What the Party May Expect of the Next
Candidate In This District.
7otAs kdaor Or ne Register;
SR:-The time fast approaches when
the Democracy OF the First Con-
eressional district will place In nomi-
nation a standard bearer for this i'm
portant position. That nan should be
3 man vhO stands sQuarely upon the
principles Of the party as laid down In
the Chicago platform, aud one who will
stand up as an advocate Of those prin-
ciples without deviation or faltering
through all vicisSitnGes. We want
man who can corral the party and
win its full measure Of strength. The
tariff, no doubt. will be a law before
the sitting OF the convention, and 10
that extent disposed Of, but we want
man who will stand by the issue
until every vestigs OF MCKinleyism
is wiped out. We want no tariff
that taxes the industries OF
this country 10 the interests OF trusts
and mouopOlies. We must have man
In favor OF an income tax, so that the
revenue thar arises from this source
will enable further reduction o. tarlu
taxes and hasten the day when this
tariff taxed, monopoly bound people can
burst aSunder the CALLING yoke OF NC
Ktnleyism AID lift them 70 their Ieet
and start them once more on the broad
road 90 prosperity, as did the Walker
tariff of 1916. We want man VINO Is
in favor of b.meta.ism, and not only OIL
metalism, but who tavOrs the repea' OF
the acts Of 1873, demOuetizing SlINeT
s1d a return % tue principles or the
rartv from 1892 20 1873 upon
mis- Question. Silver was MADE
tho unit OF value and regulated
tbe value of each coin IN the begin
ming. and was so maintained down 70
1s-3. when gold became the unit oil
value. and as such is accountable In
GREAT measure. for the present low
nrfcas OF farmers products aud wages
OF workingmeD throughout the cOun-
trv. The single standard has oeen
failure from the beginning. As soon as
tbe governments of Europe and the
United States destroyed, by adverse
legislation, the money value OF silver, IL
hogan 10 decline In price, and in sym
Datny with this the price OF farm pro-
ducts began 20 20 down also. james
Chart No. 8. shows that In 1872 the av-
erage price OF silver was 81 % per
ounce. and the average price Of wheat
was 81 90 per bushel. For the year
ending 1850, silver averaged 81 pa
Uer ounce, aud wheat 81 10 per bushei.
For the four years ending lSS+
silver averaged 81 10 per ounce,
and wheat 81 06I4 per busheI.
During the next four years silver
dropped 90 an average Of 96 cents per
ounce, and wheat followed 10 So Is cents
per busheL The average price OF Sill
yer for the next four years, ending 1872,
rose 70 9s cents per ounce, ana wheat
went up % goo cents per bushel. In
June, 1898. the minis OF India were
closed 90 silver, aud the price fell 70 o.
cents, and wheat followed, until, In the
growers hands In Ohio, the birth place
OF high protection and the place that
originated the downfall OF silver, IL was
worth at one time but IS cents per
busheL Since 1892 we have had some
large aud some small crops Of wheat,
but the law OF supply aud demand has
awaited nothing, the price OF silver has
ruled the wheat markets OF the world.
The West and South see that restOra-
tion of silver 20 its former place as
money must be done, ii the farm
. er is 20 have prosperity. We
can't stand idle and let this
greatest OF American industries Iay
in order % help a.iew gold Spectators
who would doom this nation for mess
81 p0tage B. 10 was favored with gold.
Btmerausm can't be ignored any longer,
nor will those who sueer and bellJtie
those who advocate 10, be permitted 10
dictate, that she great majority shall
submit 20 be led by minority who ig-
more this principal when placed IA
power. N.ue-teUths OF all the people
demand b.metaiism, silver aud gold as
money, made so upon basis OF l6 20 l
and each 20 have debt paying qualities
the same Both 20 De received and paid
ous by the treasury OF the United States
upon any deb,, or demand, or for any
purpose az the full value of either coin,
aud payment in either coin % be optional
with the treasurer, one 10 be the equal
of the other in debt paying
qualities and with discrimina-
zion as 20 legal tender
qualities. We want a man who fsyOrs
the repeal OF jhe State bank tax aud
VINO iavors some system that prevents
the people from being taxed for their
own money. We want a man who
favors laws restricting immigration, 50
as 90 preventa further influx of people
who never become citizens and who are
here TO depress American labor and
thus destroy the honor and dignity Of
the men who are the backbone OF the
whole country. a man who
will stand square upon all these
doctrines, all OF which are
part and parcel of the platform OF 1892,
aud which have formed the bulwark OF
Democratic principles since the days OF
its earliest dawn, can be elected ia the
First Congressiona, district this fall.
The least taltering or waving will turn
him down, because the people would
rather be defeated than represented by
traitor or wolf In sleeps clothing.
