seem to demand more than superficial
treatment.
But now the fight is on. The silver
question Is the great question and
every voter wants to be informed on
both sides of it. The ADVOCATE has,
probably, the best and largest sssOrt-
ment of books and authorities on the
money question to be found In any
newspaper Office In the State, and we
ask attention of our silver friends out.
side the Populist party to this fact. A
three or four months reading Of the
ADVOCATE will be helpful to you.
Not only will you get matter without
asking, but you will be registered
among readers who have a right to ask
questions for personal information.
On every question of fact we can turn
instantly to the official record and copy
the fact as 1t there appears.
twenty-five cents will get the paper
till the election, and we feel sure you
will be satisfied with your investment.
You shall be treated kindly and fairly,
and all your questions will be answered
with the view of Importing the truth
as it is.
We all have our own private opin-
ions and are entitled to them. Some
times we become dissatisfied with
present beliefs, and we seek light, 80
that we may correct errors of judg.
ment. Most of us are in that condition
now. This is true especially of you to
whom this is addressed.
The sudden shock given by the gold
power to the liberal minded members
of the two great parties, has set them
to thinking along new lines. They
now are thrown upon their own re-
sources as never before. The gold
standard means much-Vastly more
than has ever been even dreamed Of.
What we now most need is cool, delib-
crate, unbiased thought on all sides.
The ADVOCATE will give you the
truth and do you good If you will but
admit it to your homes.

THE DEMOCRAT PLATFORM.

The platform of the Chicago conVen-
tion shows a wonderful stride forward
by the Democrat party. 1t has taken
bold and strong ground on new lines.
1t has abandoned such of its old doc
trines as the people passed long ago,
1t takes up present issues and handles
them we'll. 1t asserts that the "money
question Is paramount to all others at
this time," and 1t proposes to meet the
issue fairly and squarely by restoring
silver to its old place by the side Of
gold, and requiring that all paper
money used by the people shall be
issued, not by banks, but by the gen.
eral government through the Treasury
Department, which paper shall be ere
celvsble for all debts public and pri.
Vste." The party declares In favor Of
''such legislation as will prevent for
the future the demonstration Of any
kind of legal tender money by private
contract"
These declarations are far In advance
of anything ever before uttered by
either of the two old parties. There is
only one demand in this connection
that al Popullsts cannot approve. 1t
is the demand that paper money issued
by the government direct and "receiv-
able for all dues public and private"
shall be redeemable in coin. This is q
vicious and fatal doctrine. Everything
that circulstes as money among the
people ought to be full legal tender for
all purposes. No person ought to be
required to take any kind of money
that he cannot use In payment of any
debt that he may have to pay. All
money ought to be equally serviceable
for all purposes.
The platform denounces the demon.

THE DEMOCRAT NATIONAL TICKET.

Under the circumstances, everything
is in favor Of William J. Bryan, the
Democrat candidate for the Presidency.
To begin with, he is young. Parties
get old and fall behind the times. The
old ''stsgers" forget that the world is
moving. The time was ripe for a new
Democracy, and 1t came. With it q
young man bright, well informed, up
to the times, clean of life, poor, and
patriotic In every fiber. The youngest
person ever named for the high office
of President, he will be an inspiration
to the youth of the land.
The ADVOCATE knows whereof It
speaks. Mr.. Bryan lives plainly, clesnly
and uprightly. He is simple In habit,
industrious In work, honorable In act.
He has brain power enough to sppre-
ciate the responsibilities and the pro-
prietles of his exalted position without
losing his head or his memory.
Concerning Mr.. SeWsll, we know
nothing save what has been published
of him since his nomination for Vice
President,

etizatiOn act Of 1873, and demands free
and unlimited coinage of silver and

ernment's option to pay coin of silver
or gold; opposes selling interest. bear
ing bonds in time Of peace; objects to
banks issuing paper to be used as

tion be exercised by the government

ment of the powers of the Interstate

the contempt bill recently passed by
the Senate. The Pacific railroad fund
ing bill is opposed; admission of new
States is favored, free homes on the
public lands advocated, and justice to
OK Union soldiers recognized in liberal
pensions.
Never before did such things come
from any of the old parties. It is a
new deliVersnce, Godsend coming at
the right time. 1t rises almost to the
level of the tide. 1t will warm the
blood of the pesslmist and show to him
that there is life in the old land yet.
1t is great, grand rising of a party
that had been rent by vital differences
and driven well-nigh to despair.
So great a stride forward cannot be
retrsced. The psrty will grow now.
Its losses will be more than made good
by new and better blood. The ADvO
CATE congratulstes the new DemOc-
racy and wishes it a success and growth
that will bring it rapidly forward to
the advance guard of political reform.

A WORD TO SILVER REPUBLICANS AND
DEMOCRATS,

Until recently newspaper discussion
Of the silver side of the money question
has been limited almost exclusively to
Populist journals. Within the last
twelve months, and especially In Kan
Sas, some of the old party papers have
devoted q good deal Of time and space
to the subject. But 1t is within the
truth to say that up to the present
time such discussion has not been as
thorough as q student would desire, for
the uncertainties of the future did not

year ending May 81 last, to S29, ,927, 1862.
Thus within three years our net ex-
ports Of silver have amounted to nearly
$9O,OOO,OOO, and nearly the whole of
this has been sent to Great Britain"

tion into the discussion this year will

PRESENT DUTY OF POPULIsTs.

FhEOENT WDI1 UR TUX UDlOIOs
Events of the last four weeks have
so changed the political situation that
a grave responsibility has been sud-
denly thrust upon the Populist party.
The Republican National convention
boldly and plainly espOused the cause
of the money power-the most danger
GUS agency Of oppression which ever
cursed mankind declared that the
present gold standard must be main
tanned. That means war on the indus
tries Of the people; 1t means class rule,
oppression Of the poor-debt, poverty,
perpetual enslsvement of the masses.
On the other hand, majority of the
Democrat party have lifted themselves
out Of the old ruts and have grsndly
risen to q higher level. They have
joined issue with Republicans on this
vital matter and have brsVely taken up
the gauge Of battle.
The issue Is plain, it Is simple. 1t
will not, 1t csnnot be changed, and the
people are agreed upon It's meaning.
They understand it. The new Democ-
racy has espoused the peoples side,
while the gold Democrats, with their
great newspapers, are going over to
the Republicans, and there they will
stay.
Populists are confronted with grave
responsibility. They have votes enough,
when united with those Of other friends
of silver, to win this battle for the pe0.
pie.
The ADVOCATE is of opinion that
nothing now in sight should be per
mitted to stand In the way of such a
union. There need be no sacrifice OF
party principle, party pride or party
name. Let our National convention
resflirm the Omaha platform revised
and brought to date, and then, IT it la
deemed best not to name a ticket now,
appoint National committee to per.
form the usual duties of such commit.
tees, and to aid in carrying on the work
of the campaign In connection with
other like committees for the common
success, and recommend by resolution
that, wherever It is practicable, Popu
lists unite with silver Democrats and
silver Republicans on candidates fol
Presidential Electors, for Congress, fol
State Senators and Assemblymen, and
likewise, where advisable, for the usus
State offices.
Such combination would be practi
cable, honorable and effective. Lei
candidates be selected according to the
voting strength of the several parties
in the particular district or State. Ii
this way the entire silver vote of thr
country can be collected and put to thu
best use.
There is so little now between Popu
lists and the new Democracy that Il
does not seem unreasonable to expec
that that little will disappear through
conferences In future If we maintain
our party organization and platform o
principles.

three-quarters view of the lens Of the

close range. A drop shutter was attach
ed to the instrument, and an instantaneous

When the photographer had adjusted
himself to his liking, he picked up a big

near. cooked it and held the muzzle
against his right temple.

red push chair. The pistol fell with
clatter to the floor, a cloud Of white smoke
eddied up toward the skylight and slowly
dispersed and all was silent
An hour or two later the body of the man
was found There was the usual wild ex-
citement in the village, the constabes were
called. and then the coroner The camera
was showed out of the way. The verdict
was suicide by reason Of temporary insan-

The real reason is that nobody in Albany
wanted to be photographed, and that Miles
Pierce had no more money.
Yesterday the man who had purchased
the Photographic outfit found the plate
in the camera. He had the curiosity TO
develop It, When the image on the mega

that he let it fall and smashed the glass.
