For the Farmers to Decide.

BY the best figures obtainable il
appears that the farmers of the
country paid over $500, 900, 900 in
the shrinkage in the value of their
live stock alone as a part of the
price of the election to the presi-
dancy of Grover Cleveland on a
Free Trade platform of 1892. Most
of this loss they have made good
since Free Trade received a knock
out blow in 1895 and Protection
returned to its own again. If the
farmers have more money and
more prosperity now than they
want and would like to get rid of
some of it, the surest way in the
world is vote for Bryan and Free
Trade this fall. 1t wouldn't take
long under Bryan and Free-Trade
Tor live stock to become of as lit
tie value as it was in the days of
Cleveland. But if, on the other
hand, the farmers of the country
want to keep what they have and
add to it, they need to stanl by
the policy which gives the Ameri.
can market to the American peo-
pie, and which, by bringing work
and money and prosperity to the
industrial workers of the country,
creates a strong home demand fol-
the products of the farm.-Econo.

After the election of 1896 and
almost up to the date of the Kansas
City convention, the Bryanites
maintained that the silver question
was the all-important issue, and
that it could not be called settled
until it was settled right. Some
of our Democratic exchanges, for
four years, until recently, carried
at the head of their editorial col
umns the motto, Free Silver or
Bust" In view of the fact that
our Democratic friends hAye sud.
denly suspended all discussion OF
the old ''paramount'' issue we may
take our choice of two conclusions
presented in the situation, that
they have finally confessed the
coinage question settled right, o,
that the party has s'busted."

Chairman Jones of the National
Democratic Committee is deter
mined to conduct the party's
campaign along the lines of anti
imperialism, enthusiastically informs
the Populist wing of the Bryanite
fusionists that it can take its money
issues and go to, if it does not like
the way Democrats are running
things. The meaning of this plan
is clear. If Bryan should be
elected it is intended by the Demo
Gratis to ignore the Populists in the
distribution of the Offices.

The paramount" Maker.

Bryan has been identified with
three ''paramount'' issues, to
which he has, with all due solemn
ity dedicated his life, and pledged
his powers to engraft upon the ma
tional legislation of the country.
When in the Fifty-second Con-
gress, nine yearsago, he was an ar
dent champion of free trade. in a
speech, long and brilliant, he de-
clared that ga protective tariff was
conceived in greed and fashioned in
iniquity, false in economy and the
most vicious political principle
that ever cursed this country -
Yet a protective tariff, bill was
passed by the first Congress and
approved by Washington. Bryan
further declared that he would
fight the protective system as long
as there was anything to remedy.
The struggle between protection
and free trade went against him.
The people repndiated free trade
and Bryan dropped it. 1t was not
wise to paramount" free trade
when it would not make votes.
Four years ago, realizing that
he must paramount" something
else, he took up silver and work
ed it with all the force of his elo-
quence. That in turn was repu.
dated by the people and dropped
by Bryan. All his wild prophe.
sizes have been proven to be false by
the prosperous facts of recent .ex.
1 perience.
Tbis year, he concluded to lei
free trade alone, touch lightly or
free silver and paramount" i'm
perialism, and he is working it il
tho same prophet promising, 'reck

less fashion. In opposing protec'
ton he denounced Washington, in
advocating free silver he ran coun.
ter to all financial experience, in
opposing expansion he reflects on
Jefferson. After few more cam
paigns he may possibly get into
line and strike something that is
right, but at present there is a
big dent in the public confidence as
to the accuracy of his prophetic
powers and as to his leaderlike
ability.

With the right kind of a man
as their nominee for Congress the
chance for the Republicans to de.
feat the Hon. Edward Robb in this
district will be better than a mere
possibility. There are several can
didates mentioned for the Republi.
can nomination, which will be made
at Bonne Terre tomorrow, John H
Reppy, of Jefferson County; Hon
John H. Raney, of Wayne County
and Prof. w. H. Lynch, Of Wright
County. The latter seems to be
the favorite.

A Democrat, in conversation
with other Democrats over county
politics a few days ago, was
heard to remark that, ''If it
were not for the damphool Repub-
licans scratching their tickets, we
would not get anything" This
remark would make good Repub-
lican watchword in the present
campaign.

Pointed Paragraphs.

During the last Democratic ad-
ministration the dinner pail of the
workingman was usually filled with
food for reflection.
The immigration figures indi-
cate that the foreigners seeking
new homes are not the least bit in
iuenced by the Democratic pre-
dictions of the destruction of the
republic.
Unless there is free ballot aud
a fair count and an acquiesceBce
in the result Of elections, Repub-
lie cannot live. In South Carolina
there is not q free ballot. In louis
lana there is not a fair count and
in Kentucky there is not acquies-
cence in the results of elections.
Yet the party whose strength in
Congress depends on such methods
is now posing us the friend of free
dom xnd the savior of free institu-
tions.
The wool growers and sheep
raisers have benefited IA unparaAel-
ed degree by the return of a pro-
teobive tariff. During 3 Democrat
ic administration ana the Wilson
tariff medium wool sold for Is
cents per pound, in 1896. Dur.
ing Mckinley and a protective
tariff medium wool sold, in 1899,
for 81 cents per pound. In short
the wool producers almost doubled
the price of their wool under q
protective tariff.

tbs Real Creditor Class.

The silver orators from Bryan
down are never tired of reiterating
that the gold standard is establish
ed solely in the interest of the cred
itor class, who want whatever is
due them paid in the best and high
est kind Of money. They assume
that thedebtor class is the poor who
owe money, and that the creditor
class is the rich to which money is
always due. On this ground they
endeavor to foment hatred and bit
terness among the the poor against
the rich, and to array class against
class andemploye against employer.
To stir up such jealousies and ha-
treds opens the road to anarchy,
and anarchy leads to the destruc-
tion of government.
But it is not true that the poor
are the debtor class. and the rich
the creditor class. AS a matter
of fact the great majority of peo-
pie belong to both classes, having
money coming to them from one
direction and having to pay it out
in another. 1t is. therefore, diff
ficult to draw any hard and fast
line to separate the debtors from
the creditors. But if there is
creditor class in this country a
set of people to whom that desig-
nation is peculiarly applicable, it
is not composed of the men who
handle large sums of money and
who are engaged in carrying on
great enterprises. They, for the
most part, are debtors.
The real creditor class is compos-
ed of working men and women, of
employees in every walk of bust
ness, of salaried people, and Of de-
positors in banks, especially de-
positors in savings banks. These
are the men and women to whom
money is always due and who are
entitled, if anybody in all the
world is, to the best and most
stable money that can be devised.
A fuctuating money, varying in
value from time to time, is to them
a condemnation of poverty and
loss.
A working man, no matter what
his labor may be, who starts to work
on Monday morning, is credit
or at nightfall for the amount of
his days wages, and at the end of
the week he is a creditor for six
days pay. Whether a man works
by the day, by the week, by the
month, or BY the year, he is a
creditor, for he must give his
services first.
But above all it is the savings
bank depositor who is the chief o1
creditors, and who is laying ut
his money for "a rainy day" should
when he comes to draw it out, have
just as good money paid as he de-
deposited. 10 these creditors who
are saving day by day their hard,
earned wages and salaries, Bryan
ism and Is to would be disaster
ruin, and despair.
