what that was for. He said ooh,
just to help the HERALD along.n
He told Ryan emphatically t hat if
the money was rendered in the
sense of payment for political SER
vices, we must pass it back. Ryan
threw up his hands in horror and
disclaimed any such intention.
That is how Ryan bought Taylor"
and if the self-confessed political
corruptionist can make any capital
out of it, he is welcome to all the
aid and comfort it brings him.
Ryan wants people to draw the
conclusion that because we sup
ported him and opposed others of
the Ring that his tale of bribery
must be true. On the same reason
ing then we suppose he insinuates
that he purchased his splendied
majority in this precinct. The fact
is there was no fight here on Ryan
as there was on other Ring candi-
dates from any one. He received
magnificent vote and when he
charges that it was purchased, he
insults those that cast their ballots
for him and shows an ingratitude
that should cause a man of any of
the sensibilities of gentlemen to
hide his face in shame the rest of
his days.
This idiot or knave, or a cross
between the two, is not only self
confessed political corruptionist,
but there is evidence to prove that
he is deliberate liar as well. He
states above that he did not state at
Bonner's Ferry on the 10Th of July
that he was "for Mcconnell first
last and all the time" He also states
that he did not say he could "buy
the Ceur d Alene Press" Read

We could get dozen more to

sworn statements of these two we'll

brands William Ryan man whose
word is unworthy of consideration
at any time or place, or under any
circumstances. We say this more
in pity than in anger. And if he
has lied in these instances, what
weight is to be attached to any of
his utterances.
His statements as to the assessor
ship are replied to elsewhere.
This matter has already consum-
ed more space than appropriately
belongs to it. We dismiss the
subject with this suggestion:

Those who have read our article

Do you beIieve in stable measure OF
and creditor? The 16 to scheme would
put this country OH q fuctuating silver
basis.
Have you money inthe bank or loaned
out to any one? Free silver would cut
the value of your savings in two.
Are you prepared to abandon the
monetary standard which is used by all
tho great commercial nations of the
world and adopt that of India, China
and other cheap labor countries? If not,
you should protest against free silver.
Do you believe that common honesty
demands that debts contracted in 100
cent dollars should be paid in money
worth as much as that which was bor-
rowed? Free coinage means the repudia
ton of one-half of all obligations.
Do you know of any way i'll which
men who are now poor can get rich hon.
estly, except by hard work? If not, you
should condemn the quacks who are
promising the people to make them all
rich by legislation which will debase
the currency.
Would you like to SEQ capital album
dant and interest low? Money is far
more plentiful and interest rates are
lower in gold standard nations than in
the silver using countries.
Do you consider it important to the
interests of trade and industry that there
should be no uncertainty in regard to
the basis of the country s finances? Then
you must oppose the senseless agitation
which is checking the investment of
capital and depressing business.
Would you like to.see the purchasing
power Of the workingman's wages cut
down one-half by q currency law which
should declare that 80 cents worth Of
silver was "dollar?" Under free coin

Are you willing to bring ON finan-

1t is not a question Of whether the
manufacturer is employed today so
much as it is whether no has orders in
hand to carry his looms through the
next few months. The processes Of
manufacturing require about four
weeks time, and the manufacturer who

production on spring goods is not in a
very encouraging position, and a good
many are not circumstanced any better
than this. One need only look at the
figures Of importations of goods to de-
termine the manufacturing situation. It
does not require deep and penetrating
perceptive powers to see In these figures
an unsatisfactory condition for the do
nestle manufacturer. If the foreign
manufacturer is supplying large pOr-
ton of the needs of tho market, he must
be doing it at the expense of domestic
makers, and this condition will be man
ifest in short time. The man who can
not see it today must be dull Of percep-

Honest Farmer Jsnsen's Views.

There are many reasons for thinking,
that free silver is losing ground in Kan
sas, Nebraska and other parts of the
west, where it has been strongest and
where the people have devoted most
time and thought to this question.
Earnest study has convinced many farm
ers that the "crime of 1878" is o myth ;
that it does not pay to be dishonest ;
that gold is better than silver; that BIZ
metallism is impossible, and that there
is nothing but wind back of the delusive
promises of silverites. One of those prac-
teal everyday farmers, who both thinks
and talks for himself is Peter Jansen
of Nebraska. He is not the only one in
his state, for he went to the st. Louis
convention as u delegate at large. He
was put Oh the committee on resolu-
tions, and here is what he said when he
announced his vote:
God hates towards, and every hon.
est man does the same, and, therefore,
on behalf of the Republicans of the
great state of Nebraska, shall vote for
the resolution which declares for the
gold standard and says just what it
means. The time is pastifor the Repub-
lican party to straddle this question.
We must meet the issue fairly and
squarely like men. 1 don't see why we
should be afraid to take tho metal which
has been the only measure of value
since these United States begun to coin
money, while even the country from
which am an exile, half civilized Rus
STA, is preparing to get on to a gold
basis, and it would not at all become the
most enlightened nation ON the globe to
take step backward and join Mexico,
Japan and China. Gentlemen, we shall
not gain single electoral vote by re-
framing to declare for gold, standard,
but we will lose the respect and credit
of the whole world, whose eyes are upon
this convention, by avoiding to say just
what we mean. The people Of Nebraska
are anxious and willing to pay their
debts, but they are not ready to liqui-
date them with u so cent dollar. l
