TUESDAY Mr.. BRYAN was notified
of his nomination for the Presidency
by the party to which he belop gs,
at his home in Lincoln, Nebraska.
AS Democrat he is misft, as a
Populist he lacks nothing. He de-
tends the Populist theories, and ac-
cepts the policies which they pro-
pose to enforce if they once get pos
session of the Government. His
acceptance of the Populist nomina-
ton will in itself be an abiuration
of Democracy. There are thous-
an Is of Democrats in the country
who have had their eyes opened to
the true drift of the work accom-
plished at the Chicago Convention
by the performance at Lincoln
Tuesday.

The Lookout Ahead.

A correspondent to an enterpris-
ing Metropolitan newspaper sent a
communication for publicntion
which reads:
SIR:-The real benefits of free
silver are just beginning to be fully
appreciated. Just think of it. To
be able to pay dollar with so cents
worth Of silver. Why, the people
will tumble over each other in the
scramble to get silver. They Will
almost want to make debts for the
sake of paying them in silver. But
what Of honesty? Hang honesty.
Honesty is played out (rjde the Chi
cago PLATFORM
After a while all debts contracted
on a gold basis Will have been paid.
What of that? We can begin com
ing nickel at a ratio of nickel 3 to
silver l and pay all debts contracted
on a silver basis in nickel. Then
will come copper, iron, wind, Long
before this we shall have come to
see how really antlquated and I'M
American honesty is.
!
But other nations may follow our
example. If, however, we only keep
a little ahead, paying In silver when
they pay in gold, in nickel when
they pay in silver, we can always
manage to do them. We can be DIS
honest without the aid or consent
of any nation on earth.
But creditors may object; they
may call in the courts; the police;
the military! We won't have any
military, any police, any courts
(vjde the Chicago PLATFORM We
want riot. We can have riot with
out the aid or consent of any nation
on earth. We don't want any law,
any courts, any government. We
won't have any. Well just haYe
wind and pandemonium.

We have not the space to publish
the entire acceptance speech of Maj.
Mckinley, but give few extracts
which will do you good to read:
1t is a mere pretence to attribute
the hard times to the fact that all
our currency is on a gold basis.
Good money never made hard
times.
Let us hold fast to that which we
know is good. 1t is not more money
we want; what we want is to put
the money we already have at work.
When money is employed men are
employed.
1t would not make labor easier,
the hours of labor shorter, or the
pay better. 1t would not make
farming less laborious or more prof
table. 1t would not start a fac
tory or make demand for an ad-
ditional days labor.
1t is not an increase in the vol
ume of money which is the need of
the time, but an increase in the
volume of business; not an increase
of coin, but an increase of conf
dence; not more coinage, but q
more active use of the money coined !;
not open minis for the unlimited
coinage of the silver of the world,
but open mills for the full and un-
restricted labor of American work
men.
Free silver means the debasement
of our currency to the amount of
the difference between the CONNER
clal and coin value of the silver dol
lar, which is ever changing, and
the effect would be to reduce prop
erty values, entail untold financial
loss, destroy confidence, impair the
obligations of existing contracts,
further impoverish the laborers and
producers of the country, create a
panic of unparalleled severity, and
inflict upon trade and commerce a
deadly blow.
Those who assert that our present
industrial and financial depression
is the result of the gold standard
have not read American history
Alright or been careful students of
the events of recent years. We
never had greater prosperity IN this
country, in every field Of employ
ment and industry, than in the
busy years from 1880 to 1892, dur
ing all of which time this country
was on gold basis and employed
more gold money in its fiscal and
business operations than ever be-
fore. We had, too, a protective
tariff under which ample revenues
were collected for the government
and an accumulating surplus which
was constantly applied to the pay
ment of the public debt.

No "Enemy's Country"

Perhaps no more significant con-
trast could be drawn between the
genius which inspires the two great
political parties of the country, than
that afforded by their distinctive rep
resentatives in formally accepting
their respective nominations for the
Presidency. Mr.. Bryan, it will be
remembered, on the eve of his de-
parture from Nebraska to read his
speech of acceptance IN New York,
announced that he twas going to
open his campaign in the heart of
the enemy's country For Mr..
Bryan there is no common
country" A large part of the
American people he regards as
"enemies,'' and his Aippant avowal
of this fact, following the declara-
ton OF one of the leading spirits
of the Chicago Conyention, that
"this is a sectional ISSUE" shows
how utterly antagonistic to the
spirit of national unity and frater.
nifty this crusade against the ma
tional honor and prosperity is.
Now contrast this sectional and
partisan declaration of Mr.. Bryan
with the national and patriotic ut
terances Of Gov. Mckinley in his
letter Of acceptance. Coy. McKin-
ley looks upon no part of the Ameri-
can Union as an"enemy's country"
He sees here a people united in in
terests,in aims, and in their devo-
ton to the underlying principles of
the Government. He says:
The era of reconciliation, so long
and earnestly desired by General
Grant and many other great leaders,
North and South, has happily come
and the feeling of distrust and hos
Utility between the sections is every
where vanishing, let us hope never
to return.
Nothing is better calculated to
give strength to the nation at home,
Increase our power and influence
abroad and add to the permanency
and security of our free institutions
than the restoration of cordial rela-
tions between the people of all Sec
tions and parts of our beloved coun-
try.
After the lapse of century since
its utterance let us, at length and
forever hereafter, heed the admopl-

"WHEN the Creator made man,
He did not use any superior kind of
mud when He made fnanciers. -
W. j. Bryan.
This is sample of the stuff the
Populist candidate is spouting over
the country. The representation
of the Creator making man out of
mud is on level with the cross of
gold and crown of thorns blasphe-
my. Such a man as that IS entirely
too small and undignified ever to
be elevated to the chair of Wash
ington and Lincoln.

Democratic TurnCoats.

A glance at platform making by
the Maryland Democrats is in
structive. The platform of the
State Convention, on June 10, re-
cited that ordinarily the framing of
the declaration of party principles
might be left to the national con-
ventions. but "the overshadowlng
Importance at this time of the finan-
cial question makes it incumbent
upon us to speak with no uncertain
sound upon this subject There
fore, the State Convention resolved
as follows:
We demand the maintenance of
the existing gold standard of value,
and further that the Government
shall keep all its obligations at all
times redeemable and payable in
money of the greatest intrinsic
value, and of the highest standard
adopted by the civilized nations of
the world, and we resolutely oppose
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
The Chicago convention declared
for free silver at 16 to 1. Yester-
day the National Democratic Con-
vention adopted this plank, with
which the Maryland platform of
June 10 is more in harmony:
We insist upon the maintenance
of the gold standard and of the
parity Herewith of every dollar is
sued by the government, and are
firmly opposed to the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, and to the
compulsory purchase of silver bull

Congressional Conventions have
been held in this State, controlled
by the same men who controlled
the State Convention. On August

The Work at indianapolis,


The Democrats who assembled at
indianapolis to make a platform
and put up candidates in opposition
to the Chicago Populistic platform
and nominees, do not in their Mat
form confne themselves to the cur
rency question. Regarding them
selves as representatives of
the true Democratic party,
they attack the Republican party
with their usual yigor, and seek IN
their platform to lay upon their he
reditary opponents the blame for
bringing about conditions which
made possible the Chicago platform
and the Chicago nominees. RGpue<
licans will decline to hold them
selves responsible for the detection
of large portion Of the Democra-
tic party into Populism and anarchy.
The strongest denunciations Of the
platform, however, are directed
against the platform adopted by the
Popocrats at Chicago and that
adopted by the regular Populists at
st. Louis. The indianapolis con-
vention supports honest money and
upholds the Supreme Court. On
these points Republicans welcome
them as allies fighting in the same
cause.
The gold Democrats invaded the
enemy's country and took their can
didates therefrom, In electing
Senator Palmer as their Presidential
nominee they boldly entered the
territory of Gov. Altgeld, BrYan's
most energetic lieutenant. Gen.
Buckner, of Kentucky, also comes
from state where the silver people
have made desperate efforts. P.
Wat Hardin ran for governor on a
free silver ticket, and was defeated
by the Republican sound-money
candidate, Bradley. The Republi-
cans and the gold Democrats OF
Illinois and Kentucky should be
able to defeat free silver opposition
in those States.
The issues and the candidates are
now before the American people, and
there are plenty of tickets to choose
from. Voters who wish to throw
their full influence in favor of hon
est money will cast their votes for
the Mckinley electors. Democrats
who cannot bring themselves to sup.
port the Republican candidate can
do the next best thing, and vote fol
Palmer and Buckner. There is nc
excuse whatever for any Democrat
to vote for Bryan, unless he is
enough of a Populist to banker fol
free silver.
