How complicated the situation
has become for the Tribune man
agment. Privately the management
is for gold but the paper is for sill
yer. Itquotes profusely but has no
original utterance in defense of a
single plank Of the Chicago plat
form. In state affairs the editor is
party and part of both fusions. He
is on the one hand pledged to the
|populists to return a populist to
the United States senate and on
the other hand stands
pledged to the silver republicans to
work for the interests of Senator
Dubois. The Tribune has made
some comment upon the present
shameful and eXtravagant state adj.
ministration but now is bound in
party alliance with the silver re-
publicans who are part and parcel
of the present state administration
1t will be interesting to watch
the adroitness with which this
political acrobat will attempt to
fool the voters into the belief that
he can be all things to all men and
still not be traitor to some of his

define all independent voter as one
who votes as he believes without
the consent of any man on earth.
The republican voter IN Idaho this
election can alone claim this proud
distinction. The representatives
of the republican party met in
state convention, made a DECLARE
ton of principles and named a
ticket. They met the issues of the
campaign fairly and squarely and
are on the rostrum to-day defend
ing them and will continue the is
sue till decision is made at the bal
lot box. The man who votes the
republican ticket this fall can
know exactly what he votes for
and why he votes. He has moth
ing to explain and no double strad-
die to defend. He is no dupe Of
party leaders, who stand upon one
platform denouncing the state adj
ministra,ion and at the same time
upon another endorsing the same
administration. He is il fact a
man voting his honest principles
and not political pawn on chess
board that moves like an automaton
at the beck and call of some artiul
political boss.

1t does not make any difference
how free silver is in its coinage iu
the United States. You will not
get a dollar of it unless you can
give something for it. Free coin
age will not open single factory
nor unlock the thousands Of dol
lars of capital now waiting to make
new investments. 1t will on the
other hand create greater depres-
sion by contracting the currency,
closing down factories where labor
is already employed and create
more idleness, misery and want.

The free coinage advocates are
still busy explaining how they
mean to give the people cheap
dollar and still dollar as good as
the present dollar. The gold dol
lar is to good; it buys too much !;
it is too hard to get. But the sill
yer dollar under free coinage will
be just as good, therefore just as
hard to get. 1t puzzles the brain,
but still the wheels go round while
the enthusiast tries to explain the
absurdity.

The republican party in Idaho
is the only party in the state that
offers to free and intelligent voters
q clean platform of party pr;nci-
Piles based upon the issues of the
campaign. 1t is the only party in
the state that has not sought by
fusion and intrigue to barter, trade,
or bargain the votes of its con-
stituency for official pelf or private
gain. In the midst of all the FL.
sion and confusion incident to this
campaign OF bargain and sale, the
republican voter stands calm and
unmoved. He stands upon prin-
ciple and principles do not change
in night. He has no fear that
the next news from headquarters
will tear down the banner he now
upholds and order him to about
face" and fall in under some new
leader, and to espouse some new
sentiment. No Central committee,
either State or National haunts his
dreams or directs his ballot. He
picks up the morning paper with
out alarm, knowing full we'll that
no secret caucus mas in the night
changed his party name or party
principles. We hear much in this
campaign about independence both
individually and nationally. II

preston in this campaign we may

What we want in this country is
full 1oo-cent dollar, and then we
want after that free opportunity to
earn it. The question for the
wage Garner to settle is whether
free trade or protection will best

mites to earn a dollar.

Under tree silver and a depreci-
ated currency, the foreign nations
who are now flooding this country
with imports will be able to double
their importations and pay no
more duty than they pay to-day.
Our duties are now payable in
gold, but with silver as a legal
tender and 'cheap dollar" the
import duties can be paid in silver
and the free trade which has made
this havoc in prices and industries
be made still freer and the country
ruined in it's industrial develop
ment. Free silver will double all
the present conditions and give
foreign nations complete control OF
our markets and industries.

What Webster Said March IS, 1887.

He who hampers with the cur
rency robs labor of it's bread. He
panders indeed to greedy capital,
which is keen sighted and may
shift for itself, but he beggars la
hor which is honest. unsuspecting,
and too busy with the present to
calculate for the future. The
prosperity Of the workingman
lives, moves and has its being in
established credit and a steady
medium of payment. All sudden
changes destroy it. Honest in
dustry never comes in for any part
of the spoils in that scramble
which takes place when the cur
rency of country is disordered.
Did wild schemes and projects
ever benefit the industies? Did
violent fluctuations ever do good
to him who depends on his daily
labor for his daily bread. Ger
tainly never. All these may graf
ify greediness for sudden gain, or
the rashness of daring specula-
ton, but they can bring nothing
but injury and distress to the
homes of patient industry and
honest labor

unimportant articles as to the controlling and significant commodities, and notwith- standing that the operation of our protect i've tariff, by keeping out foreign eompe- tition and by stimulating homo consump- tion, has tended during all the period GOV cred by tho report to maintain prices above the European level and to withstand to the utmost the influence tending to lower them, yet tho results of that investigation are among the most instructive that we have. They confirm in most emphatic way tho lesson that primary money Is a world substance, like tho atmosphere, and that tho law of an appreoiating standard and measure of values is as memorable as fate Ingenuity may for n time postpone the catastrophe or mitigate tho hardships that signal it's approach, but the end is inevitable, and a common ruin waits on all nations that mistakenly suit themselves to the control of such n system.
 By Dr. Soetbeers tables 1t appears that prices in Germany fell about a2 perl cent from 1873 to 1891. Since 1891~the fall theSe, as elsewhere in Europe, has been very much more than in the same propor- tion, unquestionably exceeding 80 per cent by 1895. This means that the purchasing power of gold in Germany has increased moro than 4Q-per cent since 1s72.
 In England, by Tho Economist tables, tho fall of prices from 1878 to 1893 was 30 DOT cent, and the last two years have wit messed a much greater fall in proportion, showing an increase in tho purchasing power of gold to have been at least 45 per cent from 1878 to 1895.
 givo here the very careful and reliable figures of Mir. Sauerbeck from ISIS to 1875. His standard, it will be recalled, is the average prices in London of 4b princi- pal commodities for the period 18671S77, which is also tho average for 1S53-1S77. The arrangement below Is by continuous ten year periods, thus equalizing merely temporary fluctuations and clearly show ing tho law controlling the fall of prices:
Birmingham state herald., 1896-03-15

Prices of 1873 taken as zero.
 E =, Economist index numbers, wholesale prices. 22 principal commodities London market. Average prices IS45-5o taken as 100.
 S=, Soetbeer's index numbers. 100 Ham burg articles and IA British exports Average prices 1S&7-50 taken as 100.
 -, silver.
 Now, gentlemen, call your attention to the fact that the lines of the two halves of the chart are continuous. Really these are two diagrams representing one idea. They indicate the reciprocal relation of the prices of commodities and tho prico of gold For example, starting with 1873 as the zero point, the upper chart shows how gold has with few exceptions gone con- stantly up until 1t climbs of at tho top ef
Birmingham state herald., 1896-03-15

Thus by these authoritative data prices fell in England between 1873 and Febru- ary, 1895, 46 per cent In other words, the purchasing power of gold rose more than 85 per cent. Even comparing the 1895 prices with the average of 1S6473 tho fall has been more than fl per cent and tho increase in the power of gold more than 69 per cent.
 These results, as well as others to which I shall later advert, are impressively repre- sented by tho charts to which will ask the attention of the house.
