FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the product of American mines,
at the old ratio of 16 of silver to of
gold, is the only solution Of and
remedy for the disturbed and unsatis-
factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-
try. The surreptitious act of 1873,
divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act
of treason because done at the instance
of European syndicate and for bribe
money, "giying aid and comfort to
our countrys enemies" To shield
the guilty parties, the well authenti-
Gated facts, often published, have been
vigorously denied.
The Enquirer will continue to e1-
pose this objectionable crime until
right and justice are done the people
by the full restoration of silver to its
old "companionship with gold. We
need the assistance of the people in
disseminating the truth, to which end
we invite all in your selection of pa
pers for the coming season to include

FACTS NOT PROPERLY GIVEN.

General Weaver, in his school house
speeches is reported as making the fol
lowing statement: "that the eleventh
census shows that during the decade
from 1880 to 1890, under high protect
i've tariff, some two or three states in
New England increased their wealth
five times as much as nine of the lar
gest Western states during the same
period, and this in face of the fact that
in 1880 the wealth in the nine Western
states was double that of the three
New England states.
And further says, Gentlemen with
the high protective craze, for whose in
terest are you voting? Massachusetts
or Iowa7"
General Weaver simply distorts the
facts of the census to suit his case as
the following figures taken from the
eleventh census will show.

IowA's REPUBLICAN PLATRoRM-iso4.

The Republican party comes again before the
people OF Iowa with every promise performed
and every prophecy fulfilled.
Onstrated the untitneSS and incompetency OF
the Democratic party to administer the affairs
OF the Nation, and has again vindioated the
eternal truth of Republican principles.
From the universal disaster that has accom-.
panied Democratic supremacy. We turn with
confident hope to the sacred duty OF restoring
peace and prosperity to distracted and dis
ordered country.
1 We again declare for system OF protective
duties so adjusted that every American re-
source can be developed by American labor, re-
celying American wages; and we insist upon a
tariff that will accomplish these ends.
2. We have but to mention the disastrous
results which have followed the mere menace
OF free trade as conclusive evidence OF the wis
dom of the Republican policy in the past upon
this subject.
3. We adhere to the declaration OF the Ma
tlonal Republican party In 1892 upon Its none
4. we re-atirm our belief that 'the interests
OF the country, its farmers and workingmen,
demand that every dollar paper or coin, issued
by the government, shall be as good as any
other dollar"
8. We favor the largest possible use OF silver
as money, that Is consistent with the permanent
maintenance OF equal values of all dollars In cir
culation.
g.. We do not want monometallism, either OF
geld or OF silver, and we pledge ourselves to
Continue the work for bimetalism, to be brought
about by all lit means within the power Of the
government
7. The welfare Of the laborer and the main
tenance OF the dignity OF labor have beon the
constant care of the Republican party from its
birth Its whole history Is an effort to secure
to the wage worker his just share OF the fruits
of toll; and it now renews its pledge to defend
the workingmOn not only against the assaults
OF foreign competition but against the attacks
of domestic aVarice.
8. That the honest and industrious immigrant
who comes to our land with the intent 70 be-
come In good faith an American citizen, Is al
ways welcome. None other should be permitted
to come. We favor the amendment and more
stringent enforcement of the immigration laws
so as to exclude criminal, pauper and all other
undesirable classes whose presence tends to de-
grade American labor and incite disorder.
8. The Republican party, ever mindful OF the
patriotic services and sacrifices Of the veteran
soldiers OF the Republic, re-affirms its position
In favor OF llberality to the Nations defenders.
We favor the granting of pensions to all nonor-
ably discharged Union soldiers and sailors
whose disabilities or necessities Justly entitle
them thereto.

NOW FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

With the work of the political con-
ventions of the past two weeks, the
campaign for Audubon county is COM
menced. Heretofore the political stu.
alton has seemed general, rather than
practicular, in that it concerned others
equally with ourselves. Now the work
Is at our own door, and every voter in
Audubon comfy has personal inter
est in the campaign. Candidates, the
favorites of the people as determined
by the delegates in the conventions are
before us, asking the suffrage of the
voter. And the campaign is on.
The republican candidates are, one
and all, good men. They are men who
believe in and hold fast to the doctrines
and principles of the great republican
party. They are in favor of prosperity
for America, and the maintenance of
the business interests of the country.
Let every republican give our ticket
his hearty and unreserved support
Do some work for the success of the
ticket. Speak good word for our
various candidates. Let people know
that you are republican and that you
expect with confidence the return OF
republican rule in November.
Victory is assured the republican
party throughout the whole country
Everywhere, people are sick of the
change" which the democratic rule
has brought upon the interests of the
land. The prosperity party upholding
the principle of protection and the
principle of sound and honest money
is coming into power, and your vote
for the party ticket will help swell the
majorities to rebuke the party that is
now misgoverning the country.

OLD SCOTCH SUPeRSTlTloNs.
The Many Absurdities That Chung Round
the Ceremony of Baptism.

the ceremony OF baptism.
Thus on the birth of child-to be-
gin at the beginning-it was impera.
tive that both the mother and babe
should be 'sained"-that is, fir cam
die was carried thrice round the bed,
and a Bible, with hammock or some
bread and cheese, was placed under the
pillow and kind of blessing muttered
to propitiate the good people. !"
Sometimes a fir candle was set on the
bed to keep them off. If the newborn
showed any symptom of Righteousness,
1t was supposed to be changeling, and
to test the truth of this supposition the
child was placed suddenly before peat
fire, when, if really a changeling, it
made its escape by the "lenn, or Chin
ney, throwing back words of scorn as it
disappeared. There was much eagerness
to get the babe baptized lest it should
be stolen by the fairies. If it died I'M
christened, it wandered in woods and
solitary places, lamenting its melan-
choly fate, and was often to be seen.
Such children were called "tarans.
Allan Ramsay, in his Gentle Shep-
herd" describing Mause, the witch,
says of her:
At midnight hours DER the kirkyard she raves
And houks unchristened weans out of their
graves.
1t was considered a sure sign Of i'll
fortune to mention the name of an ''un-
christened wean," and even at baptism
the name was usually written ON slip
of paper, which was handed to the Off
ciating minister, that he might be the
first to pronounce it. Great care was
taken that the baptismal water should
not enter the infants eyes, not because
such mishap might result in wailings
loud and long, but because the sufferers
future life, wherever he went and what
ever he did, would constantly be vexed
by the presence Of wraiths and specters.
If the babe kept quiet during the cere-
mony, the gossips mourned over it as
destined to a short life and perhaps not
merry one; hence, to extort a cry, the
would handle it roughly or even pinch
it.
If a male child and female child
were baptized together, it was held to
be most important that the former
should have precedence. And why? In
the Statistical Account of Scotland"
the minister of an Orcandian parish ex-
plains: within the last seven years he
had been twice interrupted in admins
tering baptism to female child before
a male child, who was baptized imme-
Siately after. When the service was
over, he was gravely told he had done
very wrong, for, if the female child was
first baptized, she would, on coming to
the years of discretion, most certainly
have a strong beard, and the boy would
have none. all the Year Round.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 10, 1894.
The temperature of the past week
was slightly below normal, and the
frost line was reached on the 18th and
10Th. The larger part of the state re-

No material damage resulted from
the frost. Corn is generally safe; full

and cutting is still in progress.
The soil is in good condition, and
more than the average amount of fall
blowing will be done. There will be
an increased acreage of fall wheat and
rye; the early seeded is up and looking
unusually well.
Pastures are again furnishing feed
for stock. Late potatoes are showing
marked improvement.
