V AND THE
Maitet
That Natlonnl politics Interfere
with trade is known to every
American, and at no time In the
nation's history has this fact been
so apparent as now. Banks refuse
' the ordinary courtesies and accom
modations to their best customers,
gilt-edge securities go begging for
loans, and commercial papers,
which under ordinary conditions
would be as good as gold, is worth
less for Immediate use, and the
money question is the cause of It
all. Under these conditions, when
manufacturers or Jobbers are
pinched, there Is but one help for
them, and that Is to realize for spot
cash In their stocks so that they
may tide over the present awful
stringency.

SOME REMARKS BY

Ex.President Harrison Begins His Tours
ol tbe Slate of Indiana.
IS RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM
Immense Crowd Greet the Spea'.er
EverywhereTbe Fallacies of the
Cheap Dollar Crnze Are Pointed
Out in Plain Language and Id.
diana Farmers Are Advised Not to
Yield to Fake Notions Kegarding
Inflation.
Spencer, Ind., Oct. 20. Oenerul Ben
jamin Harrison this morning began the
tirst of the tours he will make over In
diana soil during this campaign and
was, favored- with beautiful weather.
His train consisted of two private cars,
loaned by It. IS. F. Pierce, of the Clover
Leaf road, and with the ex-president
were a number of prominent Indianap
olis citizens and personal friends. The
train wus cheered as it left the station
at Indianapolis at 9 o'clock and the
day's work, began before the party had
gotten fairly out of town.
At the lielt crossing, west of this city,
several hundred people had gathered
and the train was stopped for them.
Mr. Harrison was lustily cheered as he
appeared at the rear platform. Among
other things he said: ,
"You will not expect me to speak per
haps further than to say to you that
this Is another campaign in which very
singular notions are being promulgated.
1 sp-ak here to men who have gathered
from these industrial establishments
about the suburbs of Indianapolis. The
effort this year Is to persuade them that
the dollar they get every week Is too
good and that they ought to have one
not quite so good. I ask you If that is not
the sura of the whole argument. It is
very plain, it seems thnt the silver doU
lur, if the relative value of gold and
silver remains what it is. and silver is
coined freely, will not buy as much us
a gold dollar. How much less nobody
can tell that Is guess work.
"It will be fluctuating like the mer
cury In the thermometer. I have lifted
my voice for thirty years In Indiana to
the laboring man and the farmer and
t have had Just this message, in green
back and flat money times, and now,
that of all the people In the world who
will be injured by a cheap and fluctuat
ing money the workingman is the one
who will be worst hurt.
AN OVATION AT IOORKSVILLE.
The next stop was at Mooresville,
where a crowd of about 800 people had
gathered and the station was gay with
Hags and bunting. General Harrison
appeared and was given an ovation.
He plunged at once into his subject.
He reviewed the fight the Democratic
party had been making for some years
for cheapness while the Republicans
have been contending that fair prices
were more conducive to prosperity and
happiness and called attention to the
entire change of front made by the
Democrats in this campaign. They had
abandoned (he fight for cheapness and
were now declaring that the people
want higher priced things. They had
succeeded in their campaign in 18!)2,
had elected a president and congress
of their own way of thinking, and had
brought in an era of cheap things. The
farmer had gotten the cheapest coats
he hud ever bought, and purchased
them with the cheapest wheat he had
ever sold. He declared that Mr. Bryan
had been one of the most ultra of the
free traders, who had brought about
this condition of things and that if
elected president, would still advocate
the same principles. He appealed to
the farmers of Indiana, not to be tempt
ed by the "fake" notion that they
could make themselves rich by declar
ing a half dollar a dollar.
THE CROWDS AT MARTINSVILLE.
At Martinsville a crowd of about 5,
000 people was gathered to greet Gen
eral Harrison and a gayly decorated
stand had been erected near the sta
tion. To this General Harrison was
led amid loud cheering. In his speech
General Harrison paid his respects to
that plank of the Democratic platform
denouncing the interference of federal
troops in state affairs and recalled the
Chicago riots that had brought forth
this plank. He called attention to Mr.
Bryan's defense of this plank, and de
clared that great evils were likely to
come from the election of a man who
entertained such Ideas of the preserva
tion of public order. At the Hamlet
of Paragon, several hundred people
stopped the train and General Harrison
came out long enough to greet them
with a word. He noticed many women
in the crowd and admonished them to
see that their husbands did their duty.
At Spencer he was greeted by about
6.000 people, and made an address of
about fifteen minutes, devoted entirely
to the slrvr question. At Worthlng
ton a crowd of equal proportions had
gathered and the enthusiasm ran high.
BIG DAY FOR WORTHINQTON.
Evansville, Ind., Oct. 20. It was a
big day for Worthlngton, It being es
timated that 20,000 people were in town.
In his address here General Harrison
referred to Bryan's remarks about the
Jekylls and Hydes. He said that he
had no disposition to retaliate In the
use of opprobrius epithets. This re
mark of Mr. Bryan showed that he had
possibly lost his temper and was very
sure that in making it he had lost his
sense of the proprieties of the great
position to which he aspired.
After the Worthlngton stop, lunch
was served on the train, but it was not
finished, for a crowd of about 1,500
coal miners had gathered at Bushrod,
and General Harrison appealed to them
as wage earners and explained that In
a time of fluctuation of values of cur
rency the man who works for wages
Is always the one to suffer first and suf
fers most.
Brief stops were made at Sanborn
and at Edivurdsoort, where over u
thousand people were addressed for a
few minutes.
At Vincennes a tremendous crowd
was encountered. A stand had been
erected in an open field near the sta
tion and the crowd of 8,000 people
surged over the top of three acres of
ground in their efforts to get near
enough to see and hear General Har
rison spoke for thirty minutes, In the
course of which he argued the silver
question as thoroughly as the limited
time would permit.
At Princeton, a couple of thousand
people met the train at the station
and followed General Harrison's car
riage to the fair grounds, where from
20,000 to 25,000 people had been waiting
several hours. General Harrison's
speech at this point was about forty
minutes In length, and more elaborate
than any he had made during the day.
He reviewed not only the silver ques
tion, but the other issues brought up
by the Chicago platform, and pointed
nut the dangers to public peace and
rt-'ier thnt miirht arise from its aim.
-v at the polls. He declared that Mr.
Hi mi was the kind of man who would
make good his word to carry out every
plank of this dangerous platform it
he should be elected. The train ar
rived at Evansville shortly after 6
o'clock and was met by a great crush
of people at the station. General Har
rison remained in his car and had
supper. Later a big street demonstra
tion was given with 5,000 men in line.
General Hurrisnn spoke In Evans'
hall, the largest auditorium In the city,
which was utterly inadequate. He
was received with wild demonstrations
of delight, when he appeared and was
introduced by C. A. Debruler. In this
the principal speech of the day, General
Harrison addressed himself chiefly to
an argument asalnst cheap money in
the effort to convince the people that
values cannot be created by legislation.
After the address, the party returned
to the train and were carried to New
Albany, where the return Journey to
Indianapolis will be begun tomorrow.
M'KINLEY'S QUIET DAY.

PROSPERITY OR PANIC.
Andrew Carnegie's Opinion on the
Kesults of Prcmidentinl Election.
Pittsburg. Oct. 20. Andrew Carnegie
leaves for New York tomorrow morning
after spending several days In Pitts
burg attending to business matters.
Before leaving Mr. Carnegie complied
with the requests of the newspapers for
an interview upon political and busi
ness mutters. When asked for his opin
ion whether McKlnley would be elected,
he said: "Yes, 1 am quite sure of it,
the only question is one of majority."
"What do you think of the outlook
for business."
"That depends upon the election of
the candidate who represents honest
money, law and order. If a man like
Mr. Bryan and such men as would com
pose bis cabinet, if elected, were pluced
In charge of the nation by the Ameri
can people, there would be paralysis
of business; but If McKlnley is elected,
I believe the country is going to have
a period of prosperity that will rank
with any In its history. The country
has been depressed for some years,
prices for all commodities are low,
stocks are light, wheat, cotton and pro
visions are in demand: the country will
gain nearly two hundred and fifty mil
lions if dollars over last year in its
trade balances with other nations; the
money of the world is lying idle anx
ious to Invest in the United States,
and It will be largely invested when
ever it is satisfied that American peo
ple have resolved to pay the same
money as they have received, namely,
gold."
Mr. Carnegie said: "It Is of no ad
vantage to an employer to be able to
pay his workmen with silver dolbrs.
If every employer is able to do so, then
all are relatively In the same position
as before. The change from gold to
silver would precipitate such a panic
as would cause employers to lose hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, and it
would cause large concerns to lose mil
lions. INDIANA IS ALL RIGHT.
Poll of the Slate Shows a Clear
Lead for McKlnley of Nearly
Thirty Thousand Votes.
Chicago, Oct. 20. As a result of Na
tional Chairman Hanna's call for a re
port of the exact condition of affairs
in the dillerent states and a consulta
tion of the several state chairmen, a
statement has been received from In
diana. It shows a surprising gain for
the Republican ticket, and predicts a
plurality of at least 29,000 for McKln
ley In that state.
The poll for fifty-four counties shows
a net guin for the Republican ticket of
21,000, while the estimated gains from
the remaining thirty-eight (there be
ing ninety-two in the state) show a
net gain of 15.00V. making a total of
3(i.000 Republican gain in the state. In
1X92 the Democratic plurality was 7,
000, which, deducted from the net galu,
loaves a plurality for McKlnley .of 29,
(M lii round numbers.
It is to be remembered that ex-Presl-dent
Harrison is to make 32 speeches
in Indiana during the last week of the
campaign.
WILL FOLLOW BRYAN.
Ex'Congressman Marion Will En

Chicago, Oct. 20. The Illinois com
mittee of the Republican party decided
today to send ex-Congressman William
E. Marion, of this city. In a special
train after Candidnte Bryan In his final
tour of Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska,

the places Mr. Bryan stops, and If pos
sible speak to the crowds which Will

CLUMSY PIECE OF
CAMPAIGN FORGERY
A Bogus McKlnley Letter Ridiculous in
Construction.
SENT TO THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Documents Said to be in the Poises
sion of Colonel William M. Sillo.
way Important Communication
from an Unknown Type-setter.
New York, Oct. 20. The following
statement was given out this afternoon
from Republican national headquar
ters: "In these last days of the campaign
we may expect almost any kind of a
story published regarding the past and
future lives of the Republican candi
dates for the presidency and vice
presidency. The most clumsy, base and
contemptible forgery is the following
which purports to be a letter written
by Governor McKlnley. This was sent
to the national committeee:
Washington, April, 1890.
Hear General Wells:
Your letter of Importance begging me to
u?e my Influence to secure a pension for
t-lKOUrney, Colonel Sillowny, who was u
bravo officer, as you well say; and for
Mrs. JIann, 1 can only say that I decline
to do so, and If bills are Introduced 1
shall do ull I can to defeat them. I do not
believe ill granting pensions to British unci
Irish hirelings who came here, enlisted
and received lame bounties and good pay.
In the case of Hillowuy, though, you suv
he suved President Lincoln from being
raptured, lie received his reward by pro
motion, and he in well able to earn a liv
ing for many years to come. Hoping you
ait, wall, I remain,
i'ours fraternally,
William -McKlnley.
"It was pinned to a sheet of paper
with the following letter, unsigned:
Sir: The above letter Is one of the many
that are in the possession of Colonel Will
iam M. Sllloway, of the New York Bulle
tin, Third avenue, that I set up In a down
town olllce to be sent out next week in
all Democratic papers of the stnte und
through other states in fac simile litho
graph. I send it to you so you can .'tut
accordingly. The old man gets $1,000 for
It, ami the letters In his possession are
such us will turn New York state to Bry
an as well as oilier states. You can, no
doubt. If In time get Sllloway to stop
their publication. You see it in cold type
and can act as you please.
"The committee have declined to pur
chase it and take the liberty to publish
It themselves. Any one who ever knew
Governor McKlnley knows that the let
ter is stamped from its first sentence to
its last with falsehood, and up to Janu
ary. 1S94, always signed his name Wil
liam McKlnley, Jr., and when his father
died in that month, he dropped the Ju
nior from his name. The governor's
record as a brave soldier and his record
of standing in season and out ot season
upon all occasions by these brave men
who gave their services and their lives
to their country has never been ques
tioned or doubted. It Is too late to
start any stories now."

BUTLER EXPLAINS.
His Head is as Clear as an Icicle on
the Rise in Wheat Has Not
Heard from Tom Watson.
Washington, Oct. 20. Senator Marion
Butler, of North Carolina, chairman of
the Populist committee, this morning,
still Insisted that he knew nothing
whatever about the letter of accept
ance of Thomas E. Watson, candidate
for vice president on the Populist ticket,
but he gave out for publication the
following as to the cause of the rise
in the price of wheat:
"The Jump In wheat is simply another
evidence of what the American public
has known for years, that is that the
market to a certain extent is controlled
by speculation, and that the price of
any product thus controlled can be
temporarily lowered or raised at will
by those who hold the calls for future
delivery. 'It is well known that the
purpose of the proposed anti-option law
was to prevent speculation from thus
"bulling and bearing1' the market price
of American stuple products. This law
was fought by those who have made
immense fortunes In speculation upon
the products produced by American
labor. If a proper ana'just anti-option
bill had been passed, and we had an
honest financial systen, and equitable
transportation rates, this present false
and delusive spurt in wheat, for cam
paign purposes, would not have oc
curred. "While this anti-option law was be
fore congress more than one grain spec
ulator on Wall street was forced to
admit before congressional Investigat
ing committees thatTTie combined spec
ulators known as bulls and bears, had
It in their power to reverse the natural
law of supply and demand, regulating
prices, and to even force up prices in
the face of an increased crop, or to de
crease prices in the face of a short
crop whenever it was to their pecuniary
interest to do so.
"No one denies today that a few men
control the money market and some of
these men have boasted that they could
produce a panic at pleasure, and we
have had sad experience to prove that
they could make good their boast. The
same kind of combinations today, to a
certain extent, contnws the prices of
farm products. When a money panic
occurs it is simply proof of the power of
the manipulators in money so when a
spurt on products occurs it Is simply a
proof of the power of the speculators
who never produce a bushel of wheat or
corn or oats, or a pound of cotton, to
control prices of farm products, pro
duced by farm labor.
"The effect of the rise In wheat will
have upon votes, in my opinion, will
only be to increase Bryan's vote. The
farmers understood the evil effects of
speculation controlling the price of
their products when they petitioned
congress for the anti-option law; and
they also thoroughly understand who
prevented them from getting It. They
understand the evil effects of a corner
in money when they are now joining In
fighting McKlnley and the gold stand
ard and supporting Bryan. A panic in
the money market and the sale of more
United States bonds would today clear
ly be in Bryan's favor as this unparall
eled speculation In wheat will be in his
favor. In short, our reports for the
last two weeks have been showing an
unusual rise in Bryan stock, especially
the grain producing states of the cen
tral west, and this object lesson of Wall
street speculation In their products will
cause Bryan stock to keep pace with
the rise of wheat.''

WHEAT'S HIGHEST POINT.
The Record of the Present Year Broken.
Excitement of tbe Recent
Bulge is Repeated.
Chicago, Oct. 20. Wheat closed today
at the highest point thus far for the
year. , The trend of the market was
downward until within half an hour of
the close when prices steadied and then
strengthened. The excitement of the
recent bulge was repeated. The price
of December rose from 75ft to 78. Trad
ers had been looking for Bradstreet's
report to add Impetus to the earlier de
clining movements by showing a heavy
increase In stocks, but it was announc
ed toward noon that the report would
not be Issued today, upon learning
which, those who had possessed of un
usual temerity and had ventured to sell
short, quickly changed front and In
frantically endeavoring to cover, put
prices to where they were around the
opening.
Reported sales of 300,000 bushels at
New Tork for export to Lisbon and the
Importation of $5,000,000 In gold, hasten
ed the action of buyers and added to the
bull sentiment. Within a few minutes
of the termination of the session, an
other bulge placing prices a full cent
over the opening quotations took place.
It was a wild scramble, every broker
wanting to buy and none to sell. A
slight reaction took place subsequently,
but the close found the bull fever fully
rehabilitated. The range on December
was and the close within c. of the
outside at 78, one cent higher than
yesterday.
