Mr.. Walker Threatened.

About the defeat of the annexation
bill in the Legislature last week tn
Neaos says
sits defeat is owing solely to tn,
opposition to it manifested by the
| Democratic representative from Au
gusta county, Mr.. Silas FL. Walker, tt
whom alone is the responsibility fol
the defeat of the bill to be placed"
After the above rhetorical sentenc,
the following, even more rhetorical
one, was added
"Mr. Walker can not be surprised tt
learn that the Democratic voters oil
Staunton have changed their opinion
of and feeling to him."
When Silas H. Walker voted against
the bill for the annexation of the
suburbs to the city of Staunuon, he
cast as conscientious a vote as was
ever cast in the Virginia Legislature
He did not want the bill to come be
fore the House, and there was no un
certain sound in his voice. He never
deceived anybody about it, and no
body can deny that he had a perfect
right to take the course he did. There
was nothing political in his vote, and
he violated no confidence. The people
OF Staunton did not vote for him with
the understanding that he wouli
support such bill. He was under no
obligation to support it, and to say
that the Democratic. of Staun-
ton have changed their opinions of
him on this account, comes not from
the voice of the democracy Of Staun-
ton. His county constituents are
with him and endorse his course. -.~
When the NeaDs undertakes to
change the Democratic mind of Staun-
ton as to Mr.. Walker, or run him out
of the party, it would do we'll to recall
the story of Hans and the pigs:
One day Hans was sent to drive some
pigs out of patch of clover. So he
went and got up straddle of the fence.
and there he sat and haIlood and hal
lood, but the pigs never moved. After
hallooing himself hoarse he went to
sleep and rolled off the fence into the
clover patch. When the pigs saw such
4 strange creature in there, they took
70 their heels and ran away as fast as
hey could.
Mordl.-In order to drive anybody
,ut of a party, one must get into the
party himself.

THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven-
ton assembled hereby adopts the follow
ing declaration Of principles:
/. The paramount issue at this time
in the United States is indlsputably the
money question. 1t is between the gold
standard, the gold bonds and bank r.
rency on one side, and the bimetallic
STANDARD, no bonds and government u r
rency on the other. On this issue We de-
clare ourselves TO be in favor OF a dis
tinctively American system. We are
unalterably opposed to the single gold
standard and demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard OF gold
aud silver by restoration by this govern.

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-10-05

D currency is inseparable from the
power to coin money, and hence that al
currency intended to circulate as money
should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and it should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States OF interest bearing bonds
in time Of peace, and we denounce as a
blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, ]concurred in by the re-
publican house, of p%lunging the country
in debt by hundredso OF millions in a vain
attempt to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and We demand the
payment Of all coin obligations OF the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option Of the government and not at the
option of the creditors.
.. That over and above all other ques-
tons of policy, we are in favor Of restor-
ing to the people Of the United States
! the time. honored money OF the constltu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money of Washington, Hamilton,
jefferson, Monroe. Jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American peo-
pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
nav his inst ohliDations in an honest
appreciated 100 per e n above all the
great staples Of the country, aud to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
| people Of the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other ques-
tons, however important and ever mo.
mentous they may appear-to sunder if
need be all former party ties and aftiilia-
tions, and unite in ore supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination Of the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has ever been fastened npon civilized
man OF any race or 10 any age. And
upon the coEsummation Of our desires
and efforts we invoke the gracious favor
of Divine Providence.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-10-05

Free silver men should not be discour-
aged by the extravagant claims OF the
gold republican press. Since they have
failed in argument to establish the hon.
esty Of the approaching gold dollar they
have not hesitated to resort to q mis-
representation OF public sentiment and
are trying to create a stampede o Nc
Kinley by claiming everything in sight.
The fact Of the matter is they have failed
to reach the masses in their advocacy OF
the gold standard and they hope to cover
up their weakness until election time by
playing the grand stand" act. The
same tactics were pursued by skiing
Blddle and the money power ~entrenched
in the United States bank in their fight
against Andrew jackson sixty years ago
and all that money, literature and ora
tory could do, could not defeat "Old
Hickory" and the people behind him.
Even the great "triumvirate," Clay,
Webster and Calhoun lent their massive
intellects and brilliant eloquence to de-
feat the old hero IN his fight against CEN
tralized wealth but the common people
stood with him and the moneyed oil
garchy had to go, so it will be again.
ANY man who looks into the magnitude
OF the robbery of the masses being car
ried on through the appreciation OF the
single gold standard is simply appalled,
at the enormity OF the crime, and il he 10
possessed OF a spark OF manhood or a
drop Of the milk of human kindness, he

labor crusher" and his ilk. These men
are playing for gigantic stakes and they
are desperate. There is no misrepre-
sentation of fact or sentiment they will
not resort to in order to deceive the PEG.
pie, and there is no limit to the money
they will spend by fair beans or foul to
accomplish their purpose. They have a
grip upon the people through trusts,
combinations of capital and the power OF
the gold dollar, to recoup themselves out
OF the pockets, yea, the very livelihood OF
the people for every dollar they expend.
If the American people cannot defeat
the god oligarchy in this contest: they
have simply lost the power to govern
themselves and have become the slaves
.,r~--+| Z
of the very men whom they have en-
enriched. We believe firmly that the
people see the danger at this time and
will take tie government into their own
hands ono more by the election of VIM.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 5.-Father a peculiar
case has been begun in the United

Stringer, on behalf of the United States,

The statutes Of the United States
contain a clause that fixes a penalty for
a common carrier neglecting to water
and feed stock, and it is under this
clause that the action is brought. 1t is
understood that this ease Will be fol.
lowed by actions against other roads
which, it is alleged. have violated thi:
