THE MAN OF THE HOUR.

How true II Is today, as in all times
past, that a prophet is not without honor
save in his home and among his own
people. This is again shown by the
editor of the Omaha Bee in his telegram
to the World, in which he depreciates
Bryan's ability, his force Of character,
his craftsmanship and his qualifications
for the high office for which he has been
nominated by three national political
parties.
william J. Bryan was not, Is not, &c.
cording to the editor Of the Bee, appreci-
ated at home among his neighbors. He
had to be discovered when away from
home. His neighbors were too thick
skulled or too optuse in their mental
vision to appreciate that. they had among
them great man. A man of mighty
power. A man, who, with his eloquence,
set logic on fire, and swayed multitude
of gray haired politicians ana statesmen.
A man who met the great New York
premier, and the oratorioal Achilles Of
Massachusetts, and with one broadside
swept their arguments and eloquenue
aside, as II they were but thin gauze
A man whose thoughts flashing o'er
the country has set millions of people
wondering, doubling and investigating,
and who are turning their faces to the
West to behold "The day star of hope,
"the man Of the hour" All! this is too
often the case, in the busy, throbbing
and earnest West. 1t Is too often the
fact, that the people do not appreciate
those about them, those with whom they
come in daily contact. 1t was so with
Lincoln. 1t was so with Grant and q
host of other westerners.
Ha5 Bryan been Boston, New York
or Philadelphia boy, and achieved such q
victory by his sheer force of eloquenct
and character, the people and the press OF
these great cities would have gone daft In
their spirit of rivalry in painting the
great triumph In setting forth the
superb character, the magnificent splen
dor of their favored son, not one single
member of the press would have failed
to have given full need of praise tt
their gallant son. For the East Is loya
to It's own. Its patriotism begins a
home. But it was left for citizen a
Bryans home, an editor of one of its lead
ing journals, to cast stones at one o
Omaha's citizens, who, by and through
sheer merit, won the crown of distinction
The more astute Republican Journals
are just discovering the truth of the olC
maxim that "vinegar catches no flies,
and are calling for halt of the manne
in which the Republican newspapers ii
general have been assailing the Demo
Gratis and Populists with rabid abuse anC
live epithets.

THEM POTATOES"
A Pike Township Farmer Who Seems
to Know a Thing or Two
About Raising Them.

Pike Township, August 6, 1896.
Editor News-Democrat We want the
whole world to understand that we have
700 bushels Of flrst-class potatoes, that
we cannot sell for one cent per bushel,
or, In fact, for anything; and tnat we are
raising lot more to pile on top of them.
We want the Mckinley tariff again
We must have It'll If we don't get 1t the
pauper labor of "Yurrop" will rush in
flood of potatoes and undersell our pota-
toes Horr ible thought They will sell
their potatoes for half what we get for
ours-which is nothing! One-half of
nothing! Who can raise potatoes in
competition with the pauper labor of
Yurrop, and sell them for one-half of
nothingP 1t can't be did For Gods
sake bring on your tariff-on a clean
plate
We want John Judas Carlisle to come
along and comfort us with the informa-
tion that the purchasing power of the
dollar was never so great as it is today
and that the purchasing power OF the
potato was never so little; but that the
money lenders do not deal in potatoes,
and so we are all happy We would like
for John Judas to come in our cellar
and deliver an grafton on this subject
over "them potatoes We have club
that would just about fit into Johns
cranial bumps, and we would want only
one good whack at him and we would
cover up the remains with potatoes, and
use the whole mess to manure our fields
next year, and-raise more potatoes
under the single gold standard!
Now, we want our daily papers to take
up this important question. Set the
scientists at work. Tell us how we car
live on potatoes-fried, stewed roasted
and in the shell; how we can weave
potatoes into cloth and mend the dilapida
tions caused by uLscrupulous time; how
we can pay our taxes with these priceless
esculents; how we can rig purchase tina
will turn potatoes into government bonds
bearing gold interest.
The potato The potato and high tariff
These are the great issues of the hour
Let us support Mckinley and raise pota
toes Before we permit foreign oompeti
tion to put down the price of our potatOe
lower than they are now, let us raise g Oh
Glory" the symbol of our high intelli
genoe as people, and die in the last ditch
Three cheers for Mckinley, and pota
toes and high tariff, and our American
breed of iackasses The noblest an,
longest cared breed of jackasses in tn
world Hip! Hip Hurrah

THE ooLDITEs MIsREPREsENT
FREE COINAGE.

The gold monometallio Republican
organs say that the proposition to coin
silver at the ratio Of 10 to Is proposition
to buy fifty odd cents worth Of silver and
stamp It as worth one dollar. IL Is
a proposition Of nothing Of the kind
Under free coinage the United States
would in no sense whatever buy silver
The assertion that tree coinage meaus
that the United States would purchase
silver in unlimited quantities giving a
dollar In exchange for every fifty odd
cents Of silver, Is an inexcusable false
hood.
Under the Bland and Sherman acts,
acts forced on those demanding the free
coinage of silver by the gold contraction
lists and passed as compromises, the gov
ernment bought silver at market rates,
but under free coinage che government
would buy silver In no other sense than
IL now buys gold, and It would no more
give 81 in coin for SO cents worth Of silver
than it now gives 81 in coin for SO cents
worth of gold bullion.
The proposition to coin silver at the
ratio of 16 to is not proposition to buy
silver; 1t Is proposition to give the
owner of silver the same privileges Of
mintsge az those now enjoyed by the
owner Of gold, TO restore the privileges
Of mintage to the owner Of silver bullion,
privileges never denied until 1878. Under
free coinage the government would re-
ceive on deposit silver bullion as II now
receives gold bullion, and for every 81 4
grains Of pure silver deposited 1t would
return to the depositor silver dollar
containing 371h grains of silver, just as
for every 23. 22 grains Of pure gold depos-
tied IL now returns the equivalent OF a
gold dollar. And this 371A grains of
silver under free coinage would be worth
no more after coinage into the dollar than
before, any more than 23.22 grains OF gold
is at this time worth more as coin than
bullion.
With the mints open to silver coinage
as they are now open to gold, the value
Of silver as coin and silver as bullion
would be the same The silver dollar
might not be worth as much as the gold
dollar, but the bullion value of S71h
grains of pure silver or of 4l2% grains o'
standard silver would re the exact equiva
lent of the coined silver dollar, and this
silver dollar is what the owner OF silver
bullion would get in return for his silver
Under free coinage, therefore, the ownel
of silver bullion could get no more thar
the market value for his silver, for the
market value would be the coin value
Such being the case, statements to th'
effect that free coinage means that th
government would pay 81 for every d
odd cents worth of silver offered at tn
mints, cannot go uncnallenged, for the!
havs absolutely no foundation In truth.

MARLBORO SAFE.
ALL CLASSES IN FAVOR OF THE
WHITE METAL.
A Meeting at which Many Republi-
cans Were Present, and Nearly
Every One Pledged to Support
Bryan and Free silver.

Bryan ana Free silver.
The quaint little hamlet of Marlboro,
known in political circles as Republican
hotbed, has caught the spirit Of progress
and at the coming fall election will be
found in line as one of the strongholds
for Bryan and silver and the whole town
is working for the campaign Of the white
metal.
Early this monring a staunch Repulbi-
can and silverite, came to Canton and
stated that there had been great revolu-
ton at Marlboro, on the present political
situation, and that It was now an undis.
puted fact that the Marlboro votes would
almost be unanimously cast In favor Of
silver.
Wednesday evening there was a grand
meeting OF the politicians and citizens OF
Marlboro and the surrounding country
held in the Marlboro town-house, in
charge of the Marlboro Grange, being
attended by rs voters from that section
of the country, the most Of them being
recognized as old Republicans.
The financial question was taken up
and every person present given ample op.
portunity to express their opinion of the
subject, which they did in a most pleasing
and interesting manner.
1t was so plain to be seen by the trend
of the different speeches, that silver wa,
great favorite with the people, and
10 one-sided were all the addresses in
favoring 1t, that at the close of the
speech making vote was taken to ascer
tain just how the voters considered the
question, and in this last act of voting II
was found that out Of the total number
of voting men at the meeting, 73 cham
pioned the cause of Bryan and silver ant
two were for Mckinley and gold.
The people of Marlboro have become Sc
enthused over the money question, tina
they will organize Bryan Silver Clul
Immediately.
There will be another public politioa
gathering at Marlboro next week, ant
the money question will again b
thoroughly discussed.
