FREE SILVER HUflBUG. A Plain Statement by a Western Business Man Who is a Democrat. An iulerestitig coutributiou to the cur rency question has been made by M. M. Fccor, one cf the most pronunet business men of Kacine, Wis., and hia letter has been to highly lepirded that copiea of it havo bet-n tent all over tho country. Mr. Pccor, who writes tho letter to tl.e U uico Tsrcea is ademccrat of tho deerca v ;o. Ho has been elected Mayor of Baciiie tlreo times in succession on tho deirocatse ticket. Ho has made a fortuto in tho manufacture of trunks and baps in tho 'Weft, and was one of tho pioneers of that trado in the West. Mr. Stcof's letter toads its follows: I notice vour coires pondence and also Senator Doolittle'a correspondence iu re gard to demonotitiDR of silver, and I wish to say briefly that tho word "De ffionetirins:" is a humbug, and has no foundation, and is really a bluff. There is nothing lite demonetizing anything, it is either overdone, overproduced or overmanufactuted, whether it Ins gold, silver, copper, iron, wheat, or anything else. The consumption of an article, is what places the price on an article, and when anvthicg is overmined or overpro duced it "loses its value. Who demon etised 6toel rails? I have known tho time when steel and iron rails were worth G0 to $S0 a ton, and today they are worth only $16 to 20 a ton; I have known tho time when copper in tho re gion of Lke Superior was 2S cents a pound, today it is worth only 7 or S ceuts r. pound; I have known the time when a karat of diamonds sold for 300, today you can buy them for J75 to ?100. Who was it that demonetized the karat of diamonds? 1 have known the time when common cast nails sold for 2 50 to id CO a keg or 100 pounds, according to size ; today you buy wire nails from a 60 penner opwardf for from $1.05 up ward and get four times as many nails to a round as yen did of the cast nails. Who demonetized these nai.' Have also known the time when the J. I. Case Tlueshing Machine Company sold their thresher for $750 to $S00, and you now pay $400 orf500 for a six cr eight-horse power machine. There was a time hen silver mines, which dt J not produce ore worth $10 to J12 a toe were not worked, but now with skilled labor and machines they tan work mines producing ore worth only $4.00 to $5.00 a ton, because the skilled labor and machines have made it possi tie. Did Eothschild, Vanderbiit or Johnny Bel! a:v? anything to do with running down the price, of silver or any other article? The simple fact is that they were overproduced, and is it not true that when all mines aro at work they mine sixty tons cf silver to one tan of gold, and no w with $25 of silver money yen can buy twice as much stiver as your money contains, either in Europe or in the Un'.ted States, while, cn the other hanJ.yoacan take $25 of gold money and you cannot get any more gold than year money contains, bat in silver yon get double "the value, and doesn't that show yon that silver dollars have only 50 cents worth of silver in them? Yen Si'.verltes, if you are honest men ask for 32 to 1 instead of 10 to 1, in silver to vosr dollar, and then yen ask an honest thing; tct when yon ask 16 to 1 it shows only 50 cents to the dollar, and i: means a bogus dollar that you are advocating, and not an honest dollar. Why not ask to leave the silver where it is and cat the gold dollar in two, thus making $10 cf $5 cr else raise silver to 32 to 1. Xow, I wish to say something to liarn. Utter, the "Great Silver King,"' in re gard to demonetizing silver, and that we hare demonetized wheat in price. What nonsense are you talking about? ion are not the only one who talks that way, but a great many others are just hie you. 1 want to ask yon, are we buying wheat or selling wheat? Is it no: true that we are selling wheat, and dses not Europe make the price on our wheat, and do we not have to take the world's price mDoey for our wheat. What does Europe care if our money is worth 5 cents on a dollar or 1C0 cents on a do.lar, or do they care what cur wheat i? worth? When they buy our wheat they care nothing about our money, S3 ther pav only market value. Mr. Utley, yon are lame with all the others of yonr kind, as the price of wheat depends on all the competition and demand from Knssia and Prussia, South Asia and the Indiss, and wherever wheat is raised on the other side. I just want to show you that you havo been preaching a false doctrine and the sooner yoa desist advocating this doc trine the better it will be for yon. Why not always tell the truth and "shame the devil. I am always for the truth and honesty and not for deception. The National Nominees. Indianapolis, Sept., 3 The newly or ganized gold-standard or national demo cratic p3rty of the United States today nominated Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois, to carry the standard as its nom inee for the office of president. Senator Palmer was nominated upon the first ballot, receiving 757j; votes out of a total of 9S3. He was then dfclarcJ the nominee of the convention by accla mation. When the roll-call of elates was made for nominations for president, all narnea were withdrawn except those of (lencra! Bragg, of Wisconsin, and Senator Pal mer, of Illinois. It was conceded that Palmer would be nominated and an attempt was made to have this done by acclamation, but the motion was declared out ot order and a vote was ordered. As soon as the result was announced, General Bragg leapt upon a chair and lei the wild cheers for Palmer which lasted for bsveral minute. When the demonstration had partially subsided, General Bragg made a motion to the effect that Senator Palmer bo declared the nominee by acclamation, which was carried with a whop. The roll-call of states was then ordered for nominations for vice-president. Browder, of Kentucky, took the platform end presented the name of General Buckner. A wild demonstration fol lowed, at the close of which General Bzckccr was nominated by acclamation. The Vermont Election. Sr. Albans, Vt., Sept. 2.
