a REPUBLICAN DECLARATION FOR
GOLD.

Last Thursday the Republicans of
/ Maryland held their state convention
and adopted a platform containing
twelve planks in all. The first was a
declaration in favor of protection, as
was to be expected. The second one.
which is the one having the most in
terest for the west, was in reference
to the monetary standard and was as
follows:
'Second-That we oppose any legis-
lation which shall seek to create in this
country any other or different moneta-
ry standard than that of the gold dol
lar, or the issuance by the government
or by its authority or permission of
any form of currency except such as
shall be convertible into gold at its
face value by the holder thereof at his
pleasure"
That is as clear and distinct an ut
terance in favor of the gold standard
as 1t is possible to make; no construc-
ton can be put upon it other than that
it is a declaration against free silver.
There must be no redemption of cur
rency notes in anything but gold, no
mater how much that metal may ap-
preciate in value. By way Of showing
what all this means take the last bond
issue as an Illustration. Because they
did not contain the words payable in
gold coin," thebond syndicate demand
ed higher rate of Interest," and got it.
This meant to the syndicate many mil
lions of money. Could the finest hair
splitter say there would be any breach
OF faith or contract if those bonds,
principal and interest, were paid in sill
YER? Why should not those bonds be
paid in silver if it shall be to the great
er convenience of the government? But
the Maryland Republicans are opposed
to any such policy, or to the use of
silver as money of redemption. Some
where there must be some kind of mon
ey that is recognized by the law as a
money of redemption. That money in
the United States has always been
made of gold and silver And why
should it not continue to be gold and
silver? The declaration of the Mary
land Republicans echoes the sentiments
Of the Republican party of the nation
on the silver question. Whatever hope
the future has for silver it lies within
the Democratic party. The people
themselves win recognize this eventu-
ally.

DUTIES OF REGISTRARS.

The duties of the registrars are
neither difficult nor arduous, but on
the contrary are plain and simple, they
being fully explained in the instruc-
tons issued by the Utah commission.
And all those duties are to be per-
formed in a non-partisan spirit and
manner. What is the one great duty?
1t is to register all citizens who are
entitled to register and to make no
difference whatever between the ad-
herents of one party and those of the
other. A voters politics have nothing
to do with his rights, and it is with
rights that registrars are concerned,
nothing more There should be the
same solicitude to register one class
of voters that there is to register an
other. IL a registrar does not find a
family at home when he calls to reg
lister them, and that family chances to
belong to the same political faith as
them, he should do the same thing in
a like case with a family who may
differ from him in politics. Let the
registration be so fair and honest that
no one can find any pretext for say
ing that it was anything else. The
people have right to demand this,
and they do demand it. The registrars
will never deviate from the line of
their duty if they viii constantly bear
in mind that they are public servants
and not nolitical agents

WHEN WILL DEMOCRACY DEF

When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fishwornl swallows the whale;
When the robins knit woollen socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When sea serpents walk upright like men;
And doodle-bugs travel like frogs;
When grasshoppers feed like the hen,
And feathers are found on hogs;
When Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost on trees;
hen insects in summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze;
When fish creep over dry land
And mules on velocipedes ride:
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer,
And girls go TO preaching on time;
When billy goats butt from the rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When humming birds bray like an ass,
And limburger smells like cologne;
When plowshares are made out of glass,
And the hearts of true Texans of stone;
When ideas grow in Populists' heads,
And the wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic party will be dead,
And the country won't be worth On.

COSTLY FURs.

most costly. and each year, as it becomes
rarer, promises TO grow more so. Last
year as much as S1,10O was paid for
skin, and at a recent sale $1,050 was re-
allied, the lower price obtained being ac-
counted for by the skin not being so fine
as that sold last year, for the average
advance on these furs this year is fully
10 per cent Such fabulous sums for
skins, which at the most do not measure
more than two yards long by three
quarters of yard in width must natur-
ally awaken curiosity as to the uses they
are put to- So great, however, is the
Russians love of furs that $3.50 is thought
no extraordinary price for a noble to pay

WOOL EUTlEs AND MANUFACTU-
RERS.

The prediction of the tariff reformers
that the removal of the duty on wool
would not only add to the value of fieeces
but increase the trade of the manufac
ness are amply justified by recent events
Wages in the wooden and worsted indus
try of Rhode Island were increased ~
to Y per cent this month, the second ad-
vance in this state within three months,
and these advances were voluntary.
Equal improvement in wages was exper-
fenced by all other New England wooden,
worsted and cotton operatives notably
those at Lawrence Lowell, Nashau and
Manchester, along the Merrimac. These
signs Indicate anything but ruin to re

his work to stand on it's own merit and
not on personal endorsements of an adj

WOOL FIGURES AND DEMOCRATIC
PREDICTIONS.

The importations of wool for the year
ending June 80, 1895, aggregated 9Oe.-
lSS'se6 pounds. In round numbers the
amounts imported for the years 1890,
1891, 1892. 1899 ana 1894, were, respect
lNely, in millions of pounds. 1O5. 12s.
l4S' Ia2 and So. The great decrease for
the year 1894 being attributable to the
anticipated removal of duty. From
these figures it will be seen that the
imports OF 1895 were in excess of those
Oh 1898 about "a million pounds, an
average yearly increase of II million
pounds. or less than the average an
nudl increase under the Mckinley act.
democratic contentious concerning
wool are, first; That the highest prices
We're obtained prior to the imposition
Of a tariff; second: That a constantly
advancing tariff has produced a. con-
stantly diminishing price, and CHS de-
spite the fact that the wool cutput has
increased proportionateIy less rapidly
than the population; third: That wool
which reached it's lowest price under
the Mckinley tariff has constantly in
creased under the Wilson bill: fourth:
That all of the territorial wools-and
nearly the entire American product
are of low grade, useful in the manu-
tacture Of higher grade products only
when mixed with the superior i'm
ported article: fifth: That high tar
ms have made it impossible for Amer
lean mills to handle the imported ar
tfcle probably. thereby diminishing
the demand for the domestic clip. and
causing an unprecedented output of
shoddy; sixth; That the effect of free
trade would be to increase the demand
for and consequently the price of our
domestic product
These contentious have received and
continue to receive the confirmation of
experience.
The following figures show that while
the aggregate imports have been
larger under free trade than under
the last tariff yet the increase has
been in the high grade, non-competing
