Ii there are any Democrats in
Christian county who have been mis-
led by the vicious goldbug literature
SO energetically circulated during the
last ten days, we commend to them
the two great speeches we publish to-
day. The address by Gov Altgeld,
printed at his own expense and sent
to Kentucky as an answer to Secreta-
ry Carlisle's recent speech in defense
OF the administration, is an exhaust
i've treatise on the question and should
be filed away for the historical infor.
nation it contains. Gov. Altgeld
shows that the ablest men of the past
as well as the great leaders of the
present have been advocates of BIZ
metallism, and that the Democratic
party has always been committed to
That policy. He exposes the false claim
that the per capita in this &C untry is SIG,
and proves by official reports that it is
put little more than half that amount.
The speech is long, but it will well
repay careful perusal by those in
search OF the truth. The other speech.
delivered by Mr.. W. II. Harvey, the
best posted man in the country on
monetary statistics, is plain, bust
ness like discussion of the currency
question as it affects the individual.
1t is truthful, convincing and enter
tanning and completely answers the
tallacies of such attorneys for the de.
fense.e as Aldredge, Patterson and
others who have suddenly changed
their own convictions and are irving
to induce Democrats to forsake their
principles Of life time. Read both
OF these speeches and show them to
your neighbors and then make up
your minds to attend the convention

right. SILVER MUST BE RESTORED.
