A Silver Tornado Sweeping Ohio

John F. Funk, of Hagerstown, Md,
has Just received a letter from J, IL.
Thomas, the millionaire agricultural
implement manufacturer of Spring
field, Ohio, who has made a study and
a canvass of the political situation IN
Ohio. Hesays:
BRYAN will get the $4,000 populist
votes. the 3O,O 600 prohibition votes, and
animmenSe number of Republican votes,
and it is hard to see how Mckinley can
overcome this combination. Bryan VIII
gain votes every day between this and
the election. There is absolutely no
hope for the farmer and the manufacture
ers and the working people except
through the unlimited coinage OF silver
1t is the only thing which can give us
money enough to do prosperous bust
ness on. 1t is the only way our farmers
can be assured Of better price for their
wheat. Mint all the silver presented at
the minis. and it Will rise in price at
once to its value of Sl.29 per ounce.
Our farmers out here are taking hold
of this view. and in some localities 1t IS
hard to find a Mckinley man at all.
Whole neighborhoods of Republicans
have come out for Bryan, and such being
the case. cannot see how he can be de-
feated in this State or in the country.
1t is true there are some boiling Demo
Gratis who will vote for Mckinley. Very
few of them will vote for Palmer, There
will not be many Democrats in Ohio who
will not vote for Bryan. | think for
every Democratic vote which goes Tor
Mckinley or Palmer there will be fifty
Republican votes for Bryan. The silver
sentiment out here is in the nature of a
tornado sweeping over the country. No
one ever saw anything like it.

Unveiled at Antietam.

The monument erected by the Phlla-
adelnbia Brigade Association to the
memorv of the FIVE hundred and forty
five men of the old Philadelphia Bri-
gade who fell at Antietam was I'M
Yelled and dedicated at Sharpsburg
last Thursday. The exercises were
participated in by the Governors OF
Pennsylvania and Maryland and an
escort from Philadelphia and Balh-
more. ~
Gov. Lowndes and staff in full uni
form. the commissioned officers OF the
First Brigade, Maryland National
Guard, forty men from the naval re-
serve with field pieces, the officers OF
the Fifth Veteran Corps and many
We'll known citizens of Baltimore ar
rived at the battlefield at II o'clock
by special train from Baltimore. Gov.
Hastings and his staff, the joint con-
mittee of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
Mavor Warwick and a joint commit
tee of Select and Common councils OF
Philadelphia, and the members Of the
Philadelphia Brigade Association az
rived from Washington, where they
held preliminary exercises incident to
the dedication the day previous.
Upon the arrival of Gov. Hastings
and staff upon the plateau surrounding
the famous old Dunkard Church the
Governors salute was given by the
naval reserve battery, under command
of Commander Emerson. Governor
Lowndes received the visitors and
made an address of welcome to which
Gov. Tasting responded. \ line was
then formed and a distance Of about
900 feet was gone over in marching
order. with the two Governors heading
the column.
Arriving at the monument, Con-
tractor Herman Kotten transferred
the shaft to the Brigade Association.
1t was accepted by Commander John
| w. Frazier and unveiled The grafton
was delivered by Capt John f. Reilly
of the sixtv-ninth Pennsylvania Vol
unteers. Other addresses and music
followed. After the exercises Gov.
Lowndes entertained Gov Hastings
and his staff officers in a tent which
had been erected near the monument.
The monument is plain but hand
some. 1t is IS feet high, II feet wide
at the base, with die 6 feet square
and 6! feet high. a beautiful shaft
50 feet in height rises from the base.
1t stands in the centre Of an eleven
acre plot of ground fronting on the
Hagerstown pike, about three hundred
wards north Of the old historic Dunkard
Church. It is back from the pike
about four hundred feet, and is ap-

curve around the base of themonument.

! CVt) granite, and cost $4,000.

Graadpap Palmer on Silver.

Old man Palmer, who was nominal
ted for President by the gold standard
men at the Indianapolis convention,
and who is held up as a model Of pure
democracy and an example Of all the
virtues, is no more consistent IN his
views on the money question than he
is in other affairs We find that this
Eminent Ancient, who has been alter
nately Republican, Greenbacker and
Democrat, was equal to the most ad-
vanced Popuist in his advocacy Of free
silver four years ago. In the United
States Senate in 1892 he said
If there is any dollar more honest
than the silver dollar of 31l4 grains (of
pure silver il has not been discovered
i'm the century or more that the nation
has existed. If there can be any such
thing as a dishonest dollar, that mlsera-
BILE sham trick and travesty of a coin, a
gold dollar exactly fills that deslgna-
ton
Could even Tom Watson put 1t any
stronger?
Again, in the same speech, he made
the following remarks, which Is par
ticularly good advice to the men who
are now supporting him for the presl-
dency:
at is all very well to abuse the friends
of the silver dollar as intationists, repu-
diators, thieves and all sorts of things,
but really the friends of the gold dollar
ought to pay the same attention to the
members of the convention who framed
the United States Constitution, and who
made the silver dollar the unit and
standard Of value in this country.
Here is another extract that must
be particularly comforting q to the
bankers and brokers who are now
helping along his campaign:
Scratch an opponent of the coinage
of silver and you will find a supporter OF
the national bank system, and you won
have to scratch very hard.
The truth is, General Palmer Is
complete humbug, and those Demo
Gratis who are supporting him for con.
scientious reasons must have very
elastic consciences.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
an imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be ia
ken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
couS surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

Bismarck on Free Silver.

Governor Culberson, Of Texas, re-
Gently wrote the following letter to
Prince Bismarck, the great German
statesman
PRINCE BIsMARCK-SW-The great
question of finance is now of supreme in
terest to the people of the United States.
1t is presented in various forms, but ina
general way it may be said to be, first,
whether the United States shall adopt
the single gold standard, or, second,
whether they shall adopt bimetalliSm
with both gold and silver as the stand
ard or primary money.
The argument in favor of each is well
known to you, but 1t is particularly in
sisted that we should adopt the policy
of bimetallism because the supply of
gold i'm the world for coinage is INSULT
Gent to meet the demands. and because
such a standard will still further depress
the values of all property.
Which, in your judgment, IS the best
policy to adopt, the gold standard or
bimetaHiSm!
What effect, in your judgment, will
the immediate adoption of bimetallism
by the United States have on the cause
of bimetallism in Germany and other
great commercial nations?
{. \. CULBERsoN,
Governor of Texas.
To this letter Prince Bismarck made
the following reply;
FREDERICKSBURG, Aug. p, 1896.
uoNoRED SIR-Your esteemed favor
has been duly received. | hold that
this is the very hour that would be adj
visable to bring about between the ma
tions chiefly engaged in the world 5
commerce mutual agreement in favor
of the establishment of bimetallism.
The United States are freer by far in
their movements than any nation OF
Europe. and hence if the people of the
United States should find it compatible
with their interests to take Independent
action in the direction of bimetallism, |
cannot but believe that such action
would exert most salutary influence
upon the consummation of international
agreement
