STEPHENS said:
| Missouri brings glad udings to
her sister States to-day.
Trusts no longer hold sway in
her jurisdiction.
| How about the street railway
trust Of St. Louis. While the At
ncy-General and the courts were
checking the trusts in Missouri he
Legislature passed and Gov. Steph-
ems approved a special law grant
ing trust promoters the privilege
Of consolidating and monopnliziny
AL the street railway property in
tie city Of ST. Louis and of issuing
without limit stocks and bonds to
cover the monopoly value of this
property. Under this special law
street railway trust has been
formed and capitalized for 500.

than S25. 100000. The profit of

Fools or patriots.-Whioh!

| had q conversation. short
time since. with an old friend liv-
ing in Southeast Missouri, in which
he expressed himself to the follow
ing effect:
Don mistake ne. am not a
gold bug. or q mnnometalist. but |
don't know where l am at. ! sup
ported Bryan. and am still in favor
Of coinage of silver, yet | find my
self wondering whether as Mis-
sourian. | am a id fool ora great
patriot.
Let NE explain. When we
began the cry for unlimited ccin-
age Of silver. lead in our part Of
the country, was ranging from
So 45 to 81 per 100 pounds, and
labor received 81 to ST. 20 per day.
The mining interests were not
large, as they are to-day, but we're
considerable. and gave market
for our produce.
Then came the bill to purchase
silver and issue certificates. I'm
mediatesy up started every low
grade. argenliferons. galena mine
in Colorado. Utah. Nevada. and
other parts of tue West. mines
which could not be worked at Il
profit fo, lead alone.
Then came Il olnt in the lead
market. and lead in Missouri went
down to $3.50 per 100 pounds. and
wages to s. to 80 cents per day.
We all felt it-farmers, miners.
merchants. and all. No one wss
prospecting for lead. and no oRe
wanted to purchase land.
''Now, when the government is
no longer purchasing silver. the
| low grade ores Of the West are
not WORK ed. the over-laden lead
market has been cleared up. and
lead in Missouri has advanced
from s.. 40 to s4.6o per hundred.
wages from S5 to 30 cents to S1.20
to Sl.9o per day. There is de-
mand for produce, merchants are
selling more goods. and lands.
which were a drug at $50 to $40.
are selling at $3.50 to $500 per
acre. Millions of dollars have
come into the country in purchasin Q
lands and erecting machinery and
everything that was desoiate looks
+ prosperous.
/ Yet. becanse Dick Bland was
honest and courageous. and because
we are Democrats, we are bowling
for free silver and Bryan. Are VIC
all ID fools. or are we great
patriots, putting love of country
