which the color of silver can be chang

gold and silver are identically the
same, so under the Hunter process for
every dollar in silver we are promised
forty dollars in gold pure, genuine
gold
This ought to make the heart of
every gold bug and silver bug beat
high with happiness
Our gold bug friends swear 10y the
beard of the prophets that gold has
all intrinic value in itself that can
not be diminished, and we hope they
will not recede from this position and
will calmly permit all the silver in
the world to be converted into gold

itself we cannot have too much of it.

Mr.. BROWNS PLATFORM.
To the Editor of the Ocala Banner:

To the Editor of the Ocala Banner:
/ notice that Hon. G. NJ. Browns |

assume that criticism of so great !!
a public deliverance is admissible.
1t goes without saying that a candi-
date for so high an office would make
sach document public only after
careful preparation and mature re-
Election.
state paper this platform is faulty and
disappointing.
1t starts off badly and ends badly.
Mr.. Brown says:
al desire to begin my platform with
the great foundation stone of our coun-
try, our nation, our government
labor"
This is tautOlOgy in its worst form
and does violence To the simplest rules
of rhetoric.
Mr.. Browns peroration is the fol-
lowing:
"Then, upon these motives, Il in
woke the judgment of all mankind
and the gracious favor of Almighty
Cod"
This is misapplied quotation.
"Planks" in a platform are not "mo-
tives."
Aside from its literary breaks and i'll
elegances the platform is itself faulty.
For instance, speaking of the primary
election law, which Mr.. Brown favOrs
"until the end of time," he says it
"assures comfort To the people, consO-
lation to widows and refuge to or
phanage."
How in the world widow in her
| weeds, mourning for her loved and
lost, in her grief, can find consolation
in primary election law, especially
a. she is denied the privilege of east
ing ballot, will battle the comEre-
hensiOn of ordinary mOrtals.
take it that it will ne equally baf-
fiing To ascertain how the primary
election law can be made to serve as
an orphan asylum.
| Taken a. a who'll the platform an
tagOnizes nothing and is friendly to
everything.
1t is friendly to labor, friendly to
capital, friendly to the shipper, friend
ly to the railroads, friendly to the pay
ment of pensions, friendly to the pay
ment of debts, friendly to schools,
friendly to the primary election law,
friendly to the military, friendly to
hard roads and friendly to economy.
These are phrases that mean moth
ing and stand for nothing.
The candidate for office who would
openly proclaim that he is an enemy
to these things would be pronounced
rs having been built the wrong way,
as Sam Jones would say, from his eyes
up.
Besides, nearly all the things to
which Mr.. Brown alludes in his plat
form have long since become the set
tied policy of the party in power in
this state and there is no disposition
on the part of any faction within or
without the party to disturb them.
Mr.. Brown takes no position upon
any of the ISSUES that were uppermost
when he was elected to the senate, or
that have arisen since, unless it is the
taxing of franchises and / have heard
it asserted by those in position to
know that he voted against a propo-
sitiOn of this kind in his place in the
senate during the last session of the
legislature.
l am constrained to say that Sena-
tor Browns platform is not credita-
ole production for one seeking so high
an office.
The platform needs revising and
amending. Indeed, total abolition
and reconstruction would be helpfu
to il.
