PEFFER'S BOLD SPEECH. Cheaper Money Wanted and Must Have It. HEAVY MORTGAGES IN THE WEST. What II Knni of Wall Street Men and Method Farming Fifty Veara Ago and Now The Manner In Which Railroad Do the llu.lnrs. New YoitK, June 23. About three- fourlhs of the euts in the liirgo hall in Cooper I'nioo were filial lust night with appreciative listener to United ftate Senator 1'efTer from Kan ns, who spoke on tbe third party movement. The chairman of the meeting told his hearers that one of the arguments against the third party was that they had no leader. In America, he said, no leader was needed, and at no period In n nation's history was a man needed to Gil a gap t hat one was not found. The Old I'artlet Denounced. He then called upon the secretary, Mr. Stanton, to read a series of resolutions which denounced the old political parties and charged that, the government had been run in tbe Interest of trusts and monopolies, and that the issues of free trade and the tariff are fictitious ones and are forced upon the people for the purpose ol diverting attention from the more im portant questions of land, money and transportation. Senator Peffer said that thirty-two years ago a man from the western prairies warned the people of the east aguiust a power that was seeking to control legisla' tion. That man said then that all should be slaves or all should be free, PeflTer's Pungent Remarks. "Iam the lineal descendant," at Id he, "of that man, and I tell you here in the center of the moneyed power of the coun try, winch is greater than the slave power. that Wall street moneyed interests have the people by the throat, and you of the east and we of the west must destroy that power or it will destroy us. When the men of Wall street dictate a policy to the secretary of the treasury it is adopted. When they oppose It it is defeated. When ever the bankers of Wall street need any money they ask their partner in Washing ton to assist them, and he does it, "But when the farmers ask their friends in Washington for a dollnr they never get a farthing, nor do they get any assistance through legislation, and ull this we intend to change. We do not propose to take away a man's property; on the contrary, we will protect every man's property. We are not anarchists. We will arm our le gions with the ballot nndnot with the bay onet Xo rumbling cannon or grim visaged war will march with our armies. Fifty Years Ago and Now. "Fifty years ago the farmer made his own implements, spun his own clothing from fiber grown ou his own farm. He did not need money, because his wants were supplied by barter, not by sale. In place of the shoemaker, who came once a season to make the shoes for the family, six storied buildings turn out shoes nowadays so oiieap that the farmer sells his product for cash and buys his shoes in the stores. . Nowadays it is only bonanza farming that pays. The capitalist who owns 30,000 or 40,000 acres, and hires an army of help where one reaping machine mows sixty .tve acres in one day, that is the only sort . f farmers who make money. Jio Money In Farming. "I came through Massachusetts and as I drove over the lierksuire hills I counted no less than seven signs offering farms for sale. The owners all said that there was no money in farming. We want cheap money. I don't mean money t hat is worth nothing. We want good money, any kind, but we want it at a lower rate of in terest than we are now paying. If a muu invests his money in a farm he has to work hard to get a small interest. If another man invests the same amount in a mort gage his money goes to work the iustant the deed is signed. Tays His Renpeuts to Hankers. "He can afford to sit in idleness and let the other fellow work for him. The men of Wall street who write 'Twenty-eight Years in the Street' and tell how they gave their money to save the Union, didn't tell that they bought the bonds at fifty cents on the dollar, at 12 percent, interest, and when the victory was won and peace reigned they immediately went to work and had these bonds made equal to a gold standard. Heavy Mortgages. "Those same men want the secretary of the treasury to figure on the 2 per cent, bond now. Suppose he lets the farmers have a little money at 3 per cent. ? Our lands are as good as their bonds. If they don't give us cheaper money we will fight. These are not threats, but warnings. In Iowa there is 111(9,000,000 in mortgages at tl04 to tho head. Of this one-third is on city lots and two-thirds on farm property. In my own state, for tho past ten years, $400,000,000 has been recorded in mort gages. Of that amount t l0,000,0oo is for farms, the total value of the farm lands being $liS, 000,000. How Railroad Work It. "The railroads, which are managed by abler financiers tbuu farmers, mortgage their property for four aud five times their value." Senator Peffer spoke of the importance of women in politics, and pointed to his own victory over Senator Iugalls as the result of their aid. On Trial for Thirteen Year. Council Ul.rm, la., Juno 23.

A SSETCH OF HIS PUBLIQ LITE. He Was One of the Most Notable Figures In Nntional Politic III Presidential Ambition Was Not Satlafled HI Plat form. Indianapolis, June 22. Kx-Seuator Mc Donald died at 11:3 o'clock lat night. With Joseph Kwlng McDonald there passes away one of the most notable Hg' ures iu nntional politics. For over a half century has tbe greatest of old time Hoosier Democrats after Hendricks been before the people. McDonald was born in Butler county, O., Aug. 29, 1SIH, and his father died when he was an infant. When he was only eleven years old McDonald was apprenticed to a saddler. To this fact is due his sobriquet, "Old Saddle bags." Took to Studying Law. In the "thirties" McDouald determined to secure a collegiate education and be come,a lawyer. He was graduated In 1842 from the Asbury university, aud four years later was admitted to the bar. After serving three years as attorney geueral he was seut to congress. He served only cue term tu the house, being beati-n for a return by Oliver P. Morton. He then became ambitious to go to the senate, and undertook the reorgan ization of the Democratic party iu Misstate, which had been sadly demoralized during me war. Elected Senator. lie was maue cnairman ol the Demo cratic state central committee, aud in 1874 the Democrats captured the legislature by a fair majority. In return for his services McDonald was elected to the United States senate and took his seat Murch 4. 1873. He held it for six years. During bis term be made himself very popular socially. His home at the national capital was a resort lor senators aud congressmen. Mrs. McDonald had been a wife before becom- lug the senator's bride. The senator acted as her counsel in proceedings which re sulted in nn absolute separation from her former husband, and the Hoosier Demo crat shortly afterward married her. Presidential Aspiration. Few men of more intense nnrtisanshin man .ucuonam ever entered the senate. His platform then, as reneatedly ex pressed by him, was: "Jacksoniau Democ racy and Free Trade." Hecently, how ever, when his party shouted tho shilv boleth of fren silver, McDonald embraced every possible occasion to denounce the scheme to degrade the American dollar by making eighty cents worth a hundred cents. McDonald had a strong following in the ISM and 1S8S Democratic presiden tial conventions. Many Indianinns fa vored his nomination for the presidency iu ltM. The national bosses of the part v wouldn't listen to it, but put up Cleveland, witn Hendricks for second place. Four rears later he was pressed for the vice presidency, but Indiana was iguored. Since that dis appointment the ex-senator has devoted himself to his profession. The funeral of ex-Senator McDonald will take place in Indianapolis next Wednesday afternoon. THE TREASURY STATEMENT. An Apparant Deficit of 8787,117 Cap tain Maclellun' Figures. Washington, June 20. The cash bal ance on the treasurer's books for the day was $43,001, '-i, but of this sum ?2),7,411 was on deposit in national banks and $20,- 220,'JUO was iu fractional silver, leaving a deficit in the available cash of $787,117. Captaiu Muclellan. chief of the warrant division of the treasury department, said that the actual receipts for the month and the cash balance on hand at the beginning of the month slightly overbulunced the drafts ho had drawn. The ensh balance June 1, according to his figures, was $10, 138,000; the receipts up to Thursday were 18,222,000; the receipts r'riday were iS03.. 000, muking a total of $20,223,000. The warrants drawn, including Friday, he gave at $20,411,000, making nn excess of receipts and cosh on humi of $2,812,000. The reason for the difference betweeu his figures and those of the treasurer is. he said, the fact that his cover the latest warrants, while the treasurer's statement is two or three days behind. Novel Way or Collecting a Debt. Pueblo, Colo.. June 22. A constable of the town of Kuds, in Kiowa county, held up the Missouri Pacific express for three hours. The salary of an employe of the road hnu been garnished by a citizen ot Kads, but the company had neirlected to settle, and the matter was placed in tbe hands of the constable. When the express stopped at Kads the constable boarded the cab of the engine and served papers attach ing the same. Nearly three hours were spent in telegraphiug the superintendent of the road, who finully ordered the pay meut of the money demanded by the con stable. A postal inspector was on the de layed train, and it is likely that suit will be brought ngainst the constable for inter cepting the mulls. Locomotive Knglneer Meet. Cnwnitn.
