopes to assist under Re-
publican President and Republican
Congress in securing the greatest posi-
BILE recognition Of the American silver
product. My recent interview in the
State Journal was exactly in line with
Mr.. Thurston' 3 sentiments, and yet few
Republicans are disposed to criticize me,
understand. The thing for Republicans
to do is to stand together and work unit
