Which Is the Better Authority,

In Mondays editorial columns, in
answer to correspondent from Wes-
ton, ILL.,, the Bloomington Paragraph
says:
Since the resumption Of specie pay
ments on January /, 1896, the govern
ment has kept reserve of 500 0OO.-
700 gold, OprOteCt the issue of United
States notes aggregating S346, 6Sl, 0l6.
This reserve is kept up out Of any
money the treasury may have, there
being no particular tax, or fund pro-
yided by law for this purpose"

Giles on "Our Country says:
= Ever since the resumption
OF specie payments. in 1879, the treas
ury has paid gold for greenbacks when
gold was demanded, and has redeemed
in the same way, the treasury notes
issued under the Sherman law. The
secretary Of the treasury has never ex-
erciSed the discretion given him to re-
deem the latter notes IN silver.
No enc is bound to pay gold to
the government for any tax or other
debt due to it. So that practically
the situation is this: The treasury
holds itself bound to give gold to ev-
cry one presenting United States
note, and has no way compelling any
one to pay gold to it. Such gold as it
gets comes from persons who choose
to take paper money for gold deposited
at the minis or assay offices, or to pay
In gold coins some government tax.
Formerly all duties upon imports
were payable only in gold. Now when
the gold reserve gets low it can only
be restored by the sale of bonds, under
the powers given to the secretary 10

PopuIist Campaign Methods.

Much Is being said about the cam
paign Of education, Unfortunately,
unto the present moment the educa.
tiOn has been largely on the part Of
the Populists. The zeal Of the silver
orator is something to stir the wonder
and alarm OF all intelligent men.
Like the zealOt Of old, the silyerite
rises yet great while before day TO
compass one convert before milking
one Of his cows or finding his way into
the fields. All day long he hastens
his footsteps that he may have an
hour In the evening for visiting some
unconvinced neighbor. He returns
from the field to take up the argu-
ment where he dropped the thread in
the morning. He counts himself the
devinely ordained apostle Of the new
financial movement. He goes to
church on Sunday to obtain inspira.
tion for prosecuting his mission dur
I'ing the week. Farmers picnics by
streams and in groves are held. The
bicycle race, the horse race, the
wrestling watch, and the silver de.
bate increase the crowds. When the
sOund-mOney orator begins his argu.
ment he finds himself working against
signal odds. He who starts out to
convert others finds it hard to confess
he himself has been wrong. He is
imperyious to argument. His mind
may be compared to a bottle empty
and corked as it floats in the sea

Stop the Fight On BreidenthaI.

Certain papers have been making
statements to the effect that Chair.
man Breidenthal spent money
amounting to thousands of dollars
and that, too, the peoples money-to
defeat the nomination Of Ex-Governor
Lewelling at the Abilene convention.
that he has been using other public
money for improper purposes, and is
now devising ways and means to pro-
cure more for like unlawful purposes.
If the men and papers who peddle
such stuff as this believe what they
are saying and had the courage to
prosecute Mr.. Breidenthal in the
courts, where he could meet them on
common grounds, it would be a relief
not only 10 him but to the patient
public. 1t is unfortunate that the
plane Of party politics is so low that
men have come 10 think that filth is
food.
Nobody who knows John Breiden-
thai will believe this sort of stuff
about him. He is an honest clean
handed man. What is more, he is
frank and open in his work, conceal
ing nothing. He looks you in the
face and tells the truth.
Let this dirty fight be stopped.
The work Of the campaign has begun
and there is not a man In the State
so well equipped for its management
as John W. Breidenthal. His exper.
fence, his knowledge of the state and
OF its politics and men, fits him pecu-
liarly well for the place he now occu-
pies. Let US hold up his hands and
lend him all possible assistance.-To.

Bryan'S Old Speeches.

The following are extracts from

during his term in congress. 1t will
be noticed that the good things" are
not all confined to his latest speech
which secured him his nomination for

Some who are ready to use the power
OF the government to limit the supply
