ing but biased story is to be expected
from the Republican organs in an excit-
ing political campaign like this, but in
many cases the Democratic papers have
printed the same falsifed figures as the
Republican organs. 1t seems that the
correspondents vie with each other in
lying and misrepresentation. Seldom
has there been worst prostitution of
journalism to the basest partisan pur.
poses.
Let us go back to the big day of Fri
day, Sept. Is, when the Cleveland Leader
said there was over 10000 strangers in
the city. Look at the improbability of
the story, 1t would have taken thou.
sand passenger coaches to bring them
here. 1t would have taken a solid train
over 13 miles long to haul them. There
are not side-tracks enough in Canton to
place the cars. And it would be an
absolute impossibility for the three rail
roads to haul that many people into
Canton in IL hours. When the Demo
cratic committee called on the 9. G. & S.
agent to make arrangements to haul
5000 people to Cleveland at the Bryan
meeting on Aug. 81, the agent told them
that they could not haul over 5000 and
then all coal traffic would have to be
suspe ended for the day. And after haul
ing train load after train load from early
morning until 4 p. m, they hauled but
2,S00 people. And the @. 7. & V. road,
which taxed itself to its utmost capacity,
hauled about the same number. Here
you have two railroads hauling people
out of Canton all day and only haul
about 5000. And if the Fort Wayne
road had assisted on that day to get the
people to Cleveland, she could not have
carried more than about 5000, which
would have made $4,000 in the aggre.
gate. And remember that it takes Just
as many cars and just as much time to
haul people into Canton as out. When
then, if ever, did the railroads haul co.
600 people to this city to see the Re-
publican candidate, Twenty thousand
people is liberal estimate for the mum.
ber Of strangers who were in Canton on
September IS.
The party organs also stated at that
time that there were 10000 in the tent
to listen to the speeches. By actual
measurement the tent from the outer
edges measured 100 feet in diameter. Now
if the tent was packed with people allow
ing Is square inches to each person, it
would not hold over $4,000 people, not
to say anything about the large space in
the one end which contained the ros,-
rum and the several thousand square
feet that was taken up in allies and the
benches. How utterly false then is the
story that 10000 people we're in the tent
when the seating capacity was not quite
all taken up.
We therefore would advise the parti-
san organs that honest journalism is
what the people want. Pulling the
wool over the eyes of the average reader
is not so easy as it used to be. For the
remainder of this interesting campaign
let them try the policy of telling the
truth. 1t pays in the long run.

and prosperity in all the land. The
foreign owners of silver could gain moth
ing from its coinage in this country un-
less they put 1t into circulation here, as
our coins are not legal tender any
where else. The silly statement that
the "Dumpers" could exchange their
silver for our gold, II true, means moth
ing, as such an exchange would not take
from us a single dollar and should every
dollar of gold be exchanged for foreign
silver, it would simply mean the putting
in circulation money which is not now
nor has it been in the hands of the peo-
pie for years.

Facts.
election day

Weeping Water, Neb., October 8, 1896.
Editor News Democrat: The follow.
ing telegram from Canton, Ohio, which
appeared In the thrice-a- week World, of
New York, August IA, is a fair sample
of the gold bug reports sent to Canton
from the West:
"A letter ts exhibited here from Bert
Critohfield, Of Lincoln, Neb., Mr.. Bryan's
home, to his uncle at Shreve, o. The
letter, shorn Of its purely personal portion
IL as follows:
80 The free silver craze is wearing of,
and a careful poll of the state shows we
will carry 1t. Bryan'a own ward in Lin
coin has $50 votes, and out of the number
about 4s0 have signed with the Mo.
Kinley club
90 Il am central eommitteem an of this
voting precinct, and Bryan has spoken
here four times In the past two years, and
left good impression each time, yet after
a complete poll we have 201 Mckinley
voters, 92 Populists and Democrats, and
13 doubtful. This Is the way 1t shows
over the entire state, and we will give
Mckinley eight electoral votes sure"
The above statement that Critohfeld
lives In Lincoln is an absolute falsehcod,
as he resides in E'mwood, Cass county,
Nebraska. He never did live In Lincoln.
Critchfeld's figures on Bryan's voting
precinct do not agree with some of the
Republican papers of this state as they
say there are only sO8 voters IN Fryan's
ward. He is not familiar with the poll
tics Of his county. as there are Republicans
who have mover voted for a Democrat
that are going to vote for Bryan and free
silver. Critchfeld's letter reads very
nice TO person not acquainted with the
facts. But we would advise his gold
bug friends to investigate the truth of
his statements before they believe them.
When the third OF November comes.
Nebraska will roll up majority of 90, 900
for W. j. Bryan and free silver.

THE SILVER "DUMPERS.y -

Said an advocate of the gold standard
few days ago: "Your silver iunatics
want to flood us with the silver of the
world and ruin u.s." How? We Judge
the future by the past. The lessons of
history are criterions by which to Judge
of the effects of any measure of public
policy. Thousands upon thousands of
volumes have been written, covering the
history Of mankind for nearly six thou
sand years, yet in all this mass of his
tory there is not page nor paragraphs
to show that any country was ever
ruined by food Of silver or otherwise
than greatly benefited by large influx
OF that metal.
A food of silver, now as in all ages,
would mean flood of hope to the dis
couraged, employment to the idle, food
for the hungry, clothing for the naked

In five states of the Union-Idaho,
Colorado, Montana, Nevada and Utah
the regula Republican conventions have
nominated candidates for electors pledged
to vote for Bryan and Sewall, but that
remarkable circumstance is not generally
known to Republicans in this section OF
the country, their party organs studiously
ignoring it. Mckinley and Hobart
tickets have, of course, been put in the
field by politicians with an eye for pos
sible offices in the future, but they will
cut no figure at the election.

They answer with billingsgate and ridi-

distant. The free silver clubs through
out the county are doing good work In
distributing documents, aiding the polls,
etc., and will further work in the same
line and in assisting to get out the vote.

Sir Archibald A llison, in his history of
Rome, says; "The fall Of the Roman
Empire so long ascribed, through ignor-
anoe, to slavery, heathenism, aud moral
corruption. was, In reality brought
about by decline In the production OF
the gold and silver mines Of Spain and
Greece" To make matters worse, silver
was demonetized, and gold mono
metallism established In the year 800 "a.

ended In ruin.

"The silver dollars now in use were
coined ON account of the government and
not for private account or gain. MO
Kinley's Letter of Acceptance.
The government will only allow the
coinage Of silver dollars under free
coinage because the people want them
and not because 1t benefits the mine
owners. The people want the silver dol
lars because they keep moving among the
people and are not boarded like gold.
