BALTIMORE, Sept. 20, 1896.
This is campaign Of oil sorts Of
elements arrayed agains: the peo
pie.
The true Democracy that pro-
! nounced n platform and nominated
ticket at Chicago, did its work in
scrupulous conformity to the will
Of the people.
The man who was the nominee
of the party for the Presidency is of
the people and for the people. and
is proving his faith and his devot-
ion by employing his best mental
and physical gifts in behalf of the
people.
The Democratic party is not .
party to stand still and rust, and
vanish from existence. The source
that infused life into it meant that
it should live forever.
There are principles that will
never die, because they are built
upon the eternal truth, and it is
such principles upon which the
Democratic party is built, and that
makes it indestructible.
Parties may come and parties
60, but the Democratic party has
lived for nearly one hundred years,
and its vitality increases with its
age.
1t is the people who are in the
front, in the middle and in the rear
in the great crisis now confronting
the country, and they are crying
ont TO those not in tbs ranks 20
"fall in. !"
Why?
Because again q great question
looms up that concerns every hu-
man being on American soil, no
matter what his condition in life.
England by force of arms tried
to compel this country to monarch
ical allegiance, and was vanquished
both times.
What has England been doing
ever since.
To get us in her financial clutches
and rule US in way that will
eventually make our Declaration Of
Independence an absurdity.
There is no man keeping the run
Of the times, but can see even
with half an eye that English inter-
ests are becoming stronger and
stronger in this country every day.
Can there be named great trust
or syndicate that is not either di-
rectly or indirectly headed and con-
trolled by British gold barons,
through their representatives here.
Bat it will be said: "We must
get help from somewhere, or we
cannot develop great enterprises,
and keep the wheels Of progress
moving, and why object to this help
coming from England!"
Must we sacrifice body and soul
that we may live. Shall we sur.
render control Of our American en-
terprises into the hands Of merci-
less foreign spectators, and must
we fall back upon the money Of
British capitalists and Shylocks,
that the credit of our Government
shall be sustained? ?
Would it not be wiser to keep on
the track at Q slower pace, and de-
pend more upon our oWn resources
for our position among the nations
of the world
/ assert it upon the fullest accu-
mutation of proofs that England 10
at the bottom Of this whole move
ment favoring an exclusive gold
standard and / further assert that
there is not an American citizen
favoring such q standard, but is do
ing that much to destroy the liber-
ties Of his country and aiding Eng
land to win by money what she
could not win by war.
I desire to ask your readers to Sc.
riously and intelligently ponder
over this last paragraph, whether
they be Democrats, Republicans,
Populists or Of any other political
, brand.

LOCAL SITUATIONS.

A fair estimate of public opinion
would undoubtedly show that major.
ity of the people of Idaho endorse the
position taken by Senators Dubois, Tel.
ler, Mantle and Carter on the DinVley
revenue bill. An analysis of sentiment
would disclose the following situation:
The Democrats endorse the attitude of
the Republican silver senators as much
on account of it being in opposition to
Republican measure as because it is a
pronunciamento for silver, 1t is nat
ural that they should enjoy the confu-
sion produced in the Republican camp,
and they feel that, in a measure, it
makes stand off to the RGmiliatinr
predicament so recently experienced by
themselves. The laugh is now on the
Republican party and Democrats are
not to be criticised for encouraging the
fun. The POpulists are obliged, from
the very nature of things, to enthusiast
tically endorse the western senator's
They see clearly that these ruptures in
the old parties are materially strength
ening their position. They now point
to the fact that both the old parties
have been fairly tried on the silver
question and successfully proved recall
citrant. On the one hand, they point
to Cleveland and Carlisle and CRY look
at these and talk to the people about
silver; then they point to Sherman and
d0FFii and cry gaze at those and talk
TO us about silver; and then, with a
smile OF inexpressibIe satisfaction. thew
point to Allen and PETER and all the |

FOOD FOR REFLECTION.

Mr.. A. P. Butler, of California, writ
ing from Toxic, Japan, to friends at
home, says:
The japanese will still continue to
be consumers of large quantities of In
ala cotton, mixing its short fiber with
the American staple, and henceforth
turning out better quality of goods.
Inc manufacturers here expect to place
Their sheetings and prints in the Amer
lean market, and they will certainly do
so unless prevented by the tariff. AS
TO the line of steamers between ,Janan
ana some port of the American coast
that will probably come when the Jan.
anese are able to build all of their own
ships at home. While on this subject
IL may be mentioned that the Mitsu
Blshl shipbuilding concern of Nagasiki
"a japanese organiZation-haS iust
taken contract to build a 7.5OOton
merchant vessel for the Nippon Yuspn
kaisha people. The Mitsu Bishi peo-
pie propose to duplicate the ships. five

but they are willing to lose 100000 ven

In the way of patriotism. The ,Japan.
ese spirit of today is to build and create
everything possible at home, and to not
permit a dollar to go abroad which can
be kept in Japan" N'''
There is food for reflection in that
Japan is on a silver basis. One of
those low, barbarous, heather nations
our friends, the goldbugs, pirate so
much about. But the difference seems
to be that Japan is emerging from that
condition while most of the high tone
nations are settling pack into it. There
are ups and downs with nations as well
as individuals. Hope we will soon
strike bottom.

JOHN oHINAMAN.

In recent report the secretary of
British Legation at Picking, writing of
conditions in China says:
Under the influence of cheap silver,
the volume of exports continues to ex-
pand, and the European consumer
reaps the benefit of their Cheapness in
gold prices. The fall in silver and low
treights have combined to enable the
majority of the staple exports of China
to be laid down in Europe at about
one-half tho cost at which they could
be sold twenty years ago"
OF course that secretary is q free
trader and goldbug. Ills whole idea
of prosperity is low prices. 1t does his
soul good to find that the pig tails
can produce things and sell them
cheaper than the people of England
can. He says, too, it is all on account
of the low price of silver and that the
British consumer reap5 the benefit,
But where does the British producer
come in? What is to become of the
mills and lathes of the tight little is
land? 1t occurs to us that the Chinese
arc the real benefciaries. A country
of active and expanding industries is
very liable to be prosperous country,
and a country whose labor is forced in.
to idleness and whose industries are
paralyzed is liable to be filed with
want and adversely. This British gold
bug candidly admits the correctness of
the silver mems contention. He shows
that while silver is the cheaper money,
great advantage inures to silver us
ing countries. This is one of the awk-
ward facts gold monometalIsts run up
against and they can't explain it away.
All the excuse they offer for persisting
in their folly is that free coinage of sill
yer would put US Immediately on a sill.
yer basis and that would reduce the Ia.
borers of this country to the level of
the Asiatics. But what is to become
of our laboreTs if the Asiatics are en-
abled to lay their products down in our
markets and undersell our producers ?
To what condition will that reduce
them? In this connection, it might be
we'll to call attention to the fact that
cotton and iron mills, under British
are being established in
China, and they expect to reap profit
largely from the low price of silver.
The eastern goldbugs better commence
explaining how best the people of the
United States can stand off John Chi !
laman.

ment Of the silver senators is spontan-
eous and unanimous; they have the
laugh on both Old parties and the rip
ping and rollicking resonance of il is
good to hear-when tie occasion of it
is forgotten. The RepublicaEs-Well,
the Republicans are mixed; they are
not feeling well. They endorse and
they don't endorse. They favor silver
and they wish they didn't have to-.
They would give great deal to be rid
of the whole question. While they be-
lieVe silver is the financial antidote,
they begin to apprehend that it will
prove a political bane. 1t is a pain
fully awkward thing at the present
moment. But, probably, majority of
the Republicans feel that the silver
senators have done about the right
thing, still they are not breaking out in
hilarity on account of it. They some
how seem to think that it is more their
funeral than anybody else's, and being
duly impressed with the gravity of the
situation are, at least, dGcorously sol
emn. Now, you have the loci stataS,
make the best of it.

1t reports John Sherman in the words
