follows:

DEAR SIR:-I have your favor OF tho
ith instant and do not wonder that your
city editor thinks that the date, 1851. liz n
mistake but therein lies the especial In
tcrest Of the incident. My memorandum
was printed in the Wheeling Gazette
(Wharton. edltor) on March $. 1851. and It
read as follows: Ia. 1a657=

An English colony settled on Roanoke
Island In 15S7-was left there by Raleigh
and when he returned In 1880 nothing could
be found Of them, and their fate to this
day has never been nscertnined.
My theory was that this William Welsh
might have been one OF those settlers who
was taken captive by the Indians and car
ried to this part Of Ohio: that his life was
perhaps snvcd by an Indian called Turn
Nedo' at the expense OF his own, and that
he placed on his grave the mica with m

SIMPLY AWFUL.

This is awful. now isn't it? G. F..
Rheinhart, of Newton, in speech de-
livered before the demo-pop county
convention, at Abba, declared that
Congressman Lacey had voted for the
establishment of an army post at Des
Moines, that the soldiers might be
used in shooting the miners when out
on a strike" Such blood-thirstiness
on the part of the sixth district con-
gresham should entitle him to a
front rank among the Chinese boxers.
Mr.. Rheinhart must have taken his au-
dience for ignoramuses, or else he was
himself woefully ignorant of the meth
DDS of doing things in Iowa. Not since
the civil war has there been a call for
United States troops by any governor
OF Iowa for any purpose whatever.
The sovereign state of Iowa
attends to her own affairs in
her own way, and in case of riot OF a
disturbance her own militia are called
out to preserve order, and it is signif-
icant fact that they have never failed
to do SO either. Congressman Lacey
voted for the United States military
post at Des Moines for the purpose of
securing to the people of Iowa some of
the good things that are being distrib-
uted around the country by the federal
government, and if he had not voted
for this measure Mr.. Demo-pop Rhein-
hart would have been one of the first
to most severely condemn him for not
looking after the interests of his con-
StituentS

Mr.. BRYAN AND BIMETALLlsM.

Hon. J. Sterling Morton, in the Con-
servative: In his speech of accept
ance, Mr.. Bryan assumes that interna-
tional bimetallism and the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
OF 16 to l are identical. Henri Ger
nuschi who was one of the leading BIZ
metallists of Europe and an advocate
of international bimetallism said:
"The melting pot is the test of coin
ed money, and that which loses value
in melting is bad money and that
which does not is good money"
Farmers and all other sensible folk
should demand, when they buy money
with their products or services, the
highest standard and quality of money.
And if gold and silver are to be coined
freely and in unlimited quantities by
the United States, then equity and
honesty must insist that:
amy quantity of either metal in the
form of bullion must be of exactly the
same value as the same quantity Of
the same metal in the form of coin"
But If the unlimited and free coinage
of silver at the unphilosophical, illog
ical and false ratio of 16 to 1 is to be
instituted and silver thus made legal
tender at mint and coin value which
is twice its bullion value, this basic
principle of rightful coinage will have
been abrogated and defied. Under the
operation of the Gresham law, gold
will disappear from the channels of
american commerce and silver will
take it's place. All that we sell for
eigners will be paid for in silver, and
ali that we buy from them will be paid
Tor in gold, and we also will pay the
premium on that gold. In short. we
will be monetarily Mechanical, and
no class will suffer SO great a proper
ton of the calamitous loss, which this
will cause, as American farmers.

Mr.. sTEcK AT BUNCH.

Last Saturday evening Mr.. Steck,
candidate for congress on the demo-
cratic ticket in this district, delivered
political address at Bunch in Davis
county. The Courier sent special re-
porter to the meeting and elsewhere
in this issue we publish an extended
and accurate report of what Mr., Steck
said upon this occasion. We COM
mend it to the perusal of every voter
in the sixth congressional district. Mr..
Steck possesses genial personality
and his effort to make himself person
ally popular with the voter, tho some
what overdone, calls for no spe-
cial criticism. However, man may
be the most genial fellow in the world,
and yet if he does not vote right on
the great questions Of the day, be a
most lamentable failure in serving the
people as a legislator. Mr.. Steck is
asking the voters of the sixth district
to send him to congress. What does
Mr.. Steck propose to do if he should
ge. there? Mr.. Steck is posing when
at home, (Otturnwa), and in certain
other parts of the district as sound
money democrat; yet in Davis county
he is hob-nobbing with the rankest
populists and is giving at least tacit
consent to their populistic rawlings.
lar. Steck himself, as shown by his
address at Bunch, takes to the bushes
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1900-10-04

on the money question and absolutely
lodges the issue. Has Mr.. Steck the
courage of his convictions, has he the
straightforward manliness to declare
himself upon this momentous issue?
Will you answer Mr.. Steck? Are you
in favor of the immediate restoration
of the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to as demand
ed by the Kansas City platform, and
the platform upon which you are run
ming for congress? Will you or will
you not vote for such law if intro
duced in congress? Provided, of
course, that the people of the sixth dis
trict should do so foolish thing as
to elect you to that body.
Mr.. Steck's statement that employees
were forced by their employers to vote
for Mckinley in 1896, under penalty
of discharge if they did not, is as silly
as it is false. We challenge Mr.. Steck
to cite single authentic instance of
men who marched with a Bryan club,
that lost their jobs and have not got
them back yet" For every such in
stance cited and proven by Mr.. Steck
the Courier will pay. $40 into the demo-
cratic county campaign fund.
The balance of Mr.. Steck's address
is chiefly labored effort to show that
prosperity is NTH and that times
are no better now than they were dur
ing the memorable and melancholy
days of democratic. panic. AS to the
figures presented by Mr. Steck to sus-
tain this absurd contention the Courier
will deal in future articles. AS a gem
eral proposition Mr.. Steck must esti-
mate the intelligent farmers of Davis
county as set of imbeciles or nincom-
poops if he thinks they are going to
believe they are no better off today
than they were four years ago.
We hope Mr.. Steck's speech at
Bunch is fair sample of what he is
going to say to the voters in the other
parts of the district. It's a vote win
ner for the republican ticket.

NATIONAL IMPORTANCE OF THE
RESULT IN IOWA.

Iowa as a whole is overwhelmingly
republican, yet the fact remains that
upon the result of the election in two
congressional districts in this state
depends the question of democratic or
republican organization of the next
house of representatives. That is a
matter of such vital Importance to
the future Of existing republican poll
cies that it cannot be given too much
Importance at this time. The south
ern states will come up to Washing
ton with 140 congressman. The repub-
licans are bound to loose all congress-
men in Kentucky and North Carolina,
and careful estimates show that the
loss of two congressman in Iowa will,
in all probability, mean the organiza-
ton of the house of representatives
by the democrats. Such a result
would be an unspeakable catastrophe.

MORE CALAMITY.

Hon. J. Sterling Morton in the Con-
servative: In the campaign of 1896
Mr.. Bryan made this calamitous pre-
diction if he were defeated:
"If Mckinley and the republican
party are successful and put in power
for the next four years, wages will be
decreased, hard times will come upon
us, and over the land the price of
wheat will go down and the price of
gold will go up; mortgages on our
homes will be foreclosed by the money
lenders; shops and factories will close.
We will export no goods and we will
import from foreign lands all the
goods we use; thus will ruin, want
and misery be with us.
Not content with the ruin which he
predicted in 1896 and the fact that his
prediction was false, he now goes one
step farther and predicts the complete
overthrow and ruin of the republic in
the following words:
To-day we are engaged in a contro.
versy which will determine whether
we are to have a republic in which the
government derives it's just powers
from the consent of the governed, or
an empire in which brute force is the
only recognized source of power.
When such an issue is raised there
can he only two parties-the party,
whatever its name may be, which be-
lieves in republic, and a party, what
ever its name, which believes in an
empire"
Intelligent people will not notice the
idle vaporings of the false prophet and
seer who deceived them in 1896.

THE oTTUNIWA COURIER: THURSDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1906.

1t would tie the hands of the president
and render impossible the carrying
out of republican policies and meas
ures. No Iowa voter who desires to
see Mckinley reelected can under
any circumstances, afford to cast a
vote for democratic congressman.
With democratic congress behind
him Pres. Mckinley would be power
less and the entire progress of the
country so far as dependent upon re-
effectually blocked.
When Mr.. Harrison was elected
president in 1888 the republicans had
only three majority in the house of
representatives, one of these three
was congressman Lacey, of Iowa.
Had Major Lacey and two other re-
publican congressman been defeated
that year the policies inaugurated and
carried out by President Harrison
must have been entirely blocked.
Every voter who is interested in
the continuation of the present pros
porous condition in this country will
not only vote for Mckinley but for the
entire republican ticket. Indeed, in
the sixth and second congressional
districts in this state it is far more i'm
portant that the vote be cast for the
republican congressman than for pres
ident. Mckinley will have the elect
oral vote of Iowa in any event, but the
election of at least two republican con-
gressmen is not entirely sure. The de-
feat of these congressman means a
democratic house of representatives.
Here is fact of transcendent impor-
lance that should be burned into the
consciousness of every voter.
