The number of land owners was reduced trora one hundred and sixty thousand to thirty thous and, and - in the language of Wendell Phillips ''bankruptcy, the history of which makes the blood run cold to-day, blighted the empire." The American cyclopedia, which knows' no - politics, or creed, sa-'S of the same legisla tion: ' "This was not accomplished without widespred disaster, the details of which are painful to read of, even at thisdistant day" The provision for meeting the indebtedness of the government and regulating the finances of the country are very . similar in this country to those . in Eng land except that the bank of En gland , performs very ; much the duties of the ' United States Treasury. :' The Bank of England has to keep in its vault the in debtedness, of the government, or bullion, one fourth . only of which can be silver, to - an amount-equal to its issue of notes. feince the resumption ot specie payments in 1823 so scarce has leen gold that ' the linnk of En. up to 1866, has had ; to 'sus pend specie payments three times to Wit: October 25. 184-7.

I haven't seen " -t 1 lowif;; ia anything V - FROM MISSOURI. ; Bloomfield, Mo., Aug. 31. As I have beea silent for some time, I will again write yon a few lines to let you know that we, Mis sourians, are for free silver, 16 to 1, and I am glad to state that this good old State will go her ' lull quota for Win. J. Bryan for President, and Arthur Sewall lor Vice-President. We highly endorse Bryan's saying on money question. His speech of acceptance in " New York has created quite a sensa tion over here and we can hear said on every corner by -the Republicans, that they arc for Bryan first, last and all the time. They are with us when we say we want more silver and are go-. g to have -it after November, hen Wra.: T. Brvan is elected President and Hon. Cy. Watson Governor of the good old State of North Carolina. ' - r - Mr. Editor, when I saw Cy's. name heading the list, and him to bear the banner of the good Old North State, I could not re frain from saying, Hnrrah for Cy. Watson and free silver I for they will be borne to 'success in November, I am glad to state to the readers of your good pa per that I heard His Honor, Mr. Coxev soeak a short time ago, and will say that he is not so much of a tramp as a great many would think, but I will say that Mr. Coxey is not a fit subject to occupy the position to which he aspires. He has prov en himself on several occasions during his speeches, to 3 be cranky, about like he was when he put his foot on the green grass at Washington. He spoke at some length, touching on the issues of to-dny,; but I rather think he is a little far-fetched in his opinion concerning the future politics. :' Mr. bditor, we were awiut sor ry to loose our aspirant "Silver Dick"., lor the Presidency, but when the Bov made his speech. we gladly accepted him because we thought the banner placed in his hands would be borne to a grand " and i glorious victory. 1-or with him the free silver parties-have seen that he carried with him their idea , concerning the paramount question of to. j it i j . j- nay, su iiicv iiuiiniiHieu mm lor President, and ' with the united forces we will have free silver and lots of it. The gold bugs will be like the gold dollars are. few and far' between, for I dare say that the common Republi can don't get a hold ot a gold dollar once a year, and then thr idea of him putting himself up and crying out gold, gold, when it would bring distinction to his nnanciai interest, so let us, as Democrats, stand firmly on the Chicago , platform and ; elect Bryan tor President, and i Cy. Watson tor Oovernor and there by carry all the boys in our boat to success whether they wish to go their or not. - . t 1 am glad to see the name of J R. Miller on the State ticket as he has gone on that line, but am sorry . that he took the rong road which leads to fortune and to fame.

He will re turn here in a tew days and then go to his Lou8iana home to en tcf the campaign- Hecontinued: "While 1 am m favor of sound money,-yet there is something oi more importance to us; some thing we have more at heart than the money question. I re fer to the race question. A split in our party in my State might mean in many instances negro domination. We can stand any thing but that, lhe whites must rule. We feel very stronriv on the sbbject, as anybody who has been through tne South must ap preciate. To be sure, we are greatly Interested in the money question., I don't believe in the free coinage of silver by this na tion alone. - But I don't think that the coinage ot silver will im peril this nation's life.- Not at all.

Then, if it prove a fail- uie, we'll get rid of it, and better on ior naviug experimented man we would to have this agitation kept up for an everlasting time I am not in favor of tne third ticket. I am for sticking by the party." - BRYAN AND HIS CAMPAIGN. Charlotte Observer : There is no discount upon the nerve of. Candidate Bryan. He has not begun his campaign in a State where things are all hi way, but has attacked the strong man in his own fortress. Almost con tinually since his notification he has been speaking and with power and effect at that in the very State of New York, where the gold-bug is supposed to have everything his own way, and now he has gone to Ohio, Mr. McKinley's own State, where he Is addressing multitudes of such size as to suggest, that the - Re publican candidate needs to look to his defences right at home. The question ot Mr. Bryan's power as a thinker and a speak er has already been decided in his favor. The question of bis courage is no longer, either, a profitable one for debate. - He has the pluck ' to go into the strongholds of his enemies to plead his cause, and it is not go ing beyond the mark to say that the cause he represents has not been so "powerfully or so effec tually presented by anybody else at any time. Referring specifi cally to the two States already mentioned, it may be said, we think, with truth and candor, that both are to-day fairly de batable eround. made so. large ly, by the personality and the power of the Democratic pres idential nominee. . ' A Delusion. Washington Star: "William." she said, ''I've read so much in the comic papers about what a good time a man has when his wife out ot town that I guess I'll go away for a week or tw o." "1 veread ot such things, but they are no t true to nature. When a man's wife goes out of tovfrn he goes down to the office the first day or two looking kind of jolly and rougish and pretend ing that he thiuks people ought to envy "him. Then he begins to look as if he needed shaving. - A button drops oil his vest and it doesn't get sewed on.- Then his clothes begin to look mussy in general. And by the time ms witt; n ready to come nome he is the picture of discomfort.

Ray, Esq., of Macon, the Democratic leader in the lower house of tbe last Legislature, has been nominated fnt the Sen ate in the thirty-fifth district. Nearly all the large city dailies are for McKinley and gold, while thecountry papers and the voters are with Bryan and silver. This fact tells the whole story. The chairman of the finance committee of the National Pop ulist executive committee, H. W. Reed, of Georgia, is the president of a national bank, as is Mr. Sewall. - The Leaks ville ,. Gazette, a straight Democratic paper, lays out the . Dem.-Pop. fusion in Rockingham .county and says 600 Democrats and 300 Popu list will not vote the ticket.. ;; After a recent speech made by Dockery a whole lot of leading McKinley : Republicans were scurrying to Washington and New York to ask Mark Hanna what they should do now. The St. Louis Republic says there is some truth in the charge that Bryan is not as shrewd a business man as McKinley. He has not been able to avoid the payment of debts. We have had an overproduc tion of almost everything else, with no relief in sight, and for the novelty ol the thing, we would like to try an overpro duction of money. It might have the desired effect. The New York correspondent ot the Baltimore Sun, extreme gold paper, says the Democratic leaders now believe that New York can be carried for Bryan, and that they have definitely de cided to make the greatest tight of the campaign in that State.
