1.-The Truth Shall Make You
Free"

To the Editor of tho Dispatch:
l read with some care Mr.. Bryan's
last speech. 1t is honest, simple and
in search of truth. No calp trap; no
dodging issues. He said the people
were opposed to raising the miners
90 cent silver to 81, bat that legis.
lation (tho tariff, suppose), often
gnve the manufactured 20 and 500
per cent. profits. He might have
made this point stronger, it seems to
me. He might have added that the
law of 1873 robbed the silver men OF
half their wealth, and it was tho pur
pose CT the people now to restore
these men their rights. Who gave
Congress- tho right to dispoil the sill
ver-,nen of half their gains by de-
monctizing sllver' There is no such
right i'll the Constitution, nor in JUS
tice. BY tho way, who gave MIR.
Cleveland tho rigt to say silver was
not ''coin"9 Evory dictionary i'll the
English language says it is. Is he
wiser than the book makers2 If the
law meant gold why uot say SO? Was
the word likely to become obsolete?
Any Judge before whom such an is
sue was brought would decide -ho
must needs decide-that gold alone
was not meant. There was money
perhaps, ill the decision To coin
paper is simple nonsense (sce the
ROOT of the word). Coin is simpl,
metallic money. Only this and moth
ing more" L.

The Fair.

The Fair opened last Tuesday and
though we do not think the attend
ance was as large as on the first day
of previous years, the amusemehts
were very much above what they
have ever been, rs the racing was
the best ever seen in this section.
The attendance Wednesday was
somewhat better than on Tues6 ay,
but it was not what it ought to have
been The Association has gone to
considerable expense to get mp u
good fair and our people should show
their appreciation of the fact by turn
ing out and helping them along. We
will give fuller account of the Fair
next week. us we have not the time
or space we would like to give it

A Final Remedy.

A young lady once called on one of
Louisville's most prominent homoeo-
pathic physicians, and after discoursipg
on all tho topics of interest of the day,
settled down to tell her ailments Among
other thinGa, she said that she was
greatly annoyed with sinking feel
ing. The physician prepared little
bottle of pills and gave them to her,
with minute directions as to how they
should be taken. The woman again
began TO talk, and after many vain cf-
forts to get her out, she started for the
door. She had just opened It, when
she turned and said: ooh, doctor, what
shall do IL these pills do not cure me ."
"Take the cork" he retorted; "they
tell me that's good for sinking feel

FIAT PROSPERITY.

Devotion to McKinicyism Horn of tho Dis-
trosHes of Hard lines
There is cause for the mnrvelinR OF
the anti Mckinley bosses over the Me
Kinlcy tidal wnve which Is sweeping
over the republican party. 1t is a
craze for which no reasonable explana-
ton can be offered. Four years ago
Mckinley was condemned almost us
vigorously by the republicans as by
the democrats. Members of his own
party admitted that he was "one-
idea" extremist who could not be
trusted to direct legislation. McKin-
leyism was universally execrated as
the cause OF most of the woes into
which the country was then entering.
The democratic campaign, directed Ill
most wholly against the Mckinley
idea OF protection, resulted in n land
slide.
Now this sentimentin the republican,
masses is reversed. Mckinley is hailed
as the delivcrcr of tho country from
the pinch of hard times. His name is
associated with prosperity Repub-
lican leaders who attempt to combat
the uprising are driven TO the wall.
The Mckinley worshipcrs refuse to
ilSten 10 reason. Ihclr devotion Is
blind and fanatical.
The truth is that the blind devotion
to McKinleyism is founded on delu-
sive hope of fiat prosperity, born of tho
distresses of hard times. The McKin-
ley worshipers cherish the delusion
that in some mysterious way McKin-
ley's election will cause complete
change of industrial and commercial
conditions. In the current language
of this belief "the wheels of factories
aud mills will begin to turn. cold chin.
ncys will smoke, trade willresume and
labor will find employment ut good
wages" AS one of the republican
bosses said with sneer, five minutes
after Mckinley is inaugurated the man
who has goods to sell will get so per
cent more for them, the laborcr out of
employment will get an offer of IL Job
at high wages and the man who had a
dollar will find two in his pocket"
Reason is ovcrthrown in n craze Of
this kind. All that wise men can do is
to await the inevita ble disappointment
! which will re-establish her sway.-St.
Louis Republic

Dig down to tho cause of your
sicknvss, if you want to get we'll and
stay we'll. Most likely it's indigcs-
ton. The irritating poisons of fer
ncntipg, putrid food, left in the
stomach by indigestion, cause head
ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi
nesss, stomachache, nausea, irritabil
ity, and all the other wcll.known
symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which IRE often laid to 9th
er causes and hence arc not easily
cured. But as soon as the poisons
arc removed, all these symptoms and
disorders disappear, because there is
nothing left to cause them Nothing
succeeds in this like Shaker Diges-

undigested food from fermenting in
the stomach and helps the stomach
to digest its food.

The eojd-Standard Democrats.
washington Post.)


The whirligig OF time has during
has during the past ten or twelve
weeks whirled tue Maine Democrats
with such cyclonic vigor and through
so many strange vicissitudes that
common courtesy. not to say deceE
cy, demands the exercise of unusual
charity in commenting on the things
they have done, as we'll as on the
things they have not done. But
there is limit to that demand, and
the gold Democrats of the Pine Tree
State, although they follow the ex-
ample of some o. their overzealous
brethren i'll other States, have reach
ed point from which they should
DO called down. In the platform
which they adopted last week they
say: 1--WE absolutely repudiate and
dcnounce the Populistic assemblage
known as the Chicago convention,
aud everything eminating tberefrom.
The Post stuffed when the Chicago
convention was i'll session that it was
the most Democratic national con-
vontion ever held in the United
States. 1t WAS not only democratic
in tho broad sense. 1t was dominaed
by the opinions that large mnjori
ty of Democrats had long maintained.
The Democratic party has been u
free coinage party, silver party,
ever since tho currency issue came
into politics. Scores, if not hun
drods, of test votes in Congress
prove this. If Mr.. Cleveland had
not revitalized the tariff issue, push
ed it to tho trout, and held it there,
the currency question, the issue that
is Low on, would have split his par
ty in 1888, just as it has rent in 1896.
III these Maine Democrats believe, as
they profess, that free coinage
means reputation, dishonor, and
disaster, it is right for them to vote
against it, and they should put their
ballots where they will count against
free coinage. But it is worse than
folly for them to declare i'm Maine or
i'll Indiana, in state or in n national
platform, i'll speeches or in editorial
dellverances, that Bryan and Sewall
arc not tho candidates Of the Demo
cra'ic party. These men represent
tho views that n majority of the par.
ty have held for more than dozen
years.
1t is asserted by the gold Demo.
Gratis that Mr. Bryan "has repeatedly
stated that he should not support
the Democratic candidate this year
ii gold standard man were nomi
mated Suppose that to be true,
what of it? MIR. Bryan hiss never
said that if lie bolted he would still
bo Democrat. He has never said
that minority could bolt. and still
be the party He had right 10 sny
that if a majority decided against
his convictions he would stop out
The plain truth is that the Demo
cratic party is for free coinage and
the Republican party is opposed t,
that policy. This boiling Republi
cons arc supporting Bryan. In Sc
doing they give IL hint to tho bolt
ing Democrats. There are but two
Sides i'll this fight, aud thoro are not
two Democratic Or two Republican
parties.
