The goldbug philosopher, Solo
mon Ogren in critisizing the
Doctors speech at the populis
convention gets off this state
ment: The intrinsic value of a
thing is it's estimate in trade, and
the value depends upon the sup
ply and demand of that thing:
By this definition it is seen that
what Ogren means by INTRINSIC
value" is not intrinsic value, but
commercial value. The INTRINSIC
qualities of gold and silver meyer
changes. The hardness, color,
specific gravity, ETC., of these
metals are the same now as it al
ways was and always will be.
But the mmercial value, esti-
mate in trade, exchange in value,
is quite another thing, entirely
different from intrinsic value,
and depends on supply and de-
.mand, and not at all on intrinsic
value & AS long as Mr.. Ogren

Mighty changes in party align
ment will follow this campaign
The Peoples Party having infus'
ed it's spirit into the new demo
cratic party will probably fin
nally be merged into it.
Gold standard democrats will
join the Republican party, and
silver republicans go to the new
democratic party. The political
sectional division of the country
that we have predicted time and
again is an accomplished fact.
The centre of democracy havepas-
sed from the historic south to
the central west. The West
have at last got a true represen'
tative party and ticket and the
people of the West will now raj
ly to the standard of William j..
Bryan as the people rallied TO the
standard of Abraham Lincoln in
1860.
We have also for the first time
in the history of the nation a dis
tinct political cleavage between
the rich and the common people;
between the man who lives on
fixed incomes, and his retainers;
and the one whose only capital is
brain and Drawn; for thefirst time
in American politics a true right,
and left, in European parlance,
founded on class distinction.
We are glad that the lines Of
battle are drawn. We are ready
for the fray. No nobler man
than W. J. Bryan could be found
to lead the forces of the common
people in this impending con-
test.

in and week out, Bro. Birch has

shaking from hand to foot in NOR

could help laugh? It was too

when some of the "madmen"

was some indistinct gatterals
about a funeral" he hoped it
was not his funeral, or something
to that effect. Why the very

his attention TO it. It is you Mr..

THE STARS FIGHT IN THEIR
COURSES FOR THE PEO-
PIE THIS YEAR.
The Old Democratic Party Cap
tured BY the People and
Once More Imbued with
the Principles and Spiritof
Thomas Jefferson.
THE WHOLE WEST & SOUTH
WILL NOW MARCH SHOUL-
DER TO SHOULDER TO
CERTAIN VICTORY FOR
THE RIGHTS OF THE PEO-
PILE,

Hurrah for w. j. Bryan! He
is the pride of the West. He is
gifted, eloquent, honest and
brave. Heis the most conspic-
nous representative of the COM
mon people, and divine provi-
dence must have ordained that
once, at least, should honesty
and true worth have it's reward.
Mr.. Bryan is probably the
most eloquent orator in this
country. He is a young man,
about Sc years old. He is a man
of wonderful magnetism. We
met him last fall in Minneapolis
and were peculiarly impressed
with the fact that we were in the
presence of a more than ordi-
nary parsonage. The W1LLMAR
TRIBUNE December "a, 1895 con-
tanned the following statement of
our impressions of the man:
We had the pleasure to meet Hon.
w. J. Bryan, the noted free silver ad-
vocate of Nebraska, at Minneapolis
recently. Mr.. Bryan has no horns,
as the gold-bug papers seem to think,
but on the contrary has a very be-
nign and pleasing phsiognomy. He
is one of the foremost orators of the
day, and considered even by his bit
terest political enemies to be of su-
perior mental ability, and a patriot.
His simple and inostentations manner
evinces that his sympathies are with
common people. In fact, he is one OF
them. In comparing the artless and
earnest honesty of this mans counte-
nance with the bauteur and overbear-
ing swagger of most of our gold-bug,
silk-stocking politicians, we felt we
discerned the real reason why men in
public life come to differ so widely on
economical questions. One is cold,
rigid business man: an aristocrat at
heart. He sees nothing in the world
but arithmetic applied to money. The
other is a humanitarian, with a heart
that beats and vibrates in unison with
the feelings, aspirations and suffer
in of humanity in general. Money
arithmetic is secondary.
Each one of these types of men gra.
vitates to his sphere, to his class, to
the political parties that stand for
his class, as sure as the needle to the
pole.
Hon. w. J. Bryan is one of the
ablest and truest American statesmen
today, and his day of distinction is
coming. In a few years the American
people will call for these men, that are
breaking the soil for a good, homes,
and patriotic government.
The wave of popular weakening now
passing over the land is something
wonderful. The incessant failure Of
our best business houses is heaving
public sentiment into pillows noun

In all walks Of life we find the man
ready to breed trouble and disatisfac-
ton in all organizations. Like ''the
dog in the manger,' will not eat hay
nor let any animal eat hay. These
people are necessity only as they fill
space. They are not for principle,
only as they reach conclusions for
their own elev alton. When John Lind
ran for Congress on the Republican
ticket, he was opposed by Democrats
and Pops the same crowd that are
Pops now they fought him to a finish
but he left them clear to the windward,
so that their sails have not been set in
in the Second Dist SINCE Now the
descriptive element say "give us Lind
and we will support him for governor.
These men hope to break the Swedish
Republican ranks, by nominating
Lind, but it won't work. Lind is no
spring chicken. He is a man and has
been honored by the Republican party,
and all Of the issues are dear to his
heart, save probably, a system of
reaching one end. Lind has never
been known to be traitor, nor a
bolter nor decided schemer for Office,
and he emphatically says ''no gentle
man, Now these poor Pops, dis
gruntled Republicans, are at sea again,
and like the old owl hooting from a
graveyard says: "Anybody good

destroying element can take an Alt

We publish the above as a good
illustration Of the principles Of
the Argus: Lind has been hon
ored by the republican party,
therefore, according to the Ar
gus, he ought to let the party die

Because the people Of. the End
Dist: have sent him to congress
several terms under the badge of
a republican, therefore he must
necessarily keep still, and quiet
~ acquiesce in seeing the repub-.
lican party ruin and destroy
this nation! And If he does
not do that then he is a traitor.
and a bolter! Thus reas ons the
Argus! Now John Lind does.

BLAINE'S SPEECHON THE USE OF
SILVER AS STANDARD MONEY
FEBRUARY Z, 1873.
Il believe gold and silver coi1
to be the money of the constitu
tion-indeed the money of the
American people anterior to the
| constitution-money which the
! organic law of the republic recog
nized as independent of it's owr
existence. No power was con
/ ferred on congress to declare
that either metal should not be
money. Congress has therefore
in my Judgment no more power
to demonetize silver than to de-
monetize gold; mo more power te
dem netize either than to dem on
etize both. In this statement
am but repeating the weighty
Edictum of the first Of constitu
tional lawyers. (Here he quotes
from Daniel w ebster.

pirate about. A cotton dealer
would do the same thing. Like
wise a dealer in meat, hides,
manufactured goods, everything
this country produced.
You see, don't you, that the
producers of this country had the
whole stock of both gold and sill
yer, the whole stock of precious
metals in the world, to exchange
their product for. And why?
BECAUSE LHE MINIS WERE OPEN
ED FOR THE UNLIMITED COINAGE
OF BOTH METALS.
This is what is meant by bi-me-
tallism. This is what we want
established. But mark now,
in 1878 our minis were closed to
silver. What was the result?
The man with wheat, cotton,
meat and manufactured goods
could no longer trade with the
man here or elsewhere in the
world who had silver, either in
foreign coin or bullion, but only
with the man who had gold. AS
silver constituted one-half in
commercial value of the precious
metals in the world, one half of
our market for our products was
closed. You see, don't you, that
closing our minis to silver de.
stroyed half of our market. This
is the crime of the mint law Of
1873 against our producers.
The amount of silver we coined
in 1873 had nothing to do with the
question at issue.
The effect Of this destruction
OF one-half of our market for pro,
ducts was not felt all at once, nor
fully realized until many years
after, in fact not reached in full
force until within the last half
dozen years. Nor are we yet by
any means, at the bottom of gold
standard market prices for pro.
ducts.
We might substantiate the
above with extracts from the
most eminent authorities on DO
litical economy. But it is not
necessary to worry our readers
with authorities, as "A cent wheat

Not CONTAGIOUS.

Long Tin, Chinese leper, was found
a short time ago in the streets OF New
York and was promptly removed TO
North Brother Island where he is care
fully isolated in a small house with two
rooms. This disposition of the case is
not quite consistent with the opinion
which the distinguished dermatologist,
DR.. G. A. Fox, expresses in his last re-
port to the Health Department OF New
York City. He contends that leprosy IS
not contagious, and that ten years ago
a man in a very advanced stage OF
leprosy was brought to one of the city
hospitals and recovered from it under
the treatment administered.
