GOV. ALTaELD ON THE STUMP.
The Democratic Campaign in Illinois
Opened at Girard

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 30.-Governor
Altgeld opened the political campaign at
Girard yesterday. Delegations were present
from many other cities and farmers for twenty
miles around. A procession of marching
clubs 5000 strong escorted him to the public
square, where he addressed an audience of
between $1,000 and 10000 people. Cover
nor Altgeld spoke in part as follows:
''We are now in the midst of the greatest
crisis that ever confronted this republic. In
1861 the Union was confronted with dissolu-
ton, which meant anarchy in respect to gov
ernment and perpetuation of the African
slavery. In 1896 we are confronted with the
question of perpetually enslaving the white
race. We are confronted with the question
whether we shall install the English shylock
as taskmaster over all the generations of
Americans that are yet TO come. We are not
proposing to wrong anybody. We are pro-
posing 20 give every man his due.
''We are not suggesting experiment; we
are demanding return TO the experience of
the world for thousands of years, and we say
that this experiment Of trying to force the ma
tions of the earth onto gold basis for the
benefit of European creditors is running the
American people. We propose to pay back
the English creditors in the same money they
give us-gold and silver. Wepropose to give
them dollars that shall have the same pur-
chasing power; that will buy as much prop
erty and as much labor of every kind as the
dollars they gave us. We propose to pay
them principal aud interest in exactly the
same money which they gave us, and we say
that their act in getting silver demonetized
and gold made dearer, after they had sue
eeeded in getting our bonds and notes, so as
to compel us to pay in different kind of
money from what they gave us-to pay in
dollars which cost twice as much sweat
twice as much blood-was fraud and
crime against civilization.
This is not partisan question-not a
question of Republicanism or of Democracy.
John Sherman and Cleveland are sleeping
together. 1t is question of patriotism. 1t
is a question of maintaining the institutions
of the fathers, for if the present standard is to
be maintained, if our people must go on pay
ing interest and principal in dollars that re-
quire twice us much labor, twice as much
sweat, twice as much blood to obtain as did
the dollars that were in circulation when the
debts were created, them the doom Of Amer
lean producers is sealed.
II ask you to support Bryan and humanity
against Mckinley and plutocracy | ask yon
to support the institutions of the fathers
against the dictation of foreign shylocks.
ask you to sustain policy which gives every
man his due on the one hand and on the
other will make it possible for every indus
trious and intelligent man to make living.

A Query and Answer.


MEssRs. EDTroRs-I have seen it stated that our
silver dollars only worth fifty cents in England
and are no more valuable than the Mexican dollar.
Is this trueg ENQUIRER.
No. The silver dollar of the United
States is worth as much in England as the
gold dollar. England imports our wheat,
cotton, tobacco. beet and other products.
She pays for it in American money, gold and
silver, and no one would sell her silver dol
lars for less than they could get for them in
this country. If Enquirer were in England
and had $1,000 in silver would he sell silver
dollars for fifty cents on the dollar and allow
the importer of our wheat, cotton, tobacco,
&C., make $500? Oh, no If he desired to
exchange it for English money, he would buy
a thousand dollars worth of American wheat
corn or tobacco aud sell it for an equivalent
of one thousand dollars of English money.
The Mexican dollar would probably not be
worth more than the commercial value of the
silver in it, because England imports very
little from Mexico, and could not exchange
it for Mexican products.

Palmer and Ruclner.

The Hannacrat convention at Indianapolis
nominated John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois, for
President, and Simon Bolivar Buckner, OF
Kentucky, for Vice President. Palmer was
a Republican until the Greeley movement,
and after ten years retirement thought he
was Democrat. Buckner is what the North
ern people style ..Rebel Brigadier.n The
platform is unlike anything ever promulgated
in America before. Mere errors could scarcely
have been compressed in SO short a paper.

Isidor Raynor wrote for the Baltimore Sun
an article on wages. The object was 10 show
that rents and cost Of living would go up in
the event of free coinage of silver, and that
laboring men would suffer. The whole argu-
ment rests on two fallacies-frst, that silver
dollars would be worth but fifty cents; and
second, that wages of labor are always sta
tionary. When this government viii coin
silver at the rate of $l.29 cents an ounce, that
viii be the worlds price; and the wages OF
labor will depend mostly upon the supply and
demand for labor. Asst has been stated hun
dreds of times, when two laborers are after
the same job wages win be low, and when
two employers are after one laboler wages
will be high.

The Vermont Election.

There was an election in Vermont last
Tuesday for Governor, Legislature and Con-
gressmen. The Republicans swept the state,
and every McKinleyite, corporation attorney,
trust president, railroad magnate and million
aires in general has tiekled nearly to death.
All say that it means the annihilation of Bryan
in November. But the gold press and Nc
Kinley managers are working as hard now as
before Vermont spoke to secure Mckinley 5
election, thus negativing their own assertions
While the majority in Vermont is larger than
usual, reaching nearly forty thousand, the
Democrats increased their vote over that of
of 1894 by over 300 Vermont has been an
overwhelmingly Republican state since 1856,
and the majorities in recent years have fallen
below thirty thousand simply because many
Republicans would not take the trouble to
vote, knowing the state was safe for the Re-
publican party.
The same people who now see such signifi-
cance in the result in Vermont attached no
importance to the increase OF 1900 in the
Democratic majority a month ago in Alabama.
They said that was expected, when every one
of them expected to see the majority cut
down, for there was a coalition of ofRepublicans
and Populists.
Mark Hanna made special efforts to make
great showing in Vermont. Speakers from
other states were sent there and piles Of
money also. The Democrats did not have
any outside aid, for it was useless to expend
energy on a state that was certain for McKin-
ley as Vermont. 1t would have been foolish
to have done so.
Maine has an election next week, and
full Republican majority is expected. In
November, however, the great Democratic
party will be at the polls from Maine to Cali
fornia and from the Lakes to the Gull, and
they will sweep the country as it has not been
done since the days of jackson.

The Farmers Duty.

No farmer can raise wheat at so cents a
bushel and prosper.
How can farmer, then, with mortgage
on his farm, expect to maintain his family
and pay off the mortgage.
Measured in wheat, corn and oats, his taxes
are nearly three times as high now as in 1878,
when silver was demonetized and the volume
Of currency thereby was contracted one-half
And debts made in the last six or eight years
have been nearly, or quite, doubled, when
measured in farm products, and interest is
about twelve per cent. instead of six.
Every farmer, who looks to his own inter-
est must vote for Bryan and sewall and free
coinage of gold aud silver.

This Campaign in History.

From the Spokane (wash,) Chronicle
When the historian of future century
seeks to sketch the whole inner meaning of
this marvellous campaign in a single para
graph, he will seize for his dramatic climax
not the Chicago demonstration nor the bon
fires that will be burning on election night;
he will choose this scene in Madison Square
Garden, where Bourke Cochran, sleek, fat
apostle of the respectable gospel of gold,
faces that distinguished audience of .'promi-
nent business men, financiers, miIlionaires,
bankers, and railroad Presidents, y and cries
in tones Of sorrow, anger, and scorn
Men of New York, toilers of America,
guardians of your own homes, viii you allow
your rate Of wages to be affected ~
And up from that vast audience comes the
heartfelt cry Of the prominent business men,
fnanciers, millionaires, bankers, and railroad
Presidents in thunder tones

Free Coinage and the Farm.

We wish to call the attention of subscribers to
that pioneer free silver paper. the Farm, Field and
Fireside of Chicago For eight years its editors
have been urging this great ISSUE and now that the
movement has attained such vast proportions and
they are making greater efforts than ever to spread
the light, it is just to them that every believer in
American money for Americans should lend his
best efforts towards extending the circulation of
the Farm, Field and Fireside.
Besides it is a simple fact that as an agricultural
weekly 1t has superior, and few equals. We ad-
wise our readers to avail themselves of this special
campaign offer of only 10 cents per subscriber until
election time, or o5 cents for the balance of the
year. Sample copies of the paper and free coinage
literature will be sent to all who make application

Some of MoKinley's Supporters.
From the Pittsburg Post.

Call the roll Of the millionaire supporters
of Mckinley, both Democrats and Republ-
cans, and you will find that they cover the
trust and monopoly interests of the United
States. They are banded in solid phalanx on
behalf of the Republican candidate. They
are lavish in their money to corrupt the elee-
torate that Mckinley may succeed, and from
one end of the country to the other are using
the agencies of intimidation, possessed by
them as great employers of labor. to coerce
their employees into voting for Mckinley.
The Democratic advocate., 1896-09-05

The followers of the Indianapolis conven-
ton have been dubbed ''Hannacrats. They
expect to put an electoral ticket in the
field in Maryland and count on fifteen thou
sand votes. They will all come creeping back
into the Democratic party after awhile, but not
one ofthem should be given position ofhonor
or emolument until he has proved his De-
mocracy by several years of faithful service.
and every one who holds a position under the
party should resign.
The Democratic advocate., 1896-09-05

Every gold standard country must
have silver currency. This is not
doubted. When the United States
adopts bimetallism and will coin
silver at the ratio to gold of i6 10 l.,
or at S1.29 per ounce for silver,
$1.29 an ounce will be the worlds
price, for no one will sell silver to
England, France or Germany or
any other country for less than the
coinage value in the United States.
This explOdes the 5O-cent silver
dollar fallacy.

Some artist ought to get up two pictures,
one of John X. Cowen on the stage at Odd
Fellows Hall, Westminster, in December,
1895, advocating free trade and denouncing
the Mckinley robber tariff, and the other
with the same Cowen voting ballot in No
vember, 1896, inscribed Mckinley, Protec-
ton aud Prosperity. Cowen is the greatest
topper of the age and the most erratic man
in politics in this state.

Bryan's Reception in New York.
From the chicago Record qnd: Rep.j

From the Chicago Record Qnd. Rep)
Judging by the superficial indications of
large crowds aud hearty applause. Mr. Bryan
was wise in following his own counsel and
making tour of the Empire State. 1t is
rather a remarkable journey which the young
Nebraska orator has been making. 1t seems
that he can't make speeches enough to suit
the people, while his progress is interrupted
at every point for period Of handshaking
and short address, The demonstrations
mean, if they mean anything. that there are
many persons in the East who regard the
orator and his views with favor. Mr.. Bryan
has not only escaped discourtesy, but he has
been received with enthusiasm-a fact which
the people who insist that silver is 9. purely
sectional issue would do well to consider.
The Democratic advocate., 1896-09-05

The farmer who does not vote for Bryan
and Sewall deserves all the oppression he has
and will receive should Mckinley be elected.
If wheat goes to forty cents bushel, in the
event of McKinley's success, he will have
only himself to blame.

Issues a Circular Letter on His
Recent Utterances.

WASHINGTON, Sept. The following CIR
cular letter to the Knights of Labor will ap-
pear in the forthcoming number of their Off
cial Journal
Washington, Aug. 81.
The Order, Wherever Found-Greeting
Terence Vincent Powderly, who for four
teen years prior to November, 1898, was the
chief officer in the Knights Of Labor, has
been recently quoted in the press dispatches
as stating authoritatively that the free coinage
of silver is no portion of the preamble or
creed of the Knights of Labor.
have claimed now for three years that Mr..
Powderly was a monomaniac upon the one
subject Of I. V. Powderly, however sane he
might be considered upon matters not affect
ing his personality, and | cannot at this time
refrain from entering into a short retrospect
of the career of the man whose unexampled
egotism was one of the chief causes that
brought strife and dissension for time into
our sanctuaries.
The free and unlimited coinage of silver
has been one of the main demands of the
Knights of Labor since the Atlanta session of
the General Assembly in 1889. 1t has been
Reimbursed specifically since that time at Den
yer in 1890, at Toledo in 1891 and at st. Louis
in 1892, and our legislative committees have
been instructed to make that, with the land
pihhhoy thcii CiliCi C4Ec.
Mr. Powderly, as chairman of delegation
representing this order, attended conferences
and conventions of the Farmers Alliance and
the Peoples party at Ocala, Omaha, Wash
ington and st. Louis, where the Knights of
Labor were again pledged to the support of
this measure, with his active cooperation and
consent; he is on record in more than one of
his official reports as being personally a warm
adherent OF these doctrines and his present
attitude is simply discarding of the mask.
All he has and knows he owes to the
Knights of Labor all he is he is himself re-
sponsible for. Let us permit I. " Powderly
to pass quietly into oblivion.
