what MIR. A. N. Nancy Has to Say on
the Election.

the Election.
Clerk of Council A. N. Manucy and
Supt. H. NJ. Lotion of the water works
returned yesterday morning from Al
lanta, where they have been for the last
several days, aiding their friend, Mr.. W.
w. Osborne, in his race for the solicitor
ship. Both were naturally feeling good
over the result.
''Mr. Osborne's election by such a large
majority is due to three things said
Mr.. Manucy to a Morning News reporter.
His personal popularity. the powerful in
iuence brought to bear by Mr.. duBignon
and the manner in which his friends stuck
to him. The manner in which Osborne's
friends stuck to him speaks volumes
for his character. and the fact that he
was able to gain the support of men
from all over the state shows his strength
with the men who control in the political
affairs of the state. Mr.. duBignon is
power in Georgia, although some people
in Savannah do not know it. If 1t were
not for the fact that he had taken his
position as a single standard advocate.
his election as United States senator
would be assured. AS 1t is, should Bryan
be defeated, there are many who think
that the legislature will be inclined to
regard a sound money man who STOOD
by the party with more favor than would
be the case should the silver sentiment
dominate in national affairs"

One l.. W. Aldrich, formerly of CanOya,
writes long letter to the Howard Demo-
crat from his Colorado home in which
he renounces his allegiance to the Re
publican party and comes out fat-footed
for silver. 0. NJ. Osbon, editor pro TEN
of the Howard P.ess, fills page in ans
wer to him. Both productions are good
reading, but principally as showing how
crazy. headed partisan can become.
Mr.. Osbon, for instance, lays all the pre-
vailing low prices to the repeal of the
Mckinley bill-until he begins to COM
pare the price Of silver bullion with the
price OF farm products through series
OF years-then it is short crop or an
over-supply that effects the price. He
evidently forgets that since the McKin.
ley bill was wiped out potatoes have sold
for $1.35 bushel and cattle have been
out Of sight and that 1885 gave us the
largest c,op Of corn, oats aud potatoes in
years. The GRAPHIC isn't stuck on the
free silver idea-as the Press know-but
we just want to ask MIR. Osbon a plain
question-in that man who writes
hve-column articles on the money issue
should be posted. il, as all Republicans
and others-admit the bullion in a
silver dollar was in 1873 worth about
$l.O3 in gold, why was silver demone-
tized?
The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1896-08-08

We learn from the press that "a pro.
tective tariff will stimulate employment
increase wages. strengthen investments
and stop the export OF gold" Then why
does not the protective tariff under
which we now live do all these thi as
we'll Gs it does some Of them? The Will
sen tariff is more highly protective than
any other now III force in any civilized
country. 1t is more highly protective
than any other we have known since
1858, with the single exception of the
Mckinley lSw. Why does it not operate
according to the program laid out by
our contemporary? Again. if protective
tariffs stop the export OF gold" why was
gold $50 heavily exported while the
Mckinley tariff-the highest ever known
was in operation? During the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1S9l-the first year
under the Mckinley law-our net loss of
gold was s63,130,O7. After two years
OF Mckinleyism the net loss during the
last eight months OF Harrison's term was
Sol,l44,lI9, The protective system" as
a preventive Of gold exports seems not to
have been in good working order. Again
during Clevelands first administration,
before McKinleyism was invented, the
country imported s54,772,OOo more gold
than it exported Sl22,624,OOo more gold
than it imported. Still again, Cleve-
lands first administration left $S7,s74,
422 of free gold iusthe treasury-gold in
excess of the S10OOOOOoo reserve. At
the end OF Harrison's term this was re-
duced to $9S7,0C0, and even that was
mortgaged for "held up" bills. History
and the figures obstinatelv contradict
the assumption that protective tariffs or
republican administrations tend TO
check gold exports or to keep the treas
ury;supplied with gold or to do any Of
the.good things so glibly claimed for
them.-N. Y. World.
