WHETHER the stand ard is to be gold or
silver may cause discussion, but every
taxpayer is agreed that Theodore B. Gas
kill is the best Steward of the Poor House
that the county has ever had. During his
long administration there has never been
one word against his honesty or ef6cien-
cy. His expenditures are matter of
public record and the decrease in the
amounts, the saving to the taxpayers, may
easily be ascertained by comparing the
figures with those of his predecessors.

THEIR SELFISH MOTIVE.

The Salt Lake Tribune under date of
September 2Ist, 1896, furnishes convincing
evidence of the selfish motive that is back
of the free silver movement.
TIL mas G. Merrill, one of the promot-
ers ofthe campaign,jn that city, publishes
an appeal to the silver mine owners TO
make liberal contributions to the cam
paign fund. He says: Cannot the
owners of such silver-producing proper
ties as the Ontario, the Silver King, the
DAILY, the Daily West, the Mammoth,
the Centennial, Eureka, the Bullion Beck,
the Eureka Hill, the Ajax and others,
we'll afford-or rather, can they afford not
to contribute at the least the additional
profit they would receive from their own
silver product for one month to the educa-
tional work of the campaign
II appeal to Messrs. McIntire and Cum
ningham, of the Mammoth; Keith and
Kerns, of the Silver King; Chisholm and
others of the Centennial Eureka; Ryan
and Knox, of the Ajax; Packard, of the
Eureka Hill; Daily, of the Daly-West;
Beck and associates, of the Bullion-Beck;
Farnsworth and Sharp, of the Horn-Sil-
yer; and the owners of the Sioux, Ontario,
Daily and other silver mines of this State
who can afford to assist in this cause, to
figure up the average monthly silver pro-
duct from their mines and multiply the
rroducf of ono month, IL, ouucac hxy "a
cents. which is the additional price they
will receive for their product-all OF
which will be proht-and at once have
the amount contributed and placed in the
hands of the Treasurer of the bimetalic
forces to assist Mr.. Bryan in the wonder
full campaign he is making. If we can
secure the additional profits of one
months product of the Western silver
producing mines. it will insure success in
the election on November sd.
"If we cannot get this and for want Of
it fail in this election, believe the gen
tlemen to whom this appeal is made will
most sincerely regret in the coming years
their failure to render this assistance"
Here we have the foundation of the sill.
yer craze
1t is rooted among men who have silver
bullion to sell
They very naturally want the govern.
ment to enact law that will make it pos.
sible for them to have all the silver bull
lion they take to the mints converted
into money.
They are looking out for themselves.
Their motto is: Every man for him
self and the devil take the hind-most"
They do not consider for a moment the
welfare of the men and women who pop.
ulate the North, the East and the South.
They care not whether the mills are
opened.
The minis interest them
They want them thrown open to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, and
with that end in view they are contribut
ing their money, their time and theil
brains to this campaign

ONE of the most significant of the Dem
ocratic bolts from Bryan and his Chicago
platform was the voluntary retirement OF
Judges Brown and Clement, of Brooklyn,
last week, from the silver ticket. Their
reason was because they would not do
violence to their consciences so far as to
associate themselves with Organism.
Judge Brown, while absent in Europe
had been nominated by Brooklyn silver
ties for presiding judge of the Supreme
Court of his district, post of honor and
carrying salary of Sra, 900 a year.
Justice Clements, who is a staunch
Democrat, and has been fourteen years on
the bench, was also renominated.
Both individuals declare that the cir.
cumstances of the times compel them to
favor McKinley's election.
This is patriotism. This is disinterest
edness. Here are two men voluntarily
surrendering the prospect of$I2, 900 year
for fourteen years, to be earned in the
most congenial way, because they cannot
give adhesion to the denominations of the
Chicago platform While the country ha:
men to pursue this noble course, its future
| is safe

GOOD many of the men who are lead.
ing the New Jersey Democracy in this
campaign are probably no more believers
in free silver coinage than they were be.
fore the Chicago convention. Away down
in their boots many of them believe that
Mr.. Bryan's election on the platform on
which he is running would bring panic
and disaster and loss upon the country.
Some of them would be very sad if they
thought he was going to be elected. But
they that think their helping or hindering
his success will not have any effect on the
main result; and they want to maintain
their supposed regularity. Consequently,
they are able to entertain a feeling OF
pleasant responsibility in regard to their
course in the campaign.

If on the sd of November the American
people shall declare that our government
institutions shall revert back into the

what one concern is willing to do provided

ed if Bryan is elected.

than to open up the mints of the United

There was time when Senator Stewart,
before he had private reasons for being a
silverite, was outspoken in his denuncia-
ton ofa fuctuating currency. Then he
wanted the universal standard of man.
kind-gold, so that everybody could know
what dollar is worth.
This is how he talked in I874S
"But now it is a mystery; the whole
subject Of finance is mystery; and what
do we see every day? We see those who
devote their attention to it making large
fortunes out of this mystery. Let us do as
all the people of the world have been
doing from the beginning measure our
values by gold, adopt the standard that all
can understand, and get rid of this mys-
tery."
