NOVEL TOURISTS.

The following shows the trade

transportation facilities, and would
almost make the old fishers of past
generations, who sleep under the sod
of old Barnstable and the Cape Cod
coast, turn over in their graves. In
their day the only route fol hall
but to make the trip from the Pacific
to Boston was by way of the north
west passage, round the Horn, or in
later days, if inclined to have an in
land voyage and fresh water expert
ence, he would steer for the Missis-
sippi; then up as far as the mouth of
Illinois; up that river to LaSalle
thence by canal to Chicago, and from
that village proceed on tour of the
Lakes, and, after another canal cpl
sode, enter the st Lawrence. Then
the way to Boston and market is
settled. Under the present dispen-
sation he becomes modern tourist
arriving at his destination quietly,
quickly and in a manner devoid of
ancient adventure, and this is the
latest method.

Ward Beecher, the great preacher,
did not feel that he was disgracing
his calling or the cloth by advocat-
ing the cause of human rights and
liberty, and stood before bowling
English mobs in London, raising his
eloquent voice for the cause of his
country. Coming down to the last
war with Spain it is an open Sc
cret that Pauncefote, English am
bassador to this country, in Wash
ington in April, 1898, proposed to the
other representatives of European
powers that the powers represented
by them be asked to join in protest,
the substance of which was to de-
clare ''That United States interven-
ton in Cuba did not appear to them
to be justified" All these facts are
suggestive that of the fact that cir
cumstances alter cases, to err is hE-
man, to forgive divine. But we
have been turning the other cheek so
long and so often, that possibly an
attack IN the rear may be needed to
rouse that dignity that demands re-
spect.

The Post, of Paris, Idaho, last

remarks:
Assassins Of ones reputation, are
more dangerous than highwaymen
who stop people on the road and
steal their purses or kill them if they
refuse to deliver up their valuables.

Is told them-they magnify the story
and pass it along in much more
aggravated form. An idle remark
made by some one concerning an
other, will be repeated as circum-
stantial story, and on its second or
third repetition it is narrative of
misdoings that brands the accused
person as an abandoned character.
Moreover, as the story proceeds on
its pestilential way, every assurance
is given by those giving it circula-
ton that they have ample proof that
it is really worse than represented.

as in all subsequent periods of the

of every community comes from the
fact that so many people have not

PLANK OF 1896.
The republican party is unreserve0lv
for sound money. 1t caused the enact
ment Of the law providing for the re-
sumption OF specie payments in 1879;
since then every dollar has been as good
as gold. We are unalterably opposed TO
every measure calculated to debase our
currency or impair the credit of our
country. We are, therefore, opposed to
the free coinage OF silver, except by in
ternational agreement with the leading
commercial nations of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, and I'M
til then the existing gold standard must
be maintained at parity with gold and
we favor all measures designed to main
tain inviolably the obligations of the
United States and all our money, whether
coin or paper, at the present standard,
the standard of the most enlightened
nations Of the earth
PLANK OF 1900.
We renew our allegiance TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF THE GOLD STAND
ARD and declare our confidence
in the wisdom of the legisla-
ton of the Fifty-sixth congress by which
the parity of all our money and the sta
billty of our currency on gold basis
has been secured. We recognize that in
terest rates are potent factor in produc-
ton and business activity, and for the
purpose of further equalizing and further
lowering the rates of interest, we favor
such monetary legislation as will enable
the varying needs of the season and of
sections to be promptly met in order that
trade may be evenly su. tanned, labor
steadily employed and commerce en-.
larged. The volume of money in circu-
lation was never so great per capita as 1t
is today
WE DECLARE OUR STEADFAST
OPPOSITION TO THE FREE AND
UNLIMITED COINAGE OF SILVER.
No measure to that end could be consid-
cred which was without the support of
the leading commercial countries of the
world.

protestations Of friendship for silver
were being made for the purpose of

the time was ripe, to fix the gold
standard upon the people. Now that
such power has been secured that de.
