pie, has resulted in the appreciation of
gold and corresponding fall in the
prices of commodities produced by the
people; a heavy increase in the burden
of taxation and of all debts, public and
private; the enrichment of the money
lending class at home and abroad, the
prostration of industry and the impov-
erishment of the people.
We are unalterably opposed to mono
metalism, which has locked fast the
prosperity of an Industrial people in
the paralysis of hard times. Gold mono
metalism is British policy, and its
adoption has brought other nations
into financial servltude to London. 1t
is not only American, but anti
American, and it can be fastened upon
the United States only by the stiff1ing
of that spirit and love of liberty which
proclaimed our political independence
in l776, and won it in the war of the
Revolution.
FREE SILVER.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1. without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall be a full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all
debts, public or private, and we favor
such legislation as will prevent, for the
future. the characterization of any kind
of legal-tender money by private con-
tract.
Have OF have we not hard times at
present?
We all know that the times are the
best ever seen by any nation at any
period of the world s history.
Have or haye we not monometallism
at present?
We have, that is what Bryan is kick
ing about.
Would or would not democratic
victory resulting in democratic nation.
al supremacy be followed 10y free coin
age OF silver at the ratio of is to 1?
If the democratic party should be
true to its repeated pledges free silver
would be one of the first enactments of
democratic administration.
Why is the republication of a por-
tion of your own national platform of
1896 as reaffirmed by your own state
convention of 1899, distasteful to you?
We really can't see why it should he
except for two reasons, lst that the
statements that ''monome alism has
locked fast the prosperity of an indus
trial people in the paralysis of hard
tines is good deal of joke at the
present writing, and 2ndly, that the
democrats realizing that free silver is
losing popularity wish to hide it in the
back ground and while clinging to it
hope to get into power by forcing new
questions upon the people.
What portion of Mr.. Blume's record
do you point to with pride2
Give it up.
How many motions did Mr.. Blume
make in the legislature2 What were
they?
From the records we find that he
made three.
lst. He moved that the report of the
committee on his little legalizing bill
be adopted.
I'd. He moved that the aforesaid bill
be passed.
Sd We find in another place that he
actually moved ''the previous ques-
ton"
Was a petition of 300 names beaded
by j. b. Romans presented to Mr..
Blume during the legislature? Did he
comply with the petition?
There was. On the only occasion in
which he had an opportunity he voted
directly opposite to the prayer of the
petitioners.
What bill did Mr.. Blume present to
the legislature, aside from a legaIizing
act relative to ordinances passed by the
town council of Arion?
ONE.
In what respect is Mr.. Kuehl better
qualified to fill the office of treasurer
than Mr.. q. e. Price?
Givelt up. We have found no one
who can answer this question.
In what respect is Harry Huntington
as well qualified for surveyor as Morris
! McHenry2 -
Harry is genial good fellow, not a
surveyor however,
Has or has not M. N. Smith made q
good coroner, aud have his official acts
been at all times consistent with hu-
manity and a proper respect for the
dead?
He has not. His actions have been
such that all who know of them are
unanimous in the opinion that no man
with spark of decency or humanity
about him would have been guilty OF
them.
Was Mr.. Delivers statement correct
that the 10th clause of the constitution
of the Philippine republic p states in
substance, "Aguinaldo shall be presi.
dent, and he shall not be held RESPONSE
bile for anything he may do?"
1t was.
