To the voters of the Eighth Con gressional District : Upon the question of the election of a Congressman to represent this District In the next Congress, does it not occur to the voter that this District would be better served by having as its representative one who is a momber of the political party which will have a majority of Con gress, and therefore control its or ganization and work? Every candid citizen, who has observed the drift of political events, is ready1 to con cede that the next Congress will be Republican. Noither is it seriously contended on the part of any Intel ligent man that Major McKinley will not be the next President of the United States. If, then, the next Congress will be Republican, and the next President likewise a Republican, do not com nion sense and selfish interests dic tate that this District should have a Republican Congressman? What influence or weight could the ablest of Democratic Congressmen from this District have with a Republican majority compared with a Republi can representative? This District has vast business interests which re quire the active intervention and at tention of its representative. The citizens generally have or may have personal matters which require the active assistance of their representa tive. No man can expect that a Congressman from some other Dig trict in the State is going to give this attention and assistance. Every Congressman has the business of his own District to look after without concerning himself with the inter ests of some other district. The voters of this District have it in their power to send to the next Re publican Congress Hon. William 8 Kikkpatkick, a citizen of recognized fitness and of such reputation that he will be able to protect and speak for his constituents and thereby avoid the humiliation of appealing to and depending upon some strange Congressman to do this work. These considerations ought to weigh with every voter. It mat- tors little whether the voter is a Sil ver or a Gold man, a Democrat or a Republican- The money question will be determined and put at rest, in all probability, by the election of a Republican President. The result means the maintenance of the pre sent btuuilurd, which the next Con. jjrtas will not attempt ti disturb, Therefore, whatever may be the vlow of the voter on this question of the money, it should not interfere with an intelligent consideration of other questions which are involved in the election of a Congressman. It should be said, however, in this connection that the Republican can didate for Congress stands for the maintenance of the present money of the Country. The very life of the people of this district depends upon the vast man ufacturing, mining and agricultural interests which alnmud in the Dis trict. Those require fit and ade quate representation at Washington. Applicants for pensions, petitioners for governmental attention in what ever form it may arise demand the presence and active work of a Con gressman with influence in the sev eral departments of government. With no intention to reflect upon the Democratic candidate for Con gress, is it not conceded equally by friend and political foe that JcnoE Kirkpatriok combines in himself all the qualities requisite for the duties of a Congressman to represent this District in Congress? He is a train ed lawyer, with the ability to at once take a prominont position on the floor as well as the committees of Congress. He is a student of poli tical questions and has the most in telligent comprehension of the needs of this District. In addition to this and which Is not the least import ant, he lms long been in public life and has the acquaintance and know- lodge of public men, wheroby he would have weight and influence as a Congressman. Every thinking voter should give this matter the most earnest and sorious consideration. This is not the time to allow mere party feeling to influence one. It matters little whether there is one more or less Republican Congressman in the next Congress. But it is of the most vi tal importance to the people of this district that they should be repre sented fitly, intelligently and effec tively in that Congress. ' A LAST WORD. , Before another issue of the Press the numerous questions of the cam paign will have been settled by the American people. No doubt it will be a sensible wise conclusion, at all events it will be the people's will and we have the utmost confidence in their ultimate judgment. They may all be fooled once in a while and some all the time, but they cannot all be fooled all the time and if they make a mistake they are sure to detect and are swift to change it. Four years ago the country was misled by the delusive but attrae tive doctrine of free trade, the peo ple were quick to discern the illusion and two years later applied the powerful remedy of the ballot. They have not forgotten this dearly bought lesson, and they will be slow to again entrust the party with powor which so cruelly deceived them then. The country is safe for McKinley and protection to Ameri can industries and when the free silver heresy is buried beneath the ballots as it will oertainly be on Tuesday next such a wave of pros perity will sweep over this land as has not been felt in years. Lot every one aid in making it larger and forever put an end to the talk of anarchy, repudiation and somothing for nothing. Get in the grand procession now. GO OUT AND VOTE. The battle is ended so far as edu cation and persuasion goes, but no Republican should relax effort until the polls close Nov. 3. Get out and vote and see that your tardy neighbor does likewise. Let there be no stay-at-homes. In this election it is an imperative duty every man owes to himself and his country to record his will as a free, man and an American. Do not neg loct the opportunity. If you do you may regret it when too late. Have your part in the great victory to be won for the honesty, integrity and morality of this nation. In future years you will point to your vote for McKinley as one of the proudest acts of your lives, and your children and children's children will rise up and call you blessed. Vote. A gentleman, who is highly intel ligent, stated publicly this week in Milford that he waa reliably in formed that Bryan made at least 150 McKinley votes by a recent speech in which ho advocated Goverment ownership of railroads. The men argued that if this come to pass, their jobs would be mere political situations, and they would be liable to be turned out with every change of administration. The public would also bo interested in riding on roads manned by unexperienced, and care- loss employees who' could retain their places with a political pull. Do the people want this ? The railroad men certainly do not. With this issue the Press enters on its second year. We have been both fluttered and gratified with the reception it has met with at the hands of tlio peoplo. Our aim has beon to fulfill the expectations of our renders and to make the paper lctter from week to week. How far we have siKxccded in our aim we leave others to Judge. If the Press has established itself in your homo and you feel that you can commend it to your neighbor we nok your cordial oo-oicration in ex tending its sphere of interest and usefulness. SPEAKER CRISP DEAD. f h Passim- Away of a Prominent Ha tlanal Charaoter. An.AtfTA. Oot. 84. The death of ex Rpoaker Charles F. Crisp oooaslon area nrrow In thin city and state and will b deeply regretted throughout the nation. Mr. Crisp died at the Halcyon aanltarlun In this city, where he had been an Inmat for several wanks. Though It had general ly been known that he waa seriously 111 hi condition had not at any time been re gnrded at crltlnnl, and the nnwl of hit death waft a painful surprise to bll frlendi and admirers. Charles Frednrlok Crisp, although o. American pnrcntaire, was born on .Tan Bit, 1H45, In Sheffield, England, where hi parent, who were actors, were playing ii a stock oompnny. He was educated In th. publlo schools of Savannah and Macon, Ha., and enlisted In the Confederate arm) the first year of the war, being then onlj lfl years of sue. He was a lieutenant It the Tenth Virginia Infantry when he wa captured and taken to Fort Delaware as t prisoner. On his return to his home It Kllavllle, Ga., after his release, In Jane, lHflft, he bogan to read law. Admitted tc the bar in lHlift, he soon built tip a oonslcl arable praotloa In 1X73 Mr. Crisp waa ap pointed solicitor general of the southwest ern Judloial olroult of Georgia, and flva years later he became a Judge of the upe rlor court by appointment In 1878 hi was elected judge by the general asem bly and twice re-oleoted. He resigned U accept the nomination for oongress front the Third district, whloh waa equivalent to an election. He served as a representative In eon gress until the time of his death. Hit knowledge of parliamentary law waa nol exceeded by that of any man In the houst exoept perhaps Speaker Heed, with whom CHARLES F. CRISP, he waa frequently In conflict on points oi procedure. During the memorable fight against the so called foroe bill Mr. Crisp was the leader of his party on the floor, displaying remarkable self oontrol, alert ness, boldnoss and patience. In the oom mlttee room and Mr. Crisp at one time or another was a member of all the Im portant oommlttees he showed unweary ing Industry and grasp of detail. In the spring of 188B Mr. Crisp was ohosen speaker pro torn during the absenoe of Mr. Carlisle, and while serving In that oapaolty he made hla first speech advo oatlng the free coinage of silver. Mr. Crisp had displayed each ability as parliamentary tactician that he waa se lected by his party In the first session of the Fifty-first congress to make the fight against enforolng Speaker Heed I rules. The Republicans won In the end, but only after some of the most exciting scenes ev er witnessed In oongress. When the Dem ocrat secured a majority in the next con gress, Mr. Crisp was ohosen speaker after a oontest with Roger Q. Mills of Texas. Mr. Crisp added to his reputation by the fairness of his rulings and his uniform courtesy, although be and Mr. Heed some times olashed as of old. At the time of bis death Mr. Crisp was oandldate for United States senator from Georgia, and would undoubtedly have been ohosen to that honorable position, Sneered to an American GlrL London, Oot. 28.

Following in an extract from the apocoh of Oolonol Robert O. Ingnrnoll t Chicago on Oct 8 : Money that ia roonoy neotla no pnar- ant-oo, noeda no banker; It ia always good. No matter how many nation go down to dust, good mnnoy remain for ever the same. We bave a man running for tbe presidency on three plntforms, with two vice presidents, that any money ia the creature ot law. If the government can make money by law, why should the government collect taxes? Anoording to Mr. Sryan, our fathom wore the friends -ff ailvor, and yet our dear old fatherA in all their live only minted 8,000,000 of these sa cred dollar. Mow see what the one mie of silver bave dono. Since 1878 the enemio of lilver have coined over 430,000,000 of these dollars, and yot silver kept going down. We are ooin- ing now over 93,000,000 a month, and silver keep going down. Senator Jones of Nevada, in 1878, voted for the law of 1878. Ha nid, from his speech in the senate, that Hod bad made gold the statulnrd. Ho said that gold was the mother Of civiliza tion. Whether ho ha heard from God since or not I do not know. Hut now he is on the other side. Senator Stewart of Nevada was there at tho time, but voted for the act of 1873 and said that gold was the only standard. Ho has changed his mind. No government can afford to be a clipper on coins. A great repnblio cannot afford to stamp a lie on silver or gold or pnper. Honest money for an honest peoplo, is sued by an honest nation. Yon cannot make a paper dollar without taking a dollar's worth of paper. We must have paper that represents money. I want it lHHued by the government, and I want behind every one of these paper dollars either a dollar In gold or a silver dollar worth 100 cents, so that every greenback under the flag can lift np its hands and swear, "I know that my re deemer liveth. " That was where I was 80 years ago, and that is where I am to-night For nations and individuals, at all times, everywhere and forever, honeBty is the best policy. Better be an honest bankrupt than a rich thief. Poverty can hold in its hand the jewel honor a Jewel that ontahines all other gems. A thousand times better be poor and noble than rich and fraudulent Nobody can be helped by free coinage except the few people who could pay their debts if they were willing. Some say that it would help the mine owners. It would not Coining this bullion into dollars would not Snereose its value, because you could ooin the bullion of the whole world and the supply would be greater than the demand. Have freeooinage to-morrow, and there is not a silver mine owner that would make a dollar not one by changing It into American coin. It would only be worth what the bullion is worth in tbe open market. We want good money good, honest money. And there was never any real prosperity for a nation or an individual without honesty, without integrity, and it is our duty to preserve the reputation of the great republic. Wheat, Cotton and Silver. While Bryan is telegraphing the New York Journal that "the gold standard makes a dearer dollar, a dearer dollar means falling prices, and falling prices mean hard times," the prices of wheat, oorn and cotton are going np, and the price of silver, the supposed barometer of prioea of farm produots, is going down. Bryan must demodify his farm prod not speeches or he will have to face such hard questions as: "What about wheat and cotton? Are their prices go ing up In sympathy with silver or be cause of a shortage of foreign crops? Wbat connection is there, anyway, be tween the prioea of farm produots and of silver?" Of coarse Bryan can answer all snch questions. In fact, they are "dead easy" for a powerful man who can lift the price of all tbe silver in the world to twice its present height, but it is just as well to avoid all unnecessary embar rassment Whet Ait tha Boneflur If 60 oent silver dollars should double the prices of farm products, it a quite as certain that the prices of all the product which the farmer consumes would double in the same way. In that case It is not eany to see how the farmer would gain anything by the free coinage of silver. Even the wages of labor, the last to rise in an epoch of depreciated currency and inflated prices, would finally, after much distress of the work ingmen, straggle np to the common leveL But whether the former should re ceive 1 100 for 100 bushels of wheat and pay out $1)0 for the necessaries of living or should receive I J 00 fur tho suuie wheat and pay out $180, in both cases the balance on hand would have just the same purchasing power. But in ac complishing the degradation of the monetary standard, which could do neither the farmer nor the wage earner any good, an enormous depreciation of values aud confiscation of accumulated earnings, involving publio and private credit in a maelstrom ot destruction, would Inevitably ensue. Are the farm ers and workingmen of the country will ing to invoke such a catastrophe? Philadelphia KeoortL There has been no time since the re sumption of specie pay moots in 1879 when tbe depositors in savings banks oould not get back a good money as they earned and put in. Do they want even to "chance it" on getting 61 cent or even TS cent silver dollars? rat wm 4 m l REPUDIATION AND DI8HONOR. A Part of One of ttr-rtrr Ward Beecher Meet Sermon. During the flat money and unlimited paper currency excitement of 1877 Mr. Boeeher delivered a famous sermon on Thanksgiving of that year on the perils of the day. In it he need this language: "Whenever In any nation there is snnh an attempt to tamper with stand ard that the moral sense of man is be- wililered and liberty Is given to unprin cipled men at large to chest, to be un faithful to obligation, to refuse tbe payment of honest debts whenever that takes place, it is all the worse if done with tho permission of the law. I hate the devil riding on a law worse than I do the devil riding without a law under him. Whoever tampers with established stnndards tampers with the very marrtrw and vitality of publio faith. The danger into which we are running is hidden undor the mystery of finance and the currenny. All money is bnt a repre sentative of property. As now, by facil ity of intercourse, all the world is one open market, the need of one and she same standard of money, uniform, uni versal and unalterable, become imperi ous. "Gold is the world's standard. Gold i the univerSal measure of value. Other kinds of money there are silver, cop per, paper but they all must conform to gold and be measured by it and be -interchangeable with it In fixed and definite proportions. Gold Is king in commerce. AH other money must rep resent gold. No vote of legislature can ohntige the nature of commerce, the na ture of property, the nature of Its repre sentative in money or the relative supe riority or inferiority of different cur rencies. Uold came to it supremacy as a representative of property by the long established consent of mankind. Oon gress cannot change it for tbe world, nor even for this nation, exoept upon past transactions. It may give impu nity to men to oheat confiding creditors, but it cannot rule the value of currency in all future transactions. "The crime of paying a debt in a cur rency inferior in value to that in whioh it was contracted, base at all times and anywhere, has a doeper guilt and a baser Infamy in our case. When in our mortal struggle capitalists were solicited to lend their money to ns on the faith of the nation, we were too glad, most grateful, for their aid. Then they were not graspiirg and swollen usurers. Oh, nol They were benefactors. We rejoiced In tbeir bounty and gave thanks for their confiding faith in our national honesty. Now, our danger past, we re vile them, finding no epithet too vio lent, and strive to pay them, not gold for the gold they lent our misery, but in a dishonest measure of an Inferior metal. "In the court of the commercial wolrd's oonsoience we shall be convict ed of endeavoring to cheat the men who oame to our rescue in the dark day. Ibis congress would not have existed nor any government of the United States but for the strength given to our armies by foreign capitalists, and now to return their aid by a base treachery is to deserve an , infamy as deep as the lowest depths of hell. But woe to those men, bull headed, without eyes, who are attempting to undermine the integrity aud simplicity of the nation." An Unworthy Cltuten. Bilverite Orator What we want is more money. Bkeptio Would free coinage make more money? 8. O. Certainly. It would give ns both gold and silver. S. But wouldn't free coinage at 18 to 1 drive gold out of circulation. In ac cordance with the Gresbam law? S. O. My friend, Mr. Bryan pro poses to repeal any law that is working in the interest of the goldbngs and Shy looks. 8, But the Gresbam law la a natu re! law, like the law of gravitation. 8. O. My friend, yon are a pessimist and don't know that you are a citison of the grandest country on earth one that can "without the aid or consent of any other nation" repeal even the law of gravitation itself if it should beoome a tool of Wall street Shame on you I You don't belong to this country. At I was saying Ex-Oorernor Bole and Bis Hired Man. Hired Man I heard that in your De Moinea speech yon said prioea are so low that you have either got to get more for your oat or else out my wage. Boies Yon heard right Hired Man Well, whioh are yon going to do? Boies I am going to get more for my oats, ' Hired Man How? Boies By lessening the purchasing power of money. Free coinage will give ns a dollar whioh will only buy five bushels of oats instead of ten bushels. and that will be the same a getting 30 cents for my oat. Hired Man Well, what are yon go ing to do about my wages? Boies Oh, I'll pay yon just the same as I'm paying you now, $20 a month. Hired Man Are yon going to pay me in these new dollars? Boies Certainly ; tbe same kind of dollars that I get for my oat. Hired Man Those dollar that can't buy only half a much of anything a tbe old dollar? Boies Yes, yea; the same sort of dol lars. Hired Man Then, a I understand it, yon propose to get twice a moon for your oata and pay me only half what I'm getting now? Boies Why, no. I'll still pay yon $20. Hired Man Bnt this $20 won't buy only half as much stuff a now, yon say, for the purchasing power i to be less ened one-half ; so with my $20 I can only get $10 worth of stuff. Your scheme would bring yon twice a much fur your oats and bring me only half a much for my work. I this fair, do yon think? Boies Well, every man ha to look out for himself. Hired Man So I see, and I think I'll look out for myself and vote for an hon est dollar for an honest day's work." Council Bluffs (la.) Nonpareil. The farmers oomplain because they cannot find markets for all their prod ucts. How would the doubling of prioea under free silver enable tbe working men of the cities and factory town to buy more thou they do uow ? True Iemoeratle Doctrine, , j Jefferson, In 1788, wrote: "Just i principle will lead ns to disregard legal proportion altogether, to inqnire into the market price of gold In the several countries with which we shall prinoi pally be connected in commerce and to take an average from them. I very much don tit a right now to change the valne, and especially to lessen it" Tbe house committee, in 1821, report ed: "It is sufficient to know, by un happy experience, that it ratio of 15 to 1 tendency I to rid nsof a gold cur rency and leave us nothing but silver." The house committee, in 1834, report ed: "The desideratum in the monetary system ia a standard of uniform value. We cannot ascertain that both metals have ever circulated simultaneously, concurrently and indiscriminately in any country where there are bank or money dealers, and we entertain the conviction that the nearest approach to an invariable standard is its establish ment in one metal, which metal shall compose exclusively the currency for large payments. Andrew Jackson, in 1888, wrote: "There is no fraud in gold. It is un changeable and will do it office every where and at all timea Labor imparts an invariable value to it." Benton, in 1884, said in debate: "It gold ho an intrinsio value, whloh gives it ourrenoy all over the world to the full amount of that value without regard to law or circumstanoe. It ha a uniformity of value which make it the safest standard of value of property which the wisdom of man has yet dis covered. Its Superiority over all other money give to it possessor the choice and command of all other money." Following this dobate the act called the "administration gold bill," In tended to put the country on a single gold standard, was passed, 14S to 88 in the house and 85 to 7 in the senate, and signed by Andrew Jackson, president The house committee, in 1858, report ed : ' 'Gold is the only standard of value by which all property is now measured. It is virtually the only currency of tbe country. We desire to have the standard currency to consist of gold only, and that these silver ooins shall be entirely subservient to it, and that they shall be nsed rather as tokons than as standard coins." "Per Capita." It is more money the Bryanltes want Now, whioh nations have tbe most money those with the gold standard or those with the silver standard? The silverites are fond of talking about per capita circulation. Under free coinage of both gold and silver the United State had a per cap ita circulation in 1800 of $4.09, in 1888 of (18.60, in 1853 of $14.68, in 1873 of $18.19. In 1894 we had a per capita of $24.28; in 1896 we have one of $21.10. The per capita circulation of the world is about $5. 15. Tbe per capita of the gold standard countries ia $18. Tbe per capita of the silver standard countries is nearly $4. 80. Tbe gold standard countries have a per capita of silver alone of $5. 40. The silver standard oonntries have a per capita of silver of $2. 83, the rest of their small circulation being mainly de preciated paper. Tbe gold standard countries, with loss than one-third of the world's popu lation, bave very nearly two-thirds of the world's currency circulation. And yet Mr. Bryan wonld take the United State from the gold standard and place it upon the silver standard. Louisville Courier-Journal. A Few Facta. In 1878 farm products were lower than ever before sinoe theoivil war, and the "greenbaokers" were arguing that the preparation for resumption on Jan. 1, 1879, had produoed the hard times, and their advocate tried to posptone the date for resumption. But resump tion came Jan, 1, 1879, and No. 8 cash wheat sold at 81 ; by May it was up to $1.01 Ji, and by December, 1879, it was up to $1.83. Corn was 9 in January, 1879, bnt in December, 1879, it waa 43 W. Such facte need to be borne in mind at this time, when so many false the ories are afloat Any workingman who found hi market basket too heavy on Saturday night can vote to lighten it hereafter by supporting the presidential candidate who is telling the people of the south and west that the purchasing power of the dollar ia too great Cuba's IUKoa raffing Experiment. Cuba ia furnishing a nearby example of the beauties of government regulation of the value of money on the Bryan plan. Captain General Weyler had deficient supply of cash, and so he had the Banco Espanol put out a lot of pa per money and issued a stringent edict that everybody should take it at par with gold. As the island ia practically under martial law, here was govern ment oontrol of the currency at Its best If yon didn't take the bank bills at par, yon were liable to be shot Even Bryan conldn t do more for silver than that But did the edict keep tbe bank note at par? Not for a day. Almost instantly they were at a disoount, which soon amounted to 20 per cent Even with guns and bayonets yon cannot make 80 cent equal a dollar. Weyler has had to give up trying. He ha finally allowed tha Havana Stock Exohange to quote tbe value of the bank bills in gold. We were going to say that this proves the powerleasness of law to establish the value of money, but we remember in time that Cuba ha loss than 2,000,000 population to our 70,000,000; that she never put down the greatest rebellion of modern time; that her inhabitants are not the riohest proudest, most intelli gent people on earth, and o we are not so sure.
