Politioiims of the Republican pursuasion from (liferent sections of the state in consultation, have decided that the main issue in the campaign shall be the silver issue, "without entering into the discussion of the war administration or any other question." It is not to be presumed that the "silver issue" is to bo the only issue, however ardently the Republican party may desire only one issue. But if the Democratic party should deem it prudent to accomodate the Republican party in this regard, sufficient facts will be submitted to the people on the silver issue, to make the situation exceedingly interesting to the gold staudard "sound money" Pnilistines.

In the outset the inquiry, what is meant by "sound money?" is pertinent and exceedingly perplexing to the Republican parry. The most distinguished men of the party, in answering the question, are driven nolens volens by the constitution and the laws enacted in conformity with the constitution, as also the history of the government since its foundation down to 1S73, $o admit that "sound money" is coin, and that the term "coin" rolates to silver dollars as certainly as to gold •dollars. Hence, silver dollars are "sound money," and every effort of the

Republican part^, since 1S73, to rob silver dollars of their right to be regarded as "sound money," have utterly failed.

Necessarily the dismission of the "silver issue" requires reference to the financial policy of the Republican fraud •upon the people perpetrated in 1 S7o, intended to establish the gold standard, and which, discarding the government ontion to pay government obligations, principal and interest, in gold and silver, and paying tliem in gold, practically did establish the gold standard, but always in derogation of the welfare of the people and the rights of silver— bnt, as has been remarked, never for an hour making fhe silver dollar less than sound money.

In 1S09 an act was passed to "strengthen the public credit," which the Republican p'U'ty hoped would discredit silver as "sound money, bnt instead, the act confirmed the sojmd money quality of silver, by making all the obligations of the government, the payment of which in the absence of a stipulation to pay in "lawful money or other currency," should bo paid in "coin" or gold and silver.

In this very act designed to strengthen the public credit, silver, as sound money, was explicitly declafod. The next move was to pass an act providing for the resumption of specie payments, and authorizing the secretary of the treasury to redeem United States notes in "coin," or in gold and silver. Hero again the "sound money" quality of silver dollars was declared. But the gold standard advocates, as persistent as everv sought to have tho term "coin" expunged from the bonds of the government and tho word "gold" substituted. It was a desperate move and, had they succeeded, silver would have fallen to almost helpless degredation and would have ceased to be "souud money." But they did not succeed. On the contrary, they met with a Waterloo defeat, as is shown by the following joint resolution passed by congress in 1878, live years subsequent to the fraud perpetrated in 187ii:

That all of the bonds of the United States issued, or authorized to be issued, under the said acts of congress herein before recited, are payable, principal and interest, at the option of the government of tho United States, in silver dollars, of the coinage of the United States, containing 112£ grains uioh of standard silver and that to restore to its coiuage such silver coins as a legal tender inpayment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation ot the public faith, nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor.

Here again the "sound money" quality of silver dollars was specifically' recognized by congress, a fact which no Republican will dare to contradict. It is a fortress of truth, which has withstood and will continue to resist every attack made upon it. But, again on the "sound money" issue about which liepublicans anticipate an easy victory, it is worth while to state that on Feb. 28, 1879, an act of congress was passed relating to the coiuage of silver dollars, and reads as follows:

That there snail be coined, at the several mints of the United States, silver dollars of the weight of 412£ grains troy of standard silver, as provided in the act of Jan. 18, 1837, on which shall be the devices and superscriptions provided by said act which coins, together with all silver dollars heretofore coined by tho United States, of like weight and fineness, shall be a legal tender, at their nominal value, for all debts and dnes, public and private, except where otherwise expressly stipulated iu the contract. And the secretary of the treasury is authorized and directed to purchase, from time to time, silver bullion, at the market price thereof, not less than $2,000,000 worth per month, nor more than $4,000,000 worth per month, and cause the same to be coined monthly, as fast as so purchased, into such dollars. 'this testimony is absolutely conclusive. By the aots of congress the silver dollar is as sound as the gold dollar or any other gold coin. It is a legal tender inall oases where gold is a legal tender. It is not redeemable in gold, and at the legal ratio of 16 to 1 possesses all the debt paying qualities claimed for gold. More oould be said along this line of fact and argument, but enough has been said to utterly oonfuse and confoand Republicans, who may havs the gall and guile to attempt to sho-vr

that tho silver dollar now in circulation is not every whit as sound, as firmly established as coin, as iixed in tho confidence of r!v American people as are the 'k ciir. ,nt' the govevnmey t.

It wili be well if the people bear these facts irs mind when Republicans seek to mislead them with regard to what constitutes "sound money," and to ask them to explain in what regard gold possesses soundness which does not equally attach to silver? It is one of the inquiries they will not answer by facts, and which they cannot answer by argument. Instead of one or the other they resort to word jugglery about gold pari.'v, foreign countries, tho "oO-cent dollar" and other twaddle with which they hope to contuse the subject and perpetnare the reign of the Republican party. Bat the rank and file of the people, who see little gold and vastly more silver, are becoming satisfied that their interests can be greatly promoted by the coinage of more silver dollars, and that the prosperity of the country cannot be established upon an enduring bases by a financial policy which seeks to strike down and degrade one-half of the coin currency of the nation.

United Stiites Not Entirely Unselfish. Will ISe No Division of Democrats In lutHaiia This Ye nr.

The campaign of 1S96 was in all regards a notable event in American politics. It was practically a siugle issue campaign, which may bo variously stated without doing violence to history. It was a campaign of bimetallism against monometallism, a campaign of Democracy against plutocracy, a campaign of the silver dollar against the single gold standard and a campaign of America against England and all foreign nations which seek to shape the financial policy of the United States of America.

It was a notable campaign in other regards. To defeat the honestly expressed will of the American people, a huge corruption campaign fund was created by the liberality of trusts and placed in the hands of Marcus Aurelius Ilanna, a political knave, for distribution "where it would do the most good." That is to say, whero its debauching influence would secure the largest number of votes for McKiuley. And that its potency was all that was expected by those who supplied the money, goes without the saying. History repeats itself. The campaign of 1898, though not "national" in the sense that the campaign of 1896 was national, is lieverthe less, national, because it is a campaign in which bimetallism—silver and gold, free and unlimited coiuage of silver vs. demonetizatic.n—and the United States against dictation from any foreign power relating to our financial policy is up for debate and decision at the polls.

We have heard much of late of England's anxiety to form some sort of an alliance with the United States, upon the theory that the two nations, banded together, would be able to sway a scepter of universal empire. England cares nothing about, our form of government, nothing whatever, whether it is democratic or plutocratic she simply wants to know if the financial policy of the country is in consonance with her views upon that important subject. If the United States, under the sway of British influence and British gold, creates and maintains the gold standard, British statesmen discover that one fact that the United States has yielded to her superior will, and that being ONE on the gold staudard question, the chief obstacle to some other form of alliance is removed, and evidently looks forward with serene coinplaicencv to a time when our Benedict Arnolds will stand forth as the chiefs of our trusts and syndicates when they exploit their views in and out of congress, and British spies, instead of being arrested and hung, will continue their quest for American girls, the daughters ot our Arnolds, and carry their matrimonial swag to England to build and repair castles and bring tho two nations into such harmonious relaunder the gold staudard, that in case of an election of a president, the Rothchilds and British lords, barons aud other titled aristocrats will contribute as liberally to a corruption fund as any of the pards of Ilanna, or any ot the pets of the Dingley law.

It were supreme folly to miuce matters. The patriotic men of the United States are engaged in a war of emancipation from British domination, HI shaping a financial policy, a policy ruinous to the producing classes lu oountry, and which, as has been repeatedly declared in congress and out congress by capable men, as a policy which plaoes the liberties of the people and oar free institutions in peril. It- is known, and has been repeatedly declared, that those who are working to permanently establish the gold standard in the United States are cheek bv jowl, hand in hand, with the mouev barons of Englaud and are, therefore, obnoxious to the charge of being American tories working to establish British supremacy iu our financial policy, to create and perpetuate a gold Btandard, as treasonable to the welfare of oar peopleas if, the "demand were made to tear from its anchorage the constitution and substitute for it an edict of the autocrat of Russia. What is there to prevent the consummation of a scheme so nefarious in its woof and warp? The answer is, nothing under heaven bat the patriotism, the integrity, the independent spirit and intelligeno* of the American people.

It were folly to deny that in 1896 a large number of Democrats in Indiana

abandoned the Democratic party. They had been good and true and strong and trusted Democrats. They were, doubtless, conscientious and believed that they were acting for the b'est, at least such is the generou* theory of thousands of their old comrades, who, as Joseph E. McDonald was wont to say, "have fought a hundred battles for the Democratic party, and never one against it." And now, if reports are true, thousands of these Democrats who wandered away are coming back to the old fold. Nothing could be more natural, or more in keeping with the eternal fitness of things. They have found the Republican camp unhealthy, as pestilential and objectionable as Colonel Studebaker's description of Camp Tampa.

As a campaign manager they cannot indorse Mark Hanna, aud as for McKiuley, his piety is as full of blowholes as Carnegie's armorplates. Memories of the good old Democratic ships, on whoso quarterdeck Jefferson and Jackson had walked in command, was too sacred to be thrown into the limbo of Republican odds and ends, and 1,000 times, doubtless, during their captivity they remembered the old battleship bearing the "Flag of the free hearts' hope and home," cleared for action and bearing down upon the enemy, and recalled the shouts of Democratic hosts as victory after victory was gained for good government, thoy have resolved to return to their old home, and who so blind and bigdted as to say them, "nay." Not one, let themcoine to swell the chorus, when iu fancy the good old ship, that has withstood the gales and the billows is seen with vision almost divine, and when Democratic hosts in chorus, exclaim: vS.-AVc know what muster l.-iid thy keel.

M'XIRLEY AND ALGER

LATTER'S MANAGEMENT OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT

Prinlurt ivu '»l Cyclone* of National Infliurnation Ri-usotis Why the President A j)i»i'i u*d Him Secret ury of War, Know* in fit** Ut'cortl That on Fi!«* Against (ieiHTiii A'^er Now In tho Archive* oi (he Government.

The management of the war depart rnent, under the official control of Secretary Alger, lias been productive of cyclones of national indignation such as the country never before experienced.

To shield General Alger a heartless clique, aided by a subsidized press, has been engaged iu extenuating the criminal blunders of the war department. The facts set forth embody a series of horrors which have become more appalling the more the misguided friends of Alger have sought to obscure them. The ictiotic subterfuge, that the arraignment of Alger and the war department, originated in malice, a purpose to make political capital out oi conditions which have shocked the country iroui center to circumference, has had he illeet to still further intensify the uiuvi rsal conviction, that thousands of liver- and unlold sufferings have resulteii rrom ignorance, neglect, red tape, stupidity, cupidity aud the general demoralization of the war department.

In this connection an appeal is made to history tn show that Gene..,l Alger ought not tn nave bee.i made "«ucreiary of war. was a general ui the civil war, and, upon a grave charge, was subjects.I to arraignment before a cimrimartial which sentenced him to be discharged from the army, or, in other words, •'recommended" that he should be discharged from the army. The fact stanu^ us a part of Alger's army record. Tins one black aud "damned spot." has not been expunged, and those wm constituted the court and rendered tue verdict- refuse to change it or intimate thai it was less than just.

President McKinley knew all the facts. Tne records were at his command, and yet he took tho responsibility of piacing this man with a tarnished military record, this man whom a court-martial recommended should be discharged from the army of tho United States, and placed him where he could once more commit still graver offenses, and extort from tho high court ot public opinion the verdict that he ougnt, never to have been made secretary ot war and tjjgj he ought to be dismissed from the offlooT"

President McKinley is alone responsible tor the appointment cf General Alger as secretary of war. The mere faot that the souate confirmed the appointment cuts no figure in the shameful business, and it is bnt justice to say tbat whatever wrongs have been committed by the war department under Alger's administration McKiuley is antly responsible, iu toot, primarily responsible, because, with his eyes wide open, and with Alger's leopard record before him, he placed him in command of the dep&tment.

In investigations relating to great crimes one supreme purpose on the part of courts, attorneys and the people i6 to find a motive for their commission, and the quest is seldom abortive, hence the query: What was McKinley's motive in selecting Alger to be his secretary of war There is not the remotest probability that McKinley will ever disclose his reason for an act that to others is utterly inexplicable. Nevertheless, the people will investigate as best they may and arrive at such conclusions as surface indications make plausible.

General Alger is reputed to be a man of large wealth. To elect McKinley president required a corruption fund of

astouuding proportions, running up into the millions. The colossal knaves who solicted the funds with which to debauch the election oS 1896, had to appeal to men of large wealth, and to secure contributions was required to pledge rewards. Some were secured by tho promise of rewards through the operations of a high protective tariff, by which all the tooney subscribed to debauch the nation would be returned to them by a robber fcarilT, suah as the Dingley law. Others were promised contracts by which they might rob the government-, others by appointment of favorites to fat offices. But in the case of Alger, if he subscribed liberally, as he doubtless did, what could Mark Hanna promise him that would induce him to bleed freely? He was liviug, aud was distaiued to die with a blotched military record aud a damaging verdict attached to it. And he was doubtless promised as a reward for his contribution, the office of secretary of war. In that position he would outrank the military officers who had recommended his dismissal from the American army—a disgrace he had been required to wear for many years. He secured the coveted boon, and when the war opened with Spain, began to exhibit his incapacity which finally resuited in such a multitude of horrors as to defy exaggeration.

He stemmed the tide and faced the storm as long as he could. The miserable twaddle about "yellow journalism" and "irresponsible newspaper reports" failed to meet the demand. The recitation of stale history about sufferings in other wars, historic and prehistoric, instead of being apologies for the horrors which the war with Spain presented, only intensified the nation's detestation of Alger's administration of the war department, iu which McKinley and Alger are jointly responsible.

If Alger is responsible for the acts of incompetent suoordiuates, McKinley is equally responsible for tho appointment oc an incompetent secretary of war, who is his subordinate. If it is affirmed that Alger should have appointed competent men, it is equally, indeed, more important that McKinley should have appointed a competent secretary of war. Iu this, it is seen that the original blunder was made by the president. And thus it happens, that owing to MaKiulev's blunder in appointing Alger secretary of war, horrors have followed horrors, as waves follow wa-ves in a storm.

A commission to investigate those horrors ha been appointed—McKinley could no longer withstand the pressure. The exasperation of the people had reached a white iieat, and, after weeks of delay, it is possible that the real culprits will be whitewashed, while some obscure scapegoats will be found to sink beneath a burden ot obloquy which should have been eternally '.listened upon the backs of others.

1

There is a disposition to shield McKinley, but the administration of the war department is a part of his administration. The faults are not all Alger's, however incompetent he may be. He acted under the directions of the president. Of himself he could do nothing, aud Washington letter writers for Republican papers grow eloquent as tliey state the instances in which Alger's recommendations were ignored by McKinley. The two men are indissolubly joined together, they are the Siamese twins of war—they must hang together —ami, as the investigation proceeds, the more it will be -seen that, as an incapable. McKiuley is tuliy abreast of his secretary of war.

iiiai the war upon silver is dictated by guldbugs wno desire to control the finances ot the country fov their own selfish ends, a species of piracy all the more dangerous and nefarious, because of the intention to legalize the infamy.

That the battle now on for the free and unlimited coinage of silver is not only wise as a financial theory, but mvolves the perpetuity ot the liberty of the people and of our free institutions.

Keep it before the people that the be-t-tle now on lor the tree aud unlimited coiuage of silver is a battle for the right and will be lought out to the bitter end regardless of cousequeucea.

The man who breaks in the wild, vicious bronchos on the western plains must have superb physical endurance, nerves of .steej, unconquerable vim, determination and persistency. The

city or town bred man who has all his life humped his back over a desk, living an unhealthy, sedentary lifp and failed to take any care of his health, could not stay on the back of one of these vicious brutes for more than three jumps.

It takes a whole man to conquer a vicious animal. People maytalk about intellectual superiority and refinement and good breeding, but every man takes off his hat to physical strength and endurance. While the man who leads a sedentary life cannot hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdymen of the plains, they can be sound, vigorous, healthy men if they will. It is a matter of care of health while one has it, and the proper measures to restore it when it is lost. Most diseases begin with some trouble of the digestive organs or of the liver. Troubles of this nature starve the body, because they prevent it from receiving its proper supply of nourishment. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a man an appetite like a cow-boy's and the digestion of an ostrich. Its great work is upon the stomach, large intestines and liver. These are the organs that nourish a man's body. This medicine makes them strong, vigorous and healthy. It fills the blood with the nourishment that builds new, solid and healthy flesh, muscle and nerves.
