If this country should go to a sill
yer basis, which would be the newt
able result OF Bryan's election, the
fluctuations in the rate of exchange
between gold and silver monetary
systems would De a great disadvan-
1age in dealing with gold standard
nations, That was what the COM
missioners Of Mexico to the Inter-
national monetary conference com
planned Of very bitterly. The rate Of
exchange was constantly fuctuat-
ing. Here then would enter another
factor, an element Of uncertainty, in
determining the price of wheatin this
country. The price of wheat for the
world is fixed in the Liverpool mar
ket and the price here will he the
Liverpool price, less transportation
charges, insurance and commissions.
On a silver basis the pars ofexchange
must also be considered. AS this is
constantly tluctuating, buyers and
shippers Of grain will, in determining
the price, make themselves safe from
loss on that score at the expense Of
the farmer, who would have to bear
the risk of these fluctuations. The
farmer has no one to fall back upon,
but must bear the loss.

FREE coinage would not start fac
tory or make a demand for an addi-

no new occupations. It would add
nothing to the comfort of the masses,
the capital Of the people or the wealth
of the nation. It seeks to introduce
a new measure of value, but would
add no value to the thing measured
It would not conserve values. On the
contrary, it would derange all exist

In a recent letter to the manufac-
turers Mr.. W. F. Benjamin, editor of
the Spectator, Rushford, N. Y, says:
''lt may be a pleasure to you to
know the high esteem iii which Cham
berlain's medicines are held by the
people OF your own state, where they
must be best known. An aunt OF
mine, who resides at Dexter, Iowa,
was about to visit me few years
since, and before leaving home wrote
me. asking if they were sold here,
stating if they were not she would
bring a. quantity with her, as she did
not like to be without them" The
medicines referred to are Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, famous for it's
cures of colds and Group; Chamber
lain's Pain Balm for rheumatism,
lame back, pains in the side and
chest, and Chamberlain's Collie, Choi-
era and Diarrhga Remedy for bowel
complaints. These medicines have
been in constant use in Iowa for al
most a quarter OF century. The
people have learned that they are
articles Of great worth and merit,
and uDequaled by any other. They
are for sale here by E. F. Whitney,

SENATOR STEWART has a gold
clause in all mortgages taken by him,
and Gov. Altgeld makes rent upon
his property in Chicago payable in
gold. The other day w. H. Harvey,
author OF Coins Financial School,
drew $4,000 from q Chicago bank
and demanded payment in gold,
which he Immediately placed in a
safety deposit vault. That shows
that the free silver shouters have no
confidence in their own preaching,
and protect themselves from the de-
probation that would result from
free coinage.

Four years ago the democrats said,
give us free trade and we will have
glorious good times, wheat will be
worth 81 rs per pushed, and all that.
They tell us now they haven't given
us free trade. Well, if not, why
haven't they' They tell us also now
that free trade is not an issue in this
campaign. If that's SO, why isn't it?
They say they haven't given to us
what they promised to give. Why
don't they cry free trade now? Is it
perchance that they have discovered
that that remedy lis no good? Now
they have changed the cry to free
silver. Now they say that will bring
about the good times that free trade
was to give us, if they were elected.
But the people have good reason to
doubt the wisdom and sincerity Of the
democratic party. Lind said in his
speech here four years ago that he did
not charge the democrats with inten-
tionally wanting to misgovern this
country, but they didn't know how.
We know they have fooled us, and
they can do it again, but the people
don't propose to get fooled this time.
It was Abraham Lincoln who said
that you may fool all Of the people
some Of the time, and some Of the
people all Of the time, but you can't
fool all Of the people all Of the time. y

cially necessary for the protection OF

UNSTABLE MONEY and F1ucruAr1Ne
CURRENCY" In the Chicago platform
adopted by the populist wing of the
party it is made to appear as if I'M
stable and fuctuating money would
be desirable thing. A silver stand
ard would give us a fuctuating cur
rency. Like the Mexican dollar,
whose value is quoted in the daily
market quotations, SO would our dol
lars, if we adopt that basis, rise and
fall in accordance with the price Of
silver bullion. What democracy con
.sidered right in 1892, the silver wing
of the party considers wrong in
1896! But history and experience
teach us that it is quite true that
farmers and workingmen are the first
to suffer from debased and Auctu-

ton Of '92 IS correct.

Polls Made by the NewYork Herald
and the Philadelphia Press.
LIFE INSURANCE RETURNS

The outlook for the triumph of sound
money in November. according to careful
estimates made by the New York Herald
yesterday. and the Philadelphia Press, is
exceedingly good. The estimate of the
Herald gives Mckinley 24S electoral votes
and Bryan 134, with AZ others favorable to
Mckinley and'23 favorable to Bryan. The
estimate referred to is as follows:
The Herald predicts. after careful can
vass of every state in the United States,
that William Mckinley, tr. of Canton
Ohio, will be elected President on Novem-
ber 3 by large majority of the electoral
college. This conclusion has been deter
mined by giving the states Of Connecticut,
Delaware, Illinois. Indiana. Iowa. Maine
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Hampshire. New Jersey, New York, Ohio
Pennsylvania, Kentucky. Rhode Island
Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin to
the candidate Of the republican party.
These states will give Mr.. Mckinley 24s
votes.
William J. Bryan. 1t is conceded. will carr.
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida
Georgia, Idaho. Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Montana, Nevada, South Carolina
Tennessee. Texas, Utah and Virginia.
These states will give the candidate OF
the democratic party l34 votes.
The doubtful states are California, Kan
sas. Minnesota. Nebraska, North Carolina
North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota
Washington and Wy oming.

Al to States,

The Press states its view of the condition
in each state as follows:
Alabama will be carried by the democrats
by whatever majority they choose to count.
Arkansas will go the same way ami by
the same methods.
Late advices from California give it to
Mckinley by a safe plurality.
Colorado is silver mad, and may go nearly
unanimously for Bryan.
Connectlcut's republican plurality will be
the largest the state has ever given.
Delaware is thought to be safe for Nc
Kinley by small plurality.
Florida will be made to appear for Bryan
Georgia would be doubtful with a fair
election, hut the count will show a Bryan
plurality.
Idaho is put in the doubtful column
Illinois should give as large a plurality
as is indicated. But 1t has heen closely
contested, and the figures may drop a few
thousand.
Indiana has also been closely contested
but its Industrial interests should make
a large Mckinley plurality sure.
Iowa Is safely republican, and by a big
vote.
Kansas is classed as doubtful, although
good authority puts it In the republican
column.
Kentucky is quite safe for Mckinley

his active connection with it had taken an
active interest in it's welfare and in its
graduates who reside in this city. By them
he was held III the highest esteem, and his
death came as a personal loss. At the
meeting suitable resolutions were adopted,
expressing the regret of the local alumni,
and paying high tribute to his character as
an educator, as q government official and
as a man. The resolutions were signed by

New Jersey will be for an honest cur
rency and Industrial prosperity.
New York's plurality will be so large

that no estimate can be made 1t is doubt

Rhode Island will be nearly unanimous
for Mckinley.
South Carolina is one of the sure Bryan
states.
South Dakota is considered out CT the
doubtful column and certain for Nc
Kinley.
Tennessee is claimed for Mckinley by the
local sound money newspaper but II is
best to put 1T down as in doubt
Texas is in confusion, but it is better to
count II for Bryan.
Utah's mining interest will probably
carry il for Bryan.
Vermonts September republican plurality
will be duplicated.
Virginias election laws leave its electoral
vote in balanced condition.
Washington cannot be classed otherwise
than as doubtful on account of meager ad-
vices.
West Virginias interests ought 20 make

way.
Wyoming's situation is not very definitely
known, but IL is believed safe for a small
republican plurality.
