Jones of the democratic national com
mittee has received a certified copy Of
the paper containing the editorial in
full. Among other things it says:
"Senator Cameron points aplain moral
when lie remarks that If the United
States would venture to cut herself
adrift from Europe and take outright
to silver, she would have all America
and Asia to her back, and would com
mand the markets Of both continents.
The barrier of gold would be more fatal
than any barrier of custom house.
The bond of silver would be stronger
than any bond Of free trade There
can be no doubt about it, that if the
United States were to adopt silver
basis tomorrow, British trade would be
ruined before the year was out. Every
American industry would be protected
not only at home, but in every other
market. Of course, the States would
suffer 10 certain extent through hay
ing to pay her obligations abroad IL
gold; but the loss on exchange under
this head would be a mere drop in the
bucket compared with the profits to be
reaped from the markets OF South
America and Asia to say nothing Of
Europe. The marvel is that the United
States has not long ago seized the OPP
portunity, and but for the belief that
the way of England is necessarily the
way to commercial success and pros
perity, undoubtedly would have been
done long ago. Now, Americans are
awakening to the fact that so long as
they narrow their ambition to beCom-
ing a larger England they cannot beat
us. 1t has been piece of luck for us
that it has never before occurred to the
Americans to scoop US out of the worlds
markets by going on silver basis, and
it might serve us right if, irritated by
the COntemptuOus apathy of our govern
ment to the gravity of the silver prob
lem, the Americans retaliate by freez'
ing out gold. 1t could easily be done,
and we propose shortly to show, by
evidence collected from perfectly UNI
prejudiced sorces, that even now the
process has begun, and is proceeding
at a rate that will astOnish most peo-
pie, and probably make this country
regret that it did not at sn earlier stage
fashion its monetary policy on princi-
Piles of friendlinesS to other nations in
stead of on a basis Of short. sighted
sel6shness."

ITAPPEARs to he verified that the To-
peks Co-0peratOr has passed into the
hands of the Corning, Bennington
Rlghtmire gang. This explains why it
has turned its ba2Oo to a howl against
the electors nominated at Abilene; why
it is red angry for ticket of Watson
electors, This forcing up of the lower
register of the voice in these patriots is
evidently one of those formulary, me-
chanical efforts paid for by the line as
it is ground out. Cy Leland without
doubt had this troup in his pay during
all the campaign of 1894. They we're
long ago cast out of the councils Of the
party and treated as political pirates,
who had no common instincts with any
party except as it furnished lucre.
They cannot even be given so high a
consideration as an ordinary spokesman.
His reward is in the jobs and offices
parceed out by the winners. This
yelping cry of hounds appears to want
its returns more immediate and waits
not for any election results. If the
cabal now bowling foI Watson
electors should manage to pro-
duCe ticket under the name "populist"
it cannot expect to gain any votes un
less it is those of few illiterates or care
less voters who might on giancing over
the ticket fall upon that name and vote
the ticket by mistake. They will try
and do this and stir up a stencil Of rot
ten smells of which they themselves are
most prolific.

ish the bowls about a ffty-cent dollar
and parity.
Another place where he left himself
open was that he held up tax receipt
and said no man Gould fad any levy
for national revenue, that therevenues
were paid byimporters of foreign goods,
and the people paid none of them.
Shortly afterward he denounced Cleve-
lands issuing of 1862 500, 900 Of bonds,
every dollar Of which must be paid by
us or our posterity.
1t was a rainy day and but few peo-
Pile from the surrounding country
were present, probably somewhat to
the delight of local republicans who
were doubtless disappointed in their
Caesar. One noticeable fact was that
this friend of the people, came and de-
parted on a special train appointed
and furnished for his most excellent
comfort, At whose expense, we
would like tn know. W. J. Bryan in
al bis travels has not travelled in q
special except on one short trip where
he could not make speaking arrange
ments any other way.

BRYAN CLUBS.

A Bryan club was organized at Hia-
watha, Brown county, last week with
membership of liza members. This
is at the home town of Governor Nor
rill. 1t is an indication as to how the
silver craze is dying out.
A free silver club of over 600 names
was organized at Clay Center the mid
die of last week. If silver men are all
anarchists as the gold advocates
claim anarchism is not so very dan
gerous after all.
North Topeka has a Bryan Club OF
over $40 members and 1877 of them are
free silver republicans.
Fl. Scott has a Bryan club of oyel
l 100 members and many of them are
free silver republicans.

WELL the State election of Maine IS
past and republicans are growing a
very jubilant Cock-a-doOdle- doc. They
strut around as if they had the sun Of
Austerlitz shining on their devoted
heads and all the stars Of victory were
twinkling for them. The fact is the
silver forces got fully as much as they
expected. 1t was the home not only
of the gOldbug republican but the gold
bug democrat. When Sewall was nom
mated and the Chicago convention
went whizzing for free silver, demo-
cratic ticket was out in Maine on gold
standard platform. After the ,Onven-
ton, this ticket had to come down and
be replaced by one for free silver. The
forces were all disorganized in the
middle of the campaign in the strong
hold oil the enemies country. The re-
publicans threw themselves in the
campaign with all the energy they
could muster to get something to crow
over, and after all they have only in
creased the majority of two years age
by very few thousand.
1t has been conceded that all tht
New England States would go for Nc
Kinley by very large and increased
msjorities and no one is disappointed
If these figures came from some Stat
that is considered to be contested
ground, it might be discouragiag, bu
not as 1t is. On the other hand ever
election held in state that might b
considered favorable to silver, ha
shown a wonderful increase for tn
white metal ticket.

The Topeka Advocate.

This years campaign will be the most
important one since the war. 1t will be
particularly interesting to popnlists.
Every intelligent citizen should keep
posted on the situation. The Topeka
Advocate prints more general news than
any populist paper in Kansas. Il con-
tains something for every member OF
the family. 1t is clean, truthful and re-
liable. Its fight for the people this year
will be particularly strong. Its edito-
rial and general political matter will be
prepared under the direction of Senator
W. A. PETER. 1t will have series of
cartoons from the pen Of Myron A.
Waterman, the we'll known artist 1t
should be in the hands Of every pOpulist
1t should be in every home. IL costs

The gold men have repeatedly
charged that Governor AltGeld, while
advocating free silver, and claiming
that silver bullion would, with free
coinage rise to parity with gold. has
been renting all his property, of which
he posses considerable, with stipula-
ton in the contract for payment in gold.
This alleged fact has been cast at silver
advocates with the gusto peculiar to
men who wish TO have it understood
they have made a point 80 big and
plump that the question is settled alb
solutely and peradventure. Mr.. Alt
geld makes a statement that he owns
about dozen dwellings which he rents
and makes no such stipulatiOns what
ever. He is large share holder how
ever in corporation which owns the
Unity office building. The rooms in
this building are rented for gold, but
Mr.. Altgeld has nothing to do with the
renting. But If he did he would have
ample excuse for so doing for the rea-
son that the company has to pay $751;
900 per year ground rent in gold besides
$4,000 interest on bonds also payable
in gold. In order to meet these Obliga-
tions it is necessary to make their rents
payable in gold. In other words they
are in the clutches of the gold gang.
When this state of affairs exists with
such a scramble for gold it almost
amounts to gold being at u premium
now under the gold standard.

IT Is a rare good fortune in war to
be able to seize the enemy's guns and
train them upon the foe. In some
sense it is also true in politics. The
sayings and publications Of English
men are frequently the best ammunition
to be used in this battle Of the stand
ards. A short time ago an editorial
from the London Financial News was
extensively copied in the silver papers
Of the United States. 1t was alleged
that it appeared in that paper on April
80, 1894. The gold standard men chal-
lenged the authenticity Of the article
and declared it forgery, having pub
lished what purported to be an editorial
from the same paper denying that it
had ever appeared. But now Chairman

BURROWS MEETING

The speech delivered at the Auditor
ium last Thursday by the noble Sena-
tor Julius Caesar Burrows Of Michi-
gan, vas one Of the loosest ever put to
a Kansas audience. He must have
taken his hearers for a lot of heather
from one of Grover Clevelsnd's ''un-
desirable states" to think he would
not be called down on some of the
statements he made. For example, In
his argument to show that the stamp
of the government has no effect on a
metal except to designate and verify
the weight and flneness, he said that If
any one had 9Th grains of pure silver,
it would buy as much as a silver dollar
and it don't make any difference
whether it had the stamp of the gov
eminent or not. He is probably one
of the people who think if the facts
don't agree with his theory, so much
the worse for the facts. If this state
ment were true, it would forever abol'

SILVER is hard money for money
spectators to corner, as it's all in
small pieces and not fit to be coined in
large denominations. Hence it stops
with the masses and in their possession;
while gold is unfit for coinage in small
denominations, but only in larger,
from SIS to eos. The two together make
a better and more stable circulating
medium than either alone Com
moner.

SIMPSON AND SILVER.

LAKIN-County seat of Kearney
county-This is the only county in the
State where we have never had any
organization, but we are all right there
now. On Monday afternoon Mr..
Long spoke to a good audience, at
night, Jerry spoke to large crowd.
Here, there is q free silver club of
thirty-One republicans, they will not
allow any one but republicans to join
them, and every one is pledged to vote
Bryan, Simpson and silver.
GARDEN CITY-Well, tell you what,
the boys in Garden City are on to their
job-why the Free Silver Bryan Club
have the finest decorated and most
commOdiOus hall of any club in west
ern Kansas. There are 81 members,
81 of them being ex-republicans.
Jerry spoke to good crowd at the
opera house in the afternoon. He did
not haye as many present as Chester
had at his meeting, but more voters.
The meeting at the Silver Club in the
evening was a rousing success. We
will elect our county ticket in this
county.
CINIMARoN-The county seat Of Gray
county. Well now here IS a thinly
populated country-and not many pop
ulists either, but want to tell you that
the democratic boys in the county are
up TO snuff-they have made winning
combination with our fellows. Jerry
lost this county two years ago, but you
bet the BOYS are for Jerry this time!
DODGE CITY-Here we had the larg-
est meeting by odds Of any we have
had. A more enthusiastic, determined
lot of men never lived. NOtwitbstand-
ing the rainy day, they came from every
direction. At one O'Clock a procession
was formed Of cavalrymen, fOOtmen
carrying implements of industry, and
wagons with many banners and floats.
One wagon contained sixteen young
ladies all dressed in white and one
dressed in yellow holding aIoft 16 to l
banner.
The Rink was crowded and Jerry
spoke for nearly three hours, but at
night was the great time-over two
hundred men carrying torch lights, es-
corted Nj. Simpson and Judge Hoch-
kinson, of Garden City, a free silver
republican, to the rink, to again address
the people. Oh, but it was a great
day. Done the Long meeting Of the
day before up in great shape.
JETMoRE-There was nothing Of
any particular interest of the meeting
in Hodgeman county, only there were
many free silver republicans present,
and all agree that Mr.. Simpson will get
an increased vote there.
Ness CITY-This meeting was SINH.
lar to the one at Dodge CiUy-a large
parade with the young ladies, also six
teen white horses, ridden by eight
young ladies and eight young men.
There was also one yellow horse with
rider. Our people always carry this
county, and will haze larger majority
this fall. D. W. HENDEE.
