Harvey, chairman of the executive committee of the Bimetallic league, whoso hga'liunr- ters are In Chicago, has procured the following reply to President Cleveland's letter to the Chicago business men: CHICAGO, April 15.

To His Excellency Grovcr Cleveland, President, Washington: DKAK 8111--In reply to your letter addressed to a committee of business men of this city, we wish to say that the committee that -waited on you and the persons who attached their names to the petition such committee presented did not represent a majority of the business men and citizens of this city who take a deep interest in the welfare of this republic. They represented that class that owns money and securities payable in money--fixed incomes. We respectfully submit that your letter does not present the trua merits of this controversy. Yon call the attention of farmers and wage earners to the fact that rising prices, while enabling them to sell their products and labor at a higher price, will also cause them to pay eouiilly more for what they may purchase, but you neglect to say that your statement is not applicable to debts. "With prices coming down regularly and steadily since the demonetization of silver; our merchants, manufacturers and the people generally have been doing business on a-'falling market, so that the tune intervening between the purchase of their merchandise or raw material and placing it months after on the market has removed the margin they would otherwise have made.

Thi-; shrinkage in values, added to tae ordinary risk and expense of business, has led to an ever increasing vo.ttme of debt--to a money lending period, until it has increased all told, public and private, to about or about two-thirds of the total value of the property in the United States, The owners of the products must now give up twice as much property to pay their taxes as in 1873. Seventeen thousand bushels ol wheat would have paid the president's salary of $25,000 in 1878 and it now requires 100,000 bushels of wheat to pay your annual salary "We have constantly pointed the people; to the ever-increasing interchangeable value 6: the creditor's dollar, and to the reason why it was increasing, but the influence of these cred Vtors have dominated your administration and you insist on such a currency as they have es tablished as a sound currency. It means the confiscation of the property of the people bj the sale of property under mortgages, ittdg ments and executions. It "means that fixed in conies will wipe out the interest of stocknold ers in our railroads and If it is an injustice to restore prices So that people can exchange their property for a sufficient number of dollars to pay their debts and bring happiness and prosperity to' our land again, it was a greater injustice to destroy the valtte of prpp rty and enhance the value of money by demonetization of silver and the establishment of a single gold standard. So that when you call the attention of the Pim.AUKi.niiA, April 10.

Kvi-nlng Bulletin. PHILADELPHIA. April Kveninc Bulletin suys: Mr.

Cleveland's letter i tend to forco a showing of hands in batli parties on the silver question. The bout stand which Mr. Cleveland has taken in calling for an immediate shaping of tin- lines of battle on the issue will deepen and widen the cleavage among both Demo crats and Republicans, and may possibly bring him to the front as a candidate in 96 for the Democratic nomination on an anti-silver platform. ling ton Standard. BOSTON, April Standard The president certainly does not lack the courage of his convictions and his convictions on the money question have usually- been consonant with what we believe to be the best interests of the whole people.

ON PERRY'S TRAIL. farmer and wage earner to the fact that rising prices will make him pay more for what he buys, you should at the same time call his attention to the fact that it will enable him to pay his debts, free him from a bondage in which he has been unjustly placed and again make lim the owner of and a free and independent citizeti. We agree with you that-it is time for the people to reason together, and to that end we respectfully ak that yon make it possible for them to gut printed copies ot the act of 1792 on which our forefathers based onr financial system and all subsequent acts, together with the act of 1873, that reversed the former policy and acts subsequent thereto, as well as all statistical and other information of an equal nature at "Washington that bears thereon.

Springfield Union. SPBCTGFIELD, April 16. The Union this morning says regarding President Cleveland's letter to the Chicago business men: This does not mean that he is a gold monometallism nor that he regards gold as the only safe currency. He advocates a campaign of education against the free coinage propaganda and presents some of the arguments which he thinks would be effective. Beyond this he makes no suggestion, but it seems to us that he might have aided a good cause if he had expressed his sympathy with the movement for International bimetallism which, to many of the foremost economists of this country and Europe, promises a more stable foundation for sound money than a gold standard.

Rochester Herald. ROCHESTER, April Rochester Herald today in a column editorial on President Cleveland's letter to the business men of Chicago says in part: The president's letter is certain to stimulate public discussion of all features of this important Mibject. The sound money men do not fe discussion. Enlightening controversy is to be dreaded only by the element that appeals with brazen sophistry to those who have given the question no study. Both political parties are threatened by the present activity of the silver demagogues.

President Cleveland's letter a timely cue to all friends and defenders of a sound currency whether they be Democrats or York AdTrrt.Uwr. NFW April Advc today says editorially: Mr. Cleveland's Inter on finance is a thoroughly characU'ristic document. It is hazy in its ideas, platitudinous in its phraseology and marked in every para- gragh by that of pompous superiority which the president invariably adopts when speaking to his fellow countrymen. Through the moss of its involved verbiage the fact, thai Mr.

Cleveland condemns tree silver coinai-c is dim discernible. Intelligent public p.7iioiiwill uphold the president in opposing the dfgradniion of our currency by i to the unlimited coinage oi silver at the present rate. Capture of Convict Daris Yesterdaj to Valuable Clues. POUGHKEEPSIE. N.

April capture of Convict Frank Davis at Hughsonville brought out information showing that Perry is in all probability still in the locality of the asylum. Before Davis was caught he was seen in the company of a strange man whose appearance indicates that he was Perry. Superintendent Allison has all of his available force on this trail, and they, with a large number of "Wappingers Falls and Hughsonville people, are scouring the jountry in all directions round about for the fugitive. The report that Perry had been seen to pass through Schenectady on Sunday was exploded by Attendant James Coyle, who captured O'Donnell and McGuire on Sunday, and whom Dr. Allison sent to Schenectady to follow the report.

Coyle wired the superintendent that he had traced every clue, but found that the $tories have been greatly exaggerated, and Perry, he was sure, had not not gone that way. He was directed to return to Poughkeepsie and work the country south of Hughsonville and Wappingers Falls. As soon as Dr. Allison learned that another man had been seen Vrith Davis ho Was impressed with the belief that it was Perry and at once devoted all of his ef- orts in the direction of Hughsonville. The police of the surrounding towns were given the important clue, and Dr.

Allison says he will not be surprised if Perry is captured before many hours.
