Washington. D. G., September 5, 1896.

Since the loading nations, including the
United States, demonetized silver, there
has been q steady fall In the level of prices
within their borders. Bitter experience
has taught all who arc familiar with tho
facts that the aband onment of bimetallisIn
and the adoption of the single gold stand
ard was u mistake that has cursed by Its
dire consequences the most civilized por-
tions OF mankind. 1t has been demon
strared that the gold standard means dear
money and cheap goods, cheap labor and
hard times. A return to bimetallism Is
Inevitable. Industry Is throttled by mon
ometailism. Bryan stands FOR the old and
bettcr financial system, which gave las a
stable AMI, therefore, an honcst dollar.

MURDER IN A GEORGIA CHURCH.

Shot Down by an Old Enemy.

Shot Down by an Old Enemy.
Thomasville. Ca, Aug. AT Met
calfe, ten miles below here, the SER
vices Of the Baptist church were inter-
rupted by a horrible murder and at
tempted suicide. John 7. Rushin, q
prominent man of this section, shot and
killed Colonel James F. Lilly and then
cut his victims throat. AS soon as he
was sure that he had complet-
ed his work Rushin swallowed four
ounces of laudanum and rushed from
the church, with the men of the copgre-
cation in pursuit. Colonel Lilly was in
structing one Of the classes, while near
him the minister had charge of another.
Rushin entered the little building and
stood by several minutes watching Col
onel Lilly. Suddenly Rushin seemed to
go wild with rage. He threw his hat
to the floor and pulled out a pistol.
AS Colonel Lilly ran Rushin began fir
ing. Three bullets entered the body of
the fleeing man. and he fell on the out
side Of the building fatally shot.
d. Rushin held his Dursuers off and
drank from the bottle four ounces of
laudanum. He was so thoroughly nau-
seated that he was unable to retain
the poison on his stomach. He ran to
his home and barricaded himself In his
room. Every effort has been made to
induce him to come out but he has per-
sistently refused, declaring that he
will kill himself first. Rushin owed
Lilly money. and 1t is supposed that
worry over It caused his mind to be-
come unbalanced.
