Seventy per cent of the delegates
now elected to the democratic state
convention are for Horace Boies for
delegate to Chicago and for presi-
dent and for free coinage at the ratio
of 16 to 1.
There is every reason to believe that
this advantage of the free silver de-
mocrats will be maintained. They
have no leader to match Mr.. Boies.
He will go to Chicago with free
coinage del egation.
This will insure for the free coinage
element of the democratic national
convention q leader of great prestige,
fine personal appearance and address
and strong oratorical powers.
1t will not be strange if the pres
ence OF such man will turn the tide
OF that great and stormy convention
for it will be one of the most temp
estuous ever held-and result in the
abrogation of the undemocratic two
thirds rule originally adopted in the
interest of slavery, and if Horace
Boies will come home with the presi-
Dental nomination in his pocket, as
Garfield went back to Ohio sixteen
years ago.

Labor cleared away the forests.

Labor built all the shops, the docks

Labor created all the wealth that

Usury never built railroad, open

Usury never produced or aided in

ut is not we'll for boys to venture out
too early in life" observed young
lady to Louisville Post scribe the
other day. Several evenings ago two
young men, who will not be,out of their
teens for q couple of years, called ON
q friend of mine. The young lady, who
is herself quite young, exhausted every
subject at her command in her effort
to entertain the youngsters, for the
duty of talking devolved upon her al
most entirely. Finally the boys,
whether from the fact that they had
been out the evening before, or the
lateness of the hour, for it was then
nearly ten o'clock, fell asleep. No one
enjoyed the fun more than the young
lady, and to make the joke complete
she quietly went upstairs and left her
youthful callers in the arms of Nor
pheus. They slumbered soundly until
morning, and We're not aroused until

ogies they left, and up to the present

How Vast Fortunes are Made.

The existence of ever increasing,
vast and incomprehensible fortunes
in the hands of q few is a constant
menace to the welfare of the people
in q republican form of government.
Vast sums of wealth would never
have centralized In the ownership of
single individual if true principles
of government had been observed.
The main avenue to the accumulation
of millions is interest on money. By
diverting interest on money from
corporations and individuals to the
government long stride will have
been taken toward stopping the
rapid amassing of all wealth in the
hands of small number of persons.
Government banks of deposit and
loan will be great saving to the
people, but the saving is not all the
good they would do. They would
stop the growth of the money power
and in time would extinguish it. Had
there not been a few Unfortunately rich
the special session of congress would
not have been called in 1893 to repeal
the silver purchase law; the excep-
lions would not have been placed on
the greenbacks in 1868; the recent
traitorous issue of 1862 millions of
bonds would not have been made;
silver decentralization in 1873 would
not have been enacted. There are
probably fifty men in the United
States each one of whom Can afford
to keep large lobby at Washington
to influence legislation on the money
question. So, while government
loans would save the borrower much,
and would rebound to the advantage
of the non borrowers, by reason of
their sharing in the interest received,
it is not clear but what u greater adj
vantage to be realized from govern
ment being the receiver of interest
would be the tendency it would have
to stop the growth of large fortunes.
The wealth of county of 30, 900 in
habitants, with its trading city of
seven to ten thousand people, its en-
terprising merchants, it's shrewd
bankers, its skilled mechanics, its
skillful farmers, ETC., ETC., all that
they have accumulated in their lives
all the merchants wealth, all the
bankers wealth, the farmers land, al
all the houses in the city-what vast
amount of wealth in an average west
ern county! And yet the late VIM. H.
Vanderbilt had an income every year
equal to all of the wealth of the
county. Let Interest be made the
distributor instead of the concentra-
tor ofIwealth. Interest to the govern
ment is virtually distributed among
all the people for it takes the place
of taxes.-Missouri World.

r. Wilson Smith, mayor of Montreal.
has issued a card to the public in which
he says that he is in almost daily re-

How They are Voting.

Des Moines, Dickinson. Grundy,
Guthrie, Hamilton, Hancock, Hardin,
Humboldt, Montgomery. O'Brien,
Shelby, Sioux, Sac, Tama, Union,
Wapello, Winnebago, Woodbury.,

for free silver and 60 against. The
same counties in 1895 gave 1O5 for
silver and 139 against.
In 1895, 81 majority against silver.
In 1896, 81 majority for silver.
Last year the twenty-three
counties had 90 per cent of the entire
voting strength at Marshalltown.
In 1896 they will have 81 per cent of
the voting strength at Dubuque.

The United States Census

Reveals the fact that increase of
wealth in the United States was but
twenty-five billion dollars during the
ten years from 1880 to 1890. 1t also
reueals the astounding revelation
that the interest charges upon the
various classes of bonds, Irrational,
state and municipal during the same
period was thirty billion dollars.
Thus every ten years the assets of the
entire wealth producers, of all the
manufacturing and productive in
dustries of the people is eight billion
dollars less than the interest charges
they are called upon to pay during
the same ten years. Add to this the
vast amount of interest which must
be provided for the individual debts
of the people and for the expenses of
their several governments national
state, and local and the deficit each
ten years will swell to the astonish-
ing sum of sixteen billion dollars.
To this source may be attributed the
unwelcome truth that $1,000 of the
people of this country possess as
much of its property of all kinds as
the remaining 67,0OO,O0O. And the
only remedy or relief that Mr.. Cieve-
land or John Sherman as representa-
tive of their respective factions of
their parties offer as solution, is the
unlimited imitation of the interest
bearing bonds or paper in order to
facilitate the compound-interest-bear-
ing device of the national banking
system. Thus, instead of utilizing by
coinage of the precious metals to the
full capacity of the minis, thereby in
creasing the ability of the people
through remerative employment to
consume the products of the country;
and to increase its produ ctive capac-
ity, they approve the exclusion OF
one of the money metals from mint
ing privileges and impose constant
ly increasing debt and increasing in
terest burden to procure the coin
suited to the business of the country
on gold basis.

New York brokers sent $l,5OO,OOO
of gold to Europe Saturday last, and
they are to send So, 100000 more to-
day. 1t is said that if free coinage of
both metals is restored gold will go.
We haven't free coinage now. Why
doesn't gold stay? Under the single
yellow standard we can keep gold
only by selling our products to Eu-
rope at lower price than any other
country will sell similar products
for. In other words, we can retain
the metal only by continuing and in
tenslfying the depression of industry

Is IT A TR1FLE!
That Common Trouble. Acid Dyspep-
STA or Sour Stomach.

NOW dec0gn1ZeQ as cause OF 6erlous O1S-
ease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is a form
of indigestion resulting from ferment-
alton of the food. The stomach be-
ing too weak to promptly digest it,
the food remains until fermentation
begins, filling the stomach with gas
and a bitter, sour, burning taste in
the mouth is often present. This
condition soon becomes chronic and
being an every day occurrence is
given but little attention. Because
dyspepsia is not Immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the
trouble.
Within recent period a remedy
has been discovered prepared solely
to cure dyspepsia and stomach
troubles. 1t is known as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and is now becom-
ing rapidly used and prescribed as a
radical cure for every form of dys-
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
been placed before the public and
are sold by druggists everywhere at
SO cents per package. 1t is prepared
by the Stuart Chemical Co., Marshall,
Mich, and while it promptly and eff
fectually restores vigorous di.
gestion, at the same time is perfectly
harmless and will not injure the most
delicate stomach, but on the contrary
by giving perfect digestion strength

lite aud makes life worth living.

discovery comes from the Mojave desert

The find was made by three ::tender-

knew absolutely nothing about mining.
They had made failure of ranching
there, and decided to go prospecting on
the desert. They started nine weeks
ago, and for seven weeks worked on the
desert without realizing anything. On
the eighth day, however, they came
upon gold in paying quantities and have
since made additional discoveries. The
story of the young men is believed.
