Two years ago Con. G. NJ. Butt was
nominated by the Peoples party as
candidate for member Of congress
from this district, and was also en-
dorscd by the Democratic conEreSslon-
al convention. He advocated the free
coinage of nllvrr and tie issuing of II
large volume Of non interest bearing
legal tender notes. On account OF his
un8Ound views upon the currency
question The Iowa County Democrat
opposed his election, The same rea-
sons now exist, only in II hundred fold
greater degree, why Democrats every
whrro should oppose the election Of
Bryan and SrwaIl who, In the so called
democratic national convention at
Chicago last week, were nominated for
president and vice president, upon II
frtn silver, popuIiStc platform. Re

undemocratic and revolutionary. Its
principles and policies If carried into
effect would retard our country's pro
gress.
In dealing with the paramount Is.
sue before the country, II demands

gold and silver nj the ratio Of 10 to !,
when It Is u well known fact that the
present commrrciai ratio Of the two
metals Is about - to !. The chtab-
lshment Of the false ratio would he
step backwards. 1t would debaSo
the unit or standard OF value Of the
nation, destroy our credit at home ana
abroad, and work untold injury TO
our trade with the people Of other
countries. The demand that the
standard silver dollar, COINED at the

gold, for all debts, public and private,
is IA undcmocratic and vicious ~

enactment Of Huch Legislation ~ Will

tion which adopted il, was FROM first

olutlon. They arose rs the apostles
of the spirit of discomfort which
pervades the land, and which has
sprung from the false political teach

opposed TO the principles of true

convention with relentless hand,
Minority rights were tramplcd upon,
democratic traditions and prccrdrnts
set aside and many of those who have

pOsod 20 an increase II Il that would IN
evitably unsettIe valves. deprociats the
currency, and force US TO an inferior
standard.
Il IS not true. IS the frec silver orators
practically assert, that the Republican
party is seeking 10 make gold the only
form Of money in the country. On the
contrary. it merely insists that Other
forms of money shall be kept as good as
gold. There should be no digestion to
thA from any man who has the pros
perity and welfare OF the country at
Heart. There cannot be two standards
OF value at the same time. and the Re
publicans contend that the one which
now exists, and which is known TO be
safe. should not be exchanged for one
that would be unsafe and in every way
mischievous. The silver element now in
the currency is freely accepted because II
is on parity with gold, and the RePub
Leans wish to continue il in service on
that basis; but they are against the free
and unlimited coinage oft because that
would destroy the parity and food thu
country with deprecated circulation
1t is not question of dispensing Will
the use Of silver, but of adapting thu
volume OF it to the conditions which gov
ern its value. The limit Of safety in tn
coinage Of such money has been reached
and the Republican party says that w
should have no more OF it when the result
would certainly he stupendous misfor
tune. That is what is meant, and al
that is meant, hy the maintenance of thu
gold standard.

The Gold Standard.

The fact cannot be too often repeated
that the declaration of the Republican
party in favor Of the gold standard sim
ply means the maintenance of a thing
that already exists. II is the free silver
people who propose to make a change
aud establish new standard. They are
against the present currency system, and
anxious to substitute for it one under
which different kind of money would be
used FOE the payment of debts and wages
aud the transaction Of the country's
business. The Republicans believe in
keeping things as they are in that re-
spect. That Is to say, they hold that we
now have sound aud satisfactory money,
sud that Il would he foolish and disas.

The campaign liar has begun his work.
His first story is to the effect that the
owners of tin plate mills will cut down
wages in order to compel workmen to
vote the Republican ticket. And yet it
was only short time ago, when the
Democratic party was arguing against
the protection of these tin plate mills,
that the stump speakers made the as
sertion that the industry was so small as
to be of little Importance and never
would grow. Small industries mean few
employees and as consequence it is in or
der for the Democrats to explain how
the tin plate manufacturers can help the
Republican ticket to any appreciable ex.
tent, even if they compelevery one oftheir
workmen to vote for Major Mckinley.
