WHERE WOULD BLAINE BE.

Where would James G. Blaine be in
this fight were he alive? In Congress he
voted for the Bland-Allison act over
President Hayes veto. In speech at
that time he said: "The destruction of
silver and establishing gold as sole unit
of value must have ruinous effect upon
all forms of property except those i'm
provements which yield fixed return in
money. 1t is impossible to strike silver
outof existence as money without results
which will prove distressing to millions
and disastrous to tens of thousands" 3"
Would Blaine be found supporting a
party that adopted the single gold stand
ard platform? 1t was Blaine who had
the courage to say in 1890 that there was
not section or line in the Mckinley
tariff law that would open up market
tor another bushel of wheat or another
barrel of pork, and were he alive today
would he not denounce the single gold
standard in the same courageous man
ner that he did the Mckinley tariff law =?

WILLIAM T.. RUSSELL.

The country was shocked on Thursday
by the announcement of the sudden
death of Ex-Governor William L. Russell
of Massachusetts,. There was no public
premonition of his sickness and his
death fell upon the country like a
thunder-clap from an apparently cloud
less sky.
Mr.. Russell was not yet forty years of
age, but he stood before the country the
acknowledged leader of the New Eng
land Democracy and one whose counsels
were seldom disregarded by the Demo.
cracy of the nation. That he was the
most popular Democrat in Massachusetts
is we'll demonstrated by the fact that
three times he was elected to the office
of Governor while the balance of the
Democratic State ticket was defeated.
His triumph in 1880 and again in 1891
was nothing more than ordinary vic
tories for the tide was rolling his way in
those years. But in 1892 with the third
term cry to initiate against him he
carried the cold Bay State" by $500
majority while President Harrison carried
it by over $4,000. This was one of the
greatest personal triumphs in the his.
tory of American politics, and it was
solely due to his extraordinary popular
ity with the people of Massachusetts.
Everybody liked him as man and as a
Governor, and he was the one Governor
IN the United States whose administra-
ton was so highly satisfactory that there
was an "era of good feeling" in Massachu.
setts similar to that which characterized
the National administration of James
Monroe away back in the twenties, dur
ing the three years that Russell reigned
as the chief executive of the State.
What Henry w. Grady was to the
South, william E.. Russell was to New
England. No other young Democrat in
the Eastern States gave so much pro-
mise of future honors and usefulness as
did Mr.. Russell But he has fallen In
the journey with his face yet looking to
the noon day sun. He was one of the
most genial, noble and lovable of men in
every relation of life, and from the
homes of Massachusetts, and the homes
of New England there will be sobbing
hearts over the grave of William +.
Russell

THE woRKINGMEN FOR BRYAN.

The Democratic campaign this year
is going to be the campaign of the work
ingman and farmer against the corpora
ton interests, using everything for
cloak to perpetuate bounties, A work
inglnan swinging dinner pail in his
hand stepped into the Illinois State
headquarters the other day and said to
Secretary Nelson as he laid down the
silver certificates: "This is the widows
mite. 1t is the best can do, but believe
that every workingman should con.
tribute something to the election of
Bryan" Mr.. Nelson said that was
something almost unheard of in famous
campaigns, and shows a new phase Of
national politics. He will substitute
another dollar in place of the bill and
have that framed for souvenir, The
fact that it bore the number E53S45225
and was silver certificate seemed to in
terest the Secretary greatly, and he did
not care to talk about anything else.

SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE.

In Sundays Repository appears an
unsigned article of q prominent business
man of Canton. who pictures q direful
calamity If Bryan should be elected. 1t
is the same old song and dance that has
been given every four years since the war.
This gentleman says:
although Il have been Democrat
and consider the contingency of Mr.
Bryans election very remote, yet as a
business proposition We could not afford
to run even this chance in the present un-
satisfactory condition of business. All the
money we borrow now Is as good as gold
and while understand 1T would require
three years time before any free silver
legislation could be made operative, yet
the two years payments after the three
years had elapsed could under free silver
law, be made to us in deprecated cur
rency on silver basis, which would give
us on the last two of the five payments for
the work only about 80 cents ON the dollar
with silver at the price it Is today. We
are going to cancel the contract and lose
the work. We need 1t badly enough now,
and think our employees would like it,
too, but 1t is simply out of the question
to carry out such contract with the
possibility Of such an outcome"
Now, If this matter is as serious as he
says it is, the public demand to know his
name and what business he is in. They
are entitled to this, and If the organ re-
fuses to give his name, the article will be
branded by the reading public as le
Such anonymous communications will
not influence single vote. They have
been used on previous occasions and are
worn threadbare.
In the campaign Of 1884 the Republican
cry was that If the Democrats would get
in power, the Confederate soldiers would
be pensioned, the Rebel debt paid, and
some went so far as to say the negroes
would again be put back into slavery.
But the Democrats were successful and
the country went on as usual
In the campaign of 1899 the Republican
cry was that If the Democrats were sue
cessful our exports would fall off and
our imports increase, and yet the official
records show that for the year ending
June 30, 1898, the United States exported
products of the value of $S47, ,665, 1874, and
that the following year, Notwithstanding
the stagnation and depression of manu-
features and commerce, in this country,
United States exports amounted to
Ss92, 40, ,572, an increase over the previous
year of S44, 47b, 1878, or gain of 5 per cent.
In 1898 the imports were 1856, 400, 92s.
In 1894 the imports were $854, 1894, ,6s2,
decrease of s2i1, 4O6, 300, or "a per cent,
The statement is simply threat made
to intimidate workingmen to vote the
Republican ticket and the fact that such
threats are being daily made by the capi-
talists, only proves that the coming battle
is a fight between the people and plu-
tooracy. Vote for Bryan ard Sewall.

THE SLEEPING LION OF THE EAST

The political autocrats and goldbug
aristocrats of the East may we'll hesitate
to put third ticket in the field to divide
the goldbug vote in eastern states.
Confident as they feel that New York
and New England will give Republican
majorities, they hesitate to do anything
that might imperil those nfajorities.
They have no soruples, but they do
have fears.
They fear the sleeping lion.
Heretofore the lion has been docile.
recognizing his keepers, obeying their
commands and taking from them such
food as they supplied. He has been luiled
to sleep in political campaigns and put
forth his great strength only under their
guidance.
This sleeping lion is the labor vote of
those great populous states and the time
is at hand which may witness the arous-
ing of the lion. He may turn against
his keepers, and If he does, their arrogance
and their insolence will not avail them.
Tho great cause of the people, ably ad-
vocated in New York and New England,
will produce results which may we'll
cause gold-bug boilers tofalter. From
Bryan's Omaha World-Herald.

WHO ARE THE BOLTERS?

The National Democratic committee, as
selected by the National convention in
1892, called National convention in the
regular established way. The various
States held their conventions and select
ed their delegates. Everything was done
in the usual way from first to last, except
that, when the convention was properly
convened it disagreed with the National
committee as to one officer and made a
selection of its own--which it had a per.
feet right to do, In this year, as in
every other year, some new questions
presented themselves. Without abandon
ing any of the established tenets of the
of the party-withoutle leaving unrecorded
its fealty to all the fundamental princi-
Piles of the order, it gave expression to
the views of the great majority of the
Democrats of that land upon the new
issues. These then became, legally and
accordingly to all party usages, the doc.
trines of the Democratic party. The
men who are talking of another conven.
ton which they propose to call Demo-
cratic, are mere bolters-nothing more.
There could be but one Democratic
National convention in 1896, and it has
been held. There is no power to call
another except the National Democratic
committee, appointed in Chicago last
week. 1t is the height of impertinence
for lot of fellows to be parading them
selves as being Democrats when they are
rejecting alike the platform and the
candidates OF that party.

vote was: Republican, 69,599; Demo
cratic, 30,62l; Populist, 5,32l Prohibit
ton, 2,730. The Republican plurality
was $500 in that year, showing great
increase of voting strength over that re-
turned at the Presidential election two
years before when the plurality for
Harrison was 1870.
Alabama holds State election on Au-
gust 8. At the State election of 1894 the
contest was between the Democrats and
Populists. The Democratic vote was
1l0,285; Populist, 1924. Democratic
majority 1882. The insignificant Re-
publican vote played no part in the
election. At the Presidential election in
1892 the vote stood Democratic, 1885,.
1873; Populist, S5,1S1; Republican, 9,197.
The State, by the fusion Of all the Dem.
ocrats and Populists on the Chicago
platform is solidly Democratic of
course, and the returns from the August
election will throw little light upon the
progress of the battle of the monetary
standards.
The State election of Arkansas takes
place on September Z. At the Presiden-
tial election of 1892 the vote was: Dem
ocratic, 1884; Republican, 1884,
Populist, II ,S3l. AT the State election
in 1894 the vote stood: Democratic, "a
500; Republican, 26,0S5; Populist, 24,541
|
The striking feature of the exhibit is the
large increase of the Populist and the
decline OF the Republican vote. There
was falling off in the total vote of about
1000 as compared with that of 1892
Florida holds her State election on Oc-
tober 8, and Georgia October Z. At the
last Presidential election the only elec.
toral tickets in the field in Florida were
the Democratic and the Populist; and in
1894 the only candidate for State office
was the Democratic candidate for Judge
of the supreme court. In Georgia in 1894
there was fusion of the Republican and
Populist vote for the Populist candidate
for Governor, the contest resulting in the
election of the Democratic candidate by
plurality of 1000. In 1892 Harrison
received ,305 votes and Weaver, Popu-
list, 42,937. The Democratic plurality
in that year was 81, ,056. September l is
the date of the next State election in
Vermont. In 1894 the Republicans
cast Az 1868 votes; Democrats, 14,142; the
Populists polled 740.

AN HONEST DOLLAR.

What is an honest dollarl The gold
contractionists who see their profit in
falling prices and in increased purchas.
ing power Of gold they own and due
them from their debtors, tell us that the
dollar based on gold is the only honest
dollar, and that gold is the only honest
measure of value. But what is the test
of an honest dollarl We are told by the
single standard men that no dollar is
honest that will not stand the test of
fire without losing part of its value,
and that any coin that is worth less
after being melted down than 1t was be.
fore when it bore the stamp of the
Government, is dishonest. The gold
dollar they say will stand this test and
the silver dollar will not.
Our mints are open to the free coinage
of gold-they are closed to silver. The
Government undertakes to coin free of
charge and without limit all gold bullion
offered at the mints into gold coin of
debt-paying power, but to the owner of
silver bullion this privilege Of mintage is
denied. All expenses of converting gold
bullion into coin being borne by the
Government, gold bullion is of necessity
the exact equivalent Of gold coin, and
as gold coin and bullion ore thus made
by the fiat of law interconvertible to say
that the gold dollar is worth its face
value, is no more or less than to say that
1922 grains Of gold are worth 1922
grains of gold and has no more meaning
than to say bushel of wheat is worth
bushel OF wheat. Moreover, If the fire
test is the test of honest money we will
find in some countries that silver is the
honest money while gold is not. Thus
the Mexican silver dollar is worth its
face value and does not lose any of its
value by being melted down. Conse-
according to the test of the
gold contractionist, silver is dishonest in
the United States and at the same time
honest in Mexico.
The true test of an honest dollar is its
purchasing power and that dollar, and
only that dollar, is honest that does
justice between creditor and debtor, The
gold monometallists harp on the injus-
tice Of deprecated dollar, but they
ignore the injuries inflicted on an appre-
ciating dollar. They tell us depreciat-
ed dollar defrauds the creditors, but just
as a deprecated dollar defrauds the
creditor an appreciated dollar defrauds
the debtor, and it is not one whit worse
to defraud the creditor by obliging him
to accept deprecated dollar from his
debtor than to defraud the debtor by
obliging him to pay in dollar made
artifcially scarce and dear.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1896-07-23
UNsouND REASONING.

If the Populistic Dem ocrats could have
their way men who could get together
large sums of money would be in posi-
ton to make big fortunes at the expense
of poor creditors. Bankers would be
especially favored by such free coinage
as is proposed by the Chicago platform.
There would be nothing to prevent q
bank which could raise ten millions of
dollars from taking that money to
Mexico, for instance, and buying with it
ten million dollars worth of Mexican
silver bullion. That bullion, taken to
the United States mint, could be made,
under the present commercial ratio, into
more than eighteen million dollars in
standard silver coins. When the Mexican
bullion had thus been made into Ameri.
can money, the bank could pay its
depositors the ten millions due them in
standard silver dollars, and put the re-
naming eight millions in its vaults as
clear profit. Of course the depositors
would be cheated to the extent of eight
million deprecated dollars.-Cleveland
Leader.
Does the Leader think that the Mexi-
cans would be fools enough to sell their
silver for fifty cents when they could
buy dollars worth of the products of
the United States by gettingit coined
themselvesP As soon aB silver is re-
monetized you will not be able to buy
an ounce of it for .6S. When silver was
demonetized it was worth 1.34 an ounce
or three per cent above par. 1t has
been falling in price ever since until to-
day it is worth but .6S an ounce. 1t
could not help but fall in price when
Congress passed law which forbid it to
be coined into money. If Congress
were now to pass law that only white
wheat should be ground into flour,
would not red wheat fall in price?
