The Herald "Discusses" Coun-

without authority of law, paid the

other funds in his hands, thus
"overdrawlng" the revenue fund.
As long as there were orders to
pay, the county treasurer arbi-
trarily takes money from other
funds to pay revenue orders, he is
acting outside the legal authority,
and makes the ''oyerdraft" what.

of the oyerdraf5 does not indicate
the condition Of the county, and
there is no sense in comparing the
overdrafts of two years. Any
voter can see the foolishneSs of
such comparison, and a paper
that will make it is not helping
the cause. The Democrats have

"WOrkingmen Without any
Work.

Y On Jan. Is, 1892, VIM. J. Bryan
introduced a bill in congress re.
moving the protective duty on
lumb,r. He voted for the present
law that places lumber on the free
list, AID closes mills in the United
States. Now he tells tn" voters Of
lumber towns that Wear Mckinley
badges that they are "yold men
without any gold.' These men
would stand a graf deal better
chance of having gold if Canadian

100000 feet wa not shipped in
under his free trade law. Give the

tariff law on lumber, and tn, saw
mill employees will havc consider
able mole money. When tn, mills
do not run, the D,cn cannot earn
wages. When Canadian lumb"r
supplies the American demand,
American mills must shut down.
No wonder Mr.. Bryan does not
want to talk tie tariff issue in
MINI ,sota. While this Popocrat
candidate for pcside:st Saw ''gold
men without y goll,' he also
saw workingmen without any
work. But it was all a good joke
to this grimacing destroyer Of
American enterprises II made
Mr.. Bryan laugh to think of it.
1t was so funny! But the thous.
ands of men-in the Mississippi
valley who have spent idle months
near idle mills have had lots Of
time to search for the bumor in
the situation, and If Bryan is
elected they will hav. ample leisure
in the future to consider his glib
j.sts about their restitution. Free
trade has done much to make the |
situation funny to Mr.. Bryan, but
free silver would do much more.

PRICE OF SILVER.
REASONS WHY 1T WOULD NOT RISE
TO S1.29 AN OUNCE IN GOLD.

BEyan's Opinion Versus All Historical
Facts -He Admits That a Panic Would
Usher In His Millcnnium-As Price of
Silver Would Not Co Up, the Panic
Would Be Unparalleled.
Mr.. Bryan says he does not believe
the silver dollar would depreciate to 81
cents or at I'LL, but would continue to
be worth 100 cents in gold, as now. Is
this view sound?
IF the silver dollar under free coinage
IL to. remain worth 100 cents in gold,
it is apparent that silver bullion must
become worth $1.29 an ounce, for If
worth less bullion holders would coin it
for the profit, and this process would
continue until no profit remained-that
is, until the value of the silver dollar
was just the same as the value Of the
bullion in it.
To do this it is necessary to raise the
value of the worlds stock of silver,
which exceeds "a, ZOO, 900, 900, from 65
cents, its present price. to $1.29 an
ounce.
Mr.. Bryan admits this. In his speech
Of acceptance he said, "We contend
that free and unlimited coinage by the
United States alone will raise the bullion
value of silver to it's coinage value, and
thus make silver bullion worth $1.29
per ounce in gold throughout the
world"
The question, therefore, is, would the
demand in the United States for silver
dollars over and above the present stock
of 437, 900, 900 of them be sufficient to
double the value of the worlds stock of
silver?
Mr.. Bryan says it will, but admits he
can't prove it, adding, 'Neither can you
prove that it WON'T" In Brooklyn, on
Sept "a, he said: "You cannot prove
by mathematics that we can maintain q
parity. Neither can you prove that we
cannot
The United States has had some ex-
perience in trying to raise the price Of
the worlds stock of coin above its mar
ket value.
In 1860 the bullion in silver dollar
was worth $1.03 in gold, and the gold
dollar, measured by silver, was depre-
ciated 8 per cent. Our minis were open
to the free coinage of gold US we'll as
of silver. Did that raise the price Of
gold to par with silver? Not at all. AL
though the worlds stock Of gold is
much smaller than its stock Of silver,
and although it was only necessary to
raise it 8 per cent, we could not accom-.
plish it.
This lasted from 1884 to 1860 and
down to 1878. The price of gold bullion
was not raised, and, being the cheaper
currency, it drove the silver out of cir
oulation. As no silver had been in cir
oulation for over IS years, in 1878, aft
or full debate, this coin was omitted
from our coinage list.

the only intimidation they are under
Is their own sense of shame. They are

that fear is healthy indication. 1t

That is the only Intimidation" there
is in this campaign; but unquestion-
ably, it is hard to- bear. Cowardly re-
pudiationists cannot stand it, and
hence there may be few Instances
where they resort to the sneaking n.y.
pocrisy of pretending to he on the side

Gold IL the Worlds Standard.


"Whoever campers with established
standards, hampers with the very mar
row and vitality Of public faith. AS
now, by facility Of intercourse, all the
world is one open market, the need Of
one and the same standard Of money,
uniform, universal and unalterab1e,
becomes imperious. Gold is the
worlds standard. Gold is the univer-
sal measure Of value. In the court Of
the commercial worlds conscience we
shall be convicted of endeavoring to
cheat men who have come to our res
cue in the dark days. This congress
would not have existed, nor any gov
erument Of the United States, but for
the strength given to our armies by
foreign capitalists; and now to return
their aid by base treachery is to de-
serve an infamy as deep as the low
est depths of hell. But woe to these

are attempting to undermine the in

STAPLES Is All RiHht.

There are few-very few-papers
in Minnesota that pretend to believe in
free silver and Bryan. Each and every
one Of these sheets has copied the
statement sent the Penny Press from
this city, by an irresponsible party,
that Hon. Isaac Staples had declared
for free silver. Mr.. Staples has au-
thOrized the statement to Cashier Da-
Wis, Of the Lumberman's bank, of which
Mr.. Staples is president, that it, is
lie, pure and simple, and that no man
had or has any authority to make such
a statement as coming from him. But
it is hard work to overtake lie, as
truth with leaden heel, Is slow of
foot, but gets there after a while. Mr..
Staples does not believe in free silver,
but in honest money, first, last and all
the time.-Stillwate Gazette.

TAX ATTACHMENTS.

The Herald closes its bungled
article on county finances by
referring to the tax Attachments
recommended by the county board,
and gives list Of ATTACHMENTS. 1t
does not give the descriptions for
lack of space. If the descrip-
tions had tbeen given, the voters
could have seen that the lands
were located almost entirely in
the old pine slashlngs in the east
ern border of the county. The
land was assessed for a fair valua'
tion years ago VIII en- it was covered
with pine timber. The pine has
been cut for years, vet the assess
ment remained the same. When
the owners removed the pine
timber, they had taken all the
value there was IN the property,
according to their views. They
then stopped laying taxes, and the
taxes piled up year after year, the
assessment remaining the same as
when the land was covered with
valuable. pine. The taxes and
penalties and interest had finally
reached all amount that was abso.
lutely several times larger than the
value of the land. If the owner
would take the matter into court,
and produce testimony as to the
actual value of the land, the court
would be compelled to reduce the
taxes, as the assessment was much
too high for the real value. The
county tried just such a case with
J. W. Day, and he had his taxes
reduced. In the cases given by
the Herald the board of county
commissioners investigated the
matters carefully and concluded it
was for the best interests of the
county to recommend the abate.
ments. By doing so they collected
money that would not otherwise
be paid, and the lands came into
possession of men who will here.
after pay taxes, and, if possible,
place settlers on the land.
No attachments were made on
lands that would in any probability
sell for the taxes even. The board
would certainly not make abate-
ments on land that had been
intelligently assessed, or upon
which the taxes would be paid.
Many people applied for abate-
ments that were not entitled to
any, and were refused. H. S.
Clyde wanted an abatement on his
Swan River farm, upon which he
had not paid taxes for years, but
the board very rightly refused his
request.
1t is the judgment of every man
who has investigated tho snhioct
that the county did wisely in
getting something out Of the old
pine lands that had contributed
nothing to the county in the way
of taxes since the pine had been
cut of-from five to twenty years
ago.

BOWLER'S VENOM.

Dastardly and Insulting Attack
on the Old Soldiers.
One of the most venomous attacks
upon the old soldiers ever made in this
city. was that of j. M. Bowler, tho
Popocratic candidate for lieutenant
governor, Saturday night. We pre-
sumo he recognized the effect of such
veterans as Sickles, Howard. Alger
and Tanner going through the country
and appealing to the old soldiers, to
stand firm for the country's honor and
integrity as they did from 1861 to 1865,
and especially the effect of Gen. Sick
les, Democrat, rising above all part
isanship, as he Gid thirty-tive years
ago. Bowlers attack upon him was
bitter to the extreme, and one would
hardly suppose that Sicl>les was the
same man whom Democracy was laud-
ing a few years ago for his patriotism
in remaining true to Democracy, al
though he disliked some Of it's features
at that time. But Bowler was not
contented with his attack upon these
brave generals, who, in the evening OF
their lives. have sacrificed comfort In
behalf of their country's honor, but he
must make bitter attack upon the
privates, and accused them of falling
into a preconcerted movement for Nc
kinley in the G. A. Il. parade at St.
Paul during the encampment. A more
false and insulting statement could
hardly be uttered, and it is one which
will be righteously resented by the old
boys in blue everywhere. The Popu-
lists have done everything posi- lie to
catch the old soldier vote, but all in
vain. Tie veterans who marched
through blood and faced shot and shell
on many battle field to preserve their
country from disruption. are not now,
as the shadows of evening are falling
about their lives, ready to take up the
banner Of Reputation that the Altgeld-
Tillman anarchist crowd may triumph
and that the silver barons may profit
at the expense Of the masses; and
hence the screeching of the Bowlers,
who grow desperate as they observe
the spoils of Office they long for and
want merely for the spoils themselves,
slipping from their grasp.-Mankato
