or Interest TO Republicans.

or Interest to Republicans.
Mr.. Bryan never spoke more truth
fully than when he declared, in one
of his speeches in New York, that
no party in this country had ever, in
a national convention, declared for
the gold standard or said it was a
good thing. THE Rump Parliament
at indianapolis had not then been
heidi If Republican voters wish to
know something of what their great
men and their party conventions
have heretofore declared on the sill
yer question let them read and pom
der the following, and ais 20 recall the
position taken by their party leaders
and party press only two years ago ::
Every man who is opposed to the
use of silver as part of the legal cur.
rency Of the country disagree with.
Every man who is opposed to the
actual legal use of both metals dis
agree with. l would endow the
two dollars with equality and make
the coinage free.-JdmeS A. Garfield.
on i'm this country and in other coun-
tries for single gold standard would,
if successful, produce widespread
disaster i'm the end, throughout the
world. The destruction of silver as
money and establishing gold ~ the
sole unit of value must have q ruin
Gus effect upon all forms OF property
except those investments which yield
"a fixed return in James q.
Blaine.
The Republican party is in favor
of the use of both gold and silver as
money and condemns the policy of
the Democratic administration in its
efforts to demOnetiZe silver.-Repu6-
Hcdm Platform Of 1888.
The American people, from t-adi-
ton and interest, favor bimetalism,
and the Republican party demands
the use of both gold and silver az
standard money.--Repu6licdn Ma
tiOnGI Platform Of 1892.
Some money lenders who are
money monopolists want scarcer
money that it may be dearer No
party has ever favored money mo-
contraction of the cur !
rency, or an unchanged volume of
which, with growing bu-
siness, would involve a relative con-
traction. Nine-tenths Of the peo- |
pie are bimetalists. They want both |
metals used because they believe both
are needed to sustain the worlds
The Republican party
honestly and intelligently answers
their wishes.-Repu6lican Campaign
Book Of 1892.
Is it not time for the people to
adopt financial policy that will suit
our own nation first, and let the debt
burdeued nations of Europe follow
our lead, if they wish to, since we
can show that within two hundred
years we have out-stripped them all
in progress of every kind ?-Repu6,
icdn Campaign Iert Book, 1894.
Prepared 6y National Republican
Congressional Committee.
With this record of party declara-
ton and principle before them, we
ask our Republican friends, in all
sincerity, what they have to say
about the following declaration Of
the st. Louis platform, so clearly at
war with the past record of their
party:
g We are, therefore, opposed to the
free coinage of silver, except by in
ternational agreement with the lead
ing commercial nations of the world,
which we pledge ourselves to pro.
mote, and until such agreement can
be obtained the existing gold standard
must be Dreserred.D

all the troops Of the First artillery.
now stationed at various posts on the
Gulf and Atlantic COSTS, are to be
concentrated at Pensacola, Fla. for
practice with the modern heavy guus
which. will soon be in post on on Santa
Rosa Island. The selection of site
for another battery leaves no doubt in
the minds of military men that Pensa-
cola is to be heavily fortified as rapidly
as possible, and as the troops need
practice in the handling of the modern
guns this harbor is deemed by military
men to be the best that could be
selected for the purpose. They would
have the open gulf for target practice,
and at least 1000 men can be comfort
ably quartered at Fort Barraucas and
the navy yard.
