Sil>by at Miller.

Gen. Geo. A. Silsbv addressed Il fair
audience at Miller Thursday evening
upon the political issues of the day.
He is very forcible speaker, enter
tanning and instructive. His answer
to Mrs. Mary Leases pessimistic
talk about the "spine!ess president
was very complete, and elected gen
erous applause. The people very
evidently have no use for such
criticisms as Mrs. Lease INDUCES in.
Upon the financial question Mr..
Silsby appears at his best, and his
brief explanation OF Uncle Sans
money, its uses and benefits was so
clear and concise that any one could
understand the republican position.
which is squarely and unequivocally
for the present gold standard, with
the use of all silver and paper money
necessary as at present. AS mat
ter OF fact, and as shown by the
speaker there is no such thing as
"bi metallic Standard" 1t is simply
not possible or practical as mat
ter of of principle. To go over the
old ground, man must either be-
lieve in a single measure, Il single
standard, a single yard stick, or else
believe in fiatism. A single measure
will measure all things honestly and
fairly, like a single yard stick, a
single peck measure, a single pound.
But to make one yard stick OF 36
inches and another of twenty inches
would create endless confusion and
dishonest measures; and no govern
ment on earth could guarantee to
make the 20 inches equal to 36
inches. Hence bi-yardsticks are not
practical, and all the talk about BIZ
metalism is equally unreasonable,
purely visionary dreaming, so far
as a standard of value is concerned.
We can use silver, and do use more
of it now than ever. To this extent
we have bimetalism. But no govern
ment nor individual can guarantee
to make 80 cents worth OF silver
equal to 100 cents worth Of any
thing else, except in limited degree.
Gen. Silsby disclosed some inside
truths about the railroad yell"
and stated that the republican party
treated the railroads the same AS it
did any other interest, viz: With
exact and equal Justice, no more, no
less. Gen. Silsby is one OF the best
campaigners in the state for the
principles OF republicanism.

What is Best!

The improved conditions of the
past year and a half are evident to
any thinking man. The volume oi
trade is greater over the entire coun-
trv, more men are employed, money
is easier to obtain, many factories
have started up again. The bust
ness world has confidence in our fl
lnancial system and protective laws,
and the general tendency ofthe times
is constantly towards improved con-
ditions. This is under republican
rule and republican laws. Contrast
it with the Cleveland, free trade era
of 1892 to 1896, when factories were
closed, workmen were idle, banks
were going to the wall, and free soup
houses were common adiuncts to
every city. Do the people wish to re-
turn to such conditions? We believe
not. Republican success means a
continuation and expanding of i'm
proved conditions which will become
more manifest as they slowly grow
and enlarge. And it is necessarily a
slow growth. Business disaster may
come very sud denly and rapidly, but
recovery is always slow. To makes a
change OF republican laws or repub-
lican administration at this time
would result IN check to the i'm
proved tendency. No benefit can be
obtained by such u course. Full
and complete opportunity to thor
oughly test the present republican
laws should be given. This is but
common business sense. The cleo
ton this year is important in this
connection, in that Congressman are
elected in all states, who will COM
pose the next House of Representa-
tives Ii, as we believe, it is necessa-
ry and beneficial to the people to
maintain and give full opportunity
for operation OF the present laws, it
is wise to ret ain the republican ma
jority in congress; it is wise to sup
port, work for, and vote for republi-
can success. And this republican
success, upon the principle OF the
greatest good means endorsement
by the people OF the present laws,
and an expression of confidence in
President Mckinley and his man.

Congressman Knowles says the
bond issue was not popular loan,
but was all gobbled up by the bank
ers, who can turn into the govern
ment tire asury these bonds and get
back 800 on every 800 in bank
notes to use right along. This was
to show what the banks could do
and what the individual could not
do.
A little, further along Congress-
man Knowles said he favored issu.
ing greenbacks instead of bonds
and as one OF the reasons said it
would take no money out OF circula-
ton like the bond Issue does. Will
