Will" But of course Dana sug
gested the designation in ridicule.
There is abundant evidence that
the Chicago platform repudiated
the brains of Democracy.
THE Speaker of the Alaba
ma House has bolted the Chicago
platform. He gives a reason that
must be sufficient in the minds of
all but anarchists-"Any man who
sets his country's welfare above
party loyalty must reject the / otch-
potch of socialism put forth as
Democracy.
Webster once declared, ma
tional credit is worth a thousand
times more than all mines of the
earth.n The immortal Daniels S
ratio of 1000 to | will of course
be pronounced a fraud by each
iemagogue who considers one
Office and sixteen business failures
near enough the proper thing.
"A man out in st. Joseph
got up the other morning and
found $3.50 in silver scattered over
his back yard. The police con
slider it the freak or necessity of d
thief, but no doubt the free silver
men in that city regard it as the
first evidence of the Bryan dump
| cart.
A branch of the Santa Fe
railroad system runs down into
Mexico from Arizona. The hands
in the two countries get the same
pay per month, but the paymastel
pays hands on this side of the RiC
Grande in American dollars, while
on the other side he purchases
Mexican dollars with half the
amount in United States money tC
pay out: The other day a China
man bought draft payable il
China for $1,000 and it cost hin
only S554 in Chicago. If sucl
cheap money straws do not poin
out lesson, surely the whole sys
tenn of philosophy was reversed a
the Chicago covention.
Industrial paralysis ant
prevalent bankruptcy have driv-
en- Chill to abandon the silver ba
sis. A statesman of that ceuntr,
admits the experiment has been
national calamity. Bolivia con
tinues to use silver as primar,
mon az, but it is a losing policy
Hon. Thomas Moonlight, minis
ter to that country, writes frient
in Kansas that misery ant
wretchedness so with cheap money
Clerks there get about SIS
month, ordinary laborers about 2.
cents day. He says there i
semi slavery in all countries OF

among laborers and farm hands.
"A man at Omaha propose
the use of lard as money, Will
one at Lexington, Kentucky, is il
the skirmish to the last ounce O
| his blood for the free and unlimit
ed coinage of copper Let th'
good work go on. Those crown
of thorns and barb wire must leav,
this part of the worst world tina
the calamity croakers have discov
cred. Let us have times so goot
that we will have to whip man t.
! get him to haul our money out in
| to the pasture and stack it. Have
the Populists thought of any ratit
at which to work off their ra,
weeds yet?
The charge of the Initiation
ist that the gold standard i
"British policy" is only a piec
of that recrimination which ha
Always Deen a part OF Democratl
campaign material. AS Ingall
once said, the opposition invari
ably camps in the rear of the Re
publican party and steals its argu
ment and worn out policy. Th
free silver aggregation will neve
make the thoughtful voters believ
that sound money in this countr,
is half so favorable to Englisl
capital as free trade is. The polit
