The Free Silver Bait.

The Democratic platform declares in
favor of the free coinage of silver and at
the ratio of l6 to l. Everybody knows
what that means. 1t means that as soon
as the government is compelled to coin
everybody's silver, without limit as to
quantity and without responsibility as to
its maintenance on parity with gold,
silver coin will soon drop to its value as
metal. A silver dollar will then be worth
about so cents. But as the law makes it
legal tender for all debts, it must be ac-
cepted in payment for labor aud every
thing else, and thus those who have made
contracts and have not protected them
selves by clause requiring paymen. TO
be made in gold will be defrauded of half
their claim by a dishonest government.
But, our Democratic friends in Pennsyl-
mia say, this is merely conciliatory
plank, which was not intended to be en-
forced, and could not be for the reason
that no Congress would pass such law.
If this plank in the Democratic platform
is only bluff, and doesn't really mean
anything what of the rest? Are not all
the planks equally sincere? If not, how
snall we discriminate? And what must
we think of a party whose deliberate pur-
pose il is to preach free silver in the West
and South, and tell the people in the East
that the free silver plank doesn't really
amount to anything?
When fishing for votes the Democratic
platform makers thought it wise to use a
variety of bait, to suit the different species
of fish to be caught But bait that is at
tractive to the old Greenback element,
which wants something for nothing, is
repulsive to bigger and better kinds of
fish, and they lose a halibut to catch a
sucker. -Prnr'y Spirit.

IT is with considerable wryness OF fea
lures that Bro. Irwin of the Democratic
Venango Spectator partakes of the dish
set before the voters of the 9th Congress
sional district by the Democrats and dis
satisfied Republicans. After taking up
MIR. Emery and his crazy-quilt platform,
seriatim ct literatum, and finding trifle
to condone and much to condemn from a
Bryanite stamping ground, wads up the
whole batch. chews it while, and spits
out the following in bunch:
AS before stated, Mr.. Emery's platform
is ah admirable composite. Not only for
China and the Orient, but in politics, he
stands for the open-door policy. A door
stands open on every side of his platform,
through which we may all enter and
stand together. There is something
there for all of us, except the Standard
Oil people. 1t caters to different tastes,
like the apple-woman's fruit. "Are they
sweet or sour?" inquired a customer.
"a tartish sweet, sir" said she land a
leetle inclined to be sourish."

II is a good thing that the Democratic
party has no reputation to lose for accu-
racy ofstatement. Facts are stubbornly
against them. They are wrong on silver.
They are wrong in predicting distress in
Porto Rico. They ave wrong in predic-
ting the doom of the Republic in the
event of McKinley's reelection, and they
are wrong by about million and half
votes in their forecasts as to the election
of theiI candidate in November.
