Washington March 30 Navy de-
partment olllcials say that armor for
our warships cannot bo bought for
$300 a ton tho limit set by tho last
congross. A statement ruadu boforo
tho houso naval committee shows con-
clusively that it could bu if there was
not an armor trust formed to blood
tho irovcrnmont
Ono of tho membors of this trust
sold Russia threo hundred tons of tliih
same armor lor S'-MU a ion. ii was
claimed by a representative of this
company that SIO.OOO was lost on tho
order for tho purpose of introducing
their armor in Huropo. This claim
was a diroet admission that armor
only cost 825G a ton yot tho trust got
tho prico fixed at 650 a ton in tho bill
as first passed by congress That is
sort of business that makes ricli trusts
and disgusts those who boliovo in old
fashioned honost dealing with the
irnvernmont as well as individuals.
II thO trust can mauo an unuur iur
82S3 a ton which its agents soy it
can. it can certainly afford to soil it
to tho government for 8300 a ton but
of course that is no reason that it
will. It will probably prefer making
the next congress raise tho price and
tho next congress bolng Republican
iri both branchos. will probably be
easier to control than the last was.

be about $2300 Geo. K. Itilllugsley

(luthrio:
Duar Sir In reading the proceed
lng of tho Democratic convention
hold at the court room on Saturday
nlitht. 1 see that iv resolution waa
pawed which allowed only those to
participate and go upon the ticket who
ha- voted fcr W. J. llryan and stood
ot e free stiver platform adopted by
t) national Democratic convention
hi n Chicago in 1HU0.
1 j further that immediately after
the adoption of this resolution that
Mr r runic Olamitti declined the noun
nation for mayor and that Mr. W II
Coy Is 'was unaiiimoiisiy selected as
the nominee of the convention."
Now I am a free silver IJemocrul of
the deepest dye and ub a rule I am
not critical or captious but 1 would
like for you to answer a few ques-
tions via:
1. la W. II. Coyle a Democrat?
3. Is he a free sliver Democrat"
3. Did he stand ou the free silver
platform of WI?
4. Is it not true that iu all bin ut
terancos or conversations he advocated
tho gold stundard idea'.'
r. Is it not true that while Mr
llryuu was the guest of (luthrin he put
foolish questions to the bimetallic
uliuiiplon and contended with him in
a feeble way from the standi ouit of a
gold stundard man?
a. Is It not true that Mr Coyle fa
vora trusts?
From my point of view it la not
right that mattera of this kind should
figure In municipal affairs but If Mr
Coyle accept the nomination of the
Democrats he inuat answer these
(jueatlona before be han a rightful
nluoe at tne neua oi me m-ioocrunc

Iu regard to municipal matters I
want to uek Mr. Coyle tluoiigh you
some questions winch will . ut a tig
ure in thia campaign vu
