termined to contract the 'circulat-
ing medium and demonetize one Of
the coins of commerce, limit the
volume Of the money among the
people, make money scarce, and
therefore dear. He would have in
creased the value Of money and
diminished the value of everything
else, make money tie master, every
thing else the servant. He was
not thinking Of "the poor" then.
He had "their side" and he was
not standing forth in their de-
fense." Cheap coats, cheap labor
and cheap money-the sponsor and
promoter of those protesting to
stand guard over the welfare Of the
poor and lowly. Was there ever
more inconsistency or reckless as
sumption?"
Referring to the language used
by the republican nominee in his
Toledo speech, Major Mckinley
plants himself squarely upon the
platform which is now occupied by
his opponents. No advocate Of bi-
metallism at the present time could
state his cause with greater earnest
ness than that which pervades the
logic Of Major Mckinley in denounc-
ing Mr., Cleveland's opposition to
silver.
At the time this speech was de-
Ii7ered Major Mckinley was in the
prime of life and in the full posses
sion Of his vigorous powers Of in
tellect. What he said on that oc-
cosion was the product of mature
deliberation and was furthermore
augmented by his long career in
congress, during which time he had
been a Jealous friend Of the white
metal.
Major Mckinley was doubtless
as familiar with the money question
then as he is now. To the students
ofmonetary science nothing Of any
serioHs consequence has been dis
covered within the last few years
sufficient to bring abouta radical
change of opinion; and if Major Nc
Kinley was honest in advocating
the cause of silver six years ago he
can hardly be honest either with
himself or the people in opposing
it now.
To explain the matter fully, and
yet at the same time in the briefest
possible compass, Major Mckinley
never dreamed until few months
ago Of becoming the candidate of
ofthe gold syndicate for president
and of going before the people Of
the country on the money question.
Though he had frequently INDUCED
in building political air castles, and
often journeyed to the white house
in his feverish dreams, it was always
as the champion Of protection that
he fancied himself thus honored.
So when he ventured to deliver
his speech in Toledo, he thought it
perfectly safe for him to express
his views on the money question.
1t would show his versatility of
thought and would furthermore
prove to his hearers that he was
fully competent to address himself
to any issue which might arise. At
that time the supreme issue before
the people was the tariff, and the
shrewd major never dreamed that
in showing versatile powers he was
only forging the blades which were
doomed to.destroy him. That he
would be called.upon to represent
any other issue save that ofprotec
tion never once occurred to his fertile

Tho Political situation.


It's February weather and very
dull for business or local politics.
Nothing is said about town offices
and their possible occupants, outside
of the Clerk and Treasurer, and but
little in that connection, consequent
Iy the outlook is shrouded in blank
uncertainty.
In connection with the location of
such an office, Mr.. Fleetwood has
already said that should he be elected
he would open an office by himself on
the ground floor. Mr.. Niles also says
the same and Mr.. Harris undoubted-
ly would do likewise. Mr.. Niles
emphasiz ID his position by saying
81 would fit up an office that the
citizens would be satisfied with, and
don't you forget it,"
Mr.. Harris, according to his state
ment was unaware OF his being
candidate before the people until his
father, Seymour Harms, had put him
forward as such, and had done a deal
of Canvassing among the voters, but
Carroll is now in the race for business
and his father, who is conducting his
canvass, and putting a considerable
amount of work into it, claims to
hold in his inside pocket little book
where are entered names of snags OF
men who have promised support.
Mr.. Niles is keeping up the race at
a moderate te clip with several who are
doing a yoke fellow work with and
for him, and there are those who
think that with Mr.. Burke not a can
didate the heat and clash of the bat
tie waged by Mr.. Niles in the past
will be entirely forgotten and he will

Mr. Fleetwood on the contrary ie

the outset. lie Ioald tecept a.
appreciate the support OF friends and
the honOrs OF the two offices, but he
is loath to make personal canvass
and seeking for it. His many friends
are pleased with his position in the
matter, and from the assurance
given by those leaning his way, his
friends feel confident that he will ear
ry the day.
II beside this contest town meeting
lacks in interest, it will not be Mr.
Brigham's fault, for he will he pre-.
pared to give full and complete
discussion OF poor farm matters, SC
voters better carry their dinner.
So here we have the situation

the third said to be democrat
though we can not vouch for that
At any rate party politics never are

The question then is, who will do tht
best service?
