Yesterc'iy did not seem to be Pine
ville's gahi day. Only 102 Democrats,
Republicans, Populists and children at
tended the speaking there. . It did not
at all seem like the night several A'ears
ago when Sol Weill and others spoke
there, when the ground for an acre
around was covered and when at least
GOO people were there. But it was
claimed that this was Pineville's largest
political, gathering yesterday. It was
for the Pops., for about; 30 were there
The day was hot and oppressive. The
audience had gathered in a grove near
town and it took some minutes to cal
them. The erowd came frbm far and
hear, mostly far. A good many of the
crowd were strangers to - each otter, as
6eme came from Matthews, some from
Derita and others from. the far extremi-
tives of the county. The most of the
Pops, came from Charlotte.

City of Mexico, Sept 23. Ths
American minister, Mr: Ransom, and
Consul-General Crittenden request the
Protestant missionaries to riot issue
daily paper attacking the adoration o;
the Virgin of, Guadaloupe, it having
been the intention of the missionaries
to circulate -a paper broadcast during
the coming coronation . of the v irgin
festivities. 1 he United States authori
ties here fear the popular 'outbreak
against missionaries and say that in
such event the United States govern
ment would be placed' in an awkward
position, as missionaries would be guilty
oi having aroused the popular passions
against them. The missionaries have
been receiving anonymous letters
threatening them with death. -. '

j3 the proposition for "free silver at

r Stripped of verWaee, the proposition
is for this govermiient to embark in the
immediate and unlimited coinage of sii
ver dollars, each dollar to contain ap
proximately 50 cents worth of silver
bullion : to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing the concurrent circulation
and parity of cola and silver, ana to
nnfnnfil bv law the acceptance of the

The obiect is to reduce the value or
the dollar about one-half, and by fore

but the nnsnspeonng man or woman
who has merely trusted to the honor of
the nation is to be Vdone.up," 3ust in
proportion as the Idollar is scaled. .
The Populists! are, solid lor mis
scheme. It's in then? line of business.
They are opposed to a dollar having any
intrinsic value, but if they must have a
dollar worth anything at all the less it
is. worth the better it suits them. Very
few Republicans flake any stock in the
scheme", and the more ic is stuaiea me
sooner it will be dropped by all think
ing men. " J
The agitators assume,, pecause Kansas
people are in debt, that every Kansas
man ought to jo3n in the clamor for
such dollars. I deny that it is the duty
of any man, becabse he lives in Kansas
and is in debt, ta favor a scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong.
I am as much n debt as the average
Kansan, but I cannot see why this fact
should blind thelconscience or destroy
the ability of ajpian to reason on such
questions. I belieye in bimetallism and
in the use of theV largest volume of sil
ver as standard f money which can be
maintained" at parity with our gold
and paper money so that all of our dol
lars will be equai tor an purposes, uut
the Harvey programme is merely a
scheme to scale dur standard dollar in
which all contracts have been made
for the purpose df robbing creditors.
If. these agitators .simply wanted to
cheapen the dollars for use in future
business transactions, they would advo
cate a law making the new dollars legal
tender for futur debts only. But that s
not what they want. They insist that
these new cheap!? dollars must be made
a legal tender for all debts.
I am opposed to that because it is dis
honest.. If anybody can prove that it is
honest, I will bd glad to be for it. But
ie must prove it by some better argu
ment than the tiireadbare assertion that
John Sherman;! conspired with the
Rothschilds, to tob innocent people 20
