cannot be perpeurated nor the license
Legislation secured.
In this condition of affairs the advo-
Gates of license are making the most
strenuous efforts to secure the co-ope-
ration of the Prohibitionists in their
efforts to enact what they are pleased
to call local option, to effect which
three bills are now on their passage
through the house.
Plausible pleas are offered by these
local option advocates to induce the
friends of prohibition to forsake their
principles and join with them in the
inauguration of system which they
claim will be- beneficial to all.
We do not propose to point to the fal-
lacy of this claim in theory and fact.
We would briefly submit that what
ever may be the benefits of local op-
ton when exercised as an agency for
the deliverance of community from
the curse of the liquor traffic, these
claims fail when it is distinctly pro-
posed for your support as means OF
securing the license of the liquor traf-
fic to certain counties of the state
where it does not exist, and where it
cannot exist without your aid. This
support is based on temporizing, tenn
porary policy of expediency, and nec'
essarily involves compromise of your
principles as Prohibitionists. 1t is
the commercial method of dealing
with the traffic and should be left with
the trading politicians who resort to it.
1t proposes to set aside prohibition in
the interest of law-defying cliques and
schemers, and at the opportune time,
when it has demoralized the public
sentiment to its own plane, to offer it
up as sacrifice to the liquor Moloch
and sprinkle its blood upon all the
high places where sin holds its carni-
val. 1t proposes to ignore the eternal
distinction between right and wrong
by endorsing wrong and legalizing it.
1t makes q majority vote the au-
thority by which what is declared u
wrong in one county is made right in
another, or what is wrong at one time
in one county is made right at another
time in the same county.
1t proposes to grant the protection
which prohibition of the liquor traffic
secures to life, health and morals in
one county, and by the same means
in the adjacent county to license ipdi-
viduals to invade the rights and set at
naught the protection thus secured.
We regret the necessity which has
been forced upon US of protesting thus
publicly against the advice of some of
our most prominent counsellors who
favor an alliance with the friends of the
liquor traffic under the name of local
option but when our silence would be
construed as an approval of this alli-
ance, and used to promote it, we are
constrained by sense of duty TO our
selves, and the thousands of loyal Pro-
hibitionists who have put themselves
on record as opposed to the liquor traf-
fic by local option or otherwise, to set
forth these views and earnestly urge
upon you not to lend your influence to
any alliance with local-option-license
advocates in the general assembly in
securing legislation which must inev-
itably prove disastrous to prohibition
and fasten on us the evils Of liquor
system for an indefinite time to come.

FERTILIZERS.

In the past I have taken an especial
pride in handling only the best HIGH
GRADE STANDARD FERTILIZERS,
the merits and popularity of which are
attested by the constantly increasing sales
as each successive season passes by, and
although my arrangements of the past
have been very satisfactory, they do not
compare with present arrangements, and
I am now better prepared than ever to
quote prices on. FERTILIZERS, and
since it is quite an important item with
most farmers, am sure that it will be de-
cidedly against their interest to buy fer
tilizers without first seeing me, for, l
have taken the best advantage of the
lowest f1uctuating prices and made con-
tracts accordinply.

MUST TELL WHAT HE KNOWS -
A decision of the greatest importance
in bankruptcy proceedings throughout
the country, was handed down by
Judge Seaman, in the United States
circuit court at Milwaukee, Wis, last
Wednesday. The court holds that
when man files a petition in bank.
ruptcy he valves his constitutional
privilege of refusing to give testimony
under the plea that it may tend to
criminate himself and give rise to
criminal proceedings. The decision is
rendered in the contempt proceedings
instituted against Louis Spairo, q
Waupun bankrupt merchant, for fail
ing to produce his books of account.

The NEW CURRENCY BILL.
Free Silver Minority Points Out Its Grave
Effects.

Free Silver Minority Points Out Its Grave
Effects.
Representative Charles w. Stone, o.
Pennsylvania, submitted to the house
last Tuesday his report to accompany
the Hill bill, recently reported from
the committee on coinage, weights
and measures, of which Mr.. Stone is
chairman.
The Hill bill, the report says, con-
tains an affirmative declaration for the
gold standard a provision for the in.
terchaugeability of all forms of money
a separation of the note issue from the
fiscal branch of the treasury depart
ment; the retirement of the green
backs and the establishment of branch
national banks.
Mr.. Stones report says that the Hill
bill is conservative in purpose and pro-
vision. "It SEEKS" he says, "to
strengthen, solidify and fortify our
present system, rather than to build
anew. 1t especially seems to allay at
home and abroad all doubt as to the
present and permanent quality of our
money, and to make and keep the
credit of the nation above the reach OF
successful attack or well-grounded ap-
prehension."
The manner in which this is accom-.
plished is explained in detail in a re-
view of the bill by sections.
eff this bill becomes a law" says
the report, sit will be of no possible
consequence in what particular kind
of a dollar the United States debt is
payable, as any one will be as good as
any other and every one exchaugeable
for any other, and the kind of money
to be paid and received will be merely
a matter of convenience and not of pro-
fit or loss."
The minority report, which also was
submitted today, says the bill will
make radical changes in our whole cur
rency system and work serious and,
it is believed, destructive contraction
of our money volume and destroy the
whole of the silver coinage. The bill,
says the report, fixes absolutely and
unquali6edly the single gold standard
upon the country. All of the standard
silver dollars are swept from their
present position as standard money
and into the category of credit money,
and made charge upon the govern
ment for their redemption in gold.
The provision repeating the law which
prohibits national banking associations
from withdrawing from circulation
more than So, 900, 900 in any one month,
gives the bankers power that will
inevitably lead to sudden contraction
of the currency and business prostra-
ton. This will give the banks, says
the minority report, the power TO con.
tract the circulation at will and to
coerce legislation under threat of pan
les. The whole scheme of the bill,
continues the minority, contemplates
the destruction of silver as money ;
the destruction of greenbacks and
treasury notes as money, and denies to
congress the right to issue paper money,
except by farming out to corporations
this great sovereign power. Notice is
given that substitute will be offered
providing that both the gold and silver
dollars shall be standards of value and
providing for free coinage of silver.

for each dime cigar. The cigar boxes
are to be appropriately labeled show

To the Prohibition Members of the
General Assembly ly-Gentlemen: Re-
cent developments of desire and pur.

liquor traffic to draw you into false
and inconsistent position toward the
issue now before the legislature, and
to divert your acknowledged influence
in that body from the support of pro
hibition to that of the liquor traffic
has impressed US with the duty of Civ
ing expression to our views of the sit
uatiop, for which we deem no apology
necessary.
We respectfully suggest that, what
ever may be- individual opipious GU
this subject, and however conscien
tiously entertained, their correclnes:
and value in guiding loyal Prohibi
ZIONIST must be determined by their
agreement with the platform of their
convention as body representing th'
Prohibitionists of the state.
That convention, in April, last dis
tinctly announced its opposition t.
every form of liquor selling for bever
age purposes, and to any legal sane
tion of such sales by dispensary, higl
license or any other agency.
Upon that platform its candidate
for state officers entered the campaign
and, earnestly contesting the views o
those candidates representing the dis
'pensary, local option and license, they
proclaimed as the doctrine of the Pro
hibitionists that a prohibition law TO
the whole state was the only remed.
for the evil of the liquor traffic.
Upon that issue the campaign wa
fought, and resulted in the elimination
of the local-option -high-liceuse ide'
from the contest by decisive vote
the people in the first primary, ant
their determination that the final con
test should be between prohibition an
the dispensary.
The attitude of the Prohibition can
didate throughout that campaign wa
one of answering devotion to prohl
bition as a principle, and this, with tn
high plane upon which his canvas
was conducted, called forth the CRATE
full admiration of his friends and force
from his opponents the highest com
mendations for himself and his cause
In several counties members of tn
general assembly were elected owe
observation-disclosures candidates becaus
of their adherance to the doctrlne
prohibition announced by the conven
tion, while in other counties, also
where no issue was made, candidate
were elected whose views were know
to be in harmony, on this issue, wit
those announced by the convention
The number of these Prohibitionist
in the general assembly is believed I
be sufficient to constitute the "ba
