dollars. while he could not pass them
at the shops or hotels. he could 60 to
a broker and exchange them for
almost their equivalent in gold dol

could be returned in a short time to
the United States and exchanged at
par for gold. Just as readily. he
could exchange greenbacks. national

ing no intrinsic value. and for the

LETTER FROM CARLISLE.
Secretary Writes of Free Coinage in
Reply to an Arkansas Eorres-
pondent.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, July ga
statement was widely published by the
press few days ago that President
G.. l.. Green. of tho Connecticut Life
Insurance Company. of Hartford, had
issued circular letter to policy hold
ers notifying them in the event of the
adoption of free coinage of silver the
company would be compelled to pay
all claims in deprecated silver coin.
Mr.. F. W Alsop, of this city, sent 4
clipping of this statement to Secretary
of the Treasury Carlisle with the re-
quest for an expression on the sub
jeet He has received reply from
Mr.. Carlisle, whichis in part as follows:
-'In case free coinage of silver
should be esta blished in this country,
| presume insurance companies and
all other institutions would continue
to make their payments by checks and
drafts on banks as heretofore: but in
my opinion the whole volume of our
currency would sink at once to the
silver basis. and these checks and
drafts would be paid in silver dollars
or their equivalent, instead OF gold or
its equivalent. as is now the case. |
presume no one supposes fora moment
that it would be the duty of the Gov
to keep the standard silver
dollar. coined free for private indi-
viduals and corporations, equal in
value to a gold dollar: or, in other
that it would 'be the duty of
he Government to attempt under a
system of free coinage to maintain the
parity of the two metals. The dollars
would be coined on private account
md delivered to private individuals
md corporations as their own prop
erty. the Government having no in
crest whatever in them. and being.
therefore, under no obligation to sus-
ain them by guaranteeing theirvalue.
Under our existing system all sill
yer dollars are coined on account of
he Government. and are issued by
he Government in payment of its OBJ !
igations. and it will be an act of bad |
aith therefore to permit them 10 de-

UNDER THE WAVES.
Dick Williams Drowned.
lie was Bathing in the Mississippi
River and Nentured too Far From
shore,

Saturday evening five young men
went to the river near the Union Mill
and went in bathing. Young Richard
Williams was one of the number. All
the boys were swimmers. They had
been going in the river at that place
for some time. They knew the place
knew the depth of water. the range and
run of the current of the river. They
did not dream of danger They had
no idea when they plunged into the
water that one of their number would
never come out. They were full of
life. in the best OF spirits and were
little band of pleasure seeking COM
panions.
Clad in bathing suits they plunged
into the great river and splashed the
water with theis. hands and feet, talk
ing and laughing all the while. They
had not been in the water long till
young Williams was caught by the
treacherous current and carried swift

his strength failed him. He threw up
his hands and called for help but be
wits too far from shore His COM
ganions could not reach him. They
stood there helpless looking at their
companion struggling for life in the
mad waves of the Mississippi. They
could do nothing. Their friend their
companion went dOwn-went to a
watery grave. The boy who a few
minutes before was a shining light in
his circle of friends. the cherished
child and ideal son of father and
mother was no more. His tender life
was shifted out-his pleasant face and
manly form had been swallowed up by
the murky waters of the big river.
Hewas lost, lost, and thesilent prayers
of his companions, thebleeding hearts
and scalding tears of parents could
not bring him back.
The news of the sad affair soon
spread over the city and willing hands
were soon at work searching for the
body. The river was dragged, dyna-
mite was exploded but the river re-
fused to give up its victim

LOSERS ON MORTGAGES.
They Are in General People of small
Means,

The recent history of several farm
mortgage companies shows that great
sums of money have been lost by
those who, either BY taking their
mortgages or by purchasing their
debenture bonds, supplied them with
money to be loaned. The agricultur-
ist in Western Nebraska or Western
Kansas who has failed to make a
living and has been compelled to
abandon his farm should remember.
when he attacks the Eastern pluto
cratic" money lender, that the pluto
crat" who loaned him money upon
mortgage for the cultivation of that
farm may have lost every cent of the
sum SO surrendered. The farmer
took and used the money, and the
"plutocrat" may have nothing but the
experience.
And who is the lending ''plutocrat?"
In a majority of instances he has been
a man of very moderate means who
invested his little savings in this VEN
ture. Or the lender may have been
some widow who was attracted by a
rate of interest higher than that which
the savings bank paid. 1t is well
known that t!Ie great bulk of the mon
ey invested il Western farm mortga-
ges by Eastern people has consisted
of the savings of hard working men
and women, each of whom has put in
a little. These are the ''plutocrats"
who. if they have lost nothing thus
far, are now threatened with a legal
reduction of their claims and invest
ments by one-half.
Scattered through the Eastern States
there are many who. disabled by ad-
years or bereft of their bread
are suffering to-day by rea-
son of the loss of savings invested in
Western farm mortgages, and the
Bryan party demands that the little
which remains for them shall be cut in
two. This is a part of the picture
which the agriculturist supporters of
Bryan in the West-warm-he hearted and
honest as many of them are-have not
looked at-New York Times Dem.

REMAINS RECOVERED.
The River Gives Up the
Dead.
And the Body of Richard williams
VIII Not sleep in a Watery
GraXe.


A telegram from Cairo dated Aug
ust 9TH at eight o'clock a. M. brought
glad tidings to the family of F. NJ.
Williams. 1t told them of the recov-
cry of the body of their lost son. The
body was found floating down the
river and was taken from the water by
tender hands and placed in a coffin
for shipment to this city.
Richard Williams lost his life while
bathing in the river here last Satur-
day. Every effort was made to find
the body. Dynamite was used in the
river and other means resorted to to
find the remains. but all to no pur-
pose. Men were sent down the river
to watch for the water to give up its
dead and at last the form of the poor
boy was discovered floating down the
current near Cairo, Illinois.
1t was hard for the family to lose
their dear boy but the thoughts of
never recovering the body was harder.
Father. mother, brothers and kin
have watched, listened and prayed
for the recovery of the body of poor
Dick Williams since his form disap-
peared under the murky waters of the
treacherous Mississippi. They were
about to give up all hope when the
electricity flashed over the wire bear
ing to them the news that their loved
one had been found-dead, but not

Mckinley : chances are now regard
ed as much better than Bryan's en-
braces the three Pacific Coast States
of California. Oregon and Washing
ton. They are naturally Republican,
but while the free silver theory has
been largely accepted in those States,
everything now points to square
battle between the friends of sound
money and cheap money on the Pa
cific Coast, with reasonable certainty
of the success of the Republicans.
Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska, and South
Daka are the four Western agricultur-
al States in which the free silver
heresy has swept like tidal wave in
the past: but the Republicans of these
States have all declared for sound
money in their State Conventions, and
they will be aggressively supported
by the sound money Democrats in the
coming battle Indiana is probably
the most doubtful of this class of
States, and to-day it might vote for
Bryan: but the earnest battle that will
be made in the vast and substantial
interests which must be affected for
veal or woe by the financial policy of
the Government will pretty certainly
hold that State to sound money in No.
vember.
We regard Kentucky, Louisiana,
Missouri, Tennessee and both the Vir-
ginias as more likely to vote for Nc
Kinley than for Bryan. In all of the
Southern States the old line Democrats
are much more embittered against the
Populists than they are against the
Republicans. and large majority of
them will be most reluctant to give.
any countenance whatever to Populist
theories or to the victory of their
party in those States.
In the Southern and far Western
States the sound money Democrats
will be more aggressive than in the
East, and the desire of the Southern
States to command credit for the de-
velopment of their wealth must prove
a powerful argument in favor of the
entire South. Alabama should be
more interested than any other one of
the Southern States in maintaining
the highest standard of credit. as her
undeveloped wealth is incalculable.
Georgia and North Carolina are the
two States in this class which are most
affected by the cheap money heresy.
They are less likely to vote for Me-
Kinley than any of the other States in
that list. We believe that Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming, the new
States, all of which are
interested in the production of silver,
will in the end vote for the Republi-
can ticket. They are fairly doubtful
to-day, with the chances possibly in
favor of Bryan, but everything points
to a reaction throughout all of the
gold and silver States of the West and
Northwest, with the exception of Ne
vada and Colorado.
Such seems to be the outlook of the
national battle as the campaign is
about to open. and unless all lessons
Of history are to be reversed in the
present contest. the great educational
of 1896 must strengthen the
,ause of national honor and integrity
