FLOWER SCOPES" A POINT.
He Calls Attention to tile Inconsistencies
in the Remarks of the Boy Ora
tor, Wii'iiam J. Bryan.
Wntertown, N. Y., Aug. 21. Kx
Oovernnr Flower was elected president
of the Sound Money Democratic? club
at Its meeting tonight. The organiza
tion has over IVI members. In his
speech of acceptance tiovornor Flower
discussed a point in Mr. Bryan's recent
deliverance which has not been touched
upon by others. He said: "I want to
call your attention to a part of Mr.
Ilryan's recent spi-eeh In New York. In
which he unconsciously disclosed bis
character. To ullay the apprehensions
of the debtor, that free silver legisla
tion, might not be enacted before the
creditor could call In Ms loans or fore
close the mortgage. Mr. Uryan said:
'If in .November the people dec-l ire
themselves In favor of-the Immediate
restoration of bimetallism, the system
can be inaugurated within a few
months.' This, he says, can be done by
the virtue of the president's power to
convene congress In extraordinary ses
sion. The debtor has said: 'How shall
I tie able to pay my debts at the rate of
fi.1 cents on the dollar since it will take
three months nt least to enact th
necessary legislation and In thut time
my creditor will have ln-en able to call
In my loan or foreclose his mortgage?'
Mr. Kryan reassures him and appeals
to his dishonesty by saying: "Just as
soon aa I am president 1 shall rush the
system through before the creditor has
n chance to cmH In Ms loan or fore
close his mortgage." Why this hurry?
Mr. Bryaa. Obvloualy you believe in
the debasement of the dollar wljich will
allow the dishonest debtor to repudiate
his debts. A nd how does Ki Kryan
reconcile this with the assertion III a
prior part of liis speech thut f'eo oolti
uge will raise the price of silver bul
lion to $1.3 per ounce, meastjred by
gold? He cannot reconcile the two state
ments, because if Hie former ,1s true
then there would bo no need fon hurry
ing, because the debtor would; not be
benefit! d if silver goes to par with gold.
Hut that Mr. Hr'yan knows tiiat his prior
assertion is false, and that silver will
not advance. Is shown by his liter as
surance, that "the system" will he in
augurated hefoie the creditor has a
chance to collect what Is owing;to him.

whose honor he so grossly insults- by

Mount Cretna, f'n., Aug. 21. Senator
lieujaiidn Tillman, of South Carolina,
made an address here today for free
liliver to the. fanners gathered to attend
the Mount Crietna agricultural fair.
About 700 people, mostly farmers, made
up Senator Tillman's audience. The
speaker was given respectful attention
and was frequently applauded. Sena
tor Tillman sulci:
"I shall conllne my remarks almost
entiicly, to the money question. We are
face to face with a crisis. We have
passed through two or three other
crises in our government. One in lSitL'.

through its committee, called upon Mr.

I believe 'liryan is honest and true, lie
Is not going to say or do anything that

have these two men before us on that

noopl,., not ton groat a man to shake

other Is too h Ifh like drover Cleve
land, who has surrounded himself by
detectives to protect himself from us
sr."sination. Senator Tillman then wont into an
elaborate discussion and exposition of
the money question. He then proceed
ed to answer the recent address by
Poitiltc Cockran, which ho pronounced
to be an effort to array the wage work
er against the farmer. The senator de
clared that not only would the fanners'
product bo Increased In value, but that
the wul'o earner would receive double
his present pay. Tiiis, he asserted,
would be a sure result of free coinage.
He was very emphatic that sectional
ism did not enter into the money ques
tion. "Tiiis is a common country," he
said. "'We, in the south, tried to go orf
once. I think it was more a desiie
to maintain the union than It was to
free the slaves that whipped us. I am
satisfied It was 1 know it was, hut slav
ery went down in the struggle, and I
thank Cod for it." This statement wus
applauded.
"Will you submit to Knglisli domina
tion? We whipped KnglnndTn 177G, we
whipped her in It 12 and we can whip
her today with one hand tied. Think
whether you will again have Piernont
Morgan and his gang of ghouls In Wall
street to govern and have dominion over
our president ami congress, or whether
you will free us and restore our ma
jesty as American freemen. Tell your
party to go to the devil, unless it Is
going to do what Is right."
With this blunt ending the senator
concluded his speech nnd sat down. Im
mediately a man rose in the audience
nnd proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.
Tillman, bijt there were a score of
shouts of "no," The senntor sat en
tirely unmindful of the turmoil that was
created fur the instant, until the chair
man could call the meeting to order and
introduce ox-Congressman C. H. Turn

RUMORS OF A COMBINE.
It Is Alleged That the Western I'tiioii
Controls Telephone Companies.
P.ostnn, Aug. 21. The Huston Com
mercial Bulletin will say tomorrow re
garding Western Union and Mull Tele
phone: "We understand upon the best au
thority, that the Western Union Tele
graph company controls at the pres
ent moment the American Hell Tele
phone company. The importance of
such control will at once appear to
every one, who appreciates how the two
have come In competition during recent
years. The Western Union dividends
had become threatened through the
conipctillun of the Hell company, and
of the Postal Telegraph company, but
It has lonR been a fully arranged plan
for the Western Union to secure coa
trol of the Telephone company. The
two together can probably mane it very
warm for the Postal Telegraph com
pany or the final outcome may be a
combination of all three.
Mr. J. Flerpont Morgan has been the
largest purchaser of Hell Telephone
stock at auction here, but the manner
of purchase has been Very cleverly con
cealed. Western Union stock has ruled
weak on the New York exchange during
the past few days, but this weakness
Is thought to be part of tue programme
of those conducting this gigantic ileal.
The combination of these two concerns
will moan an almost Impregnable mon
opoly or both the telegraph and tele
phone business In the same hands. '

STEEL RAILS FOR JAPAN.
A Large Sale Made This Week Demand
for Cotton Goods The Slate of
Trade in Other Lines.
New York, Aug. 21. Ii. d. Hun &
Co. will say tomurrow In their weekly
review of trade:
Failures for the week have been 20
In the United States against 222 last
year and 27 in Canada against 4:! last
year.
Political events of the week had no
definite influence upon business pros
pects, for the phenomenal variations In
Sterling exchange and the beginning of
Imports of gold, although following the
great meeting In Madison Square i Jar-
den on Tuesday, may be fairly attribut
ed to the accumulating excess of mer
chandise exports over Imports, to which
attention has been rept atedly calltd ex
ports from New York for the past two
weeks having been 20 per cent, larger,
and Imports here 21 per cent, smaller
than last year. The rapid movement
of grain, and the unusually early mar
keting of cotton, tend strongly to aid
the banking syndicate which has un
dertaken to regulate foreign exchanges.
Withdrawals of money to the interior
are rather largo, and commercial loans
are hard to place, and this difficulty
checks many new enterprises and busi
ness In muny departments. Hank clear
ings lire small, for the 'week, 15 per cent,
less than last year, liailroad earnings
are not as good as might be exoeoted
for the first half of August, exceeding
those of lust year by only J.4 per cent.
Speculation has advanced wheat over
1 per com. miring the week, corn a
small fraction, and cotton live-eights,
the principal motive power being re
ports of injury to growing crops.
The Iron and steel market has only
continued depression to report. There
Is rapid j'liiiailinenl of production, but
in spite of this the supply of finished
products appears to greatly exoeod the
demand for them. The one bright spot
is a sale of !i.oo tons steel rails to Japan,
for repairing railways in that country,
which makes nn aggregate of 4'i.0!X tons
exported during the year. Nothing en
couraging can yet be suld regarding the
woolen manufacture, and the demand
for goods, oven at recent reduction in
prices Is still disappointingly small. A
heavy auction sale of cotton goods
brought prices, which were considered
quite encouraging, and the current de
mand is fairly maintained, although the
mills are not Inclined to make large
contracts for the future In view of the
rise in the raw material. In general the
working force In the textile branches
does not appear to have Increased.

Indianapolis, Intl., Au. 2t. Much sat
isfaction was expressed tit the national
Democratic party headquarters toilay
over the fact that the Cleveland cab
inet will be represented at the Indian
apolls convention. Comptroller Eckels
has secured quarters at the 1 lutes, it
Is thought that Secretary of Agricul
ture Morton will attend the convention.
He Is the only member of the cabinet
who is expected. A letter from Secre
tary of the Navy Herbert plulnly in
dicates that he is with the sound money
movement, but that he will not be able
to attend the convention owing to his
absence In F.urope.
There Is no longer any doubt that
Postmaster General Wilson ia also in
favor of the movement. The position
which ids son has taken Is said to bo
a sure sign of the father's Inclination.
The son Is out and out for a third ticket.
"The coming of Mr. F.okcls ami Secre
tary Morton is thought to be a pro
pitious sign that the president Is allied
silently with the national Democracy.
The same word comes from the state
conventions throughout the country as
came from Kentucky yesterday that
the conventions are well iittenoed ami
enthusiastic to a degree. It Is but four
weeks since the first movement toward
the formation of the national Demo
cratic party organization was started
from this city, ami yet It Is claimed at
hoadquurters that there Is a f:'ir organi
zation in tile thirty-nine states, and
that nil the states considered pivotal
In the campaign ure fully organized.
Uefore leaving for Peoria today Mr.
P.ynuin reiterated bis statement that
the convention would unquestionably
nominate a ticket and would not tllrt
Willi any of the old party organiza
tion. TIIK CANDIDATES.
There Is not likely to be much of a
contest over nominations. Inasmuch
as the eastern states are expected to
go for sound money and silver Is very
strong in the extreme western states,
the candidates will probably be select
ed from the states of the middle west
and south. The men most talked of
for the head of the ticket are General
Drags;, W. D. Uynum end Senator Pal
mer, of Illinois. At the time of the
national convention meeting Senator
Palmer dot Piled absolutely that he
could not accept the nomination, but he
Is said to have modllied Ids position to
some extent.
For vice president there Is practically
but one man talked of, that of General
Simon H. P.uckncr, of Kentucky.
Hutkner is the Idol of the Kentucky
Democrats and is an ideal Ketituckian.
It Is believed Hint his name on the
ticket would carry the state for the
national Democratic ticket and would
exert a powerful lnlluence in other
southern states. The louder of the
national Democratic movement now
before the Indianapolis ticket will have
more lnlluence in the south than in any
other section of the country.
