claimed to the world that we wert
free; and now our army is trying tC
subjugate people who have beer
striving for independence and had
about gained it and to be treated by
our government as they have been is q
blot on Americas name that can
never be erased. 1t is simply an out.
rage, not sanctioned by our people.
Now, my Republican friends, get out
from under the lash and assert your
manhood and help to save the coun-
try. The silver question is Of little
importance compared to the imperial
istic tendencies Of the powers that be.
Still you must admit that II silver was
restored to its ancient rights, that we
would have double the debt paying
money in circulation; our produce
would advance and labor would ad-
vance. both in proportion to the
amount of money In circulation, as it
is an admitted fact that whatever
prosperity we have now is caused by
the increase of money put in circula-
tion during the Spanish and South
African wars. So, in behalf Of debt
ridden people, open the mints and
coin all the silver that comes. Oh,
we hear some bloated bondholders
say that we would repudiate the gov
ernment debt when they had better
advocate the restoration of silver to
secure the payment OF the debt, as the
debt is practically repudiated now as
the enormous debt reaches the noun
famous size of nineteen thousand mill
lions. All the gold and silver in the
world would not pay one-third of the
debt. And at the extravagant gait
they are going now and the interest
on this load of Indebtedness will soon
put the government in the hands Of a
receiver. And again when our silver
is restored foreign countrys would be
compelled to pay s1.29 per ounce for
our silver instead Of 70c at present
bearing, difference of 81 cents per
ounce in our favor. And as silver is
one Of our greatest sources of wealth
and is used by foreign countrys in their
trade with other countrys, who use
silver just to that extent, we loose the
trade for whenever they can use our
silver at a profit they will trade and
the cheapness of our silver further
stimulates that trade.
Now, about the cry Of prosperity
that we hear all over the country.
We will admit that times have inn
proved and know that the more money
that is in circulation the better times.
We are getting more for what we sell
but not near as much more as we have
to pay for what we have to buy as
everything we buy comes through
the trusts that have multiplied and
thrived under McKinley's admlnis-
tration. But we give no credit to
Mckinley for the advance in what we
have to sell. AS the extravagant ex-
penditure In the war with Spain and
the war in the Philippines and the
millions that have been paid our peo-
Pile by England for supplies for her
army in South Africa and the output
Of the Alaskan gold mines, these agen-
cies alone have increased our supply
of money and as we contend plenty Of
money makes good times. But outside
of the money question, we can settle
that later perhaps, but let us save the
country first. Yours truly,
S. e. KENDALL.

SENATOR VEST.


Senator Geo. Vest had a most inter-
esting interview In Mondays Republic
fayoring the Democratic State and
National ticket. This interview is
Characteristic of the '.Old War Horse
and is worthy cltAe reading. Re
ferring to State issues, Senator Vest
says;
"As to the State Of Missouri, can
not be made to believe that the people
are willing to turn over our State
government to the party that mis-
managed and outraged the State for
eleven disastrous years. 1t cannot
surely be forgotten by the voters Of
the State that the Republicans of
Missouri, when in power, sold the
railroads, to build which the people
had been taxed s25, 600 900, for mere
pittance, and that the railroads were
sold for the purpose of enriching syn
tficates and lobbyists who were gath
cred about Jefferson City like carrion
crows. Nor can 1t be forgotten SO
soon that corrupt county courts fast
ened aupon counties and townships
fraudulent bonds for the construction
Of imaginary railroads, some of this
Indebtedness being yet unpaid.
"The credit of the State of Missouri
is now, under Democratic administra-
tion, equal to that Of any State in the
Union, and our bonds, instead of sell
ing at 90 centson the dollar, as they
did under Republican rule, are now
worth more than par
"The statement that the Demo-
cratic party has squandered or dimin-
ished the school fund is baseless
fabrication. We have increased the
fund until it is now larger than that
Of any State in the Union. II any
Democrat has embezzled any portion
Of it, let his name be given, but until
this is done these slanders should
cease.
"We have diminished the rate of
taxation on the farmers Of the State,
while increasing the rate Of assess
ment on the railroads, and we have
paid of s1s,O0O, 900 of the State indebt-
edness since taking charge Of the
State Treasury.
II do not know Mr.. Flory, the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, and
have never heard his name mentioned
In connection with public affairs until
his nomination by the Republican
State Convention. | know Alexander
M. Dockery intimately, having served
in Congress with him for sixteen
years. He was one Of the most eff
cient, untiring and incorruptible Rep
resentativeS ever honored by any con-
stituency, and his retirement from the
House Of Representatives was public
calamity. AS a member of the appro-
priations committee Of the House, he
saved many millions Of dollars to the
people of the United States, and was
the ceaseless enemy Of all. jobs and
schemes TO plunder the Treasury. If
elected Governor, as he will be by an
overwhelming majority, the State will
secure the services of chief executive
whose administration will be one Of
the best in our history.
"The Democratic party never pre-
sented a ticket stronger in personnel
than in this campaign. Each candi-
date for State Office represents the
embodiments of honesty, fearlessness
and excellent citizenship"
