SINCE the much talked of d

SINCE the much talked of dis
coveries of gold in Alaska, much
has been said pro and con relative
to the effect it would have upon
the silver movement in this coun-
try. Instead of there being a
danger that the price of silver will
20 down, there is more likelihood
that it will go up in relation to the
price of gold and will be retired
from circulation on account of it's
greater value. If these reports of
the finding of the gold in Alaska
are all that they appear to be this
may occur. The material value of
silver as compared to gold is about
Is or l6 to ], because that is about
the proportion in which the two
metals are mined, but the amount
of silver taken out of the mines in
proportion to the amount of gold
is steadily growing less, so that
silver is theoretically, and should
be actually, increasing in value.
And all that stands in the way OF
that increase is legislation-noth-
ing but legislation.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
Y0L. XIII, NO. I.

This week the CouRIER-DEMo-
Graf enters upon the thirteenth
year of it's existence in the arena
of Cavalier county newspaperdom.
A paper that attains the age of
thirteen years in the western part
of this state has the right to be
looked upon as something more
than a mere curiosity, and the
vicissitudes through which this
paper has merged to it's present
position gives it a history which
any newspaper regardless of poll
tics may we'll feel proud.
To new and old subscribers, es-
pecially to those who have stood
by US through the many years that
have rolled by, we will say that we
hope for many years to continue to
merit their life long friendship
and patronage. 1t has always been
the desire of the DEMOCRAT to
avoid personalities and give all the
news, being especially DESTROYS to
advance all loyal and patriotic in
terests which have the welfare Of
the people at heart.
During the ensuing year It is
hoped to add a number of improve
ments to the many departments of
the paper and at the same time to
greatly increase its already wide
circulation. We want everybody
in Cavalier county regardless of
politics to read the DEMOCRAT and
will guarantee that in it's columns
they will find all the news.

The expected has happened. It
came soon and IN plain shape.
President Nick inley has complete
lily abandoned bimetallism. His
currency message to congress was
mot the makeshift and shutting af-
fair that the country had looked
for. 1t is straight-out declaration
for the maintenance of the single
gold standard. Six years ago Pre-
sident Mckinley was a free silver
man and a strong believer in BIZ
metallism as is shown in the fol-
lowing extract from his celebrated
silver speech made at the Lincoln
banquet at Toledo, Ohio, on Feb
ruary %, 1891. In the speech, after
reciting, as he usually does, the
many great blessings showered
upon the country by the republic
can party he proceeds to enumer-
ate the pledges they had made.
Read what he had to say about
silver. Then ask yourself the ques-
ton "Why did he change his
views?"
eve made another pledge. That the
republican party is in favor of the use of
both gold and silver as money: that the
one should not be Disseminated against,
but that both should be equal and alike
recognized by the government. That
pledge has been kept. The congress of
the United States has passed a law which
utilities every ounce Of the silver product
OF the United States, and even more;
utilities it for money and turns it into the
channels OF trade and avenues OF business,
and as a result silver is nearer q parity
with gold today than it has been in the
last fifteen years. BY this law we have
not only increased the circulating medium
of the country, but have made that cir
culating medium absolutely safe. Not a
single democrat voted for the silver BILL
1t passed in spite OF democratic opposi-
ton. The democrats had the house of
representatives and the presidency for
four years. and did nothing for silver but
discredit it. Cleveland's first act was tc
demand the suspension of the coinage of
the silver dollar. We pledged the restor-
alton of silver to its true and ancient re-
lation in our monetary system. and it
has been done.'
This makes the issue between
democracy and republicanism clear
cut. 1t leaves the democratic or
ganization the party of bimetalism
and the republican organization
the party of gold monometa]lism.
There can no longer be any Snuff
ling and evasion in the republican
party. Republicans who are BIZ
metallists must now come to the
democratic party. There is no
longer the taintest glimmer of
hope for them or the triumph of
their cause outside of the demo-
cratic party. The democracy can
accept the issue with renewed hope
and courage. Republican defeat,
if not complete annihilation, and
democratic victory are now assured
in 7Q0O
