81 have no desire, said Mr.. Rozier
ito undertake the washing of dirty
linen in the Republican ranks, but if
l did, Filley's linen would take a
whole years work.
"Filley talks of his devotion to the
Republicans and declares himself a
slayer. In the Minneapolis conven.
ton he openly declared he would take
a rest and that 10, 200 Missouri Re-
publicans would take a rest with him.
He stayed out of the campaign of 1892
because he had been turned down.
He ran for Mayor against Ewing, and
under a claim of regularity encom
passed Ewing's defeat. That's the
kind of a slayer he is. He stays out
whenever ne cannet rule.
81 have always been an ~anti-Filley
a In 1880 ] was for Blaine and in
opposition to Grants proposed third
term. As an avowed anti-Filley man
was elected a delegate to Mime
polls by the Piedmoutconvention, and
when Filley says l betrayed my con-
stituency he utters a whole-clOth lie.
Il was not a Kerens man either, but
in order to elect an anti-Filley man to
the National Committee l voted for
Kerens' The full strength of the Mis-
souri, delegation was not cast at
Minneapolis, there being but thirty
two votes, and as the balloting was
secret no one a say how anybody
voted, except upon voluntary state
ment, and l never knew of anybody
but Filley saying Kerens voted for
himself,
"Filley's chargc that l was promised
anything for my service during the
last campaign is absolutely untrue.
It never entered my head to become an
applicant for the United States Dist
riot Attorneyship until after McKin-
ley's election, and l may say without
vanity that every Republican in the
Thirteenth Congressional District is
for me.
''Filley seems to be living entirely
upon newspaper n%otOriety. Since he
has become an assistant Democrat, l
presume, he considers his present
warfare CONSTANT with his plan of
campaign ~againstthe Republicanpsrt
This sort of assistance appears to be
specially needed to prevent the Re-
publicans from carrying Missouri
next year, for even Sam Cook admits
the prospect Of Democratic defeat is
imminent unless fusion with the POpu-
lists shall be maintained"

Cairo Citizen: At a conference OF
Republican members of the General
Assembly held in Springfield Tuesday
it was agreedto hold a special session
of the Legislature to pass a e Sen
atorial apportionment. Ninety-four
of the I2I Republican members were
present. COY. Tanner and Senator
Cullom were present and made
speeches urging the necessity of this
action. Tho ill is to be prepared by
sixteen members of the Legislature,
six from Chicago and ten from the
State outside. Eight of these are to
be selected from the machine mem
bers, or those who supported the bill
presented at the last session. anc
eight are to be chosen from the anti
machine members. 1t is believed
that a fair apportionment can be made

lively and un~reservedly denounced

and un-Republican from every stand
point, and declared that they simply

Filley deserved to forfeit the respect
and support OF Republicans by allow

THE INTEREST
interest Rates Are Lowerin Gold Than
in silver Standard Countries.

Interest Rates Are Lowerin Gold Than
in Silver Standard Countries.
It will pay silverites who want cheap
morey-that is, money at low rates of
interest-to study the rates Of interest
charged in gold and silver standard
countries and to compare the average
rates of interest on certain classes of
loans in sound money states, which
never favor reputation, and in states
which favor free coinage and which
sometimes favor reputation of debts.
1t is difficult to get exact figures of in
terest rates in different states and coun-
tries, but the statistics obtaiDable are
not favorable for the farmer who votes
Tor free silver with the expectation that
it would enable him to borrow money
ct low rates of interest.
According TO the last census, the aver
age rate of interest on farm mortgages
In 1890 was 7.36 per cent. The rate has
undoubtedly declined since then. ez-
cept. perhaps, in certain states which
r voting and legislating against cap
ital. The rate Is also higher than on
most other classes Of securities. II Is
probable that the average rate Of inter
est in this country is now considerable
less than six per cent In England.
France, Germany and many other gold
standard countries il IL undoubtedly
less than five per cent. We have. how
ever, put the rate on the barometer al
six per cent.
In Mexico, Central and South Amer.
lean countries and in most other coun-
tries on a silver basis the rates OF inter
est will probably average more rather
than less than ten per cent. Statistics
on ordinary loans on farm mortgages
are not available for comparison il
these countries. Perhaps the most
available are those prepared BY Prof.
Fisher and published in august,
1895. By the American Economic asseci
