The demonetization Of silver in 1873
enormously increased the demand for
gold, enhancing the purchasing power
and lowering all prices measured by
that standard, and since that unjust
and indispensable act, the prices Of
American products have fallen upon an
average nearly 80 per cent, carrying
down with them proportionstely the
money value Of all other forms of prop
erty. Such fall of prices has destroyed
the profits of legitimate industry, in.
juring the producer for the benefit of
the non.producer, increasing the bur.
den Of the debtor, swelling the gains of
the creditor, parslyzing the productive
energies Of the American people, rele-
eating to idleness vast numbers of
willing workers, sending the shadows
of despair into the home of the honest
toiler, filling the land with tramps and
paupers, and building up colossal for.
tunes at the money centers.
In the effort to maintain the gold
standard, the country has, within the
last four years, in time Of profound
peace and plenty, been loaded down
with a $262, 900, 900 of additional in
terest-bearing debt, under such cir.
cumtsances as to allow a syndicate of
native and foreign bankers to realize a
net profit of millions ON a single deal.
1t stands confessed that the gold
standard can only be upheld by so de-
pleting our paper currency as to force
the prices Of our products below the
European and below the Asiatic level,
and enable us to sell in foreign mar
kets, thus aggravating the very misery
Of which our people so bitterly COM
plain, degrading American labor and
striking at the foundations of our civ
ilization itself
The advocates of the gold standard
persistently claim that the cause Of oui
distress is overproduction; that we
have produced so much that il has
made us poor; which implies that the
true remedy is TO close the factory
abandon the farm and throw multi
tude of people out of employment, q
doctrine that leaves us disheartened
and without hope for the future.
We affirm it to be questionable that
there can be no such economic paradox
as overproduction and at the same time
tens of thousands of our fellow. citizens
remain half.clothed and half fed, and
who are piteously clamoring for the
common necessities of life.
lnasmuch as the patriotic majority
of the Chicago convention embodied in
the financial plank Of its platform the
principles enunciated by the American
bimetallic party, promulgated at Wash.
ington, d. c., January 22, 1896, and
herein reiterated. which is not only
paramount, but the only real issue in
the pending cam. aign therefore, rec.
ognizing that their nominees embody
these patriotic principles, we recon-.
mend that this convention nominal,
w. j. Bryan, of Nebraska, for presi
dent, and Arthur Sewall, Of Maine
for vice.president.

Land.

First-The true policy demands II,
the national and state legislation sb,T
be such as will ultimately ensT'
every prudent and industrious citi,s,
to secure a home, and therefore Il.
land should not be monopolized n,
speculative purposes. All lands nog

in excess Of their actual needs shouIi
by lawful means, be reclaimed by n.
government and held for actual settlsr
only, and private land MONOPOLY q,

Second-We condemn the frauds h,
which the land grants to Pacific rail
road companies have, through the con-
nivance of the interior departmep,
robbed mulJitudes of bons.fde settla,,
of their homes and miners of tbe,
claims, and we demand Legislation bv
congress which will enforce the exemp.
tion of mineral land from such grants
after, as well as before, patenting.
Third-We demand that bona fds
settlers on all public lands be granted
free homes, as provided in the national
homestead law, and that no exception
be made in the case of Indian reserys.
tions when opened for settlement, and
that all lands not now patented come
under this demand.

PURSUIT OF THE MURDERERS.
The murderers were caught In a
swamp about twelve miles south Of
this city at p. m. today in the town.
ship of Dryden, Sibley county. Imme
diately after the murder of the sheriff
on Wednesday evening an immense
force Of men began securing the coun-
try In the direction taken by the fugi-
tives. The force was swelled by armed
bands from Hutchinson, Arlington,
Green Isle, New Auburn and Gaylord,
as well as recruits frd-u the farming
districts. The entire band, numbering
nearly 400 men, followed the trail all
day through wheat fields and forests
and meadows and bogs, finally coming
on the culprits In a swamp. The pur-
suers were Informed by woman that
she had seen the two meh sneak from
a hay stack where they had been in
hiding and lose themselves in the
rushes of the bog. The swamp was
Immediately surrounded by the entire
force and demand made for surrender,
the demand being emphasized by few
cIa 70 irfinoi6a fQ fha dos
peradoes Finally the close visitations
of the flying missives aroused the men
from their hiding place. One drew his
gur. but Immediately threw his hands
high in the air, while his companion
followed his example.
They were ready to give them
selves into the hands Of the authorities
without any resistance and confessed
to being the men who did the shooting
the evening before. They gave their
names as Cingmars ,Musgrove and
Norman Hubbard, stated that their
former home was In Kentucky, that
they had followed mining for some
years They were recently thrown out
Of employment In the Northern part
Of the state and were on sort OF
hunting expedition south with the hope
Of finding employment when they
reached Iowa In hearing Glencoe
they quarrelled with a farmer over
dog fight finally assaulting him. On
leaving Glencoe they were pursued by
Sheriff Rogers and a deputy and over
taken about four miles out Of the city,
Rogers Immediately Jumped from his
rig, stating to the fugitives that they
were under arrest. Musgrove said:
"Oh. I guess not" and discharged
his winchester at the sheriff's feet
then raised it to his breast, doubtless
thinking to intimidate the sheriff.
Rogers, however, reached for his re-
volver and Immediately received the
contents of the winchester In the re-
gion of the heart. He fell. but accord
ing to the story of the murderers, he
arose and walked a short distance.
An examination Of his body showed
other wounds beside the fatal one in
the breast.

WYOMING MuRDERERs IN COURT.
Quietly Conveyed to North Branch
and Bound over for Trial

Special to the Globe.
SALTWATER, MINI, June 25.-
Without giving residents of Wyoming
the slightest intimation of what was
in the wind Sheriff Anderson, Of
Chisago county, came here Wednesday
evening and informed Sheriff Smith,
OF the fact that Arthur Johnson and
Geo. Kelly, the two desperadoes, would
be taken to North Branch yesterday
for preliminary examination. In all
probability there was no need Of this
precaution for the peaceable citizens
Of Wyoming are willing to let the law
deal with the two murderers, but
Sheriff Anderson decided to be ON the
safe side. Early this morning a trio
Of deputies arrived here and Johnson
and Kelly were told to get ready for
their trip. They did not relish a ride
through Wyoming, but were soon con-
veyed to a photograph gallery where
their pictures were taken and q few
minutes later arrived at the depot
where large crowd was In waiting
eager to catch glimpse of the pair.
At White Bear the news of their ar
rival spread like wildfire and dense
throng surrounded the waiting room
at the depot where the prisoners were
seated. When the limited arrived they
We're ushsred abroad and the crowd
was left to dispense. The prisoners con-
versed with the guards In undertones
but had little to say Of the Wyoming
tragedy. Just before the train reached
Wyoming Sheriff Anderson reached
over the seats and pulled down the
blinds In the coach, so that the prison
ers could not be seen from the outside.
There were few people on the platform
and none knew the party was aboard.
Just as the train was pulling out VIM.
Paul. brother of one of the murdered
men. rushed through the car and
caught glimpse Of the desperadoes
About half hour later the train
reached North Branch, and it being an
unusual thing for the limited to stop
there large number of men congre-
gated at the platform. The prisoners
alighted and were taken to the village
lookup and soon afterward were ar
raigned before J. H. Huber, justice of
the peace. Each said he desired to
waive examination and Mr.. Huber re-
nanded them to the Washington coun-
ty Jail without bail, there to await the
action Of the grand jury. The return
trip to Saltwater in the afternoon was
made without incident, excepting at
Wyoming, where the prisoners were
taken from the smoker into the bag
gage car, for fear Of violence on the
part Of the villagers.

No martial music of fife or drum heralded
their movements for they were on for Glen

Gov Clough had called them out in response
to urgent messages from the authorities at
Mcleod county's capital. Excitsms mt had been
running high in that community since the
shocking murder of Sheriff Rogers Wednesday
evening, and especially after the arrest OF the
murderers did 1t assume an ominous phase.
Last evening the crowds began to congregate
in such numbers about the jail where the
men were imprisoned, and SO threatening
were the murmurs Of revenge In the excited
throngs that the officials became quite exer-
