Stewartstown. The platform states that
the mere announcement of the revolution
airy purposes of the Chicago convention
has already shattered confidence, paralyzed
business and alarmed the people. The
Democracy is denounced in these terms:
1--WE unite with all other patriotic citizens
in denouncing the so-called Democratic
national platform for its position upon
almost every question vitally affecting the
interests of the people and the stability of
the Republic; for its approval of govern
ment by the mob rather than by laws for
its cowardly assault upon our courts, for
It's proposition to pack the supreme bench
of the United States for partisan purposes;
for its seditious attempts to promote sec
tional jealousies; for its reasonable pur-
pose to incite social war and provoke con-
tests between classes; for its sympathy
with anarchism; for its undertaking to re-
pudiate public and private debts; for its
avowed intention to uproot and overturn
our existing monetary system"

WhO,wouId CANT

The total product of all the American
silver mines for the calendar year 1895
was about AZ, 10000 ounces of pure silver.
If this product were to be coined into
standard silver dollars at the rate of 16
to /, the face value would therefore be
about $50, 100000.
But the market value of silver for a
long time has been 90 cents per ounce,
making the real value of the 46,300, 900
ounces only S32, 100000. In other words,
If the mine owners under free coinage could
get the people of this country to take silver
dollars at their face value they would pock-
ct the neat little sum of S27, 700,0 900 above
the legitimate profits of mining. (The
cost of mining silver varies from 12t cents
per ounce to the M value.)
The governmeL., !. e., the people of the
United States, would assume the RESPONSE
bility of adding at least 90, 100000 80 cent
silver dollars to our circulation and keep
ing them at par.
But this is not the worst feature. The
silverites propose to hand over this bonus
not merely to the owners of the silver mines
in this country, but to any one who
chooses to bring silver to the mint.
For the total production of silver in the
world is about 167, ,000,O00 ounces. If this
were brought to our mints, the excess of
it face value in silver dollars over the act
ual value would have been over 100, 100000
dollars. And coined, the profit to those
who bought would be over Sl00,000,000.
And under the stimulus of such - r
nous profits obtained with no labor
mine owners the annual produce wot
course increase indefinitely.
Do you feel rich enough to join in m,
ing the mine owner this handsome pres
ent?

The Indianapolis convention and the
ticket nominated are recognized by Demo.
cratic managers in Washington as a serious
menace to Mr.. Bryan's candidacy. The
numbers at the convention, the enthusiasm
developed, the fact that the two candidates
were chosen from Illinois and Kentucky,
states with large electoral vote, and both
in doubt, are not overlooked by Mr.. Bry-
ans managers as indicating that a new and
disturbing element has entered into the can
vass, and one whose efforts will be directed
towards drawing votes away from the nom.

Next Monday In Maine.

Maine will elect state officers and repre-
Sc natives in Congress next Monday. The
largest aggregate vote ever cast in that
state was in 1850, when it reached over
1000 on the gubernatorial candidates.
The Greenback and Democratic parties
fused on their candidate for governor and
elected him by 1870 plurality. Garfield,
however, had plurality of SSG3, and two
years later a Republican governor was
elected by SS72. Since then the Republi-
can pluralities have ranged from 1900 to
1900. The latter figures were given in
1894, but that was an exceptional year
when the Democrats did not poll more
than one-half their usual strength. The
Republican majority in 1894 was 30,927.
If the majority next Monday goes beyond
10000 the victory will be taken as an in
dication that the people of Maine are not
affected by the free silver craze. The Re-
publican rallies there have been the largest
since the war and there are practically no
silver Republicans. Most Republicans ex-
pect plurality of 10000, which would be
40 per cent larger than that of 1892 and
larger than any plurality ever given at a
state election in presidential year. Pre-
dictions are freely made, however, that the
Maine election will be another Democratic
Waterloo, and that the candidates of that
party will be buried under $4,000 votes.

1t is surprising, in view of the advanced
age to which even the youngest of the old
soldiers have attained, to notice that the
membership of the Grand Army is still in
creasing, There were IS, ,4G7 members
mustered in last year, while the total loss
was but II ,406, of which number 1908 were
removed by death, and this was 70 less
than last year. The most important action
of the st. Paul encampment was the pas
sage of resolution urging that pensions
be paid by check directly from Washington,
instead of through pension agencies in va
rious states, which is rightly regarded as
an unnecessary expense.

The ssCrime of fIs73."

Car. Schurz spoke as follows at the close
of his address at the honest money meeting
at Chicago Stature ay: / will only add
that was member of the Senate at the
time and know whereof l affirm; and en-
phatically pronounce all the stories about
the act of 1878 being passed surreptitiously; !;
about senators and members being some
how hypnotized so that they did not know
what they were doing; about some English
men Being on the ground with much money
to promote the demonetization of silver,
and so on, as wholly and unqualifiedly false.
Silver philosophers say prices have gone
down because by the act of 1878 the ( non-
ey Of ultimate redemption" had been cur
tailed, only gold being available for this
purpose. But according to the treasury
statistics we had in 1873 only S25, ,000,0
of coin, including subsidiary silver, in the
country, and now we have much ever $780,
000,00 of gold alone, or more than "a times
as much ''money of ultimate redemption"
as in 1873
