DIR. OTTO ARENDT, the German

attitude in blocking everything like in

'shYlock' standpoint was never pre-
sented with more brutal efronterY than
by uarcOurt. The American silver
party will find HarcOurt's speech their
best campaign document. A producer
who reads this speech and does not vote
for Bryan, cuts his own throat. In or
der to prevent some o. this moral sui
eide l quote few characteristic
phrases. Said the leader of the Eng.
lish liberals: England has been called
the land Of ShylOcks. Nobody who
was present will forget the memorable
speech delivered by Mr.. Gladstone in
this house on this same question, in
which he submitted to the worlds rldi-

THERE is occasionally an honest
banker, even in the Banks of England.
Here is what ore of them, Mr., Evelyn
Hubbard director in the Bank of Eng
land said recently; 81 imagine that l
have been asked to second this report
chiefly because the bimetalic league
count me, if not as prOfessed convert,
at any rate as a catechumen, and in ac-
cOrdance with an ancient custom am
called on to testify to my sincerity by
some public confession of faith. 1
started heavily weighted with the con-
victiOn that legislation could never pos
sibly fix the relative price of two COM
modlties which vary in supply. Ihave
become aware that bimetalism involves
the regulation, not of price, but of ratio
. Again, the insular argument was
not without weight. England, 1t was
urged, is great creditor country; all
the world is indebted to her in sterling.
If gold is appreciating, so much the
better for US. This particular milestone
fell from my neck. First, it requires
little consideration to see that it is not
only essentially immoral, but also self
destructive. If gold appreciates, your
gold standard stands condemned by
failure in the most essential attribute,
that of stability, while you are convicted
of mulcting your debtor, not only Of
the interest which he agreed to pay, but
also Of the unearned increment, the in
crease in purchasing power, which YOU
currency has acquired by lapse of tint
Great is truth, and she will pre-
vail. It's with the firm conviction tha

THE LAST CONVENTIONS.

The Indianapolis convention of Dem
ocrats is undoubtedly the last national
convention to be held during this re-
markable year. 1t was the only con-
vention from which there was no bolt,
or threats of bolt this year.
The leaders of the convention were
men of little consequence. They en-
braced small coterie of politicians
whose usefulness if they ever had any
was spent generation ago. For the
most part they are breed of birds be-
longing to the species of pewees and
coots. There Is one only man consort-
ing with them who can lay any claim
to real intellectually or statesman
like attachments, Henry Waterson.
Their standard bearer, John NJ. Pal
mer is a wrscked old man on whom the
boiling habit has become so firmly fixed
that it partakes of the nature Of reflex
action. The second man on the ticket
is General 5. b. Buckner whose name
is known in history only as being the
man who surrendered Fort Donaldson
to General Grant.
AS to the purpose and effect of the
new ticket there seems only one expla-
nation. 1t was put up by gold demo
cratic and republican leaders with the
hope Of catching the votes of some who
are democrats first and gold men after
wards and would rather vote for Bryar
and silver than for McKinly and gold
By labelling this ticket democrat anC
advocating gold they will endeaYor L
entice such men to vote for it while
the leaders and knowing ones will 81
lently vote for Mckinley. This may b.
understood by Mark Hanna's jubilatiol

four years ago, and showing them in

with the paper till the campaign of '94

This years campaign will be the most
important one since the war. 1t will be
particularly interesting to populists.
Every intelligent citizen should keep
posted on the situation. The Topeka
Advocate prints more general news than
any populist paper in Kansas. 1t con
tains something for every member Of
the family. 1t is clean, truthful and re-
liable. Its fight for the people this year
will be particularly strong. Its editO-
rial and general political matter will be
prepared under the direction of Senator
W. A. PETER. 1t will have series of
cartoons from the pen of MyrOn A.
