AN EXCHANGE says that the cam-
naicn orator is now earning his bread
r
by the sweat of his tongue.
AN EXCHANGE remarks that silver
was not demonetized iu '73. but the '
truth is demonetized in 1896.
Official reports received from
twenty one countries show that the
coinage of silver during the year 1895
nmntnted to 8113.672.200. These are
big figures, and yet the decline of the
metal goes on steadily.
Speaker Reed is sorely disap
pointed because of the failure of Can
tiidat Bryan to visit Maine.
He was desirous of having an pper-
tunity of "showing up" the Nebraska
orator and his free silver fallacy in his
state.
IX A speech delivered in the house
July 13, 1876, Garfield said of the free
doctrine,'! never knew of any proposi
tion that contained s many elercens of
vast rascality, of colossal swindling,'
and it is far worse now than it was
then.
In TODAY'S paper is reproduced the
Bpeech of Tom Fitch, made before the
republican convention of Arizona, in
which he gives his reasons for remain
incr in the republican party. It is con
vincing argument and should be read
by everybody.
G. M. -Hitchcock of the World-
'"Herald now comes out with a letter
denying that W. J. Bryan had any
thing to do with that paper when it
was fighting free silver at the ratio of
16 to 1. It is feared that even this
great admission will not save Mr.
Bryan.
The people who lelt "drouth
. .. ... .
stricken" Nebraska and went to Ar
kansas are now sorry they did so. In
addition to a drouth, forest fires are
raging and many people have been
left entirely destitute as a result. Ne
braska comes as near being all right
ail the time as any state in the union,
anfl people ought to let well enough
alone.
Ross L. Hammond of the Fremont
Tribune was nominated for congress
by the republicans of the Third dis
trict at Columbus Thursday night. Mr.
iiammona is a popular men ana a
good republican, and if newspaper en-
-dorsements count for anything he will
surely be elected. There is a strong
populiBt vote in his district but
Judge Maxwell's extreme age will be
in Hammond's favor.
IN JULY, 1896, it was "a crown of
thorns and a cross ef gold;" in July,
1894, it was "the silver hook will be
about all there Is for democrats to
catch a vote upon." Which sentiment
do you prefer ? That of 1896 or that
of 1894 1 Or throw both aside and
choose "to o.pen up the mills of the
United States to the labor of America
rather than to open the mints of the
United States to the silver of the
world."
In Argentina a skilled workman
novr gets $60 a month where he got $40
before the depreciation of the cur
rency; but the money in which he Is
paid has fallen . 66 per cent, which
means a net loss to him of 16 per cent
The same object lesson is presented in
Columbia, where wages have in
creased 50 per cent, and the prices of
food and clothing have advanced ISO
percent. .These recent example! of
the effect of cheap money on the in
terests of wage-earners should be care
fully studied by the laborers of the
United States whoso votes are being
solicited for free silver. Gtobe Demo-

ceived no notification of it as yet and
he Is not certain about it. Billy Bryan
says "sh, sh" in a whisper 'to Windy

the moon, he tells his demo-populist
friends to keep still about it, as he
has all the nominations he wants al

To Tne partisans of the Hon. Wil
liam Jennings Bryan who point with
awe to his famous legislative achieve
ment of getting an elevator for the
Lincoln post office, an achievement
duly commemorated on the elevator
by a silver plate bearing the law
giver's name,the partisans of the Hon.
Tomtom Watson reply, with a just
pride in the great Georgian's fame.
"Look at the Watson dog law !" And
it is true that the Watson dog law
may stiU keep the name of its maker
green long after the Lincoln elevator
and the Bryan plate on it have
mouldered and crumbled.
SHOiTT.n Bpwnn b ftlocted and a law

passed for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, the government
wonld be relieved from making the
16 to 1 dollars worth more than their
bullion value. It would stand on its
own bottom. The owners ef the bnl-
lion could take U to the mints, have
it coinod into dollars, and when
turned over to them by tho govern
ment tha would end tho government's
part of the transaction. Under free
coin acre the government would buy no
silver. It would simply coin other
people's bullion for them, and would
give no guarantee of its parity with
gold. Gold would at once go out of
circulation and these cheap dollars
would pass at their bullion value and
the value would fluctuate daily at the
value of wheat, pork, beans, cabbage.
or any other commodity. This would
be, as inevitable as the law of gravita
tion. Seward Blade.
IN his oastern speeches Mr. Bryan
abuses the t..wspaper men without
limit and iutimates that they are a cor
rupt and dishonest generation, and that
the country wauld be much better off
without newspapers so that the man
with a great mouth would bo the only
dispenser of information and advice.
Considering the sort of newspaper
with which Mr. Bryan has for the past
year or two been associated, and for
which he has been nominally responsi
ble, perhaps he is justified to some ex
;it by his experience in revilling the
uress. His paper was certainly second
to none in the country for its unreli
ability, its facility of flopping for a
consideration, for its monumental
cheek as a fakir of news and its readi
ness to misrepresent men and things.
But the press generally can afford
smile at Mr. Bryan's poor opinion Cl
its merits and his suspicion of its integ
rity. It is natural for a demagogue to
believe that all men are as dishonest
as himself, and that principle is a
mere matter of barter for money or
office. State Journal.

'I suppose no one will question my long devotion to the cause of free silver

Hoke Smith's departure from the
pension department has up-to-date
caused no shedding of tears among the
old soldiers. He seemed to look with
suspicion upon every man who wore
the blue and never lost an opportunity
to cut down a pension or retard an un
fortunate in his efforts to obtain one.
The passing of Hoke causes but one
regret and that is that he did not re
sign three years ago.
Thomas B. Reed never covers up
his logic with an array of pompous
words. He goes after a proposition in
such a manner that "a fool though a
wayfaring man, mny understand." In
a recent speech he said: "This contest
is not between the east and the west.
There can be no such contest. Our
interests are identical. With their
growth comes our growth. We can
not go on alone. We have sent our
children there, our money istheie.
. . .
No misfortune can happen to them
that does not happen to us. We here
have full esteem for the pioneers of
tho west, and rejoice in their pros
perity. Every wise man agrees that
beyond the Missfssippi lies the great
wealth of the days to come. In
the developmet of this wealth we are
all interested, and wo, in the east are
not the unwise men to believe that we
ate not concerned in the progress of
tho west. Unfounded sectional differ
ences are witnout excuse, and it will
be woo to those who try to foment
them. The west is to vigorous not to
find out the truth and it is too valiant
not to follow it when found. All the
west needs is loanable capital, which
will develop its resources. No part of
the union is so concerned in restoring
confidence as the undeveloped terri
tory." Mcklnler Club to Be Organized
