"Indian" Answers DuCois Courier.

Frank Bohren, captain OF the "In-
dian" foot ball team challenged the foot
ball team OF Dubois, which claims the
championship of Central Pennsylvania.
Captain. Bohren stated few facts con-
cerning the standing OF Dubois team
and "Indians, and the Courier comment
ing on the challenge made false state
ment, as 1t has been known to do before.
Why not accept the challeng? That
will settle the championship. A mem.
Der OF the 'Indian" team requsted that
the following be published In answer To
the COurier's falsehoods:
"As to the Indians playing three
games with the "Imperials," that Is
wrong. They only played two games
with them, one at ReynOldsville and
one in Dubois. The first game was
played in Dubois and the Courier states
neither side scored, but did not state
that the "Iudians" made at least two
touchdowns, but the Dubois referee
would not count them; but we are moi
cutters, so we kept Dubois from scor.
ing, which with the aid of the referee
was hard thing to do. When the "Im-
perials" came to Reynoldsville they were
treated like gentlemen and were given
fair shake, but seeing they could moi
win, ran in some ringers they had
brought along for that purpose, think
ing we had the best team we could gel
together, but they were mistaken for
we put In some new players and ran the
score up to $50. AS to rowdyism or
the grounds, neither team took part In
1t, nor had anything to do with it.
st. Marys issued challenge and We
accepted it and arranged to play on
election day, but some OF our players
could not go, therefore we arranged u
have them come to Reynoldsville or
Thanksgiving, but on account of oul
grounds being flooded we had to cance
the date with that team.
The statement that Punxsutawney
offered to give us $4,000, like most o.
the CO,uier's article, is false. They of
fered us $1,000 to play Thanksgiving
but that would not cover expenses and
we would not go. AN INDIAN"

WHEELING. DECEMBER 10. 1900.
Elects Of Bryanite Programme.

Secretary Gage has written an inter-
estlng letter replying to the inquiry Of q
workingman OF Boston, as to the man.
merlin which free coinage OF silver at
16 to and the circulation of so cent
dollars would affect values and prices
whether people would not have to pay
two silver dollars for one dollars worth
of goods, and whether exporters Of
American products would not have to
pay two silver dollars to every one they
now pay to carry those products to for
eign countries; also, whether Mr.. Bry-
ans plan to check trusts by removing
the tariff from articles coming into
competition with trust-made articles
would not operate to close American
factories and suspend American Indus
tries
To these inquiries Secretary Gage re-
turns an emphatic affirmative reply.
and concerning the free trade panacea
as remedy for trusts is clear and
specific when he says:
You further ask whether Mr.. Bry-
ans proposed remedy to check the ex-
tortion Of trusts would be effective. He
proposes to put all goods manufactured
by trusts on the free list, and you In
Quire whether this would not operate to
close factories and suspend Industries
here.
II think you are quite right in your
conclusions. There are two elements
to @ successful trust-flrst, the ability
to manufacture the goods with little or
no competition. and. second. to COM
mand or control the market. II they
can command and control the market It
is not necessary that they should man.
ufacture, and II they could buy goods
in foreign countries and import them
here cheaper than they can manufacture
then, on American soil It would evil
IDENTIFY be for their interest, seldshly
considered, SO to do. Controlling the
markets through numerous established
agencies and importing in, enormous
quantities they could shut out competl-
ton.
"Air. Bryan, I am sorry to say, evil
dences a serious lack OF economic
knowledge. His remedies are hasty In
ventions, good enough. perhaps, to catch
votes. but not good enough TO undergo
the test Of close and careful analysis"
This programme OF Bryan's" CON-
ments the American Economist, alike
as to cheap dollars and cheap foreign
made goods is a fraud and a snare. In
the one case 1t would reduce the value
of every mans wages or salary: in the
other case 1t would reduce every mans
chance TO earn wages or salary. Either
one of these propositions. standing
alone. would inflict tremendous injury
upon every man who works for wages
Coupled together and enacted Into the
law OF the land, free silver and free
trade would wreck the country and
everybody in it,
