or. a uiinon uonar congress.
1 II . i
It was a republican congress which
(clandestinely) demonetized silver.
KiTHERof the big lbs island, Hides
or Ilryan wouhl be acceptable as can
didates on the democratic ticket. lSut
niether of the others would go into the
campaign with a vigor and earnest ix -
equal to Mr. Ilryan.
.Say, liro. Polk, isn't it about time
for you to come down off the perch and
frankly admit that yon were mistaken
when you stated so repeatedly that the
"silver craze' was dead? Why, even
the republicans of Michigan are so in
fected with it that they defeated a
goldbug resolution and voted for a 1(5
to 1 plank. The fact is the movement
has got beyond a "craze," it has be
come an epidemic. It will sweep the
country like a prairie fire this fall.
Iwa democrats are falling into
line for free coinage and Horace lioies.
Thus far the proportion of delegitp
elected to the state convention is about
three to one in favor of the white
metal. The men elected only need see
that no Michigan business shall pie
vail, and there is no fear of thv result.
Iu some counties the goldites aie so
fearful of the people that they have
called mass conventions at the county
seats, hopiDg thus to win, but it's no
use.
Tiik merchants and business men of
Omaha have induced Gen. Mandeion
to go to Washington to work on Tern
Heed for the Trans-Mississippi ex
position appropriation. That's right.
It's all right to put Thurston for waul
a3 a political boss, but when business
is wanted Manderson is the man to
get it done. Thurston is too busy
blowing his own horn (via McKinley)
to do any good for Nebraska. He
couldn't move Tom Heed a hair in a
thousand years.
Tin: democrats of Council JJIuffs at
their primaries the other day decided
by a majority of abput Id to 1 in favor
of free silver. Yet, strange to say, the
(ilobe, which is usually a leader of the
patty, has net a word to say on either
side of the controversy. This is lament
ably undemocratic. The democrats of
that city ought to have a newspaper
which is not bound to the corpse of
Koldocracy so that it dare not speak
out in advocacy of their cause. They
have no use for a barnacle like the
(Jlobe.
Tnr: repulican state conventions in
the eastern states have declared for
the gold standard and a high tariff.
That means a decrease in that which
the farmer has to sell, and an increase
in the price of that which he buys.
Yet republicans have the audacity to
declare that only through the republi
can party can universal prosperity be
obtained. A farmer who will vote the
republican ticket, or any ticket favor
ing high tariff and gold standard is
either blinded by prejudice or hope
lessly dense. Madison lieporter.
The eastern bankers are fond of
contending that their business would
suffer least by the change from the
single to the double standard, but that
they are so much interested in the
welfare of the laboring man that they
don't want to see it done. Isn't it
strange that these Shylccks, who live
off the sweat of labor's face, should as
sume to know better than labor it
self what its best interests are ? For
bankers to turn philanthropists is al
most equal to Satan turning Christian
Every labor union in America has de
clared for free coinage. Almost all
the bankers are against it. It don't
take a very wise man to tell why this
is so.
The gold standard people are not
in favor of "honestv money after all.
They favor circulating a silver dollar
which, they say, is only worth SO cent3
and is only kept at par by the action of
the government. Honest money is
that which stands on its own bottom;
which needs no prop to keep it at par.
An honest dollar cannot be contracted
against. Gold coin is not honest
money, because it varies in its purchas
ing power. Dun's reports of last week
showed that the general average of
prices was lower the week before than
ever was known in modern history. In
other words, a dollar could buy more
j than ever before, and was, therefore,
dearer. The world' doesn't want that
kind of dollar.--. It will destroy civil
ization it it is made the. sole standard.
Tub gold standard people are al
ways declaring that government can
not create value by law, which m.'iy be
literally true, and still leave them on
the defensive. (lovernment can fix a
price for silver at the mint, and with a
demand only limited by the supply can
create a maiket which will he inv;u i
able. It can mint full legal tender
silver dollars from :Y7 grains of the
I pure metal and that will t'x the price
of the bullion, just, as the miut priee t
cold ixes the i c?1 ! tn.it

A SP.N)M naval court martial has
convicted and condemn tl to death the
five young Americans captured on the
chooner Competitor, on the Cuban
coast some days ago. This is a goou
time of President Cleveland to inter
cede to save their livts. Should they
be executed the American people
should speak out so loudly ugalnst t Id-
atrocity that even the stolid agent of
Wall street in the white house could
hardly fail to feel its force. I'm er
the laws of war and the custom of
civilization" these men could not be
punished save as prisoners of war. It
is said that if they are not executed
Wejlcr, the blocdy butcher now in
command in Cuba, threatens toiesign.

Mu. McKixlky is trying to straddle
the money question. The Ohio plank,
which it is said he wrote, like the Min
neapolis plank, can be read to mean
one thing or the other, and really
means nothing. Senator Stewart has
written him two letters, asking him to
define his position, but ho has replied
to niether. I)oc3 he think his patty
can fool the people as it did four years
ago, so that gold men and bimetallisms
can stand on tho samo platform? It
pays to be honest and candid, Mr. .Mc
Kinley. Does anybody suppose that
either of the democrats who are talked
of for the presidency Bland, Boies or
Bryan would tako a stand like that'.
No; they will bo for honest money -of
both metals, without an if or an and.
Somebody will be deceived if he don't
define himself.
McKinley is said to be very much
like Napoleon. Hut Napoleon had his
Waterloo, and it will not bo dillicult
for the democrats to find a Welling
ton to prick McKinley a protect ion bubble.
