Harvey, author of "Coin's Fi­ nancial School," aroused the ire of vet­ erans oi the late war, and all patriotic citizens, at Clinton, Iowa, when during his free silver speech he injected into it a scurrilous attack upon the Union Gener­ als Sickles, Alger, Howard and others who are touring the western states in the interest of good government and sound money. His vituperative language should go on record in every newspaper in the country that places patriotism high above partisanship, and the veter­ ans of the civil war whose comrades were subjected to such a gratuitous insult, should paste the sentence in their hats for future reference, narvey referred to the generals as "old wrecks of the re­ bellion, who have lost all their honor and patriotism, and are tools of political shy locks." The speaker narrowly es­ caped being mobbed at the hands of the old soldiers who heard the remark, and the larger part; of his audience.is report­ ed to have left the opera hou&e in ill-con cealed disgust of the man who conid so wantonly attack" the defenders of the Nation. - The war generals arrived in Clinton Tuesday night and spoks to tremendous gatherings, and in the course of his re­ marks Gen. Sickles referred to "Coin" Harvey's insult in the following lan­ guage;:. ; We are wrecks of the war, but"no man who knows us can truthfully say or dares to say in the reach of my arms that we are agents of Mammon. We do not often take notice of what is said by every cur. Our march is onward and we do not stop to take heed of bark­ ing curs. Mr. Harvey is a car. Let him go back to his kennell. If he is prudent let him keep out of my way or he might run against a wreck . that would Bink him. THE SILVER CONSPIRACY. « Somebody blundered. T. S. Merrill, •secretary of; the bimetallic league recent­ ly sent one hundred circulars to silver mine owners asking for campaign funds. One of these circulars got astray and in­ to a newspaper, and now Mr. Merrill is out of a job and the mine owners arei boiling mad. Mr. Merrill said that if Bryan is defeated, silver will not sell for more than 40 cents an ounce. And he closes his letter by a direct appeal to the owners, calling them by name, and asks them to send him the profits of one month for campaign uses, assuring suc­ cess if this is done. The letter is candid, fearfully candid. The silver men are backing - Bryan, ^hy? For the "horny handed sons of toil?" or for themselves? Have the mine owners ever shown particular solic­ itude for the workman? They have steadily cut down their men's wages. With Bryan elected their increased profits would aggregate §400,000,000 Who would pay it? Not the rich, but the working men of the country, for nothing is surer than that prices would rise with no proportionate increase of wages. ' How ludicrous is Bryan's harangue against trusts when his own, the silver trust, is the greatest on earth. WEST McHENRY, I» 1-..

TANNER. teaT Bryan's speeches increase in bitter­ ness as the campaign progresses, because the fact becomes plainer to him that he is destined to be the worst defeated man who ever ran for president on the ticket of either of the two great parties. V&F Bryan has one speech, and on it he rings all the changes in the universe, but it is one speech just the same. He is a man devoid of ingenuity, and will be des titute of followers if the present stam­ pede continues. LABORS GREAT PROTEST. The sound money [parade on Friday formed the distinctive feature of the com memoration of Chicago day and mar­ shaled together the mightiest industrial army ever seen in the west. One hundred thousand representatives of labor and capital marching shoulder to shoulder for the maintenance of the national honor formed an inspiring spectacle, the magnitude of which will not soon fade from the memories of men. Employer and employes keeping step in solid phalanx, touching elbows in thf defense of a .common cause in which their interests are mutual and inseparable, formed a mighty object lesson that must convey a stinging rebuke to the repudia- tionists who have sought to array labor against capital in this campaign. The industrial interests represented were stupendous. In the diversity ot productive activity typiSed by the floats and in the great pay rolls suggested by the marching toilers of the people ac­ quired some faint idea of what Chicago has at stake in the issue to be decided November 3d. As a protest on the part of the soldiers of industty against the proposed debase­ ment of our currency the demonstration was signal and overwhelming. The unanimity of the movement was superb. The admonition conveyed to those who propose to sacrifice the national honor was ominous and significant, The hosts of skilled labor notified the spoliationists that they had settled the currency ques­ tion for themselves. They will not be coerc d by windy labor agitators, neither will they be deceived by the soft notes of the silver syndicate orators. The labor of Chicago is free, fearless and independent. It will stand like a rock for sound money on the 3d of November.

J. Hagerman, the big silver mine owner, to a request for a subscription to the Democratic campaign fund: After mature consideration 1 have con­ cluded that the dangers likely to follow the success of the Democratic-Populist 3ombination would out-weigh any possi ble benefits, and I cannot contribute to the Democratic campaign fund, either personally or through the companies in which I am interested. Mr. Hagerman would like undoubtedly to see an increased demand for his silver, but he feels that free coinage threatens business prostration, and he knows that business prostration would carry down mining with everything else. He is wise enough to look well into the future. Wall Paper B -- AND-- New Paper, just in. Prices Lower than ever. Try Our "Floor Paints, Try Our Outside Colors.

This has been a remark­ ably bad year for balloonists, no less than 14 of them having been killed, and November 3 will close the season. lOTT. V. Powderly, the great labor leader denounces free silver and declares that a debased currency means low wages for the workingman, higher prices for goods and more hardship. He says that workingmen ought-to realize how little confidence they can place in the Democratic party after listening to its promises in the last presidential cam­ paign and nearly starving on Democrat­ ic performances during four years. About eighty silver mine owners in the United States are credited with wealth aggregating $600,000,000, or an average of a little more than $7,000,000 each. It is in the interest of these "poor men"--in the interest of increasing the product of their mines that Candidate Bryan is ranting over the country, de­ crying rich men and Beeking to array the less fortunate against them. Of course the rich men to whom Mr. Bryan objects are not these "poor" mine owners He is after the men who run large manu­ facturing plants where labor is employed --the men who will open the mills if given a fair opportunity; not the men who seek only to open the mints. It is the men who build and operate railroads to employ armies of workmen to which Mr Bryan objects--the men who create wealth througli the employment of labor not the men who create wealth by mere fiat of the government. and we are willing to share with you the profits, but $ou cannot tell what the saving is until you investigate. section is fairly bristling with bar­ gains.

As second man on the Populist ticket, with Bryan at the head, he insisted that Sewall should withdraw from second place on the Chicago ticket and that he should be accorded that position.

His sweet illusion that all he would have to do would be to pass through them and insure them to the cause of free and un adulterated silver has been dispelled, and his party managers have insisted that he hustle out west and look after some of the sure silver states that seem to be get­ ting into a wabbly condition on finance, Bryan is slowly realizing that his hopes being president are doomed.
