cH1cAGo-L1FE OR DEATH.


The Democratic National Convention,
soon to meet in Chicago. will be a
struggle for the life or death of the
Democratic organization Of this coun-
try. No party can live in the United
States that turns with suicidal hands
against national honor and national
credit: and the decision Of the Chicago
convention for the maintenance Of the
gold standard Of honest money, or for
the Inauguration of the cheap money
Of the Pagan and semi-civilized nations
Of the world, must determine whether
the Democratic party shall make a
manly contest for the right in 1896,
and have a hopeful future, or whether
it shall die, dishonored and unlament-
ed.
While everything today points 10 the
control Of the Chicago convention by
the cheap money demagogues, there is
concerted movement, under the lead
Of ex-Secretary Whitney and others, to
make a heroic struggle to rescue the
Democratic party from utter suicide.
It is a grave and almost hopeless task;
but it is well worth the effort, and the
brave honest money Democrats who
are now struggling 10 turn back the
tide of agrarianism and anarchy must
deserve well Of the country, whether
they shall succeed or fail at Chicago.
II they shall succeed, the Democracy
will be a formidable political factor in
the present contest, aud a successful
party in the future. II they fail, the
Democratic organization will end its
existence, after nearly a century, dur
ing which it ruled the nation for more
then sixty years.
The Democracy has not a record or
a tradition prior to the present silver
craze that does not record heroic devo-
ton TO honest money. For the sixty
years before its decentralization by civil
war, it was the one party Of the coun-
try that taught and maintained the
gold standard Of value. and gold as the
money OF the country, TO which every
other form Of circulating medium must
be subordinated. 1t yielded largely TO
the greenback craze, and later has been
swept from its moorings in the South
and West by the free silver fanaticism
that is today organized against honest
values, against the rights Of property,
and that embraces in its slimy ranks
every shade Of destructionists and rev.
olutionists down to anarchists.
This is the issue that must be met
and determined at Chicago. Today the
chances seem largely against the sue
cess Of the right, but courage vanquish-
ed cowardiee at ST. Louis, and gave the
Republicans an honest money deliver

HEALTH DESTROYING vAPoRs,

Water impregnated with the seeds Of
malaria, produce incalculable misery
throughout vast portions Of the North
and South American continents. The
most effective medicinal defense
against these producers Of physical
mischief is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. Wherever the great endemics,
chills and fever. bilious remittant,
dumb ague and ague cake are preva-
lent, the Bitters is alike the chosen
preventative and remedy. In Mexico,
Guatemala, on the Isthmus Of Panama,
and in South America, no less than In
the United States, 1t has demonstrated
its superlative efficacy. and has receiv-
ed the commendation Of the medical
profession. It remedies rheumatic,
kidney and stomachic ailments, ner-
vousness and debility, and counteracts
tend eucy to premature decay and
the troubles attendant upon advancing
years Appetite and the ability 10 sleep
are both aided by it. Use 1t with per-
sistence, as it well deserves to be used,
and the trial win avail you much.

Independence Of Cuba.

From the hour OF achieving their own
independence the people OF the United
states have regarded with sympathy
the struggles Of other American peoples
to free themselves from European dom
inatlon. We watch with deep and abld-
ing interest the heroic battle OF the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston, and our best hopes 20 out for
the full success OF their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government OF Spain. having lost
control OF Cuba and being unable 70
protect the property or lives OF resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with It's treaty obligationes. we believe
that the government OF the United
States should actively use its influence
and good Offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island. ...

Mr.. Whitney's statement, appeal or
whatever it may be called, should carry
weight with those to whom it is par
ticularly addressed. the Democrats who
have been carried away by the elamor
for free silver Nobody doubts Mr..
whitney's patriotism or earnestness
or the sincerity with which he declares
that he is seeking and would accept
no honors for himself and the fact
that he has always professed a belief
in the desirability Of a double stand
ard ought TO command a hearing for
his argument against the adoption Of
the silver standard by this country. 1t
is unnecessary to discuss the probabil-
ities Of international bimetallism as he
presents them. for the reason that
those who believe a double standard
possible and those who do not are
agreed that the free coinage of silver
by the United States must mean mono
metalIism. AS Mr.. Whitney says, it is
not question Of desirability, but Of
ability. 1t really makes very little diff
ference what a man may think desir-
able If he recognizes what is possible.
and the special force of Mr.. Whitney's
appeal TO the advocates Of free silver
lies in the fact that they cannot dis
miss it as the interested argument Of a
gold bug" Whether they are amen
able TO reason at all remains TO be

ITO the assertion that no paper that
has any business or any idea Of ousi'
ness is in favor Of silver may be cited
the ST. Louis Republican. the salt Lake
Tribune and the san Francisco Chron-
icle. Probably they have as much bus
iness and as good an idea OF business
as any paper published in Oregon. -
Portland Tribune
For the reason that they have good
ideas OF business, these papers advo-
cate the free silver heresy. Ii is
nothing but a business proposition
with them. Assuming that thous-
ands OF their readers viii continue
to think the salvation Of the eoun-
try depends upon the adoption Of
free silver, these papers are advocating
what they know to be a mischievous
fallacy, solely to keep in touch with
these patrons. The Tribune states the
case correctly. and this is where the
business idea comes in. y. B.-The San
Francisco Chronicle has recanted and
is now out as a Republican paper.
