The Iowa attite convention mt the fol lowln'atateinent Into their platform: "Tho monetary standard ot thlacoun try find the commercial world ia gold." Heimtor Allieon wrota that, but the statement I f'tlae nnd bn kuewHt wna fulae when he wrote It. The monetary stniidiird of thla country la not gold. A gold etiiiidnrd country ia two in which gold la t ha only legnl tender. In tbia country there nre 1102,000,000 oleilver and :i 10,000,000 of greenbacks which nre it fu'l legal tender lor nil private debts. We nre not alllilii ft thoiiennd milea ol 11 gold etnndii'd, and tool Hen 'ator Allison knew that wn were not Is proven by the words that follow the above statement In the Iowa piriform. They are very significant: Henafor Al lison sm.vs: "The perniancy ol this stnnd nnl iniitti lie secured by congresslonnl legislnllon, giving to It the vulidlty and vitality of public law." 1 tlioe words mean anything, they mean that the gold stundard has no 'validity" In law and no "vitality" i x cept that to be henmflcr secured by law, What Is the nature of this law that Hen ator Allison wants? What will give the gold standard "validity"? What will give It "vitality?" Nothing will dolt except a law that will make silver dol lars und all other forms of money dccmahle in gold on demand. That means a further contraction of I h legal tender money of this country of at least f 102,000,000. That Is the goal aimed nt by the republican party, Hen n tor Al lison secured bla sent In the United Htates Henata by falsely pretending that ha was a blmetiilllst and has for twenty five years kept it by deception. Now lie attempts another deception. A NKW VKI.I.OW JOl llMAI,, According to the highest authority In t ha republican party of th-i state of Ne-bno-ka, Henator Mason ol Illinois has turned Into a "yellow journal," In a recent Interview in speaking ol the treat ment of our private soldiers he says: "Hliaiin ful, dilgrnra fnl, Infernal, damn able there Is no word too strong to use, not alone against the official neglect and blundering, but also against the railroads. This is the crime of the cen tury, the tragedy of the nation. Our soldiers have not pourrd out their blood on the altar of their country, but have been crucified by blundering and plun dering officialdom," If another citizen of Illinois, by the name of Allgeld bad made those remarks, what would have happened then? Ohl what? It Is fright ful to contemplate the result.. A MISAI'I'HILIIKMNION, One ol the most common misappre hension Is that If we have money all of which has the same purchasing power of gold, then we have the gold standard. Nothing could be fart her from the truth. The government could tomorrow issue Ave hundred millions of paper money and by making It a full legal tender, every dollar of it would remain at a par. ity in purchaelng power with gold. Hut that would not be a gold standard. There is not a gold standard country in the whole world except (Ireat Uritaln and she hardly lilla bill. The object of the republican party is to cMiiIiIinIi the gold standard. It means greater differing than the world ever knew. Hut if It Is continued lu power it will surely do it. WAI T M,ON TAKKN IN.

The commercial n ports of immense volemns of hmdueae being transacted are frauds of th first water. It Is not business at all that they nre talking about unless gambling Is to be consid ered a regular business. Home billows go on the board of trade and buy a mil lion dollars worth of securities. 'Then they circulate soma lie" a bout this or that company and thesecurities rise or fall an eighth of a cent and they sell out. That is nn Increase of I wo million dollars lu limine according to Hun and Hrad- strei t. That is what the grdd bug call prosperity, When it comes to actual biilness In buying and selling commo dities there Is no Incrensu but a falling off, Prices ura nil tha time falling, and there is no such thing as prosperity with continually falling prices. In Dunn's re port of Heptember 1 1 th the following ap peals; "No doubt some farmers have learned that it Is poor business to hold back for higher prices, yet many lire doing it and so nre making inevitable a more disas trous decline in prices after a time," In other place he says; "The prices de manded ut the west cannot be main tained," Hun is trying to break it gently to the farmer for fear they will all leave the republican parly and join the "pops," When t his year's crops get fairly on the way to market and wheat Is 40 cents and corn 1H, the most of them will join t he "pops," The sensible ones have already. KX I'flll T A N III M I'll It T I't'ZZI.K, An old friend writes to inquire about exports and imports and says: I "Don't understand the thing at all. Hornet lines I am Inclined to think that the figures sent out by tba treasury department are all Ilea. Now here is the last statement, said to be the olflcial figure of the ex ports of the United Htatea to Great Hrit aln and the imports from that country Into the United Htates. Exports; f !H0,. 800,lo2. Imports; fl 00,188,152. Now il we sent to England good to the amount of f 4-t 1,72 1,787 more than we bought from her and we only received about 9 100,000,000 more gold than we ej; ported, what became of that other .1.11,721,7877 That id the thing that I want to know." In the first place a very large part of It was kept in England to pay the Inter est on the debt we owe her eople. An other part went to pay ocean transpor tation which is nearly all carried In En glish steamships. About $100,000,000 were spent by American travelers and in thesupport of dukes and lords who have married American heiresses. Home of it went to Uracil and other Hotith American countries to pny for coffee and things we buy of them for they are paid with drafts on London. The figures show that the assertion of bimetnllists that we are indebted to K 11 rope about Ave billion dollars is trim and that we must send a large part of the products of American labor every year to Europe to pay interest charged. We didn't give Englum! any ol those goods, They were all paid for. GOMllll'O KIAIISTS. Th" Horace White-Atkinson gold lingers propose to outdo the wildest ideas that a Kansas pop ever enter tained.

The people who are forced to read the iff a t i ous of mullet headed republican editors are to l,u commiserated, What must nn intelligent farmer think after reading such rot ns that, lla knows that Ihs price of wheat, at his railroad station Is from ' .18 to 10 cents and the price of corn l from 17 toll) cents, He knows that, those prices are just about Die eiune they were two years ago "un der the same old money," lla also knows that Jake Wolfa distributed to the school children of N'cbinsk't during the last, IN months $071,7.1.1.54 and that the republican ollbter who pneded him, during a similar period of 18 months, distributed only $11.1,07.151, When ha figures it out ha sin s that he re ceived for the cducallou id his children under the management of Jake Wolfs 108 per cent more tbnn ha did when the republicans ran things at the state house and that, his taxes have not been raised one cent. With wheat 40 cents a bushel "under the same old money," Uncle Jake's care lor the education of farmers children is about the only con solation that he has, The editor ol tba Iadcr-Indcpcndcnt should go and souk his head in a bug of Ice, Jill VAN'S I'l.AN. Nebraska bus 700 more troops lu the field than her quota. Many of the men In these regiments enlisted when the country was In dinger leaving vast bus) ness Interest or families unprovided for, They enlisted because they thought their country needed their services, As long as their country needed them, they were willing to serve regardless of the persoual eacrifiice they were forced to make, Theieare many men lu thoi-e regiments who can serve without great persoual sacrifice and are willing and anxious to do so, Col, Hryan, with the good, hard common sense with which be has always met every problem of public policy suggests to the authorities that the men in these regiments who cannot serve except at a great financial loss to themselves or great suffering to their families should lie permit ted to resign. In answer to that reasonable request, the Journal' Washington liar tele graph that Nebraska having 700 more men than her quota, the president will re.mll the first regiment all the way from Manila and ship another regiment half way around the world to take it place. Now in all candor, which proposition will commend itself to thoughtful Atneri can citizens? Hrran's common sense plan or the plan to aid Mark Hanna's purty proposed at Washington?

We nre now so overcrowded that the patient cannot be rightly cared for." Dr. Abbott, su perintendent, ' "Good white shirts, linen bosoms, 10 cents. We can sell these shirts for that price because women make them for 0 cents a doZ 'ti." Where did liny ward get his figures from? Thut not one ol I hem was tuken from flia public n cords Is proven by the lact that tba books at the state house have altogether different figures. Henator Kyle went to Cleveland und had an interview with 1 1 an mi. After the interview he annouueed that he would stand by the gold standard. A few min ute uftcrwurd he was struck with para lysis. The gold bugs wouldn't let Uncle Ham levy no income tax, own the t legruphs or establish saving bunks, so he just annexed mi Income tux and savings banks in Hawaii and government tele graphs In Porto Rico ond got ahead of them lu that way, Governor Holcomb will come back from Washington with $ J 0,000 in hi pocket with which to pay off the debts incurred in mobilizing the first and sec ond regiments. Nebraska is the first state to get all its bills cashed at Wash ington. Now let Anuln telegraph some more lies ubout it. Judge Ilayward don't deny that the fusion stabi government pal I off $700,. (100.00 of the 82,401,700 05 of state debts that the republicans contracted while they were in power, but he swears by the holy horn spoon that every man who had a hand in doing it ought to be turued out of office. Populism everywhere has made the same record. Every one of the six pop ul st governors can show a great cuttnur down of expenses in the state of which he has leu the chief executive. This yen r Hid th Dakota reduces ita taxation twenty five per cent. It is a very great privilege to live in a pop state. Htate Treasurer Meservo made a spetch nt ih Oliver theatre .Monday night in reply to the one delivered I here last week by Judge Ilayward, the repub lican candidate for governor. The speech was taken down ia short-hand, but it has not yet been given out for publication as Mr. M. 'serve is carefully comparing every figure in it with the books in the treasurers office. The speech shows up the folly of a candidate trying to falsify the put. lie records. It maken Judge Ilayward a laughing stock for the whole state.

Even Roston, where the common schools had their first beginnings, eince itcume under tho vile influence of the money power, no longer keeps up its schools ns it did be fore that baneful blight fell upon the city.

In NVw York City when tho schools opened for the full term, SiO.OOO children were turned away Is cause thero were no school houses in which to tench them lu that city of multimillionaire.

It nus through Judge Norris that Moore got into the slute bousu. Note for Robinson. Recuuee gold dollars ami greenbacks and national bank noli s nre all on a parity with silver do'lars, Is not a proof that we have the silver standard In Ibis country. Neither Is it pro .f that we have the gold standard becuuse silver dollars, greenbacks und national bank notes are on a parity with gold. Ever, since the reform movement was started, news of jirogress has come by the slow freight. Home days ngo there was an elect ion In t he slute of Vermont. Mighty little has been said ubout it in the great dailies. There was u good reason fur keeping still. The republican vote fell off more than thirty-lime per cent! Rev, Mr, Htoneiu his sermon Inst Hun day said that freedom was only another ii a me for opportunity. That is wtiut the pops have been saying for the lust teu years. To call this the land of the free, when thousands of men were denied the opportunity to labor was not stat ing the whole truth ubout the mutter. The strong holds of republicanism in Nebraska are the cities of Omaha and Lincoln. They manage to hold on to power (here yet. The mayor of Omaha has just been deposed becuuse he is a de faulter and the mayor of Lincoln Is under indictment for bribery and other crimes. That show bow much that party has reformed. The gold democrats captured the Con necticut democratic convention after a. hard tight and organized the state com mittee withuouebtitgold bugs on guard. It is evident as 1000 approaches that the gold standard, bank currency demo crats ere gaining strength in their party. They may not be able to control the democratic nati nal convention, but they are going to control the state or gauizutions in many states. The trusts art. organizing for the pur pose of plundering Cubs ami Porto Rioo und if they are allowed to Ioivh tlit-ir way will do the wot k more thoroughly than the Spaniards could have done it.
