NEWSPAPERS bave lost in influence be
cause of lack of truthfulness. Nothing
can be gained that is of good from will
full deception. There is a great deal of
editorial statements going the rounds
this year which can be charged only to
mendaclty or Ignorance. One frequently
hears OF the gold bugs sending gold up
to two dollars during the war so that
they might profit by the rise. This de.
liberate and wIllful lie is given currency
to create prejudice at this time against
preserving the currency of the country
from debasement. Even If there were
truth in the statement what relation can
the situation in the Cos have 60 an effort
now to maintain conditions which If un-
disturbed will cause a revival of business?
Every one knows that the currency OF
the country during the war was not
worth Its face value IN silver or gold be-
cause no provision was made for Its re-
demptlon. Confederate currency was
worth still less for the reason 1t was fear
ed 1t would not be redeemed at all /.
Were the gold bugs" responsible for the
depreciation of confederate currency?
Were hey responsible for the low value
of the paper issued by the states during
the revolutionary war?
1t is not an easy matter to treat with
patience such abslrd propositions. Any
newspaper should have too much re-
spect for itself and sufficient regard for
its readers to deal in such stuff. That
cause ls a poor one that must be bolster
ed mp with lies.

ELLIS b. USHER the leader in this state
OF the independent democratic movement
relates little incident which occurred at
the private conference held at the Audi
forum in Chicago. An able st. Louis
lawyer was warmly advocating new
convention. Another lawyer from Cleve-
land was averse to this procedure on the
ground of want of authority and said
I'VE represent nobody. Whom does the
gentleman from st. Louis representa-"
Then came the thrilling response: The
gentleman asks me whom | repI esent,
will tell him. | represent ONE SOY
EREIGN VOTE that it is my duty and
alone depended all the momentous issues
cast his vote with such sense of respOn-
sibiitY deserves to be an american cti-
zen"
Civil history does not record an utter
ance transcending this in patriotic ex-
preston or In recognizing responsibility
1t is this sense of obligation which every
parent should instil into his child and
thus invest him with purpose and
strength to do what is right. 1t may be
said the conception Is too lofty, but the
ltltulS given Cllllultil CuuLOU Ne wv LIZ
A sense of the duties of citizenship are
not sufficiently impressed upon the
young in the haste toinculcate lessons of
duty to party.
There is a wide difference between pol
icy and principle and to teach by practice
that they are identical is dangerous.
Throughout the United States there is
no measure for fixing what proper party
action Is, used to the extent that the opln-
ion of county officers is. 1t is leaning on
a reed If the duties of American citizen
ship are entitled to any consideration.
How much better as guide to proper
action Is that feeling of responsibility to
ones own convictions, which prompted
the eloquent outburst of the St. Louis
lawyer.
There is danger TO the individual as
well as danger to the country in cutting
loose from moral obligation in the dis
charge of pubic duties. When a man
shuts the door on his conscience he com
mits crime against himself as we'll as
puts himself In an attitude to commit an
otfense against the good of the public.
Party truth should be taught through
actions just as well as personal honesty.

published gives Iabe Bouck some terri

Bouck Is not due 10 the latter's free sill
yer ideas, but to his insulting manner

criticisms in pretty good spirit much
better than would be supposed by those
who know him best. A change in Bouck s
peculiarltles would be much for the bet
ter, but he is too old to change and it is
best TO bear with what we dislike in Elm
than to offend him by criticism which
does no good. Bouck Is really an able
man and kind hearted one.

1t is a maxim that it is an i'll vino
that blows nobody any good. 1t vii
be matter of wonder if republicans
in their frantic efforts to expose popu
listic fallacies do not rub some of the
scales off their own eyes. 1t is hard
ly possible that they can see half &
truth without at least catching 9
glimpse of its other half. And the
same may be said of the populists
John Sherman in his speech at C1l
umEus, O., Aug Is, among other
things said We cannot by law fix the
value of either metal or coin or of any
of the articles that enter into the wants
of life The great law of supply and
demand effects the value as it does
iron, copper or zinc"
That is plain and truthful state
ment of democratic principle. One
for which it has contended since its
first organization. He also said he
could not regard the populistic scheme
to fix by law the value of coin in any
other light but both as a fraud and a
robbery" Neither can any democrat.
Yet, in the face of all this, he has adj
Vocated, helped 10 enact and defend
laws specially designed to fix the value
OF not only metal and coin but of all
articles that enter into the wants of
life" 1t was the first business of the
present administration to repeal one
such robber law. Can he regard this
IN any other light bnt as fraud and
ROBBERY" No democrat can, neither
can any well informed and right
minded man. Has he even consider
ed to what extent he and his party are
responsible for the present populistic
purpose to rob and defraud? 1t has
been asserted ut must be remember
eel there Is no novelty in these schem-
es but they are the relics of semi bar,
barous or proligate governmental that
the schemes which have tended to de-
preclate the currency have almost al
ways had some appearance of special
and circumstantial justification such
as the necessity of compromising for
prior injustice committed in the con
trary direction. Has the republican
party ever committed prior injustice
IN a contrary direction, which gives to
the populistic scheme, some appear
ance OF special and circumstantiai JUS
tlfication? No man can answer that
question better than John Sherman
There is really but this one prlnci-
pie involved in the present campaign.
The other planks of the platform being
merely subsidiary accessories. The
attitude of the parties toward it is pre-
'lseIy this. The populists purpose to
over, by law, the value of the curren
~ thus raising the price of all com
nodltles. This is a fraud and a rob
'ery. The republicans purpose to
,alse by law the value OF all commo-
iltles. This is an absurdity, a fraud
inu robbery. Democrats stand firm
J and squarely upon it. This right.
he people can have their choice of a
policy OF fraud and robbery or a policy
i right. Can it be doubted which
hey VIII choose? G. W. Morse.

Mckinney still limits himself to ex-
tolling the virtues of high protective
tariff policy when the people of the
land are engrossed with the money
question, They have heard all the
arguments on protection over and
over and it would seem that by this
time he would realize that the public
desire light on monetary affairs. But
evidently he has posed so long as the
advance agent of prosperity under the
tariff banner that he can strike no
other attitude.

CLEVELAND is the only president the
United States has had since 1860. He
has worked faithfully to carry out every
pledge made by the democracy and has
stood like a stone wall against every
thing which he thought would prove
injurious to the public good. But the
Chicago convention refused to adopt a
resolution commencing him, and would
have adopted one censuring him had 1t
not been withdrawn. This fact of itself
proves that the convention was subject
to Influences which are not democratic.

MAJOR Mckinley is as crazy as a bed

law has the same effect upon him that a
state paper of Cleveland's has upon Alt.
geld. When he says the wing of the
democratic PARTY which had control at
Chicago Is as much in favor of free trade
as the wing IN control of tie national adj
mlnlstratlon, he saws something which
the facts do not justify. The CHICAGO
platform IN terms states that for the pres.

does not even state that the policy of the
democratic party on the tariff is tariff
Tor revenue only. That very important
qualification made by the word ogIy is
omitted. Everyone, protectionist as we'll
as free trader, ha the latter word is now
used believes IN tariff for revenues
