Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers,, the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wages At all. (Extract Irom the speech ot Bourse t-ockran, ae livered in New York August 18th.) Every Democratic paper should print, and every Democratic speaker should read to his audiences, the following let ter written by President Cleveland in 1893 to the editor of the Atlanta Consti tution: -Gray Gables, Buzzard Bay, Mass., July 16. 1892. Clark Howell, Esq. My -Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent letter has gratified me exceedingly. It has a tone of true Democracy about it, and is pervaded with the sort of Demo cratic frankness which is very pleasing. ' I think the underlying principles of party organization n what you so ad mirably express as an acceptance of the arbitrament of the National Conven tion. : On the other hand, it is as fully the duty cf one opposed to shut his mind and heart to any feeling of irrita tion or resentment that might be al lowed to grow out of opposition based upon honest judgment and a conscien tious desire for party success. "I am not surprised, thcueh I am gratified by the announcement that from th's time to the close ot the campaign vour own service and the invaluable in fluence of the Constitution will be devoted to the fizht tor Democratic success. It honestly seems to me that Democrats who are not at this time loyal to the cause are recreant to their country. "Personal advancement of man is nothing; the triumph of the principles we advocate is everything. "Hoping that we may congratulate each other on a a glorious result in No vember. I am, vours sincerely, "Grover Cleveland.' SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED. A correspondent asks for informa tion oa the following questions : 1. Was the coinage of silver suspended at an t time betweea 1806 and 1873? If so, whi? 2. If so, what circulated as a substi tute for silver? 3V What do Treasury Notes represent, and way were they issued And when were they isiued? 4. What countries suspended the coin age ol stiver about the time the U. S. Government demonetized it? 5. To which countries are the pro ducts cf merica exported, principally, ana wtm products are exported i 6. Fro which countries do we re-. ceive oui principal importations? 7. What would be the effect of the free coinage of silvsr in. America upon those countries; and what would be the effect upon American markets if such countries shouM reuse to return to the silver standard? - 1. No. Between 1806 and 1834 the coinage of the silver dollar was suspended, Decause stiver was at a premium and the silver dollars were exported to meet the demand abroad for silver, but th coinage of the lesser coins went on. - A. ailver continued to circulate, i l ; j i . . ... uui m auuiuou to mac tnere were the bank notes which formed the principal part of the currency. A3. There are two kinds of Treas ury notes, one commonly known as the "greenback" issuecfunder acts of 1862 and 1863 to raise money to carry on the war. ,Of these $450,- 000,000 werelssued, $346,000,000 of which are still outstandinsr. The o others are the notes issued tinder the act of 1890, known as the Sherman act, to pay for the silver bullion pur chased as provided for in that act. These amount to $155,931,000. 4. Germany followed the United States in going to the gold standard. France shortly afterwards ceased the coinage of silver, but retained the double standard. Since then Aus tria-Hungary, Russia, Sweden, Nor- ' T"v i t i ' r way, uenmark, .Belgium, awuzer land, and others ot the lesser powers have adopted the gold standard, as they were practically compelled to do when the greater powers adopted it, for the same reason that Get many gave for it, viz: to place her monetary system in harmony with that of Great Britain. But they all use saver largely, and some more silver than gold. " j X Oar principal exports are to Eng land, Germany and France, and con sist of food stuffs wheat, corn, meats, &'c- We ship something to nearly every country in the world. Our exports during the past fiscal yearmounted to $882,606,938, our imports to $779,710,024 Our prin cipal imports are from England, Ger many, France, Brazil, China and Japan. From the first we import manufactured cotton and woollen goods, steel rails for railroads, cut lery, &c; from France, silk and silk manufactures, wines, and various other things; from Germany, princi pally beet sugar; from Brazil, coffee, and, from that and other South and Central American countries, spices, wool, hides, &c; from China, tea and rice, and silk goods; from Japan, silk goods, principally; from Cuba and the Sandwich Islands, sugar princi pally; fruits from the West Indies form a considerable item. Of the total of $882,606,938 of exports, about four-fifths consist of products of the soil in the shape of bread and meat. Most of our manufactures go to silver countries. 7. The effect of free coinage by this country would be to torce uiu ropean countries to follow our ex ample in remonetizing silver as they did in demonetizing It. T. he lead ing commercial nations of Europe have a larger and more valuable trade with the silver using nations of the East and with the silver using countries South of us than we have and the remonetization of silver, or free coinage, would give us such a vantage ground with those nations that European nations 'would be compelled to adopt bimetallism in self defence. The other nations would hardly wait for England to do it if we lead the way. But even if they should not, that would not adversely affect our trade, for trade between nations is practically a bar tering of one commodity for an other, comparatively little money chanslnir hands. The "balance" of trade is simply the difference in the value or price of the com modities bought or sold. If they preferred to continue, the present system, they would still have to buy from us as they do now, and pay us as they do now, for they do not buy anything from jisTthat they do not need, nor anything that they can buy from other countries with more ad vantage to themselves. If they can buy wheat, corn, meat, &c, on better terms in other countries than they can in this, they will buy there, whether we have the single gold or the bimetallic standard. But if they should remonetize silver, the increase in the volume of currency which would result from that would so stimulate industry and so improve the condition of the people of Europe and of the world that - they could afford to live better, to eat more, and buy more, and our exports of food stuffs and other things would be 1m mensely increased. But whether they adhere to the gold standard or not, we cannot see where the free coinage of silver could adversely affect our trade with any other nation. MLB OB. MENTION. Hon. Tom Watson is not honest. In his speeches in Texas he devoted much of his time to denouncing , the Democratic party and practically ig norlng the existence of the Republi ran nartv Pnt tVtic woe nsrlianc wmm J . to. to to ... .J TV Ktoto,, fV.MS.S, because there was then a fusion be ing hatched up between the Popu lists of that State and the Repulicans with which the Hon. Tom doubtless had a good deal to do. He is now moving around in Kansas. In his speech at Iola, Thursday, he justi fied the present existence of the Pop ulist party by the statement that "the Republicans had betrayed the people by the crime of '73 and the Democrats by the crime of '93." As a matter of fact, while the Republi can party did betray the people by thecrime of '73, the statement as it applies to the existence of the Popu list party has no truth in it. The Populist party was organized before the "crime of '93"' and the silver question made no figure in it. While it formally declares for the free coin age of silver, the Government own ership of railroads, telegrapns, &c, the sub-treasury, and the issuing of notes directly by the Government without the intermediate agency of banks were regarded and contended for a's the looming issues. In the Presidential campaign four years ago us stumpers in the South pooh poohed free coinage as a very small matter, over which It wasn't worth while to waste time discussing. But while the Democratic national plat form of 1892 denounced the Sher man act as a "cowardly make shift" and declared that it ought to be repealed, the Hon. Tom Watson knows that a majority of the Democrats in Congress were opposed to the repeal without making some provision for the coinage of silver as a substitute, and he knows, too, that it was onlv after a hard and nrn. tracted fight that these Democrats were defeated, and that the defeat was accomplished with Republican votes which were cast for the un conditional repeal and thus made the "crime of '93" possible. With out the support of the Reoublicari party that repeal could never have been effected without providing for a satisfactory substitute, Hon. Tom Watson knows all this while he is trumping np hypocritical excuses for his present action. There were some portions of Sena- tor Teller's speech at Morrison, LI., last Monday which the Republican pap;rs that made a pretence of pub lishing the speech found it expedient to omit. The following, in reference to the tariff, is one of them, as we find him since quoted in the Cleve land, 0.,Plaindealer, which published the speech in full : I want to say to you to-day that I am a protectionist. I have not changed my. views upon that question. But let me tell you that the Wi'son tariff bill is not a free trade bill. icisa better oni tor the manufacturers cf this country I do not speak of the farmers than the Re publican bill ot 1888. Tne great bug bear is free trade. You cannot have free trade and everybody knows it. You will have the bind issue under the next ad ministration if Mr. McKinley is elected. The following defence of and trib ute to William Jennings Bryan they also found it expedient to omit : I say to you here now, after an ac quaintance of more tban ssvea years. with Mr. Bryan, and a pretty ciose ac quaintance with him, too, tnat in tne whole ranks of the Democracy there was not a man better equipped and more worthy of nomination than he He who calls him an Anarchist is a slanderer of the vilest character. There is no man in the State of Illinois who bai a better moral character than Mr. Bryan. There is no man in theState of Illinois who has got more intellect, more moral courage. He may not be an ADranam Lincoln, but he has got all the elements that made Abraham Lincoln great. If he is elected President he will see to it that there Is fair dealing. Tnere will he no bonds sold " at a discount to syndicate friends. I was delighted with his nomi nation and I shall be dehghted with bis success. They found it expedient to print that lie about Mr. Bryan's being in the pay of the silver mine owners until Mr. Bryan published his une quivocal and emphatic denial, and then they had to cease circulating it, although some of them tried to jus tify the publicity they had given it. The gold countries of Europe do not want the United States to enter upon the free coinage of silver, neither do the stiver using countries, and both -practically for the same reason, that they both have an ad vantage over the United States with its present monetary system. With the gold standard, the gold countries have no fear of the United States seriously interfering with their trade in the silver using countries, while the silver countries fear that if the United States adopt bimetallism they would lose some of the advantages which they now have by virtue of their silver standard. The Mexican Herald expresses the view of the Mexicans on that subject, and doubt less the views of other silver coun tries, such as China and Japan, in the following:'. Many American- papers now quoting this journal do not comprehend oar po-. sition. We are for cold in the United States and for silver in Mexico. This is not U consistent, for we naturally de sire the continnance of the gold stand ard in the great republic, our best custo mer, and we selfishly desire for Mexico the exclusive use and profit of the silver standard for, at least twenty-rive years more. Silver is making us prosperous and we are not inclined to share its ad vantages with our big neighbor from whom we hope to continue to extract the gold premium on everything we sell ton. CURRENT COMMENT. The pilgrimages to Canton progress with monotonous regular ity. As a matter of fact, this is a much more pleasant way of making Presidential stump speeches than it is to go abont the country in person: Major McKinley would not think of canvassing in his own interest never, never; but a "pilgrimage is quite a different thing Norfolk Landmark, Dem When a monopolist denies that he controls the votes of his em ployes and adds that he lets them all "read up" for themselves, and then vote to suit themselves, he does in point of fact admit that he claims the right to control the votes of; those men whose ballot he says hi allows to be cast free. Isn't it a plain case that if Mr. Monopolist permits hisjemployes to vote as they please he could just as well "corral" their votes bn his own side? Rich mond Dispatch, Dem. : "The Treasury could bid good by to the gold reserve in the event of the election of Mr. Bryan," is a solemn announcement from the gold bug camp. This is a mistake. Mr. Bryan would undoubtedly ap point a Secretary of the Treasury who would exercise the option as to the redemption of United States, notes in gold or silver, instead of giv ing it to the gold speculators in New York. This would discourage the hiding of gold for speculative pur poses and there would be plenty of It in the1 Treasury. Cincinnati En quirer, JJem. PUBLIC SPEAKING. . HON. B. F. AYCOCK.

Just now, as those spots representing the four suits lay there together, the signification ol their forms flashed on me. "Well, -what is it?" asked his part ner. "Simple as can be," answered the other. "Look at those four suits and see how alike they are in form. Can't you see they are all arrows? Cunei form, and no mistake. They quite evidently originated with the old Assyrian inscriptions. I have no doubt that these figures originally represented arrowheads. When the Germans adopted the heart, bell; leaf and acorn on their cards, they pre served the anoient form.
