Egypt, Siberia, Turkey, Iceland,
Venzuela and Brazil are under the
gold standard. No one advocating
bimetallism would seriously argue
that the gold standard for our coun-
try would reduce US to their level in
the scale of states, commerce or civil
ization, yet it is just as logical as that
bimetallisn will reduce our country
to the level of China or Mexico in
civilization. The color of the metal
in their money does not account for
the starvation in Egypt or Siberia,
nor for the cruel butchery of the Ar
menians in Turkey. Newspapers and
public speakers will do their cause
just as much good by few grains of
honesty and common sense in the
scramble for votes.

The DEBORAH Republican publishes

The DEBORAH Republican publishes
the following as an argument in ia
vor of the gold standards:
"Over at Calmar a railroad man il
lustrated the money problem in this
way: You see here! This is a ten
dollar gold piece. Have you a silver
dollar? All right You risk your dol
lar, and I'll risk my ten-dollar piece.
We will put them right here on this
rail and let that freight train run
over them. After they are passed
We'll pick up our money. I'll pick
up little lump of gold that | can
sell for ten dollars to any goldsmith.
What will you have? I'll tell you. A
lump of silver that will sell now for
just tiftY-one cents"
The reason of the difference is that
the United States has policy of in
surance against accidents and fires
upon every ounce of gold that may
come to its mints, no matter what it's
form or condition OF whence it comes.
The so-ealled railroad man who has
gold in his pocket is probably one of
the fellows with q $4,000 salary,
which means about 20 dollars per
day; if salary of $1,000 it means So
SO per day, and there are no lost days
to these men, every day 10 the year
counts. But to the section men the
price of days work is different; 80
cents day generally, S1S work. ng
days in the year. If he works every
day at the end of the year he will
have earned the princely sum of
$191.70. This is paid to him through
tie year in driblets of silver; he gets
no gold payments. If by frugality
and privation he has saved a portion
OF it to apply IN payment of the
cabin he calls a home, which is con
sumed by fire and his little saving is
melted into mass. he should have
the same access to the mints for re
coinage as the man with big salary
who is perhaps paid in gold. This
would make his silver dollar melted
down, worth dollar, the freedom o.
the mint being policy of insurance
; against such accidents. The illus.
tration of the Republican, instead of
argument against free coinage, is one
/ in it's favor unless it is the opinion of
, that paper that the poor devil who i
a section hand, paid IN silver, should
lose one-half his labor as the result o
3 an accident. The PLAIN DEALER be
: lieyes that the poor man who is pait
for his labor in silver, has the sam
, right to be protected by law, as TIL
man with big salary, seldom earned
who is paid in gold or it's equivalent

Taxes Who Pays Them.

One would naturally suppose the
bankers of the country, from their
efforts to dictate the financial policy
that shall prevail, were about the
only taxpayers of the country. In
Minnesota the report of the auditor
of state shows that the assessed valu-
alton of the yearling steers is more
than the assessment of all the banks.
Indeed the report shows that the
dog tax of the state exceeds the bank
tax. In Iowa nearly all the gold
standard papers are telling of the
wonderful prosperity of the farmers,
and of the monies they have on de-
post in its banks, showing fabulous
wealth. These statements led US to
look up the returns of the banks and
their assessment in the state as re-
turned under oath to the state audi
tor. The monies and credits of the
banks in the Iowa report is not re-
turned by itself as in the Minnesota
report but includes these vast sums
deposited by the farmers as we'll as
monies owned by the banks.
For the year 1894 on page 90 Of the
auditors report, all these monies OF
the banks and of depositors is re-
turned at $26, 334,670. On the same
page the returns of live stock asses
sed to the farmers is shown to be $46-
9S2,241 and the total assessed value OF
their personal property is reported al
$1O6, 1854. For 1895 page 95 of She
auditors report the assessed valuation
of the monies and credits of the banks
and all their depositors Is given al
$26, 426,37 a gain of $111,705. The
live stock assessment of the farmers
shown on the same page of the re
port is $38,21S, al a loss of $S,764, 100
The gain in monies and credits re
duces the loss in the state on person
al property to 500, 4S7, 479 making
the total loss in. the state on persona
property for the year $6,37S, 475

lion dollars to the farmers of low,
there should have been gain of a
least $25, 100000, loss that may b.
attributed solely to the attempt tt
maintain gold standard upon Dor
rowed gold for people which owe
more than fifty times the gold it pos
sesses.
l If the business of this country is t
be done upon gold basis there art
but two ways to reach that result
One is to still further depress GU
productive industries by reducing
prices, SO that gold will flow in thi
direction in exchange for fabrics al,
products; the other is to procure gol,
by the sale of bonds. The only mean
by which this can be averted is ii
the use of silver as one of our none
metals precisely as it was prior t
1878.

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years
doctors pronounced it q local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by f. j. Cheney u Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitution
al cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

THIS SHUTS OUT COIN"
Milwaukee Railroad suspends Silver
Literature.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Aug. 14.-Much
indignation is expressed here over au
order issued by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railroad to the effect
that free silver literature of any char
acter whatever shall not be distribut-
ed on the trains or at stations by any
body connected with the train service
The order is interpreted to mean
that news agents shall not sell silver
publications.
II this statement is correct it is in
the interest of Bryan and free silver,
though not SO intended. The farm
ers of the country have only to be
convinced of the position Of Wall
street and the railroads upon any
question to be nearly solid against
them.

The Des Moines Free Silver Repub-
lican club is being organized by
Thomas Knott, president of the Iowa
Printing company, assisted by j. W..
Cliff, @. s. Wilson, Judge Vim.
Conner and a number of other promi-
nent silver republicans. Only repub-
licans will be allowed to join. A con-
stitution and bylaws are being prin-
ted and the lists which are being
circulated have already secured a
large number of names. Mr.. Knott
says that he has assurances from 500
republicans that they will join the
club.
1t was the original intention to
keep the organization secret as long
as possible and then spring the club
with its big membership on the pub
lie as a surprise. But the work of the
organizers became public and this
will probably be abandoned. The
club will have a meeting to organize
in short time. 1t is proposed tc
form it into marching club, proper.
ly uniformed, and make it feature
of the campaign.-Des Moines News

The only sensible item we have seen
in the Postal Gard for several months
is as follows:
"The editor of this paper is not u.s.
ing his pencil very much on political
matters, but our scissors are very
handy in clipping what prominent
papers and people are saying con-
corning the money question"
Now if it will ignore clipping what
prominent people and persons are
saying and send out only it's patent
side, the rest unsoiled with ink, while
it solves its riddle: "What is the treas
