Which KOOS to fihow that theie Is either an utter lack of demoeiats or an utter lack of intotest in the democratic nom ination for COIIKIOSS In this dlstilct. Governor Altceld ventures the opinion that Biyan will poll three votes in Ne braska to every one for MelClnloy. If * the piveinor's ptodictlons on the out come In his own and other states are us wild eyed as hlrt opinions about Ne braska , republicans need have no fear ns to the overwhelming success of their ticket.

It will be Inteiestlng to compaio the roster of the Indianapolis convention with the looter of the. Chicago conven- tlim for well known nnd repioscntatlvo. men. It 1ms been wild th.U excluding thu bound money delegates no national comentlon In the history of the demo cratic paity had so few meinbeiri of national icpiito as the Chicago conven tion. The Indianapolis gatheilng would not lune to make any very notable showing to hold its o\vu iti the com- jurlsou. Major McKlnloy'a letter of accept mice should receive the tlioitghtfnl coit- sldoiatlon of eveiy American citizen. It Is worthy of this ns an out nest , patriotic nml statesmanlike exposition of the Is sues bofoie the countty. Ills discus sion of the silver question Is ample , lucid and logical and what ho say.s of tlio woiklnginaii and the fanner In this connection should have the Intelligent and unprejudiced nt tent Ion of those classes of the people lie points out that fne silver would not mean that silver tlollins were to be ficoly bad without cost or labor. "It would not mnKo hilmr oaMor. the hours of labor shot tor or the pay better. It would not make fanning less laboiloiis or inoio piontablo. It would not stnit a facility or make a demand for an ad- dltloinl day's labor. It would noato no now occupations. It would add noth ing to ( he comfoit of the musses , the capital of the people or tin- wealth of the natluii. It seeks to Inlioduco a now mensuio of value , but would add no value to the thing mciisnicd. It would not conceive values. On Iho contrary , It would derange all existing \.iliio < . It would not testore business confidence , but Its ditect olToet would bo to destiny the little which jet remains" Uveiy one of these pioposltlons Is absolutely sound and title. The wage earner who imagines that In some way his interests would be piomotod by ft to silver Is deluding himself. Equally certain Is It that the fanner who believes ho would bo boneliled by such dplusoiuent of the currency Is nuislng n fallacy. Mnjot McKlnley cloaily and foicofully explains what must be the tosulls of Hllvet mono metallism \ the liiov liable consequent"1 of the fiee and unlimited coinage ot silver at the ratio of 1 ( ! to 1 , and says he Is unaltoiably opposed to any .such policy. This declaration should fully satisfy eveiy ft lend of tlio existing monetary standaid. Itofoiilng to the demand for paper money , to be issued exclusively by the govetument , Major McKlnley says that a graver menace to our llnnnclnl standing and ciedit could baldly be conceived. In logard to the question of ptotectlon the icpubllcaii candi date speaks with the coinage of convic tion. lie believes it an Nsiio of sn- piomo impoitnnce. While the poiii of 1'ieo silver must be aveited , the oft eels of paitinl fiee trade must bo collected. "Tho lopublican paity , " he sn > s , "Is vvodded to the doctiiue of ptotectlon and was never moie cainost In Its sup poit and advocacj than now , " finding ample aignmont in the lesson and ox- poilonce of the past thioe yoais. Major McKlnlej's treatment of this question will be entirely sntisfnetoiv to all 10- publicans , . though it doubtless will dls please those honest money demoeiats who contemplate voting the lopublican ticket , but aio opposed to protection. These have hoped that the lepublicau candidate would Ignoio the ptotectlon issue and discuss only tint of the cur rency , but thej ought to see that lie could not have donu this without being faithless to his convictions and to a caidimil piinciple of his party's cieod. To any honest money demociat who may feel disposed to withhold his sup poit f loin McKlnley because of his at titude legaidlng piotectlon , we would commend the following decimation by that distinguished Veimont democrat , IIou. IMwaid .1. L'helps : "I do not believe - lievo in protection ami I shall never be conveited to It. But in the thioes of a deadly malady I cannot atl'oid to 10- ject the only physician who is in a situ ation to help me because his politi cal opinions aio dilTeioiit fiotn mine 01 even because I think theic aio bettei physicians than ho , if they could only bo had in time. I shall theieloic vote tor McKlnley. " That Is the ttue posi tion for evoiy demociat who Is opposed to curiency debasement , regntdless of what his tat Ift views may be. Major McKlnley eainestly deprecates the appeals that me being made to class piojudke , which he declines to bo beneath the spit It and intelligence of a ft eo people. The following should Lominend itself to the hearty appioval of all good cltl/ens : "Ooveinmont by law must llrst bo tissuied ; evoiything else can wait. The splilt of lawless ness must be extinguished by the Hies of an unselfish and lofty patriotism. Hvery attack upon the public faith and every suggestion of the lepudiatlon of debts , public or piivute , must be 10- bilked by all men who believe that honesty Is Iho best policy , or who love their country and would pto.seive un sullied Its national honor. " This latest and most Impnitnnt utterance of the icpubllenn standaid boaior cannot fail to niaUe an excellent Impiosslon on the countiy. _ run xouxn MONIJV n The democrats who adhere to the traditional pilnolples of their paity re garding the cuiiency are becoming active and fioin now on may be ex pected to n.ssumo an aggtesslve nttl- tuilu In the campaign. The.se men are lepteseiitative of democracy In Its bust estate. They have always worshiped at the democratic ululne , they are la- mlllnr with the party's history , they leverence Its traditions and honor the example of Its great lendois of the past. The > o democrats therefoie find It im possible to ally themselve.s with the po litical element which , while assuming the title of democrats , has enunciated piinclplos and policies that nntagonl/e the democracy of Jeffeuon and .lack- son and chosen as Its standard bearer a man who had pioclalmed that ho was not a democrat and whom the populUU accept as In full accoid with them. The spliit that actuate.s those sound money demoeiats Is strongly c.xptessed In the speech of Senator Vll.is as chair man of the Wisconsin convention to se lect delegates to the national conven tion at Indianapolis , They cannot con sent to have the old patty stirrenileied to the domination of Altgold , Tlllnmn and their like. They aie not Influenced by the plea of icgnlarlty la tespoet of the Chicago convention , because It was not democratic but popttllstlc piinclplos that pievalled In that convention. "Tho houles of populism , " said Senator Vllns , "may , Indeed , as vvo have seen them do , with Imrlmili ! violence Invade thu sanc tuary of the putty , drive out Its high priests , put on tholr veslinonts ami at tempt to minister at Its desecrated altar , but they cannot rewrite the bible of Its faith. " It H to piesorvo this faith that the f > omid money democrats mo oiganlzlng against the popocratlo combination. Tlio declarations of the Iowa national democracy me In harmony with those of Wisconsin. They say that the Chicago cage platform Is inNdiovions In Us ten dencies and n menace to fiee gov em inent , that the piliiclples It mows are not deinociatlc and that the election of a pieshlont pledged to those ptlnciplos will picclpitato a llnnmial ctlsls wltosu conspquonce.s cannot be piedlcted. Ono of the sliongost arraignments of the Chicago plntfonn yet made by a demo crat Is that of the lion. Kdwaid .1. I'helps of Veimont , n man of distin guished ability , who has fought the hopi'less battles of democracy 111 his st.ito for a lifetime. lie says of the platlotm : "It seeks to btoak down the d.vkos which the von.slllutlon nnd the law of the land have with long and laborious assiduity i.ilsed for the de fense' of the umimon Intel ests and vvel- fate and to let In upon us the seething and pointed flood of communism , 1110:1 law , bankinptcy , topudlation and an aichy , which It Is the chief objects of all clvlll/.od govoinnioiits to exclude. " This is the spirit which has made the demand for tlio Indianapolis conven lion and it will oxeit Itself with Incieas ing potency as the campaign advances. And now wo are told by the local Bryan oigan that ! ) ( ) per cent of the sugar beet giovveis of 1'ierce county will Mite for Bryan. If this weie lltei- ally tine It would only show tint the sugar beet growers of Nebraska me willing to abandon beet glowing and go back to glowing coin and oats. No body has tried to stab the beet sugar Industry as poi.slstently as has William leiiiilngs Biyan and nobody has woiked hauler than ho to give the foiolgn sugar beet giovver ptefeieuce over the Ameil- e.in sugar beet giovver. The boot sugar piodiiceis of Germany. Austria , Franco and Belgium leooivo bounties on all the sugar they oxpoit to the United States. But Mr. Br.van Is not willing to give the Ameiican sugar beet laiseis any protection either in the shape of bounty or Import duty to enable able them to compete In their own maiket with the toielgn product raised by half-paid labor. Mr. lit .van's pi In clple has been , "Buy In the cheapest matkot and lot homo Industry take can of itself the best It can. " Tlio siig.n beet giovveis of Nebraska know all this and that is one leason why they will not vote for Biyan. In voting against him they will only be cairyiug on !

The Republic 1ms been endeavoring to pull "Davo" Traiicls * chestnuts out of tlio flru and at the same time pretends to be icprc- suntliiK the sentltncnta of the Missouri demo crats.

Asking nt what rntlo should our mints bo opened to the free , unlimited and Inde pendent coinage of silver , he wrote "To this question 1 answer unreservedly 1G to 1 If the people want bimetallism at nil they want the ctimnrj depreciated and this Is what would bo done It the rntlo of 1C to 1 should be adopted H Is not parity which we want , It Is not concurrent circula tion , If gold docs not circulate licio It will circulate elsewhere , ns It Is now doing , It will still form n portion of the world s money supplyVo will hnvc no need for gold. silver will bo our monev. nnd It will be what wo want , n dcpreclted currency " Wo publish tolny an authorized interview with Judge W S McOlaln of Little Rock , leader of the free silver forces In Arkansis , whn boldlj nnd frankly takes the same ground "I mil sometimes asked. " he says , "If I btllpvc the rcinontlyatlon of BVCT | would Increase Its value so ns to make Iho bullion In a silver dollar equal to the present gold dollar 1 ntiswcr no If I thought so I would not waste time ndvoditlng the ics- torntlon of the unlimited coinage of sil ver The solo object of rcmonctlylng sil ver , as I understand It , Is to secure n cheaper dollar with which to measure and legulate- prices "If vvo would only mlopt the silver del lar as the unit nnd imasnre of vnluc , " ho explains , "wo would thereby hnve n money that would bo n little moio than half as valuable as gold and It would bo exactly w'lat ' wo want The Judge recognl/cs thnt this would swindle creditors , nnd ho Is not s ire thnt private debts existing before the passage of n free coinage act ought not to be paid In gold , suggesting thnt perhaps a proviso to th.it effect should be placed In the act which Mr Ilrjnn is to sign. The Judge , however , docs not seem to remember that Iho pint- forms on which Mr Urjan was nominated dcclnre against any such honesty and forbid oven the making of a gold contract. How ever , the Judge thinks that "there Is such n thing ns being a fool even nbout pajlng debts , " and Is not In favor of encouraging too much honesty In that regard As to debts which the government owes , he would not hesitate to partially repudiate them , and pay them In the cheap silver , even though the government received from Its creditors full vnluo In gold. This view of the effects of free coinage Is undoubtedly the sincere ono , nnd the ono which Is entertained by most of those who are clamoring for free silver. They would not care for free silver if It would give them a dollar equal in value to the gold dollar Moreover , it Is the view taken In both of Mr Brjau's platforms , which for bid contracts for gold , and which thereby confess It Is not the expectntlon thnt free coinage would make silver money as valua ble and as desirable ns gold. Mr Urynn In his New York speech pro fessed to believe that free coinage would raise silver to $1.29 an ounce , at which a silver dollar would be of the same value as the gold dollar. In this Mr. Ilrj-an departs from his platforms , and If ho could prove his theory most of those free sllverltes who are now supporting him would have no further use for him and free sllverlsm What the'j want Is a denreclitcd dollar , not another dollar as "dear" as the gold dollar.
