John Eberhait, president of the club and form er president of the glassworkers' union of Knowxville, acted as spokesman, and did well; and McKinley answered as fol lows: "Mr. Eberhart and my fellow-citizens —I am glad indeed to meet and greet the Knoxville McKinley and Hobart Repub lican club in this city and at my home, and I thank you most cordially for trav eling no long a distance to express your personal good will to me and your devo tion to the great principles of the Repub lican party. "You are right, Mr, Spokesman, in saying that the Republican party stands now, and it has always stood, for a sound and stable currency and for the maintenance of all its money of every kind at parity and always equal to the best money of the most civilized nations of the earth. [Applause.] A depreciat ed currency, as you have so well said, would work disaster to the interests of the people, and to none more than those of the workingmen and producers. Long years ago Daniel Webster said that they were tte first to feel it and the last to re cover from it. 'A disordered currency,' said he, 'is fatal to industry, frugality and economy. It fosters the spirit of •peculation and extravagance. It is the most effectual of inventions to fertilize the rich man's field with the sweat of the poor man's brow.' "That which we call money, ray fel low citizens, and with which values are measured and settlements marie, must t* as true as the bushel which measures the grain of the farmer, and as honest as the hours of labor which the man who toils is required to give." [Loud applauie.]" "One must be as full and complete and as honest as the other. [Applause.] our currency to-day is good—all of it as good as gold—and it is the unfaltering de termination of the Republican party to so keep and maintain it forever. [Cheers.] It is the duty of the people of this country to stand united against every effort to degrade our currency or debase our credit. [Cries of 'They will.'] They must unite now, as they have united in the past in every great crisis of our country's history. When the country seemed wildly bent on in flation preceding the resumption of specie payments, the sober sense of the Ameri can people without regard to party unit ed and stemmed that threatened tide of irredeemable paper money and repudia tion and placed and kept the nation on the rock of public honor, sound finance and honest currency. "You have rightly stated, sir, that the Republican party not only tielieves in sound money and the highest public faith and honor on the part of the gov ernment of the United States to all its creditors, but also that it believes in a tariff which while raising enough money to conduct the government economically administered, will »«*rve the highest and best interests of American labor, Ameri can agriculture, American commerce anil American citizenship. [Cheering.] Some of our political opponents arc given to Mying that the tariff question is settled. If we arc not wrong in interpreting their meaning, we think they are right flaugh ter). aud thank them for the confession. [Applause J. "We believe that the tariff question is settled—settled in the minds and hearts of the American people, and settled on the side of protection. [Tremendous cheering.] But however firmly it may be settled in the public mind, it is not yet settled in public law. What is in the hearts and consciences of the people touching any public question is not ef fective until it is written in public stat ute, and this can only lie done through the exercise of the elective franchise m the choice of a Congress of the United States which makes our public laws. No one, 1 take it, will regard the present tariff law as a last and final settlement 'if the question. Whatever may be our differences about the economic principle upon which tariff legislation should lie made, all agree that the present tariff law is a failure even as a revenue meas ure. "So, without discussing the principle of free trade or protection, everybody must appreciate that no law is a settle ment which creates very month a de ficiency in the public treasury. [ Loud applause and cheering.] The people of this country are not satisfied with such an enactment and will not lie satisfied until a public Uw shall express the pub lic will in a statute which will provide adequate revenues for the needs of the government, full security for its credit and ample protection to the labor, capi tal and energy of the American people. [Applause.] I thank you, my fellow citizens, for this friendly call, and I as sure you that it will give me pleasure to meet each and every one of you person ally." [Tremendous applause and cheer »lK]. After the speeches there was singing by a glee club and music by the band, PKOPI.K love to be swindled, at least some of tlieni do. Have you ever ob served how a stranger with a glib tongue will sell articles on the street in large quar.ities that you could buy cheaper from your home merchants? And the vender of patent medicines who does not understand the first rudiments of medical science, because he has learned to speak a nice little piece describing the symp toms of a few diseases, is put down as xnowing a great deal Zivnt than your home physicians who have spent much time and money acquiring a medical education. Aud it is the same in politics. The man of education ami sound knowl edge, who has made a study of the sci ence of government, and tells you the plain honest truth atxiut things with conscientious sincerity, is not heeded. While the political quack who panders to your prejudices, arouses your animosi ties against certain of your fellowmen by slandering tlieui and deceives you with living sophistry, is the man you are likely to follow.—Fx. How Would Free Coinage Affeet Me? From the New York Herald. This is the question that millions of voters are asking to-day, and if it is ans wered intelligently Mr. Bryan will be swept out of tight in November. If vou are working for wages or salary, or if "you are in receipt of a fixed sum I from "investments or from a pension. then free coinage would virtually reduce your income nearly one-half and compel you | to live on a much poorer scale. You would receive just the same num ber of dollars as at mesent. but it would take near'y two dollars to buy as much clothing or food as you now get for one; your rent would be nearly doubled, every item in the cost of living would be advanced in the same proportion. Do you doubt this? Reflect a moment. The leaders in the free silver movement have avowed that their purpose is to ad vance prices. They tell the farmer that with free silver he will get twice as muc.i for his wreat and corn as he now receives. The intrinsic value of products would not be changed by any trick we might play with our coins. The prices of products in the great markets of the world would not be advanced, and right here they would not exchange for any more gold than before, but they would exchange for more of the silver dollar! which with free coinage, and we will presently show, would be worth about fifty three cents But they would by law be full legal tender dollars. You salary or pension or wages would be paid with these dollars. They are the dollars in which you would receive your income from investments unless you have specially contracted for gold. If any man owes you one hundred dollars he could pay you with one hun dred of these coins, which would buy no more in the markets than vou can get with fifty three dollars today. If your lif»- is insured for ten thousand dollars, and you should die, your family would rfCtiye ten thousand of the depreciated dollars, which would only ouy as many of the necessaries and comforts of life as five thousand three hundred of the pre sent honest dollars. If you have some thing in a savings bank or in a building association or loaned on bond and mort gage it would come back to you in the same way in fifty three cent dollars. If a Tnan has ten dollars in his pocket and chooses to declare that fifty three cents is a dollar he may fool himself into the belief that he has nineteen dollars in stead of ten, but if he goes shopping and tenders fifty three cents for a dollar the merchants will very quickly adjust their prices to his depreciated standard. \V hen he selects an article marked ten dollars they will say: "Oh, yes, that is the price in the old fashioned dollars, but we must charge you eighteen dollars and eight cents." Now, the government can't create wmething out of nothing. It can call fifty three cents worth of silver a dol lar, and make it legal tender for a dollar, and so compel present creditors to accept it as payment for a dollar, but it is impo tent as any individual to give it the pur chasing pewer ot an honest dollar, be cause every merchant at once raises the price of his goods to offset the deprecia tion in the measure of value. The question is asked Why should not a silver dollar under free coinage Iroy as much as it does now? Because there is only a limited number of the silver dollars now in existence and the govern ment is able to keep them equivalent to gold dollars. But if all the world were permitted to bring silver to the mints and get a silver dollar for every 37»X grains of it the government could not keep this unlimited number of dollars at a parity, and, like those of Mexico, they would have to circulate at the value of the bullion they contain, and this at the present price of silver is about 53 cents. He May Run Who Readeth. In Broadway, at the corner ot Leonard street, New York, they are digging for foundation* for the big uew building of the New York Life Insurance Company. A high board fence is built along the raised walk to keep people Irons looking down or falling into the hole. Two big campaign signs are painted on this fence. They are the biggest things of the kind in the city. The nri>t read* WHEN ! • ! Six inches make one foot, Eiqht ounce* make one pound, AND Sixteen quarts trill make one bushel, THEN!!! I'ijty cents will make one dollar, AND Populists it>ll overrule the United .Slates. COTE POK BOUND MONEY.

There are two questions which fjrator Bryan wishes to have answered. He as serts that— "They are questions that will be asked over and over again in this campaign. They are questions we will be asked with ever increasing emphasis. These two questions are these: If the gold standard is 11 good thine why should we try to get rid of ft, and if the gold standard is a bad thing why should we wait until some other nations arc willing to help us let go?" It is a matter of indifference how often those questions arc asked. They will l>e answered so quickly and fully that liryan will get sick of asking them. There are questions to be put to him, however, which he will not answer. They will tie pressed home during the campaign, but ne wit) dodge them till the election is over. The answers to Bryan's questions are as follows: The United States has the gold standard uow. It never lis*d any other except in greenback times. All the money the country has besides goid has been held at parity with gold for eigh teen years. That means the gold stand ard. No honest money man believes that standard is a bad thing, nor is he trying to get rid of it. The proj»osition to act in conjunction with other nations in au effort to elevate depreciated silver, and hold it at the purchasing power of gold, is not a proposition to abandon the gold standard. It contemplates the continued maintenance of that standard. What ratio a congress of nations may «r* and d btori live in all the states.

Newman of the M. E. Church, delivered the address on the oc casion of the national service in the Auditorium at Ocean Grove, lately, and took for his subject "Our Country's Mis sion." In the course of liis address the Bishop said: "Never before since the war of the re bellion has there been a greater necessity for an American citizen to understand his obligations to the government and appre ciate the perilous times which confront us, than there is at the present day. Never Ijefore, since the days of Lincoln and Grant, have we needed God-chose 11 leaders more than we do now. There comes a time in the history of the world when men shall forget their church, and there also comes a time when patriotic men shall forget party and stand by the country, and if a man can't stand by his country when his country is in jx-ril, then he should get out of the country, for he is net worthy of his country. Our land, the land of tbe free, under certain conditions, is the wealthiest nation on the face of the earth, and our jn-r capita wealth is larger than that of England, and cny man who attempts to interrupt the prosperity of America should be in terrupted himself. The founders of America commenced where other great nations left off and gave us a form of government that has challenged the admiration of the world. Of the 59 giants who prepared our Con stitution 2<) of them were university men; so it is no wonder that they did their work well, a«d we have maintained this high standard of intellect in our rulers, except in one or two instances, where by accident, others have succeeded in oc cupying the chair once graced by Wash ington. To maintaiii tins standard of intelligence among our rulers is the duty of all good citizens, but the standard mnst be maintained by men of mature yearH, men who can be trusted to take proper care of our finances. The revolutionary war exhausted the, right of revolution, ami there should never have b;en another war in this coun try. Kvery war since that time has l«ren a crime against society and a crime against God. But the Americans believe in the law of self-defense, and there may be, before long, a justifiable war to pro tect the Constitution of the United States aud the rights of our citizens. America requires no standing army to defend her citizen:,, for every citizen is a soldier in disguise, and his right to de fend himself is as justifiable as a saint's prayer. The time has come to awaken the lawyers, the editors, the merchants, the bankers, aud have them understand that America was not l>orn to die. The cross of Jesus Christ was designed to be the syml>ol for the atonement, awl was never intended to be the emblem of a political party, to l>e used to teach an archistic doctrines. The crown of thorns was for tbe Savior's brow, and not for those men who would overthrow the lect his country and its financial credit with sister nations will betray his country for thirty pieces of silver. In closing the bishop intimated that the Populists were anarchistic 111 their demands, aud a man in the audience ex citedly shouted: "William J. Bryan is a Populist, and a good American citizen." Confusion followed for a moment, when the bishop closed by saying: "1 am a Republican, but, above all, I am au American citizen." Hundreds rushed to the platform and shook bauds with the bishop, and con gratulated him for his patriotic utter ances. 1 IA Friendly Diapute. (Quiet Observer in Com. Ga/.) I "We have just dropped in to have you ! I settle a friendly dispute," said one of ! two reallv fine-looking ladies. "Yes," said the other, "I suggested you as umpire, because you are supposed to know everything; l>esides the Com i mercial Gazette has been our family i paper for over 40 years—my father be- j gan taking it long before I was born." The latter clause of that sentence was ; what saved her from being suspected of using vouth renewers. "Well, we have taken this paper as long a? I can remember, but I'll not venture to say just how long ago that mav be," observed the other. "But to the question," she continued. "She says that 16 to 1 means 16 ailver dollars for one gold dollar.'' "Sow, it does, don't it?" broke in the other after the manner of a baseball plaver demanding judgement. "No, it does not," rejoined the other. "Of course it does—what else can it mean?"retorted the other. "Why, didn't I tell you it means that 16 parts of silver to 1 part of gold is a standard dollar?'" "You said that, but yon couldn't find a standard dollar." "Nor you couldn't find anybody who would give 16 silver dollais for one of gold." "But you can find them when Bryan's elected, can't yc.u?" "When Bryan's elected you will be li able to get anything whatsoever," ob served the umpire. "There, didn't I tell you?" and the 16 to 1 lady clapped her hands in glee. "But he means that the moon will turn to green chese when Bryan's elected," said the other. • How absurd! Such a thing never has happened and never will." "Of course not, and that's just what he meant, and you couldn't see it." "Well, I guess I am not any dumber than some other people I know," retort ed Mrs. 16 to 1. "Nobody said you were." "Then what did you mean?" "I meant that he said the moon would turn to green cheese as soon as Bryan is elected." "That's worse and more of it. You didn't say that at all, did you?" appeal ingly to the umpire. "Of course you did, but didn't mean that such a thing could happen, did you? "Such a thing as what.'" demanded Mrs. 16 to 1. "As Bryan being elected." •'Who aid he would be elected?" "You did." "I never. Did I?" "Why, Mrs. ." "How ridiculous!" ">'ow, don't be absurd." "The i-dee-a!" "Well then, what did you say?" "I merely said the moon had never turned to green cheese, and it never will," replied Mrs. 16 to r, and empha sized her reply by jabbing a pair of scis sors into the desk and bending the {joints so badly they will have to be sent to the blacksniithshop for repair before they can be used. "There now, you've spoiled the mall's shears and he won.t be aide to get the paper out." "O! I'tn awfully sorry; but you don't get the paper out with the shears, do you?" and Mrs. 16 to 1 smiled so sweet ly, ami looked so innocent that the um pire declared he was glad she had ruined the scisrors and that he never used them except for trimming his finger nails and spr-aring cock-roaches. ' Roaches! Mercy me," exclaimed Mrs. 16 to 1, hastily, rising and shaking her skirts. "Well, I guess we've bothered ypu long enough." observed the other, rising and casting searching glances over a pile of suspicious-looking rubbish that had accumulated on one end of the desk. "Yes, indeed, I know you must be nearly Vxjred to death with people com ing in to get your opinion on all sorts of questions," said Mrs. 16 to 1, quite meekly. It was plainly noticable that the color was leaving her face, but whether this was due to the subsiding of her agitation over the 16 to 1 problem, or to her fear of nasty roaches, may never be known. "Well, we are ever so much obliged to you for your kindness, and will read your f rticles with ever so much more in terest, now that we know you to be so kind and amiable." "Yes, indeed; but we will have to hustle if we catch O-oh! merciful heavens!" and Mrs. 16 to x sprang to wards the door. "It was a fly," said the other, in tender, assuring tones. "I thought it was a " "We are ever so much obliged," inter rupted the other. Then they went away, and there was silence in the offiee for several miuutes. Free Coinage. [Extract from Tom Reed's speech at Altrid, Maine, last week,] "Their remedy is the coinage of silver, if, to 1. What does that mean? "Heretofore whenever gold and silver have stood together it has been at the market value. When we tried to make gold and silver circulate together we have always married them according to their market value. Today we find them, not 16 to 1, but 31 to 1, and they are going, they say, to lift silver to twice its value, not by the universal sense of mankind, which alone makes values, but by the statue of the United States, single hand ed against the civilized world. Why should the United States try to do this alone? 1 won't discuss the ques tion whet her the free coinage of silver will raise it to par or not. Very few peo ple claim that it will, anil if they did I could not believe them. I was told in IS9O by two of the most sincere as well as the ablest silver men that the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces a month would raise silver to par, and when we did buy it, silver went down like lead. Silver men have not been gcjod prophets in the past. What we want is not more money, but more capital money always comes with capital. We have money now, more than we can use, lying idle. We have just exported a lot of it. Money is the transferer of capital, as a hay rack and horses is a transferer of hay. More hayracks will never make more hay. but more hay will require more hayracks. Our capital is great, l*tt the United States is very much greater. There are millions of vjuare miles anil 75,000,01*1 of people and undeveloped riches without stint. But there is not capital enough to ke.-p 75,000,000 of people at work. When are we the most prosperous? it is when the 75,000,000 are all at work, and when that ha)>pens we borrow of the rest of the world thousands of millions of dollars. Now just as soon as this election is over and the future position 'if the United States is assured, both as to money and to the employment of our people, capital is ready to come to us from abroad and from our own people, and we shall again l»e prosperous.

I Political Notes. The Democrats carried Alabama, Taes- | ; day by al>out 50.000. over the Populists. ! The Republicans had 110 ticket in the fi<*d. Mr. A. W. Harris, a silver mine owner and operator of Kingstown, New Mex ico, in a letter of congratulation to Major McKinley declares that in his opiniou "free and unlimited coinage of silver at \ a ratio of 16 to 1 would result in silver monometallism and the consequent over whelming disturbance of the general finaticial system of the country." And he adds: "While my chief interests are intimately associated with silver mining, aad I would gladly see the white metal appreciate in value by any proper and permanent means. I cannot wish its ac ; complishment at a sacrifice to the general weal and loss of national financial honor. It may seem incredible to many Sil verites that such reasonable and sensi ble views could emanate from a silver mine owner; but the truth doubtless is that not even in the mining camps is there any such unanimity for tree coin age as Eastern people have been led to believe. United States Senator Edward O.Wol cott, of Colorado, has issued a statement giving his reasons for supporting the Republican National ticket and platform which have been repudiated by his col league, Senator Teller. Senator Walcott declares that he is in favor of free coi nage of silver but belives that an inter national agreement is the most desirable means of securing the result. He says that the Republeean platform pledges the party to use its best efforts to pro mote such an agreement, and thit the pledge must be taken in good faith, in view of the party's record upon other questions. The other planks in the Re publican platform meet his cordial ap proval while the declaration of the Dem ocratic and I'opulistic platfcnn upon every question, eascept that of silver, he regards as heretical and injurious. JODOB ELLIS, of Vonkers, N. Y*. has thrown out a counter-slogan to match Bryan's famous figure and dictntn. "You shall not slay American labor wioh a sil ver slug," ss.ys Ellis.
