free silver since late in July, but
the editor Of the paper knows that
the local free silver campaign is
only scheme to secure votes, if
possible, for the Democratic
county ticket. The Herald does
not believe in the stuff it is print

silver. The public knows the
Herald does not believe in it, but
to refresh the public memory on
that point the Transcript today
reprints few extracts from the
Herald, beginning with the first
issue controlled by the present
management. The first extract
was part of the salutatory, and
the other items are from tn editor
ia} columns. Two of the articles
are quotations, but they serve to
show what kind of arguments the
Herald desired to place before its
readers. Such editorial express
sions were frequent, and we quote
only few, but show, we believe,
what the honest Judgment of the
editor is on the question. The
editor not only made his position
plainly against free silver coinage
at Is to 1, but several large six.
column supplements were sent out
with the Herald, prepared and
furnished free by the "Sound Cur
rency Committee" of the New
York club. These supplements
contained the most emphatic argu.
ments and statements against free
silver, and no paper would use
them unless it was earnestly op-
posed to free silver. Following
are the Herald's expressions:
WHAT The HERALD BELIEVES.
LITTLE FALLS HERALD, OCT. 4. 1895, ]
The Herald believes in free trade
as the ultimate commercial destiny
of the republic. 1t believes that
until the strongest barrier of
privilege-the protective tariffs
wiped away, but slow relief. can be
had from the evils which beset our
country. It would be impractic.
able to at once have free trade; it
should be attained by gradual re-
auctions in duties.
The Herald believes in sound
money. 1t cannot see how the
United States can safely coin silver
at ratio of Is to 1 without the
cooperation of the great CONNER.

According to the Herald the Demo-
cratic county nominees could run the
county in debt IN several different
languages. The Democratic party
is too much of a luxury tor Morrison

LITTLE SENSE.
LITTLE FALLS HERALD. MAY l. 1896. ]
Considered only from the side of
.expediency, there would be little
sense in the democracy adopting a
free silver plank. The eastern
states which the Democrats must
carry in order to elect their can
didate-New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut-are against free
silver. The loss of these states
states could not be made up by
accessions from western mining
states, which will likely be carried
by the Populists, if not the Re-
pubicans.

"a WORSE FOR THE LABORER.
LITTLE FALLS HERALD, MAY ~, lS?6.
One of the principal arguments
of free silverites is that wage
earners would get increased wages
under free silver coinage. But it
has been shown that even if they
did get more wages, the price of
commodities would increase IN.
such proportion as to make the
laborer worse off than before.

for Office every election since he was
brought to Morrison county by
Peter Medved, and he never yet re-
ceived his full party vote-except In

That position gave him votes
enough to elect him. He must take

In the town Of Little Falls there IS
a very exciting canvass on the coun-
ty authorship. At present every
voter in the township is supporting
Nichols for county auditor, and
there is considerable anxiety for fear
some man may by mistake place "a
mark after Kasparek's name. but
it is not probable, as the people or
the town are intelligent. Kasparek
will not carry as many precincts
this year AS his opponent did two
years ago. and he. will he defeated
by the largest majority ever given in
Morrison county. The people do
not have much faith in a man who
will be Republican aspirant for
office on Thursday, and ask Repub-
lican delegates to present his
name to a Republican con-
vention, and will then, :. the
same day, announce his conversion
to Popocrat principles and become
an Independent candidate for the
same Office. On the next Monday he
was given rhe Democratic nomina-
ton by George Geissei and the party
bosses. Such Hopping record is a
little too sudden. There Is some
thing about the free silver argument
that makes it strong to fellows who
want public office and can't get 1T
without taking up the free silver cry.
