How He Became Multl- Mili:oEe: on a Salary of S5OOO a Year
 Under. .S1O,OOO Expense.

EVANSVILLE, O., Aug. 25.-W. C. iNunson, one of the prominent free sil- yer Republicans of the state, a brother of Judge Munsom and a journalist here, addressed the following letter to SeD- ator Sherman:
 Your close political associates and distinguished men in the Republican party take delight in saying that w. J. Bryan is in the employ, at a salary of $6,O00 year, of the silver millionaires of the west. This Mir. Bryan denies, and, as he is an honest man, believe him.
 And, now, Senator Sherman, a few words to you. For years have watched your career and ann aware that you once caIried a chain for the sur veyors on the Mushngum river i'm provement and honor you for that, as it WAS honest toil. You have been be fore the public in various capacities for three dozen years. In that time you have held offices constantly. It is presumed that you have had little, if any, time for anything else. We have heard you say that accepting offices was a sacrifice, for you could not live on the salary of $5,00O a, year paid membefs of the Limited States house or senate, and yet, after three dozen years of self,samifice for your country, liv- ing at a S10 ,000 rate on a $5,000 salary, you are rated as a millionaire from four to eight times over.
 You often, in speeches, challenge your politial opponents to answer close questions Can and will you, be- fore retiring to private life, tell the dear people who so long have support ed you, the secret of serving your country thirty six years on $5,000 sal ary, at the same time living at $10.- coo year rate, and retiring multi millionaire? It would be interesting information flor the rising generation even your young friend, Wm. J. Bryan, might profit by it-and be an incentive for others to emulate your career. The plain people have for years been won dering how their self-sacriicing public servant, John Sherman, could accumu- late wealth so rapidly, while they, his constituents, grew poorer each year.
