A Great Fraud and Conspiracy.

The Internal Revenue Bureau has
been notified Of the discovery OF over
half million cigars, manufactured by
Jacobs, at Lancaster, Pa. and bearing
counterfeit stamps Three hundred
Thousand OF these were found in Jacobs
own factory at Lancaster 20, 900 In
San Francisco, 80 COO in Philadelphia.
100. 900 In Cincinnati. 1000 in Toledo,
and s, 500 in the First New York dis
trict. 1t is believed that this amount
will be largely increased. as the search
goes on.
Orders we're issued TO revenue agents
to seize all cigars made at Jacobs FAC
tory wherever found. and later on they
will be sold at auction, the purchasers
to restamp them. Proceeds will be
turned into Treasury. What relief. II
any, will be extended to innocent pur-
chasers Of the Jacobs cigars has not
been determined.
The seizure Of cigars has been going
on all over the country, and on Monday
the climax in the gigantic counterfeit
conspiracy was brought to light In
Philadelphia, when former U. s. Dis
trict Attorney Ingham, OF that city, and
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Downey, OF Lancaster, Pa. were ar
rested by Secret Service officers charged
with aiding the chief counterfeiters In
their efforts to food the country with
bogus Treasury notes and internal rev.
enue tobacco stamps. Downey Is alleg-
cd to have informed Jacobs that Secret
Service Agent Burns was after them.
The arrest Of Ingham created a great
sensation. on account Of his prominence
and his former connection with the
government.

before Commissioners Edmunds, and

THE TIDE AGAINST BRYAN.
Belmont TO Bryan.

Former Representative Perry Bel
mont's reply to the letter written to
him two weeks ago by William j. Bry-
an is made public Now that the letter
has been made public, Ii has brought to
light conversation which Mr.. Bryan
had with Oliver H. p Belmont in Buff
falo last week. Mr.. Bryan was expect
cd to receive Mr.. Perry Belmont's reply
and he told Mr.. o. II. p. Belmont that
he had been thinking Of turning 1t over
30 him to be answered. Mr. Bryan
spoke in about these words:
Il have almost decided to turn over
to you your brothers letter to me. and
ask you to answer 1t. think that VIII
write to him and say that you are
good Democrat and act like one, and
that he can receive instructions IN the
principles Of the party from you.
In his last letter to Bryan Perry Bel
mont says;
You were invited to dine with the
Democratic Olub on the anniversary OF
Jefferson's birthday, which the club has
heretofore celebrated. Instead OF &C.
cepting or declining the invitation you
asked my present opinion OF the Chioa.
90 platform Of three years ago. l re-
piled for the club that individual opin'
ions had nothing TO do with the invita-
ton. ThereupOn you sent TO me per
sonal letter describing me as Repub-
lican Incorporating a. Democrat, as
unfit to celebrate the anniversary OF
Jefferson's birthday, because con-
demned the Chicago platform and your
candidacy, and altogether displaying an
undisguised intention TO be offensive
while answering dinner invitation.
Had more consideration been given to
your accusation you would have seen
that those who endeavOr TO per-
suade the Democracy 10 use the more or
less discarded inventions OF Republi
cans are the masqueraders and not those
who stand in the old paths hsllowed by
the footsteps Of Jefferson. Madison and
Jackson -
Mr.. Belmont quotes from Mr. Bryan s
book, THE First Battle. oshow that
Mr. Bryan in 1894 entered into an
agreement with Populists, Silver Re-
publicans and Silver Democrats to build
free silver platform in contradiction
to the Democratic platform OF 1892.
Mr. Belmont says:
You condemn me now because ad-
vocate modification in 1900 OF the
Chicago platform. Yet four years ago
this month you were conspiring with
Populists and Republicans like Senator
Teller and with silver mine owners TO
overthrow at Chicago the Democratic
policy Of 1892. Is it not grote'que!
Mr.. Belmont closes his letter thus;
THE platform Of 1896 came from the
hard times which disappeared when the
peril OF Populism and silver monometal-
lism had passed. That powder cannot.

The money in circulation in the
United States has more than doubled
in the last twenty years; 1t has In.
creased 80 per cent since 1856, and

that period Of the year in the history
of our country. At that date it was

was $23 GO; April 1. 1897, S23 Oh, and
April /, 1896. S2l53.
The increase in gold coin in circula-

approaches contrition for the act we

healed his wounds, fed him, hired a
