The Financial Law,

Those who are DESTROYS OF getting at
the truth OF things will recall that
during the last four years the princi.
pal argument In favor of voting tho
democratic ticket has been that the
republicans, IL given power, would fas-
ten the gold standard on the people
ana thereby work the ruin OF the
country, says the Caldwell Tribune
Now 1t is In order To watch the fulfill
ment OF that prediction. The gold
standard is on the people, and while IL
may not always remain there, there is
no reason to think that it will he very
soon removed. Under the laws of the
United States, the unit Of value is the
gnld dollar, and every and all other
forms OF money are resulsahlc into
gold and must be maintained on an
equality with II. This Is the princi.
pal feature OF the new financial law
and is to he regarded rs the basis upon

Something Bryan Won't Quote.

There is one utterance of Lincoln &
that Mr. Bryan is not likely to quote.
1t was made in 1868 when the demo
cratic leaders protested against send
ing Vallandingham across the federal
lines into the confederacy, and is as
follows:
He who dissuades one man from
volunteering or induces one soldier
to desert weakens the cause as much
as he who kills an American soldier
in battle. Must / shoot a simple
minded soldier boy who deserts, while
l must not touch a hair of the willy
agitator who induces him to desert :?
This is none the less injurious when
affected by getting father or mother
or friend into public meeting and
there working upon his feelings till he
is pursuaded to write the soldier boy
that he is fighting in bad cause, for a
wicked administration of contempt
BILE government. think that in such
case, to silence the agitator and save
the boy is not only constitutional, but
withal great mercy.

Stop the Mud Throwing.

To the Advocate which is publishing
low assaults on Theodore Roosevelt we
commend the following gentlemanly
advice from the Davenport Democrat,
one of the leading democratic papers
of the state
The Keokuk constitutional Democrat
and some other democratic papers are
publishing vicious assaults upon the
war record of Theodore Roosevelt.
They declare that he murdered fleeing
men by assailing them in the back,
that he saw no fighting, that he did
not even know the lay of the land
about San Juan, and that he had been
nothing but braggart and a buffer,
who never smelled powder or saw
blood. These are not their charges in
precise terms, but are fair summary.
Yet only a little over two years ago
at least some of these same journals
were lauding Colonel Roosevelt to the
skies. He was hero enough for them
then, and was all the more pleasing
because his conduct in the matter of
the famous round-robin, and some
other Incidents, permitted them to pa
rade him as hot enemy of the admin
istration. His war record was good
enough for anybody. Why has that
record been so furnished because he
has been forced to accept place on
| the republican national ticket? In
other words, why be so partisan, and
so narrowly partisan, ms to be motor
iously unfair? Does any cool headed
man think that can make votes?
Suppose the republicans were to be-
gin to analyze the war record of Mr..
Bryan with the same animus and for
the same purpose. Isn't it possible
that they, too, might have little fun
as they go along? The people accept
ed Mr.. Bryan as they did Mr.. Roose-
welt; Joe Wheeler and Fitzhugh Lee
as they did General Miles and Presi-
dent Mckinley; as Americans devoted
to their country. What is the use of
throwing mud today? There is no
place for it on either side Of the cam
paign.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1900-09-13

Do we want change, and if so what
for? Do we want to turn our backs
on the thrift and good times of today
and return to the distress and hard
times of few years ago? Democrats
aud populists might just as we'll be
honest with themselves and concede
that the election of their ticket means
complete revolution in the affairs of
the nation. Revolutions at their best
are but experiments, and always dan
gerous. In this case any revolution in
the affairs of our nation would be
doubly dangerous because it would
, necessitate a change from that which
we know is working for our good to a
something that has in the past resulted
in industrial paralysis and business
stagnation. We believe we are voic-
ing the sentiment of the people when
we say let well enough alone. Shelby

Last week the Advocate had an ar
ticle on "Finesse of the Republican
party" giving an alleged quotation
from this paper in which we seemed to
have used that term in speaking OF the
party. The quotation was wrong. We
cannot say whether the editor of the
Advocate purposely misquoted us or
not. If he did his action is contempt
IDLE. We never used the word in that
sense. There are some rules in news
paper discussion which every honorable
man follows and one is not to misquote

Harlan Tribune on Conditions OF
Labor.

The Harlan Tribune evidently
thought that the Advocate needed some
help in its discussion with the REPUB
LIcAN over the question of the price Of
American machinery here and abroad
and is contributing to the discussion
Its latest offering is the informa
ton that since the debate begun the
Deering company has shut down, throw
ing 1000 workingmen out of employ
ment. The Tribune thinks it asks 0
poser when with flourish it asks how il
happens sin these times of piping pros
perity" that protected industry is
thus shut down.
We had not noticed that the Deering
company had shut down. The Trib-
une does not say whether the shut down
is likely to be of long or short dura-
ton, whether it was for the lack of
material, or lack of orders, or what the
trouble is. Neither does it state
whether in 1896 the Deering company
was running on full time, whether it
paid its workmen as much money as it
is paying in 1900, or how its business
compared that year with this year.
Indeed what it dosent say on the sub
ject is much more important than what
it does say.
AS the Tribune has thus introduced
the subject of the condition of labor
engaged in manufacturing we will say
we are we'll satisfied with its condi-
ton as compared with what it was I'M
der the last democratic administration,
or in 1896. The labor organizations of
the country report great increase in
wages and employment since then.
The iron and steel workers report their
wages increased II per cent. Machin-
lists are reported as wages increased
since 1896, 40 per cent. These are
workmen whose labor largely enter
ihbo bho IiuCulhco uhucI ulSCuooIon
Iron and steel, which largely entered
into the machines the Tribune refers
to, is increased in production in this
country from 5000, 900 tons to 13,0OO,-
COO in round numbers.
1t does not matter whether or not
that the Deering company is now shut
down, but it does matter good deal
that the manufacturing industries of
this country are dong about double
the amount of business they were in
1896. 1t means better market for
Iowa produce and that is perhaps one
reason why our corn which was selling
then at twelve cents now brings thirty,
and that cattle and hogs are also much
higher.
We presume the Tribune if it can
hear of another factory closing a few
days will parade the fact. 1t gives
isolated facts instead of general results.
1t catches at straws because they are all
that are within its reach.

President McKinley's letter of ac-
ceptance which came ont this week is a
statesmanlike, able and patriotic docu-
ment. 1t should be read by every
voter. 1t discusses all the leading
issues, but gives much attention to
what Bryan is pleased to call the par
amount one. His argument in favor
of the administrations position on the
Philippine question is conclusive and
unanswerable.

Last week we said we understood a
certain committee had authority to
name the democratic township ticket.
The Advocate evidently desiring to
take offense, does so at this, and init

If they are not, as the Advocate claims
then we regret their publication. But
in the mean time we wonder where the
