Summer Meeting I. K. E. A.

The summer meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association will be held at Lafayette, Ind., Thursday, July 30th. The headquarters will be at the Hotel Lahr. Meetings will be held at the Lincoln Club building and the ladies of the party will be given an informal reception at the Lafayette Club rooms Thursday evening. The visit will include a trip to the Tippecanoe Battle Grounds, carriage diive to Soldiers' Home and a visit to Purdue University. Aside trip to the lakes is contemplated if this can be arranged in time.

"THERE'S a great deal of trubble in de lan'" for the Hoosier Democracy. W. D. Jiynum, in kicking over the traces, has plenty of company.

DANIKL W. LOCKWOOD, of Buffalo, X. Y., has joined the noble army of Democratic bolters, and announces that lie is opposed to the platform and the nominees of Chicago.

Tub opposition to the platform and ticket within the Democratic party itself is becoming so intense that one wonders how \t«ever became possible for a national convention of the party to make such a declaration as it did.

THE Democratic Louisville Times says that unless there is national organisation for its preservation and perpetuation the very name of Democrat will disappear from the land. The majority of the party now parading that title under false pretenses are Populists, and in the fullness of time will return to that preferred designation. Having first repudiated the principles, it is only a matter of a few years when they will discard the very name of Democracy.

GEN. FRANCIS A. WALKER, the ablest of the bimetallists in America, declared at the annual meeting of the Bimetallic League of Great Britain, as

Dr. Otto Arendt, the ablest of the bimetallists in Germany, had previously declared in the North American Review, that the adoption by this country of free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1, without waiting for the action of other countries, would and could have-but the one effect of maintaining in all other countries the gold standard unimpaired.

WHAT does the ratio of 10 to 1 mean?" There is no clearer definition than this, made in a business circular by a Philadelphia house: "It means that sixteen ounces of silver should be held for debt-paying purposes to be worth as much as one ounce of gold. One ounce of standard gold will coin in gold dollars $18.00. Sixteen ounces of standard silver will coin SIS.00 in silver dollars. These sixteen ounces of silver can be bought in the markets of the world to-day for §9.94. There would, therefore, be a profit of SS.00 on an investment of 89.94, being about 87 per cent., if a holder of silver could take it to the mint and coin it without charge into silver dollars. The advocates of free coinage favor a law that will allow any holder of silver bullion—or, in fact, silver of any kind (as the latter can readily be melted into bars) —the right to take the same to any mint of the United States and convert it into silver coin free of charge and force 53 cents' worth of it upon his creditors as a dollar."

IT will be noticed that the big papers that are bolting the Democratic ticket are mostly published in States which the Democratic party does not expect to carry this year. It will be the YVest and South against the East and North. —Argus-News.

There are two frank admissions in the above paragraph, though slightly contradictory. The leading Democratic papers of Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Florida, Louisiana and Alabama, have bolted the Democratic ticket, and according to the Argus-News the Democratic party does not expect to carry these States this year. The second admission is that the Democratic ticket is sectional—the West and South against the East and North. What has become of the great national Democratic party which used to boast that it knew no section.-'

GET in the band wagon, brother Bynum, get in the wagon or you will get lost. It's no use kicking any longer. We know where you stand but opposition now is out of date. Jump in and help carry the state. Right or wrong the masses are behind the silver movement and no power on earth con withstand them.—ArgusNews.

The political morals of the ArgusNews has reached a low ebb, indeed, when it asks a man to surrender his convictions of what he conceives to be right«and endorse that which he believes to be wrong. The Argus-News may eat crow and imagine it is palatable, but all men are not weather cocks to be swayed by the winds of false doctrine.

IT is altogether more than likely that while a number of Democratic papers have bolted the ticket, their loss will be more than offset by the gain of a number of Western States that have heretofore been solidly for the Republican ticket.—Argus-Neivs.

Outside of the States where the bananza silver kings own the newspapers there has not been a Republican newspaper that has bolted the St. Louis platform or ticket, while the bolting Democratic papers from the Chicago platform and ticket are numbered by the score all over the country outside of the silver produciug States. The preponderance of the oilset seems to be on the olher side.

FREE coinage of silver will not start a single loom or light a single forge. Lack of confidence in the stability of markets and values as a result of the populistic threats against our currency system and a tariff law that discriminates against American industry and turns the balance of foreign trade against us .prevent our money from getting into the channels of trade. What we need is a protective tariff that will stimulate capital to invest in the gainful occupations and to employ men in the productive industries. Idle men and idle money in the handi of capitalists are the legitimate results of the Wilson-Gorman tariff idea and populistic threat to debase our currency.

THERE is plenty of money in the country. It is the best money in the world. The banks are full of it, anxious to loan it at a low rate on good security. Xon only are the vaults of American banks filled with idle money, but the English banks are glutted with gold waiting American investment. There is now on deposit in the Bank of England alone more than 8250,000,000 more money than was lying there nine months ago, and the sum is steadily increasing.

WE have plenty of money. We have coined over 600,000,000 silver dollars, but they are not all in circulation. They will not be in circulation until the Populistic platform is disposed of in November and a tariff policy adopted that will put new life into the productive industries which were smitten with the Gorman-Wilson paralysis three years ago.

THE Chronicle, the only Democratic paper in Chicago, contains the following editorial: "George Fred Williams, of Massachusetts, seconding the nomination of the boy orator to be President of the United States, said: 'What we want is an other Cicero to stand against the Catalines.' "George Fred Williams evidently forgot that the Cicero in his youth ac' cepted no pay for his services. Per haps the boy orator of the Platte will explain, before he is elected President of the United States, in whose pay he Has been since he was dropped out of Congress. A man without visible means of support, the public advocate of a private monopoly, needs to make such an explanation."

The story which prompts this is one which is in circulation here upon the authority of Congressman George McClellan, of New York, who is reported to have said that since he left Congress Mr. Bryan has been in the employ of a silver smelting syndicate to agitate the silver cause, and that for this work he has received several thousand dollars a year.

This statement is being given wide publicity, and so far has gone without denials.

The Philadelphia Iw/uircr states it tersely and vigorously thus: "The Jacobin programme is the programme of the new Democracy. Wealth comes, they claim, not by industry, intelligence and perseverance, but by the mere fiat of Congress. They propose to overthrow the foundations of society, to destroy the vested rights of property, to deprive the laboring man of a chance to toil, and rob him of one-half of what he may be able to earn. They propose free trade, free silver, fiee riot, free hell."

IT is properly pointed out that "as a matter of fact silver is behind seven other mineral products of the United States in value. We produced in 1895 soft coal to the value of about $110,000,000, pig iron §105,000,000, anthracite coal SS2,000,000, petroleum §57,000,000, gold §47,000,000, copper 838,000,000, and building stone §34,000,000, while the real value of the silver produced was §31,000,000. The value of the silver output was but oneeighteenth of the total mineral production."

THE sooner the idea that the Chicago convention was not a Democratic one is dropped the better.—Argus-News.

When all the leading Democratic papers of the country are denouncing it as a Populist convention it will be hard to eliminate the "idea" from the minds of the people. Would a simon pure Democratic convention have denounced itB own President as did this Populistic gathering?

PASS a law that a bushel of wheat shall always be the equuivalent of §1 in gold. Then let the production of wheat increase 480 per cent., or to, say, 2,500,000,000 bushels. Would there be in any wheat market of the world buyers crazy enough to purchase it at the arbitrary legal valuation? If not in wheat, why in silver?

THE greatest cnrtailment in the history of the textile industry of Xew England is now taking place, about 5,000,000 spindles in the cotton-goods industry alone. Mill men say that this action is necessary, as they are carrying large stocks due to overproduction, which cannot be disposed of except at ruinous prices.

THE value of the silver produced in the Uuited States lastyear was§35,000,000. In order to make the mine owners a present of §35,000,000 more the free silver maniacs propose to wipe out 5:500.000,000 of the currency.

THIS country is not to be ruled by either Wall street or Silver Gulch, but by the great majority of intelligent, conservative home holders, who owe allegiatce to neither faction of the extremists.

WAYNKTOWN.
