Truer or more timely words were
never uttered than the following from
President Cleveland's message sent to
congress on Tuesday:
The people of the United States
are entitled to sound and stable cur
rency and to money recognized as such
on every exchange and in every mar
ket of the world. The government
has no right to injure them by finan-
cial experiments opposed to the policy
and practice of other civilized states,
nor is it justified in permitting an ex-
aggerated and unreasonable reliance
on our national strength and ability to
jeapordize the soundness of the peo-
pies money"

VERDICT OF COMMON SENSE


To The Iowa County Democrat.
In these days, when banks are fail
ing and business houses are assigning,
It is instructive to notice the eager haste
with which your partisan-your stand
ard bred, partisan = scans the news
columns for further " evidence" of the
great mistake the people made at the
polls last November. Nor is any one SO
ready as to enlarge on what he terms
poetic justice " visited on the country
because of last years election.
Quite as ready is he to prove the
necessary and logical connection be-
tween the momentary condition now
existing, and change the people made
in the men they chose to send to
Washington. Every bank unable to
realize on its securities at the de-
mand of despositors, every manufac-
turing concern that shuts down fol
repairs or reduces the number on its
payroll, the closing the silver mines
in the western states, each and all OF
these, are to the wild-eyed, self
sufficient partisan, the "result OF
changing the political character oil
those who are to hold the offices, or in
plain English, of bouncing the repub
licans from power.

SCENE IN GERMAN VILLAGE-PLAISANCE.
Saturday the paid admissions climbed up to
lO429l The general opinion among law
yers is that there is no way in which the
gates can be shut under Judge STEMS in
Junction and decision in the contempt case
and that the gates will be open to the end,
unless the directors pay their fines, which
alone would give them standing in court
The directors of the Worlds fair are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of continuing
several Of the most attractive departments
for another year. These departments, so
a well defined rumol has it, are those of
fiae arts, fisheries and horticulture, with
probably some others. Ever since the fair
opened it has beeu suggested that steps
be taken toward the continuance of the ex-
position for another year. 1t was argued
that six months with its varying weather
and other obstacles was too short time
to accommodate all who wanted to see the
display.
Wednesday will be Pythian day at the
fair and an attractive programme has
been arranged with magnificent display
of fireworks at night. Congresses of juris-
prudence and law reform, civil service re-
form, suffrage in republic, kingdom and
empire and the government of cities will
week. Prominent jurists of this country
and foreign nations will make addresses,
among them Judges Cooley, Grosscup and
Woods.
George Francis Train went to the fair
Saturday on tally-ho coach and was
dined at the White Horse inn. There was
no end OF speeches, in which George took
prominent part.
1t turns out that ex-Swiss Commissioner
Nemitz has been wronged man. He has
explained and all charges have been with
drawn.
Gilmore's band begins an engagement at
the park today.
The Objectionable features of the ORR

Editor Cline, of the Hudson True
Republican, is sound on financial
question. He believes with The
Democrat, that Repeal should be the
watch word of the present session of
Congress, and that the unsatisfactory
condition of affairs is mainly due to
unwise legislation. He says:
"The extra session of congress will
be watched with unusual interest, by
every one in the country. 1t is hoped
that the leaders will be the best rep
resentatiyes of the Democratic party
and that they will not turn aside to
please any faction Of bowling theorists
who q there with ideas and no exper-
fence in public business. Let us hope
for conservative action, and yet such
as will undo as much as possible of
the vicious legislation that now OPP
presses the country"

ues forty weeks. Thirteen teachers
are employed. Board and tuition are
free to all pupils, residents of the

To attempt to reason with one whom

TO attempt to reason with one whom
you must instruct is to waste YOU time
in argument and it is wasting your
time with one whose mind is sat isfied
with driyel, of which this is speci-
men: THE Democrats are in power;
We have hard times; We have hard
times because the Democrats are in
power" Not a few in delivering this
recitation in logic add to it a certain
unctious infection and emphasis; then
with grieved look, tragically whisper,
81 TOLD YOU so"
It was James G. Blaine who said to
the partisans who gave us the Mckin-
ley Law, Go on with your driveling
idiocy," well knowing that the people
could be depended upon to read be-
tween the lines and at the proper time
to call down the party that had been
untrue to them. So now democrats
await with confidence the verdict of
common sense.
At this moment, your partisan, with
loud lungs and exultant smile at the
news of continued distress of the
banks and industries of the country, is
making a mistake. Editor Democrat,
the people loaded their gurs at home,
and for bear too, when they took a
day off last November; and they are a
trihe sensitive, now that values are
shrinking and money is close" about
having the cause of this heaped upon
them because they decided to have a
little something to say in the matter
of Office holding.
They are sensitive for several
reasons, one of which is, some of them
have voted the republican ticket in the
past and they feel if it is true that pres
ent disturbance comes from the change
of ADMINISTRATION it is a legacy from the
party they formerly helped to keep in
power, whose real motives and policy
they are now markedly permitted to see.
They now see how complete the de-
ception has been. They look back
over thirty years history and see that
the partisans they bounced, had, with
uninterrupted control, with unlimited
power for good, so enmeshed, interwov-
en- and entangled the affairs of their
government with the labor and capital
of the people that to select the men
the voters want to fill the offices is to
start an avalanche of hard times up
on the every day work and business of
of the people.
And they are sensitive about having
the blame Of financial stringency put
upon them for they have searched in
vain for the law or laws passed, or
change OF any kind made, since the
men they elected took hold and those
rejected let go; and they do not, there
fore, believe the charge to be true.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's message to
congress deals with the financial ques-
ton, and recommends the "prompt
repeal of the provisions of the act
passed July IA, 1890, authorizing the
purchase of silver bullion" The Pres
ident justly attributes our present
financial plight to congressional leg
islation touching the purchase and
coinage of silver by the general gov
eminent" No honest, right thinking
person can fail to admire the frank
and bold manner in which he treats
the important question. His argu-
ments for a sound and stable currency
are simply unanswerable. The mes
sage is given in full in this issue OF
The Democrat. 1t should be read
by every citizen.
