Highest of all in Leavening Power-L Latest U. s. Govt Report
IL s SAa Powder
ABSOLUTELY PURE

Bryan would appoint Il Secretary Of
the Treasury who would exercise
the option of paying out either gold
or silver according to the conven-
fence of the Treasury, and when
raid was made for gold would pay in
silver and stop the raid.
He then entered into a close and
convincing argument Of the silver
question.
He spoke of the devotion of Sewall
to the cause of free silver; how he
had risen periodically above his
private interest and devoted his en-
ergies to the cause of the people.
He paid an eloquent tribute to
Bryan, and then turned his attention
to the State affairs. He urged the
election of the whole State ticket for
many reasons, and especially he
called the attentionlof those who had
free coinage nearest their hearts, 70
the fact that our two Senators were
very old and both Of them were now
sick, and that in all probability the
next Governor would be called upon
to appoint, or the Legislature to
elect, Senator, and that 1t was es-
sentially important to have a Demo-
cratic Legislature and Governor to
insure the selection of a free silver
Senator.
All of these speakers, Mr.. Enloe,
Mr.. McMillin and Mr.. Woodland,
urged the Democrats of this district
to give their support to Col. n. N.
Cox for Congress. They spoke Of
his faithfulness in the discharge of
his duties at Washington, and of his
untlinching advocacy, at all times,
of the cause of the people, and of his
tireless efforts in the House for the
restoration of silver.
They urged upon the Democrats
the necessity of voting for Cox. 1t
was either Cox or Hughes, and it
would be shame tor this glorious
old Democratic district to be repre-
sented by Republican. Aud more
than that. 1t would be useless to
elect Bryan and then tie his hands
by Republican Congress. This
district might determine the COM
plexion of Congress. There was toe
much at stake now to divide up. Cox
had been pronounced the nominee
by the voice Of the people, and he was
entitled to the support of every
Democrat, and of every man who
had the free coinage of silver to
| heart.

Mashhnrn,s AppeaI FOR Brrm.

Speaking of fusion in certain
states and the failure to fuse in 9TH
ers, Chairman Washburn of the
Populist National Committee, says:
"In al justice to Senator Jones, |
must say that from the beginning he
has been eager to remove all COM
plication and effect an equitable flu
sion in every State. He has always
shown much greater degree of
patriotism in these arrangements
than the State Committees of his
party, who We're more anxious to
make sure of their State tickets than
they were to meet POpulist Com
mittees half way in perfecting flu
sion. There will be no further
negotiations, and whether our peo-
pie and candidate We're recognized
to the extent that they should have
been or not, our committee desires
that every Populist shall prove his
patriotism in helping at the polls to
elect Bryan, just as they did in
nominating him at st Louis. This
is no time for settlement of differ
ences. Our duty Is to secure the
triumph of silver, and every Popu-
list should do his share and settle
party differences after elected"

CO.. Mnodnr.I,s sneech.

The Democratic party in Tonnes
see made no mistake in selecting
Hon. A. b. Woodland, of Fayette-
vile, to bear its flag as elector for
the State-at-Large. He was billed
to speak here last Monday and a
large crowd of earnest Maury
Comfy farmers greeted him. On
account of some unfortunate mIsun-
Outstanding about the Opera House,
the speaking took place on the
square, on the north side of the court
house, and for two hours or more,
the people stood there to listen to
the earnest, able and eloquent pre-
sentation of the questions ofthe day.
In very plain and lucid manner
he examined the financial policy of
the Government as now pursued by
Cleveland and Carlisle. There are
about 800 millions of greenbacks and
about 100 millions of Treasury notes,
said he, which were Issued in the
purchase Of silver bullion. These
obligations were redeemable in eth
er gold or silver at the option of the
Government, but Mr.. Carlisle, fol-
lowing Republican precedent had
surrendered this option to the credi-
tor. He then showed how the bond
sharks would force the Government
to issue bonds. They would gather
up about 100 million of these green
backs and Treasury notes, and pre-
sent them to Mr.. Carlisle and de-
mand gold upon them, and in their
way deplete Treasury of its gold re-
serve; and then the Government
would be compelled to issue bonds
and sell them for gold to replenish
the reserve. Under this policy the
bond sharks had forced the Govern
ment to issue within the last three
years 262 million dollars of bonds.
But since the nomination of Bryan
these bond sharks had stopped their
raids upon the Treasury, for they
knew that another bond issue would
assure Bryan's election.
He quoted from Mr.. Cleveland's
message to show that the only
remedy which the gold bugs offered
for this condition was to issue about
$500 million dollars of bonds to take
up and cancel these greenbacks and
! Treasury notes, and then let the
national banks issue notes upon
these to the face value of the bonds
thereby taking the power to issue
money from the Government and
giving it to the banks. He was OPP
posed to this. The Democratic
party was opposed TO it, and had al
ways been opposed to it,
Under this policy of Cleveland
and Carlisle the great Government
of the United States was absolutely
at the mercy of the capitalists OF
Wall Street The remedy for this
condition was in the election OF
! William ]. Bryan to the Presidency

THE hoodlums who egged Mr..
Carlisle at Covington last week,
were as lacking in manners and
good breeding as the Yale men who
insulted Mr.. Bryan. The HERALD
regrets that any friends of the peO-
ple's cause should interfere with the
right of free speech. But for the
freedom of the press and the right of
free speech, the people would have
been bound in letters long ago. So
far as Carlisle himself is concerned,
any man who so betrays his con-
stituents, deserves no better. OF
course it is proper and right for a
man to change his mind when he
thinks he has been wrong; but a
public official, when he changes, If
his constituents do not change with
him, should have the decency to re-
sign.
