Explanation.

This newspaper is a goldbug Of the most
pronounced type, and has no toleratlon with
the suggestion to give us cheap money. We
believe this silver movement is engineered
by the silver kings who have duped the sill
YER leaders, and that they want to sell their
deprecated metal at an increased price
which Increase in price must be assumed by
or charged to the treasury department at
Washington, or else the private citizen must
lose the difference in the real value and the
coin price of free silver. The silver move
ment, we believe to be nothing more nor less
than q great combine, or trust, to foist upon
the people at an eXorbitant price the product
of the silver mines. In saying this we mean
no reflection on the ignorant or honest people
who are honestly demanding a dishonest
dollar.
Every silver king in the whole country Is
whooping up the silver movement whlch mas
for its avowed purpose the disturbance %
values.
The silver men persistently seek to array
The ,n,brif,v or unprosperous people against
man who have earned or have accumulated
money, conveying the idea that the making
OF money Is a crime to which censure or op-
-orobium should attach, and against whieh
weslsh the masses should legis!ate.
Fsoun his earliest childhood this editor
! was taught to belive that industry. frugality,
and prosperity on the part Of the citizen
WAS desirable, oommendable and praise
worthy.
We are no communist, and have no sym
pathy whatever with the present silver agita-
tlon. We say this in explanation OF the color
which Is given to our paper this week by our
supplement which Is printed at nrangeourg
and in the editing of which we took no
part.
II we cannot secure sheets which are al
least neutral on the silver question we Will
discontinue their publication, as much rs we
and our readers appreciate them. This
newspaper will not be the means OF circulat'
Ing literature which is so repugnan TO our
ideas OF right and wrong.
We have poor opinion of Bryan's ability; !;
we despise the doctrine which he breaches;
and we believe his success in the coming CAIN
paign would be calamitous TO the best inter-
ests of this country.
