would not allow the government to
borrow dollar to keep its notes from
going to protest; it promises nothing
in tariff legislation; it favors fiat
money; it opposes the maintenance
of law and order and of protecting
life and property by federal author
ity; it is ready to make war on the
great bulwark of safety, the supreme
court. It proposes to disrupt, tear
down and destroy. 1t offers no solu-
ton TO the problem of lifting out of
hard times.

Republicans must not lose sight of
the fact that neither gold nor silver
is the paramount question in this
great political conquest So far as
individual prosperity is concerned
the tariff is the issue. Where the
victory for tariff is sure, fortunately
the silver fallacy is defeated. The
democratic platform is bad in every
phrase and sentiment. It proposes
to break down the financial affairs of
the country; it means national dis
honor and the triumph of ignorance;
it means half pay on savings invest
ments, life insurance policies. PEN
sious, salaries and wages; it means
the triumph of socialism; it pro-
nounces in favor of repudiatine the

above. They beat Pops and Demo
Gratis in Nebraska in the same cleo
tion by 6,342, and expect to beat Bry
an this time. Iowa republicans out
voted Pops and Democrats by a ma
jority Of 38,25o; they expect to carry
Iowa this time. The Republicans de-
feated the combined opposition in
Kansas by 12,2O6. In several other
far western states the combined
forces were just about the same as
the Republican vote. The Republi-
cans expect TO carry West Virginia.

Do our voters have it fully in mind
that all the political work which tells
either way in Vermont must be done
between this and Sept. 1st. If they
are fully satisfied with the condition
of things as it is, if they believe that
the country is better off under the
administration of Bryan and his dem
ocratic and populistic following than
it now is, then it will be well to re-
main at home and let the election go.
But if there is a desire for better
things, let the voters come out and
say SO. Come out; bring the neigh
bors out and help make up majority
which will show that the people of
the Green Mountain state believe in
a change of things at this time.

BREAKING UP.

| If there was ever a time when the
old and spunky democratic party was
on the point of being effectively and
permanently broken up it is now. 1t
is rent in twain in several Southern
and Western states by populism, and
again divided on the silver question,
| while there is wide schism every
where on the silver issue. Forced by
| the riotous convention at Chicago to
adopt platform which is contrary
| to al the traditions of the party;
con soelled to accept a candidate
whola not one in four eastern and
old time democrats like; snarled up
! by platform planks that the best men
in the party would never have put in
! it; entangled by populistic notions
and influences; alarmed over deser-
tions by the hundreds, and by such
men as Whitney, Corkoran and host
of the best and most influential men
of the party; abandoned almost en-
tirely by the great and influential
papers of all sections of the country,
the Bryan -Sewall end of the party is
in great danger of being SO badly de-
feated as to result in lasting, if not
everlasting harm. The sound money
section of the party is getting into
line ready to bolt and put up new
candidates, not with any hope of sue
cess themselves, but in the desire to
protect themselves and the country
from the threatened dangers which
the silver populistic party have hung
over them.
Another thing has tended to alien
ate large number of honest demo-
Gratis, and that is the demonstration
of the fact that the Mckinley idea of
protection to American industries
through the tariff, shows by the ex-
perience of the last few years, that
protection is needed for the prosper
ity of the country. There ought not
to be enough of old party love to
let ones interests habitually suffer
for the sake of clinging to an old
party, which is divided and rent, and
which through it's two factions shows
that it is fighting for two things in
itself which are totally opposed to
each other-the silver and the gold
standard. Many of the best demo-
cratic citizens have come to that
place where they are deciding that
for the time being, at least, they
cease to follow in the wake of the
old party.

The temperance men and women
in Vermont must remember that it is
the republican party which upholds
the prohibitory laws of the State.
While few republicans here and
there denounce the law; and few
democrats in the legislature vote for
it, it must be remembered that the
democratic party, as party, oppose
the law. Read their set of resolu
tions this year, and find the same
denunciations in it, Even in Orleans
county, democratic politicians op-
pose it. At their recent county con-
vention, the chairman, an importa-
tion from Rutland county, took
occasion to berate the law and
those who try and enforce it.See to it
carefully that there are no candidates
selected and no combinations made
which will send high license man to
the legislature. Temperance senti-
ment Is too strong in this locality to
be injured by the insignificant few
who oppose the law. There can be
no doubt that the rum power in GER
tain localities of the State, assisted
by help from without, is striving to
break down temperance sentiment,
and ultimately enact high license
laws in Vermont.

Senator Allison of Iowa was in
Chicago recently on his return from
the East, and is prepared not only to
take part in the campaign in his own
state, but holds himself in readiness

s'Iowa will give one of her old
time republican majorities," said the
senator. ssThe news I hear from
there is most encouraging, in spite of
the big claims made by the free sill
verites. Iowa is not silver state,

silver men, The popocrats are max

The fact that the Canadian banks
and railroads are refusing to take
American silver coin, except at a dis
count, is an object lesson on the sill
yer question which the dullest silver
advocate ought to be able to under
stand. United States silver is COM
modify and it sells for commodity
prices when anybody chooses to say
SO. The Canadians have a right to
lose faith in our silver when one of
the great parties proposes to force
our own government into repudia-
ton.

The following will give some idea of
the combined strength of the Demo-
Gratis and Populists in the last cleo
ton in states where the strongest
Bryan vote may be expected. West
of the Mississippi river, Democrats
cast 443, ,7O4 votes; Populists, 551,-

vote exceeds republican, 6S,252. The
Southern states cast Democratic l.

975,Os7. Aggregate democratic vote
in the 20 states reckoned above is
2,046, $50; Populist, 1852, ,327; Repub-
icans, LOOP, ,165. The above states
have 231 votes in the electoral col
lege, and make a small majority. The
republicans expect to carry several of
these states and all not classed as

England has abandoned her claim
to Trinidad and acknowledged BraziPs
right to the island. The only ground
for her claim was the non occupancy
of the insular rock, and its convent
ence as cable station. She seized it
for the latter purpose last year, con-
trary to the protest of the Brazilian
authorities. Subsequently she offer
ed to submit her claim to arbitration
an offer which was promptly reject
ed by Brazil. The kind offices Of Port
ugal were finely accepted by both
parties, and the decision was in favor
of the South American claimant. One
more occasion for dispute is thus re-
moved. The British cable company
will be permitted to lease land on the
island for station.

The Democrats, or the Montpelier
Argus, have gotten out a circu-
lar which is being distributed in the
State, the material of which is copied
from the slanderous and unjust arti-
cles which appeared in the WdtchneG,t
in the pre- convention canvass. If
the circular emenates from the
argus Office, that paper ought to
acknowledge the paternity of its
offspring. If it is issued by the dem
ocratic party it ought to have their
signature upon it. Somebody who
gets it out is unfair in not giving the
answer which other papers give to
the articles which the Montpelier
paper get out. IF the republican
press is to be quoted it is fair to say
that almost every leading and re-
spected republican paper in the
State endorsed Maj. Grout from the
start, and that they all support him
now, unless it can be said that the
Wdtchman is not SO doing. Really,
will anybody acknowledge the pater-
nifty of the circular, ormust it go as
an unnamed unknown which the pub
Usher is ashamed himself to sign.
Anonymous circulars, like anony-
nous correspondents have no great

AS TO PRESS GEMS oRsHIP.


The editor of the Eagle has been the
subject of a couple of criticisms at the
hands of state contemporaries, not all
Unkinilv in spirit yet of an intent I'M
mistakahle. If these writers believe
there is dishonesty upon our part, that
we have either been bought, or have
sold. or that anything we have said
has been from improper motives, or for
the proffer of reward, directly or in
directly, or that we are Influenced by
any hope or chance of future political
preferment, or that in any way there is
a lack of honesty of purpose or any de-
sire to be inconsistent, let them say so,
naming the particular offenSe or derel-
iCtioa.
If public writer has a conviction
should he not state it? If he has ar
rived at conclusion touching the best
policy for his party, should he not, in
all fairness to his readers and in good
faith to his party, make it known? Be
lieving that there was another candi-
date for governor who would poll TWEEN
ty thousand more votes than Morrill,,
was it not a duty to our party to name
the man? Satisfied that no man could
be named who would bring so many
votes TO the ticket as Chief Justice Mar
tin. was it not our duty to say so and
future of this country, as government
of thu people, would be vastly benefit
ted by unlimited bimetallism. and that
gold standard at least threatens in
dustrial oppression, should we not have
so announced, and having fairly done
so. ought We now repudiate all former
| uuteranceS and swallow all our words
touching these individuals and these
measures, and only because our party,
in convention at Topeka or elsewhere,
saw fit to. or were pressed into an OPP
posite action? Believing that all the
gold and silver now In existence and
hereafter to be mined will be found
necessary for use as primary monies in
meeting the demands Of a rapidly de-
veloplng civilization, and so rapidly an
| increasing population. and further that
so far as unlimited bimetallism in
America is concerned that il viii be
first secured and made permanent by

ways been the parry of progression,
should We abandon that party for one
in whose tencts and principles we have
