THE Courier rises up and sagely
remarks that "Hon. John Sherman
stated in a speech in the senate in
1890 that the country needed s54,-
100000 added to its circulation year.
ly to keep pace with the increase OF
wealth and population" Now we
don't know whether John Sherman
used the language attributed to him
or not, but presume he did-and
John Sherman is usually pretty near
ly right when he speaks on financial
matters. We fail to see, however,
how the statement strengthens the
Courier's idea Tor lack of ideas) on
the financial issue. According to
the Statistical Abstract of the United
States for 1895 (page Az the coin
age of the country was s5s, s,O53, ,302.60
in 1891, s4s,3 1889, ,7SO.92 in 1892, &c.,

Of the United States man whose every

and who is ever vigilant for the prutec.

Il. j. Cavanaugh, O. NJ. Vaughan,
G.. n. Hall, M. V. Meredith and NJ.
III. Pugsley were the committee on
resolutions from which the endorse
ment of Cleveland's policy emanated.
Did these gentlemen endorse Mr..
Cleveland then? If so, will they ex-
plain their sudden conversion to the
free silver faith? Did not Mr.. Cav
anaugh, as chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions, wri ite the endorse
ment and report it to the conven-
ton? If Mr.. Cavanaugh is a Grover
Cleveland democrat, how can he
expect free silver votes this fall?
In its issue of April II, replying
to the NoRTHERNER's comment on
the resolution adopted, the Courier
Eyes, the free silver Courier) remind
ed us that it was a "DEMoCRATIC,
not free silver convention" That
is what we have contended all the
time: That free silver is populism
not democracy, and the position OF
Mr.. Cavanaugh, the committee on
resolutions and the Courier, all con-
firm our judgment.
In the same issue of the Courier
above referred to-indeed, in the
same article, that renowned republi-
can club resolution is referred to as
the ''same old stereotyped financial
straddle." Now that paper is max
ing itself ridiculous in its bootless
attempts to make what it then char
acterized a "straddle" appear to-day
as full fedged 16 to silver reso-
luton.
Where are the Courier and Mr..
Cavanangh at?
The true northerner., 1896-10-21

In their speeches all over Van Bu-
ren County, Messrs. Free and Cavan-
augh are devoting half their time to
talking about the republicans of Paw
Paw and their financial resolution
last spring, and claim republicans
who endorsed that resolution are in
consistent in their support of Mr..
Mckinley and the st. Louis platform.
If they understand the English Ian
guage, they know that the resolution
they prate about never declared for
free silver at the ratio of 16 to l, or
any other ratio, and that they delib-
erately attempt to mislead their aud
itors when they so claim. When it
comes to ''hopping," it is hard to i'm
agine a more ludicrous somersault
than that of these two gentlemen in
getting from a county democracy
resolution endorsing Grover Cleve-
land and his administration onto the
Chicago platform of free silver and
anarchy. Indeed, after returning
from the Chicago convention, Mr..
Cavanaugh was for several weeks so
sour on the whole thing that it was
doubtful whether he would support
the ticket. But a nomination for
judge of probate got him back into
line and now, living in house of
thinnest glass, he is throwing stones
at the consistency of others. But,
gentlemen, if you wish to be fair and
honest, present the resolution to your
auditors for just what it is and do
not pretend it is free coinage dec
laration. We have shown conclu-
sively that it is not, time and again,
and now call attention to the words
of that illustrious democrat, Hon.
w. Bourke Cochran, elsewhere on
this page, exposing the fallacy OF
the pretense that free coinage and re-
monetization are one and the same.
The populist orators are bound to
dodge the question and surround the
facts by clouds of populistic talk and
theory, in which misrepresentation
bears the most conspicuous part.
The true northerner., 1896-10-21

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven Ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by + j. Cheney IL Co, Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on

Mr.. Bryan at Lawton.

Mr.. Bryan was at Lawton, Friday.
He only stopped five minutes, to
speak from the rear platform of the
train to the crowd of several thou
sand that had assembled to hear him,
and it is impossible to conceive of
language that could have crowded
more of sophistry into that brief space
of time than that used by him. We
do not believe his itinerary in this
part of the state has added single
vote to his strength.
He opened his speech by saying his
opponents said free coinage would
drive gold out of circulation and that
it would take Is years of steady run
ming of the mints at their present ca
pacity to coin enough silver to take
the place of the gold, which was a
true statement. Instead of showing
his auditors briefly that gold would
not 90 to premium, he said he would
build more mints. In this he tacitly
admitted, as has been his plan all
through the west, that free coinage
means cheap money, and presumed
upon his auditors in this agricultural
community being of the debtor class.
But he mistook the honest yeomanry of
old Van Buren, if he thinks that they,
even though times are hard, desire
to pay back an iota less than the
amount they have borrowed.
His nextIstrong point was that he
didn't believe the statement that this
country would become a dumping
ground for silver-that he himself
would donate land upon which to
do the dumping, and thought it would
be more profitable than agriculture;
that the silver couldn't be dumped
here because there is no silver to
dump. Let us see. Following is the
worlds production coinage value)
and the worlds coinage for the first
four years of the present decade:

CHAIRMAN Jones seems to be
somewhat of rainbow chaser him.
self. The only states that he comedies
as sure for Mckinley are Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Pennsylvania and Vermont.
Why not claim the whole thing and
make it unanimous, Mr.. Jones:
Doubtless he would claim Maine and
Vermont, were it not for the fact
that they have already repudiated
popocracy by tremendous majorities
The true northerner., 1896-10-21

and the same condition of things can
be shown for number of years past.
And then, too, all the coined silver of
free coinage countries could readily
be dumped here if it should be worth
any more here than its natural pur-
chasing power as bullion at home.
Then, as a parting climax, as the
train was pulling out of the station,
Mr.. Bryan shouted, "What we need
is more money" That is surely true.
We want all the money we can get,
so long as it is good money. But
this talk is "cheap" the present cam
paign, as statistics Of the treasury
department show that we now have
much more per capita in circulation
among the people than at the time of
the great "crime" of 1878. This talk
about contraction of the currency is
the sheerest claptrap and misrepre.
sentation, and has been largely used
in this county by the populist cam
paigners, as it was used by the pop
ulist candidate for president at Law
ton. If Mr.. Bryan does not know
that there has been large increase
in our per capita circulation in the
past 30 years, he is too unfamiliar
with government affairs to be fit for
the presidency. In order that those
of our readers who believe there has
been contraction may be set right,
we publish the following statement
of the amount of money in the Unit
ed States and also the amount in act
ual circulation in the United States,
per capita, on June l of each year for
the past 30 years. The figures for
the years up to 1896 are taken from
the Statistical Abstract for 1895, and
this years figures are as published
by the secretary of the treasury:
The true northerner., 1896-10-21

934,749 in 1898, sS9,ls4, 6 ss.77 in
1894, s66, ,l96, 1881 in 1895. So i,
will be seen that since 1890, the
amount that should annually be add
ed to our currency. according to John
Sherman and the Courier's endorse
ment of his statement, has actually
been largely exceeded. It's not more
money, but more confidence that is
needed.

Van Buren, County Democrats En-.
dorse Grover Cleveland.

The following resolution unquali-
fedly endorsing the policy of the
Cleveland administration, gold stand
ard and all, was adopted by the Van
Buren, County democratic convention,
April 0, 1896, and is strangely in
consistent with the present free
silver professions of the party:
"The democrats of Van Buren, County,
in convention assembled, believing in
the cardinal principles of the demo-
cratic party as enunciated by Thomas
jefferson, and believing that these
principles have been promulgated by

So it will be seen that it is not a
contraction of currency that has
caused these present hard times. II
any free coiner fears we are misrep-
resenting the figures, we have in our
Office the Statistical Abstract and
will be pleased to let him see the
figures for himself.
Mr.. Bryan is doubtless an esti-
mable gentleman, but his premises
and deductions are erroneous, as were
his tariff premises and deductions in
1892.
