Through the Rockies via the
Great Salt Lake Route

The traveller, tourist or business
man Of the west is wise when he
selects the Rio Grande Western
Railway, "Great Salt Lake Route"
for his route across the Rockies.
1t is the only transcontinental line
passing directly through Salt Lake
City, and in addition to the glimpse
it affords Of the Temple CITY, the
Great Salt Lake and the picturesque
Jordan valley, it affords choice of
three distinct routes through the
mountains and the most magnif
cent scenery in the world. It's road
bed and equipment cannot be ex-
celled by any line west of Chicago;
and while the RIO GRANDE VEST
ERN RAILWAY has been made
farous by the beauty and variety
Of the scenery on its line, it is
equally noted for comfort and ele.
gance of its trains. Through Pull
man palace sleeping cars between
Ogden, Salt Lake City and Denver:
through Pullman tourist or family
sleeping cars to Kansas CITY, Chi
cago and Boston without change:

TRUE DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
Jefferson, jackson and Benton Were for
n Gold Standard.

Jefferson, in 1883, wrote: "Just
principles will lead us to disregard legal
proportion altogether, to inquire into
the market price of gold in the several
countries with which we shall princi-
pally be connected in commerce. and to
take am average from them. | very
much doubt a right now to change the
value, and especially to lessen it,"
The house committee in 1921, report
ed: ut is sufficient to know, by un-
happy experience, that its (ratio of tif-
teen to one) tendency is to rid us of a
gold currency and leave us nothing but
silver"
The house committee in 1894, report
ed; The desideratum in the monetary
system is a standard of uniform value.
We cannot ascertain that both metals
have ever circulated simultaneously,
concurrently and indiscriminntely in
any country where there aTe banks or
money dealers, and we entertain the
conviction that the nearest approach to
an invariable standard is its establish
ment in one metal, which metal shall
compose exclusively the currency for
large payments"
Andrew jackson, in 1896, wrote {:
There is no fraud in gold. 1t is un-
changeable and will do its office every
where and at all times. Labor imparts
an invariable value to it,"
Benton, in 1894, said in debate: 1T
(gold) has an intrinsic value, which
gives it currency all over the world to
the full amount of that value without
regard to law or circumstances. 1t has
a uniformity of value which makes it
the safest standard of value of property
which the wisdom of man has yet dis.
covered. Its superiority over adj other
money gives its possessor the choice
and command of all other money"

The Deficit Growing at n Rapid Rate and
Will Reach S75,OOo,oOO for the Year.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-A special from
Washington says: Uncle Sans treas
ury is still running behind in receipts,
and it is believed this will require an
extra session of congress, in spite of
the restoration of the gold reserve.
Supporters of the administration say
that the existing situation confirms
the argument that the deficit is not
responsible for the export of gold, and
that redundant revenue would affect
the gold supply only indirectly. The
last month or more has shown de-
felt growing at more rapid rate than
in 1895, while the gold reserve has
climbed steadily upward, until it rested
at it's present point, by the disposition
of the banks to retain their gold until
after the election.
The deficit thus far for the present
fiscal year has been S32, ,O44t74o, the re-
ceipts having been only $93 262, $50;
and the expenditures S125, ,3O7, IT'S. The
deficit October II, 1895, was $40, 1862, 101,
and twice as much had been paid ON
the monthly pension charges that year
as has been paid this year during
October. Allowance for this difference
would make the real excess in the de-
felt more than SO, 900, 900 in three and
! n half months, and would indicate a
/ deficit of $75, 900, 900 for the year. An
! increase of receipts is expected, how
! ever, after the elections, as well as an
| increase in the gold reserve.

imPunity to men to cheat contiding
creditors, but it cannot rule the value of
currency in all future transactions.
The crime of paying a debt in cur
rency inferior in value to that in which
it was contracted, base at all times and
anywhere, has deeper guilt and a
baser infamy in our case. When in our
mortal struggle capitalists were solicit
ed to lend their money to us on the faith
of the nation. we were too glad, most
grateful, for heir aid. Then they were
not graspin" md swollen usurers. Oh,
no! They ,.ere benefactors. We re-
ioced in their bounty and gave thanks
for their confiding faith in our national
honesty. Now, our dangers past, we
revile them, finding no epithets too vio'
lent, and strive to pay them, not gold
for the gold they lent our misery, but
in a dishonest measure of an inferior
metal.
"In the court of the commercial
worlds conscience we shall be convict
ed of endeavoring to cheat the men who
came to our rescue in the dark day
This congress would not have existed
nor any government of the United
States, but for the strength given to oul
armies by foreign capitalists, and nov
TO return their aid by base treachery
is to deserve an infamy as deep as the
lowest depths of hell. But woe to thost
men, bull-headed, without eyes, who ART

HARRISON STARTS OUT.

The Ex-President Takes tho stump In In
diana and Is Greeted by Large Crowds.
INDIADAPoL1s, Ind, Oct. 2i.-Several
hundred people were gathered at the
Union station yesterday morning when
the special train carrying Gen. Har-
rison on his two days stumping tour
of the southern portion of Indiana de-
parted at . o'clock. He was accom-
panied by Col Il. H. NebelSer, w. l..
Ketcham and Private Secretary Tib-
bett The crowd waited quietly for a
few minutes and then some one started
cry for Harrison. 1t was imme-
diately taken up by the remainder of
the crowd and Gen. Harrison respond
ed by stepping to the platform and
raising his silk hat
At Martinsville a crowd of about
5000 was gathered to greet Gen. Harri-
son. In his speech here Gen. Harrison
paid his respects to that plank of the
democratic platform denouncing the
interference of federal troops in state
affairs and recalled the Chicago riots
that had brought forth this plank.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 21.-It was a
big day for Worthington. A process
cavalry companies and decorated
wagons, headed by Tippecanoe log
cabin, had been parading the streets,
and it is estimated that 10000 people
were in town, though not more than
half of them heard the speech. In his
address there Gen. Harrison referred t,D
Bryan's remarks about Jekyll and
Hyde. He said he had no disposition
to retaliate in the use of opprobrius
epithets.
| At Vincennes a tremendous crowd
was encountered. A stand had been
erected in an open field near the sta
tion and the crowd of 5000 people
surged over two or three acres of
ground in their efforts to get near
enough to see and hear. Gen. Har-
rison made an intensely earnest speech
| of 80 minutes, in the course of which
he argued the silver question as thor
oughly as the limited time would per-
NIT. At the next stop, Princeton, a
gathering in excess of anything that
had been encountered was met with.
A couple of thousand people met the
train at the station and followed Gen.
Harrison's carriage half mile to the
fair grounds, where a crowd of people
variously estimated at from 10000 to
$4,000 had been waiting several hours.
The ovation given Harrison as he
mounted the stand was magnificent.
His address was very elaborate.
The train arrived at Evansville
shortly after o'clock and was met by
a great crush of people at the station.
Gen. Harrison remained in his car and
had supper and brief bit of rest. AT.
ter supper a big street demonstration
was given with hambeau clubs, trans
parencies and all that go to make up
political procession. Gen. Harrison
spoke in Evans hall, the largest audi
torium in the city, which was utterly
inadequate. In this principal speech
of the day Gen. Harrison addressed
himself chiefly to an argument agains

the people that values cannot bt

dress the party retired to the train ant

Costly Freight Wreck.

WELLINGTON, Oct. 20.-The freight
wreck en- the Big Four near here, Sat-
urday night, will probably cost the
company 100000. A train of about so
cars was coming down grade two miles
west of here. Old rails were being taken
up, and new ones being put in. The
engine left the track, and 25 cars were
piled up 40. feet high, and extending
for many yards. The fireman and en-
gineer saved their lives by jumping.
Engineer Henahan was badly cut
about the face, and Charles Hudson, a
brakeman, had one leg and knee
badly injured, and may lose his leg.

British Silver.

Edward Atkinson calls attention to
a fact apparently overlooked by Mr..
Bryan in his denunciation of British
gold"-that British owners now hold a
large part of the silver stocks of this
country and nearly all the productive
silver mines of the world elsewhere.
Mr.. Atkinson quotes the report of one
British mining company which has paid
its shareholders in the past eight years
over $4o,000,00o profits on a capital of
less than $2,O0o,OO0, in spite of the pre-
vailing low price of silver. Such a
company could afford to pay handsome

During the fiat money and unlimited

of the day. In it he used this language'
"Whenever in any nation there is
such an attempt to tamper with stand

that takes place, it is all the worse If

Cuba's Discouraging Experiment.

Cuba is furnishing u nearby example
of the beauties of government regula-
tion of the value of money on the Bryan
plan. Capt. Gen. Weyler had deficient
supply OF cash, and so he had the Banco
Espanol put out lot of paper money
and issued stringent edict that every
body should take it at par with gold.
AS the island is practically under mar
tial law, there was government con-
troll of the CURRENCY at its best. If you
didn't take the bank bills at pax you
were liable to be shot. Even Bryan
couldn't do more for silver than that.
But did the edict keep the bank notes
at par? Not for n day. Almost instant
ly they were at a discount, which soon
amounted to 20 per cent. Even with
guns and bayonets you cannot make
so cents equal dollar. Weyler has had
to give up trying. He has finally al
lowed the Havana stock exchange to
quote the value of the bank bills in gold.
We were going to say that this proves
the powerlessness of law to establish
the value of money, but we remem-
Der in time that Cuba has less than -
100000 population to our 70,000,0OO;
that she never put down the greatest
rebellion of modern times; but her
inhabitants are not the richest, proud
