If there is anybody who really believes that some of the Bryan supporters threw those eggs at Carlisle they should be put in the hands of guardian or rushed off to kindergarten school. Just consider for a moment how utterly impossible for such a thing to have occurred and the followers of Carlisle who were out in numbers not able to locate the guilty party. It is too plain. If a Bryan man had thrown those eggs he would have been arrested on the spot and rushed off to prison The egg throwing was put up job, in the hope of its having the ef- feet of driving votes away from Bryan.

It Is suggested by Kentucky corre- spondent to the New York World that out of the egg incident may hatch a United States senator. The correspond ent is evidently off his base. The talk of Carlisle being sent to the senate by the republicans of the Kentucky legislature was heard in the land long before the egg throwing.

A special from Frankfort, Ky, to the New York World of October 25 says that many prominent democrats of that state are. because of the egging incident, changing over from Palmer and Buckner to Mckinley. Now that is too bad. Just to think that after leaving his official du- ties and going to Kentucky to speak for the two old political stiffs, a small thing like the throwing of few stale eggs by

We see no reason why the republicans of Kentucky should not send Carlisle to the senate if they have the power. He is entirely in line with that party, and he has nowhere else to go; the democrats don't want him.

Why They Want the Gold Standard.

Why They Want the Gold Standard
A small supply of money in cir
culation causes low prices and hard
times. This has always been so in
every period of the world, and it is
the logical result. 1t necessarily
must be so.
A large volume of money has
always caused good times and ris-
ing prices. This is logical result
also as well as a fact of history.
The direct cause of this is that
money is representative of prop
erty or wealth, and it being plenti-
full the industrial producing classes
get more of it when they sell their
produce, and more of it remains in
their possession, and as result
keeps the wealth of the country
more evenly distributed, which en-
ables the people to enjoy more com
forts. That is what is understood
to be good times and prosperity,
contentment, happiness, etc.
When money is plentiful it is not
easily cornered by the spectators
in money, but when it is scarce, as
at present, it is very readily cor
nered. That is the reason the banks
want the "gold standard" Gold
is scarce compared to the amount of
business to be conducted by
money. When money is scarce the
banks can loan much more credit,
and credit brings them large sums
of interest, and on such loans the
banks hold large lines of securities,
end when the fictitious, credit
money has enabled borrowers to
start a boom in business, the banks
refuse to extend the credit loans
and the business built on this
credit collapes, the property pledged
as security for these loans of ficti-
cious money, Immediately declines
in price, the security is sacrificed by
forced sale, and the loaners of
credit or wind money get the prop
erty often at half its value. These
are some of the principal reasons
why the bankers and other money
loaners want the gold standard
system, because it causes a scarcity
of money and these are some of the
reasons why the producing classes
should not want the gold standard
system. 1t must inevitably reduce
them to poverty. There is no other
alternative for them. The result
is as sure as that fire will burn dry
wood.

The Determination of the Western
People.

A traveller who had recently been
through Nebraska, Kansas and North
Dakota gave newspaper correspondent
the following impression he formed ofthe
situation i'll that region of county:
"He had no idea," he said, "of the
hardships these people have gone through
uncomplainingly. In the most prosper
Gus county in Nebraska there have been
over three hundred foreclosures this
month. Men have come to their doors to
talk to me, men with the seats right out
of their pants who could talk Whitney
dumb on the financial question. There
are thinkers i'll that land. They won't be
bought and tell you now, the man who
goes into those districts with doodle to
spend for this campaign does it at the
risk of his life. They are organizing
Shotgun Brigades' out there right now
and all they ask is to be told where the
money is to be sent into the State and
who is to handle it. They propose to
catch the messenger and by force of arms
relieve him of his campaign material. If
this is to be campaign of Doodle the men
in those States propose to get some of the
money. They are going to see if Wall
street sends any of its ill-gotten wealth
into the West it will never get it out
again "

Here we have what is claimed to be the
gold standard system costing us thirty
four million dollars in premiums for the
purchase of gold to maintain besides
FIVE hundred millions of debt and interest
to be paid in the future.
Who but rogue Or a fool would want
such a financial SYSTEM The one for his
own personal advantage, and the other
for his own undoing. And notwith-
standing our present forced gold standard
in order to keep gold from going out of
the country, the gold is going out every
week.
In 1873, when we commenced coming
silver under the Bland-Allison act, two
millions month, gold began to come
into the country rapidly. and when we
ceased coming silver, by the repeal of the
Sherman law, i'll 1898, gold began to go
out of the country more rapidly than
ever before.
Q.-What amount of money would be
thus Withdrawn from the country if the
silver standard should be substituted for
the gold standard
This question is altogether irrelevant,
as ''silver standard" is not contemplated,
but silver and gold legal tender money,
just as we now have but an increase in
the quantity of money. That is all the
reconciliation of silver means. More
money added to the present insufficient
volume of precisely the same kind we
have. This is what the New York
national bankers say they want, but they
want that increase to be of national bank
notes, which is not legal tender money,
and has to be endorsed by Uncle Sam to
make it go at all. We want the volume
of money increased by coming more sill
yer dollars, which are always legal tender,
and whatever amount is lacking after all
the silver is coined which is taken to the
mints, we want Uncle Sam to issue it i'll
legal tender greenbacks direct to the
people, and not in national bank notes.
There are number of other deceiving
questions and evading the-truth answers
contained in this goldbug catechisrn,
which has been republished by the Cecil
Wig for the purpose of helping mslead
and deceive the people of the county,
which have no more claim to truth and
honesty than those we have quoted, and
which would require much more space to
expose than we have at command. But
if the goldbug club that is in progress Of
organization in this town wishes to hear
the whole "catechism" ventilated, we
will appear any evening before the club
and expose its misleading and false state
ments and answer all questions bearing
OH it.

The Republican party for the
first time in its history has presented
to the people as a candidate for
President man who, while COVER
nor of Ohio increased the debt of
Ohio during his administration
twenty seven million dollars, a man
who allowed the treasury of his
state to be looted 50 that when he
went out of office this year there
was but $4,000 in the treasury
and his successor had to persuade
the treasurers of the several
counties to advance funds to carry
on the state government, a man
whose name is attached to a policy
which has created multi million
aires in the East and has ground
the producers of the country into
the depths of poverty and misery.
Despite all the cheering and loud
acclaim of delegates when Hanna's
fappet was nominated, the truly
honest republicans are ashamed of
their ticket.

Failures.

Bradstreet's and Dun report
The. returns of failures for the
past half year shows that the
country has been in panic condi-
tions. "Bradstreet's figures give
1902 failures in six months, more
than any previous six months on
record. The liabilities, $105, 535,
$50, were only two-thirds 1898,
when they were $40, 500, 222. This
sum was reached because of the
very large share Of banking failures
in 1898. For the past half year
the average failure was small. For
the last quarter Dun's returns re.
port 1895 failures, or more than in
any like quarter, except 1898, when
the number was 204 greater, but
the average failure now is for $l3,
504: In 1898 it was $37, 1884 and in
1873 $l9,73S.- In the past three
months SO2 manufacturing firms
have failed, against 651 in 1894;
but the average liabilities then
were $31, 059, against 1914, 2S9 in
1896.
The above is the chronic result
of the gold basis system which Nc
Kinley was nominate to continue.
When will the American people
have enough of it.

The worst dish of crow we ever
saw was served in the Democrat
last week, and it all happened by
the turn affairs took at Chicago,
and this is the way the Democrat
editor wades in:
'"There is no discounting the fact
that the movement has assumed
formidable proportions and if it
continues to grow from now until
November in the same ratio of
advance that it has made in the
last month, the next President will
be of the free silver persuasion.
While we cannot see the wisdom of
the course, and believe it to be a
grave financial error, it must be
admitted that there are some strong
arguments in its favor, and whether
an error or not, if it is the verdict
of the Chicago convention-and
there is scarcely doubt that it
will be-there is nothing for
Democrats to do but to accept it,
even if it is contrary to their pre-
ference.O
There's manhood and free
American independence for you in
its very shirt tail. The "advance"
hasn't been made in the "past
month";" the editor has only got
awake in that time. And he "can-
not see the wisdom of the course
and believes it to be a grave finan-
cial error" On what is such a
belief foundede On nothing save
the misleading sophistry and false
statements of the daily papers of
Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, every one of which papers
belong to the great money trust and
are edited by hireling bOhemians,
who do as the board of directors
order them or they are kicked out.
Truly, grand source from which
to draw information, and accounts
for the EDITORS belief in ga grave
financial error" where none exists.

An Educational Campaign.

The goldbug orders from headquarters
have been promulgated in an informal
way through their daily party press, that
the Mckinley campaign was of necessity
to be all educational" campaign. We
notice that in the preliminary proceed
ings of the Mckinley club, held two
weeks ago i'll this town, that "a march.
ing club is the demand of the age, and nc
doubt will be one of the leading features. y
From this fact the inference is that the
legs and feet of the members are to re.
ceive the education, while their heads or
minds are entirely neglected. And this
is all excellent policy too. The less i'll
formation they have on the goldbug
financial plank of the party, the more
easily they will be induced to vote for it.
No man but a banker or money exploiter
will vote for it if he understands it. That
is very certain.
The foot and leg exercise proposed to
drill the club in is a good idea. There
will .be lots of running from the "silver
craze" party in the near future by the
silk hat, kid glove, gold standard party,
and to educate the members heels and
not their heads is the only safe policy to
keep them in the party.
The sight of a lot of empty pocket
patch pants marching in a gold ring
bankers party club is enough to make a
poor man cry with shame for the human
race.

security ON which to borrow $40,
600 for twenty years, the money to
be loaned to the people in business,
by the banker.
Coxey's plan is to put up $50, 200
in real estate values and borrow a
similar amount more or less, for "a
years the money to be used in pay
