Col. Robert G. IngersoH took a turn
in his Chicago speech at the definition
business and declared that 16 to 1
means that there will be 16 men to 1
dollar, which, strange to say, his audi
ence applauded, and which goes to
show that Pagan Bob knows as little
about finance as about religion. And
SO on to the end of the long chapter of
fables-for I will call it by no harsher
name. Each orator appears to give a
definition by which he hopes to catch
some unwary voter.
1t means none of these things. 1t
simply means that for money pur-
poses one pound Of geld equals 16
pounds of silver; 1 ounce of gold
equals 16 ounces of silver; 1 grain of
gold equals 16 grains of silver.
We say this for the reason that that
was the law from 1887 to 1873, under
which we prospered and grew as no
other people ever did prosper and

ponder but one political issue at one
time. All history and experience prove
this.
Parties hold conventions, formulate
long platforms and incidentally touch
upon every controverted point of
governmental conduct; but at last in
each campaign the people select one
from out the mass which they fix
their attention on and by tacit con-
sent postpone all others to a more
convenient season.
In 1892 no audience would have lis
tened to any man discuss the money
question except as a matter OF cur
iosity to learn his style of oratory.
They made up their minds to have
the tariff discussed and it was more
capably and thoroughly discussed that
year than at any preceding time, per-
haps o 30 than it will ever be
again. This year no audience would
listen patiently to any man discuss
the tariff. The people have made mp
their minds to have the financial
question discussed and it is being dis
cussed in every hamlet and by every
h~earthstone in the land. If the pol
iticians could have their way the
tariff would again be the issue. But pol
iticians do not makeissues The people

Not long ago Tom Watson COM
planned Of the treatment the Bryan
press had accorded him. He said 1t
had abused him and questioned his
motives.
Mr.. Watson has no cause of COM
plant. On the contrary he has every
reason to feel grateful to the Bryan
press for the distinguished considers
ton Il showed him. The worst charge
any Bryan newspaper made against
him was that he was willing to sxcri-
noe the cause for which he expressed
90 much devotion to further his own
ambition; that he was willing to N
danger the election OF the Presiden-
tial candidate of his party in order to
force himself on the Democratic
ticket.
But no Bryan newspaper accused
Mr.. Watson Of using his position for
pscuniary gain; yet it appears from
evidence In the hands OF the Populist
National Committee that Mr.. Watson
has done this thing. HIS attacks ON

cidentAlly on Bryan, ostensibly in de-
fsnss Of the Popuiist party and prin-
ciplest and his impassioned appeals in
behalf Of the Populist organisation ~

wisely takes away from us the right
to coin and confers upon the Govern
msnt the sole right to coin money
and fix the values thereof and if we
undertake to exercise our natural
right to coin, we are arrested and
sent to the penitentiary. Govern
ment monopolizes the right of coin
age in order to guarantee the weight,
fneness and uniformity of III coins.
By monopolizing the right to coin
money, the Government assumes the
duty of furnishing the people with
enough money to transact their bust
ness. That is a proposition too plain
to require argument.
By unlimited coinage is meant that
any person shall have the privilege of
taking any quantity of gold and silver
bullion to the mint and have in coined
into money and handed back to them.
The owner of gold bullion has that
same right now. We demand the
same right for the holder of sill
YER bullion, not for his good only, but
for the good of all our people-aye,
more, for the good of the entire hui
man race.
By Independent coinage is meant
that we propose to go into the free,
unlimited coinage business on our own

ONE Of the very strongest Demo-
cratic newspapers in the country ia
the New York Journal, which 10 emil
nently correct in the following:
"There is nc more reason why
Americans should not honestly differ
about q question of finance than about
q question Of tariff. There is no more
reason for accusing the ordinary BIZ
metallist of being in favor of repudia-
ton and the dishonor of his country
than there Is for accusing the ordi-
nary monometallist of being in the
pay of Wall street and the Roths-
childs, and working to rob the debtor
for the profit of the creditor. Doubt
less there are selfish interests on both
sides of the controversy, but every
man who Is not o featnerhead or q
bigot knows that in the mass those
who are for the gold standard and
those who are for a return to the free
coinage of silver are equally convinced
that the policy of their choice is for
their country's good. To think other
wise would be to believe that the
average citizen of the United Statesi Is

bayonet; and now that we have grown
to 1000, 900, the flower and cream OF
the human race, unless we have de-
generated in an unspeakabie degree
from their standard of manhood, we
will not crave the consent of any other
nation on earth to make any sort of
money in any quantity we please.
What does is to 1 mean? Around
about this phrase the single gold
standard propagandists have created
a great fog.
Some of them say that it mean that
a silver dollar shall be is times as
large as it now is. Others try to ter
rorize the ignorant by declaring that
it means that one gold dollar shall be
worthi16 silver dollars. Still another
whispers in the ear of credulity that 1t
means we shall have 16 silver dollars
to one gold dollar.
Another says that when we have
free coinage a gold dollar will buy 16

CHAIRMAN BUFFERS CLAIMS.
A Majority of the Electors Held to Be
Now Absolutely Safe For Bryan.

NEW YORK, October 12.-Chairman
Butler, of the Populist National Com
mittee, has issued a statement which
lie in part as follows: ssThe fusion ar
rangements between the two parties
are now practically completed. Dur
ing the last week a joint electoral
ticket has been arranged in West Vir-
ginia by which the Populists get the
two electors at large and the Demo-
Gratis the four district electors. This
arrangement makes West Virginia
certain, while before the Mckinley
people were claiming the state. So
far, joint electoral tickets have been
made IN twenty eight states.
Information received at the head
quarters of the Populist party SO far
indicates that the following states are
almost absolutely safe, with the pros

wonderful question can be fairly an
swered by asking them, "Why not
have free coinage of butter az well as
of goid?" There is as much sense in
one question as In the other-and not
much in either. The only similarity
between silver and CORE is that they
are both white and between gold and
butter that they are both yellow.
Why have free coinage? Because
the money making function OF Gov
eminent is the paramount function.
Because the securing OF a sufficient
money supply for our people is OF
such vital consequence that every In
ducement should be offered for the
production of gold and silver bullion
and it's coinage of gold and silver, and
because all history shows that no peo-
pie at any time ever did have toe
much gold and silver money.

The threatening skies kept many
away from the big Democratic rally
in this city last Monday and Monday
night, but you can't scare Democrats
with clouds and mud. The great
event of the morning was the big pa
rade. 1t was q corker. Owing to the
mud, there were no paraders on foot,
but there were hundreds on horse
back and the long line of cheering
men was watched by large crowds on
all the streets around and near the
square.
The parade appeared shortly after
ii o'clock, headed by Major Ricketts,,
the grand marshal of the day, and
his staff, consisting of the following
gentlemen: r. P. Hopkins, o. @.
Davis, j. A. Lewis, Jap Stephens, F. A.
Sannebeck, j. r. johnson, Andy Har-
rison, Capt. Allen, viii Lee, Willard
Potts and Price johnson.
Then came the Bryan and Sewall
club Of Mexico, headed by the home
drum corps, and followed by hundreds
of mounted men, belonging to Bryan
clubs in the following places: Bea-
giles school house, Carr school house
Moline, Laddonis, Bolts school house
Liberty, Jackson, Benton City, Cant,
Beaver Dam, Black school house,
Bryan school house, Pleasant Green,
Rush Hill, Fox school house, Gate
wood, Skull Lick and Skinner. The
parade was 15 minutes in passing a
given point.
Several catchy and appropriate
notices were carried in the parade,
some of which were as follows: "Free
silver, free thought, free speech and
Bryan" "Bryan, free silver and pros
perity," "Wm. ]. Bryan, Is to /,
united we stand" "Clark and Vest
are our best men," One feature of
the line was a small negro boy on a
burro, dressed in yellow and carrying
a banner on which was "Here is l."
followed by old Clay Taylor, in a
white robe, on horseback, carrying
"16 is coming"
During the morning the Louisiana
drum corps and Mexico band dis
coursed excellent music from the
porches of the Ringo and Central
| Hotels.
SPEECHES MONDAY AFTERNOON.
Congressman John M. Allen, of
Mississippi, and Hon. Champ Clark
spoke in the afternoon, the the
Opera House and the latter at the
Court House. The crowds at both
places were immense. Not one per-
son more could have gotten in the
Opera House and likewise the court
room.
At the Opera House the stage was
crowded with ladies and prominent
Democrats and the programme was
opened with several selections by the
Mexico Band, followed by some splen-
did campaign songs rendered by a
number of young ladies from Benton
| City, who were enthusiastically APP
| plauded. Hon. w. Fl. Kennan then
introduced the noted speaker, and
when the famous Congressman from
Mississippi stepped forward the cheer.
ing was deafenlng. For nearly two
hours he held the vast audience spell
bound with his telling utterances and
his remarks were frequently inter
rupted by great cheering. The LED
GER is sorry to state that owing to the
fact that Congressman Aliens speech

between 1887 and 1878 we carried on
the Mexican war as well as the most
stupendous and wasteful civil war OF
which history furnishes an authentic
record, and we say it for the further
reason that after 5000 years ofhuman
industry greedy ambition and ingenu-
ity gold and silver are still dug out of
the mountains of the earth nearly in
the exact proportion Of 16 to /.
I hunted it up recently and I found
that the first year in which the rela-
tive quantities of gold and silver in
the world was ascertained was 1900
years before Christ and that the ratio
then was 1871 to /, and that in 340o
years the ratio has! changed only. 22s
points.
The gold standard propagandists
say we are inviting the people to try
a new experiment. That is not true.
We r inviting them to go back and
re-enter the broad, easy highway
travelled by our fathers, while on the
other hand they invite us to go chas-
ing jack-o'-lanterns and will-o'-the-
wisps into the sloughs and quagmires
of an untried financial system.
Mr.. Clark then took up the history
of demonstration and the various
acts connected Herewith and discuss
ed them in ali their bearings; also the
objections to silver coinage, which he
dissected merciIessly.
THE wND-UP AT NIGHT.
The big Democratic free silver rally
wound up Monday night with a torch
light procession and q speech at the
Court House by Hon. 6. B. ake,form-
erly of this city, who is now stamping
the State for Bryan, Stephens and free
silver, although he was formerly q
staunch Republican.
The torchlight procession formed
about I O'Clock and was participated
in by many mounted members OF the
Bryan clubs from various parts Of the
county who had not at that hour left
for their homes. It was quite q
lengthy a and the blazing torches
made q pretty sight John d. orear
was the marshal of the parade.
Hon. E. B. Cake was greeted by an
immense crowd at the Court House.
The Circuit Court room was packed
and the ovation that WA rendered the
speaker when he was introduced by

hook, without asking the permission
of any other nation and without the
assistance of any other nation.
1t means that this nation has come
of age, has attained its majority, has
cut its leading strings, kicked off it's
swaddling clothes and is old enough,
strong enough, brave enough and has
sense enough to transact it's own bus
iness in its own way without the con-
sent of any king, prince, potentate or
foreign nation.
OF course the ideal state of affairs
would be for all nations to go into it at
once, but judging the future by the
past that is not likely to happen. The
dream of an international conference
with anything approaching unanimity
has been rudely shattered and forever
dissipa.ed by the clear and unequivo-
cal declarations of Mr.. Gladstone and
Mr.. Balfour, the acknowledged chiefs
of the two contending parties in Eng
land, to the effect that Great Britain
will have nothing whatever to do with
international conferences. This being
true, somebody must lead in this be-
neficent work, and as we are the
strongest nation OF the globe, as well
as the largest silver producing nation,
we propose to lead. This is the port
of patriotism, common sense and hu-
mainly.
"Where Mcpherson sits is the head
OF the table" was the proud boast of
the naughty Scott; and stwhere Amer
lea sits 10 the head of the financial and

we propose shall hold good in all the
years that r to come. Solomon says
there is a time for everything under

I am not fool enough to make one this
in the year. But, whether In sea-
son or out of season. TO the timorous
Anglo-maniacs who say that we dare
not do this momentous thing alone, +
venture the statement that when our
100000 ragged back
woodsmen, made up their minds to try

permission or for an inter-
national agreement, bat with courage,

THE Democratic clubs in Audrain
County were well represented at the
grand rally in Mexico on Monday. If
the weather had been better there
would have been at least five times as
many people in Mexico but in spite of
the bad weather there was q large and
enthusiastic attendance. Clubs were
well organized and made q most
creditable showing, none more so than
the one from Moline.
