The One Issue.

The American has been doing some
valiant service for Democracy lately.
We are frank, however, to confess
that we do not clearly understand its
editorial of August "a, on "TheOne
ISSUE" If Editor Carmack simply
means, as he appears to argue, that
tariff reform should be made the
leading issue in the coming cam,
paign, then we have no fault to find
with his position but if he means
that the silver question and all other
issues are to be excluded from the
platform and the battle fought on the
tariff issue alone, the silver question
to be sent to the rear rs in the last
campaign, then he will find himself
ganging off with as small a follow
ing as Jehazy leading the sub.treas.
uryites into "A third party scheme,
Our Democratic Congressman clear
ly marked out the true Democratic
policy, and it is useless for any paper
to argue that the victory OF last fall
was won on the tariff question alone.
In some localities the tariff question
led in others free silver was forced
to the front. The force bill, Reed
ism, pension extravaganza, etc.,
played a part, but in all ell ctions
both tariff reform and free coinage
were prominent issues. Especially
in the West did the money question
play the leading part. Now, is it
wise to abandon any one or all ofthGse
issues for the last years birds nest
We think not. Democracy can't al
ford to abandon any issue that played
n part in the fail campaign when a
glorious victory was won.
Moreover, the abandonment of sill
yer now would be an exhibition of
moral cowardice that would destroy
public confidence in the party and
invite certain defeat. Kentucky,
Mississippi, Iowa, Ohio and Mary
land have all taken this view of the
question and have spoken out with
ringing platforms putting tariff re.
form and silver to the front. Again,
there is no doubt that the next Con
gress will pass "A free coinage bill, and
it is equally certain that Harrison
will veto the measure. Then the
question is bound to go before the
people in the Democratic platform,
or Democracy will stand whipped on
IL. Therefore the two issues being so
clearly defined, the policy is to rally
the marty on this line-tariff reform
and free silver.

THE BAPTIST cHuRoH.
The improvements Nearly Completed,
Adding Much To Its Appearance.

The ceiling and plastering of the
audience room of the Baptist church
are about completed and it is an ele-
CANT job of work, rejecting credit on
the contractors, G. r, Wilson q Co.
Mr.. Ritter took special charge of the
job, with Mr.. Beatty, a mechanic
skilled in such work, as foreman.
The ceiling is entirely modernized
and of the most beautiful panel
work of the kind in the city, all OF
hard wood and of various colors.
The walls have been replastered in
rough coating and blocked off stone
fashion, undermining and changing
the whole room. The ladies have
received their new carpet, made ii
up and have it ready to put down.
Some changes are being made in tie
windows, when that part of the
house will be complete and ready
for the new pastor on the first Sun
DAY IN september.
The young ladies of the church
will undertake the remodeling Of
the basement or Sunday-school room
ready for the meeting of the State
Baptist Convention, October 10, fol-
which they already have most, if moi
quite ell, of the money needed, about
5000, picked up in nickles and dimes
from various entertainments. All OF
the Improvements, when completed
will amount to 50, 500 or $4,000.

No Truth In 1t.

A paragraph is going the rounds OF
the gold.bug press purporting to be
an extract from an interview with
Senator Carlisle, in which he is made
to favor the single issue idea of tariff
reform, and say "the party is not
united on free silver and 1t would be
suicidal TO advance it to the position
of equal importance with the tariff"
There is just about as much truth in
this statement as was in the pub
lished interview with Senator Harris
not long ago, which made him
speak in favor OF pushing the silver
issue aside in Difference to Mr.. Cleve-
land, whom he so greatly admired,
and which the Senator has since de
MED, showing how his words were
perverted and declaring that he
would not sacrifice the silver issue for
Mr.. Cleveland or any other man.
MIR. Carlisle did not say any such
thing he would not have said it if
he had thought it. 1t isdi5crediting to
his good sense and craftsmanship to
suppose him guilty of such an utter
ance under the present situation.
Mr.. Carlisle is free silver advocate
and will be found voting for free sill
yer in the next Congress. He did
not think it "suicidal to advance ii
to position of equal Importance
with tariff in the last Congress, nor
before the people in the last election
by which the great victGry was won.
