No Gold for Pensioners.

An old Grand Army man recently
addressed the following letter to the
New York Word:
mr. Mckinley a few weeks ago said
to some Grand Army men in Ohio that
the national debt is one of honor. and
the greatest debt the country owes was
to those who preserved 1t In the re-
beilion from destruction. He then said
we were in duty bound to pay those
who loaned money to support the war,
and those who fought to preserve the
Union to pay them in the best money
of the nation Gas, 1 suppose, meaning
gold). Now this month there will be
something over $4,000, 900 pension
money given to those who saved our
homes, and 1 ask every one of these
deserving men to demand from our
government gold, and see If they will
get it, If they do not it will show how
empty these words are.

oRAroRY AND peMAaoeIsM.
The sdperb Addresses by w. j. Bryan Con-
trasted with McKinley's Platitu'les.


Contrast the superb addresses
now being delivered by William j.
Bryan with the speeches made by
William Mckinley. The following elo-
quent words are part of the Grafton
delivered by Mr.. Bryan at Bath, Me-,
the home of Mr.. Sewall. This gem of
craftsmanship and rehetoric was de-
livered without studious preparation
and is the natural expression of great
mind filled with a sublime truth. The
Springfield Republican, gold stand
ard organ, pronounces 1t one of the
most perfect examples of American
oratory and craftsmanship: II am not
old, but 1 am old enough to have
learned that the laws of God are wiser
than the laws of man. / am old enough
to have learned that He who is infinite
In power was also infinite In love,
and that He never gave to mankind
a need without giving them the means
of satisfying it. When He gave to
man the necessity Of food, He covered
the earth with His bounties, and there
has always been enough to satisfy the
hunger of man. And when He made
water necessary for human existence
He put the veins in the earth and scat
ltIeu the llNlHS springs dlOllS llle Hlll-
side. And when He allowed WEAKNESS
to creep over the limbs, He sent sleep
to restore strength. And when He
gave man a mind capable of develop
ing, He filled the universe with His
wonders, which may well occupy the
thoughts of man.
when He gave mankind the desire
of society and fashioned the channels
af 10 CD in,
places of the mountains the gold and
silver suitable for a worlds money.
Mankind found those precious met
ais, dragged them from their secret
recesses, and for 5000 years they have
come down to us side by side, minister
ing unto the wants of man. may be in
error. If 1 am, hope I may be led
into the better way But, in my hum
BILE judgment, the man who would rob
mankind of his food and leave
appetite, the man who would corrupt
the springs and leave thirst for water,
the man who would rob one of rest
or condemn his mind to ignorance and
superstition is no more an enemy of
the race than the man who, deaf to
the entreaties of the poor, would strike
down and out of existence one of the
precious metals given by the Almighty
Himself to satisfy the needs of the
human race"
Contrast this with what Mr.. McKin-
ley is saying to the coerced workmen
who are driven to Canton. Here is a
fair sample of what the goldbug press
calls oratory and craftsmanship:
Canton, Oct. 10, 1S96.-Major McKin-
ley addressed 5000 workmen from the
shops of Grindem & Driver and created
wild enthusiasm when he said:
II believe in prosperity. believe that
the American workman is entitled to
the highest wages of any of the nations
of the earth. GWild applause.l 1 be-
lieve that good times should be re-
stored. Terrific and long continued
applausel We are the greatest people
on the face Of the earth. A voice,

tlemen, to my house and thank you

Mr. Thomas Garfield, the only brother
of the late President James A. Garfield,

country being used equally as money
and treated alike at our minis. 1 am
in favor of capital, but am opposed to

Sentiments of Judge Mcconnell.

Whether we succeed or not in this
campaign depends upon the intelli-
gence and independence of the common
people. Locally it depends most upon
the independence and courage of the
workingman. / do not recall that any
forward movement i'm civilization was
ever initiated and promoted by the
well-tO-do. A full purse always makes
the owner OF 1t satisfied with the pre-
vailing conditions. In order to keep
his purse just as full he always appeals
to the patriotism of the people. and
juggles with all the phrases of the
moral code to induce everybody else to
regard the present status as sacred.
Because he is prosperous he pins on the
American flag the awful lie of Sound
money and prosperity" and makes us
walk under 1t day after day. By
sound money" he means the present
gold standard, and by prosperity" he
means the present condition, which is
impoverishing the great body Of the
people. We are all prosperous because
he is prosperous. That is his argument,
and disagreeing with him, he distrusts
our intelligence and our patriotism.

Chicago, Sept. %, 1896"

Senator Sherman has summed up the
argument for the election of Mckinley
in one conclusive sentence. THE only
way" he says, "in which a Republican
administration can correct the evils of
the past is by increasing the revenue
by a new tariff law, and this, fear, is
not practicable" In other words, a
Republican administration cannot cor
rect the evils Of the past at ALL The
supporters of Bryan certainly offer a
more inviting prospect than that.
They at least promise the abolition of
existing evils. The Republicans, as
represented by their ablest financier,
do not even promise anything. They
say that the only thing they could do
is not practicable. Between a party
that offers to do something and one
that admits it can do nothing there
ought not to be much difficulty in maxi
ing a choice.

1T believe honestly in the great adj
vantage to this country of the free
coinage of silver. 1t does not mean
reputation of our debts at home or
abroad. These debts will have to. be
paid in products. and anything that
will raise the value of them will, 1
believe, benefit all classes. If we can
double the price of a silver rupee we
have doubled the price of the wheat
that comes into competition with our
wheat, and therefore double our wheat
as to it's debt paying capacity. The
same argument holds good of the sill
yer peso of the Latin American coun-
tries and the price of our meats and
live stock. Itholds good, too, in the silver
ruble and the price of oil. 1t holds
good in many ways too numerous to
mention.
Instead of foreigners purchasing the
product of our silver mines at the rate
of 70 cents per ounce, and with this
silver buying produce, some of which
comes in direct competition with our
productions, from South America and
the orient. they would have to pay at
the rate of $1.29 per ounce.
LAS to reputation, why, we have
practically repudiated already If bank
ruptcy means failure to pay debts.
Did you ever think of what an awful
debt America owes today? Nineteen
thousand millions of mortgaged in
debtedness. All the gold and silver in
the world would not pay one-third
of this single item of mortgage in
debtedness, and under our present
arrangement of things the awful dis
proportion between the ability to pro-
duce and the power Of money to ac-
cumulate interest makes the breach
between this country and solvency
grow wider every year. Prices go down,
money going up. Interest eating, eat
ing all the time. How can it ever be
paid? The free coinage of silver / do
not believe to be a panacea for all
our evils, but / do believe II a step
In the right direction and for the best
interest of the American people,"
[Signed.] JESSE GRANT"
We believe that in the restoration of siI-
yer to its legitimate Office as standard coin
its bullion value will be so enhanced by
the demand created by its free and unIim-
tied coinage that no difficulty will be ex-
porienced In IN sintainlng silver at n parity
with other standard money! and SO we de-
nounce as false and malicious the state
ments so frequently made by our opponents
that free coinage means dollar of less
value than one hundred cents.-Resolution
