Use less soap-better for clothes.
AND PATERNA LISl1
COMBINED.

From being more than conservative
the democratic party has become
more than radical. The platform
breathes hatred of order, of honest
money, of thrift and prosperity. 1t
rebukes by indirection President
Cleveland for enforcing Federal laws
by keeping open the great lines of
railroad communication in the strike
riots of 1894; it advocates an income
tax in time of peace not only for rev
enue, but because it will hit the
wealthy; it gives a left handed blow
at civil service reform, and hints at
the packing of the supreme court. In
reading the platform as outlined, we
can not fall back on the comforting
thought that platforms were invented
by parties to conceal their purposes,
for there is no concealment here, and,
considering the makeup of the con-
vention, it was impossible there should
be. The conservative leaders Of the
party, the men with whom the old
traditions are strong, have been
turned down. by the action of the
majority, who are socialistic silver
ties first and democrats afterwards
Senator Hill's fate is warning and
prefigures the democratic campaign.
That party will go before the country,
inviting whosoever wants money for
nothing, whosoever believes in the
spoils system, whosoever believes
that state rights include the right to
set fire to trains because they are the
property of corporations, whosoever
believes that the gold reserve should
be destroyed to come into the ranks
of the army with the double faced
banner of paternaIism and anarchy
combined.
The choice that every man must
make in this campaign is whom he
will serve-sound money or free sill
yer, progress Or paternalism. order
or anarchy. The highest patriotism
points the way clearly. Men cannot
vote to indorse the democratic plat
form without indorsing all it contains.
The individual democrat who believes
in honest money, the safety of prop
erty, and civil service reform. can
not accept the result at CHICAGO with
out stultifying himself. The appeal
made by the platform of the republic-
an party. is. to him as good citizen
not to fall down before the strange
gods the Chicago convention IS run
ming after.-Trdnscript.

than any other party name. The
currency and credit of the govern
ment are good now and must be kept
good forever Our trouble is not with
the character of the money that we
have, but with the threat to debase it.
We have the same currency that we
had in 1S92-good the world over and
unquestioned by any people. Then,
too, we had unexampled prosperity.
Our difficulty now is to get that money
in circulation and invested in produc-
tive enterprises which furnish en-
ployment to American labor.
This is impossible with the distrust
that hangs over the country at the
present time, ,and every effort to make
our dollars any of them worth less
than 100 cents each only serves TO in
crease that distrust What we want
is sound policy, financial and indus
trial, which will give courage and con-
fidence to all, for when that is done
the money now unemployed, because
of fear for the future and lack to con-
fdence in investment, will quickly dis
appear in the channels of trade.
Gentlemen, the employment of our
idle money, the idle money that we
already have, in gaining pursuits will
put every idle man in the country at
work, and when there is work there is
wages, and when there are work and
wages there are consumers who con-
stitute the best market for the prod
ucts of our country.
Having destroyed business and con-
fdence by free trade policy, it is
now proposed to make things still
worse by entering upon an era of de-
preciated currency. Not content
with the Inauguration of the ruinous
policy which has brought down the
wages of the laborer and the prices of
farm products, its advocates now Of
fer new policy which will diminish
the value of the money in which wag-
es and products are paid.
Against both of these we stand op-
posed. Our creed embraces the hon.
est dollar, an untarnished national
credit, adequate revenues for the
uses of the government, protection to
labor and industry, preservation of
the home market and reciprocity,
which will extend our foreign mar
kets. Upon this platform we stand
and submit it's declarations to the So
ber and considera te judgment of the
American people.
thank you again for this call and
greeting, and it will give me very
great pleasure, ladies and gentlemen
to meet you all personally so

Presidential years are always disas-
trous to business. Everything is al
ways in a more or less unsettled con-
dition till after the election and the
complexion of the incoming congress
is more definitely known, SO that busi-
ness men may count on their chances
of success in certain lines of venture.
If such a disaster should overtake us
as the election of the free silver, free
trade, anarchistic ticket made up at
Chicago, this country would see the
worst panic ever known in its history.
Just as soon as the election is over,
and before the repudiators could get
possession of the government, and
get in their work of Reputation the
banks would call in their loans, busi-
ness would be. crippled at every point
for want Of fcapital, mills and factories
would be obliged to shut down and
blank ruin, bankruptcy and all the
horrors of destitution would stare us
in the face. The advocates of free
silver must not think that they can
force their creditors to accept the de-
preciated coin in quittance of their
debts without great opposition on the
part of those to whom they are in
debted.- The issues between the two
great parties is well defined. Free
silver and free trade on the one hand,
and honest money and protection to
American Industries on the other.
Surely no intelligent man can hesi-
tate long which side he will choose
The Earth.

THE CAMPAIGN.

It was less than an hour after ad
journment of the Chicago convention
when the Thirty second Ward Forak-
er Club of Cleveland arrived in Can
ton, o., 800 strong, with their wives
and daughters. They marched at
once to Governor McKinley's resi-
dence. After President D. Ell. Lucas
had made presentation address
Governor Mckinley said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,
and My FeIloao Citizens,-It gives me
very great pleasure to welcome you
to my home city and to my home,
and I appreciate more than I can find
words to express the honor and the
compliment of this call. thank you
for your congratulations and the as
surances of support which you make
for the great principles for which this
year the republican party stands.
congratulate you upon having for
your name one of the most illustrious
of our statesmen in Ohio, Joseph Ben
son Foraker.
My fellow citizens, recent events
have imposed upon the patriotic peo-
pie of. this country a responsibility
and duty greater than that of any
since the civil war. Then it was a
struggle to preserve the government
of the United States. Now it is a
struggle to preserve the financial hon
Of 4,
States. Then it was contest to save
the Union. Now it is contest to
save spotless its credit. Then section
was arrayed against section. Now
men of all sections can unite and will
unite to rebuke the reputation of
our obligations and the debasement of
our currency. 3is<'
In this contest patriotism is above
party. and national honor is dearer

should interfere. The Spanish force,
although apparently averse to MAX
ing war except in desultory way on
women and children and the aged, is
nevertheless so formidable in num-
bers that the patriots do not hope to
conquer except by the adoption of
Fabian policy. The Cubans are re-
ported as in deadly earnest and de-
termined to drive the Spanish army
from their shores, if it is necessary to
starve them to retreat by a practical
destruction of the island. The carry
ing into effectof this policy is justifi-
able on the the part of the Cubans,
but it should not be forgotten that
the ruin will fall heavily upon
American interests. How long they
are to remain unprotected rests with
the administration.

The great majority of the American
people are true to bi-metalists. They
would like to see both gold and silver
remain in the future, as they have in
the past, the money of this country,
but they do not believe in the free
coinage of silver, because we have
more than enough of it now coined.
1t has driven the $3.50, ,000,0 900 of gold
out of circulation, and no one now
sees gold coin in the ordinary course
of business, while silver is the COM
mon circulating medium. The banks
are loaded down with it, the people
are burdened with it, and there are
several hundred millions of it in the
treasury at Washington that nobody
wants at any price. Too much is
great sufficiency.

If the policy of Protection is not to
be just in its application, and nation
al in it's scope, based upon broad prin-
ciple, then the sooner it is srelinquish-
ed the better. 1t cannot be sustained
and ought not to be, for one class or
interest or section, and denied to
others equally within the contempla-
tion of it's purpose. The raw material
class have rights which cannot be
ignored. Those who think otherwise,
forget that the advanced product is
only the manipulation of the less ad-
vanced product is only the manipula-
ton Of the less advanced, and the less
advanced of the still less finished pro-
duct, with human labor as the chief
factor in all; and Protection upon the
one cannot be successfully and per-
manently maintained without Protec-
tion of the other.-Ho7e. Williano Nc

VERMONT PAPERS BOLT.

We bolt and await the nomination
of another democratic ticket that
democrats can consistently support.
AS matter of party discipline con-
vention that accomplishes ito purpos-
es by such a high handed theft as in
the Michigan case, that repudiates
democratic administration, that goes
out of the party for candidate, and
nominates a man who proclaims in
advance that he will not abide the
result unless his side wins has no
claim to party fealty.
AS a matter of principle, free coin
age is but another and more vicious
form of ssprotectionism, sure to be-
gin in commercial disaster where
high tariff is sure to end. As an ear
nest believer in genuine bimetallism,
resting on the only safe basis of in
ternational action, just to debtor and
creditor alike, and seeking the good
of mankind instead of subsidy to ia
vored interest, deplore the action of
Chicago as likely to set back the
cause for years. @. Ell. DAVENPORT.
The Refornser will support neither
populist, anarchism, silverism nor
McKinleyism. The democratic con-
vention at Chicago having been stam-
peded the Reforner calls for another
deal, the adoption of a platform en-
bodying the cardinal principles of
democracy and the nomination of a
true democrat to stand thereon. This
is to preserve the organization invio-
late. In the meantime the Refornaer
stands, as it were, in statt qato.-J. H.

deepens the horror. The number of

This was communicated by the Jap

England found, "a few years ago, that
her annual consumption of coal was
1SO, ZOO, 900 tons. Scientific men fore
told the early exhaustion of the sup
ply by the continuance of that rate.
But, in spite of the prophecy, the rate
holds. American men of science as
sure US now that, at the present rate
of consumption, the anthracite beds,
which are pretty well defined, will be
exhausted in one hundred years. Some
bituminous coal would remain. But
the lavish use is not checked by the
forecast.

QUIZ TRADE WITH JAPAN.

The comments of the new Japanese
minister to this country, Mr.. Hoshi
Teru, on the progress of that country
in manufactures and the visit to
Washington of two officers of the
Construction Corps of the Imperial
Japanese government to place an
order for two second class cruisers of
the Japanese type, should set our
manufacturers to thinking. 1t is evil
dent that the possibilities of trade
wifi Japan are not duly appreciated
by American merchants or that they
of hustle which is popularly supposed
to be their chief characteristic. Last
year about 40 per cent of the total
of Japan came to the United
States, while on the contrary of the
Japanese imports only about seven
per cent were from this country. 1t
is stated by those in a position to
know, that American merchants
might readily increase their exports
Japan if they would devote some
attention to that market and ac-
commodate prices and methods of
freightage to meet the necessities of
the trade. Mr.. Connolly, the United
States consul at Osaka, is of the
opinion that Japan is ready to trans
fer the larger part of it's trade with
foreign nations to the United States if
their merchants are only met balf
way. We hear a good deal of super
huous production in this country.
Japan would seem to be an avail able
outlet for SO much of this, if proper
steps were taken to that end.

Cripple Greek furnishes curious
instance of the freakish fortune which
attends upon gold digging. In the
region there are nearly 10000 "pros-
pect claims;" each of them has cost
not less than 5000, and fully $500 of
them have failed to show the smallest
trace of gold. But in the same region
there are just now more than 100 pro-
ducing claims shipping ore to reduc-
ton works to be converted into fine
gold. One of these alone has yielded
81, 500, 900; some have given ore which
will run s25, 900 to the ton; and one of
them is said to have given $1,OO0,000
worth of gold in "a hours. The Grip
pie Greek people insist that every one
of the $500 claims is good. They say
that the diggers' did not persevere
long enough.

The OrPRnisf.

An animated discussion has taken
place in the correspondence columns of
Musical News on the question whether
an accomplished organist can be at the
same time piano virtuoso, or # not
quite the latter at least a competent
teacher of pianoforte playing in it's
higher developments. Our own opinion,
says The Keyboard. is that, although
certain qualities of technic are requisite
in common for both instruments, there
are at the same time such considerable
differences in their character and con-
struction as to neoessitate the employ
merit of widely differing means for pro-
ducing what on paper are identical
effects.
Nevertheless high excellence in the
play of both instruments is by no
means impossible in one and the same
individual The happy combination is,
we admit, rarely found, simply because
the highest musical gifts are not often
met with.
