when it says there was not a. cor

a year ago. referring to the incipiency
of the movement in this state for
democratic state convention in 1895.
The tidal wave of 1894 which swept
the democrats out OF congress was an
emphatic protest from the rank and
file of the party against the uncondj
tional repeal of the Sherman cowardly
makeshift for free coinage. and the
reputation by Cleveland and his cuck-
COS of the national democratic platform
of 1892. This platform pledged the
democratic party to hold to the use
and free coinage of silver and gold
as the standard money of the coun-
try. Free coinage has been doctrine
of the democratic party since 1877, and

never given to a president. The coer-

porary says, will insure the election OF

The bulldozers have raised the ques.
ton whether an employees vote be-
longs to himself or to the man for
whom he works. If it belongs to the
employer, there is no free ballot and
this IS not a government by the people.
If the employer can intimidate his en-
ploye by threats of discharge and pos
sible starvation, the employe becomes
political serf and is on the high road 10

not endure such treatment. American

and subverters of the constitution who
thought to club the wage-earner into
submission have aroused a feeling

The Supreme Duty Which Confronts An
True Freemen.
In great emergencies men seem to
rise up to save the people, but it is for
the people to accept their salvation or
choose slavery. 1t is for free men to
range themselves alongside of such
spirits as Samuel Adams, John Hancock,
George Washington and Thomas JEFF
ferson, Charles Sumner and Abraham
Lincoln, who stood for freedom and JUS
tice in opposition to tyranny and OPP
preston. So also in the conflict to-
day, the wealth-creators, who represent
the rejuvenated or the new democ-
racy," are, under the leadership of VIII
liam j. Bryan, fighting aginst indus
trial slavery, against the most danger

constituencies plutocracy. On the other
side we find the Morgans. the Belmonts
of evil secret bond deal reputation, and
a host of nnlti-millionaires who haze
fattened off of nations need and peo-
pies misery; the Rockefellers and the
Whitneys of the Standard Oil octopus
the gamblers of Wall street and the
Csurers and acquirerS of wealth; the
bosses, Hanna, P1att and Quay, the cor
morantS who have grown inordinateiy
wealthy. not through honest means sc
much as through special privileges, and

the oreat freRhOOtPrS on the high seas

the party as still believe the interests of
the people should best be subserved by the
use of the two precious metals as stand
ard money? I repeat the inquiry of our
candidate for the presidency: If the gold
standard is the best-if it is desirabIe-why
even this thought of changer Why even
the suggestion of international agree
ment? Why humble ourselves at the feet
of England that she may consent to some
thing that will not rebound to our credit as
a people? This clause OF the republican
platform is a confession of weakness. Eth
er the single gold standard is the best for
the country it is not. If the best, why
ask the consent of England or any other
nation that bimetallism be restored? If
motif its maintenance BODIES evil and only
evil to our people-why shall not our gov
ernment-the greatest the world has ever
known-take the lead in accomplishing
what the republican, platform, by iInplica-
ton, admits should be done? In a word,
is not the clause of the republican platform
looking to international agreement a
feeble confession that return to bimetan-
ism is desirable?
Believes the Democrats Are Right.
81 am firmly persuaded that in this great
contest we are in the right; that the cause
which we represent is that of the people.
We believe that much of the evil that has
befallen us as people is the result of the
unW1Se, unjust financial legislation of the
last third of century, and for which the
republican party is solely responsible.
Wherein is there promise for the future?
Wherein is there hope? Will relief come
by the election of Mckinley and the res
toration to power of the party at whose
doors lies the responsibility of the ills that
we endure, for the burdens that are upon
us? BY it's platform. by the utterances of
those high in it's counsels, 1t stands pledged
to continuance, not a cure, of the ills
that are upon us. 1t promises nothing;
holds out no hope, by words, even, of a
return to the monetary policy of the found
ers of the government-the policy that for
SO many years brought prosperity and con-
tentment OF all the people.
Il am firmly persuaded that in the pres
ent contest the interests of all the people
are bound up in the success of the demo-
cratic party, whose creed upon the pend
ing vital issue was the living faith of the
founders of government. Now, as In
the struggles of the past, 1t appeals to the
judgment, to the patriotism, the sense of
the American people-its candidate for
the presidency, the able and eloquent
statesman whose words have cheered the
Respondent, given hope and inspiration to
his countrymen, and whose Inauguration
will be the earnest of better days to the

TO SERVE AS A SNARE.
What the Real Purpose OF the Indianapo
lis MnHement Is


lis Movement Is.
Yesterdays Geographic advices from
Chicago carried the news that letters
received at the headquarters of the ma
tionaI dmocratic party" indicate that
the Palmer and Buckner ticket will not
get much support from democrats un-
less the national committee demon
strates by its actions that the move
ment is not in any way an adjunct of
McKinleyism.
This reads as If it was intended for
humor. Can it be possible that there is
a man in the country of the most ordi-
nary intellectual endowment who does
movement is nothing else and was
never intended to be anything else but
an adjunct of McKinleyism? 1t is eN-
pected, of course, that the movement
will be supported by democrats who do
not want to support free coinage. but
who could not be induced under any cir
cumstances to vote for Mckinley, but
the leaders of the movement, even to
the standard-bearers, will vote for the
republican candidates, because it is for
the election of those candidates and
nothing else their movement was in
augurated.
One of the most remarkable develop
ments of this remarkable campaign is
the state of mind of the democrat who
wants to beat Bryan, but does not want
to vote for Mckinley. Generally. when
man is opposed to his party's candi-
dates he votes for the nominees of the
other party, but this isn't the case this
year. We are now enjoying the con-
temptation of democrats who believe
they can aid in the election of the re-
publican candidates and still be loyal
to the democratic party, although the
apostles of this new political creed tell
those democrats that if their plan shall
promise just before election to be a

failure. then they must abandon it and
swallow the g. O. p. candidates neck
and crop. That is, those apostles bold
1y announce that the alleged purpose of
the decoy movement-that of affOrding
democrats a chance to vote for demo-
cratic candidates-iS not it's purpose,
at all; that it was organized for the
sole purpose of electing Mckinley, and
that it intends to swing itself right
into the Mckinley camp if the prospec-
tive failure of the policy of indirection
shall necessitate the adoption of the
policy of direction.
Perhaps, therefore, it is not surpris-
ing to find democrats who sincerely be-
lieve that the decoy movement is an
honest one and in the interest of de-
mocracy, and it is not to be wondered
at, at all, that democrats who gave the
movement credit for honesty should
manifest disgust for it now that its
leaders and mouthpieces are giving it
dead away" Thousands of democrats
who might have been induced to vote
for Palmer and Buckner if the Indian
apolis movement had retained shred
of credit for POLITICAL integrity will
