MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1898. BUfIY IT OUT OF SIGHT. The Advice Given the Voters of the United States by Archbishop Ireland Regarding the Free Silver Agitation. WE CANNOT GO ALONE AT \6 TO 1. The Boast That We Can Force England to Our Standard, or Send Silver to $1.29 an Ounce, Is Here Nonsense. THE LABORER AND FARMER DELUDED. Free Silver Would Bring Ruin, and One Would Be Penniless, While the Other Could Not Sell His Harvests. DOCTRINE OF SECESSION UPPERMOST. Men Are Igniting Torches Which May Light Up the Country With The Lurid Fires of the Commune. A few days ago the letter given be- low was addressed to Archbishop Ire- land, asking for counsel in the cam- paign now being waged. The answer is that of a patriot in a national crisis. The archbishop warmly opposes the ticket placed In nomination at Chicago and vigorously attacks the platform upon which it stands. Of paramount importance he makes the plank attack- ing the supreme court of the United States and the power of the president to send troops in defense of national property in the various states of the union. He sees In the shibboleths of the platform dangerous ear-marks of socialism and warns adherents of the Bryan cause that "they are lighting torches which, borne in the hands of reckless men, may light up in the coun- try the lurid fires of a commune." The Populist war cry that this country can coin silver at 16 to 1, force other na- tions to do likewise and send the price of silver up to $1-29 an ounce he char- acterizes as "mere nonsense." Speak- ing of the hard times and the part which the silver agitation has in pro- ducing them, he says: "If the Ameri- can people put down by an overwhelm- ing majority this agitation— bury it out of sight— one chief cause of hard times will be out of the way." The correspondence in full is as follows: LETTEiR TO THE ARCHBISHOP. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 29, 1896.— Archbishop John Ireland— Most Reverend Sir: Your voice has often been raised to inculcate the duUes of patriotism. Your example has served to illustrate this highest of civil virtues in the earnest interest you have taken in Important public affairs. A crisis is now impending In the issues involved In the pending presiden- tial election, in which your fellow citizens, without distinction of religious faith or politi- cal party, look confidently to you for counsel inspired by a sense of patriotic duty above all transitory party claims or Interests. An eminent Catholic dignitary, Archbishop Walsh. In a pamphlet of world-wide circula- tion, in advocacy of international bimetallism, has shown that the profoundest social and tion ef the constitution of the United States and a crime against free Institutions, and we especially object to government by Injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of op* pression by which federal judges, in con- S°J *f IaW \ of tbe United States and rights of citizens, become at once legislators judges and executioners." ' Referring to the decision of the supreme court in the income tax cases, the platform "We declare that it is the duty of congress to use all the constitutional power which re- mains after that decision, or which may come from its reversal by the court as it may here- after be constituted, so that the burdens* of taxation may be equally and impartially laid to the end that wealth may bear Its due pro- portion of the expense of the government"— this language clearly Implying a purpose to reconstitute the court by congressional legis- lation so as to make it the subservient instru- ment of the party in power. These declarations seem to the undersigned opposed to those fundamental principle's of righteous, safe and orderly government on which heretofore all political parties have been at one since the birth of tbe republic. For the first time in American history, these Issues, which reach down to the foundations of civil society and public morality, divide the country. They involve not only the most mo- mentous economic problems, but the gravest questions of morals and public duty. Upon their right settlement depends, as we think, the weal or woe of the American people, per- haps for generations to come. Upon these grounds and on these issues, so big with serious consequences, the undersigned re- spectfully invite you to make known your views (In the manner, and at the time that you may judge proper).

Gordon, Dawson, Warner, etc.— Gentlemen: I am not unwilling, In the crisis through which the country is now passing, to speak for the integrity of the nation, for social order, for the prosperity of the people, for the honor of America, and the perman- ency of free institutions. I am a citizen of the country, concerned in all the interests of the nation, subject to all the responsibilities of citizenship. To be silent, when words of mine may be of some profit to the people, would be cowardice, would be crime. I am not unmindful of the objection made against the churchman speaking at any time ARCHBISHOP IRELAND. economic questions which concern the wel- fare of mankind may well engage the atten- tion of those who are charged with the care of souls. Rejecting the broad basis of inter- national agreement on which the Irish prelate has made his plea for bimetallism, a portion of bar countrymen have perverted his argu- ments to the support of a policy which looks to the debasement of our currency, the re- pudiation of our obligations and the monetary isolation of our country from the commercial world. Using the name of a great political party, of whose organization they have ob- tained control, they have put forth a platform which embodies the following declarations: "We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. We demand that the standard silver dollar shall be a fulKlegal tender, equally with gold, for all debts, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for -the future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. "We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the holders of the obliga- tions of the United States the option reserved by law to the government of redeeming such obligations in either silver coin or gold coin. "We denounce arbitrary interference by federal authorities in local affairs as a viola- on matters which have entered the arena of politics, lest his influence as a teacher of re- ligion seem to be used to promote the inter- ests of a political party. I might reply that there are occasions when a political platform means disaster to the country, when pollt'cs are closely connected with morals or re- ligion, and that on those occasions the church- man must be the patriot, without allowing a moment's thought to considerations of ex- pediency, and must take in hand the moral or rehglous issue, even if it be vested in the garment of politics. But in the present in- stance I seek no excuse of this kind. I speak entirely as the citizen, without warrant from my ecclesiastical position. Deep as my own convictions are, I hold in all due respect my fellow citizens who hold convictions at variance with my own I im- peach neither their good faith, nor their hon- or. I am dealing not with men, b^with prin- ciples and movements. This ju#ice which I render to those whose ideas I.7am ready to combat, I am sure they will raider to me. I STAND BY THE PLATFORM and the presidential candidate of the Repub- lican convention at St Louis. I am opposed to the platform* and the presidential candidate of the Democratic convention at Chicago. The days of the civil war excepted, at no time did so great peril threaten the country as that which is involved in the political campaign of today. The question of free and unlimited coinage of silver Is put In the foreground. This question had its importance; but it Is of a minor Importance, in present of other ques- tions which are brought into issue. The movement which had its expression In the Chicago convention and which now seeks by means of popular suffrage to enthrone itself in the capital of this nation, is in Its logical effect rebellion against the United States; it is secession; the secession of 1861, which our soldiers beleived they had con- signed to eternal death at Appomatox, but which demands again recognition from the American people. The declaration of the Chi- cago platform has, and can have, no other meaning: "We denounce arbitrary Interfer- ence by federal authorities in local affairs as a violuation of the constitution of the United States and a crime against free institutions." The words point to the act of Grover Cleve- land, sending United States troops to pro- tect national property and enforce national laws during the Chicago riots in 1594. In tbose words there is the old secession doctrine that states are Independent of the national government at Washington; there is the an- nulment of the Union; there Is notice served upon the flag of America, that outside the District of Columbia It Is without power of self-assertion or self-defense. The pres- ident of the United States Is told that to enforce national laws and pro- tect property he cannot -march his troops into any state without the authority of the governor of that state. One of the chief speakers at the convention of Chicago under- stood the significance of the convention, and voiced its spirit. "I came from a state which was the home of secession." said Senator Tillman, of South Carolina. 'I say," he con- tinued, "It Is a sectional issue, and it will prevail." And fitting was it that the speaker voicing the spirit of the Chicago conven- tion should be the representative of South Carolina. Thrice, now, has South Carolina spoken .for secession— when it passed in 1832 the nullification ordinance, when in 1861 It fired upon Fort Sumter, when in 1896, It cries out: "It is a sectional issue, and it will prevail." The platform of the Chicago convention threatens the country with destruction of so- cial order, with LAWLESSNESS AND ANARCHY. The personification of law and of social order in America Is our courts — and the promise of safety to our free Institutions la the prompt obedience of the people to those courts. And now the courts are to be shorn of their power — and shorn of it In favor of mobs, bent on rioting and the destruction of property. "We especially object," says the Chicago platform, "to government by in- junction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppression." Here reference is made to the action of the courts during the Chicago riots—without which action there Is no cal- culating how much ruin would have come to the city. The palladium of American liber- ties is the supreme court at Washington — the counterpart of which In majesty and in power to enforce absolute justice does not exist among the nations of Christendom. Put, as far as it is possible to human in- genuity, outside of partisan politics, inde- pendent of all political influences through their life tenure of office, the judges of this court rule congress and president, states and nation, and expound the law in all its in- flexibility, no matter who or what must yield to it. And now a convention speaks of the supreme court "«a - it may be hereafter constituted," intimating unmistakably the intention, if the party rep- resented in that convention come to power, the intention to constitute the courts, by the popular election of the judges, by the short- ening of their term of office, or otherwise, as to ti. ike it insensible to th« stern voice of the law, and responsive to the passing whims of political parties. Worse to my mind than all this Is the spirit of socialism that permeates the whole movement which has issued from the conven- tion of Chicago. It is the "International" of Europe, now talcing body in America. Of this one cannot but be convinced, when the movement is closely observed, the shibboleths of its adherents listened to, the discourses of its orators carefully examined. The war of class against class is upon us, the war of the proletariat against the property holder. No other meaning than this can be given to the appeals to "the common people," "to the laborer," "to the poor and down-trodden," and to the denunciations against "pluto- crats" and "corporations," and "money-grab- bers," and "bankers." Many of the adher- ents of the movement do not perceive Its full meaning; but let them, beware. They are lighting torches which, borne in the hands of reckless men, may lightup in the country the lurid fires of a "commune." America, heretofore, has been free from socialistic ha- tred and warfare; and it has been a country of opportunities for all men, and It has given to the laborer a livelihood higher and better than is afforded hinf In any other country of the world. Is this all to be changed? Is social chaos, gloating over ruins, to be the method of social elevation of the masses. There may be room In some things for peace- ful amelioration through a well-informed public opinion and orderly legislation; but class hatred and angry passion never lead to aught but general misery and suffering. The people of America must today look warily around, guard against catchwords and mis- leading war cries, avoid giving any counte- nance to socialistic or anarchistic tendencies, and know that the first condition of pros- perity to any and all classes of the people is a peaceful commonwealth and assured so- cial order. The monetary question la, Indeed, a sec- ondary issue In the campaign. I have, how- ever, my convictions in this matter. The free and unlimited coinage of silver dollars, at the ratio of 16 to 1, by the United States, independently of the great commercial na- tions, into dollars which shall be made legal tender, will disturb the whole business of the country, and bring upon i| a financial depression far beyond anything which we are now experiencing. I am confronted with the pamphlet of Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin, on bimetallism, as a reply to my objection to the silver reso- lution of the Chicago convention. The pamphlet of Archbishop Walsh has no bear- ing whatever on the situation in America. The archbishop discusses bimetallism vs. monometallism — and that only from one point of view, the effect of monometallism upon farmers' contracts under the land purchase act in Ireland. He expresses no opinion as to the ratio in which silver is to be coined, and he manifestly presupposes that bimetal- lism would be brought about under an inter- national agreement. He explains that India was unable to keep up a silver currency, in- dependently of European nations. "It was impossible for India to obtain the loans that are absolutely necessary for the development of the country," and the reason was "the fluctuation in the relative value of the ru- pee." "It is the silver currency of China," ho adds, "that stops the making of railways in that country." Walsh's pamphlet is throughout a solid argument against the Chicago platform. To what he'says we might add that France and all the countries of the Latin union together were ultimately com- pelled to give up bincetallism so long as other countries of Europe would not co-operate with them. The question before the people of America today Is the coinage of sliver by this country, Independently of the great commercial na- tions of the world, at the ratio of 16 to 1. This ratio Is the double of the present com- mercial value of silver. The consequences of unlimited coinage In these circumstances are easily perceived. The one hope of the silver party is "that under free coinage we will raise the value of silver to $1.29 an ounce, measured in gold." On what authority Is this said? On that of the mere men who make the assertion. The experience of our own country contradicts the assertion. The purchasing of $50,000,000 worth of silver bullion per year under the Sherman act was not able to prevent the fall in the value of silver from over a dollar an ounce to Its present low value. The experience of France contradicts the' assertion; France, with all the countries ot ihe Lation union had to give up the coinage of silver, lest, overloaded with the silver of the world, It should lose all Its gold. Common sense is against the assertion. SiWer is now produced in such quantities at sucTi small expense of production that its value' cannot be kept up to its former standard. And" is the whole business of America to be Imperiled by a leap Into an experiment, which those very men who advocate it confess Ito be only an experiment, and which experience and com- mon sense condemn? The boast that the United States is able all alone to whip England and the rest of the world Into the eoli.a^e of silver at 16 to 1, or to force the value of silver; up to $1.29 an ounce. Is mere nonsense. We are a great peo- ple, indeed; but we are not yet grown to the commercial strength that oar country means the commercial world. Our national pride may give us extraordinary dreams of our importance; but it will not do to build the business of the country upon those dreams. Would all the commercial cations together coining silver at 16 to 1 bring up the value of silver bullion to $1.29 per .ounce? Perhaps. Strong commercial reasons suggest the con- trary. Would America alone tiring silver lo $1.29? Assuredly not; although, of course, the new demand for silver from the mints would give some increase to its value, which increase, however, might again be offset by an increase of production. Some imagine that the ratio of silver to gold was always 16 to 1 or thereabout The ratio was constantly changing throughout historic times. At one time silver was more valuable than gold. At the time of the dis- covery of America, silver was ten times less valuable than gold; two hundred years before It had been eight times less valuable. The ratio is constantly changing, and the ques- tlon for, us today is not wh§U the ratio was Continued en Fourth Page. "WE 5068E8 THE BJUK."

Special to the Globe. LAKE MILLS, Oct. 11.— There is no longer the shadow of a doubt that the man under arrest here, charged with participation In the Sherburne robbery, Is the guilty party. This evening, with head lowered In shame and disgrace, he confessed one of the most heinous crimes ever committed. A confession is the life-giving element to the inno- THE DEAD BANK) ROBBER. Photograph Taken at Elmore After Death/ cent suspect, yet what a trial for one who can give only statements which he certainly knows will be the Instruments which will cause his untimely end. The man's iron nerve has given way at last. His strength of will has lowered by the simple truth of a death, not those he had caused, but the death of his partner, who was no other than his brother, al- though he knew of the capture of his brother last night. Marshal Ruby guarded the prisoner in his own house last night, and by being kind to the young man and by gradually feeling his way In the conversation, the mar- shal turned by degrees the conversa- tion to the Sherburne affair until the opportune moment arrived to inform his prisoner that his partner was killed. The prisoner sat still, with his head be- tween his hands, for several minutes. Finally he looked up and said in low tones: "Imight as well make a clean breast of it all. The fellow that was killed was my brother. We robbed the bank at Sherburne, but I am not guilty of killing either of the men. It was agreed that we were not to shoot. My brother came to our house where I was staying with my parents, and asked me to help him rob the bank. I finally consented, and went there several days before, remaining In the neighbor- hood. We fixed up Wednesday as the day, and about 9 o'clock in the morning we rode towards the town and re- mained on the outside streets some time, and when the coast was clear went to the bank. Then there were two men behind the counter of the bank. I first ordered the banker to throw up his hands. Just at that mo- ment MY BROTHER FIRED, and I said, 'Come, let us get out of this,' and jumped to the window. He said, 'Attend to your business,' and so I went to the money drawer and took out the money, about $700 in one bunch, which I put in a sack. We then cut a screen to a back window and left town en our bikes. Just as we got on our bikes I showed the other fellow the THE SAINT PAUL GLOBEr money and he put it in his bicycle bag. We separated about two and a half or three miles out of Sherburne. My brother, being the best rider, made south for the state line, and I took a southwesterly direction until I got south of Jackson and then I struck out south towards the Dcs Moines river, across the country towards Forest City, then to Lake Mills. I had a pretty hard time getting through the state." The prisoner uses the term 'the other fellow,' while in other places he calls him his brother. Marshal Ruby said tLat he used these expressions about as they appear above. He refuses to make any further statements and re- fuses to give his correct name, as he does not want his folks to know any- thing about it. Early In the day the prisoner had made statements repeatedly contradict- ing himself, first giving his name as McMullen and claiming to reside at Sioux City, 10., but upon request to wire to his friends at that point for assistance, he came out point blank stating he had lied as to the place of bis residence, and refused to give any further information. About 2:30 p. m. Mr. Ballard, of Fairmont, Minn., ac- companied by two other men from Minnesota, arrived for the purpose of identifying the captured man. Mr. Bal- lard had been in the bank not over three minutes before the murder, and was one of the first to get a glimpse of the men as they left on their wheels. No doubt but that McMullen had made a good inspection of Mr. Ballard, for when McMullen was confronted by Mr. Ballard this afternoon for the purpose or identification his fingers moved and his face flushed for the first time since his capture, and he acted as if he was getting into an uncomfortable position. Excitement runs high in every manner about the town and the officers are guarding their prisoner with great pre- caution. Mr. Ballard and others are positive that he is the right man. The man McMullen, with many aliases, has consented to go to Minnesota without requisition papers, in charge of Mar- shal A. F. Ruby, and the three men from Fairmont, who will take the 4:19 train here in the morning over the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad to Albert Lea, then via Chicago, Milwau- kee & St. Paul railroad to Blue Earth City, where he will be lodged In jail. The officers think this the wisest course owing to the fact that the country around Fairmont, as well as Sher- burne, is wild and excited over hij capture and they feel satisfied he would certainly meet with death at the hands of the enraged citizens. FUNERALS AT SHERBURNE. Morbid Throng; Visit* the Scene of j the Bank Robbery. Special to* the Globe. SHERBURNE, Minn.. Oct. 11.—Today has been one of funerals in Sherburne I as well as one affording an oppor- \u25a0 tunlty for the residents of the sur- rounding 1 towns to look at the scene of Wednesday's robbery and the body of the dead robber. Several hundred from adjoining counties came m dur- ing the day and gazed curiously at the bank where the tragedy occurred The robber was burled this morning at 11, or at least the remains were taken to the cemetery at the south j side of town and interred in the pot- i ter's field. The grave was not filled j in, however, and the coffin was fre- quently opened during the day for f purposes of identification. When the j coffin had been lowered In its rough i pine box, Rev. J. J.

Services for the dead cashier, George Thorburn, I were held at the Congregational' i church this afternoon. The local I lodge of " Odd Fellows turned out in I force and escorted the body from the residence of Mrs. McArthur, Thor- j burn's sister, to the church and therce to the depot, whence the remains will be shipped tomorrow to Montreal. At the church there were Impressive ser- vices, Rev. C. E. Walker and a male sextette participating. Mr. Walker spoke feelingly, being Intimately ac- quainted with the dead man. There has been a good deal of speculation here today concerning the man under arrest at Lake Mills, 10., but nothing can be learned locally. It is now sup- posed that the name of the dead rob- ber is Lake or Lacy, the supposition being based upon the markings found on his clothing.

SEVERE SHOCK TO til,U)VrOi«K, At jlVfio.sc Housei the Noted l'rclni« Wa* a Uueist — Sad Service* Throughout Enfflund LONDON, Oct. ll.— The archbishop of Canterbury was seized with apo- plexy after the service commenced at Hawarden church this morning. He was carried to the Hawarden rector} where he died at 11:30 o'clock. Rev. Archibald Farrar, dean of Can- terbury, received a telegram from Stephen Gladstone, rector of Haward- en church, stating that the archbishop of Canterbury passed away peaceful ly and suddenly at 11:15 o'clock. He had attended the early communion. Dean Farrar, in preaching in the cathedral this evening, referred to his forty-five years' intimacy with the deceased pre- late. The archbishop of Canterbury ar- rived at Hawarden Saturday evening on his return from a visit in the north of Ireland. He appeared then to be in robust health, and expressed to Mrs. Gladstone his great gratification over his Irish tour. He arose early Sun- day, and attended the early commu- nion with his wife and other*. The weather was bitterly cold, and Mr. Gladstone did not attend the church, but at 10 o'clock the archbishop and Mrs. Benson, Henry Gladstone, Mrs. Gladstone, Mrs. Drew and Dorothy Drew went to the morning services. The whole party occupied the Glad- stone pew near the chancel. Directly the service began, and while the rector, Rev. Stephen Gladstone, was reading the absolution, Archbis- hop Benson, who was kneeling, was seen to twitch in the arm for a few minutes, and then he collapsed alto- gether. Henry Gladstone, finding that th* archbishop had had a dangerous seiz- ure, called to the clerk and others, who carried him into the library adjoining the rectory. Doctwrs were hastily sum- moned. The stricken prelate was gasping painfully for breath. Applica- tions of ether and other means to in- duce artificial respiration were resort- ed to. Mr. Gladstone, the rector, whi had left the church when the arch- bishop was carried out, returned and announced the illness to the congrega- tion, wno were waiting in painful suspense. He asked for their prayers during the litany. All efforts to rally the distinguished patient proved vain, and he died in a few minutes. Henry Gladstone whispered the news to (!).- rector, who announced the archbis- hop's death, the news causing a pro- found sensation amongst the worship- pers in the church. The hymn "For- ever With the Dord" was sung, an<l the dead march was played, all present standing and showing themselves to be deeply afflicted. Mrs. Gladstone conveyed the sad news to her husband, who was greatly shocked and distressed by it. After- wards remarking on the event, Mr. Gladstone said: "HE DIED LIKE A SODDIEK." The official medical announcement of the death to the coroner stated that it was due to apoplexy. The medical attendants concur in the opinion that heart failure caused the death, but that this was directly due to the seiz- ure. Mrs. Benson was present at the time of her husband's death, and she after- wards went to Hawarden Castle. Th* bells were toiled and references made to the death of the primate of all Eng- land in many of the churches In the kingdom tonight. The Most Key. Edward White Benson. D.8., archbishop of Canterbury, primate of all England, and Metropolitan, son of Edward White Benson Esq., of Birmingham Heath and formerly of York, was born near Bir- mingham in 1829.
