READING, Aug. 27--A family, compris-
ing father, mother and son, had a miracu-
lous escape from instant death in walking
across the Lebanon valley railroad bridge.
They had reached the centre Of the bridge
from the west side, when n passenger
train, which had just left the depot in
this city, and was going west, came along.
Bonneville Klemmer, the engineer took
in the situation, and blow the danger
signal and put on the brakes. The family
stepped to the eastbound track, when they
found a Reading and Columbia train bear
ing down upon them. They stepped back
again, just as Engineer Klcmmer's train
was brought to stop, "a few feet from
them. Had they been struck they would
have been hurled into the Schuylkill, 100
feet below.

A Large Portion of the Letter Devoted
to the Free Silver ouestion-He An
nounces Himself as Apposed to
Such Policy.

CANTON, o., Aug. 27.-Maior McKinleys S
1t is as follows
Hon. John NJ Thurston and others,
members of the notification committee of
the Republican national convention-Gen-
tlemen: In pursuance of the promise made
to your committee when notified of my
nomination as the Republican candidate
for president, beg to submit this formal
acceptance of that high honor, and to con-
slider in detail questions at issue in the
pending campaign.
Perhaps this might be considered un-
necessary in view Of my remarks on that
occasion and those I have made to delega-
tions that have visited me since the st.
Louis convention, but in view Of the mo-
mentOus importance of the proper settle
ment of the issues presented on our future
prosperity and standing as nation, and
considering only the welfare and happi-
ness of our people, l could not be content
20 omit again calling attention to the
questions which in my opinion vitally
affect our strength and position among
the governments of the world and our
morality, integrity and patriotism as
citizens of that republic, which for "a CEN
tury past has been the best hope of the
world and the inspiration of mankind. We
must not now prove false to our own high
standards in government, nor unmindful
of the noble example and wise precepts of
the fathers or of the confidence and trust
which our conduct in the past has always
inspired.

No Benefit to Labor.

Free silver would not mean that silver
dollars were to be freely had without cost
or labor. 1t would mean the free use of
the mints of the United States for the few
who are owners of silver bullion, but
would make silver coin no freer to the
many who are engaged in other enter
prises 1t would not make labor easier,
the hours of labor shorter, or the pay bet
ter. 1t would not mIke farming less la
borious, or more profitable. 1t would not
start factory, or make demand for an
additional days labor. 1t would create
no new occupations. 1t would add
nothing to the comfort Of the masses, the
capital of the people or the wealth of the
nation. 1t seeks to introduce new mea-
sure of value, but would add no value to
the thing measured. 1t would not con-
serve values. On the contrary, it would
derange all existing values, 1t would not
restore business confidence, but its direct
effect would be to destroy the little which
yet remains.
The meaning of the coinage plank
adopted at Chicago is that any one may
take quantity of silver bullion, now
worth 50 cents, to the minUs Of the United
States, have it coined at the expense of
the government, and receive for it a silver
dollar which shall be legal tender for the
payment of all debts, public and private.
The owner of the silver bullion would get
the silver dollar. 1t would belong to him
and to nobody else. Other people would
get it only by their labor the products of
their land or for something of value.
The bullion owner, on the basis of present
values, would receive the silver dollar for
50 cents worth of silver, and other people
would be required to receive it as full
dollar in the payment of debts. The gov
ernment would get nothing from the
transaction. 1t would bear the expense
of coming the silver and the community
would suffer loss by its use
We have coined since 1878 more than
four hundred millions of silver dollars,
which are maintained by the government
at parity with gold, and are full legal
tender for the payment of all debts, public
and private How are the silver dollars
now in use different from those which
would be in use under free coinageY
The Dollars Compared.
They are TO be of the same weight and
fneness; they are to bear the same stamp
of the government Why would they not
be of the same valueY / answer: The
silver dollars now in use were coined on
account of the Povernment. and not for

The Free Coinage of Silver.

For the first time since 1868, if ever be-
fore, there is presented to the American
people this year clear and direct issue
ms to our monetary system, of vast impor-
tance in its effects, and upon the right
settlement of which rests largely the
financial honor and prosperity Of the
country. 1t is proposed by one wing of
the Democratic party, and its allies, the
Peoples and Silver parties, to inaugurate
the free and unlimited coinage of silver by
Independent action on the part of the
United States at ratio of sixteen ounces
of silver to one ounce of gold.
The mere declaration Of this purpose is
a menace to our financial and industrial
interests and has already created uni
versal alarm. 1t involves great peril to the
credit and business of the country, peril
so grave that conservative men every
where are breaking away from thor old
party associations and uniting with other
patriotic citizens in emphatic protest
against the platform of the Democratic
national convention as an assault upon
the faith and honor Of the government
and the welfare of the people We have
had few questions in the lifetime of the
republic more serious than the one which
is thus presented.
The character of the money which shall
measure our values and exchanges and
settle our balances with one another. and
with the nations of the world, is of such
primary importance and so far reaching in
its consequences as TO call for the most
painstaking investigation, and, in the end
sober and unprejudiced judgment at the
polls. We must not be misled by phrases
nor dpludn1 Inv false theories
