Sound money men object to Governor
Doles' Idea as said before , for the reason
hat It seeks to commIt the government to
a policy which Involves a Onnncial Im-
p ossibility . Thnt impossibility Is that the
United States cannot by statute , without
the consent of the rest of the world malte
a certain weight of silver worth a certain
weight of gold. I Is open to debate whether
al the governments of the world acting
togelher could thus successfully violate the
la\ l of supply and demnnd. but It Is certain
that one country , acting independently . could
not do it. I Is i concelvnble that 1 ratio
' rate
'mlght be establshed which would bo 1 true
one on the day It was established , but there
would be and could be no assurance that
It i would bo a true ratb the day after or on
any other day That would depend altogether -
gether on circumstances and that luctuatng
thing caled public opInIon , which fixes all
values Whichever way It Is viewed the

Iowa C"mthlntcs for 1800.
Otumwn Democrat.
Some of the Democrat's esteemed contemporaries -
temporaries are otherlng themselves about
time presidential candidates for 1896. The
republican papers have ' como to nn agree-
moot that Senator Allison can furnish good
enough material for them , and they have
lett little for the nominating convention
ct their party to do. I the republican
papers want that kind at diversion , there
Is i no reason why they should not have It :
but It avails little more at this tIme than
speculation about next fall's corn crop
The Oslcloosa Times and some other demo-
cratc papers are out for Horace Doles
They reason , and wIth apparent force , that
the next democratic candidate for president
must come tram the west , and this being
admitted. they maintain that Iowa can fur-
nish the strongest candIdate All of which
Is good politics and god logic When It '
comes to admiration for the "grand old man"
of Iowa the Democrat Is with the most sin-
ce'ro of them ,
But the fact remains that the time Is not
yet ripe for selecting a presidentIal candidate -
date to be voted for two years hence. I '
Is al n waste of words and spnce No one
could have foretold wIth anything like assurance -
surance eighteen months before the convention ! -
tion or 1894 was held that Grovel Cleveland -
ton
land would have been nomlnnt d. The '
same was true or DenJamln HarrIson In
saro '
1888. The Interval between this time and
Juno 1896 Is likely to bring about many
changes which cnnnot now bo antcipated ,
There will be an electIon In nearly every
state ot the union In 1895 , and upon the ' '
results of that election very much will depend - '
pend There are other conditions whIch
may lead to a landslide In the opposite dI- '
