A CHICAGO LETTER.
}. II. Purdy Writes on the silver Question
As IL Stands To-Day.

The following letter received by ]. Fl.
Ieyson of this city from j. III. Purdy. one
of the leading jewellers of Chicago, will
be a source of encouragement to the
fighters for silver:
y. II. Leyson. Esq, Butte, Mont:
My Dear Sir-I notice with interest
your question referring to the coinage of
silver. To great extent we are subject,
as the scientists say, to our environ
ments. Being in a money center among
the rich we are liable to think as they
think, and IL is natural enough to make
dear what you possess and cheap what
you don't possess. The rich, possessing
gold. desire to make it dearer by making
II scarce, and as a consequence its pur-
chasing power great. The poor possess
ing nothing but labor, desire to make
their labor dear and commodities cheap,
the one attitude being nothing short of a
miracle, therefore not tenable, but poll
tics and religion do not mind trifes like
miracles. Personally ] feel that the coin
age of silver will sooner or later become
an absolute necessity.
II have a letter received yesterday
from Japan treating on the subject of
watch main springs in answer to an in
quiry of mine on this subject referring
to making them by machinery in that
country for the Asiatic market, and am
confronted with the Offset of cheap labor
versus expensive machinery, LABOR at ~
cents per day. which enables those peo-
pie TO initiate our wares and sell them
I'm the markets of the world for gold, cons
verting the gold into silver at its present
low cost and converting silver into Jap
anese coin and again converting that into
japanese labor. II would require a duty
of about 1000 per cent. I'm some instances
TO keep these goods out of this country,
and no duty OF ours whatever would keep
them out of foreign countries where we
desire TO sell our manufactured goods
This, to my mind, is the financial diem
ma OF the closing century. In foreign
trade we cut OFF fifty millions by the ces-
sation of reciprocity, and unless we can
trade among the nations of the world,
and vice versa, we can have no prosper
ity.
You will pardon me for writing such a
long letter but I thought your letter to
me invited IL, and think you will find in
the drift of this leaning toward the
coinage of silver as well as of gold. Very
truly. j. ii. Purdy"

ness centers Of the East.
The stranger in the city naturally won
ders why so many people go in and out
of the little store on the corner Of Main
and West Park streets. But after he has
examined the line of mems goods shown
by this house and compared the prices
with what Is asked for the same goods
elsewhere. he at once comes to the con-
clusion that THE Cash Clothing Com
pany" is selling the best goods at lower
prices than any other house in Butte,
and he no longer wonders when he sees
the crowds that daily throng. not only
the Main street entrance to this house.
but the Park street entrance as well.
All day long the staff of employees in
this house is kept busy waiting on the
eager customers who know good values
when they see them.

Birmingham state herald., 1896-08-01

League of Democratic Clubs has charge of the democratic congressional head quarters. while Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin is at the helm at the republl- can congressional rooms. MT. Turner Of Georgia will have charge of the head quarters of the peoples (populisD party, and MT. A. H. Pile will be temporarily in charge of the silver party headquarters.
 Large clerical forces have already been employed by the several headquarters, and it is probable that these will be mate rially strengthened as the campaign pro- gresses.
 Before leaving Washington for North Carolina Dr. Mott, ex-chairman of the national silver party, expressed the opin- ion that there should be no trouble about fusion on electoral tickets, and in answer to the query, Do you believe that wat son or Sewall will come off either ticket?' he said he had no idea what would be done in that direction. but even if each refused to get out of the others way ne did not see why that should cause much trouble. He believed that an agreement could be reached by which the candidate for vice president receiving the largest vote would be united upon in the cleo toral college, conceding, of course, the claims of the silver men that they will have a majority in the electoral college. So if Sewall gets a majority of the votes cast in November the populist leaders will vote for him. On the other hand if Watson gets a majority the democrats will vote for him.

LIGHTNING AT A REUNION.
Two Men Killed and Five 0lhers Seriously h. jured by an Electric Bolt at Orchard
 Hill, Ga.


 Atlanta, July 31.-A special to the Con- stitution from Orchard Hill. near Griffin, says that George Taylor and James Whatley were killed there this afternoon by lightning. Five others were seriously injured. The Thirtieth Georgia regiment of Confederate veterans was holding a reunion in a grove of trees. Hundreds of people from the vicinity and neighboring counties were present. At 2 o'clock a storm was seen approaching. Most of the people hurried away to seek shelter. Some ran under trees when the rain be- gan to fall. The storm came on with the violence of a cyclone. The lightning was terrific and the rain fell in a flood. A tree was struck by lightning and two men were instantly killed, as mentioned above. Whatley was from Butts county and Taylor from Pike. The injured are recovering,

HARRITY RETIREs.
He Is Now High Private in the Ranks O.
 Democracy.

He Is Now High Private in the Ranks or
 Democracy.
 Philadelphia, July 31.-William F. Har- rity, until recently the chairman of the democratic state committee, has retired from active politics. In answer to in quiries on the subject, MT. Harrity made the following statement:
 "Yes, it is true that 1 have determined to withdraw from active participation in political affairs. For several years l have been accorded some prominence in the management in the leadership Of the democratic party, but dsire to take my place in the ranks, except in so far as l may have duties to perform as the Penn sylvania member of the democratic na- tional committee.
 Tn taking this step I wish to explain my warm appreciation of the personal and political friendship and support which have enjoyed during my political career. I have no resentment for my enemies and nothing but gratitude for my friends. No man ever had warmer or more loyal and devoted friends than I have had. These friends still hope to retain, even though l have withdrawn from active political association with them, and if the time shall come when I can serve or aid them it will be my pleas ure to respond to their calls or demands.
 q shall," said MT. Harrty, continue tO take general interest III pOullcS, ana shall always be ready to do whatever reasonably and consistently can to pro- mote the success of the democratic par ty, but I shall absolutely refrain from any participation whatever in matters that relate to party organization and management.
 "I have given much of my time and a good deal of my energies to political mat ters since 1882, when I first began to take an active part in politics. I have now concluded to take rest from politics, so to speak, and to devote all of my ener- gies to the management of the affairs of the Equitable Trust company, to the practice of my profession and to my pri- vate business matters"
 MT Harrity's declaration is unders. pod by his friends to mean that he will give no attention to the work of state or coun- ty conventions or of state or county committees, and that he will not in any way endeavor to influence, secure or control political nominations or appoint ments of any character whatever. They now regard MT. Harrity as entirely tout of politics." although the prediction is made by some of them that they will not be surprised to see him appear again in national or state politics after few years retirement and relief from the drudgery and details of active participa- ton in party management.

BEYOND CONTROL.
Cholera In Egypt De6es the Sanitary Authori- ties-0yer 800 Deaths From the
 Present Outbreak

Washington. July 31.--Advices received at the marine hospital today from Alex andria, Egypt. show that the cholera outbreak there had got beyond the con- trol of the sanitary authorities. For nine months they fought the disease with en- ergy and as long as the infected area was small the limited force of European doctors was sufficient to handle it. Now, however, the dimensions of the outbreak forbid any successful attempt to stamp out the disease. The report, dated July Il, says during the week before last fresh outbreaks occurred in sixty-nine differ ent places and last week eighty-seven. During the seven days up to the 1st in- stant 1200 deaths were reported, and in the following six days 1700 deaths. So far S069 deaths have occurred from the present outbreak, and 1t is feared that these figures will be largely increa sed before the disease runs it's course

WASHINGTON THE CENTRE.
All the Parties Have Secured Quarters at
 the National Capital,

Washington, July S1.-The democratic headquarters of the congressional cam paien committee are located in the build ing adjoining Wormley's hotel The re- publican headquarters of the congress sional campaign committee are located at the Hotel Normandie The national committee of the silver party has en- gagged headquarters in the Corcoran building. The peoples party has rented rooms for it's national committee at APO New York avenue. and 1t is positively asserted by friends of Senator Jones, chairman of the national committee of the democratic party, that he has decid- ed to procure quarters here that will accommodate not only his own commit tee, but also the committees of the dem- ocratic allies-the silver and peoples party men.
 Thus Washington outranks itself as a political center There is much to be said in favor of this arrangement. The capital city Is conservative. It has every facility for campaign work and every side of the political question is assured equal prominence from news view point.
 Mir. Lawrence eGardner,secretary of the
