PALMER AND RuCKNER.

The Hanna Aid Society, better
known as the ''sound money" Dem
ocracy, held national convention
at indianapolis last week and nomi-
mated John NJ. Palmer, Of Illinois,
for President, and Simon B. Buckner
of Kentucky, vice ce-President.
The object of the ''sound money"
Democrats is plain. They want
Mckinley to carry the States of
Illinois and Kentucky, and realize
that this is impossible in fair fight
between the ST. Louis and Chicago
platforms. Therefore they have
established q second so-called Demo-
cratic ticket with candidate from
each State-thus hoping to deceive
sufficient Democrats so as to give
these States to Mckinley.
But the people are not going to be
fooled this year-neither are they
for sale. they all like money-but
like liberty better The 'sound
money" Democratic platform is
identical with'Hanna splatform-ex-
cept that there is no string to it.
There is no promise to bring about
bimetallism by international agree
ment.
This is hell of q convention, "
said an indianapolis hotel clerk.
"every delegate wants a room with
bath" Such are the men who met
at Indianapolis aud declared that
sail who earn a livlihood by labor
are the peculiar and most defense
less victims of q debased and
fiuctuating currency, which offers
continued profits to the money chan
gers, at their cost. "
To make long story short, the
bankers, brokers, government Off
cials, railroad and corporation at
torneys, met ut indianapolis and
would have US believe that they put
out a ticket directly antasonistic 10
their own interests.

WHERE IS MKINlEY2

In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Me-
Kinley says: 'The Republican party
has declared in favor of an interna-
tional agreement, and, if elected
President, it will be my duty to en-
ploy all proper means to promote it. "
There now. Who can deny that
Mr.. Mckinley is a bimetallist as
we'll as a monometallist While
standing squarely upon a gold plat
form he promises to employ all
proper means" to promote the cause
of silver and bring about free coinage.
Like the convention that nomi-
mated him, he admits that the gold
standard is not a good thing, and
promises to get rid of it as soon as
possible. To read the St. Louis
platform and Mr.. McKinley's letter
of acceptance, one would think that
the only difference between the Nc
Kinleyites and the Bryanites is as
to the best method of getting rid Of
the gold standard.
The McKinleyites want to wait un-
til they can coax England into the
notion of allowing us to pay her off
on so-called Fifty cent dollar
basis-the basis upon which we con-
tracted the dcbt-while the Bryan
ties hold that our forefathers never
allowed England to dictate ourpolicy
and they II be ID if they propose
to allow it now.
How do you feel about it, reader ?

ENGLAND's FEAR.
How Damocracy's Success Will
Affect Britain.
all Americans Should
Read.

From London Financial News of March 10th.
1.-The financial situation in the
United States is very serious. The
condition of affairs in the United
States congress demands the immed-
late attention of British financers
and statesmen. The trade of the
world is now in our hands, but it will
not long remain there if the United
States goes to a bimetallic basis
with free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
"With the addition of silver to the
volume of money, everything in
America would take ON a new face;
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip of the gold standard
on the products of the world would
be loosened and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her markets
in South America, Asia and Europe,
aud American ships would not be
long in capturing the carrying trade
of the world.
British creditors must now apply
themselves quickly to the money
problem. The American people are
row thoroughly aroused and educated
on the power and use of money, and
made desperate by debt and business
depression, they are forcing free sill
yer as the main issue.
''Great Britain need fear no injury
to her trade on investments if the
Republican party can force ''protec-
tive tariff as the main issue in the
coming presidential campaign, but
if free silver dominates the American
mind and carries at the polls, it will
bring about a change in England
that will be ruinous from its sudden
ness and severity. The damage that
can be- done British manufactures by
Il protective tariffs slight compared
with the disasters that would be
entailed by change from single
| gold to Il binctalc standard.
The success of free coinage will
bring down the rate OF interest on
| money, and cause an immediate rise
in the price of all commodities.
When silver becomes primary money
the American mines will pour their
products into the mints. and new
era similar to that produced by the
ssue Of the greenbacks during the
.ival war will begin. Gold will leave

apathy and adherence to the single

IT is expected that Henry Water
son will be able to leave his Euro
pean home long enough to come over
and insist that the American people
should maintain the gold standard, so
that the purchasing power of the
dollars that he earns in the United
States, but spends in Europe, won I
decline. All the fellows who live
in Europe, but earn their money in
this country, are in favor of ''honest
money" OF course silver is good
enough for US Americans, but the
fellows who own castles in foreign
lands want dollar that will pass in
any country.

OuR gold friends tell lis that the
free coinage Of silver will only bene-
fit the silver mine owners. They tell
us that it will enable the owner OF
silver bullion to take fifty cents
worth of silver 10 the mints and have
it coined into one hundred cents-or
one dollar. In the same breath they
will tell US that in case of free coin
age we will have fifty-cent dollars.
Now. we want them to rise and -eX-
plain. Ii free coinage gives US fifty
cent dollars, then in what way is the
mine owner. or the owner of bullion
benefited Tie bullion value of the
dollar is worth more than fifty cents
On the other hand, if the success of
the silver cause will double the price
of the products of the silver mine
owners, as our gold friends claim,
then how is it possible to have fifty
cent dollars? How can silver ad-
vance without advancing the price
of the silver in silver dollar?
The news boy., 1896-09-12
EQuAL RIGHTS TO ALL.

1T Is so often asserted by the gold
advocates that ''the free coinage OF
silver will only benefit the silver
mine owners" that "the cost of min
ing silver has been greatly reduced, y
and that "thc silver mine owners can
take fifty cents worth of silver to the
mints and have it coined into dol
lar.
Such argument is very liable to de-
ccive people, and since the entire
campaign of the gold men is a cam
paign of deception, we must admit
that the above is about as good as
they have in stock.
For the sake of argument let's ad-
pit that their theory is correct, and
that the "free coinage of silver will
only benefit the silver mine owners,
is it then not equally true that the
free coinage of gold only benefits the
gold mine owners? We never hear
them say anything about this. Won
der why? Any man who has gold
bullion can take it to the United
States mints and have it coined into
money free of charge-and no ques-
tions are asked. 1t matters not
whether the cost of production was
fifty dollars per ounce, or fifty cents.
Then, since our constitution declares
that "both gold and silver shall be
money" and that Congress shall
regulate the value thereof, by what
authority-except by the little
''sneak" that John Sherman played
on the nation in 1S73-is silver de-
prived of its constitutional rights?
They tell US, as an excuse for the
fraud of 1873, that there was ar
lover production of silver" AT the
same time none Of them will deny
that silver dollar, at the time OF
its characterization, was worth three
cents more than a gold dollar. Think
of it! an "over production and at
the same time at premium. Who
ever heard of an article commanding
an unusually high price at time
when there was surplus of that ar.
ticle?
The fact remains that England
owns the gold mines of the world,
while the United States can produce
more silver than any other nation un-
der the sun. The question for US to
decide this fall is, shall we continue
the use of a money metal which we
must obtain from England, or shall
we return to money metal which
we produce ourselves, and upon which
the bulk of our indebtedness was con.
tracted? In other words. shall we
vote ourselves to be a dependent OF
independent nation?
