It was in the form of a letter from D. W. Needler, local collecting agent of the McCormick Harvesting Machine company of Chicago, and was ad- dressed to the agent of the company at Carthage, Mo. A special dispatch | to The Times from Carthage gave the necessary information, but until investigation could be made the let. ters were not published. Mr. McCormick was one of the syndicate whose good offices made possible McKinley’s nomination, and his efforts to secure his election have been unceasing.

Kansas City, Mo , Sept. 10, ‘96.— Dear Sir: We sent you ky express | yesterday a package of sound money literature.

Good night.” “Will you favor the Times with your side of the affair?” “I don’t want to talk about it.

Among other things, he said the cause of the hard times was over-production; that “people ought to eat two loaves of bread, where they now eat one;” “they ought to have two suits of clothes, where they now own but one;” and “every man should have two pairs of shees, where he now has but one” All this sounds very nice fora man who has a salary of $15,000 a year, and who has a pen- chant for making gold bug speeches for the Republican party. The rea son why a great many people don’t eat two loaves of bread is because they can’t get the bread without money. A great many people would like to have two suits of clothes, but they consider themselves fortunate if they can buy and pay for one when corn is going at 15 cents, oats at 10 cents and wheat at 50 cents Every man—and woman, too—would like to have two pairs of shoes, but when people are out of work, and farm products going fora song, itis no wonder that people in all parts of the country are compelled to be sat isfied with one pair,or go barefooted It is such narrow brained, bigoted Republicans like Stillwell, whese sou) wouldn't fill one corner of a mustard seed, who are driving their railway men up like droves of sheep and telling them “how” to vote for McKinley and “sound money.” Mr. Stillwell hasn't a soul big enough to be damned, either in this world or the world to come.—Clinton Dem- ocrat.
