silver. No argument is needed to
prove this, other than the simple
truth of history. When silver was
demonetized it commanded a premium
OF per cent. over gold. This is his
tory which is either true or false.
Who will deny 1t? II at the end OF a
period Of over eighty years of a BIZ
metallic standard, silver commanded
a premium over gold, where is the
sense or justice or honesty in the
claim that 1t would not do the same
thing again under like conditions?
When in all that period did silver
drop to commodity or money value
OF 30 cents, or anything approaching
that figure? What conditions exist
now that did not exist then? Admit
ting that England is to FIX the stand,
ard for this country, did she not adopt
the gold standard In 1916? II we
maintained the parity during all
those years, adjusting our balances
with Great Britain regularly where is
the sense in saying We could not do it
again?
Another fact: Values either have
or have not declined since 70 as meas
ured by gold. Have they? Silver
bullion either has or has not main
tanned its commodity value with ev-
erything except gold or it has not.
Has It? Do these plain facts of his
tory prove that silver, remOnetized,
would not Immediately rise to the
level Of gold? And that there would
not be quick advance in the price of
everything else. This has been ad-
mitted more than once by the less
cautious of the gOldbug press-unwit-
tingly it is true, but their common
sense has betrayed them into the ad-
mission. Others have raised the cry
OF Initiation as the necessary conse-
Quence of remOnetizing silver. Is its
imitation to advance wages to the
point that gives the labOrer a cOmpe-
tence rather than a bare existence?
Would the whole people rather see
higher prices, better wages aud all in.
duStries fOurishing than to have a
continuance of the present delightful
regime Of sound money!" We say
the whole people-or IS per cent. of
them-mind you. OF course the gold
baron would depTess values still fur
ther if he could. Had he the power
ne would demOnetize half the gold of
the world, and then nine-teuths Of it.
That is his game. II, by legislation,
be can turn the thumb screws another
revolution he will do it. The way to
stop it is through the reconciliation
OF silver, and the time to do it will be
at the next meeting Of congress. The
people will take all the chances Of
eternal ruin by the flfty-cent dollar.

HE WANTS TO WIN,
J. w. Moore of Marion Talks of State
Convention.
Wichita Eagle.

Convention.
Wichita Eagle.
j. W. Moore Of Marion county was
in the city. Mr.. Moore had been to
Topeka attending the meeting of the
Republican league, and but few men
in the state Of Kansas takes a more
active interest in the success of the
Republican party than Mr.. Moore. As
a campaigner he has but few EQUALS
and desires that the coming Republi
can state convention should adopt a
series of resolutions which would en-.
able them to wilma victory at the polls.
He gave the following planks which
he hopes to see adopted into the Mat.
form at the next state convention;
I'VE believe that the financial mol.
ICY that confines us to single gold
standard tends to a contraction Of the
currency. We also believe that the
free coinage Of silver, along with the
coinage OF gold, tends to an expansion
rather than contraction of the chr.
rency. We believe that the price of
commodities rise or fall in proportion
to the increase or. diminutiop of
money.
Whereas, There is a difference Of
opinion among good conscientious ma.
triotic men as to whether the adoption
OF free aud unlimited Coinage of Silver
by this country will conduce to our
prosperity without the cooperation of
Great Britain or Germany or both of
them in the recognition of silver as a
money metal, and
whereas. We all agree that the re.
adoption Of silver as a money metal
Will tend to our prosperity IL the other
great nations should unite with us:
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we favor the en-
actment of a law that will provide for
the free and unlimited coinage of sil-
yer aud at the time provide for the
collection in gold Of double the scbe-
dule rate OF duty on all imports from
any and every nation that NAV refuse
10 recognize all our kinds OF money as
we may recognize them no matter
what material it may be made or in
what form it may appear. For we be.
lleve that we should mipgle patriotism
WIN our financial legislation and that
not so much as even a suggestion from
British statesmen or flnanciers shonld
nave place in the laws that are TO
greet and govern these Uuited
States"
After handing the reporter the
above planks he gave the following
reasons for insisting on the adoption
OF the above plaRks:
There is no denying the fact as it
is admitted By all, that a single gold
standard tends to contract the cur.
rency, while the free coinage Of silver
tends to expand. Every man. woman

knows anything about the question

President Cleveland since the re-
mOVal of his family from the White
House to his country home, seems to
have become affected with the fear
that somebody will try to do him
harm, and as result, detectives &C
company him to and from his country
home. This was done last year; but
when the president moved out to
Woody Lane this year he drove out
unaccompanied by detectives. Since
the accident the other night, he has
ordered the policeman to resume
duty beside the carriage in citizens
clothes. The president now has
twenty-seven policemen and detec-
tiVes on duty to watch over his safety,
and for some reason seems to be great
lyscared lest injuries should happen
to him.-Philadelphia Press.

Callously sitting out the play.
So sat, with loyeless count'nance GOLD,
Round the arena, Rome Of old.
Pain, and the ebb Of ife's red tide,
SokNith calm regard she eyed,
Her gorgeous yesture, million-pearled.
Splaahed with the blood of half the world
High was her glory's noon: as yet
She had not dreamed her sun could set,
As yet she had not dreamed how soon
Shadows should yex her glory's noon.
Another's pangs she counted naught;
Or human hearts she took no thought;
But God, at nightfall, in her ear
Thundered His thought exceeding clear.
Perehanee in tempest and in blight,
On Europe, too, shall fall the night,
She sees the victim overborne,
By worse than ravening lions torn.

And lifts no hands, and speaks 40 word
But yaunts "a brow like theirs who deem
