"My Country Flratlo

Mr.. Editor, at the risk Of being called
crank, bolter, a renegade and other
similar endearing epithets known to
the politicians vocabulary, I refuse to
vote for William Mckinley, not be-
cause of himself, but because Of tho is
sue involved in the campaign against
silver
Bimotallism was first instilled into
me by Republican platforms, by Repub-
lican newspapers and by Republican
statcsmen-the declarations Of nation
al, state ard county conventions, the
editorials of such Republican journals
as tho Chicago Inter Ocean, Philadel-
phia Press, Omaha Bee and many 9TH
ers, and such eminent statesmen as
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine, Sher-
man, Paddock, Henderson, Thurston.
The declarations Of these conventions
and expressions and utterances Of these
newspapers and statesmen have been
coupled with much ardent and earnest
study and investigation ON my own
part. The result is that l now have an
abiding conviction that free coinage, or
bimetallism, is as necessary for the well
fare of the Uaited States, the pcrpetuity
of our republican institutions, the hap
piness and prosperity Of our people, as
are the spring sowing Of seed by our
farmers and tho garlcring of bounti-
full harvest
Then, shall I, for the sake Of party,
put this conviction aside and tumble in
to the band wagon, which, it seems to
me, and must appear so to Senator
Thurston, is headed in the direction of
Wall street?
No, cannot do this, let the sacrifice
be what it may. "My country first and
my party a-terward" is my motto. -.

terry. could reach St. Louis September

nival stage where no curtain will drop

Tuesday, October 9Th, the approach OF
mysterious cavalcade of beings from an
other sphere. AS this mighty army set

Algor.
Here is a plain, unequiyocal comics.
sion from man who has more than any
other man to do with the qualification
of the Michigan delegation at tho st.
Louis convention. General Algcr admits
that the price Of silver has gone down,
and that the price Of every other prod
uct has gone down accordingly. These
are facts which no intelligent and hen.
est man will deny. If the prices Of
wheat, corn, potatoes, wool and cotton
and silver and all other products have
depreciated-that is, if you can buy as
much with so cents worth Of silver as
you used to with 81 worth-then
the price of gold must have appreciated,
There is no other conclusion that can
logically be drawn. The price Of gold
can be estimated only with respect to
its purchasing power, and if the metal
in gold dollar will buy twice as much
in the markets Of the world as it would
90 years ago then that dollar has dou.
bled in value. 1t is absurd to maintain
that gold alone Of all the products has
remained standard. Such an argument
is but the assertion Of the doctrinaires
and has no basis III fact
General Alger has expressed fact
which cannot be Controyerted. He has
admitted the truth of the basic contcn-
ton of the advocates of free silver. He
has unintcntionally demonstrated the
righteousness Of their cause, and why,
in the name of all the gods, should he
insist that the only honest dollar which
this country can maintain is q dollar that
is 81? The Michigan delegation went to
the ST. Lois convention on "a platform
pledged to bimetallism. The members
of that delegation, led by General AL
ger, disobeyed the tacit instructions of
the convention which nominated them
and voted to maintain an appreciated
single standard. They return home,
and General Alger confesscs to the JUS
tice Of the silver cause, but still insists
that the So dollar is the only honest dol.

EQUAL DOLLARS.
A Few Pertinent Questions Asked OF the
GolGbuR Presidential Candidate.

GolGbuE Presidential Candidate.
In his address to the notification
committee" Mr.. Mckinley said:
"The money of the United States
and every kind or form of it, &hether
Of papes, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world. IL must
not only be current at its full face value
at home, but it must be counted at par
in any and every commercial center Of
the globe. TIE sagacious and farseeing
policy Of the great men who founded
our government, the teachings and acts
of the wisest financiers at every stage in
our history, the steadfast faith and
splendid achievements Of the great par
" to which we belong and the genius
and integrity of our people have always
demanded this and will ever maintain
it. The dollar paid to the farmer, the
wage Garner and tho pensioner must
continue forever equal in purchasing
power to the dollar paid to any govern
ment creditor. "
If under the 'existing gold stand
ard" every dollar, whether of paper,
silver or gold" is "tho best in the
world, why was it necessary for this
country to issue $500, 100000 in inter-
est bearing bonds to obtain gold?
If under the existing gold standard"
every dollar, whether Of paper, silver
or gold, 4" is counted at par in any and
evc4y COMMERCIAL center OF tins globe,
why was it necessary for the govern
ment to issue $500, 900, 900 in bonds to
obtain gold?
If under the existing gold standard"
every dollar, whether Of paper, silver
or gold" is equal in debt paying
power" why was it necessary for tho
government to issue $500, 100000 in
bonds to obtain gold?
II "the dollar paid to the farmer,
the WACO Garner and the pensioner" il,
under the existing gold standard, "
equal i'll debt paying power to the dollar
paid to the foreign creditors of the gov
eminent, why was it necessary to Issue
$500, 600, 900 in bonds in order to ''main-
tain our credit abroad" by paying our
foreign creditors in gold?
Under the existing gold standard,
which Mr.. McKinloy's platform says
''must be preserved" the silver dollar
which the wage Garner, the. farmer and
the pensioner gladly accepts is not equal
in debt paying power to the gold dollar
when the foreign creditor Of the govern
ment is to be paid off. Mr.. Mckinley
knows this to DO true and he regards
very lightly the intelligence Of the
American people when no imagines
that he can make them believe that the
equality Of the American dollar, effec-
tually destroyed by the gold standard,
can he restored by preserving" this
same gold standard. Omaha World

Tho Gamblers, Candidate.

There is a class of people in that great
center of commerce, New York, who
care nothing for the national honor. Its
population embraces a great number of
men who live by their wits, who pro-
duce nothing, who add nothing to the
general wealth, who in no respect make
the world better for having lived in it,
who get the best of every person and
everything they can, not excepting the
government Of the United States. It is
these people, without regard to party,
that Governor Mckinley is made to rep
resent in his candidacy for president.
There is not a farmer or workingman
in the state Of Ohio who can be in prac-
teal sympathy with the platform on
which he stands. The goldbugs Of the
east have shrewdly taken western man
for the presidency and gagged and bound
him. They will apply the lash without
mercy when they want him to speak

At the corner of the Rue dc Seze and the
Rue Basse du Rampert on the afternoon
Of April private carriage, an ordinary
Partisan fiacre, and washerwoman' 8
wagon barred the way. The drivers of
these vehicles were indulging in the Pari-
sian form Of billingsgate, when the horses
became very FESTIVE, and the one attached
to the fiacre dashed away and started to-
ward the opera The wheels struck the
pavement; the driver was thrown out and
crushed under the wheels. A little farther
on a man who CHANGED to be passing was
run into and badly hurt. Meanwhile a
young servant girl, who was leaning out
of fifth story window to see what was GO
ing on below, suddenly fell forward, the
window bar having broken, and was in
stantly killed on the pavement. The horse
was still running madly on. Twopolicemen
rushed forward to stop him. One of them
fell, kicked by the horse The other was
knocked down by the carriage. Turning
suddenly into the Rue Caumartin, the
animal dashed up against one of the great
wagons of the Bon Marche, and in the col
lision tore off wheel of the flacre. A lit
tie farther on he upset another large goods
wagon and Immediately after broke the
shafts and lantern OF another fiacre. The
horse was finally stopped by two men,

for use in the family residence, is the incan.
descent electric light. safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to

"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send

them what you want.
