Wild Man of the Forest

ASTORIA, Or, Sept. 1.-THE resi-
dents of John Day precinct, in this
county, report that an insane man has
been seen in the woods there, running
about in an almost nude state. He is
described as being six feet tall, with
long black hair and whishers. He
will allow no one to approach him,
and, when surprised, seeks cover in
the brush. How he subsists is a mys-

the money devil. Why? Because the
indianapolis convention was under the
control of those who servo trusts, syn
dicates and mouopolies.
Gwen more important" says the
World, sis the financial plank. In
setting up the single gold standard
and having no word in favor of an in
ternational agreement or any other
means of increasing the use and en-
hancing the value OF silver, one of Our
country's richest products and consti-
tuting over one-half of it's store of
money, the convention simply gave
new point and edge to the free silver
arguments. 1t is bankers plank,
written by bankers attorneys, and
hence is both selfish and short
sighted" There you have it. The
World frankly admits the plank was
written by bankers attorneys. That
is why it is so undemocratic and yet a
few democrats are deeming it "prin-
cipie" to vote the ticket.
The World concludes its article as
follows: "Messrs. Flowers, Belmont,
Fairchild and their associates are ap-
parently too closely identified with
the Wall street view of finance to un-
derstand the depth and strength OF the
popular belief in bimetalism. In op-
posing the disastrous descent to a
cheap silver basis they lose sight CT
the possibility of reconciling the
country to the single gold basis
"The people of the United States
desire an honest and actual bimetal-
ism, gold and silver dollars of equal
intrinsic value. This is the tradition
of the country. This is the demo-
cratic principle and practice. In fail
ing to recognize it the Indianapolis
convention made a bad mistake"
This is exceedingly interesting, COM
ing from journal unfavorable to the
Chicago platform because 1t is undem-
ocratic and opposed to Mckinley be-
cause of his weathercock record on
money and his one advocacy of high
protection.
AS the election draws near and
nearer it becomes apparent that the
voter, believing the people should rule
and not the rich and opulent, will
cast his ballot for Bryan and thus
settle the doubt that exists concern
ing the capacity of the people to dis
cuss public questions to such an ex-
tent as to use their votes in their own
interests.
