ONE THING NOTICEABLE.

The silverites are engaged just at
present in publishing accounts as to
the prosperity of Mexico, and in near
ly every instance they declare that
the prosperity of Mexico is far greater
than in this country, and then they
follow it with prices to prove their
assertion. There is one great trouble
with their figures, and ,that is that
they represent Mexican money, which
has only one-half of the purchasing
power OF the money of this country,
and this places the purchasing power
of the wage-earners income at only
one-half that those in this country en-
Joy. This alone would be serious
matter, as it puts the incomes greatly
below the average of this country.
But there in one thing that the sill
verites are very careful to conceal,
and that is the price of all necessaries
of life. They range from two to
three times as high as in this coun-
try, so that the ability of the wage
Garner is reduced to the minimum in
providing the comforts and necessi-
ties of life. In fact he can only get
the barest necessities and is obliged
to let the comforts go. The only
thing thing that they can point to in
his favor is the climate, which allows
him to get along somewhat cheaper
than one can in this country.
There is one thing very noticeable
and that is Notwithstanding the great
prosperity they say exists there, moth
ing is heard of the thousands of
idle workmen in this country emigrat-
ing there. A thing that would be
very likely were their assertions
strictly true.

Minnesota, should help by his vote to
elect John Lind governor of the state.
WHAT WOULD FOLLOW.

In his address in this city last Mon
day evening Senator Davis called at
tention to matter that demands the
thought of every voter, and this was
a to what would take the place of
g old in case free coinage Of silver
should win. In such an event the
5000, 900, 900 of gold would at once dis
appear from our volume of circulation
never to reappear, SO long as silver
monometallism is adhered to. What
would take it's place? The free silver
ties say silver. But it has been re-
peatedly shown that this would be
impossible, because the minis could
not coin it fast enough. Senator
Davis said that he did not agree with
many that this country would be
made dumping grounds for silver,
because outside of one or two nations
there is no silver to spare. But said
the Senator, supposing this country
could absorb the total silver product
of the world, which it could not, that
is only 5000, 100000 annually, and it
would take three years at the best to
simply replace the gold lost,and in the
meantime depression unequaled in
the worlds history would exist. What
would be done in the meantime
What could be done but to issue
5000, 100000 of irredeemable paper,
which piled upon the millions we al
ready have would rapidly depreciate.
What would follow? Just would in
the event of free silver? The cheap
silver dollar having driven out the
more valuable gold dollar, and the
cheap irredeemable paper dollar
would then perform like service to-
ward silver and necessitate another
great issue of paper, and that is just
what the Weavers, Donnelly's and
many other leaders of the POpOcratic
combination want. But do the peo-
pie? Do they want to descend into
such a pit of misery? The history of
past experiences Elm this and other
countries should be sufficient to turn
the people away from another ex-
pertinent of this kind that will result
if the Popocratic combination should
be placed in power.

WHEREIN THE DIFFERENCE.

The Penny Press, of Minneapolis, in
abiding to the arrangements made
for the sound money demonstration
in that city Wednesday night, and
that it had been arranged for Mr.. G.
A. Pillsbury and Bourke Cochran to
appear together in the parade, said it
was "most fitting arrangement"
and added:
Both gentlemen are the representa-
tives of trusts, syndicates, bondholders
money lOanerS, the monsters OF greed.
Bourke Cochran represents the Nor
gans, the Belmonts, the Rothschilds,
hence Wall street and Lombard street.
Mr.. Pillsbury as the head of a large
English syndicate, whose owners, liv-.
ing in England, spending the earnings
of their American investments in
England and through their legal rep
resentatives are trying to so shape
the legislation Of this country as to
best further their own interests.
Granting that it is true that both
of these gentlemen do represent large
English syndlcates which are making,
or have made in the past, heavy in
vestments in this country, does it
make them any worse then the men
who are standing back of William
Jennings Bryan, and who are asso-
ciated with Englith capitalists and
Syndicates in the ownership Of the
great silver mines of the country, and
who are asking that the people of this
country shall take the product of their
mines at twice its real value? Will
the Penny Press assert, granting that
it's assertion above quoted regarding
Messrs. Cochran and Pillsbury is
strictly true. that they represent any
greater monsters Of greed, than do
the representatives of the silver syn
dicates who are backing Mr.. Bryan?
Stop your false representations that
Bryan's fight is that of the masses
against the classes and answer ques-
tion fair and square. just define
wherein greed is any worse on the
part OF Messrs. Cochran and Pillsbury,
than on the part of Messrs. Stewart
and Teller, or any other silverite.
The public would be pleased to know
wherein the difference exists.

THEY CAN'T AGREE.

There is nothing which the Popo-
Gratis hate to give up as badly as they
do the thought of letting go Of the
forged article purporting to have
been taken from the columns of the
London Financial NeaOs. In spite of
the fact that it has been proven a
forgery and the editor of that journal
in sletter over his own name has
stated that the article in question
never appeared in the columns of
the Neous and that it in no way re-
fleets the views which that journal
holds upon financial questions, it is
still put forth by the Popocrats as
being genuine, and having appeared
in the columns of the Neaos But if
anything more was needed to prove
the weakness of their case, it is the
mix-up they make regarding dates.
When it was first published in this
campaign, it was credited as appear
ing in the Financial Neaos on March
10th last. Since the matter of for
gerry has come to light it has been dis
covered that the article appeared in
the Omaha WorId-Herald last Febru-
airy, so date previous to that time
had to be fixed upon. Now comes
the Denver Republican and makes a
new date for it. 1t fixes the time
the article appeared in the Neaos as
April 30, 1894, or nearly two years
earlier than first credited. Surely
the enemy seems to be hard on the
run. and badly pressed for facts.
Whether this is the date they will
finely stick to or not, is hard to tell.

THE Republicans of Amboy and
vicinity will organize Mckinley
Sound Money club this evening, and
have secured 1876 names to start with.
Two years ago, Senator Nelson's vote
in the town of Shelby was 152, and
that for Gov. Clough 157, and four
years ago Harrison's vote was 1877:
This shows healthy growth, and in
dicates that Shelby will roll up at
least 200 votes for the Republican
ticket this year. The silver craze
that'has been reported on our streets
as'raging bad in the vicinity of Amboy
has evidentlysubsided.

offered the position of secretary of
state, and should he be, there is little
question but that he would accept.
This would remove him from the
speakership, to which position he
would be unanimously chosen were he
to remain in the house. In such an
event it is thought that Gen. Hender-
son, of Iowa, and Joseph Cannon, of
Illinois, would become active candi-
dates for the place. But both of
them through their long service have
made many enemies, and it is not
thought by the best informed politi-
clans that either could develop
enough strength to secure the prize.
In such an event new man would
carry off the plum, and the man most
frequently mentioned in political
circles in Washington at present. is
said to be Congressman McCleary, of
this district. 1t is not known that he
will aspire to the position in event
circumstances so shape themselves,
but the high regard in which he is
held by the leading Republicans an
his growing popularity throughout
the country has caused comment to
turn in his direction. 1t is an honor
of no small moment to Minnesota and
the Second district, that he should be
favorably looked upon in this connec-
tion and shows how he is regarded in
the high councils of the party.

WHEN William J. Bryan was nomi-
mated, says the New York Mail and
Cypress, silver was worth SO cents per
ounce, and the silver dollar was in
trinsically worth So 34-10O cents. To-
day the market price of silver is GA
centa per aunce, and the silver dollar
SO 6-10O cents Either the great
spectators of the world have little
confidence in Mr.. Rryan's election, or
else they do not believe his statement
that, in the event of his election,
silver will be worth 81 20 per ounce.

SOME fellow without any fear Of the
pr esent or the hereafter in his mind
has taken piece of paper and scrib-
bled off the Popocratic majority in Sc
states as he woul dixie to have them
go. He gives Minnesota a majority
for Bryan of 10000, Wisconsin the
same. Illinois $4,000, Iowa 10000,
and the other states in like manner.
He sets down that this will give
Bryan 324 electoral votes, and con-
cedes SO to McKinley.- There have
been several admissions into the in
sane hospitals of the country during
the past few days. and he is probably
one of them. The most charitable
view that can be taken
of the estimate is that
he got the names reversed, land should
have written Mckinley instead of
Bryan. But the people will not have
it his way on Nov. Sd little bit.

WHY A MARKET FOR ONE CLASS.

"Under the free coinage of gold any
man who produces gold can take the
gold to the mint and have it con-
verified into money and then that
money is for his use, and the moment
he uses it he puts it into circulation,
and must use it because it is of no
value to him until he does. Now if a
man produces silver he must go out
and find somebody who wants to make
spoons out of his silver, but under the
free coinage of silver he can take it to
the mint and have it converted into
dollars. D VIM. j. Bryan.
Why don't you feel bad. Mr.. Bryan,
because the farmer has to go out and
and some one who wants to eat his
wheat. or his pork, horses to consume
his oats, and people to take his but
ter. If it is such an awful thing for
the silver miners to hunt up custo-
mers for their silver, why IS it not
just as terrible thing for the farmers
to hunt up customers for their pro-
duct. Why lavish all your sympathy
upon the farmer, but ask for the ma
terial advantages to be given to the
producer of silver bullion? The
farmer has no silver bullion to dispose
of, but he has wheat cotton, corn,
oats, barley, butter, eggs, pork and
beef, and the silver product dwindles
into comparative insignificance be-
side the product of the farm. The
commercial value of the silver pro-
duct of the United States in 1891 was
S57, 100000, and its coinage value $780,
AT 200. In that year the value of the
cotton crop was $3.50, 100000, or more
than four times the coinage value of
silver, and more than six times it's
commercial value. The wheat crop
for that year was worth, in round
mum bers, S400, 100000 or over five times
the coinage of silver tor that year,
and twice the value of the LCUai silver
product Of the world. The corn crop
for that year was valued at over $780,
600, 900, more than Ten times the coin
age value of the silver product of the
country for that year, and four times
that of the world. And even the egg
crop OF the country exceeded it in
value from fifteen to twenty million
dollars.
But no one has heard Mr.. Bryan
making any complaint because the
thousandSof producers of these pro-
ducts are Obliged to hunt up buyer
for them, and who will say that they
are not as deserving Of care In this re-
spect as is the producer Of silver bull
lion. If the game is to be the provid-
ing of market for that product by
the government. Mr.. Bryan talks
about this being fight OF the masses
against the classes, while at the same
time he is simply advocating legisla-
tion in favor of class, and against
the masses. Where is his consistency
or even his honesty?

Republican County Ticket.
WHEREIN POLITICALLY is HE
BETTER.

What Populism has done for Kansas
the election of John Lind would do
for Minnesota Cloud Journal
Press.
Right true that is. And it is only
aquestion as to whether the people
of this state want it KansasiZed or
not. And when attention is called to
this fact, the Popocratic press and
leaders at once cry out that the Re-
publicans are abusing John Lind, and
declare that they were only too glad
to do him honor when he was train
ing in Republican ranks. We have
looked closely for this abuse which
our PopOcratic friends are so worried
about and so far have failed to find it.
But there is one thing they fail to re-
eognize in the attitude of the Re-
publicans toward John Lind in this
campaign, and that is that he has
changed his views entirely since he
trained with the Republicans, with
the possible exception of silver, and
upon that even, he has become more
radical. AS to his views personally
the Republicans have nothing to do
with, and care nothing. But with
his political views they are some
what concerned and have perfect
right to criticise so long as he is as
piring for the highest office in the
tot Mr. ir6 n
the Republicans he held Republican
views, but today he accepts the
views of the Popocratic crowd he is
training with, many Of them being
most dangerous to the future welfare
Of the state and nation. He repre-
sents the same dangerous doctrines
that the Republicans have been
fighting for years back, and declares
that he stands squarely upon the Pop
ocratic platform. He goes farther by
saying that this is campaign of the
poor against the rich and in the same
breath declares for policy which
would give the rich English syndi-
Gates owning the silver mines Al cents
on the dollar if it was carried out
and then scolds about inaugurating a
British policy of money in this coun-
try.
1t is not John Lind personally, but
bhe dangerous Popocratic views he
accepts and advocates, that the Re-
publicans object to, and in advocat-
ing them, and declaring if elected he
will to the full extent Of his ability
carry them out, he stands just as dan
gerOuS, and as great menace to the
future welfare of the state as does
L.. Donnelly or s. M. Owen.
And there is another matter. II
John Lind is elected governor of Min
nesota on Nov. Sd next, it must be
by the aid of Republican votes.
There are many Republicans who
have been inclined to vote for him
because they look upon him political
ly as he used to be, and not as he is
today. They would not vote for
either Donnelly, or Owen as they
would regard the success of either as
dangerous TO the future interests of
the state. 1t is just as dangerous to
elect Mr.. Lind today as it would be
either of the former, because business
interests abroad will size him up as
they do Donnelly and Owen from his
expressed political views Thousands
o. Democrats will not vote for him
for this reason, and for the same rea-
son no Republican who WISHES IA
share of the prosperity which will
follow the Republican victory at the
polls next November, to fal! upon
