WHY He LEAVES HIS PARTY.
An old-Time Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverftas.

An Old-Time Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites.
Mr.. Samuel Dickson, of PHILADELPHIA.
lifelong democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as presidential
elector ON the democratic ticket.
Among other reasons for his action he
gave the following:
1t is merely paftering with the truth
to pretend to acquiesce in the expert
ment OF trying to make the product Of
q days labor in silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
OF days labor in a gold or an iron
mine. AT the present time the results
OF days work in one occupation arr,
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other. To affix
an artificial value upon silver ore Is q
dishonest and unjust. discrimination
against every other form of industry,
and when It is done by calling it a legal
tender 1t Is done at the expense Of
every class in the community except
the money lenders and the money
changers.
With currencies Of different value In
circulation, the money lenders always
thrive at the expense of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner. It was favorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that high rate Of
interest meant bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk If there Is q chance that when ho
lends bar Of gold he may be forced
to take payment in q bar Of silver, just
as the owner of horse will hesitate to
lend It with a chance of being given in
return a sheep or a pig. That Is all
there is in bimetallism as a practical
question ms between the lender and the
borrower, and, so stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why, until 1t Is
stated, hundreds of millions of capital
IRE lying idle which would be at the
service of the south and west if they
were willing to give back what they

FT. SMITH, Aug. 28.-Congressman
Hugh A. Dinsmore, Fifth Arkansas
District, and United States Minister
to Corea, was mobbed at political
speaking at Englantine, Van Buren,
county, Wednesday, and sustained
injuries which will contne him to his
bed for some time to come. The Con-
gresham was roughly handled, and
put for the interference of friends he
would have probably suffered worse
injury. Dinsmore was recently nomi .
mated for third term in Congress, and
has been stumping his district. He
spoke at Englantlne Wednesday and
divided time with Jerry scanlan,
local Popnllst candidate Van Buren,
Is rural mountain county. and the
audience was in sympathy with Scan.
ilh. During heated discussion the
speakers became involved in person
al application, and the crowd mobbed
the Congressman.
MIR. Dinsmore had finished his speech
and taken his seat and Scanlan. a Pop.
ulist, was addressing the crowd. In
the course of his speech Scanlan called
Dlnsmore liar, whereupon the Con-
gressman struck Scanlan in the face
Immediately four of Scanlan's friends
attacted Dinsmore and knocked him to
the ground. While some of them beat
him in the face with their fists, others
kicked him IN the ribs and jumped upon
him with heavy boots. Mr.. Dinsmore
was powerless against the assault, and
before his friends could get TO him he
was almost insen sible. A physician
dressed Mr.. Dinsmore's wounds and
he was taken to Clinton, where he will
be confined to his room for several
days.
From later reports of the affair found
in the Arkansas Gazette it seems that
the above dispatch is considerably
exaggerated. 1t appears the fight was
percipitated by Dinsmore and he got
slightly the worst of it, very nearly or
quite breaking his ankle in the fall.
He was however able to make speech
at Conway the next day. Scanlan is a
Populist, but until recently has been
an ardent Democrat.

its intrinsic value, just as it keeps its

The legislature under our sys-

The business man in need of

PLATFORM FALLACIES.
False and Misleading Assertions by the
Democratic National Convention

x x@Aeo anu hllsleaulnS Assertions by the
Democratic National Convention.
The declaration of financial princi-
pies put forward by the democratic ma
tional convention is shrewd mixture
OF cheap money delusions, half truths
and wholly unfounded assertions. It's
alleged statement of facts has frequent
ly been shown to be untrue; in spite of
this they were deliberately indorsed by
a majority of the representatives of the
democratic party. Since the standard
raised at Chicago will be used to rally
all the forces of silverism, fiatism, cur
rency debasement and debt repudia-
ton, it becomes necessary to refute
once more the statements on which the
American people are asked to support
the democratic candidates. This can be
briefly and effectively done by COM
parison of the assertions of the Chi
cago platform with the simple facts.

why Sir Edwin Arnold Ceased to Use the
