THE Democratic central committee
Of the Seventh Kansas district, in the
power granted it by the district con-
ventiou, has formally endorsed Jerry
Simpsons candidacy for congress.
The question of party expediency
aside the LEADER is frank to admit
that on most of the great economic
questions before congress when they
came to vote Simpson proved him
self better Democrat than some of
the eastern members who paraded un-
der the party's banner on dress pa
rade. Jerry is head and shoulders

winch SHALL 1T BEY

Every citizen in Oklahoma is direct
ly interested in the administration OF
the national government AS that is
administered in the interest of the
people on the basis efficiency aud
economy, the country will prosper
and we receive our proportion Of BEN
etts, and vice versa, So likewise, bat
in greater degree because immedi-
ately affected-are all interested in To-
cal government With the laws and
the duties of the local aud county ofii-
ces In the hands of honest, efficient
aud faithful men the community will
prosper and the best interests of the
citizen be advanced.
The citizens of Oklahoma, young as
the territory is, as an organized COM
munity, have had sufficient expert
enee in these matters To know where
their interests lie. The matter is at
once resolved into the plain, simple
query; Shall we further experiment
with Populism and stagnation; con-
tiuue the reign Of Republicanisn and
spoliation, or shall we entrust the
management Of our public affairs TO
the hands Of capable and Trustworthy
Democrats aEd thereby insure honesty
Of administration and an era of pros
perity? II is business proposition
and addresses itself directly TO every
good citizen and taxpayer. There can
be but one honest answer.

March 4. 1889, Cleveland's first term,
the exports Of golda mounted TO $685.,
ss4,54i, and the imports Sis 3os ore;
while from march 4, 1889 TO March 4,
is9a. Harrison's term, the exports of
gold amounted to s252 SOS 557, with
imports of S4,sls,754 la other words.
during Cleveland's first term the inn
ports of gold exceeded the exports 10y
s22, 7ss. hss, while during Mrs. llarri-
sons ;erm the gold exports were $751;
$50, 500 greater than the imports.
And IN the face of such state Of
facts Republican apologists would
have the people believe that the fnan-
cial and business troubles of the past
two years are mainly the result of lack
of confidence in the ability of the
Democratic party to manage the ma
tion's finances in a judicious and
proper manner.
with the exception of the first year
OF the Harrison administration, which
was in some respects prosperous as a
result of the great impetus given to ii
10y the four preceding years of sound
economical administration under Mr..
Cleveland, the former was that Of fa,l'
ing revenues, increasing expenditures
and a heavy flow Of gold from the
country.
The want of confidence, therefore
did not originate with the incoming OF
the present administration, but wal
the sequel to the depression that wa'
born, gathered strength and started
upon its course of devastation anC
ruin during the Republican admins
tration of BENZ Harrison and gaineC
such velocity that Mr. Cleveland ant
his able secretary of the treasury wer
unable TO at once stay its progress.
When all the facts and circumstance
are considered it is rather cause 70
wonder that greater disaster has no
followed .ho reckless incompetency o
the Republican party to administe
the affairs of government in the inter
est of the people, and that the Demo
Gratis have been able to accomplish S
much Of reform in so short time

EVERY day brings the gratifying
and reassuring announcements from
the great industrial and commercial

ness and manufacturers preparing for
period of prosperity which the read
justment of the tariff and cheaper raw
materials certainly assure.

AN ANOMALY IN COINAGE.

The Secret Service men OF the
Treasury Department are eDdeavor
ing to locate private mint at Oma-
ha. 1t is believed that the mint
has coined over half a million stan
da-I dollars. These dollars contain
the same quantity of silver as the
genuine dollars and it is almost i'm
possible to distinguish the difference
between them and those coined at
the United States mint. The profits
are large, as the silver in the dollar
at the present price of bullion does
not cost over 30 cents.
There is very effectual method OF
suppressing such mints as that sup
posed to be at Omaha, If the Gov
eminent will open ths minis for the
free coinage of silver, there VIII be
no profit in making dollars contain
ING 412I grains of standard silver on
private account. IL vii! give en-
nloyment to thousands now III en-
forced idleness, advance the price OF
all products and enable people 10 pay
their debts. If Europe does not
want such dollars aud will not ex-
change its products for them, so
much the better for the United
States. What the people want is
money that will circulate at home,
not money that Europe desires to
exchange goods for. Such money
would 90 more to keep foreign pro-
ducts out of the country,and to build

tectiye tariff laws ever enacted, but

mously opposed 70 an American
financial system. Carnegie and his
kind. who have become millionaires
in few years under the high tariff
system, want money that they can
