Senator Benjamin II. Tillman, OF
South Carolina, is booked to speak to
the free silver Democrats OF Chicago
July i at Edison Park, Chicago. The
County Democracy Marching Club
gives its annual picnic that day. The
Record says: "Vicc President II. f..
Burke and his friends have no doubt
that Senator Tillman will accept the
invitation to speak. They admit that
for some time it has been known in
the inner circle of silver men that MIR.
Iillman has been anxious to appear
before Chicago crowd. "Tillman
will draw 5000 people to tho picnic,
said Mr.. Burke. He is a great talkcr,
and he would tell the boys things about
silver that they never dreamed of be-
fore. He will be at the picnic all right
and he will make Il speech. Why, the
gold members Of the marching club
will be with him because he will make
the money just flow. into tho treasury
OF the organization. There will not
be any kicking.'"
The officials Of the pension bureau
at Washington were SO shocked short
time ago because Samuel I'ctLcrs, Il
prominent resident Of Frazer, Pa, re-
fused to receive the pension money
sent to him. that they doubted the san
lty OF the man and sent an agent to in
vcstigatc the case, with the result that
his name has been dropped from the
rolls. His case was the second which
has been met with in the history Of the
department. Fctters, while in the
army, contracted q disease which for
sewers years was thought TO be chrOn-
ic, and under that impression he re-
ccivcd liberal pension. Recently,
however, he recovered and ordered
the pension stopped, but the money
still came. Then he sent the cash back,
refusing to receive it, and the agent
was sent to investigate his strange con-
duct.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal OF the reel
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was
national calamity, and We demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as viii equallze our trade with
other nations. remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale Of Amer
lean products In the ports Of other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce. free admission for
the necessaries Of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements Of mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for US In return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.

Independence of Cuba.

From the hour Of achieving their own
independence the people OF the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles OF other American peoples
to free themselves from European DOM
inatlon. We watch with deep and abid-
ing interest the heroic battle OF the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston, and our best hopes go out for
the full success Of their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government Of Spain. having lost
control Of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives Of resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty obligationes, we believe
that the government Of the United
States should actively use It's influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

DEE REpupIArIoNIsrs UNITED.


Let no patriotic citizen imagine that
the Repudiationists Of the country will
be divided in the coming contest. They
viii be united from Maine to Callfor-
MIA and from the Northern lakes to
the Southern gulf. They will embrace
In their variegated ranks every shade
OF repudiationists, agrarians, social
lists. and anarchists. and they will
have hundreds OF thousands OF we'll
meaning voters to follow the Demo-
cratic flag. regardless OF the revolu-
tipnary principles emblazoned on it.
There is no reason to doubt that the
outcome OF both the national meetings
now assembled in St Louis will be
the nomination or endorsement Of the
Chicago ticket. In fact there can be
no other object Of the silver conven-
ton, and ii is well known that the
leaders OF the Populist organization
have already made some deal with
the Bryan managers which binds them
10 turn over the bulk Of the votes OF
that party to the Democratic candi-
date. 1t is true there is some objec-
tion TO this movement by some Of the
Southern Populists, but the convention
can doubtless be manipulated to suit
the leaders. Agreeing entirely with
the principles OF the Chicago platform.
II is difficult to see what excuse either
the silver or Populist people can find
for refusing to accept the Chicago
nominees.
But even If the st. Louis convention
should not formally nominate Bryan
and SewaH for president and vice
president. the Reputation vote of the
country will be thoroughly united on
an electoral ticket in every state Of the
Union. We do not look for any d.
vision between these three Repudia- |
tion organizations as to candidates, |
but should they present separate tick
cts they viii surely unite on an cleo
toral ticket in every state. and thus |
poll the full strength of the repudia-
tion sentiment of the country for any
candidate for president who could /
come within range Of success in the
Electoral college
The lines between the friends Of /
honest money and the maintenance Of 1
public and private credit will thus be
distinctly drawn by the united action /
of the Repudiationists at the polls /
There VIII be Democrats. Republicans |
and Populists earnestly united to over
throw the honor OF the republic, and |
this deadly assault made upon the very /
life of the nation calls for like united |
action by all patriotic citizens. regard

The question OF maintaining a sound /
financial system is absolutely para
mount to every other issue Of national /
policy. and it must be met as people |
of every faith would unite to confront
a pestilence that threatened their
homes. The Repudiationists will be
united in solid column; the patriotic
people Of the country must unite with
equal earnestness to save the honor
Of the great Republic of the world.
