The opposition to the fzzle platform
which was engineered through by Mr..
German at the State convention which
assembled in Ford's Opera House, Balti
more, some three weeks ago, steadily
grows. The Committee of "e6" is or
ganizing formidable opposition to Mr.
Germans dark lantern policy. The moral
sense of the people of the State regardless
of party is disguised with what is known
as "Gormanism. Since Mr.. German
and Rasin have managed the political
affairs of the State, politics in the State
have been completely debauched, and the
public spirit of the party is thoroughly
blotted out. The party seemed to have
lost the power of even raising a feeble
resistance to the demoralizing aud debas-
ing policy which Mr.. German has steadily
pursued. 1t is now evident that he has
no conception of any other and nobler
public policy than the snaky. dishonest
methods he has always pursued.

A Characteristic Lie.

In all editorial in a recent issue of the
Philadelphia Press occurs the following
astonishing statement:
"There is indeed more than double the
silver i'll use as money that there was
twenty years ago when silver, as we are
told, was demonetized;' but this is be-
cause the whole volume of money is
enormously increased and the vastly
greater quantity of silver, if still limited,
can be carried at parity"
Had the writer put his statement this
way every one would, at glance, have
seen what monstrous falehood he was
telling-"Twenty years ago there was &C.
cording to the best authorities on the
subject 81, 600, coo, 900 of silver in circula-
ton in the world, when silver was demon
etized, now there is more than $780,
900, 600 OR more than double as much in
use as money" How this 'more than
double the quantity of silver coins has
got into circulation after the minis had
ceased coinage is a conundrum that
ought to halt the most reckless goldbug.
But the hireling daily press keeps right
on feeding the people with such reckless
lies.
Where has the enormous increase" OF
money come from. The trife of gold
which is annually mined i'll the last
twenty years is mostly used up in the arts
and has not added much to the volume of
money in existence, and nothing in cir
culation, for gold is too precious to be
wasted by circulating. The United States
government has not added a great deal
more than six hundred millions all told
since 1873, the largest part of which it has
put into circulation inside of that period
has been in silver certificates and legal
tenders. There is claimed to be $346,-
100000 greenbacks in circulation issued
in 1923, good many millions of which
have been lost and destroyed by fire and
other accidents since their issue.
When the cold facts are placed beside
such statements as those made by the
Press the enormity of the reckless lying
carried on by these goldbug organs is
apparent.
In place of money being at parity"
when compared with merchandise,
whether silver, gold or paper money. it is
all vastly above ''parity" and is kept so
by its scarcity as compared with the in
creasing demads for money by the expa,l-
siou of business and increasing popula-
ton. 1t is the legal tender law of the
government which keeps the parity"
between gold, silver and paper, and their
scarcity which destroys the just parity
between money and property. If the
volume of money had been enormously
increased" in the last twenty odd years,
the prices of products and other property
would have risen and not fallen. And
the silver tho vastly Increased" but still
'limited" is the reason it is carried at a
'parity." The idiotic nonsense of the
whole sentence is quite indispensable.

King Alfred, the greatest Saxon mon
arch of England, hung A Judges in one
year for denying the people trial by jury.
These Judges were governing by injunc-
ton, which wasn't according to the good
kings ideas of justice. The same class
of Judges have made their appearance
again in these United States. Wonder
when a King Alfred will appear. The
people,will, we have no doubt, in timetake
up the work of the Saxon monarch but
in place of hanging the injunction judges,
will tumble them over the garden wall.

OUR SUPREME COURT.

From an interesting address by Chief
Justice Kline, of Iowa, before the Bar
Association of that State, we take the
following reference to the amount of
work done by the Supreme Courts of the
different States, and the number of opin-
ions filed per judge, if the work had been
equally divided. Taking 1895, the latest
year whose data was available when he
delivered the address, he said
The lowest number Of opinions per
judge is found in New Mexico, which is
eight; but in that Territory the judges
of the Supreme Court are also required
to hold the nisi prius courts The high
est number of opinions per judge is in
Michigan, where the enormous number Of
$50 per judge was reached. Next to
Michigan comes North Carolina, with
127 per judge; next to North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, with Ill per judge; next
to Pennsylvania Alabama, with 10 per
judge. In Georgia and Mississippi 100
each per judge, and so on down the list
Missouri furnishing only % opinions per
judge, and Massachusetts 81. In Mary
land the number falls to 20; in Maine it
is Is; in Ohio ii, and in New Hampshire

years North Carolina has LED the list.

L cannot trust myself to write my
opinion of the man who, HAVING Induced
Mr.. Voorhees, to support the repeal of
the Sherman law AS A MEANS OF
SECURING ADDITIONAL SILVER
LEGISLATION, turned his back upon
him.
AS l was coming from the funeral with
Mr. McAIillin it came to my mind it was
due the memory of the dead man to show
that his chief fault was that he trusted
in two learned men who proved to- be UNI
worthy of his confidence. He was a
proud man-tOo proud to try to cover up
his own mistake by retaliating upon
Cleveland and Carlisle, and bore the criti-
cism of the people without publicly re-
buking the men he had trusted.
Few men in the history of this country
have stood so true and steadfast for lib
erty and constitutional government as
Daniel w. Voorhees,. He never saw the
moment when sectional considerations
had weight with him. He was not less
true to Indiana because he was ever
just to the Southern people and cham
piOned their constitutional rights. The
new library is his most durable mater
ial monument. But his record in Con-
gress, consistently battling for the up
lifting of the masses and his defense of
the rights of the States is the monument
which will last the longest. j. ID.

THE ELECTIONS AND MR.. BRYAN

Now that everybody seems to have had
his go as to the why's and wherefores
of the recent political surprises in the
West, may it not be just as well to olsen
tangle ourselves from all the theoretical
webs thus far woven and approach the
subject from the standpoint of two facts
which nobody will gainsay?
These two facts stand, one successive
to the other. and Il reasonable observer
will doubtless say that the second was in
the nature of an eloquent consequence.
Just after the defetat Of Mr.. Bryan, the
American people, with their prompt prac-
teal tendency to classify men and things,
accurately, were nevertheless at a loss
to know into just what pigeon hole. to
file Mr. Bryan away. Those who faint
under defeat were disposed to see him
passing out of view; the stronger-hearted,
who at the same time believed in the con-
slant tendency of the American people
towards the rights of the masses, saw in
ty They may not have expected that
vitality to reassert itself so soon, but all
that aside, they know now the reassertion
is fact. ..
There is not an intelligent newspaper
reader in the country who does not re-
cognize this fact.
60 ba Nrs p,.vap may l,a oI sol
now with precision in the pigeon-hole of
the next Democratic candidate and as the
next President, as far as human mind
can reasonably foretell
Since the Western elections, the re-
newed relation of Mr.. Bryan to the coun-
try has been, one might say, explosive
in its suddenness. His presence has been
felt in the East during the recent days
as an entity as much to be reckoned with
as was that personality which during the
campaign actually out of scattered frag-
ments recreated the Democratic party in
one body.
We cannot help feeling that this new
warm atmosphere ana glow has en-
velOped the man as a consequence of q
new breath that has been breathed into
him by the voices of voters who were, in
the West, determined not to be misrepre-
scented by results brought about not by
their own desires, but by Mark Hanna's
Doodle and intimidation campaign.
The Washington POST insisting with
its usual convincing humor that the tariff
was not the issue, notes the fact that the
increased Republican majority in Rhode
Island failed to loom up into National
significance.
But the Western elections went deeply
into the minds of the people, and if moth
ing else were needed to show that the
money question and the peoples rights
as represented in Bryan, were still the is
sues, the recent reawakened interest in
Mr.. Bryan would be sufficient The result
of these elections the people instantly
interpreted into their newer estimate of
Bryan.
They were the beginning of his new
campaign. Thus going from conse-
quence to cause, it seems clear that the
people laugh at tariff hypocrisy, and
make the lines plain again by attaching
to Mr.. Bryan's person the significance of
a victory that is represented chiefly in
him.
