Germans Against Free Silver.

The Anzeigor des Westerns Of St.
Louis, leading German Democratic pa
per Of the southwest, Is disguised with
the free silver plank adopted by the
Democratic state convention. 1t says:
''Its authors identify themselves
prominently with this 16 to platform
as adherents Of the time honored prin-
ciples' formulated and practiced by
Jefferson, Madison, Jackson. Benton
and other great and distinguished Dem
ocrats. However, he who is in the least
acquainted with Democratic history
knows that these time honoed Dem
ocratic principles have nothing in COM
mon with the modern Populistic advo-
Gates of free silver, and that the great

jefferson down to Tilden, were one and

A New Kind of Tu1rip.

When the idea that cheaper measure
Of values will make the country richer
once gels hull CT man, it is pretty
hard to drive it cut CT his mild. It is
not SO much matter Ct knowledge or
belief as blind faith in what some one
has told him. Facts and logic are pow
erless against Gelusion, but sometimes
an illustration drawn from his own ex.
psrience is effective.
Suppose that all the farmers who
think that free coinage would benefit
them should learn this spring Of q new
turnip seed which was guaranteed to
produce roots just twice the size CT those
now grown, but which would re Of such
an inferior quality that it would be
only half as valuable for feeding stock.
The new variety would require more
ground for growing, more fertilizers,
more labor for cultivating and pulling
and larger cellars for storing. But as
the food value Of the roots would be
Just the same as q crop CT the kind now
raised, where would be the advantage
of the bigger quantity? Would not the
farmer who tried the new kind be poor
CT to the extent Of the extra land and
labor used in their production? His cat
tie would find that they had to eat two
bushels i'll order to get the same nour-
ishment that they got from one bushel
CT the old kind. He could not exchange
bushel Ct them for more than half Of
the things that the same quantity OF
the better quality would buy. And he
would without doubt swear that he
would never again waste time and labor
on roots which were one-half worthless.
Money is money. Turnips are turnips.
Doubling the quantity Of money by cut
ting its value in two would be as fool
ish as growing a kind Of turnips with
twice as much water in them.

An Unjust Judge.

Populist Judge Mckay Of Harper
county, Kan, shows himself true be-
lever in his party S principles Of repudi-
alton and debt evasion by his advice to
the people Of his state. He is reported
as saying in a published statement:
"Thc way to get rid CT these boom bonds
is to quit paying taxes. If lands IRE not
sold, the titles will remain es they are
now. Then, when the debts against the
counties and municipalities are outlaw.
cd, we can begin paying taxes again.
This is straiShtout declaration for
anarchy aud contiscaticn. If the teach
ings Of this unjust representative Of law
and order were generally adopted, civil
LIKED society would be impossible and
men would return TO lawlcssness. With
out taxes governments could not exist,
and unless men we're willing to pay
their just debts trade and industry would
come to standstill.
Yet Judge McKay's doctrine of whole

suit Of Populist cheap money doctrines.

basis? If the government can justly pass
q free coinage law which would wipe
out one-half Of I'll the debts now owing,
why would it not be as fair to wipe out
two-thirds three quarters or the whole
amount? And if creditors may be robbed
of their honestly acquired property, why
should not the farmers lands or the
wcrkingmen' cottages be taken for the
benefit Of tho landless and homeless?
The only safe principle On which to

ity Ct property rights. To what conclu

snortsmen,a Notebooks.

Nearly every sportsman keeps note
book. in which are recorded dates, places
and kinds, sizes, conditions and so on
of the gamc or fish he does or does not
take. Such man, when he tells story,
big, little Or odd, can clinch it by refer
ring to his book. Every naturalist finds
it imperative to note every detail of his
observations, and at the end Of ten years
or a year he finds satisfaction in look
ing over his notes which is worth the
trouble ten lines over. There are men
who have notes dating back over so
years which would be mine Of wealth
for writers tn natural history. One man
carried scales in the woods with him for
years and weighed piece by piece the
moose and other big game that he kill
ed, noting it down carefully, so that
now, after long hunting life, he can
give the average weight of any wild
animals with which he is familiar.-

over his body was loaded with

dead upon the yet uncovered cof
fin just lowered to the bottom Of
the grave. 1t was left there. Otto
had been soldier in the civil war.
He enlisted early and fought to

the biggest and bloodiest battles

"The free silver Bourbons." says the
New York World, want to restore the
conditions prior to 1873.' Let them be-
gin by increasing the price of silver
from GS cents an ounce to $1.30. Then
perhaps they will bury out Of sight the
400, 900. 900 and mere Of silver dollars
coined since 1878. The next step would
be to seal up the fveot silver mines TINT
have more than doubled our current

this is done free coinage could do
no harm. But the conditions must be

GIVING HIS WHOLE CASE AWAY.
Mr.. Crisp Admits That Gold II tho Stand.
ard Of Value.

In his Atlanta debate with Secretary
Smith ex-Speaker Crisp attempted to
answer the objection the sound
money advocates aSairsi the 80 cent
dollar by saying: II Iii you, my
friends, that do not want tho free and
unlimited coinage Of silver unless the
bullion i'll silver dollar is worth as
much as the bullion in q gold dollar.
All this rot about cheap money is sub
terfuge Of those who aro interested in
maintaining the dearest kind of money. {"
MI. Crisp has for years been clam
oring for free silver on the ground that
gold has increased i'll value, and is too
scarce and dear to servo as money, and
has urged the necessity Of having
cheaper money for the people" as
against dcar money fer the bankers.
Yet he now says that he only wants free
coinage under the condition that the
bullion in silver dollar shall be worth
dollar il gold. This is exactly what
Thomas Jefferson favored when he adj
vised that tho ratio between gold and
silver be fixed as nearly as possible ut
tho commercial value of the two metals.
1t is what tho believers in an honest
dollar liavo always insisted on. A free
coinage law which should put hun
dred cents worth Of silver in each dol
lar would not injuriously affect our pres,
ent sound financial system.
Eut what becomes OF Mr.. Crisp s
promise that under FREQ silver the pco-
plo would have cheap money? If a gold
dollar is too dear to be used to measure
values, how would silver dollar which
is worth just as much be my cheaper?
The commercial valuo CT silver is now
about 80 to |. If MI Crisp is honest in
saying that he wants the bullion in a
silver dollar to be worth as much as tho
bullion in gold dollar, he would have
to coin tho two metals in 30 to ratio
How would that shatter tho hated
money power?
Mr.. Crisp warned his Atlanta hearers
against the people who are interested in
maintaining the dearest kind Ct money
When he talks Of coming silver dollars
with bullion value equal to a gold
dollar, does he net admit that gold i,
the standard ard that he wants to
have Our silver money just as valuable
al gold?

Prosperity Not Politics.

It is Of tho highest Importance to the
people Of Illinois that both state con-
ventions shall declare clearly and posi-
lively for sound money. The money
question Is not ono Of politics, but Of
prosperity.
Two years ago there was large
amount Of English and Scotch money
in this city for investment. It was
loaned at low rates and on favorable
terms. 1t lowered the interest rate in
the general money market 1t helped to
make money cheap as we'll rs abundant.
AS soon as it became apparent abroad
that the senate Of the United States was
dominated by men who believed in free
coinage Of silver, which means That
debts contracted ON basis Ct 100 cents
to the dollar shall DO paid at the rate Of
so cents to q dollar, this foreign capital,
which had been so fruitful for the
state, gradually withdrew.
Its Withdrawal contracted available
money to that extent and ut the same
time raised the interest rate, while it
frightened the money market even at the
higher rate. There is scarcely On in
dustry in Illinois that has not suffered
by this stringency. There is not nj in.
dustry in Illinois that will not be bcne-
flied by the return Of this foreign
money. The man who needs to borrow
to make payment OH his little home is
as much to be benefited by it as the
great merchant, the farmer Gs much as
the manufacturer.
Should either state convention declare
for unsound money or qualify its finan-
cial plank in any way SO es to seem to
lean to free silver coinage the entire
state will be the sufferer, and the class
upon whom tho injury will fall most
crrelly will be the WACO carriers For,
with money at high rate and hard to
get, it will be impossible to continue in
operation industrial plants that give
steadfast employment to hundreds Ct
thousands
Let both state conventions therefore
speak for honest money, and speak SO
that the language shall bo universally
understood.
The money question is question ct
prosperity, not Of politics. Chicago
