This is the kind of argument that
the silveritcs in Morris county are giving
in answer TO congressman Pitney's telling
speeches. A correspondent of the New
ark News says of the harvest home at
Flanders, last week
When Congressman Pitnty assembled
the roslrum, the uneasiness of some Of
his hearers began to manifest itself. Mr..
Pnney discussed the silver question, and
had not proceeded far when Farmer Will
son Howell advanced to tho front of the
rostrum, and solemnly shaking his finger
at Mr.. Piiney, ordered him TO stop speak
ing.
MIR. Pitney paid no attention TO Howell
for some moments, but the affair became
decidedly unpleasant when number of
men cheered loudly for Bryan and Sewall
Howell Joined them and left the platform,
but soon returned with a bright new axe
slung over his shoulders and stationed
himself in threatening attitude imme-
dately in front of Mr.. Pitney.
Rev. Mr.. Watson descended from the
platform and took his place beside Howell
to prevent any violent demonstration. AT
this the crowd who had cheered Bryan
and Sewall clapped their hands and again
cheered for Bryan.
Mr.. Ptney addressed some scsthing
words to the malcontents and apparently
shamcd them sufficiently to cause them to
forego any further unpleasant actions, and
he was permitted to finish | is speech with
out further interruption.

Bordering on Mercer County lies Hun
terdon, but politically the two, as a rule,
are as widely separated as South Carolina
and Pennsylvania. Hunterdon has always
been Democratic stronghold. 1t was the
only county 10 the State that resisted the
Republican landslide OF three years ago
and elected Democratic Senator. Party
factions have at times thrown il to the
Republicans, but when the Democracy is
united it is usually good for from |, 800 to
1000 majority for that party. Hunterdon
is almost exclusively an agricultural coun-
ty. Its farms are devoted to raising the
cereals, and in the northern part to peach
growing. For several years grain has not
paid the cost OF production, and this year
the peach crop is failure. AS conse-
quence, the farmers are in desperate
mood and ready to grasp at any straw
which promises relief. The apostles OF free
silver find in them willing listeners and
easy converts.
Throughout the whole county," said
Senator Richard M. Kuhl, 81 am informed
that party lines arc practically obliterated.
The question is simply for or against sill
yer, and l believe the friends OF silver are
largely in the majority" Turning to a
client who was waiting to state his bust
ness, Senator Kuhl said: ''Mr. Fowler,
you are farmer and Republican how
do You find II 2"
"Just about as you have stated it,
Judge" was the reply. "We don't care
anything about party this year we are
going to see II free silver wont do us
farmers some good.
Senator Kuhl expressed the opinion that
if the silver sentiment was as strong every
where in the State as in Hunterdou, New
Jersey would cast its electoral vote for
Bryan.
Forrest B. Rice Is the Postmaster at
Pennington, and is also the chairman OF
the Democratic County Committee. "Hun-
terdon," said Mr.. Rice, twill give $500
majority for Bryan, and perhaps more.
II the election were next week it would be
5000. The farmers have dropped politics
and this year will vote for self-interest
In the upper part of the county the silver
sentiment is particularly strong and
am told that in some localities it Is impos-
sible TO find man who will vote for Me-
Kinley.' Mr.. Rice then told about the
monster farmers picnic held near Elem
ington last week, which was attended by
1000 or 10, 900 people, and said that every
person present seemed to be for silver. So
intolerant were they of opposition that
they Kissed Congressman McEwan, OF Jer-
sey City, when he attempted to make q
speech upon the opposite side.
The above is from a correspondent oil
tho Mammal N.o3uo To Tud0a X uhl1a 10,
gal opinions were as erroneous as his pc.
liticsl forecasts they would not draw from
s. to $500 from his clients pockets. Az
10 postmaster Rice, he must have been
attempting to work off a sell on the re.
porter. Hunterdon will show reduced
Democratic majority this Fall.

One Of the immediate causes of the fail
ure of the firm OF Hilton, Hughes & Co.
COT New York city, was the fact that II had
80 many customers OF good financial
standing who do not like TO pay their
bills promptly. II is said that it had on
its books 100000 due by wealthy
people who settle their bills once
year. OF course, there were other
reasons to force the assignment, but this
was one. IL is an experience common TO
tradesmen of oil classes. There are
great many people who appear to have
an invincible repugnance TO settling any
sort Of a bill promptly Even when it
would not cost them the slightest incon-
venience to pay at once, they seem TO
think it the proper thing to keep trades
med waiting six months or a year and a
half. These customers may be good
customers and sure pay in the end, but
just the same it often goes hard with the
dealers to wait so long for their money

1t would seem, in view of the extent of
the Silver discussion, that about every.
body would know exactly the status of
silver money under eur present laws
but In discussion by u group of public
men, it WAS quickly shown that majority
OF them didn't know. majority of the
group contended that the silver was not
legal tender in sums exceeding $40, and
it required the production Of copy OF
the Revised Statutes OF the United States
10 convince them to the contrary. The
act of 1873, generally spoken of as the
decentralization of silver, dropped the silver
dollar entirely from our coins and pro-
vided that /" the silver coins OF the United
States shall be legal tender at their nom
inal value for any amount not exceeding
So In any one payment, but this part OF
the act was superseded five years later,
Feb. 29th, 1878, by the Bland act, which
provided for the coinage of our present
silver dollars, and provided further that
they "together with all silver dollars here
to-fore coined by the United States, OF
like weight and fineness, shall be legal
tender at their nominal value for all debts
and dues, public and private, except
where otherwise expressly stipulated in
the contract" This is the law. Silver
dollars are to day legal tender in any
amount for and indebtedness, not stipula-
ted to be paid in some other particular
kind of money. The act OF 1890, which
provides that silver coins OF less than 81
shall be legal tender in all sums not
exceeding $40, is probably responsible for
the prevalence of the silver dollars are
only legal tender to that amount. AS a
matter of fact, the silver coins OF less
than one dollar are full legal tender IN
amounts up to ten dollars no matter what
sort OF contract may have been made as
to payment in other money.

The fact which must be the most dis.
couraging to the Bryan Democrats Is
that not one OF Democratic newspapers
in the North which boiled the Chicago
ticket has reconsidered its position and
decided to support Mr.. Bryan. There
were nearly two hundred OF these news
papers, and TO day they stand where
they were one week after the Chicago
convention adjourned. or the boiling
Democratic newspapers in the South only
three have gone backbone in Alabama
and two in Georgia. The others are as
mraA opposed to Organism as ever. The
steadiness displayed by these organs of
public opinion must show the Bryan
Democrats that the bolts against the
Chicago ticket was no momeniary i'm
pulse, but that it is founded on principle
and will be maintained to the end. This
is one of the most ominous signs for the
Bryanites. -Phitadellolia Press

Newark "Sunday Call": Some men
may fear that MIR. McKinley's strong

will cost him Democratic votes. We

Government expenses largely exceed its
receipts, the deficit this month being
about $50, 900, 900 and there must be an
increase made 10 the tariff rates. Demo-
