THE VERMONT ELECTION.

Vermont was expected to go re.
publican. 1t always does. Therefore
IL it had gone republican by only the
usual majority there would be no great
significance in the result. but when the
majority is the largest ever given ii
! conveys n meaning not to be misunder-
stood and one which is in n very high
degree r%cassuring to the republican
cause. Four years ago the republicans
carried Vermont by 21.GG7. In 1894
their majority was increased to 2S,521.
The figures of Tuesdays election will
show u republican majority of over 80
600, OF a gain of more than 10000 over
those of two years ago, when re-
| publicanism reached high tide nearly
everywhere, sweeping the country by
more than a million majority.
The obvious fact is that there has
! been a large accession of democrats to
the republican ranks, by way of protest
against the Chicago platform and
nominee. Lifelong democrats like Hon.
Il. j. Phelps have by thousands attcsted
their reprunatiou of the principles
tIllIltlilltt at 'lllNlSD anu 'IldllllIl'll'i
by William j. Bryan by voting the re-
publican ticket. Another obvious fact
is that the farmers of Vermont, which is
almost entirely an agricultural state,
have not been largely influenced by the
free silver hcreSy. They are not more
prosperous than farmers elsewhere. In
deed, they are as Il whole less pros
porous than the farmers of the north
west. But they are evidently unablc to
see how their condition is to be i'm
proved by debasing the currency and
besides they have generally old
fashioned ideas of honesty and fair
dealing which is proof against the
sophistries and dclusivc theories of free
silver. 1t was said before the election
that if Vermont should poll Il majority
of $4,000 or more it would clearly in
dicate that the farmers of New England
are unmovcd by the cheap money issue
and it would be Il pretty clear indication
that the country will give a large
majority in November. Vermont has
recorded her verdict against the pOpo-
cratic combination by the largest
majority ever given mt it is significant
of all that was said in anticipation of
Such = result.
Although Vermont is a small state,
having only four electoral votes, yet
the result of Tuesdays election viii
not be without very considerable in
tiucnce upon the sentiment of the
country. 1t not only denotes that the
free silver craze has made no progress
in New England, but it also indicates
the general drift of the political tide.
1t will have II great deal of effect in
Maine, which votes on the 14th, and If
the latter state should show an in
creased republican vote the influence
of these two September elections will be
very marked throughout the country.
Certainly republicans have reason to
feel greater confidence from the result
in Vermont. 1t shows that their cause
is not only not losing ground, but is
gaining. 1t should stimulate them
everywhere to push the fight with in
creased vigor and aggressiveneSs.

A POLITICAL
The Process of limiting Values by
National LEGISLATION.

Chicago Chronicle (dem.)
Mr.. Bryan AYERS that the moment the
United States minis are opened to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 there will be a spontaneous exalta-
ton of silver values the world over to ST.
an ounce. If he does not mean that, then
he means that the rise will be gradual year
after year.
If the latter, Mr.. Bryan must admit that
we may have 53-cent silver one year, 63-cent
silver another year and so on, year after
year, a rise of, say, 10 per cent. Either that
conclusion or admit that if free coinage be-
gins at once all property in the United
States will enhance to double its present
value. But, by reason of the rise in the
price of silver Gf his monetary theories are
cOrrect), these values would speedily again
contract and with silver at SIPS an ounce
all values would be soon precisely again
as they are today.
Either the so, 0OO, coo, 900 Of silver in the
world must be raised 80 per cent in value
by our coming $l20 ,000, 900 of bullion or the
gradual rise theory must be accepted.
Under Prestidigitator Bryan there need be
no Constant normal demand for silver to
keep 1t at $l.29 an ounce. 1t will be as
much desired by humanity the world over
as gold is,
Gold watches will be then readily ex-
changed for silver watches because of this
statute-spawned desire and demand being
made to permeate human intelligences
everywhere.
Legislation will create a desire in bar
barians and civilized men alike for silver
equal in intensity to the desire which they
have heretofore INDUCED in for gold, Under
the enchantment of Bryanesque legislation
silver from all the world where 1t Is worth
less than 20 cents per ounce will be trans
ported to the United States to be converted
into legal tender coins at 81 ,29 an ounce.
Thus, If we have raised the price of silver
the world over. including China, Japan and
Mexico, to S1.29 an ounce we will have
proved that we can double The price Of any
commodity by taking one sixteenth thereof
and placing it in another form and merely
marking up" the goods.
The United States have today nearly
81 800, 900, 900 OF circulating money which Is
the equivalent OF gold. Its purchasing power
equals that which would inhere to about
$500, 900, 600 OF 4l2Hr grain silver dollars,
Conjurer Bryan must see that driving
gold out of circulation and dropping coin
dollars and paper promises-to pay dollars
to a silver basis would reduce the circu-
lating medium of the country to about ST.
only one-third the purchasing power of the
present supply of money.
Miracle-WOrker Bryan can just as easily
legislate 100 cents into anything to circulate
as money as he can legislate so cents of
value into a silver coin, II legislation can
create any value il can create all value.
But "Old fOgies," people suspected of hav-
ing common sense, still adhere to the
economic maxim that the relation Of
supply TO demand Is the sole regulator Of
value"

CHAlRlL1N FLOWER'S address

FiA -
The address of Ex-Governor Flower of
New York as temporary chairman Of the
indianapolis convention is Il clear and
strong statement of the position of the
old-line democrats in this campaign.
They are ut war with the political ele-
ment that controlled nj Chicago because
they love the democratic party and love
their country. Mr.. Flower pointed out
what should be apparent 10 everybody
and should impress itself upon the mind
of every good citizen and that is that
the financial declaration Of the Chicago
platform Is not its only danger, 1t is IL
revolutionary enunciatiOn in more re-
speCts than in relation to the currency.
This Was vigorously set forth by Gen
cral Harrison in his New York address
and is emphasized by Governor Flower,
who declared that the real issue in
this campaign is an issue of patriotism"
The integrity of our institutions and the
sacredness of our national honor are in
yolyed and against those who would de,
stroy these all good citizens should do
battle.
Governor Flower was unsparing in
his characterization of the popocratic
candidate. He referred to Mr.. Bryan
rs Il demagogue and Il word juggler and
denounced his appeals to popular pas
sions and to class prejudice. 'There

Omaha wins Il most important case
before the Interstate Commerce COM
mission by the decision just rendered.
The commission holds that the maxi

Texas points must be lower than those
between Chicago and Texas points and
must not exceed the rates between
Davenport and Texas points. This de
cision will be of immense benefit to the
South Omaha stock market, in whose
interest chiefly the Commercial club
made the fight before the Interstate

Typhoid Fever an 4 Bananas.

New York Tribune.
William c. Ussery, Nj. D., of st Louis,
says that the best food for those suffer-
ing from typhoid feyer is the banana.
In this disease, he explains, the lining
mem brane of the small intestlnes be-
comes intensely inflamed and engorg-
ed. Eventually it begins sloughing
away in spots, leaying we'll defined ul-
GERS. At these places the intestinal
walls become dangerously thin. A SOL
i'd food, if taken into the stomach, is
likely to produce perforation of the in
testines and dire results will follow.
Therefore solid foods or foods contain
ing large amount of innutritious SUBJ
stances, as compared with nutritious
substances, are dangerous and are to be
avoided. The banana although it may
be classed as solid food, containing as
it does 80 per cent. nutrition, does not
possess sufficient waste to lrritate these
sore spots. Nearly the whole amount
taken into the stomach is absorbed and
gives the patient more strength than
cen be obtained from other food.
