A NUT TO CRACK.

Twenty years ago a Mr.. Taylor bor-
rowed SO, 900 from Mr.. Morales, living in
Monterey, Mexico, and at the same time
he borrowed $4,000 from Mr.. Smith, Of
Birmingham, England. Both of the
men were in this country at that time,
and gave Mr. Taylor checks for the
amount, and he agreed to pay the money
back in twenty years; Mr.. Morales to be
paid in Mexican dollars and Mr.. Smith
in legal tender of the United States. Mr.
Taylor was farmer and his main crop
was wheat, and at the time he borrowed
the money, 1866 bushels Of wheat would
have paid off either of the debts. But
he found this year, at the prevailing
price of wheat, while ho could pay off the
debt to Mr.. Morales, the Mexican, with
the same 1865 bushels of wheat, because
he could pay 1t Off with 81 900 in Ameri-
can silver dollars, he has got to raise 8, 332
bushels of wheat to pay off the same debt
to the Englishman. Now, in whose
favor was the legislation that requiresMr.
Taylor to put in twice as many days In
labor, and to give twice as many bushels
of wheat to the Englishman as the Mexi-
can? 1t will not do to say that improved
machinery Ia the cause, because improved
machinery did not double the dollars on
the Englishman's note.

HENRY cLEws FEELS EASIER.

Henry Clews is not SO much disoour-
aged as at first, even If free coinage is
gaining ground. He says;
During the past week, affairs in Wall
street have shown steadier tone. The
action of the banks in strengthening the
Treasury reserve and Of the foreign bank
ers in combining to prevent the export
of gold have at least had the effect of
assuring timid people who feared some
Immediate catastrophe. This irterven-
tion has broken up the demoralizing ap-
prehension that was assuming more or
less serious dimensions. People are grow
ing oalmer, and are therefore disposed to
weigh the facts of the situation more
dispassionately. AS the influence of fear
abates, the conviction gains that the pub
lilo apprehension has exceeded what the
facts of the political situation really
justify; and to that extent there is a
recovery of confidence and an indisposi-
tion TO part with securities hastily"

GOLD ORIGINS STILL HowLING.

The financial plank of the Democratic
national platform has been berated by
many of the hide-bound monopoly or
gans of the country as being revolution
airy and oommunistic, The writers Of
these inflammatory articles either did
not know whereof tfey spoke, or wilfully
misrepry ented the facts to their readers
We present below the financial planks Of
1899 and 1896, and any intelligent reader
win be able to see that both are for BIZ
metallism;

both gold and silver without discriminat-

LET THEM BEWARE.

The Ohio Democracy cares not whether
the bolting Democrats start a third ticket
or not.
If they wish to lash the people to fury
they will do SO.
Every slip in that direction makes 1t
plain that the goldites are combining
against the people.
The challenge will be taken up by the
toillng masses Of the American people. 1t
will trlng thousands Of patriotic Repub-
licans to the standard of the honest
m oney of the constitution.
just as ths inonarohists inoited the
French revolution, SO are bloated monopo-
lists determined to make war ON the
American people.
Let them beware The storm Is gather
ing. A glorious victory for the people over
the goldite combine In November Is AS
sured.

Ing against either metal or charge for
mintage, but the dollar unit Of coinage
of both metals must be Of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be adjusted
by such safeguards Of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity Of
the two metals, and the equal power Of
every dollar at all times inthe markets
and inthe payment of debts.
1895 Platform-we demand the free
and unlimited coinage Of both gold and
silver at the present legal ratio of 10 to
without waiting for the aid or consent
of any other nation. We demand that
the standard silver dollar shall be full
legal tender equally with gold for all
debts, public and private, and we favor
such legislation as will prevent in the
future the demonetlzation Of any kind Of
legal tender money by private contract
The financial plank In the platform
was all right, and while 1t was being
agreed to in the committee on resolu
tions, the Southern and Western dele
gates were assured by mp. Whitney that
IL meant bimetallism. The only trouble
the silver men had to find with 1t, was
that 1t was not carried out. No consci-
entious citizen can truthfully claim that
silver has not been Disseminated agsinst

upon him he responded very eloquently
about honest money, but he failed to
state what honest money is. What they
want is for Major Mckinley to say, that
honest money means gold, and that the
Republican platform is the only honest
money platform in existence. Nothing
short of this will satisfy the Eastern
people, and an evasion Of the question
might imperil some of the Eastern states.
A candidate Of great political party
cannot afford to desert the platform.
There is but one thing for the Major to
do, and that is, to come out frankly and
say that the only honest money we have
Is gold. Then will the Eastern people be
satisfied and shout lusty hurrahs for him.

AS GOLD APPRECIATED DEBT IN
CREASED.

In this great country of ours, there
has been only one product that has ad
vanced in value during the past twenty
three years-gold.
All other products. according to the
estimate of the New York Mercury,
have declined from 25 to 80 per cent.
1t is stated that they have declined
because Of reduced cost of production or
increased competition.
There has been an production Of
only one thing during :the past twenty.
five years-debt.
1t has not alone increased out Of all
proportion, but it has multiplied itself.

EASTERN REPUBLICANS BEcoM-
ING ALARMED.

The New York Dispatch, gold stand
ard Republican newspaper, in a recent
issue, sounds the following alarm in the
Republican camp:
"The free silver craze is rooted in every
nook and corner Of the country. 1t is
stronger In New York City than any
place in the Union. 1t Is strong in the
New England states, supposed to be
solidly for gold. Let us face the facts.
The gold plank to the laboring people is
the plank of the classes. The Republican
party never in its history had harder
struggle before it than 1t has today to
elect Mckinley on a gold plank"
The Republican gold plank is the plank
Of the classes, and its adoption is intended
to increase the wealth Of the rich at the
expense Of the masses. But the people
are awake to their interests and will vote
for the restoration of the free coinage of
silver, and the restoration of values of
land, labor and produce to where 1t was
prior to the demonstration of silver at
the instance of the money power.

YOUR HAT.
Paste This In It and Show 1t to Your
GOldbug Friend When You.
Meet Him.

The following is an editorial from the
London Financial News (gold bug):
"There is plain moral in the remark
that IL the United States would venture to
cut herself adrift from Europe and take
outright to silver, she would have all
America and Asia at her back, and the
command of the markets of both conn
tries. The barrier of gold would be more
fatal than any barrier Of a custom house.
The bond of silver would be stronger than
any bond of free trade. There can be no
doubt about it that If the United States
were to adopt a silver basis tomorrow,
British trade would be ruined before the
year was out. Every American would be
protecte1, not only at home, but in every
other market. OF course the United States
would suffer to certain extent through
having to pay her obligations abroad in
gold, but the loss of exchange under this
head would be mere drop in the bucket
as compared to the profit to be reaped
from the markets OF South America and
Asia, to say nothing of Europe The
marvel is that the United States have
not long ago seized the opportunity. 1t
has been a piece of luck that it has never
occurred to the Americans to scoop us
out of the worlds markets by going on
silver basis, and 1t might serve us right
If, irritated by the contemplate apathy of
our government toward the silver problem
the Americans reUaliated by freezing out
gold 1t could be easily done"

The gold standard organs say that II
Bryan is elected, six hundred millions Of
gold will at once leave the country and
thereby contract the currency. Do not
the people remember that similar threat
of a flight of gold was made for the
Bland act Of 1878. President Hayes was
urged to veto it, but congress passed it
over his veto. Instead of a flight Of
gold, as had been predicted, we gained
by importation s4,OOO,OOO the first year,
$40, 900, 900 the next and 800, 100000 the
third year. During the twelve years that
the act was on the statute books we gained

JOHN n. CLARKE BOLTS.


The News. Democrat regrets to an
nounce to It's readers that Hon. John H.
Carke has written an open letter to the
editor Of the Youngstown Vindicator, In
which he declines to support the nom.
inees Of the Chicago convention. He is
not go much opposed to the candidates as
TO the platform upon which they stand.
He objects TO three planks in the plat
form-anti civil service, the denounoing
Of arbitrary interference by federal au-
thorities in local affairs, and the monetary
plank. We think we can read between the
lines Of Mr.. Clarke's lettcr that the money
plank was the straw that broke the
oamel's back, for however serious may
have been his objections to the federal in
terferenoo and anti OWL service planks,
he would have still submitted, had not
the convention adopted platform favor
ing the free, unlimited and independent
coinage Of silver.
Mr.. Clarke is gold standard man by
conviction, and no is Just as honest and
sincere in his ideas as David A. Wells.
Let no one, then, in the heat OF passion,
accuse him Of dishonesty of purpose.
That he is unselfsh in the matter Is evil
denced by the fact that while he is the
owner Of silver stocks which would rise In
value as soon as the mints are thrown
open to silver, he is still opposed to its
free and unlimited coinage because he be-
lieves that the country would prosper
better under single gold standard.
He has always been an unflinching
democrat, and until this year, never
failed to lend his aid and influence to the
Democratic cause He has been of great
service to the Democratic party, not only
in his district, but in the state. In the
forum and upon the hustings he has been
an orator of few equals and still fewer
superiors.
No one who has ever encountered Mr.
Clarke will refuse him the respect which
his conscientious and fearless discharge
of public duty challenges of all men, friend
and foe alike. The Democrats of Stark
county recall his magnanimous stand at
the Springfield convention in 1895 In
favor of the Cuyahoga county free silver
delegates, when they were outraged by
a nerciless credentials committee. AL
though he was Numerically opposed to
their sentiments on the money question:
he took the floor of the convention and
with all the fervor OF his superb elo-
quence, he besought the gold men not to
override justice because they happened to
control the convention. He is bold, dash
Ing, resolute, and full of resources he Is
a valuable friend and dangerous foe
We say this all the more freely because we
think he has made an irreparable mistake
in opposing the election of Bryan and
will mourn his error before the summer
is over; but as ho owns himself, we pre-
sumo he best knows what he is about.

WHAT BAIT is BEST LIKEC
Prospects Good for a Successful
Season as Soon as Warm
Days Come-Streams Where
Trout Are Plentiful.

The jolly fishermen have been getting
out the tackle. rods and reels, flies and
'creels and for week or 10 days past
have been ready for warm. bright sun
which will tempt the finny tribe to ac-
tivity. which will make fishing good.
During these cold days the trout are in
the deep holes and keeping quiet so that
II Is very hard to coax them out with the
most tempting of flies or the latest OF
worms.
The disciples of Walton are prepared
for the season, which will come with the
first warm. sunny day. The twisted lead
ers have untangled, the fly book been re-
plenished. the rubber boots and leggings,
put where they will be ready at hand
when needed.
The matter Of bait is a subject for dis
cussion wherever the fishers congregate
Some prefer the dark fly, the coachman
or brown hackle, while others use moth
Ing but good fat grub or a periwinlxle,
while some equally successful lure their
catch with a red chunk of beefsteak
which is said to be a sure and substan-
uai bait. 1t is always a good idea to have
small steak along anyhow, so they ar
que, for. in case of emergency or bad
luck, 1t is very appetizing after three or
four hours of fishing and any tyro of a
cook can broil 1t to suit hungry man IL
not as 1t would become the supper table
at home.

ably Race Track and Dempsey creeks are
the most popular for short excursions
