Republicans Must Win.

So much depends upon the success
of the republican party this fall that it
is wonder that any voter who wants
betterment of times and a continu-
alton of prosperity when we once re-
gain it, can hesitate to cast his whole
influence and lend all of his aid to
bring it about We are passing
through no ordinary times. We are
threatened with no ordinary national
aff1iction. We are confronted with a
we'll organized, we'll determined lot of
men who hope to force on to the coun-
try at their own price the product of
the silver mines of few small western
states. These men are not thoughtful
of the damage they may do to the rest
Of the country, they are inconsiderate
of the financial ills they may subject
the great mass of people to, nor do they
care for the hard times the country
would have to endure after the ex-
pertinent has been tried. Their aim is
to get their trial made once, and while
it lasts they will fill their pockets,
make their fortunes, and will be forth
fed against any troubles that may fol-
low. The rich mine owners, the silver
barons will not suffer, but the people,
the toiling masses who are not able to
save up enough to enable them to live
in comfort during the hard times, but
who when times become bad lose their
employment, and the income which
they need for their daily necessities is
shut off, these are the ones who suffer,
and continue to endure pain, dread
and the terrors of starvation until the
times change.
The wealthy man can afford to have
these experiments made because he has
enough to live on anyhow. His income
may be diminished, but the poor man, he
who has none is the one who for his
own comfort and for the comfort and
safety of those dependant upon him,
must demand that only a safe and sure
course be taken. The currency ques-
ton must be settled before business
will improve. We should settle it thor
oughly that sound, safe and staple
money is what our people want, and
that they will have no other A YER
dict for sound money next fall means a
restoration of confidence, the starting
up of idle factories, the employment of
thousands of men now idle. They will
earn money, and with money they will
buy farm produce, such as flour, eggs,
butter, cheese and other things they
need. The more employment and the
better pay they get, the more will they
buy of what the farmer raises. This
creates home market for the farmers.
A better demand for farm produce
means better prices, and soon the coun-
try will witness it's affairs in prosper
Gus condition again. A wild goose
chase after this experiment or that
cheap remedy simply prolOngs the
agony to DE gone through before we
will get financially we'll again.

A "Per capita" Conundrum,

Every true worshiper of the silver
''fetich" believes as the first article of
the free-coinage gospel that if the guam
tity Of money is doubled prices will be
twice as high. This is the essence of
the per capita argument and is consid-
cred by both silverites and f1atists to be
the sum of financial wisdom. Second
per capita" is the belief Of the cheap
money advocates that the undeniable
prosperity Of France is due to the fact
that that country has about $40 Of
money for each inhabitant. Attempts
to show that in reality the French peo-
pie are prosperous because Of their
high level of intelligence, their skill in
the industrial arts, their system Of land
holding and methods of civilization and
the great and varied natural resources
of the country have had no weight with
the one-idead silver agitators.
Since France has nearly twice as
much money per capita as the United
States, according to the believers in
the theory that the quantity of money
fixes prices, goods should be twice as
dear in France as in America. Now, it
is notorious that such is not the case.
On the contrary the products Of French
mills, factories, ETC., are sold so cheaply
that it is necessary to impose heavy
duties ON them to prevent their COM
petition with high-priced American
goods. Will some per capita f1nancier
explain why the large volume Of money
in France does not raise prices in that

IT seems practically certain that
more than nine tenths of the German
Americans will be found working and
voting for Mckinley and Hobart this
year. The German American sound
money league, composed of both re-
publicans and democrats, served no.
tice upon each individual delegate to
the Chicago convention that the Ger
man Americans would support no
platform which did NOT declare against
the independent free coinage of silver
under present circumstances. In this
notification were some interesting fig
ures gathered by the League. Of the
50l German American newspapers in
this country which discuss politics 400
are in favor of the present money
standard, 80 are for the free coinage of
silver, and 43 have not taken a definite
stand on either side. A majority of
these papers are published west of the
Allegheny mountains.

Democratic Sentiment.

Democratic Sentiment.
The Chicago Chronicle, the only
democratic daily published in Chicago,
is one of the many democratic journals
that cannot swallow Bryan and the
demo popo platform, and in it's extreme
disgust at the outcome of the Chicago
convention gives vent to the following
choice bits, which will make comfort
ing reading for the faithful:
**
After the debauch, the reaction.
Oratory and fusel oil will not elect a
ticket, though they may nominate one.
Mckinley can beat Bryan easily
enough, but there is democratic con-
vention still to be heard from.
The band wagon of today will be the
hearse Of November, and the same
statesmen will be it's occupants.
The campaign emblem should be a
silver diaper pin.
Pitchfork Tillman should recall and
profit by the historic suggestion that If
the south would raise more corn and
less hades it would be as prosperous as
the north.
Billy Bryan's asseveration that the
Coliseum ticket will sweep every state
in the union is true in the sense that
the ticket will perform the humble Of
fee of a mop in the hands of the other
fellows.
No combination of rotten borough
mining camps and "nigger- driving"
oligarchies can elect a president of
, these United States. Nor can it bull
doze the north and east. The mud
sill will defend his autonomy now as he
] did in 1861.
Platform and candidates, decided
upon after much travail, have been set
up not so much with the expectation OF
winning democratic approval as they
have been in the hope of gaining the
support of the rag, tag and bobtail of
the regulators, dollar clippers and
calamityites of Bloody Gulch and
| YaZOO.
Impudently and falsely assuming to
/ represent the most intelligent, most
energetic, most self-reliant people on
the globe, the Chicago convention
humbly asks for the American republic
place in finance and commerce at the
| feet of Costa RIGA, China and Mexico.
If men ever were reserved for de-
struction-if from the days of Belshaz
Ear and Sennacherib to those of George
III. and Jefferson Davis a supreme
power has at any time visited with
madness and blindness the creatures OF
evil whose overthrow was necessary to
human progress, the gibbering malev-
clients, Tillman and Altgeld, and all
who have followed them in their new
crusade of sectionalism, disunion, re-
pudiati0n and ruin have been under
the shadow of that awful Will.

JUST thirty-two years passed after
the democratic split in 1860 before that
party regained possession of all
branches of the government. Again
there is an irrepressible conflict in the
democracy, and again there is to be a
smash-up. How long-a quarter of a
century, a third of a century, half a
century--will the democracy be under
the ban this time? Or will the de-
mocracy disappear after this canvass
as the federalist, the national repub-
lican and the whig parties did long
ago? The events of the next few
weeks will determine.
