The JOURNAL finds fault because
the treasurer has stopped the coinage
of silver dollars. Well he has not
stopped buying silver and issuing
certificates instead They are more
convenient and will give to silver a
larger circulation than the coin dollar
can do.
The per capita in 1860, just before
the Republicans came into power was
sl3.S5, and in 1873, when what is
called demonetization occurred. the
per capita was $lS05, and IN 1891 it
is $2345. The Independent contract
ion and demonetization is chestnut.
When in the advocacy of his fiat
money theory Mr.. Loucks said that
gwen amount OF it would raise the
price of prodnce by three times he
testified to the worthlessness of such
a currency because it was the indirect
way of saying such money would be
worth only one-thlrd of its face value
and that is more than its worth in the
Argentines.
A few weeks ago the JOURNAL said:
"In the time of our greatest peril the
government was unable to sell bonds.
The government was compelled to print
paper dollars to defray the vast ex-
pense of the war Every word of the
above Is false. At the close of the
war the interest bearing debt was 81
3Sl $50, ,294.96 and the interest for
that year was sl5l 100000. page 5,
10th Statistical Abstract.) Again at
the close OF the war the National Bank
notes amounted in round numbers to
10000, 900, secured by u. s. bonds.
Where did they come from page 22,
10th S. AZ We never issued any
paper dollars and the total of non-in-
terest paper promises to pay dollars
sometime was SAT- 100000 Such
falsehoods as the above is what created
the Independent party.

The free coinage people want the
government to pay the silver kings 100
cents for 76 cents worth of silver and
to buy every ounce mine owners may
procure. The republican party wants
the government to buy all this silver
ct market value and coin it into money
to be added to the circulation of the
country, hut it don't want to tax the
farmers to pay the silver king twenty
four per cent. more then his goods are
worth on the market.-Xyde 90.

The meeting was called to order by the
President, j. NJ. Porter. The Psychology

CALAMITY bowling has already driven
capital from our State and notwith-
standing the good crops the election
of Smith TO Congress would be dis
credit to the State. Capitalists are
afraid to loan their money to people
who openly advocate repudiation.
That's why those farmers in Sully
county desirous of making loans on
Ian Is and chattels have been unable
to get the accommodation, and just so
long as the calamityltes are supported
in their nefarious work by the votes of
the people-and the contribution of
their hard earned monev-just so long
the strigency of money in Sully county
to be loaned-will continue, and
the price of farm land remain at the
zero point Men who are competent
to accumulate wealth are not fools
enough to loan it to those who openly
denounce them, no matter what the
rate of interest may be.

THE Journal editor has bursted his sus-
penders and allows his outside pair of
pants to hang down behind. in vain effort
to show the people in this week Journal
that the editor of the WATCHMAN is about
the meanest man in Sully county. His
TRADE is false, wholly false. from one end
to the other. not word of truth in it. 1t
is all because we last week stated that the
Journal Publishing Go. had nominated
one of its stockholders for Commissioner
in District No. 3, but does this harangue
prove that it would be safe to turn the
management of the county's affairs over
to that Companyg We are reliably in
formed that there was but one man in the
convention that nominated James Mont
gomery who was not stockholder in the
Journal Publishing Co. and the Chairman
of the caucus that elected him is one of
the stockholders. In reference to the
Odd Fellows Hall removal, but one nan,
j. II. Otis, spoke to- us about the removal
during that campaign and he was prompt
ly informed that r campaign was on and
we were making no promises of any kind
We did however, use all our efforts to get
the hall moved to Onida For the truth
of this assertion we refer any one to Judge
+. w. Burdick of Gettysburg, who was
the main mover in getting it taken there
All his other assertions. even to the
Census Enumerator matter. are as brazen.
ly false as this hall removal question
The editor of the WATcHMAN was never a
candidate for the position Everts sought
and secured by the aid OF our recommen-
dation. Everts probably thinks the
people had forgotten that he was at one
time since living in Sully county Govern
ment otficial-way up one, too. Had
four townships to enumerate. But then
that don't disprove the fact that Jim
Montgomery was nominated by members
of the Journal Publishing Co. All the
lies Gee Whiz can publish wont eradicate
that fact.

THE Republicans IN District Nos. 3
and 3 will not do their whole duty If
they do not turn out to a man and re-
elect Commissioners Maxwell and
Lawrence. Both are good representa-
tive men and well understand how to
conduct the business OF the county in
the most economic manner. They
have been tried and none of their con-
stituents can make just critism TO
their actions on the Board.

d. HALL.

We are proud of the Republican
platform and are keeping 1t IN print
during the campaign. 1t shows the
progressiveness of the party. The
JOURNAL is ashamed of thiers and
gives only misleading synopsis.
The journal says: "Any American
citizen can stand squarely" upon their
platform. Well, it endorsed the sub
treasury nonsense and railroad owner
ship, which would cost the nation
twelve billions to buy, just stop your
kicking and climb up Come get
move on Yourself and write couple
of articles endorsing those planks.
One year ago the calamitities were
predicting "higher prices on account of
the tariff but like their percaplta and
mortgage screeches, it didn't pan out.
The Independents want the money
"issued direct" The total amount of
money is $2,l40,OO0,OOO and of this
the national banks issue sl7l ,O00, 900,
or 8 per cent. So the government
already issues direct 90 per cent. of
the whole, and but few years can
pass before 1t will be issuing all the
money. One does not need to vote
the Independent ticket to bring that
about. They are always resolving
something that by existing legislation
is sure to follow.
The silver question is an other illus.
tratlon. Before they had given their
first calamity yelp we had perfected
measure by which we are using all the
silver and Its total use as such will
shortly appreciate the bullion, when
free coinage will come rs easy as roll.
ing off log, but the Silver Kings and
their Independent pards wont care for
it then.
For the whole period until the Re
publlcans came into power the annual
average silver coinage was only 81 600
900. That so-called calamity demon
etization of silver (whatever that may
mean) occurred IN 1873, but for the
five years ending with 1872, the annual
average coinage was $2,56l 900, while
the average tor the five years, ending
with 1877, was $l6,26l 900. page 80.
18th Statistical Abstract.) In 1873
the Bland bill said the annual coinage
must be not less than s24 900 900, and
the average was above that figure; and
again in 1890 the annual amount was
increased to s54. 100000, Again the
whole amount Of silver used for money
PRIOR to Republican rule was $l2S, 900
900 and since that time $4,000 900.
What is the matter with our silver
policy? win Gee.Whiz open his
mouth and explain the calamity.

j. NJ PEAsE, of Mitchell an indie
pendent party speaker, made speech
in Onida on Monday evening last to
small audience, dwelling mostly on the
money issues, saying among other
things that at the close of the war
some$l 200, 900, 900 fmoney was burn
ed, but as we never had such a volume
of money very likely he had reference
to the 7 B. 10 per cent. bonds that We're
refunded into the per cents. If they
were money at the higher rate they
were still money when re-issued or re-
funded at the lower rate. OF course
the old bonds were burned. The Inter
Oceans reference was Cf this bond
transaction. He complained of the
resumption of specie payment in 1879
because it naturally restored the nor
NAL condition and prices, but all those
persons that treated the period as
temporary and unusual, conditioned
by the struggle of the nation for life
and so allowed no debts to be hanging
over them at the resumption period,
were not injured. Those not so
thoughtful were pinched; hut that day
has long since passed away and all the
debts of the present have been con
tracted under present conditions. He
made a very cunning reference to
prices OF wheat then and now, but
failed to say that the bushel of wheat
will buy more goods now than then.
Barring his impossible theories he is a
pleasant and interesting speaker.
