monetlzed ana gold was made the sole
! primary money. The volume of pri-
/ Tuary money was thus cut in half; the
value of all things measured In money
was likewise cut in half, and the value
or purchasing power of all credits was
doubled. This act was done in the in-
terests of the holders Of the bonds and
other securities of the American peo-
/ pie.
ut dout ed the value or purchasing
power of all debts the American people
owed; 1t deprecated at least one-half
the value of all property that the
American people possessed or might
produce. The great creditor nation Of
the world in 1873 was England, and
there the great bulk of American Sc
curities was owned. The United States
was the great debtor nation. The act
OF 1873 imposed upon this country the
mcno-metallic system of the greatest
creditor ofthis country, England. That
system Is as much a British system
now as 1t was in 1878. An American
policy should replace this British pol
icy. This can only be done by restor-
ing silver to its constitutional place as
a money metal The bimetallist asks
nothing from government upon this
subject except to undo the wrong 1t
has done. He proposes no mere ex-
pedient. He insists upon return to
the wise conservatism of the founders
of the republic. The struggle for the
return to this system has now contin-
ued for quarter of a century. That
struggle must succeed. The demon
citation of silver was a fraud upon
every solvent mana theft from every
honest debtor; a robbery from every
laborer aud producer. It was done by
avarice, and will be undone by justice.
The Democracy of Kentucky, now as
in the past, in this contest sides with
the struggling masses who produce the
wealth and pay the taxes. The Re-
publican party now, as in the past,
ranges itself with the idle holders of
idle capital, with the bondholder and
the money changer. The Democrats
of Kentucky declare that their faith in
bimetallism has been vindicated by
events; that the necessity for the res
toration of the double standard was
acknowledged by President Mckinley
and the congress when, in 1897, COM
mission was sent to Europe to entreat
other nations TO aid us in re-establish-
ing bimetallism; that the failure of
this commission to secure European
cooperation establishes the fact that
the free coinage of silver can come
only through the independent action
of the United States, and that the
present legal ratio of 16 to / is the
only ratio at which bimetallism can
be restored, and that opposition to
that ratio is confined to those who OPP
pose bimetallism at any ratio, and to
those who ignore the reasons which
led three national conventions to
adopt it.
"And in order to emphasize, as moth
ing else could emphasize, their con-
viction and purpose with reference to
this great question, the Democracy of
Kentucky have in their platform NOM
mated as their candidate for the presi.
dency next year William Jennings
Bryan, and as their candidate to sue
coed William Lindsay in the federal
senate Joseph c. S. Blackburn. [Great
cheering.

SILVER AN ISSUE.
Kentucky Democratic Platform FaV-
Ors the White Metal.

1.-THE platform adopted by the Ge-
mocracy of Kentucky this year is ~
clear and unequivocal a defiance of all
the forces of monopoly and concgn-
trated wealth as the national platform
of 1896 itself 1t reafiirms without
qualification that national platform,
and insists upon the independent free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
l. Money is a measure OF value, a me-
dunn Of exchange. IT is an established
economic principle that as the volume
of primary money, which is the basis
of all business exchanges, decreases,
the value of all property measured in
the medium of exchange decreas IS.
And as the volume Of primary money
increases, the value of property meas-
ured in or by it increases Algo. as
the amount of primary money, is les
sened, the purchasing power of the
dollar is increased. From the founda-
ton of the government until 1873 both
gold and silver constituted primary
money of this country--beinig freely

FOE OF DEMOCRACY.
Big Railway Corporation Arraigned
For Dipping In Politics.

I'm 1896 the most effective instru-
ment that aided in fIauduently taking
KentuCky's electoral vote from Bryan
and giving it to Mckinley was the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany. Today the chief influence that
is endeaVOrng to repeat the foul work
of 1896 is the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad company. Now, as in 1896,
the means employed to this end are
the substituting Of newspapers, the CO.
ercion and intimidation of employees
and dependents, and an attempt to di-
vide the Democratic party.
THE true reason for this course Of
the most powerful monopoly OF the
commonwealth is found not so much
in the pretended apprehension OF hos
tile state legiSlatiOn-tOr no such leg
isation is or has been proposed-but
in the fact that those who own and,
control that COZ poratiOn have greater
interest than any other persons on
earth in the maintaining of the single
gold standard.
"The Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road company is controlled by the Bel
monts, who are and for many years
have been the American representa-
tives of the Rothschilds Mr.. August
Belmont is the chairman of the execu-
tive board of the directory Of the Lou
isville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany. The Cleveland-C Carlisle gold
bond sale contract was signed August
Belmont & Co., on behalf of Messrs
N. M. Rothschilds & Sons of London,
and themselves
None have greater interest in
maintaining the single gold standard
than the Rothschilds and the Bel
monts, because they are the largest
holders of American securities on
earth. The agency through which they
can most effectively work in Kentucky
is the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road company. Now, as in 1896, that
corporation employs every known en-.
CINE of coercion and intimidation
against the Democratic party.
NOW as in 1896, 1t uses the money
gathered by il from the people OF Ken
tncky to send broadcast over the COM
monwealth many thousands Of free

The keynotesin the Kentucky state
campaign was sounded at Mayfeld on
Saturday, Aug. IL, by Hon. William
Goebel, Democratic nominee for gov
ernor - Six thousand of the stalwart
Democracy of Graves, the banner Dem
ocratic county of the state, gathered at
the county seat and gave enthusiastic
welcome to the standard bearer OF the
party.
Senator Goebel, in his speech, clearly
defined the issues of the campaign,
His arguments were telling and clear.
During the delivery of his peroration,
Mr.. Goebel was momentarily overcome
by the intense heat, an incident which
for a time caused some alarm. He was
compelled to give way to Senator
Blackburn, who made an eloquent de-
Tense of the principles of Democracy.
and at its conclusion, Senator Goebel
finished his mastery address.
The immense meeting was held in
the shadeless courthouse yard at May
field, and despite the great heat, the
auditors remained to the very last.
On the platform was noticed an i'm
mense picture of Hon. William ].
Bryan, which the crowd cheered again
and again.
Senator Blackburn and Senator Goe-
bel were escorted to the speakers
stand by Hon. Samuel Grassland and
Judge J. E. Robbins OF Mayfeld
I'umultuous cheering greeted the
party. Mr.. Grassland acted as chair
man, and in his Introductory address
eulogized Mr.. Goebels public ard pri-
vate record. Mr.. Grassland also scath-
ingly referred to the bolter meeting at
Mayfield.

Mr. GOebel said:
Fellow Citizens: We are entering |
upon the initial battle of the great ma |
tiOnai conflict of 1900. Now, as in !
1896 the corrupt and COrrupting forces .
that seek to perpetuate their control Of .
government, to enrich themselves at .
the expense of the masses of the peo-
pie, are engaged in an effort fraudu-
lently to take KentuCky's electoral .
vote from Bryan and transfer it to
Mckinley; to prevent the election to
the federal senate Of Blackburn, Ken
tucky's foremost champion of bimetal-
ism, and to subject Kentucky per-
manently to the domination of Hanna
ism and Hunterism, and all that they
imply.

the elements % of Biblical structure, C)
of Biblical history and geography 90 of
great Bible truths, CD of Christian charac-
ter, and % of personal work and Christian
service.
Thus at the very beginning the student
IS prepared for more advanced study in
the second grade 'Inductive Study by
Books which will be taught by Rev Ar
thur J. Smith. As Dr. Ballantue says
The purpose of inductye study is that
the student may have first hand knowl-

what the teacher says about the Bible
but by the use of his own eyes to become
personally familiar with it. Such study
must have three qualities, viz: Large

series Mark, Acts and Philippians are to
be covered.
