Aftor snending three weeks in Missouri,

silverism is dying out in its southwest

the ghost of the gleenD1ck craze when
set the farmers wild in 1850. When ask
ed o. ID. Austin. of the Bates County
Record. what had caused the stampede
The farmers were deceived. They
thought free coinage would be cOn.inua-

"The farmer kept saying when Cleve-
land was buying gold TO pay the expenses
of the Government. why don't he pay
silver for gold? IL has now dawned on
the farmer that the Government bought
gold for something worth less than coined
silver. II bought gold for paper. The
Government gave paper note. If II had
bought gold with coined silver. II would
have paid nifty cents worth OF silver ana
fifty cents worth Of guarantee by the
Government. II has dawned on the

farmers are using have not been demon

Then continued Mr.. Austin. when
Bryan kept saying in all his speeches that
gold had appreciated, that II had gone
up. and our gold dollar was worth 10
cents. the farmer said: What are we SELL
ing our wheat and cotton for? Why, we
are selling our products for this double
priced gold. where dollar is worth 20
cents. Wc are getting twice as much
value for our corn and pork as we VIII
get If we have free coinage and drop the
price of gold They now see that Bryan
was lying 10 them. Bryan said the gold

the farmers see the banks full OF gold.

Cleveland. Ohio. Aug. 2.-Profs-sor
Henry w. Elliott wrote scsthing letter
to the Plain Dealer regarding Lord Sails
bury's seal conference. supplementinG tn.
one of q few days ago to Assistant Secr--
tary Day. He wrote:
'ln the foreign disps tches Sunday
morning there appears an entirely mis-
leading account OF our fur seal confer
ence. which Lord Salisbury has hnally,
al the urgent personal appeal OF John
Hay, authorized. I protest against this
studied attempt to deceive the people
az TO the scope and extent of that con-
ference and the inference which may he
drawn. that IL II to be OF the slightest
gain to the American ease. In the first
place We have had the official and curt
refusal of Lord Salisbury to reopen the
seal question In any way. This refusal
WAS made on April q last. and not a
thing has taken place since which has AL
tered Salishury's stand. Fosters trip to
London only strengthened tn. British
premier's hand. The calling In of the
Russian and japanese sg,nts 10 this In
formal conference. will not have the
slightest effect one way or the other on
the stand the British agents may take
and have taken. Canada controls this
matter absolutely. She has an unusually
easy task as thinrs are nov directed on
our side. She will again skln Foster as
clean ~ she did at Paris In 1883.

II no significance In this. All OF the
mines were closed from Is to 20 days

that no standard silver dollars were
coined. IL was said that the supply on
