Here is what the Western Rural, a
farm journal, says on the money
question: Advocates of the gold stand
ard are constantly referring to the silver
dollar, now authorized by law as a 30
cent dollar. 1t is part of the legal cur
rency, it is a legal tender; no man 10. day
can refuse to take it (unless be has made
gold contract beforehand) as full dol
lar in payment for merchandise or any
debt.
To be sure it contains silver bullion
worth at present market price, measured
by gold. SO cents only. The silver party
do not propose to further reduce this
amount OF silver or to make silver bull
lion worth less than So cents.
What the silver movement--embracin
honest-money men OF all parties-pro.
poses, is to make that silver dollar worth
one hundred cents-to restore our silver
dollar to the position and value it had in
1873.
Is it dishonest to make the silver
dollar which every wage Garner, is now
compelled to take and use fully equal to
the miser's or the bankers gold dollar ?
Under the present law contracts can be
made and are made by capitalists. by
railroad companies and bankers, requir-
ing payments in gold and 50 disc-sditing
the silver dollar. The Govern ment itself
discriminates against silver by paying its
own coin obligations In gold only. In
this way silver is deprecated.
At the same time the double duty put
upon gold has forced gold bullion up in
the markets of the world. Here again is
another phase of the fallacy covered up
in the expression 50-cent dollar. BY
the gold measure-a distorted standard,
shortened yardstick, weighted scaIes.
Make your measure honest and deal
honestly by your own historic silver dol
lar and it win not be in any sense So
cent dollar.
Ii is the money-lender of Earope and
America who has made and is attempt
ing to perpetuate dishonest dollar. The
new silver movement in exposing this
dishonesty will restore the honest dollar

ON she wrong side.

The Kentucky colonel had just been
rescued from watery grave in the bot.
tom of the Mississippi river.
"Where am II" he asked, feebIy as he
opened his eyes.
"Safe on Shore" replied one OF the res
cuers.
"On which side of the river?"
''The Iowa side"
For moment the news seemed to
overcome him, and he turned sorrowful-
ly toward the river.
'Just my luck to land in prohibition

Of our fathers-worth 100 cents both for
purchasing and debt-paying. 1t has
started movement which will steadily
roll around the world, to bring gold back
to it's normal position AZ q measure Of
values and restore silver as universally
accepted coin Of unlimited redemption.
A little clear thinking and exactness In
statement will sweep away the fsllacies
about the 50-cent dollar and disclose
where the dishonesty lies.

money by bringing silver to par. He can
do that in more than one way, but the
simplest and for him the most advantag.
cons will be for him to adopt international
bimetallism-most advantageous because
II will place him on an equality In inter-

The way to get international binetal-
lism 10 to begin with national bimetsl-
lism.
Look to the future. Look to the pres

farmer earns q bare subsistence. He
gets no return for his investment. The
whole system rests on the farmer. 1t lie
fountain drying at its source.
We see that every dollar in gold in the
world lie known and ticketed. We have
seen gold cornered time and again. We
have put premium on corners, and the
devilish greed Of users aud money shaw.

corner comes fresh contraction of the

For how many years has this futile and
dishonest pledge been current before the
people? One might suppose that by THU
time 1t had become 30 oiscredited that
political party would take shame to weal
the rags Of drab. 1t seems not.
There is one way, and but one, to brins
silver to par and to secure q currency
that cannot be cornered. That way is te

According to Pronetheus the largest
ship in the world is building at the vul-
can shipyard in Bredon. near Stettin,
Germany, for the Hamberg- American
line. The same builders constructed the
first large express steamer built in Ger
many, the Augusta Victoria, of the same
line. The new monster steamer has
length of 625 feet on the waterline, and
is therefore considerably larger than the
Campania, which is 800 feet in length be-
tween perpendiculars. The engines will
have $1,000 horse power and speed Of
% knots is expected. The engines and
boilers will also be furnished by the vul-
can shipyards. Construction has been
commenced already.

Sketch Of the Nominees.

William Mckinley, Jr., was born
so years ago, in Niles, Trumbull
county, Ohio. When lad of II
years, the war broke out. He
went to the front as private. He
was mustered out as major. Az
ter the war Mckinley studied law
and hung out his shingle at Can
ton, o. He became prosecuting
attorney of Stark county, and then
entered politics, He was elected
to congress and served IA years.
Gerrymandered out OF congress IN
1890, he was elected governor of
Ohio, which office he held for four
years. Major Mckinley married
Miss Ida Saxton in 1871. Mrs.
Mckinley has been an invalid for
some years, and their social life
consequently has been very quiet.
Major Mckinley lives in an unpre'
tentious house in Canton.
Garrett A. Hobart was born in
Long Branch, New Jersey, in Feb
ruary, 1874. He was educated in
the common schools and at Prince
ton college, and is a lawyer by

We are pleased to learn that
there is growing sentiment in
favor of w. H. Gallagher for the
office of state senator for this
county, and in next falls conven.
tion his name will be presented by
his Dupuyer friends for consider
alton. He has been political
leader in this precinct for some
time past, and there has been a
disposition on the part of some
"would-be's" to turn him down to
their advantage, but it will avail
them nothing. 1t is the policy of
the republican party to- reward
with honorable positions men, who
stand by their guns in time Of war,
and Mr.. Gallagher's friends will
see to it that his services to the
party in the past are not over
looked. There has never been a
victory won for the republicans in
the north end of the county unless
he has been in the front of the
fight. With w. T.. Cowgirl he
called together the first republican
primary ever held on Dupuyer
creek. Such service demands rec
ognition. In the deliberations of
a republican convention we feel
that the wishes of the voters of
this precinct should be respected
and in presenting Gallagher's
name for this place it must be ad-
mitted that our request is very
modest.
