sTALE ANp THREADRARE.

To maintain parity" between gold
and silver has become a stale, thread
bare and Improbable bit Of political
lying wherew!th to feed the credulous.
How can the parity of the metals be
maintained so long as the government
requires nothing to DO payable to it in
gold and will pay nothing to its credit
ors but gold? The people are tired of
the misleading efforts to hold out
gold as the nations money of redemp-
ton. The fact is, by the ruling of the
treasury department. it has no way to
get gold except by buying it with bonds.
What matters it how high taxes and
revenue duties are if the government
will not pay its debts with the silver
and paper money it thus receives? And
what does it profit the people to have
their government borrow gold to pay
it back with interest added?
Is 10 be sure, if a creditor prefers silver
or paper money, the treasury viii give
him the kind he asks for, but it must
then rush off and buy gold to redeem
the silver Or paper he took, for Sscfe-
ttary Carlisle says it is not money in
itself merely promises to pay money,
which is made of gold and gold only.
Hence he must be prepared to redeem
it when presented, which necessitates
the purchase Of the required amount Of
gold That is Secretary CarIisIe's way
Of maintaining "parity" between gold
and silver.
Now the people have an idea that the
parity Of the metals can be maintained
only by making them interchangeable
by the government reserVing the right
to make its obligations payable in eth.
sr gold or silver, at its own option. The
treasury reports that it has nearly
s5O0,00O.OO0 on hand, but itself disered-
its the standing of every dollar Of it,
except a little over s1OO0O0,0OO in gold
which it bought with bonds to give the
silver aud paper it holds parity

CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTIONS.

The peoples party of the Sixth congressional
district in convention assembled renew our de-
Yotion to the fundamental principals Of the
Omaha platform.
Money being prime necessity of exchange he
who contracts its value entails more ruin than
all wars, petiience and fsmines in the history Of
the world, We therefore believe with Thomas
Jefferson that the power to issue and control
the value of money should be taken from the
banks and restored to the people to whom it
belongs and demand the abolition of the ma
tional banking system and bssing the currency
on all the wealth of the nation.
As a free and sovereign people We demand the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver and gold at
the ratio of sixteen to one, and that all money
be made full legal tender for all debts, both
public and private. We oppose the issue Of
bonds except by express authority Of congress
and We condemn the extravaganza Of the ma
tional administration,
We have no use for any system Of taxation
which tends to build up large fortunes for one
class at the expense of others.
Ia William Baker, congressman of the Sixth
district, we have found and honest advocate Of
these principles I'VE commend him for his manly
stand against the steal of nearly half million
dollars for extra clerk hire for congressman,
We are in favor of submitting all important
questions to the direct vote Of the people. To
the support of these principles to which We
pledge the nominee OF this convention we invite
the cooperation Of all Hberty-lOVing people to
assist Us in 0yeFthrOWing the present system OF
corporate power and establish a government for
and by the people

BBYkN oUR CANnYDAfg.

The peoples party national conyen-
tion at st. Louis last week nominated
Willism Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska,
for president; and Thomas Z. Watson,
Of Georgia, for vice president
In indorsing, or ncniaating, Bryan,
also the democratic nominee, the peO-
pies party has proven itself capable Of
rising superior to partisanship and pre-
judge, and, lying aside its own ambi-
tions, is now fighting for a just cause
under the sllyery banner of the @New
Democracy
To be sure, matters we're somewhat
complicated iuasmuch that for the vice
presidency the democratic nominee was
rejected and populist nominated.
An arrangement must be made where
by the silver vote shall be unified, and
concessions on both sides will certainly
be adopted for the good Of the cause.
Prejudice shall not stand in the way
of financial emancipation, and men are
not Of such consequence that their am
billions shall thwsrt righteous cause.
The people are fighting for a principle
in this campaign and will use the wea-
pOns that promises best TO obtain the
end striven for, and he who stands in
the way must Voluntarily retire or be
crushed beneath the feet of the mighty
hosts of silver.
Should the people decide in favor of
Mr.. Watson, Mr.. Sewell must retire; If
in favor of Mr.. seweH, Mr.. Watson can
be expected to withdraw. Arrange
ments may be made whereby both can
be kept in the field, but it must be with
the guarantee that Mr.. Bryan's chances
are in no way endangered. The people
will guard against that.
Already the opposition is on tbs de-
fensive, and on election day will be ut
terly routed and forever vanquished by
the solid phalanxes of pOpulists, demo-
Gratis and silver republicans, an army
with ballots, united, and determined to
wrest away from the gold oligarcby the
power it has used to dsspoil them.

The republican party is unreseryedly for sound
money. 1t caused the enactment of the Law pro
Tiding for the resumption Of specie payments in
1919; since then every dollar has been as good as
gold. We are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our currency or
impair the credit of our country, We are, there
fore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except
by international agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which We
pledge ourselves to promote, and until such an
agreement can be obtained the existing gold
standard must be preserved, All our silver and
paper currency must be maintained at a parity
with gold, and we favor all measures designed
to maintain inviolsbly the obligations Of the
United States and all our money, either coin OF
paper, at the present standaId-the standard Of
the most enlightened nations Of the earth.

cents worth Of silver into q dollar and
compel creditors to accept that in lieu
of an honest dollar. Than this there
never vas a greater sOphism and false
hood. What the people desire and
what they intend 70 do is to coin 100
cents worth Of silver, that is, dollars
worth, that is,3711{ grains Of silver, in
TO a dollar, and by that act break the
corner on gold and reduce the exagger-
sted purchasing power Of that metal to
It's normal standard.
aIf any man dare say that 81 a grains
Of pure silver are not a dollars worth,
let him be challenged With the ques-
ton whether that amount Of uncoined
silver will not purchase as much of
the average Of % Of the great staples
Of the American market, including
real estate and labor, as the same silver
Would purchase % years ago. Let him
answer that truly, or forever afterWard
hold his peace. As a matter of fact
the uncoined silver in the American the
will buy more of the average OF our
great staples than the same would buy
in 1875.
aWhat then? The limited supply of
gold in the world has been cornered by
those who own it. They are very few
very few-and the people are mil
lions. The price OF. the cOrnersd gold
has advanced more and more, until it
has become worth almost two for one.
All the while coined gold has concealed
the falIacy that is in it. The gold
eagle still proclsims itself $40, although
it has advanced in purchasing power
until it is nearly so. Under this OBJ
seure and fraudulent process all pro-
ductive industries have been crushed
to the earth. They who labor in the
fields and shops have been virtually
ruined.
1.-THE claim that gold coin is the
sound money! the honest money of
the world, and that silver money-real,
primary silver money, on our old stat
utory ratio-is dishonest and unsound
money is the most false, as it is the
most adroit, proposition ever put forth
by interested parties to defraud the
people of a great nation"

said that banks were holding money in

Denlads Cold esd Silver ia 1899.

The American people, from tradition and in,
terest, favor bimetallism, and the republican
party demands the use Of both gold and silver
as standard money with such restrictions and
under such provisions to be determined by legis-
latiOn as will secure the maintenance Of the
two metals, Sc that the purchasing and debt
paying value of the dollar, whether Of silver,
gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. The
interests of the producers Of this country, its
farmers and its worlingmen, demand that every
dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government
shall be as good as any other. We commend the
wise and patriotic steps already taken by our
government to secure an International confer
ence to adopt such measures as viii insure a
parity of value between gold and silver for use
as money.

A Number of circumstances Connecting

There is, perhaps, no superstition SO
general throughout the civilized world
as those regarding the figure ID being
an unlucky number. How it original
ed, perhaps, will never be known, but
it is generally attributed to the pres
encs of the Twelve Apostles and Christ
at the last supper. There is also a
worldwide approximation regarding
the figure seven being a lucky number,
and throughout all the railroads of
this country the engineers invariably
select the seven ia preference to any
other engine. IL is said that many Of
the railroads omit numbering an en-

engineer to take charge Of it.
