AN ISSUE.


The effort upon the part Of those
who believe in gold monometallism to
keep the financial question out Of this
campaign, will be fruitless. They had
a. well attempt to turn the course Of
the winds. The money issue Is living
one, and will and must be forced to the
front.
As Is well known to our readers, the
INTELLIaENcER has disagreed with the
present administration upon this issue.
In thus differing we have seen nothing
to warrant Is in alleging dishonesty
upon the part Of the president.
We did not believe during the extra
session Of congress that Cleveland was
dishonest, nor Dc We believe it now,
but We do believe he Is wRONal
Nor is this paper disingenuous
enough to assert that there are not q
large number OF honest democrats who
believe that the course of the admins
tration, upon the question of finances,
was correct. Surely none Of them
can claim It to be aught else than
. departure from the principles and
traditions Of the democratic party.
But the argument Of the monomet-
allist these days Is, that the silver
question is not the issue, but that the
tariff must be settled first and then we
will all 60 in for free coinage.
Is there q reader Of this paper who
Is stupid enough to believe that there
will be another general tariff bill passed
In the next ten ysarsP
Specific bills will be passed, but al
to q general measure, non will be
introduced in congress until this
country gets ready for free trade,
unless the republicans get control Of
the government. Should they ever gel
IN power again they would re-enact the
Mckinley biIl-or something worse.
The battle now on Us il the money
issue, and the great majority Of the
democratic party are on the aggressive,
and will battle for 5i-metaliism until
the system is established.
Oh, yes, there are differences in The
party on the silver question. There
were differences on the tariff question,
seven years ago, and they cost the
democratic party the control of the
government. But the west and south
said that the tariff must be revised
tina: protection was q robbery. 1t wa.
fought out on this line, and the differ.
ences now are settled, and not on {
Wall street basis either.
As sure as night follows day, the
double standard will be restored il
this country, and it will be restored
through the democratic party.
The fight il on!
There is no use TO try to suppress it
The "GOld Bugs" have the machin
cry; the "Silver Bugs have the VOTES

THAT BRIDGE.


When the gentle zephyrs. of spring
softened the chilling blasts of winter,
and made call nature gay" the city of
Lexington went wild over building a
bridge across the Missouri river.
Children, just learning how to talk,
we're taught to lisp the word '~'bridge"
with the same breath they lisped the
word sshome."
The ragged urchin on the street sang
bridge melodies, and white and black,
rich and poor, high and low, saint and
sinner, all joined in a mighty chorus.
The Board of Trade built 1t on paper
several times, and the general public,
afraid that all the credit would be given
that organization, demanded that 1t be
placed in the hands Of the people.
This bridge was to be ''of the people,
by the people, and for the people"
Everybody wanted to give toward its
erection, and nom every tongue, mingled
with every breeze, n could hear of
the greatness and grandeur that was to
come as q heritage to this ''GOd-
blessed" people. Kansas City was to
be set back an hundred years, while
Lexington was to Immediately enter
the twenty-second century.
The man with a farm in a radius of
twenty miles began to figure on how
many town lots it would make.
Meetings were held which packed
the court house with anxious people
like sardines in q can.
A meeting would be called, and
before 1t could adjourn somebody
would call another, and that one would
be larger still.
More excitement prevailed here than
had been raised since the battle of
Lexington.
When, at q public meeting, the call
was made for fifty men to act As charter
members, and to pay fifty dollars each
for the privilege, many citizens felt
sighted because they fell outside of the
breastworks In the fight to get their
names ON this list.
Well. that's all over now.
WhyP
That il the question the INTELLI-
GRNCER wants answered.
One thousand dollars have been paid
into the bridge treasury, and the major
part of 1t Is there now. The soundings
have been made, the charter has been
granted BY congress, and many of the
minor details have been attended.
II Lexington needed . bridge, last
May, she needs one now. That she
does need one, no one will deny.
Let's brace up again!
We need that bridge and must
have It.
Any n who lived here during those
enthusiastic meetings, last May and
June. knows that the bridge enterprise
10 n which has the sympathy of all
our citizens.
Let the board Of directors hold q
caucus. and report upon the outlook.
This Is their well-defned duty; they
should not be recreapt thereto.

To be entirely frank | should state

stances the suggestion is emphasized
that we should take great pains to be

In short it would be reasonable to con-

our roads are, on the whole, in wretched
condition. They greatly need cOmpre-
