BIMETALLISM.
Senator Chandler Says the Republi-
can Platform Meant What it
Said

In an interview on Monday Senator Chand-
ler of New Hampshire. said
1.-The victory for the Republicans in the
last election is being misrepresented. 1t was
not victory for the gold standard as is being
claimed in many quarters. The Republican
party is not for the single gold standard, and
the gold standard Democrats who aided in the
election of Mckinley must not think so.
Four-fifths of the people of this country favor
bimetallsm and the reconciliation of silver,
and the party which adopts the single gold
standard will have reason to regret it.
SIN the New York Sun of November Is
was an editorial stating that bimetallism is a
myth and that it will never be adopted; also
that the money plank of the Republican plat
form never intended that any effort should
lie made to secure this The financial plank
of the ST. Louis platform was honestly put
there.
NO INTENTION TO DECEIVE THE PEOPLE.
81 do not believe that it was the intention
of that convention TO bunco the people or to
cheat them. The Republican party is COM
mitted to an earnest effort to secure interna-
sional bimetallism, and no time should be lost
IN getting to work along that line. President
elect Mckinley, in his letter of acceptance,
committed himself to the same effect, and
believe he will do all he can TO carry out the
plank of the platform.
''The people must not be misled, and am
certain that it is not the intention of the new
President or his party to do So
''What is your plan for securing bimetal-
lism7''
II want to see an early international con-
ference of the nations tc consider the ques-
ton of international bimetallism. If some
thing is not done soon along this line, it will
not be long before the nations of the earth
Il 10 4l.,
come silver-standard nations and others gold
standard. In the gold countries silver win
become commodity and in the silver coun-
tries gold will become commodity.
A COMMISSION AyD SPEEDY CONFERENCE.
81 think that a resolution should pass at
the coming session of Congress providing for
a commission TO represent this country in
speedy conference with the other nations, and
that the commission should be composed of
honorable men who will not let the matter
drop.
''rhis resolution could be passed and be
ready for Mr.. Mckinley when he comes into
office. There is no use of putting the ques-
ton off until next summer or next fall. The
sooner it is decided to do something the bet
ter. ! do not see how there could be any op-
position to this. | do not believe the silver
Republican Senators would oppose this course.
They want bimetallism.
They do not believe it can be secured by
international agreement. The appointment
of this commission would test the matter OF
whether it could be secured. 1t would give
them the opportunity they want On the
other band. If it is shown that the Republican
party is making strong effort to carry cut its
promises to the people, and should secure &c
ton favorable to silver, it would be strength
eued and would become more than ever the
party of the people.

Wellington at Canton.

Wellington has been to Canton to see

ICELANDIC WEATHER.
Great Loss of Life and Destruction
of Property Traffic on Railroads
Stopped, &c,

Beginning with Tuesday of last week and
continuing until Monday night, the most of
the entire northwest, from the British line to
Texas the mercury ranged from zero to 40'
below, with snow ranging from one foot TO
eight on a level and the wind from IA to 40
miles an hour Altogether it was the worst
storm known TO the Weather Bureau since its
opening. Thousands of cattle and sheep froze
to death on the plains, about so lives lost,
immense damage to railroads, county roads,
dwellings, barns, fences, &c. Heavy and
continuous rains have caused disastrous floods
throughout Wisconsin. In northern and
western New York snow began falling on
Sunday morning and continued until We'd
nesday noon. There were high winds and
the snow and sand became as solid as if made
of cement Drifts are from to "a feet deep, and
all travel is suspended.
THE LATEST
Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, December p
The wafer is p feet above low water mark,
and is still rising. There is no hope of break
ing the ice gorge with dynamite, and the
work has been abandoned. 1t is the general
belief that the city is doomed. The ice gorge
is now over five miles long, and from thirty to
fifty feet high
A report that another gorge is forming at
Little Falls, thirty miles above here, has been
brought in, and increases the alarm, as in
case of its breaking suddenly the whole city
would be swept away.
At Flambeau Farm, fifteen miles above this
city, another ice gorge has formed. The
river has overfowed its banks and inundated
the country to the extent of twenty miles on
either side. Domestic animals have per-
ished by the score, farms and farm houses are
flooded and the losses will reach into the
hundreds of thousands. These reports ore
meagre and uncorroborated, but it is safe to
estimate that at least 5000 horses, cows and
hogs have met death in the flood. Railroads
have been abandoned. The loss will run into
the millions of dollars.
Up to O'Clock Thursday night 1000 pounds
of dynamite had been used on the ice gorge
at Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, with but little
effect. A heavy snow storm has set in and
more ice is forming. The people are panic
stricken.
1t is feared that much madage to shipping
has occurred on the New England coast.

Germany has on hand a scheme to reg
ulate stock exchanges, and the plans, so
far as they have been published, are good.
In this country exchanges are but little
better than gambling saloons The pure
press of our large cities hound the poor
man who plays ''crap' or policy up
an alley, but devote two columns to stock
reports the bets of gamblers and spec
nlators. Stock exchanges, properly con
Quoted, would be a public convenience and
benefit, but as they are controlled they are
little better than gambling saloons.

Reorganizing by the Betrayer.
From the Centreville CMd) Observer.

From the Centreville Cdd) Observer.
The Baltimore Sun says that President
Cleveland believes that the reorganized De-
mocracy is the hope of the country, and that
the President, who has been repeatedly hon
ored by his party and betrayed it at last into
the hands of the enemy believes that the
Democrats will reorganize along the lines of
the Indianapolis platform-that is only one
metal. gold. The Baltimore Sun and Presi-
dent Cleveland are both mistaken. The Dem
ocrats will organize in no such humiliating
and disgraceful fashion. If they reorganize
at ALL which is doubtful, unless the tail stops
trying TO way the dog, it must be along the
lines of the American constitution, which
recognizes both metals. If our gold friends,
who take the liberty Of defeating the party
whenever their interests are touched, cannot
stand on the constitution and are not willing
to come into camp on that great charter, then
they cannot expect to organize or reorganize
party and call it Democratic. Mr.. Cleve
land, who it is now published retires from Of
fee worth over million dollars, whereas he
entered it few years ago worth less than five
thousand, has gotten out of harmony with the
laboring Democratic element of his former
party, and he can have but little to do with
bringing them into any party he might under
take 10 organize. He now hugs the million
aire, the Pierepont Morgan, the Rockefeller,
&c, and forgets the poor struggling farmer
who is now selling his corn for % cents
bushel as the result of Cleyeiand's bad finan-
cial ideas. Farmers put him where he is, and
like many others who have been honored, he
got rich and big headed and has gone away
from and got way above the people who gave
them his support. The plain Democrats,
therefore, want none OF his recognizing, and
unless the recognizing is done on the lines of
the American constitution they want no reor-
ganizing from anybody.
