Twelve years ago there was mighty
revolt from the republican party. | ask
you, lifelong democrats, did not the
democratic party gain by the infusion of
a little mugwump blood? (Applause)
The standards of both parties were ele-
waited by that revolt because the republl-
cans had nominated man whose honesty
was questioned. Now, we are going to
revolt because the platform of the Chi
cagO convention is dishonest (applause)
and, whatever may be the consequences,
we are going to nominate ticket at In
dianapOlis that we can honestly and
consclentiously support
We here reprint the interview with
Mr.. Hanna, referred to, in order to en-
phasize the difference between repub-
pubicans and this wing of the democratic
party:
You newspaper people in the East have
done us some injury. Toread the eastern
press. one would suppose that the issue
in this campaign is wholly one Of gold or
silver. Now the fact is that the great
majority Of republicans are bimetallists.
Our platform declares for himetallism,
by International agreement.
Take the farmers of the West. You
cannot find a more intelligent class of
people on the face of the earth, and they
are almost to a man bimetallists. Instead
of the democrats getting all the credit
in the West, as the friends of silver, we
shall show the people there that the re-
publican party, under proper safeguards
and restraints, have no hostility to silver.
That is bound to have an effect in the
campaign. There is no doubtin my mind
that the tendency of contemporaneous
opinion is in favor of bimetallism.
Mr.. Gladstone cannot live forever, and
other men like himswho have opposed BIZ
metallism will not always control Eng
lish opinion.
There are directors of the bank of Eng
land who are bimetallists and the finance
minister of France is bimetallist.
The tendency of scientific thought is in
that direction.
Personally | am of the opinion that
natural laws will take care of the parity
between gold and silver. The increased
production of gold will decrease its val
ue, and the disparity between it and sill
yer, in the next five or ten years, will
not be as great as it is now.
1t is very evident that the real antago
nsm to the republican financial plank
or republican principles as to finance
comes from this wing of the democratic
party and not the other. 1t is also evil
dent that this wing that Mr.. Everett
speaks for is about to nominate a candi-
date of its own and enter the contest in
earnest. 1t is the wing to which Mr..
Cleveland belongs and represents the
element in America, out
spoken for a gold standard and free
trade

RESULTS OF THE VOTING IN THE STATE,
COUNTY AND TOWN.
The republican majority at the State
election on Tuesday last was the greatest
in the history of the party. The Rut-
land Herald of Yesterday has returns
from all but five towns and says Grout's
majority will be nearer 1900 than
IS 600. The Burlington Free Press of
yesterday says:
"With three small towns to hear from,
LandgroYe in Bennington county, Sher-
burne in Rutland county and Somerset
in Windham county, Major Josiah Grout
of Derby has, according to the Free
Press returns, received 50, ,4G9 votes for
governor and DR.. j. Henry jackson of
Barre has received l4,Gl6 votes, making
Major Grout's plurality IS, ,S53. These
three towns gave Gov. Woodbury. IN
1894 80 plurality. The republican State
committees figures, with four towns
lacking, give Grout 53,490 and Jack

of 9,0l0."

A QUESTION ANSWERED.
How silver Would Get into Circulation On
der Free Coinage.

How silver Would Get into Circulation Dn-
der Free Coinage.
A correspondent asks the National
Bimetallist to explain how the silver
would get into circulation if it were
coined without limitation, and that
paper replies that the underlying
thought with those who ask this ques-
ton seems to be that inasmuch as
there is large amount of money lying
idle now there is no occasion to pro-
vide for any more. That idea carried
to its logical conclusion would also re-
qIire the minis to be closed to gold,
for it is a well-known fact that but a
very small proportion of the gold now
in the country is in actual circulation.
Hence, we might inquire, why coin
any more?' Nevertheless, a PROPOSE
ton to stop coming it would bring q
storm CT protest at once.
The fact is that whether a country
has much money or little there is al
ways some OF it lying idle. In India
and China, where the money in actual
use is very scarce. there are vast sums
boarded away. And, strange as it may
appear at first glance, it is neverthe-
less true, that where the supply of
money IS insufficient to keep pace with
the wants of trade the amount of un-
employed will be larger in proportion
than where the supply is ample
A very little intelligent thought will
disclose the reason. When the money
supply is diminishing, either ACTUALLY
or relatively. it means lower prices
for products Lower prices mean
smaller profits, no profits at all, or ac-
tual loss. Hence people having manav
will not invest in productive enter
prises- They will buy gilt edged Sc
curities. employ it in purely specula-
tive ventures in stock exchanges and
boards of trade, or IL conditions be-
come too bad they will lock it mp for
safe keeping.
These are the conditions which now
exist in the United States For many
years, ever since the characterization

INTELLIGENT EFFORT.

Farmer in America.

Upon 1t Depends the Success of Every
Farmer in America.
A farmers success surely depends
upon effort, but in reckoning the value
of his effort, the quality is of greater
Importance than the other amount.
\ little intelligent effort goes much
farther than a great deal of misdirected
effort. There are here and there rugged
sons of toll who, having wrested wealth
from the forest and field by the might
of their brawny arms, are inclined to
belittle other methods than those which
they employed, and to pooh-pooh at
what they call "newfangled notions"
but times and conditions change. and
we must change with them. The law
yer, the doctor, the preacher, the me-
chanic in every line, if he would
achieve the greatest success, studies
constantly and never fails to adopt
every good new thing he finds; would
the farmer belittle his vocation by say
ing it is so purely the work of drudgery
that there can be no improvement?
Certainly not; in hardly any other oc-
cupation of man is there such broad
field for the application of scientific
knowledge, such great opportunities
for constant and important improve.

make these Improvements his own,

Even with the most carefully pre-
pared food the greater portion digested
goes to supply heat and energy.
Because poor sheep have light feeces
is not proof that fat sheep have heavy

Good stock, crops, fertility and in

When animals are allowed to run

and especially of the digestive organs.
As an animal grows fat it consumes
less in proportion to size, digests less
that is consumed and gives less re-
turn.
Confning any farm animal in dark
quarters is injurious to it and, there
fore, more or less damaging to the
owner.
One of the reasons why many fail TO
make farming as profitable as they
might is because of lack of attention
to details.
In nearly all cases it is unwise 10

THAT MEXICAN BuGARoo.

What the Free Coinage of Silver Is Doing
| for Our Southern Neighbour.
IF free silver, as judged by its re-
suits in Mexico, is not a good thing, l
failed to discover any evidence of it,"
said Mr.. Joseph NJ Brown, traffic man
ager of the Western & Atlantic rail-
| road, recently to an Atlanta reporter
who interviewed him after his return
from three weeks trip through that
country. II travelled for thousands of
miles all over the country, and in all
| that time 1 failed to find a single man,
native or from the states, who was not
an enthusiastic free silver man"

| ton. l have returned convinced of
one thing, and that is that if free sill

this country what it has done for Mex

found that country enjoying the
greatest prosperity. Every body is sat
isfied with the financial status, bust
ness is prosperou0, the mills are all
running On full time, and the mark of
good times is manifest on all sides. 1t
seems to me that what is good for them
would be good for US There is an old
saying that what is sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander, and if free sill
yer in Mexico means universal business
prosperity, can't see why it would
not mean the same thing for the United
States.
Il have seen interviews in the pa
pers stating that under free silver
Mexico is in a bad fix; that business is
shaky, and industries languishing. 1
want to say that if such is the case, /
failed to discover any evidence what
ever of such a state of affairs, and
went all over the country. This talk
about Mexico not thriving under free
silver regime is, to use slang phrase
all rot" In the valley of Mexico alone
found cotton mills all running on
full time, and making money. If there
was any business depression, 1 failed
to see any signs of it. As came back
on the Mexican National railroad
passed an immense establishment,
which was told was a wooden mill. Il
employed 4, 500 hands, and was running
day and night That would seem to
indicate prosperity.
Everything that Mexico raises, she
raises on the silver standard, and she
sells Il to other countries on a gold
basis. Then she takes gold to the
money changers and sells it for silver,
and uses the silver in all matters of
trade at home. To that extent the
situation seems to favor the silver
standard for the reason that it circu-
Iates very much more freely than gold,
and that money matters are easier
with silver than they are with the
GOLD countries"
