WIN We Are Late This week.

We owe our readers an apology or
rather an explanation for the delay in
this weeks issue of the HERALD.
Three causes have combined to pro-
duce IL. Extra Job work that had to
be done without delay, the election

and extreme carefulness in setting up
and the extra size OF the paper this
week. All the extra printers in town
have been engaged and a force kept
busy both night and day all this

paign issue of the HERALD and gives
prominence to political questions and

The withdrawal of gold from the
New York sub-treasury during the
last three or four years has been due
to the fact that more money has been
leaving this country than has been
coming 20 it. Under such circum-
stances the gold reserve in the U. s.
treasury is drawn upon to furnish the
necessary gold to settle the balance of
trade against us. AS soon as the re-
publican doctrines of protection and
reciprocity set our home factories at
work and furnish foreign markets for
our produce the movement of gold
will be toward the United States in
stead of away from it and the yellow
metal will find its way into the vaults
Of the treasury by the operation of
the same natural laws of trade that
now drain it.

become dangerous if misstated, where
as theory is susceptible of becoming
the foundation for unlimited promis-
es, and it is not easy to disproYe
promises.
Again, theory admits OF different
promises in different localities. Ex-
perience doesn't. Theory admits OF
different promises to different classes.
Experience doesn't. So that in their
business of misleading the people
theory is infinitely superior TO exper-
fence for these purposes: AS in 1892
theory enabled them to say to the
farmer. free trade will give you bet
ter prices for your food products; and
to the laboreT, free trade will give you
cheaper food. So in 1896. The
theory of free silver enables them to
say in New York. free coinage Of sill.
yer al 16 to / will make silver equal
to gold, while to the west and south
they say it will not.
Experience has proven that no ma
ton can successfully circulate coin at
any other value than the intrinsic
value of the coin, except as token
money. Their theory enables them
to say that it can be done and that
they will do it. OF course we know
this is only promise, and since 1892
we know what democratic pr Misses
based on theory are worth. With
free and unlimited coinage of silver
they will not be token dollars There
will be nobodys to redeem them and
nothing to redeem them with.
Today by law the faith of the ma
ton is behind every silver dollar and
the nation is pledged to keep them
good as gold.
Their theory says that 80 cents
worth OF silver will be as good as 100
cents in gold without the pledge of
the nation back of it.
This is another democratic promise
that will 90 to protest like the prom
Uses of 1892.
Another of their theories as stated
by Bryan is, that the price of COM
modities is governed by the volumn of
money in circulation. This they it
crate and reiterate-yet experience
proves that the theory is false.
France has more than $50 per
capita, Switzerland right beside it has
less than SIP, Sweden, only short
distance from France, has only $3.1
per capita circulation and still no per-
ceptible difference can be found in the
price of commodities in the three
countries.
1t is easy to be seen that theory is
much better for their purposes than
facts or experience.

The recent rise in wheat has an
swered the argument of the Popocrat
..that when silver fell wheat fell y
For few days the '.sound money men
advanced prices for effect on election =
So said the Popocrat. Geo. w. Bird
in his speech in Lancaster said, 'there
was no rise in cash wheat, the rise
quoted was only the gambler bet that
it would be worth more in December
or May next" Every farmer can
read in his market report that the ac-
tual cash sales show an advance of rs
cents per bushel. During this rise in
wheat silver has fallen. Other pro-
ducts have risen in sympathy with
wheat. The object lesson taught to
every intelligent farmer is very plain.
The fall in silver has had nothing to do
with prices, but supply and demand
does have. The worlds supply of
wheat is short. Countries that usu-
ally supply a portion of the surplus
now have to buy, and our surplus COM
mands more, there being a greater de-
mand and smaller supply or surplus.
just so large or small home demand
lessons or increases our surplus, and
it has a like effect on the worlds sur
plus.
II the Popocratic party comes no
nearer truth in all its statements than
Mr.. Bird did in his statement in re-
gard to wheat, why should that party
be followedp If he would mislead in
one thing would he not try to in an
other?
Are the farmers ready to accept
again theory at best and run the risk
of another (but worse one) lesson
like '929 We know what kind of times
Mckinley times are. Vote for such
times again. Vote for protection, re-
ciprocity and sound money. Don't

Fish Law Invalid.

A decision has been hended down by
the Wisconsin supreme court in the case
of Will WendIer against the state, N
which it is held that the general fish
and game law passed by the last legis-
lature was never legally enacted, and
therefore void. The opinion is written
by Justice Winslow, and is approved by
the entire court. Fishermen who
jump to the conclusion that the decision
relieves them from all restriction, are,
however, doomed to disappointment.

passed no law on the subject leaves the
