fact every nation in the world treats it's
silver better than the United States
and values it higher. How, then, would
We be called upon to hold up foreign
silver?
l, too, am learner. II the above is
not the true position of the coined sil-
YER Of the world I would like to know it.
II aoy nation is using 80 cent dollars
among it's own people would like to
know it. II the Mexican silver dollar
will not buy az much Of everything used
in Mexico, except gold, az the gold dol
lar would like to be shown Why.
Let us have the facts. It will not do
to say that the legal tender silver OF a
country to be good money must be
based on gold. No country does 1t.
Why, France carries 1900, 100000 of IRE
deemsble paper and makes it good
money! That is good money to nation
Of people which pays all it's debts.
Mr.. Wells further implies that all
this hoard of silver would be dumped
down at our mill (mint) to be ground
over again.
The advocates of the gold standard
have two stock arguments: One IS that
all the gold in the country, under free
coinage, would 60 out; the other, that
all the silver on earth would come to
the UnitedlStates. give Jamestowus e
popular banker credit for too much in
telligence to believe either Of these
statements, but why imply it?
Let US take France again as an illus
tration. In some respects she IS q
model country, and her people as shrewd
as any. Does anyone believe that her
SSOO,O0O,OOO of coined silver would be
laid down at our mints for recoinaRe at
a cost to her of some S3O,0OO,O00, and she
then receive back to her people at an
additional cost foreign com? The
above is true of all transatlantic silver
The coined silver of both Europe and
Asia is minted at a higher value than
ours; for this reason alone it will not
come here, besides the very potent rea'
son that 1t is always needed at home.
If it comes in exchange for our pro-
ducts, and we have the products to sell,
wherein are we harmed? This is CON-
merce, and what the American people
through reciprocity treaties and the
establishment of ocean steamship lines
have been asking for. Let us have the
worlds silver IN that way-all we can
get-and If our gold goes out, as some
claim, no one will miss it but those who
have gold interest to pay in Europe, or
gold exchanges to buy-a very small
part. take it, of the seventy millions
of us who are now in fight with pow
erty. VOTER.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE MCKIN-
LEY is not backward in expressing his
opinions on current questions. In a
speech last Friday he said: "Here in
this country we are all dependent on
each other, no matter what our occu-
patton may be. All of US want good
times, good wages, good prices, good
markets, and then we want good
money always. When we give good
days work to our employees we want
to be paid in good sound dollars worth
100 cents and no less. Now, whatever
policy will bring US back to those good
times is the one that the great major
ity of the American people are in favor
of, and will so register their votes at
the coming election, and you seem to
have made up your minds what that
policy is What I want to see in this
country is return to that prosperity
which we enjoyed for so many years.
What I want is to see idle men at
work and at American wages. And
the more men you have at work at
good American wages, the better
prices they will get for their prod
ucts.'

. THE defeat of Nate Kingsley for the
nomination Of attorney general in the
Republican state convention last
Wednesday was a piece of political
treachery and double dealing upon the
part Of the machine managers in this
state which it would be hard to beat.
1t was also matter of great surprise
to this community. 1t is another
instance of the heartlessness of ma
chine politics. Utter disregard for
honor is what hurts and we doubt
whether there was any ground what
ever for it in this case on the ground
Of political necessity. Mower county
has always been loyal and true and
today we are just as firm in our belief
in the great principles of Republican
ism as we were before the state con-
vention, but we must say that our
experience with the "machine" is a
good deal like the fellow who lost his
hand in the saw-mill.

The free coinage of silver means q
net profit to the silver barons OF nearly
$35, 100000 annually, every cent Of
which would be taken from the pock-
cts Of the people and not one cent
returned to them In any form of ben
eft or value. The free silver scheme
would reduce the buying power OF
wages one-half, bring every dollar down
to fifty cents and make life twice as
hard and poor as it now is for every
body who lives on wages, earnings,
savings or salaries. This whole free
silver boom has been started by the
great barons of the silver mines, who
would profit by it and who have been
flooding the west and the south with
their appeals to the public to help
them carry out the greatest robbery
of the people and the greatest impov-
erishment Of labor that was ever at.
tempted in free country.

The results Of the Repu blican state

THE results Of the Repu blican state
convention last week clearly reveal
the true inwardness of the alleged
candidacy of John L. Gibbs for gov
ernor. He and his friends never had
any idea that he could be nominated
for governor. 1t was shrewd move
to draw in for Clough's support GER
tain element that was bitterly hostile
to him and if Gibbs had not been
nominated for lieutenant-governor he
would have doubtless been appointed
railroad commissioner by Clough.

MRS. LEASE ABUSIVE

Mrs. Lease spoke at Slayton, Mimi,
last Thursday for two and half
hours to a large assemblage of people,
many of whom came twenty miles to
learn the truths (?) of free silver from
the lips of this much advertised lady.
We learn from the dispatches that
they went away sadly disappointed.
She abused the English aristocracy
and the Jews, roasted the preachers
for not preaching Populism, roasted
and re-roasted the editors for running
papers furnished by the gold barons
and roundly abused Queen Victoria,
who, she declared, was made Of very
ordinary mud. She made many state
ments, but produced no arguments to
su bs ia tiate them.
At the close of her speech she said
she was loaded for bear and snipe and
said she would be glad to answer any
questions asked by people in the
audience. The conductor of the sum-
mer training school asked question,
but instead of answering him she
made sarcastic reply that brought
down on him the jeers of the house,
hoping thereby to squelch him, but
he again arose and demanded an an
swer. Again she turned the laugh on
him without answering his question.
He still pressed the question, but she
completely lost her temper and heaped
on him torrent of abuse, winding up
by calling him long-eared animal of
the donkey persuasion. The other
professors asked questions but would
not be laughed down and demanded
answers, but she was unable to answer
them.
One of the Republican editors, (Jim
Ruane,) asked number of ques.
tions and refused to be laughed down
Being unable to answer the questions
she called him gold bug puppy, who
was getting his paper from the golt
ba1ons. At this the chairman called
her down and the editor stated tina,
he had never published line fur
nished by the gold barons, and il
making the statement she did, Mrs
Lease uttered an unqualified false
hood. The chairman smoothed tht
matter over and in doing SO knocked
the foundation from under the state
ments made by Mrs. Lease. Many o
the free silver people hung their head:
in shame at the abuse heaped on the
professors, and many of the most
ardent Populists had their politica
faith shaken. The questions were
pertinent, were asked in a gentlemanlJ
way and demanded a ladylike answer
She made votes for the Republicans
