SWAMPED IN LOGIC.

The mythical 53-cent dollar and the
claim that the silver mine owners are
going to reap profit of Al cents on
every 412i grains of standard silver
they produce whenever the restriction
to coinage is removed, is causing some
of the republican orators to swamp
themselves in their own logic. They
find the two propositions so incom-
patible that it knocks the foundation
out from under some of their strong
est argument. Even the brainy Tom
Reed has found some difficulty in
trying to harmonize these two opposite
positions, but finds he has undertaken
an impossibility. Mr.. Reed, in speech
delivered at Brunswick last Wednes-
day, wound himself up as follows:
"In one breath, Mr.. Bryan advocates
free coinage because it would give the
debtor cheap money TO pay with, and
maintains that silver would rise to
S1.29. Now how in the world is that
to be done? But we make the same
mistake ourselves when we say the
silver mineowner is going to get
100 cent dollar and the laboring man
will get 53-cent dollar. The mistake
we make is that it will be at different
times that this will happen. 1t strikes
Inc that we should have panic caused
by the storing away of gold so severe
that we would not know what struck
us. 1t would gradually come to light
again, tempted by very high rates of
interest. The Silver mineowuer
might then get it and it would so result
in his getting dear dollar, while the
laborer would be satisfied with a cheap
dollar"
Mr.. Reed says all this will happen
at different times" but he fails to
tell when those different times will be,
or explain how many months or years
will elapse between the wage earner's
53-cent dollar and the mine owners |
l00-cent silver bullion. If Mr.. Reeds |
theory, that the mine owner will get
more for his bullion though the hiding
away of gold, is true, then is it not
rue that the ''wage earner's 53-cent
lollar" will also increase in purchas-
ng power? If the bullion in the dol
ar advances in price, its coinage into
money cannot take away from its
'alue. Our correspondent, "Pascal"
n yesterdays issue, before having
cad Mr.. Reeds diagnosis of the case,
.sked for information as to how the
wo propositions could be made to
but since Mr.. Reed so ably
ontradicted each of the statements
7hich the gold advocates hang their
opes upon, it is doubtful if the mat
or can be made clear.

OUR MIGRATORY GOLD

Ex-senator Dolph, of this state favors
the Cincinnati Times-Star with long
article giving his reasons for opposing
the free coinage proposition. One OF
the reasons Mr.. Dolph gives for his
opposition is that the "unlimited
coinage of silver by the United States
alone would Immediately stop the coin
age of gold, cause the expectation of a l
our gold bullion product, drive all our
gold coin out of circulation, and force
the immediate collection of our foreign
debts"
Before answering the honorable
gentleman's assertion that our gold
would suddenly take wings and fly
away, we would like to ask of him why
the probability of the enactment of a
free-coinage measure would deluge US
with those of our securities which the
old world pslds Does not Europe
mold vast securities against other
silyer-using countries? Are not Ar

mart of.Europe? If the deluge came
and our securities were dumped upon
US, would they be unloaded at sacri-
fice2 HCthey were, would we be the
losers? If they were not, would they
be transferred at all?
And as to our gold bullion goirg |
abroad and our gold hiding away from |
circulation, what foundation IS there |
for the supposition? Assuming that |
we have $3.50, ,0O0, 600 of gold coin, and
that it would rapidly leave the country
so soon as there was a certainty that |
our mints would be opened to silver,
kindly tell us where it would go, and
what will come in exchange for it.
You surely will not contend that. like
some chimerical thing, it will retire
from the world and disappear into
space. 1t will not soar to the distant
clouds nor return to the bosom of the
earth, whence it came. If it goes at
all, it will seek some country where its
,exchangeability for debt or for prop
erty is greater than it is with US. Its
migratory fight will be prompted by
the fact that it can perform greater
monetary duty elsewhere than here.
Its owners will not hide it away in
FAULTS for it will not earn anything so
bng as it is idle. And if it goes hence,
bmething must be given in exchange.

From all counties the report comes of

The democratic ticket was elected by
twice the majority ever before polled
in the s6ate. 1t is noteworthy fact
that at least 5000 populists deserted
Files and voted for Jones, as did a
large snumber of colored voters of
WoodsOn and Jackson counties. The

Feminine Admirers of bryan Organize fol

CHICAGO, Sept 10.-The women are
without votes, but they have voices
So undismayed by the selfishness oi
several millions of men who want all
the votes, they make use of their
voices and influence to guide the
ballots of some of those sovereigns to
Mr.. Bryan and free silver. This is
what the WOman's National Silver
league will undertake as soon as its
members can settle on the details of a
permanent organization. 1t is not
exactly married woman's league,
although they predominate, and will
be held to strict account for one silver
vote each, for the work will go further
and reach men in crowds.
In few days, if the contemplated
permanent organization turns out all
right, whosoever will may hear as
much free-silver talk in five minutes
as he can digest in day. The women
themselves will be heard on the abb
sorbing question, and men, married
men in particular, will dispute them at
their peril.
1t is the purpose OF the women to go
into the campaign of education with a
number OF open debating-rooms, where
all men may stop and listen and not
be asked if their wives know trey are
out. These rooms will be in the down
town district, and will be open from
noon till midnight. The work will be
through the country, how
aver, before the campaign is over.

PENSIONS.

"No nation can afford to be unjust to
its defenders. The care of those who
have suffered injury in the military
and naval service of the country is a
sacred duty. A nation which, like the
United States, relies upon voluntary
service rather than upon large stand
ing army, adds to its own security
when IL makes generous provision for
those who have risked their lives in
its defense and those who are depend
ent upon them.
THE PRODUCERS OF WEALTH.
Labor creates capital. Until wealth
is produced by the application of brain
and muscle to the resources of this
country there is nothing to divide
among the non-producing classes of
society. Since the producers of wealth
create the nations prosperity in time
of peace, and defend the nations flag
in time of peril, their interests ought
at all times to be considered ty those
who stand in official positions. The
democratic party has ever found its
voting strength among those who are
proud to be known as the common
people, and it pledges itself to propose
and enact such legislation as is neces-
sary to protect the masses in the free
of every political right and in
the enjoyment of their just share of
the rewards of their labor.

features of his letter were as follows:

constitution in the chief executive Of

huence which he can yield for the
benefit or injury of the people, that I
wish to enter the Office, if elected, free

desire to prove worthy the confidence
of my country. Human judgment Is

age of the Office to advance any per-
sonal ambition, 1 hereby announce

ECONOMY.
"Silce governments exist Tor the
protection of the rights of tho people,
and not their exspoliation, no expendi-
ture can be justified unless that ex-
penditure is necessary for the honest,
economical and efficient administra-
tion of the government. In determin-
ing what appropriations are necessary,
the interest of those who pay taxes
should be consulted, rather than the
wishes of those who receive or dis
burse public moneys.
BOND ISSUES.
San increase in the bonded debt of
the Unitnd States at this time is en-
tirely without excuse. The issue of
interest bearing bonds within the last
few years has been defended ON the
ground that they were necessary to
secure gold with which to redeem
United States notes and treasury notes,
but this necessity has begn imaginary
rather than real. Instead of exercising
the legal right vested in the United
States to redeem fits coin in either
gold or silver, the|executive branch of
the government mas followed prece-
