Winter Waists.

Shirt waists of wooden materials will
be in existence this winter as much as
those of wash goods were in summer.
Plaids are much liked for misses and
young women. Changeable effects are
eagerly sought for i'll all kinds of goods.
For instance, red and blue changeable
waist may be worn with red or blue
skirt, varying the stock collar to match
the skirt. One of changeable green and
gold may be worn with black or green
skirt. -Womankind

Senator Thurston's Argument.

We feel that it is no longer necessary
to make an argument for protection in
the United States. That argument is
being made by the silent water wheel,
by the still spindles, by the smokeless
chimneys; that story is in every Amer
lean home, craven on every American
mind, and now the American people
are ready to act, they are eager to act,
they are burning to act, and they are
going to act at the st. Louis convention
and at the polls in next November. =

We are asked:
What reply would you make TO a
man who says that money loans for
lower interest to-day than ever before !?
Does il loan for per cent In Eng
land?"
The answer would be that 1t is not
true except at financial centers. where
money is congested, and that fact is
conclusive evidence that the aggregate
supply is too small.
When the volume of money is INSULT
cient for the requirements of trade.
prices always decline. With a decline
of prices, profits of productive enter
prise either diminish or entirely dis
appear. Then money is withdrawn
from such enterprises and floats to the
great cities, where it seeks permanent
investment at low rates. Men having
money would rather lend it on gilt
edged security at or per cent than
to invest It. in the operations of q fac
tor, mine, or farm, on q falling mar
ket. In short, he will loan Il at a low
interest rate, where there is 10 chance
Of losing 1t, when he will not sell" II
at all. That is, he vii not bug any,
thing with his money He Will hold II
for the small interest he gets. and The
rise in value OF the principal which is
returned TO him. Plenty OF money is
loaned in England az per cent. or
less. for the reason g!fcr.

Iowa wants free silver because it will
give silver prices for the products of
her farms. Our crop Of corn in 1895
was 285,0000 900 bushels The market
value on gold basis was S48, 100000.
On silver basis it would bring $97,-
100000, or an increase in the circula-
ton of Iowa for corn of $4S, 500, 900 in
one year.
The total crop product of Iowa
farms for 1895 was, gold valuation,
$l6S,235, APO. To measure it on a sill
yer basis it would bring 1886, 470, $40,
an Increase in the currency circulation
in Iowa for one year of S168, 235, 420.
Perhaps some doubling Thomas may
think free silver would not do this.
For an answer l point to silver coun-
tries, where the price of farm products
is practically double ours to-day. |
point to the circular of President Ives
OF the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern railroad, who admits that
farm products would rise in price, but
says railroad charges are fixed by law,
and the company would be paid in sill
yer, I'd must pay interest and bonds
in gold, thus losing the difference in
exchange. Suppose the company does
suffer the loss of the exchange, would
not its share of that $168, 1895, 42O, the
silver price, over and above the gold
price of the crop of 1895, more than
recompense them for the loss in ex-
change, and is the volume Of their bust
ness regulated by law? 1t must be
borne in mind that Iowa is an agricul-
tural state, and to lessen the value of
her crops is to cut off the life-blood Of
her commerce
For fifty-two weeks in the year Iowa
merchants are sending money east to
pay for goods. One year would drain
our state of all our currency, were it
not for the crops of Iowa farms, which
return the money, thus acting as a
balance-wheel to trade. To lessen the
price of farm products is to cut off to
that extent the golden stream from
the tills Of Iowa's merchants, causing
congestion of money in the east,
which destroys business in the west.
and in the course of time reacts on
the eastern or manufacturing states
also. For this reason free silver is
preferable for Iowa to protection, as
the farmers are really the foundation
of national prosperity, and 1t We're bet
ter for the whole nation to tax manu-
tacturers and give a bounty on each
Dushel Of crops raised than to tax
the farmers by protection for the bene-
fit of the lesser industry. manufacture

It is very significant that few. if any,
OF the contributors to the Jouanal's

This adds some corroborative evidence
to the already convincing proof that
the anti-Bryan forces, including most
of the employers of labor and most of
the bankers, have used their power

finances to suppress free expression of

Still another question;
If free silver triumphs would a man
lose anything If he borrows $4,000 to-
day and agrees to pay two years from
date in gold?
Certainly not. He could get the gold
far more easily than he can now. This
matter was quite fully explained in No.
49, The adoption of free coinage by
the United States would make gold
cheaper-its exchange value would be
less. II would take smaller quantity
of other things to procure gold dol
lar. This would be true whether gold
and silver remained at parity or not.
At the present time our entire demand
for coinage is concentrated upon gold.
If the whole or any portion of that de-
mand is withdrawn, gold must of neees-
sity get cheaper.
Even though it should all retire
from circulation, leaving us nothing but
silver and paper as currency, this
would still be true. Indeed if we
stopped using gold altogether it would
make it cheaper than If we only partly
stopped.

Coat Of Production.

From a farmers point of view the
position that some OF the writer's take
that farmer can do nearly as well
now as he could when prices for farm
produce were higher, say in 1870, on
account OF the supplies he has to buy
being lower. is very absurd to say the
least. In order TO si,e~ tie difference

Coinage Against 1t.

Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, spoke
the other night in New York city in
opposition to Bryan. The substance
slider later, says the New York Journal
in commenting thereon. To-day we
ask the people to consider somewhat
the earlier utterances on the issues Of
this campaign which Thurston deliv-
cred with all the eloquence and all the
seeming Interchangeable conviction
which characterized his address of last
night
In 1893, for example. when he was
seeking election to the post he now fills
in the United States senate, he wrote
to the chairman of the Nebraska repub-
lican convention a letter in which,
among other things favorable to sill
yer, he said:
ADVOCATED THE RESTORA-
TON OF FREE COINAGE BEFORE
ANY OF THOSE WHO ARE NOW
THE SELF-SELECTED CHAMPIONS
OF SILVER IN NEBRASKA HAD
EVER OPENED THEIR LIPS ON
THE SUBJECT. WE OF

MONEY. NOT MONEY INTRINSI-
CALLY CHEAP, BUT CHEAP IN IN
TEREST CHARGES FOR ITS USE.
ASSERT THAT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND EsPECI-
ALLY THOSE OF THE WEST, DE-
MAND THE FREE AND UNLIMITED
COINAGE OF SILVER.
About the same time Mr.. Thurston
took to writing letters to that remark
able economist, Mr.. George Gunton, of
this city. In one of these communi-
cations, written in July 1898, he said
and perhaps it might be well to com
pare this utterance with some para
graphs in last nights speech:
HAVE NO DOUBT THE REMON-
ETIZATION OF SILVER IN THE
UNITED STATES WOULD SPEED
lily AND CERTAINLY APPRECI-
ATE THE PRICE OF SILVER, NOT
ONLY IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT
THROU GHOUT THE WHOLE

The Journal submits these extracts
from the published writings of Mr..
John M. Thurston with entire conf
dence that Senator John NJ. Thurston
can confute them. A gentleman who
can be at the same time senator of the
United States and attorney for the
Union Pacific Railroad company is not
likely to be disconnected by little in
consistencies in his record.

The Inevitable "obJse. Lesson.

With all the money and talent at the
command of the republican managers.
We should think that it might be pos
sible to carry on more effective meth
cd OF campaigning than this, which we
find reported with artless admiration in
one of our Mckinley contemporaries:
Lake Linden, Mich, Sept. 5.-The
Calumet and Hecla Mining company,
with three thousand employees and
wage list Of more than $500 900 a month,
will give its men an object lesson in the
undesirable results of free silver. Every
man will receive his wages in silver on
the monthly pay day, Sept. 8. This
means that about eighteen tons of the
white metal will be distributed, and
Seach man will carry home from four
to sixteen pounds of silver dollars.
Z The idea is to show the inconvenience
which would result to business In car
rying on the business of the country
with silver. 1t is said the Quincy Min
ing company, with a pay roll of more
than 100000 a month, will follow the
example of the Calumet and Heela.
Thu managers of the Calumet and
Hecla Mining company must be men OF
ability, or they could not have carried on
their great business so successfully, but
F.. evidently they do not credit their en-
ployes with equal intelligence. Their
