The American warned the Ohio
Democracy that if they allowed the
silver issue to be thrust to the front
and obscure the tariff, they would be
defeated. The Ohio Democrats fol.
lowed the Americans counsel OBJ.
scured the silver question and push
ed the tariff issue vigorously to the
front and were badly beaten. The
American should acknowledge that
it is failure as a prophet and aiVis
er. Now we want to give our es-
teemed contemporary a little warn
ing. 1t has done the Democratic
party splendid service in breaking
up the Third party movement and
bringing the Democratic farmers
back to sound principles by its arti-
cles in favor of free silver and tariff
reform. Now, it is undoing all OF
this good by helping Mcdowell and
his TOier in their efforts to regain
the free silver farmers. You had
better let up.

The American says: "The Republi.
cans are united against the free coin
age of silver and divided on the tar
iff." Where and how did our es-
teemed contemporary learn this val
liable information To be sure, not
from the Republican Senate, that
helped the Democrats pass the free
coinage bill, and then without the
help Of the Democrats passed the
Mckinley tariff bill, which also
went through the Republican House
with Il whoop, while the anti-free
coinage Republicans had to put up a
compromise job to prevent the pas
sage of the silver bill by the same
House not from the result Of the
Ohio election, where the silver ques-
tion was obscured and the campaign
fought on the tariff, Mckinley him
self the issue. 1t occurs that if the
Republicans were divided on the
tariff, Mckinley could not have
beaten Campbell, who carried the
State two years ago Ivy q goo votes.

The Democratic Platform for 92.

The Democratic Platform for 90.
The Courer.Journal recently re-
marked:
Had the Democratic candidate
for Governor in Iowa delivered the
speeches on silver which united the
party in Massachusetts, he could not
have won.
"Had the Democratic candidate
for Governor in Massachusetts, dealt
with silver as ii was dealt with in
Iowa, he would have been defeat
ed
Then what objection can there be
to adopting the New York State
platform? Nobody has found fault
with that. 1t was strong enough on
tariff reform, and emphasized the
silver plank of the National Demo
cratic platform of 1884, ON which
Grover Cleveland was elected PreSi-
dent, and the Democrats carried
New York on it for Flower by a.
6Is majority, DIS they also carried the
State for Cleveland in 81. This
seems to be the happy medium and
the common sense lesson to be drawn
from the teachings of the late elec.
tions, and platform upon which all
Democrats can safely unite. The
farmers and all conservative free
coinage Democrats will be satisfied
with the New York platform.

kind hearted and truthful as ever
lived. Uncle George gets a little
how-come-you-so occasionally, about
every Saturday evening, but that

of kindness in his heart, and what
ever may be said about his religion
or his habits, he would not prevari

The Alliance and Prohibition.

It is we'll known fact that large
majority of alliance men are prohibit
tionists, and whenever an opportunity
presents itself will vote that ticket
Knowing this to be the case, certain
ambitious men and enemies of our or
ganization. in Georgia, are now trying
to make prohibition a political issue
with the alliance, feeling that if they
can do this it will result in dividing our
organization. Our members must be on
their guard. If community desires to
vote on the sale of liquor in their midst,
let them do so, but don't tack it to the al
lance kite. Prohibition should always
be made separate and distinct issue.
This is the only way in which it can
triumph. The alliance is not politi-
cal organization but was formed for the
purpose of righting great wrongs to the
agricultural classes. 1t does not inter-
fere or conflict with any mans private
opinion. 1t would be a suicidal policy
to espouse outside issues, that are not
german to our platform. Let our de-
mands be the only cause for which we
will battle as an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

How He Gets His Clothes.

An incident took place in Chicago,
which goes to show how prettily the
Mckinley bill is eluded.
F. r. Bennett, we earn from the Tri
bune of that city, an employe of a board
of trade commission firm, was brought
before special agent Stone, of the treas
ury department, to show cause why he
should not pay duty on some samples
of clothing sent him through the mails
by Poole 81 Co., of Savile Row, London,
tailOrs.
Mr.. Bennett told the special agent
that he might sieze the samples if he
pleased, but that he would not pay duty
on them, as they had no intrinsic value.
He gave the information to the agent
that Poole & Co.. had for years been in
the habit of sending him samples and
all that was necessary for him to do was
TO send back his order and measure
ment. In the fall young friend of his
who takes European trips would stop
off at London and get the clothes, three
or four suits, which would be ready.
The friend would wear each of the suits
for two or three hours and then pack
them up. Arriving at New York and
passing through the custom house, the
friend would affirm that they had been
worn, and that they were for use, not
sale. No duty would be collected them.
Mr.. Bennett was tried in many ways

his friend, but he did not see any neces-
sity for introducing him just then. lie

went the length of assuring the agent,
however, that over a hundred young
men of his acquaintance do every year
precisely what he does, and that the
fraudulent practice is going to be more
common in proportion as the Mckinley
bill has raised the prices Of clothing.
The agent did not retain the samples.
as they are not dutiable: but ne is go
ing to devote his faculties for some
little time to the excogitation of two
points; in the first place, towards the
discovery of BENEFITS friend. and in
the next place TO consideration OF the
law on the subject to see if Bennett
cannot be held for conspiracy to defraud
the revenue. The second point, at
least, it will be observed, will be diff
iicult one until the first has been solved
as it is not usual, if it were possible, for
one person to conspire all by himself.
The incident affords pretty illustra-
tion of the way in which unnecessarily
high tariffs defeat the very object
which they were intended to foster.-

The Debto. g Option.

Q: You say that both gold and silver
are the lawful money of this co untry?
A: Yes.
9: They are both legal tender for all
debts, then?
A: They are.
@: Can man pay all of debt in
silver?
A: He can.
@: Can he pay all in gold?
A: He can.
Q: Can he pay half in silver and
halt in gold?
A: Yes-or he can pay any part in
silver and the rest in gold, or any part
in gold, and the rest in silver.
@: Has a creditor any right to say
which, money he will have?
a: No: the option is always with the
debtor 1t is as if farm tenant should
contract to pay his rent in 100 bushels
of wheat, or 200 bushels of corn. The
option is with him; if wheat is the
cheaper he pays in wheat: if corn is
abundant he pays in corn and the land
lord is bound to take whichever is Of
fered him. If, for several years in sue
cession, the wheat crop is short, and
wheat high, and the corn crop album
dant, would it not be very unjust to the
tenant for the landlord to disregard his
contract, and exact his rent in wheat?
Q: 1t certainly would.
A: Suppose the State should take the
landlords side and pass a new law pro.
hibitng rent to be paid in corn and re-
curing it to be paid only IN wheat
would not that be an unfair and oppres-
sive discrimination against the tenant?
Q: 1t would.
A: Well. Congress has inflicted a
wrong very similar to this on debtors
and the debtor sections of the Union in
suspending the free coinage of silver.
It is long step towards one-metallism,
or an exclusive gold system, in which
the debtor sections will lose their
ancient option of paying in either of the
two metals, and be forced to pay in one
and that the dearest. -Grissom's Peo-
