Every evening open meetings are held in the court house and at the churches in the day time. ing Mr. Wolley is on time to brace up | the temperance people to fight the dif. ferent applications for liquor license, Tne fight between the Hill and Cleveland forces in New York state continues with more bitterness than ever. The result of this is to render either of these leaders as impossible candidates for the Democratic presiden- tial nomination. David B. Hill made a bad move in opposing Cleveland and the sentiment of the press and the public is bitter against him. He deserves all of it, in this bold move he *made the mistake of his life. - Tis week the Lottery Sheet, accord. ing to predictions, will give out seyerul columns of its usual slush and political bigotry in an attack upon our demo- cratic board of county commissioners, According to their idea democratic of- ficials, who don’t furnish them with rich printing steals, big contracts for election blanks, ete., are bad men.

A. K.McCrLuRe Dean Sik: ama subseriber to your Waex LY Times. A few days since | saw an article in the New York Press telling what the free coinage of sliver meant. [I was so entirely different from my understanding of it—and, as I believe an untrue explanation-that I would | be glad to have you publish in your paper what the free eolhage of silver really means. Many others are, as | am, uncertain what it really is I am yours respectfully, Jan. = O.B. Heitor There are two theories pressed upon the government for the coinage of sil- | ver—one calling for limited coinage and | the other for free or unlimited coinage. { Thus far the government has adhered | to limited coinage, but has steadily in- creased the amount of monthly coinage | of silver until the present time. The present silver coinage law was | passed July 14, 1890, and went into ef. { fect thirty days thereafter. It provides | for the purchase by the government of | 4,5000 000 ounces of silver monthly, or | 80 much thereof as may be offered, at | the market price, which must not ex. ceed 81 per 371 25.100 grains of pure | silver, and issue therefore bullion treas. ury notes of the United States, These notes are receivable for all debts, public | | and private, and redeemable in silver or | The sum of $2,000,000 of silver | | gold. standard dollars was required to be coined from the bullion so purchased {until July 1, 1801, and thereafter so { much thereof ‘as may be necessary to provide for the redemption of the treas. | ury notes.” | The demand for free or unlimited i coinage of silver comes from two classes, First, the miver producers who are a very small but rich and powerful lass, | who want to sell their silver to the gov. | ernment at 25 per cent, above its market { price, by getting a legal tender dollar | (intrinsically worth 75 cents) for 75 cents worth of silver. Second, by a large debtor class that has been deluded xoney will in some way, they don’t exactly know how, help them to pay their debts, The silver producers demand what is purely a speculation on their side and a fraud on the government and people, They want to get legal tender dollars for 75 cents worth of silver, as free coinage means the delivery of bullion at the mint and getting it coined free of charge. Thus every owner sof silver into the belief that cheap and debased | | bullion would deliver it at the United | States Mint and get in return for it the { amount of coin it would produce; or $75 { worth of silver would give the bullion { #100 in legal tender coin, This would { be a monstrous fraud, and only lators and dupes favor it, Many classes were tempted into the free silver Specu- farmers and other industrial coinage tide because of the hopeless in- of large they, in their despair, have been misled debtedness numbers: and into the belief that cheap and increased money would help them out of their embarrassments, based money would pay their debts, but it would also increase the cost of every- thing they consame, and thus leave them worse off than before, because of the general impairment of public and private credit, Speculators and jobbers can stand cheap or dishonest money, but every industrial class must lose by i! - -_— - Declines to be sa Candidate The following communication was sent to the committeegMonday by his Honor, Judge Furst, in reply to appeal from the Huntingdon bar for his entering the list an for supreme court judge kine (GENTLEMEN Very i re. wt to be a candidate wr the office of & of the ved a few days sin of my warm Assure you [4 ap- the courtesy conta ] nea your res for the members of this bar. | shall never be unmindful ship.
