Honest Farmer Jansen's Views.

There are many reasons for thinking
that fires silver is losing ground in Kan
sas, Nebraska and other parts Of the
west, where it has been strongest and
where the people have devoted most
time and thougts7 to this question.
Earnest study has convinced many farm
ers that the :'crime of 1872 is myth ;
that it does not pay to- be dishonest ;
that goldeis better than silver that BIZ
rnetallisnris impossible, and that there
Is nothing but wind backof the delusive
promises Of silveritess 0neof these prac-
teal everyday farmers, whD both thinks
and talks for HIMSELF, is Peter Jansen

his state, Sw he VENT to the st. Louis
convention rs a delegate at large. He
was put on the committee ON TesOlu-
tions, and, here is what; he'said when he
announced his vote.
''God hates cowards,. an6l every hon

ON behalf of the Republicans Of the
great state of Nebraska, 4 shall vote for
the resolution whichi declares for the

GOLD AND SEWER.
Free Coinage Would Drive Gold ous.

Free 'CO1nabB NOulu DrEpe SOgd ouss
This country has now over 81, $50,
100000 in metallic money in nearly
equal amounts of gold and!silveT. The
free coinage advocates propose that the
government should coin all the silye.
brought to the United States minis at n
ratio of 16 to 4 As the commercial
ratio is over 30 to 1, the result of such
free coinage would be to fproe ont Of
circulation all the gold now in use.
Tlris always,has been and always viii
be the effect.of Laws making a,cheaner
money a legal tender forr the same
amount of value. as better money.
There can be no escape froua the eon-
clusion that so long as the b1llion n; a
silver dollar us worth less than; that in,
q gold dollar the deafer coins will not
circulate.
The real question, therefore, which
the American people are calledup TO
answer is whether they wish tocontiuue
the present system, by which oser 5000
600, 600 of silver money is Eept at a
parity with gold, or-.to adopt a. 10 t5n I
free coinage law which will give US sill
yer money only. All who want the PEI
manent use of both metals sh9uld vote
for sound currency based on the gpia
standard. The men who. are shouting
for free silver may call themselves ''Ei-
netallists," but they. are in reality
working for the contraction of, U1z
money to the single silver standard!

The Gresham Law Demonstrated.

Because in all ordinary business, mat
tiers the best quality of goods sold al u
certain price invariably drives ont AZ
inferior quality sold at the, same price,
the silverites deny that if under iG to
free coinage law silyerforcedgOld cat
of use it would show that the silver
money was worth less than the gold.
If. they ask, "a good quality of hJur
or tea drives out inferior goods, why
does not the same rule apply ITO moneyf''
That 1T does not is due to the fact that
whereas goods of all kinds, are sold on
their own merits, cheap kind of money
is forced ON the public by laws which
make it legal tendeka This. is clearly
shown in the operatiomof the Sherman
oliver purchase law, under which legal
tender notes representing silver buniou
were issued. The effect Of that law on
the kind Of money used i'm paying Gus
toms duties at the peincipal part Of en-
\ try in the United States issstated as fol
lows by ex-Secretary OF the Treasury
Charles Foster in recently publishes
letter: 'sThe Sherman law alarmed tha
financial centers as,to the disposition O
the government tos maintain gold pay
nnents.
"Then, in the financial centers. th
quality of our money was critically con
sidered. While gold. silver and tressur.
notes are a legal tender, yet the fact is
silver is the least valuable, and treasur
notes not so valuable as gold.
"Under the. alarming conditions N
ferred to the Gresham law was put
test under the severest possible condi
tions, and was found to be infalliblt
Customs dRes were paid in silver. in th
main, and IN treasury notes Gold pay
ments for customs dues PRACTICAL

For the fiscal year 1901 the gold n

The time has come fer choice between

Republication and ruin ON the other, and
the duty of the citizen who appreciates

DETROIT's CELEBRATION.
1t Will BE I'm Memory Of the British
Evacuation.


DETROIT. Mich, July 3.-Instead of
formally celebrating Independence day, De-
uoit Will, week later, celebrate the CEN
tennial anniversary of the evacuation by
the British Of Detroit and the northwest
territory.
The governors of all the northwestern
states, with their staffs, have been invited
as have also the President and cabinet
members Of the United States Supreme
Court, most of the foreign ambassadors
and many other distinguished men. The
Grief orator of the day will be Governor
O'Ferrall Of Virginia who will be accom-
panied by his staff. The main exercises
will be held In and about the new incom-
pleted government building, which stands
upon portion Of the very site of old Fort
Lernoult, afterward called Fort Shelby
which was the structure evacuated by the
British on July II, 1896. By this act the
northwest territory first came into posses
sion Of the United States.
The trea ties of 1882 and 11S3 provided for
the surrender of the western territory by
the English, but the evacuation Of Detroit
did not take place until thirteen years
later, having been delayed by pretexts of
unsettled claims and protests of traders.
Jays final treaty, made in 1894, provided
for the evacuation Of Detroit on or before
June l, 1885, and the actual surrender took
of unveiling memorial tablet on the en-
trance of the federal building, historical
addresses and Governor O'Ferralrs Grafton
and a parade Of federal and state troops
and naval battalionS and other military and
patriotic organizations.

TROUBLE IN THE NATIONAL RIFLES


A PropOsed Meanurz| Rf Finance
Causes a Disturbance.
One of the most important meetings in
the history Of the NationA Rfles was held
last evening at the armory for the pur-
pose Of discussing certain matters con-
cerning the future management Of the af-
fairs Of the corporation, and as a result Of
that session an equity suit may be insti-
tuted to restrain a majority Of the stock
holders from issuing ceptifrates of stock
In equal amounts to all members, irrespec-
tive of their terms of service.
The meeting developed great deal OF
feeling, and it was not adjourned until late
In the night. There were two factions de-
veloped by the propositions advanced to
bond the corporation for $94, 500, one side
faxoring this measure Of finance and the
other opposed. Those favoring the bonds
proposed that certificates of stock to the
total amount of the bonded Indebtedness
should be issued in equal shares to the
