in gold and Sc, OCT ,4a0 in silver, which
doesn't look like contraction OF the
currency.
Old party politicians and sordid 6nan-
ciers are largely responsible for the pre-
sent free silver uprising. You can't
stop volcano by sitting on it.
No American dollar has ever been de-
nonetized. Any old dollar can still
travel on it's face. Trot out the dollars
OF our daddies that you had in '73.
The recent democratic convention
gave Ignatius Donnelly three cheers as
he arose to address It. Donnelly is all

doesn't belong to.
1t louked for while as if the late
democratic state convention would an
initiate the whole arithmetic, but it
finally QUOTED down after abolishing
the ''rule OF three"
Some folks thing the dollar should be
like a cork that rises and falls with the
tide. But generally the high and low
water marks are placed on stationary
objects.
The discussion of the .'crime OF '73"
occupied LA columns IN the Congress
sional Globe at that time; but just think
of the space it has occupied since. Then.
too, it was all secret and surreptitious.
C. A. Towne who told the Sixth dis
trict voters two years ago that modern
inventions were responsible stor low
prices, has now little invention of his
own to explain things. BUTT is purely
an invention.
II a man is getting $50 month un-
der present prices, and suddenly all
prices except wages are about doubled,
would mt his condition be worse than it

II the 43O. OOO,O of full legal tender
silver dollars coined in twenty three
years since 1873 could stand up beside
the s ,O45. 1898 coined in the eighty -four
years under the constitution before
1873, we should begin to understand
the magnitude OF the crime OF that Won
derful year.
To all voters who are troubled and
know not how to yotewe would say,
get all the light you can and do what
you think is right. The Lord will take
care of the result.
Under the act of 1873 till the Bland
act of 1878, the government coined
$40. 120,771 in silver. In the eighty
years before it had coined $146, $40. 900

The grand old democratic party
headed by such Jacksonian Leaders as
John Lind. Frank A.. Day, Chas. A
Tewne, Sidney M.sOwe1f, and john Day
Smith, reminds us of an Egyptian
army with British officers. The Egyp-
tians do the fighting while the officers
eat the fodder and finance the game.
People ought to be, honest evenifit il
hard work sometimes. When they
boom things forlten wears and go broke
in the final crash, they ought to own
1p and not try to lay it to some one
else. For many years before hard times
hit us our people went wild with specu-
lation. Now they are getting the bitter
drink they brewed for themselves. and
they don't like it.

cause believe with Jefferson that "the
proportion between the values of gold
and silver is mercantile problem alto

buy about thirty-one ounces OF silver,
and the ratio of 16 to would bring
only silver to our minis and thus put us
soon on an unstable silver basis. be-
Iieve in bimetallism, but see none in such
program.
