The announcement that brother OF
the late President Garfield, living in
Michigan, has left the Republican
party and declared for free and unlim-
tied Popocracy is another proof that
craftsmanship doesn't always pervade
whole families.-Boston Herald.-But
in this instance the announcement is
at fault. 1t is a Populist announce
ment, and, as is usually the case with
reports from this source, utterly with
out foundation. Mr.. Garfield himself
who probably knows quite as much
about it as the Bryan manageable
clares that he has no intention of vot-
ing for free silver, but shall cast his
ballot for William Mckinley, Jr The
fact that the Populists are claiming
such sterling Republicans as Mr.. Gar

conclusively the rainbow character of
the predictions.

to bolster up his candidacy for the

Ladies and gentlemen, it will sur
prise some of you to hear that we have
been living under the old trade plank
that was drafted by John G. Calhoun
and put into the constitution of the
southern confederacy. l know that
four years ago some of the northern
Democrats were for the insertion OF a
moderate protection plank into the
Democratic platform. But Henry Wat
son of Kentucky and the wild ex-
rebel South was for free trade Just as
it was in the days of Calhoun and the
constitution of the old southern con-
federacy and the eX-rebel South is for
free silver now in addition TO free
trade.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Popocrats pretend to believe that the
establishment of free silver coinage,
would bring the price of silver to ST. 90
per ounce. it is a noticeable fact that
none of them appear to be buying sill

purpose of profiting by the anticipated
rise. 1t is evident that they either
have no faith in the truth of their as

A Complete Reiutation.

The interest manifested in the rise of
the price of wheat is not confined to the
stock markets and the bucket shops nor
is it all due to the rise in the price of
-four which is following close upon the
heels of the advance in grain. This rise
in price is of national interest at this
time. Not because wheat growing is
the principal source of profit to our
aSriculturalists, for we raise much
more corn than wheat, and our poultry
products exceed in value our wheat
products, but because the price of that
staple was said to have reached it's low
point by reason of the fall in silver
This was demonstrated to be false by
recourse to statistics covering Il period
OF two decades but the theorists AMI
demagogues, who thought to gain t.
point, took no heed of this proof ami

ly difficult task in the face Of these re-
truth home to the minds of the people
But the circumstances have done
what it was impossible to do other
wise. The shortage of the grain crop
abroad gave rise to a legitimate de-
mand for our wheat. Prices dill not
rise as quickly as if our holders of
wheat has been in a position to hold for
higher prices but they eventually came.
There remains not the slightest doubt
but that good part of this rise il not
all is due to legitimate demand. It
could not be brought about by any
syndicate of brokers'. Our wheat is
wanted abroad and is being shipped
there just as fast as vessels can be
found to transport it. Not only those
who are profiting directly by reason If
this advance but everyone within sound
of Popocrat pamphlet is noting it.
For months they have had dinned into
their ears and thrust before their eyes
assertions numberless assuring them
that silver and wheat must rise to-
gether, because they fell together, and
that we can have good prices for wheat
only when the silver mine owner gets
good prices for his bullion. Now they
see with their own eyes wheat advanc-
ing between 20 and so cents and silver

that is somewhat glossy. His speech
was as follows:

Altgeid's Argument.

Altgeld virtually acknowledges that
there is much more in this campaign
than free silver and free trade, as if
those issues weren't enough He de-
voted practically all his speech in New
York to belittling the Chicago riots and
blaming President Cleveland, Secretary
Olney and Gen. Miles for what riotine
he is willing to admit did occur
Indeed one hearing only Altgeld's side
of il, and he talked as if he didn't ex-
pect his hearers to learn anything re-
specting the other view of it, would
wonder whether there really was any
rioting in Chicago at that time. I'm
fortunately for him the newspapers
have a wide circulation and had dur
ing the Chicago riots: also very many
people read them and remember that
the reports of those papers without
regard to their politics or religion de-
scribed the condition of affairs in the
Western metropolis as something
threatening the country. the safety of
our Institutions and government.
Those same readers will remember that
Gov. Altgeld did little toward restrain
ing the spread of anarchy, that he
was suspected for good reason of SYM
pathizing with the rioters and was be-
lieved by the latter, then and since, to
have been their friend. The impress
sion at that time was quite general
that had Altgeld been so disposed he
could have crushed the riot i'm it's in
cipiency; that he did not do this is be-
yond question, whatever he may now
say; also that he flew into a terrible
passion when Federal interference was
mad IN order to protect the property
which he had neglected to protect, and
abused the Federal authorities from
the President down, for doing what it
was their manifest duty to do. Alt
geid's hearers must have remembered
what appreciation the Presidents
course won from all parties.
Now while Altgeld in that speech as
sumed the air of impartiality, as if his
sole purpose was to let the people
know what the Federal officials, the
newspapers, the courts, General Miles
and the "plutocrats" didn't want them
TO know, there were from the begin
ming to the end of it evidences of the
spirit of rancor and the desire to an
peal to and arouse feelings of resent
ment and actual hostility toward au-
thority. law and order. In order to ex
cuse himself it became necessary for
