BLAINE ON SIL TER.

JAMES G. BLAINE was one oi the greatest statesmen and orators that the Republican party has ever given to history. For twen- ty years he was the foremost Re publican of his time. His word was the gospel of his party, and to this day his name and fame are loved with deep affection and ven eration by Republicans through out the country.
 James c. Blaine was a bimet- allist. He believed in the use of both gold and silver as the money metals. Were he alive today and true to his convictions as express ed in speech in Congress in 1878, he would repudiate the pre- sent gold standard platform Of the Republican party.
 The year 1896 is the first year in the history of the United States that any political party has ever declared for the single gold standard.
 In 1892 both the Republican and Democratic National Conven- tions declared expressly for bimetallism. But in 1896 the Republican National Convention, under the dictation of Mark Hanna and the protected pluto crats of the country, repudiated the bimetallic platform of 1892 by declaring for single gold stand ard and nominating the prince of protectionists and plutocrats- Wm. McKinley-thereon.
 Were James G. Blaine alive, entertaining the views he did upon bimetalIism and reciprocity, we believe he would repudiate the St. Louis platform of the Repub- lican party. In 1878, Blaine, in the Congress of the United States, used this language:
Semi=weekly graphic., 1896-07-22

gress to declare either metal should not be money. Congress has in my judgement no power to demonetize silver any more than to demonetise gold"
 Stronger words than these from the lips of James c. Blaine could not be found for the arraignment of the present platform of the Re publican party. They should be published in every newspaper op- posed to the Republican party and recited from. every musings throughout the land during the present campaign. As brother Matthews, the bolting Republican editor of the Stuttgart Free Press expresses it, the Republican party of today is not the Republican party of Lincoln and Blaine, and it should be repudiated by the honest masses of the country.

Over thirty years ago, the need for reliable remedy for so-ca1Ied female complaints, " was recognized by Dr. R. V. Pierce, then, as now, chief consulting phy- sician to the Worlds Dispensary and Inva- lids Hotel at Buffalo, N. Y He prepared Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the most wonderfully effective remedy that has ever been used for such maladies. Its sale now exceeds the combined sales of all other medicines for women. Its effect is percep- tible almost immediately It relieves pain, allays inflammation, checks facilitating drains, and quickly subdues other distress ing symptoms. It makes the organs and their surrounding tissues strong and healthy. thereby correcting dispiacenenss spd invigorating the whole body.

HoN. J. s. BAILEY has reconsidAE cred his determination not to stand for reelection to Congress in the Fifth (Texasl District, whose card of withdrawal was published in these columns a few days ago. The people of his district in mass conventions made mighty protests, and in obedience to the wishes of his constituents MT. Bailey has decided to stand for Congress again. A meeting took place at Gainesville, Texas, last Saturday, for the purpose of persuading, if possible, MT. Bailey to continue to serve his district in Congress. The proceedings are described as fol- lows:
 Alter several speeches bylead- ing citizens, a committee of three went after MT. Bailey and escorted him to the platform. Cheer after cheer greeted his appearance, and he was completely overcome with emotion. With tears trickling down his cheeks he began his speech. Several times during his address he broke down, but the people won. MT. Bailey announced that he would again be a candi- date, and again he was cheered to the echo. A cloud has been lifted from the people of the fifth dis trict."
 Mir Bailey, although a young man, is one of the leading Demo crats of the Nation, and it is a matter of qualification to his ad- mirers throughout the country to know that MT Bailey will continue to serve in Congress.

TIE dispatches bear another instance of the fidelity and loyal ty of a dumb brute to its master. Out in Iowa the other day vic ious bull made an attack upon a farmer when the latter's dog caught the enraged animal by the throat and held the bull long enough to allow the farmer to escape. The dog lost his life but the farmer survived. And yer her 2 are some men so brutal as to kick dog at every opportunity. If some dogs were men and some men were dogs, perhaps the world would be all the better for it.

The towns of Redheld and Sherrill will be rep resented almost to man in that edition, and no doubt the other towns of the county will do like wise when visited.

GREENBACKS

-~
 opening address of his campaign at Greenville, Texas. It will be remembered that Senator Mills voted for the repeal of the pur- chasing clause of the Sherman act, and for the last few years has been considered one of the strongest
 supporters of the Administration in the United States Senate. But
 Mir. Mills is Democrat of Dem
 ocrats, and is loyal to his people
 and section under all circumstan-
 ces. Therefore. in his opening speech he planted himself squarely upon the Chicago platform and declared himself for the ticket nominated thereon-Bryan and Sewall.
 But what we desire to call espe- cial attention to IS the closing dec laration of MT. Mills, who said: "The people would be better off if there were not a dollar in Greenbacks in circulation. There should be but two monevs-the metals. "
 The people have no idea what the Greenbacks have cost them. The Greenbacks were issued dur ing the war as Government prom issory notes. Under the law they are reissued again, thereby creat- ing debt payable over and over again. Under the rulings of the Treasury department the Green backs are redeemed solely in gold, and the policy of reissuing them after redemption has created an endless chain" upon the gold re- serve. It is this that has caused the strain on the gold reserve since 1893 and caused the issuance of S25o,ooo of Government bonds in a time of peace. They are constant menace to the Treasury, and absolutely put the National Treasury at the mercy of specula- tors at any and all times.
 The law requiring Greenbacks to be reissued after redemption should be repealed and some other kind of currency substituted. After debt is once paid it should be cancelled, and after the Gov ernment has once redeemed these promissory notes they should be cancelled and retired.
 The GRAPHIC does not under take to say what kind of money should be substituted for the Greenbacks, but at least one thing is certain, and that is that as long as they are redeenable in gold and required to be reissued, so long will they be a constant men, ace to the gold reserve.
 After debt is once paid it should be cancelled. And after the Greenbacks are once redeem ed, they should be retired. This is sound business policy, and it is also sound Governmental policy. |
 q believe the struggle now go- ing on in this country and in other countries for a single gold stand ard would, if successful, pro- duce wide spread disaster in and throughout the commercial world. | Uhe destruction Of silve. and es- tablishing gold as a sole unit of value must have ruinous effect upon all forms of property except | those improvements which yield fixed return in money. It is inn possible to strike silver out of existence as money without re- suits which will prove distressing to millions and disastrous to tens of thousands. I believe gold and silver coin to be the money of the. constitution; indeed the money of the American people anterior to the constitution, which the great organic law recogized as quite in- dependent of its own existence.
