Speaker Cannon and His Free Silver Re.
cord by the Side of His Stump Talk
The lovable "Uncle Joe" Cannon was
also unworthy of himself when he rang
the changes, as he did for an hour
or more, over the claim that the Demo
cratic party had gone wrong on the
Silver Question and therefore ought to
be voted down.
If this were true it would prove that
MIR. Cannon himself ought to be retired
to private life-which would be seri
GUS loss to our public service-because
few men in any party have been so
much and SO thoroughly wrong on the
silver question as he has He was one
of BANDS original allies in the cause
of free silver, voted in Congress for the
Bland Bill, voted to pass it over Hayes
veto, and in 1898, voted and fought
against the repeal of the silver pur.
chase law.
Better play fair, even on the stump
Uncle Joe. The truth is, both parties
have been wrong on the silver question
if the free silver idea was wrong: The
Republican platform of 1888, drafted
by Mckinley, denounced Grover Cleve
land for his opposition to free silver
and that issue, which was worked to
the utmost in the West, elected Harri.
son. Every line of law enacted in favor
of silver for 30 years was of Republican
writing.
AS long as the question has been
settled by the discovery of new gold
fields unexpectedly increasing gold pro.
duction more than four-fold, it is time
for both parties, in view of the record
of both, to drop it.

It Is Safe To Saw

That no one who doesn't want to be
fooled will be fooled by the shouting
that few of the men owning interests
in the trusts-The New York Tribune
has managed to count up just forty-six
of them out of some thousands-are
Democrats or supporters of Parker.
If the next town meeting should vote
to make you or me present of $4,000
doubtless we would take it.
If, then, we were right-minded enough
to advise the town not to continue thus
to throw away the peoples money to en-
rich US, there would be just as much
sense in using this advice as an argu-
ment for the continuance of the robbery
as there is in the talk of the Tribune
Co. about the position of Mr.. Belmont
Mr.. Harrison and other such gentlemen

effort which was highly complimented.
Mr., Knox has not been mentioned

an interesting address. His text was
taken from Rev. 20: IL.
Rev. Rus Raulston, OF Battle Creek,
then spoke briefly, dwelling upon the
occasion OF the service, and referring to

Monday, May SOtb, 1904, may be long

the visitors were phenominally few.
About noon, however it frightened up
some which gave several courage to
start, and at2;l5 p. NJ. the program was
carried out at tho Town Hall, as an
nounced last week to small but at
tentive audience.
The singing by the choir was excel
