James O. Itlalna. (Congressional lUeord, paces 830 to f, 1878.1 It seems to be the idea of the Han nacrats that the more money is pat at their reach for cornering it, the more it is debased. Gkoroe F. Minek, secretary of the state board of charitie, announces that it haa been found necessary to change the da e of the proposed state conference fiom Nor. 1 and 19, to Nov. 12 and 13. It will be held at the capitol at Springfieli and prom ised to be an interesting event. A canvass of a block in the Ninth ward at St. Louis made last week, hhowo how wild the republican' can va'sertt have been in their estimates. This block was canvassed three weeks ago by the Merchants1 League club worker and he reported 35 re publicans and five democrats. Last week's house-to-house canvass shows 21 for Bryan and 16 for McKinley. This poll shows that 19 republicans in one block in one of the largest German wards in that city intend to vote for Bryan. Speak Ont. Mr. McKinley . Mr. Bryan's explicit and emphatic declaration against trusts in his speech at Tammany ball. New York, entitles Mr. McKinley to the floor on this subject. Mr. Bryan said: "I am opposed to the trusts, and if I am elected I shall nse as an ex ecutive what power I shall have to drive every trust out of existence. If present laws are not sufficient to meet this evil, I, if elected, will rec ommend such laws as will meet it. If the constitution of the United States is so construed as to prevent any interference with the oper ation of a trust, I shall recommend such an amendment to the constitu tion as will overcome that evil." What has Mr. McKinley to say on this subject. The New York World, goldite, says that in regard to trusts in general Mr. Bryan is sound, and calls Mr. McKinley 's attention to the list of 139 of them recently published in that paper. Mr. McKinley must be aware of the purely arbitrary ad vance of $1.50 a ton in the price ol anthracite coal by the great coal trusts. What does he think of the trust? D,cs he think they ought to bo suppressed? Will ue say as much an Mr. Bryan did? Thus far Mr. McKiuIcy hn loon as mum as an oyster in regard to iho trusts All the trusts and combines and monopolies are supporting him: are contributing their money to furnish the literature, the speakers, the torchlights, the red tire, anl the en thusiasm for his campaign: are fur nishing free cart to carry delegations to Canton, and to republican rallies in Illinois and elsewhere; are exert ing themselves in every way to coerce and bulldoze wsgeworkers and the people generallT.il The fact that Mr. McKinley has not nan a word to say agaioi-t the trnsls is not nly significant it is appalling. When we realize that Mark hanna. Andrew Carneeie. Duke Pullman, all the railroad pool mag nates, all the street car syndicates, all the bond-bnying syndicates, all the insurance company svndicates. all the vicious and monarchlal in fluences are arrayed against Bryan and in favor of McKinley, the pub lic can readily understand wbv Mc Kinley does not pldg bimtelt as Bryan does, if he is elected to use a an executive all the power he shall bare to drive) every trust out cf ex istence. Can Mr. M Kinlev afford to re main silent. The third cf Novem ber will MIL Mr. McKinley may re main silent, bat the people will peak out then. John Mm Teansr Piiniim I A prophetic incident occurred dur ing the races at Springfield the other dav, which the Springfield Register thns describes and which shows that even the race horses are coming out according to Hotl this year: "John K- Tanner distanced! That was the announcement from the starter's stand at the ttate fair grounds yesterday. Republicans looked-forlorn and dejected, demo crats took op the announcement. John R. Tanner distanced.' and rended the air with cheera. Then some republican aroae op from among the immense concourse on the grand stand and proposed 'three cheers for John R. Tanner.1 There waa i loll, but his own response was me ony one near a. Amid the mighty bam of voices, it might nave oeen taken for the ham of a bumble bee in a jag. Then there was a laagb. It broke into a mighty roar, which rose like a mighty wave, and when it had somewhat subsided. some enthusiast shouted "What's iuo mmier wun Angela f from a thousand throats came the answer: He's all right. Then the multitude cheered again. From a score of points almost simultaneously three cneers tor Altgeld were proposed. When the response came it fairly raised the roof. "The occasion of the demonstra tion was the 2:30 pace. An admirer of John R. Tanner had named bis horse after the republican nominee tor governor, and entered him in the race. John R. Tanner caught the republicans in the crowd. Thev proceeded to turn the race track into a political demonstration, and when John B. Tanner finished first in the first heat, they howled lile mad men. Joe Grout, Esq., attorney, led the demonstration. A very lank reachy horse, however, made the heat very warm for John R. Tan ner. This horse was John Sea, but that name was near enough to John P. to popularize him with demo crats, so in the next heat when John Sea scooted past John R. Tanner. and finished first in the handiest kind of fashion, the feat caused a delirium of joy among democrats, Basil Djr- ey leading in the lusty applause. John R. Tanner proved a very bad finisher, though good in a prelimi nary heat, for he trot worse and worse, and finally in the last heat he tell back clear into the rack, and the flag at the distance pole fell In front of him as Gray Hal's nose poked un der ine wire with the field atrnng out oetween. Joy reigned in the democratic heart, aad republicans naa no more interest In the races that followed. 'John R. Tenner distanced That recalls a race at the fair grounds here four Tears ago on the old track. A devotee of Gov. Fifer named a horse after the then repub lican gaoernaiortai candidate, and entered him in a pace. Five heats were driven, and the last words of the judge in announcing the finish neat were Moe titer distanced.' And in November, 1892, Joe Fifer was distanced." 1 . DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.

ULYSSES S. GRANT. Woald Sapawrt Itryaa aad Tree ftliver If He Wet Alive Today. "Ifmyfathercould vote today he would vote for Bryan for president of the United Stales." . The above words are from lips of Jesse Grant. faorite son of General t. S. Grant. ,The son has left the Re publican party Just as his father be fore him left the Democratic party when it made a compromise with the slave power. In his farewell to the Republic an party Jesse Grant writes: "1 believe honestly In the great ad vantage to this country of the free coinage of silver. It does not mean repudiation of our debts at home or abroad. These debts will have to be paid In products, -and anything that will raise the value of them will. 1 believe, benefit all classes. If we can double the price of a silver rupee we have doubled the price of the wheat that comes Into competition with our wheat, and therefore double our wheat as to Its debt paying capacity. The same argument holds good of the all ver peso of the Latln-Ameriran roun tries and the price of our- meats and livestock. It h old pood too. in I he si I ver ruble and the price of oil. It holds good In r.i.iny ways t numerous t men I 'op.

"As to repudiation, whr. we have practically repudiated already. If hank ruptcy means failure to pay debts. Did you ever think of what an awful debt America ones today" Nineteen. thousand millions uf mortgaged In- dchtcdn. AH ihe gold and silver In the world would not pay one-third of this slnsle item of mnrtgage In debtedness. and under our present arrangement of things the awful dis proportion between the ability to pro duce and the power of money to ac cumulate interest makes the breach between this country and solvency grow wider every year. Prices go down, money going up. Interest eating, eat ing all the time. How can It ever he paid?
