UNION AND VICTORY.

The Sledge- ammer. of Meadville,
Pa, promulgates. the following plan:
Let each political party nominate
its choice for presidential candidate
and adopt its distinct platform.
Let all political parties opposed to
gold standard unite on one set of
presidential electors for each state,
pledged to vote as instructed.
Let the whole electoral vote of each
state be credited to the political party
in this union casting the most votes
in the state.
Let electors be instructed and
pledged to cast the total electoral
vote of all the states for the candi-
date for President of the political par.
ty in this union credited with the
greatest number Of electoral votes.
By the same agreement the total
electoral vote shall be cast for Vice.
President for the candidate of the po-
litical party in this union credited
with the second highest number Of
electors.
Appointive Offices shall be given to
other parties to this union in accord
ance with the strength shown by the m
at election.
Isn't this basis of union equitable?
Who dare predict failure for such a
union? By this union people could
vote for principle and be reasonably
sure Of success.

speaker if the gold bugs had gobbled up all
the money and the people were paupers, if
the silver bugs did not do the same thing.
This answer quickly came:
We have not had silver bug in the
United States since 1873, but we are coming,
as to father Abraham, 300 900 strong We
expect to elect president, house and a
senate without mensl.ke you. The money
Of this country is cnngested In the Golfers
OF Wall street, and that Is why the men Of
the south and west complain.
Why do you hear talk now Of 5O-cent
dollar? Because the ratio has been des-
troyed by congress and it is now worth but
so or so cents. Why is it today at ratio
Of 33 to 1? Because congress, in 1873,
through the rascal:ty of Sherman, made It
SO. They protected one metal and threw
the other out of doors.
At the conclusion of the speech free sill
yer resolutions were adopted, and William
P. st. John was delegated to go to the
democratic and populist conventions to
press them upon the delegates. A call for
the silver convention in st. Louis, July %
to nominate or indorse presidential can
didate was read, closing the meeting.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

The people of America from tradi-
tion and interest favor bimetallism,
and the Republican party demands
the use Of both gold and silver as
standard money, with such restric-
tions and such provisions to be deter
mined by legislation as will secure the
maintenance of the parity of the
values Of two metals. From Republi-
can National Platform, 1892.
The existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver and
paper currency now in circulation
must be maintained at a parity with
gOld, and we favor all measures de-
signed to maintain inviolably the
obligations of the United States and
all our money, whether coin or paper,
at the present standard, the standard
Of the most enlightened nations Of
the earth.-From Republicans Nation

NEBRASKA LOSING IN VALUATION.

Lincoln, Neb., June 26-State Auditor
Moore has received assessment returns of
the valuation Of the state from sixteen
counties. Twelve of these counties show
decrease from the valuation Of 1895 of
the amount in round numbers, of 81, 1,1S5,
6O0 -Four Of them show an increase OF
$93, 900, making total decrease Of ST.
092, 900. This proportion, II sustained
throughout the remainder Of the ninety
counties, would result in decrease in the
state from the 1895 valuation of &, SOC, 900
in round numbers. This decrease in valu-
alton is not quite 50 large as has been
shown in previous years, but it is .consid-
cred far greater than the facts warrant.
The valuation in 1898, was, in round num-
bers, $195, ,00O, 900: In 1894, $183, 900, 900;
In 1896. $171 900. 900.

FREE COINAGE.
HOW 1T WILL HELP US.

-
Mr.. Whitney tells us that any move on
our part to lift the yoke Of vassalage to
Great Britain and free our producing
classes from the onerous tribute that
now rests upon them must end in disaster.
Mr.. Whitney te,!s us IN effect that it Is
sound money or disaster; that any attempt
on our part to do away with the two-hun-
dred-cent dollar that is sapping our vi
tality must end in disaster The truth Is,
disaster can only be averted by doing away
with this 200-cent dollar. The alterna-
tives that confront us are not sound
money or disaster, but free coinage or
bankruptcy. Unless we open our mints
to silver, check the appreciation Of gold
and free our producing classes from the
onerous tribute to the creditor classes OF
Great Britain which the approaching gold
standard lays upon them, bankruptcy is
Inevitable.
Mr.. Whitney tells us free coinage would
mean silver-monometallism On the con-
trary, free coinage would force bimetal-
Ism. Why the opening of our m:nts to
silver could not fail to re-establish b.
metallism and the parity between gold
and silver We have pointed out in an
other editorial. Mr.. Whitney tells us
our international exchange muSt be paid
In gold, and he tells us the interest and
principal Of the obligations we have given
to our foreign creditors-mortgaxes rail
road bonds, etc., are quite generally
made payable specifically in gold. But II
Is with commodities not gold, that we pay
our foreign creditors. It IS not question
of the number Of grains Of gold called for
IN our bonds and mortgages, but OF the
sacrifice OF labor and the expenditure OF
energy we must make to obtain those pre-
cious grains Of god. Our creditors dc
not want gold for COLDS sake. They have
no use for gold save to spend it, and they
will spend it where it will buy the most
So, if 1t VIII buy more in America thar

taking our commodities in payment, ii
place of gold. When prices are high, then
gold IS cheap and our foreign charges pay
able in god are not onerous; but, Just as
prices fall, gold becomes dear and the bur-
den Of our foreign debt becomes harder to
bear.
We pay the interest on our foreign debt
TO our British creditors by exports Of COM
modities sod in England. Inc higher the
prices we get, the lighter will be the. bur-
dens Of our indebtedness; and the opening
81 our m.nts to silver Will enable our pro
hucers to get higher prices. How!

Simply because the increased demand for
silver caused by opening our m:nts to sill
yer and the decreased demand for gold due
to the throwing upon silver, equally with
gold the burden Of effect!ng our exchanges
and supporting our credit fabric, would
cause the gold-price OF silver to rise until
the parity between gold and silver at, the
old ratio would be restored. And, Just
as silver rose, the cost to all gold-us.ng
peoples, buying IN silver-using countries
and paying with silver, would rise with the
gold-price in silver or silver exchange
which they have to buy and send in settle
ment for purchases made ia such coun-
tries.
So. just as silver rose, the British trader
would turn to lis to make the purchases
of cotton and wheat and other produce he
has bought, since the demonetization Of
silver. IN ever enlarging volume, from
countries in which gold is at premium
