BARBER COUNTY PLATFORM,

RESOLVED, That we renew our allegiance to
the Omaha platform, but at the same time we
recognize the fact that in the present condi-
ton of political agitation and under the
pressing necessities of the hour, that plank
of our platform which demands the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to
/ is the one around which the coming politi-
cal battle must be fought, and we further
consider that the plank demanding the aboli-
ton of national banks and the substitution
of postal savings banks, should be Joined with
for monetary and industrial reform; and
while this falls campaign is more or less To-
cal in its nature we consider it In part, prep
aration for the battle of 1895 ON the lines
herein set forth.
We arraign the present state administra-
ton for its wilful neglect of every promise
made to the people of this state; for its ma
tons at cost of tens of thousands of dollars
wrung from an already tax burdened popu-
lace; for its criminal violation of existing
law, in creating without cause deficiencies To
be provided for by future legislatures: for its
payment of private and personal obligations
out of the public monies; for ITS refusal to in.
vestigate grave charges against its own mem.
bers made by prominent men and journals
within its own ranks, and we assert that the
high functions of government is being pros
tituted by the present administration to the
base purpose of building up the managers OF
the republican party of this state.

WOULDN'T ALlowIT.

The Chicago Record, June 26, report
ed that man who mounted box and
began to deliver to tile crowd the Dec
laration of Independence" was stop
ped by a policeman. We quote the paper:
Here, here" shouted the policeman,
I'VE can't have that. You mustn't say
such things around here"
The speaker paused.
I'VE hung some fellows six or eight
years ago." continued the policeman,
flor making that kind of remarks.
And don't propose to have no Hay
market on the lake front, so you'll
have to move on. Come, get move on
you.'
And the speaker and his audience
were compelled to move in spite of ev-
cry expostulation.
And what do you think of that? The
Declaration is little anarchistic and
revolutionary, but it has come to Q
pretty pass when men are not allowed
to speak it. Itneeds to be broken and
force enough behind it to enforce it,
Coming Nation.

AMIsTAKEN IDEA.

There are some In this county who
are laboring under an erroneous i'm
preston regarding the vote Of Hon. T.
p. Wilson on the motion to table the
silver resolution In the House last win
ter. In order that our readers may
understand fully what that resolution
was we give it below just as it appears
on the house journal:
Resolved, By the House. the Senate concur
ing therein. that we request our represents
tives in congress, and instruct our senators to
use all honorable means In their power to re-
store silver to the position it held prior to the
decentralization act Of 1873; and be it further
Resolved that we are opposed to any change
of the present ratio OF 10 to l.
On January 30. Mr.. Lupfer offered
the resolution which is House resolu-
ton No. Is and it was laid over until
the next day under the rules.
The resolution was called up the
succeeding day and 1t was moved to
lay the resolution on the table which
virtually meant the death of the reso-
luton. The yeas and nays were taken
and the motion prevailed in a vote of
81 to So.
On this motion we want to state
positively that Representative T. P.
Wilson, of Barber. voted may" We
understand that few citizens of the
county claim to have seen a statement
in these columns during the legislative
term, to the effect that Tommy Wilson
voted in favor of tabling the resolution.
We assure each and every voter of
this or any other county that such a
statement never appeared in this paper
at any time; it is an injustice to Mr..
Wilson and a greater injustice to us
for anyone to make such statement.
We do not question the honesty of the
person or persons who make the state
ment but they certainly are mistaken.
We think the error is explained from
the fact that WILSON, OF STANTON
! voted for the measure and some must
have gotten confused as to the Wilson
who voted IN the affirmative. We
would have made the correction before
but we have just learned of the erro.
neous impression. All we have said is
a matter of record and can be seen by
examining the House journal of 1895.
All of the leading republicans of the
House, such as Speaker Lobdell, Eek
stein, Rorbaugh and Bone. Of Clark
voted in the affirmative, which goes to
show which party is friendly or hostile
| to the white metal.

Since 1878 there have been nine
epidemics of dysentery in different
parts of the country in which Cham
berlain's Collie Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was used with perfect success.
Dysentery, when epidemic, is almost
as severe and dangerous as Asiatic
cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of
the most skilled physicians have failed
to check its ravages, this remedy, how
ever, has cured the most malignant
cases, both of children and adults, and
under The most trying conditions,
which proves it to be the best medicine
IN the world for bowel complaints.

THE FARMER AND SILVER.
Wichita Eagle.l

The silver question is up for settle
ment and it will be, must be, settled
right. SILVER will fall into it's place
naturally once discriminating law is
lifted from it, law which in loading
down silver Frustrated the labor of the
country and deprecated the value of
everything under the sun, gold only ex-
cepted. All we have to do is to go
back to natural conditions. The pres
ent unfaYorable ratio of silver was
forced by conspiracy. Remonetize
silver and you at once restore It's value,
not only tho value Of silver but of all
property whose values were cut in two
by decentralization. The present pow
er-Yalue of gold is an abnormal one.
The railroads of this country have good
cause to remember the Granger move
ment, which was ridiculed and laughed
to scorn by Wall street. But two or
three campaigns brought the law-mak-
ing powers to time and today Wall
street deals in number of railway line
stocks known as Changers, what the
farmers and small dealers of the coun.
try accomplished then in the way of
railway regulation they can accomplish
now in the way of reinstating silver.
Yet if Wall street was to be believed
the 'silver craze''ls dying out. The past
| week the Farmers Alliance of North
Carolina discussed little else than sill
yer. lone hears little of the Granger
| movement" was once a bit of Wall
street complacency to be heard. But
the silver movement, like the old
Granger movement, Is, in the keeping
of farmers, surely in the way of obtain
ing national hearing and national
success. "Pooh, pooh, North Carolina
is only pitch tar and turpentine state
cries Wall street, with shrug of shoul
ders surmounted with gold epaulettes
But let Wall street wait and listen K
what North Cardinals congressman
and senators say next winter after theil
constituents in the Farmers Allianc,
have spoken at the ballot box.

Those who voted for Dick Blue for
congressman at-large because he was
free silver man can find ample cause
for ordering first-class kicking ma

at Parsons this week and made one OF

discussed the money question and op
