The great guns Of the modern ship

1t seems that Lincoln, then surveyor,

years afterward the property owners

A committee was sent to Springfield
to consult the distinguished surveyor,
but he failed to recall anything that
would give them aid and could only re-
fer them to the record. The dispute,
therefore, went into the courts.
Late one autumn, while the trial was
pending, an old Irishman named Ma

In 1884 Congress adopted the plan
of a national coinage presented by
Thomas Jefferson, the apostle of lib
'erty and father Of the Democratic
party. The first money coined by
authority of the United States was
copper cents in 1893. In 1894 silver
dollars were coined and in 1895 gold
en- eagles. The ratio was 154 to l..
The same act that authorized the
coinage of silver dollars and gold
eagles declared the dollar to be the
unit of value of federal money.
This is history. And yet there are
advocates of the single gold stand
ard who assert that the Democrats
who favor free coinage of silver and
gold on equal terms at 16 to 1 are
violating the traditions an preced-
ents of the the fathers of the party.
1t is principal, not principles, that ac-
tuates single gold standard advocates,
whether they be Democrts or Repub-
licans.

SIXTEEN TO ONE CAR
RIES OHIO.
The Democratic State Convention
Almost Unanimous for The
White Metal.
SILVER PLATFORM ADOPTED
And a Silver Ticket Nominated.

The Democratic State Convention
at Columbus last week was most
remarkable gathering, aud the one
great principle for which the people
are battling--the restoration of the
silver dollar--permeated every move
ment of the body, with a unanimity
which was astonishing, as it was un.
usual in a political gathering of this
kind.
The solution for all this is, the
Democratic party has heard the cry
of distress from the people, and being
the party of the people, it comes to
the rescue, with a determination to
do its utmost to right a great wrong
which was committed in 1S73--that
of the demonetization of silver.
With that purpose in view none
but pronounced silver advocates were
placed on guard or duty, and a plat
form adopted which deals only with
the money question.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
Delegates at large to the Chicago
convention-John R. Mclean, Allen
w. Thurman, L. E. Holden, E. B.
Finley.
Alternates at large-W. E. Decker,
G. L. p. Hopple, P. H. Degnan, John
w. Conwell.
Electors at large-T. E. Powell and
Charles s. Fleichheimer.
Secretary of state-Chilton A.
White.
Judge of the supreme court-E. J.
Blandiu.
Dairy and food commissioner-Pat-
rick McKeown. vaio
'b Member board public workseAVil-
liam Beaumont. q Tsylis syoi
The ticket throughout is a most ex-
cellent one, and if not elected it will
give the Republican candidates hard
rub.
The platform reads as follws:
We, the Democrats of Ohio in con-
vention assembled, hold that the
money question is the vital and par
issue now before the people
of this country, and that its early and
correct settlement is necessary to the
revival of business and the return of
therefore,
Resolved, That we are all unalter-
ably opposed to the single gold stand
ard, and demand an immediate return
to the constitutional money of gold
and silver by the restoration by this
Government, independent of other
nations, of the unrestricted coinage
Of both silver and gold into standard
money at the ratio of 16 to /, and on
the terms of exact equality existing
prior to 1873; such silver coin to be a
'ull legal tender, equally with gold
coin, for all debts and dues, public
and private.

EDS. NoRTHwEsT:-I beg leave of q small
space in your paper to give vent to my feel
ings, and hope some one will be benefited
There are but very few people in the U. 81
but what admit that there is a depressed con-
dition of all business is this country except
in high taxes and salaries. Our wise men
have been pretending to be in search of the
cause but cannot locate it. This appears to
be strange to me when this nation prospered
as no other ever did for OF years on O. silver
money basis. The unit of value or the meas
ure of value was 4121a grains of silver in one
dollar, legal te nder for all debts until Feb
urary 12th, 1873, when stealthily and corrupty
the unit of value was taken from silver and
placed on gold at the request of English bond
holders. For proof will cite you to the Con-
gressional Record of April 9th, 1872, page 2os9,
which reads as follows: Ernest Seyd Of
London, millionaire, is here. He has given
great attention to mint and coinage. After
reading the bill he made some very sensible
suggestions which the committee adopted
and embodied in the BILL" In the Bankers
Magazine of August, 1873, it reads as follows:
In 1872, silver being demonetized in France,
England and Holland, a capital of $780, 200
was raised and Ernest Seyd was sent to the
o. s. by English bond-holders to procure the
demonetization of silver, which was done by
the salary grab Congress" Now the question
is what will bring prosperity. Our Congress is
like the hog in the potato patch. trying to get
out by makinga dash at every other place ex-
cept where he got in. Mr.. Hog, there is no
other place to get out except where you came
in, and that is by free trade on what we can
not produce, q reasonable duty on what we
can produce, the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver at ratio of 16 to with gold and
legal tender for all debts, and a duty of so per
cent. on foreign silver. But the free coinage
Of silver shall only include that which is pro-
duced from mines owned by citizens of the
u s. and the labor performed by U. s. citi-
zens, andif any foreign bullion be offered for
coinage it should be conf1scated and applied
on the national debt.
Will some one tell us how we can pay the
U. s. debt on gold basis when we don't pro-
duce enough gold to pay the interest. We
will try tariff We import $4,000 worth of
goods at 10 per cent duty-$1, 600 drops in the
treasury in gold. $4,000 goes to Europe. That
wont work. We will try export, which is
mostly agricultural products, then Bro.
Farmer England will pay us no more for our
stuff than they can get it from other cheap
labor countries for, where day labor receives

FREE coinage of silver does not
mean the purchase of silver by the
government. The silver advocates
are opposed to any purchase Of sill
yer, because that makes it COM
modify. The government does not
puchase gold for coinage. 1t simply
coins it for such owners of gold bull
lion as bring it to the mints. That
is just what the friends of silver
want done with silver bullion, and
that is just what free coinage means.
Previous to 1878, gold and silver
where so coined at our mints, and
there was never any trouble with
our gold and silver money. 1t is
only under the ruinous policy adopt
ed by the Republican party in 1878,
by which silver was outlawed as a
money metal, that the present de-
probation in all values, except gold,
has been brought about to the injury
and ruin of all productive industries.

Judge Meekison's Nomination.

All Henry county rejoices over the
selection Of Judge Meekison as q
candidate for Congress, by the Dem
ocrats OF the 5th district in conven-
tion assembled in this city on Mon
day. That no better selection could
have been made is admitted by all,
as Judge Meekison comes nearer the
people than is usually found in per-
sons selected for the Congressional
race.
Judge Meekison is in full accord
with his party in Ohio, and believes
the free coinage of silver to be right
and just, and that this country
demands the restoration of the silver
dollar SO that its industries, and es-
pecially that of agriculture, may be
revived, and instead of the products
of the farmer going begging, and
manufactures curtailed, the demand
for them will be increased and prices
strengthened.
Mr.. Meekison stands high in the
estimation of the citizens of his home
county, consequently his vote in this
county will be large, and if the bal
ance of the 5th district could become
to know his worth as we'll as his home
county does, his majority in the dis
trict would be overwhelming.

OUR average standard of living is
higher than in any other country; we
therefore need more money per capi,
ta than any other nation, and we
have it-$24 against England's $19.
Other countries have much less.-A.
Black in Toledo Commercial.
Mr.. Black speaks truly when he
says that this nation needs more
money per capita than any other ma
ton, but tells an untruth when he
says we have it.
The United States has a per capita
of $25.07, while France has $36. TO-
while Belgium and the Netherlands
have a somewhat larger per capita
circulation than the United States.
Give us the free coinage of silver and
our per capita circulation will be
about equal with that of France,
while it would do no harm to be
much larger.

IF proof is wanted to convince the
most skeptical that Mckinley is the
candidate of the millionaires, the
fact that nine millionaires will have
places upon the republican national
executive committee is sufficient. 1t
was the millionaires who forced the

standard. Why? 1t was for their in

vote against Mckinley and the gold
