Mr. Itlnc k apoke aa followa: Fellow tillaena: To the veal majority of nianklnd there la no way open to acquire wealth or cometence except by persistent and continuous labor. Unless a fortune hua been Inherited, a lire or comfort without work la a dream. Every man of hiulncn knowa thla In be true. KxH-rlcnre hn proved It. and eenslble men when reasoning by themselves reach the Hunt conclusion In that re gard. There la little danger of the prac tical man being misled when conslder Inic In private hla own altaira. The danger atiacs when, by aicluilon with Inrire masse, under the excitement w hi' h .Wi ll UhNoclutlon createa, he la hed to fnrauke (he Kuldance of hla sober n uon and hope by the clamor and out I cry of large nutiilvr t gnln, a one of I a ul. u ii.t.v Ahld u lil. li K.. t,.t'u n ould l denied him atone. Those who are mint eK. r to tell you how to make your fortune have never made their own, and those who know them best !e,.e they never w ill. Fortune-telling as a I'lixlniMt Is neither relluble nor hotie.-t. and It cannot be made so by calling It slat, xmnnslilp, or by enlarg ing the territory In which It Is up. rated, or by increasing the number of those who rnguge In It. The man who In these days Is hoodwinked by a stun' of rii hi s acquired w ithout labor Is of Dieted with such credulity aa Is more likely to ni.ike him absurd than success. ful, und a method which will not oper- ate well for one will operate no better when that one Joins a thousand others. There are no more sensible people In the world than the American people. Their sense and shrewdness are pro verbial the world over. The individual Yankee Is a man whom, In any situa tion. It Is hard to outwit, and I have never understood what has sometimes become of the shrewdness that marks htm as an individual when he Joins a company. There Is no Intelligent man In the country who now believes that he can Improve his condition by giving his nofc's. and yet It Is not many years ago that some of the most eullghtened states in the I'r.lon were carried away by the delusion of unlimited green bucks. The mistake we sometimes make is in allowing ourselves to be swayed by a crowd c niposed of those who. as Individuals, would not exercise upon us the slightest Influence. Tumult Is neith er argument nor reason, and an Irre sponsible person's opinion Is no better when supported by that of a hundred others equally Irresponsible. The spot where we are confused Is when we lose the Individual In the crowd. He knows no more in the mul titude than when he went In, but his voice serves to Increase the uproar, which often affects our senses. We are in that dangerous position now. The noise la dying down some what, and as the crowd disperses we discover many who, as Individuals, have never possessed our confidence. Some of the leaders are men of bad repute. There are Altgeld and Tillman, who rep resent ideas that would cause every honest man In the country to bolt his doors, and Bryan, who can never In spire widespread confidence until emo tion Is considered a better guide than reason, and a large number of others who are sufficiently described by nam ing their associates. These men were never trusted In the ranks; why should they be trusted as leaders? If every man will carefully consider In his own home the conditions that surround him and the propositions made to him. If he will bring to bear his business sagacity and experience with a conscientious desire to be fair with the rest of the world, he will not go far astray In his conclusion. His Judgment Is likely to be better under the sobering restraints of his family and home thnn under the excitements of a mass-meeting. We may put It down as an absolutely safe rule that whatever Is not good for us when alone la not good for us In com pany with others. These considerations will aid us in de ciding what to do with this trouble some question of our finance. There Continued on Fourth Page.) EOOUEST: WORDS " ' FOR M'KIXLEY The Hon. S. H.

A large portion of Air. Pile's speech was given to a review of the money question, which he handled In a master ly and convincing manner. The speaker said that the Republican parly believed In bimetallism amongst all the nations and had pledged Itself to that end, and would keep Its prom Ise. "We want our money as well as our ling to lie respected when we take It abroad. They talk about bl-nietalllc France! It wns France, with the Latin I'nlon. who put more sliver In circu lation, and not France alone why not tell the truth? liok at Mexico look at the average man of that country he Is about w hat the Populists want to bring the American rltlxen to. "When the American workman starts on a trip to Mexico he knows, as we all do, that Just before he crosses the line he can exchnnge his t00 of t'nited States money Into IU'00 Mexican, and if he works In Mexico and earns $600 in Mexican money, when he returns to the I'nlted States he can only get J300 of our money In return for It. Why Is It China, Japan, Mexico and South American countries cannot elevate their money? Because the great civilized na tions of the earth are all on a gold ba sis. The United States has always held her head up and maintained her self equal with the best, shall she now- lower her standard? Not so long as there Is a Republican to prevent It! Poor Kansas demonstrates the results sure to follow Populism, can the nation afford to adopt such principles only to double the wealth of China, Japan and Mexico? I say that the people of the United 8tatea will never stand it as long aa the Republican party Uvea to put It down." (Great applause.) The speaker made a personal appeal to the free silver Republicans, who he said must not imagine they carried away all the brains of the old party, and urged them to get back Into the fold as quickly as possible that they might not have a lasting shame to re gret. The great crime was committed In ISM when the mills and factories were closed, and not In 1ST3. "The Pop ulists fooled us In 1892, and will fool us again If possible.

An Englloh gentleman traveling for Hla health, and who arrived on the Brit inn ahlp Inch.ipe link, from Callao, f'eru. had much to ay yeaterday of an Intereating nature concerning that far away Routhcrn country. "We left Callao alx weeka ago, and had a moat pruxperou and pleasant voyage to Axtorla. Since the revolu tion and the Iota of Iqulqul In Callao haa bee0 the principal aeaport of Peru. The population of Peru la about three millions. Her principal ex porta are augar and cotton to England.

"Much interest Is now excited by rea- ,on ef the recent discovery of rich gold washings In the streams tributary to the Amazon, which runs through the forests of the southern part of the country. No doubt the business of Peru would be In much better condi tlon and Its people more prosperous were It possible for them to adopt the gold standard of money. But like Mex ico and China It will be hard for her to do this as she has been so long a silver nation.

It Goes Close to 71 and Winds f p a Little Less than 70. Chicago, October 14. In spite of the ll cent advance reported In the local market yesterday, Liverpool opened this morning with a d decline. But it had no effect on local operators, who appeared crazy to buy wheat, and their demands were not satisfied until tlie first half hour of the session had elaps ed. The first trades In December wheat were at from 701 to 70-c, compared with 70 at the close of the market yesterday, and before the demand was satisfied for a time It rose to 71 cents. The strength came directly from San Francisco, the messages from that city being sensational, and as some of them were accompanied by orders to buy wheat, they were In that way made doubly Impressive. One message read: Six cargoes taken tor India, and five for Austrialla; the India demand enor mous." Northwestern receipts, too, were much smaller than they have been re cently running. That such a sharp ad vance should bring out heavy lines of long wheat waa to be expected and out they came. One broker whose selling credited to Armuor, let go of the first large line, amounting to nearly 1.500,000 bushels. Then others came In and a stupendous amount of wheat was dumped on the market. A sharp decline was Inevitable, and before the bottom was reached, the price of December had declined to 69Vi. a breathing spell occurred and then came fun. Prices fluctuated with the rapidity of a kaleidoscope, and no one seemed to know why. The price soared to 70c, and from that shot up to 7Sti cents. It seemed to have lilt its head against something on the last Jump, so it fell quickly after to 69-, and It vvas struggling at the latter price at the end of the session. BUTTERWORTH AT ALBANY.
