THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Democrats. of Stearns county met in
St. Cloud on Tuesday, and SO did the Popu-
lists, and as fast as the Democrats made a
nomination the Populists said: 'me too
While the two organizations didn't fuse into
one body, they fused,-that is the Demo-
Gratis fused and the Populists froze. 1t was
a cold day for them. Not one was named
on the fushion ticket. The old Court
House ring rung in the ring. Tom Murphy
was candidate for sheriff, and received but
! thirteen votes. 1t is, however, only fair to
say that he made no preliminary fight for
delegates, but had he done so the outcome
would not have been dif1erent-only he would
have had more votes. Frank Benolken of
Freeport took the plum, the man who
served personal notice on Murphy long
time ago that no Irish need apply at the
sheriff;s office in Stearns county.
Bertus Miller, the gentlemanly and eff
cient treasurer, was turned down for Due
Der, who has been out for the nomination
for dozen years.
A man named Cannon, who has been a
resident of Stearns county for less than a
year, is the nominee for county surveyor.
The Populists with rare generosity, gave
themselves away-they cannot be accused of
selling out.
And the ticket will not be elected. Some
will fall by the wayside, and long deferred
hope will be hopelessly deferred still longer.
DR.. DU BoIs made a very pleasant
speech last night to an audience of ladies
and gentlemen which comfortably filled the
City Opera House. Having begged two
false premises he reached false conclu-
sion: First, that all prices have fallen detre-
mentally since 1873, second, that such rise is
due to the demonstration of silver; ergo, the
way. to Iestore prosperity is to elect Bryan.
The address was more remarkable for what
it did not contain, than fop what it did. No
proof of premises were offered. and no foun-
dation for conclusion but the speakers fa:.
1t was remarkable fact that the assertion
made by him that he would not, in the dis
cussion, indulge in lying, not even white
lies, eliciled more applause than any other
statement he made. Next week the HERALD
will present an array of facts and figures for
the consideration of the doctor on the ques-
ton of the relation of prices to silver which
it finds impossible by reason of time and
space to give herewith.

DOES NOT QUOTE.
The Prices which the Farmer Pays
"A Detailed Statement of the
Decline I'm Prices of Things rhe
Farmer Buys-Mr. Bryan Does
ers to the Prices Here Quoted.

I notice one Of the opponents Of free
coinage said the other day that If the
farmer had suffered from falling prices
when he went to sell, he had gained
in falling prices Of what he went to
buy. That may all be we'll enough for
some one who is not a farmer to tell
O man who is a farmer. 1t would never
be told by a farmer himself.-Mr.
Bryan at Syracuse, August 20.
Mr.. Bryan was then preaching the
silver doctrine Of the So that should
have its purchasing power reduced, a
doctrine which he kept in the back
ground at Madison Square Garden,
where he promised that with free COIN
age the 53-cent silver dollar would at
once come to have value of 100 cents
measured in gold" and would thus be
merely duplication Of the hated ZAP
preciating So Of Wall street and Lom-
bard street,
But does not every intelligent farmer
know that there has been a great fall
during the last twenty-three years IN
the prices Of the things he has to buy,
and that the decline began before 1873?
We are not aware that up to this
time the press has published anv de-
tailed statement indicating the decline
OF the prices Of the articles which
farmers buy. The following table
shows, in percentages which represent
averages and have for their basis the
prices of 1860 (Which are marked by
the number 1907, the compared prices
of 1873 and 1891 in this country.

If the law of supply and demand has any
thing to do with the value of silver the IS to
dollar will be worth less than it is now, s.
cents. In 1884 the silver production in the
United States was 40, 200 ounces, in 1891 ii
amounted to 53,33o,ooo. The price then
1891, was 81 cents per ounce, the price then
began to fall and great many of the mines
shut down; but several million dollars worth
have been produced at much lower prices
than it was in 1891 and there is no doubt
that If free coinage ensues, the production
would be greatly increased and the >com-
mercial value would be decreased conse-
quently the actual value ofthe future silver
dollar would be hard problem to solve al
present.-Exchange

People who Will Not vote for Bryan

! Those who live by wages received
by their daily labor. They don't want
a 53-cent dollar. The more the dollar
is worth the better they ike it.
The men who live on ed salaries,
teachers, clerks, officials Professional
men and the rest. They don't want to
pay twice as much for what they buy,
while their salaries remain the same.
All those who are proud Of their
country aud want to save it's honor
from disgrace and it's credit from de-
graduation.
BY all, of course, we mean all Of
those citizens who are not deluded
fools or incurable cranks, and are not
lost in ignorance. But even when the
whole number Of such unfortunates is
allowed for, there will still remain the
vast majority of the people Of this
country. There may be men who pre-
fer the half to the whole. Drunken
men and lunatics will sometimes burn
their money. But some people prefer
to get all they can for their dollars
Hence, they prefer gold to silver.
The truth is, Bryan could not lead
to the polls a force of voters bigger
than Coxey's famous army Of tramps
was when it got to Washington, If hui
man society were not always burdened
with lot of stupidity put upon it by
Divine Providence. we suppose, to
keep it's muscles trained by the exer-
ton Of carrying the dead weight.
The more the people know of Bryan
and glis doctrine the less they will
want him and them. He can't stand up
against the popular common sense

what Kind of Projections

The popocrats, who were formerly
Democrats, have laid great stress upon
the contention that protection is pa
ternalisn,- that it protects one class
of producers at the expense of consum-
ers"
Now comes the popocrats with de-
mand that the governme at increase ar
bitrarily the value Of an ounce of sill
yer from 50 cents to $1.29, without any
profit to the state. for the exclusive
protection of the special industry Of
silver production.
The Mckinley idea of the tariff is
protection for all classes of labor in
this country, with a schedule Of i'm
port duties. that will make up the diff
ference between European or Asiatic
wage standards and the wage stand

enlarge. through reciprocity, the mar
ket for the products Of American

THE VIRTUE OF FRANKNESS.

The Mobile (Ala.) Register IS sup
porting Bryan for the presidency. The
Register is one OF the leadin. newspa-
pers in the south, and what it says is
usually read with the approval Of the
constituency, and perhs ps the extract
following will be. But will Mr.. Brvan
approve of the very plain and manner
in which the Register charges him with
political tenplude aud dishonesty?
Either the Register is ipsincere in it's
support of BrSan or 1t believes Bryan to
BE- inslncere in his candidacy. Here is
what tho Register says:
1.-THE country will be ruined if Mr..
Bryan is elected" We quite agree that
this will he so, provided the policy
enunciated by the Democratic convrn-
tion III Chicago is carried into effect; bnt
we do not believe that p~lcy will ever
find place or the statute hook. We
do not believe Mr.. Bryan himself, when
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1896-09-24

he is brought lace TO face With the pro-
bable consequences OF carrying out that
policy, will dare to do what he declares
on the stump shonld be done. Place
him in that position, where his word
will turn the scale one way or the other.
where the sole responsibility tor the
prosperity or the ruin of this great
country will rest upon him and him
alone, and we shall see him not hesitate
only, but turn back in alarm from that
great gulf which his intelligence will tell
him lies open before the business and in
dustry of 100000 OF people. Mr..
Bryan is no tool. His speeches as well
as his history prove him to be man
who is informed and who thinks. He
is now in the midst of campaign for
the highest office man can aspire to bill,
and he wants it with all his mind, body,
heart and soul. He believes he has
struck the right road to it, and he is
probably correct; but talking is one
thing and doing is another. The man is
not yet horn who has the ability and
talent that are sufficient to elevate him
| to the presidency OF the United States,
vet has not'sense enough to avoid doing
the thing that will endanger the safety
and welfare Of the republic"

A BUGLE CALL TO VOTERS.
Consciousness Of Bryan's Election,
as1Seen by n Democratic Paper.

CONSCIOUSNESS Of Bryan's Election,
as4Seen by n Democratic Paper.
Mr.. Bryan declared in his Albany
speech that he stood upon tho Chicago
platform and subscribed to every word
that it contained; but that he expected
the support of many Democrats who
Were not willing to uphold every plank
in the platform.
AS he admits at the same time that
the money question is the all-absorbing
one in this campaign, it is difficult to
understand how he can hope for the
support of those voters who do not
agree on this question with the plat
form and the candidates The
settlement Of the money question Is de-
c;sive. not only for the economical, but
also, for the political development Of
the country. 1t affects the foundation
of our social system.
The voters will cast their ballots for
or against Bryan in accordance with
the way they look upon the silver
question; it matters not what they
formerly were. The man who under
stands the significance of the money
question-it matters not if he has been
Democrat his whole life long-must
| say that party which in this way at
tacks property and industry stands
further from the traditional principles
of Democracy than heaven from earth,
and that sue. party has not the vest
| ige Of a pretensiOn to the support Of
Democrats true to those principles.
This Union could not longer exist if
such revolutionary party should get
control of the government; and it
would not deserve to live longer. Con-
ditiOns would then develop in which
might would be right The
form of republic might be retained,
but there would be social chaos; the
destruction of the institutions, howev-
er, would be the less to be regretted in
such a case, because the distinctive
tic-Republican spirit would be
gone.
The attack Of the Chicago conven-
ton, with it's sans-cullote platform and
it's sans-cullote candidates, on proper
ty and industry; the tone which the
ruling wing Of the party has adopted,
and which the speakers and newspa-
pers of that wing use in the campaign,
make tt support of Bryan by real
Democrats impossible.
1t is to be noted that Bryan made
the remark referred to directly after
his visit to- Hill. Probably the latter
told him that the New York democrats
could indorse his candidacy, but not
the Chicago platform; and now Bryan
wishes to pave his way for that. In
this move one appears just as bad as
the other All who understand the
significance Of such campaign, who
are not willing to expose the country to
the consequences of the revolutionary
element which conquered at Chicago
and forced Bryan on the Democratic
party-all these must work for Bryan's
defeat and use the best means to this
end.
Bryan stands on the Chicago plat
form, and would use all the power of
his Office to put it into execution. AS
president he would not stop at any use
of his official power. To make such a
man harmless is the first duty of every
loyal voter, immaterial to what party
he belonged to heretofore.-New York
