affirm that the experience of mankind
has shown that by reason of their ratur-
al qualities gold is the necessary money
of the large affairs of commerce and bust
ness, while silver is conveniently adapt
ed to minor transactions; and the most
beneficial use of both can be insured only
by the adoption of the former as the
standard of monetary measure and the
maintenance of silver at a parity with
gold by it's limited coinage under suitable
safeguards of law. Thus the largest pos
sible employment of both metals is
gained with a value universally accepted
throughout the world, which constitutes
the only practical bimetallic currency,
assuring the most stable standard end
especially the best and safest money for
all who earn their livelihood by labor or
the produce of husbandry. They cannot
suffer when paid in the best money
known to man, but are the peculiar and
most defenseless victims of a debased
and fuctuating currency, which offers
continual profits to the money changer
at their cost.
'What l have read, my fellow citizens,
is not the statement of the Republican
convention, but of a Democratic con-
vention, the most representative which
probably ever assembled in the country.
Senators and representatives in public
life today, leaders of the Democratic
party in their respective states, thus de-
nounce the Democratic convention held
in the city of. Chicago. They speak
words of truth and soberness. You can
not debaSe the currency of the United
States without degrading the public hon
or. They speak the voice of patriotism.
They repudiate their own party conven-
ton and characterize it's resolutions as
unsound, injudicious, unpatriotic, and
revolutionary. They are to be COM
mended by every lover of his country
everywhere for their courageous stand
and for their bold denunciation of doc
trines which, although adopted by con-
vention representing a large body of
Democrats, are a menace to the peace
and tranquility, the credit and the cur
rency of the country.
The Crisis is Brave1y Met
cit falls to the Republican party this
year, as in many other years of the past,
to carry the standard of national honor,
and it shall never be lowered in it's
hands. 1t meets the crisis with the old
time courage, and if it is given power
the whole world will know that it will
never permit the currency of the country
to be debased or its financial honor
stained. Our adyersaries talk fuently
about the money of the fathers" I
want to say for the fathers that their
money was always good and honest.
They insist that gold and silver alike
constitute the money of the constitution
and the currency established by the early

Three Great States Send Their Travelling
Statesmen.

The second body of visitors was made
up of commercial travellers from New
York. Ohio and Indiana, and to their
tumultuous greeting Maj. Mckinley re-
sponded by saying:
Nobody knows sooner than the COM
mercal traveller whether times are good
or bad. No class of men so registers the
waves of business as the men who stand
before me here today. You are interest
ed in your occupations and in having
prosperity extend from one end of the
country to the other. You are interested
in having all of our workshops running;
all our mines in operation, and all our
workingmen constantly and prOtitably
employed. You are, therefore, this year
possibly more than ever before interested
in the triumph of the political principles
which envelop the well-being and high
est prosperity of the American people.
You know better than any body else
that you cannot sell your goods to your
customers unless your customers can sell
goods to the people. You know that the
people cannot buy unless they have some
thing to do at which they can earn mon
ey, that they may buy them. That's
what is the matter with the country to-
day. That's the diagnosis of our condi-
ton at this hour. Business ahas been
stopped; the wheels of industry are not
running; idle men are on the streets.
Many of the manufacturing establish
ments are closed and you are not doing
as well as you were in 1892.

No delegation of the day was more
cordially welcomed than the band of
iron workers from Cleveland, whose
sturdy figures and frank faces were seen
as soon as the commercial travellers had

said:

ItNCoiN, Feb. .t--G. a. Iovcland,
government weather observer at the
university, is preparing II special report
on u rainbow that was seer from this
city on Wednesday evening. 80 far as
he is able 10 discover no bow has been
seen before under exactly similar cir
cumstanccs.
The rainbow was seen by quite n
number 81 people in Lincoln between 8
o'clock aud five minutes after six. AZ
that time the sun was practically down
aud the bow appeared in the heavens
opposite the setting sun and against u
cloud. II was u perfect cmi.circlc. IL
differed from the conventional Summer
bow only in having Il little more than
The usual quantity of red aud u little
less of the other colorS.
When MIR. Lovcland was asked about
il the other evening he said he had
not been fortunate enough to see it
himself. Professor Allen had the priv.
ilcgc, however. and with Professor
brace had been greatly Interested | II
studying it from the standpoint OF
physics. These professors agree that
the bow must have been produced by
the sun shining into globulcs Of water.
Now the temperature at that time was
somewhere between 20 and - degrees
above zero. Had the water frozen intu
rlobulcs of lee the bow would have
still appeared, but il Is well known
that ice il not globular. but crystalline,
and the SUI shining into the crystals
produces u halo or u sun dog The
problem il tO account for the existence
Of the globulcS of water ut - tcnpcra
