But this much know-he feels that he owes
much to the patriotic democrats who prefer
principle to strict party ties Indiana. for In
stance, was unquestionably carried against
fusion by democratic votes. He recognizes the
very great service performed by the demo-
cratic and in dependent newspapers during the
campaign Mai. Mckinley will endeavor to
see collected great national party that will
give prosperity TO the country. He expects
and hopes that men Of oil shades Of former
political belief will be united to this end.
The first movement he will make will be to
obtain sufIicient revenue to conduct the
government Further issues Of bonds would
be altogether too dangerous. Business pros
pcrity and stability demand that as soon as
possible the government should be on paying
basis. To this end an extra session Of con-
gress will be necessary, and President McKin-

auguration. Legislation will be required to
secure the desired revenue, and Mr.. McKin-
ley will do everything in his power to secure
it. as we'll Us the legal establishment Of o pol

NINE STATES CLOSE.
Twenty 81; Thousand Votes Really Settled
the National Election.

Twenty Thousand Votes Really Settled
the National Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The immense
popular MAORI y received by Maj. Nc
kinley and his roodly majority in the
electoral college tends alike to conceal
the real narrowness of his victory be-
cause OF the closeness of the votes in
several states. If there had been q
change of less than 10000 votes in the
aggregate in nine states, Bryan would
have been elected president of
the United States. McKinley's
majority in California, Delaware,
Indiana, Kentucky, North Dako-
Ia. Oregon, South Dakota, West Vir-
pinia, and Wyoming combined was less
than 1900, and the nine 81 ates cast 60
electoral votes. A change of only
about 10000 votes would have given
the 60 electoral votes of these nine
states to Bryan, and these so electoral
votes would have elected him presi-
dent of the United States.

JACKSON. o., Nov. 0-All the coal
miners here are idle, the men going
out Saturday. President Rutchford,
of the Ohio miners, is here holding
conferences, and there was mass
meeting yesterday, but no settlement
has been reached. The miners are re.
sisting the Ascent rate, saying they
can hardly live in that region at the
6l-cent rate. The men have been hav-

controversy will cause general strike
of many thousands of m ners in Ohio.

FREE SILVER STRONG ARGUMENTS q

! TO Illustrate how dear the gold dollar is for
farmers, and the difference between bimetal
ism that we enjoyed in 1868 and the single gold
standard now advocated, il will only be neces
sary TO state that in 1856 1880 bushels OF wheat
brought money enough To pay the president =
salary, while in 1894 IL took 10000 bushels.
fhe congressman were paid ut the former date
by 200 bushels, while now by their own legis.
lation IL takes 1900 bushels In the former
| period, when the people were almost free from
debt 800 OF interest payment could be bought
with forty bushels OF wheat, while now with the
/ people weighed down with debt, il takes 800
bushels TO purchase the same number OF dollars
that 40 purchased before Belding Star.
The above is fair sample of some of
the so-called arguments which are
being used to wheedle the people into
another chase after Democratic phan-
toms.
Now, Mr.. Editor, any school boy
who had studied u. ). history would
know that the Free Coinage OF Silver"
had nothing to do with the price of
wheat in 1866. This year of 1866 was
just at the close OF one Of the nation s
greatest ragedies-the Civil war--in
which more than one million Of the
strongest and best blood Of the land
were not only engaged in consuming
but in destroying the product OF the
country. With this number of the
nations populace called from the ranks
of the producer to that OF the consumer
and destroyer, TO which might be add
ed several millions more whose pro-
ductive ability was neutralized by
these four years Of Civil war, is it any
wonder that the price OF products both
agricultural and manufactured should
be high?
But, Mr. Editor, cared not so much
about exposing the fallacy of the above
article as | did to make an earnest APP
peal TO our Democratic brethren to
deal honestly and fairly with the people
upon the issues of this campaign. If
there is any merit in the cause OF Free
Silver" il il is good for all classes let
ussr,lve an honest exposition Of the
facts which go to make your cause
worthy of the public's patronage. The
people were never so honest in their
desire to know the right, and knowing
it q do the right, as they are in regard
to the issues Of this campaign and we
think it unfair and unjust, yea inn.
polite, for any party to use such senti-
mental statements in "A futile attempt
to demonstrate the value of certain So
called principles of government. Such
II course must prove boomerang to
those who pursue it.
We should be pleased, Mr.. Editor, il
your worthy contemporary would ar
range in logical order the claims of
Free Silver" and each week publish
at least one point fully sustained II
possible, by honest argument. We
should take pleasure, with your per-
mission, to each succeeding week,
admit the truth or prove the fallacy of
said argument.
Yours for fair play,
