In the recent democratic convention
held at Williams, there were at least
forty -one delegates who are federal Of.
fee holders under the present admiuls-
tration. As Sd exceptional exhibition
OF gratitude for the offices they hold
through Mr.. Cleveland, they adopted
among their resolutions the following:
"We declare that Mr.. Cleveland, in
forcing, with republican aid, the repeal
OF the law providing for the purchase
OF silver. and 10 msiuteining the single
gold standard, has destroyed business
INSTRUCTED trade an6 has deprived labor
aud capital Of the profits of production,
and ia spite OF bountiful hsrvests and
in the midst Of plenty, has Frustrated
the people in the paralysis Of hard
times, and no escape tberefrom is posi-
BILE except in democratic success. Cleve-
land, Carlisle and the rest OF the pres
ent cabinet are now array ed against US,
using every endeavor to compass the
election of Mckinley and republican
congress, ard the power for evil be is
using was given him by democratic
votes. He Is sn open enemy to the
party which elected him president"
IF the president cared to take any no.
tice of the affair. he might easily bring
into operation the rule of offensive par
tisapship.

A WASHINGTON dispatch points out

patch explains thai the great majority

the masses in every other state, it would
seem to be only reasonable to assume
that the result in Name is On index to
the result 10 the West, where the farmers

prove to be the case, and it is very
reasonable assumption, MIR. Bryan would

figures in France. Thibaudeau. in his
memoirs. speaks of sugar as selling for
500 francs per pound, soap for $50 francs,
candles for 40 francs. MERCER, in his
lifelike pictures of the French metropolis
at that period, mentions 600 francs as car
riage hire for II single drive and G,0O0
francs for an entire day. American work
ingmen should particularly note, however,
that while the price of everything was in
tiated in about the same proportion, the
wages of labor were not: they, oil the con-
trary. went down. AS manufactures had
closed. wages had fallen until all that kept
them up at all was the fact that so many
labOrers were drafted off into the army
and sent abroad to be killed. When the
final crash came, on July 16, 1796, the
whole vast issue of the French paper
money was repudiated. and the bulk of it
was then found TO be in the hands of the
working masses of the French people. In
the language of the historian Won Lybel:
1.-THE financiers and men of large means.
though they suffered terribly were shrewd
enough to put much of their property into
objects of permanent value. The work
ing classes had no such foresight or skill
or means. On them finally came the great
crushing weight, of the ioss.''
Such was the greatest, though by no
means the only object-lesson in modern
history, teaching the masses of working
people that they had nothing to gain and
everything to lose by striking down the
worlds honest and stable standard of
value and creating money on the fiat prin-
ciple.
