REPUBLICAN, RESOLUTIONS.

Following II the resolutions pass
cd at the republican state fconven-
ton held at Huron March 25th:
"We are faithfully welded to the
great principles Of protection by
every tie OF party fealty, and more
devoted supporters among the great
masses OF American people, irrespec-
tive OF party, than at any other pre-
yiOus period in u national history.
it is V e recognized and endorsed as
the great mast0riul, triumphant
American principal, the key to our
prosperity in business and the safest
prop 20 the treasury of the United
States and the bulwark of our ma
tional independence and financial
honor.
Whereas, there is u diversity of
opinion among the republicans of
the state upon the financial question;
and, whereas, we have perfect conf
dence in the wisdom and patriotism
OF the republican party that shall
assemble at st. Louis next June that
it will consider and adopt a platform
broad end strong enough for every
republican to stand upon; Therefore
We reattirm our devotion'and loyalty
to the platfOrmadopted at Minneap-
oils in 1892 and adopt it as our
platform until the national republi-
can convention shall give us another.
"Resolved, that those persons Sc
lected as delegates to represent the
people OF this state in the coming ma
tional convention to be held at st.
Louis be and they are hereby in
structed to use every legitimate and
honorable means ut their command
to secure by that convention the
presidential nomination of William
Mckinley as the standard bearer OF
our party in the approaching cam
paign.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an ,fnfamed condition of The
mucous lining Of the Eusiachian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have o
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its.
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out Of ten are caused By
catarrh, which is nothing but an inHsmed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.

Vermont as an Example.

George Fred Williams has been Try
ing to brighten Vermonters into a part
nership with populism. He said in his
recent speech at Newport that in the
ten years from 1880 to 1890 the farming
lands of Vermont shrunk S30,000,000
in value, and all because gold was
made the money standard. Those
who have read this financial apostate's
speeches elsewhere, and seen how mer-
cilessly his statistics have been riddled
by the publication of the real facts, are
not greatly disturbed by his statements.
Conceding that Vermont real estate
deprecated in value during the period
named, to the extent stated, we have
only Mr.. Williams barren statement
that the cause was the decentralization
of silver, the statement of man who
has suddenly undergone change in
his financial belief as violent and rad
ical as a swing in a day from the tenets
of strictest orthodoxy in religion to
rankest and most blasphemous infidel-
ity. Such a man is utterly unworthy of
trust as leader or belief as a teacher.
Now as to Vermont: Had there been
the depreciation stated it would inevi-
tably appear in the appraisal for tax
alton. In 1880 the valuation of real
estate was ST. 100000. In that year
the legislature passed stringent list
ing law, designed to secure an ap-
praisal of property at fair estimate of
its value, its value in the settlement Of
solvent estate. In 1881 the appraisal
rose to S102, 437, 102. That was an ap-
prasal made under an iron clad oath by
competent men. Ten years later, in
1891, covering the period Mr.. Williams
uses for evidence in his indictment of
the national financial system, the ap-
prasal of real estate under the same
law and requirements was S10S,379, 75l,
an increase of some six millions, but if
Mr.. Williams statement was correct
the appraisal should have been some
100000 Farm products, some of
them, have fallen. So have the prod
ucts of the mill, the mine, of every iu-
dustry. The question is has the farm
er's or the mechanics dollar, or any
body's dollar, really lost anything of
its relative purchasing power by the
fall in prices? When that question has
been honestly answered the bottom
drops out of Mr.. Williams elaborate
scare argument.

Political Notes.

Do you say that you are against
Bryan, but not for Mckinley Then
you contradict yourself. III you are
against Bryan you want TO beat him,
and how can you beat him except by
being for Mckinley? In this
campaign whoever is not with the
forces of honor and honesty will be
against them. There is no middle or
third course.-New York Sun.
The farmers of Vermont know
that they can gain nothing by voting
for a dishonest dollar, and the silver
platform will not make votes for Bryan.
On the contrary, it will cause many
democratic farmers to vote the republic
can ticket. l believe that Mckinley
will carry Vermont by 10000 majority
1 believe that Vermont will go republi-
can in September by such a majority
that il will be shown clearly that the
farmers have not been caught by the
free silver bait.-Senator Proctor.
The Hon. George Fred Williams, the
Dedham reformed gold-bug, is engaged
in carrying Vermont for Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Williams seems hopeful of succeed.
ing in his task, but, as usual, his irwin.
chile modesty letters him little. {"
feel myself" he said at Newport, Vt.
"as if it had been given me to take
some part in the leadership of this
cause" Why "some ?" Why moi
"all ?" Whatever leadership he has he
gave to himself, and he shouldn't BIZ

The Silver BarOns.

The republican congressional cam
paign committee has given out state
ment showing the part played by the
owners of the silver mines of the
country in shaping the course of the
recent conventions, which have declared
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at 16 to l.
The statement is introduced with a
table giving the estimated wealth of
twenty-five individuals and corpora
tions engaged in silver mining and di-
rectly interested financially in the open
ing of the minis to free coinage. This
is the table:
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-08-12

the stump are crying out against mo-
nopolies. The committee concludes:
" 1t will thus be seen at a glance what is
involved in the election of Mr.. Bryan, not
counting the evils that would flow from the
retirement of upward OF 5000, 900 of gold
upon which the credit of the nation is
founded
The farmers and laboring men of the
United States are invited by these
men, of whom Senator Stewart, whose
wealth is put down at $40, 10000 is a
shining example, and by their political
allies, the populists and democrats,
headed by their great advocate and
leader, William j. Bryan, to become
their tools and dupes in putting into
execution this stupendous scheme of
spoliation. Senator Stewart shows his
appreciation of the utter hollowness of
the free silver contention by making
all his mortgages payable in gold, and
Governor Altgeld of Illinois, the head
of the free silver movement in that
state, stipulates that the rents of the
Unity Building Company in Chicago,
of which he is president and largest
stakeholder, shall be paid "in standard
gold coin of the United States" Will
the farmers aud the men of the great
industrial classes walk into the parlors
of these spiders?

tors. If the sound money democrats
will name two candidates for electors.
we should put them upon the ticket with
our two candidates for electors, and
elect the four with majorities hitherto
unheard of in the politics of the
state"
That is extending the olive branch in
letter and spirit by a republican of the
straightest sort. There is sense in this
proposition that should arrest the at
tention of those sound money but ex-
cessively orthodox democrats who are
insisting upon dividing the forces that
are fighting for the national credit by
putting third ticket in the field. In
union there is strength; in division
there is weakness.

Bryan the Candidate of a Glass.

For the first time an American pres
idential candidate, the Boy Orator of
the Platte, is running on platform
openly for class legislation. His lead
ing purpose is to legislate for the BEN
eft of the debtor class by making fifty
cents worth of silver into a dollar
That would enable debtors to scale
their debts one-half. Compared to the
great body of the public the debtor
class is small. Among the creditors
there must first be counted every man
whose chief or sole possession is his
working body. There is yet to be paid
to him the wages which he may make
in the future. 1t would be better for
