Subscribe for the Daily Democrat, and read the news every evening. Senator Turpie says that Bryan is a democrat and the greatest orator among English speaking people, not excepting Gladstone. Burke Cockran’s New York speech the other night was a rank fizzle, but he received $5,000 for theTeffort just the same. Comes high but we must have ’em. England will declare war on the United States in the event of Bryan’s election, so says an extract from the London News. Who would want better sport than that. We have licked ’em twice and can do it again if an opportunity is . afforded. Wells county democrats are predicting immense gains in their vote this fall. Among the republican converts, there is named Judge Wilson, who will take the stump for silver. He is one of the rock-ribbed republicans of the county and a very prominent and learned gentlemen. At a convention held at Portland one day last week, the republicans nominated J. W. Twible of Blackford, as their candidate for joint representative for the three counties, and Joseph Powers of Jay, for Jay and Adams. Accounts of the convention tailed to display much enthusiasm. The Journal editor is becoming famous as a curb stone politician. Hb*admits while in the profession that the papor dollar is good for one hundred cents because the government’s stamp is attached thereon, but the silver dollar with the same kind of a stamp is worth fifty cents. Consistency aud etc. President Cleveland named David R. Frances of Missouri, as the successor to Hoke Smith. The new Secretary of the Interior will assume the duties of the appointment on September Ist. He is an ex-governor of Missouri and a gold democrat, so we presume that the cabinet will bar moniously conduct the business of the nation.

Book man without work, do not be discouraged. You have the same right at the ballot box that the millionaire has. You and your children have as much to live for as he and his have. If you will only use your freedom by voting you may some day see your children raise above his. Let the money power spend what it will on you to influence your vote. Just walk up and vote your sentiments as a free man and free your self and yoiirs from that power. Do not be decieved into voting for less money. Vote for our money mines to open up sb your fellow men can get work.

The republicans have nominated Thornton J. Taylor of Jay county, as their candidate for prosecuting attorney for this judicial district. President-elect Bryan will favor Indiana with his presence some time in October,at which time our people may be able to see the talented statesman, orator and democratic standard bearer. There is no money in a daily paper in a town the size of Decatur, but if we can cover our weekly expenses with an income equally as much, we propose to give it to you. It will be strictly non-par-tisan and should be supported by every business man and citizen in the town. The editor of the Journal appeared on the streets last Saturday with Mexican silver dollars which he offered for sale at fiftyfive cents each. The boys bought all he had—ten, and Frank sneaked off, very conscious of the fact that he had made a public spectacle of himself, There is great argument in those silver dollars. Voter, you can depend upon one thing as certain, and that is that the kind of financial legislation wanted by the great money loaning power of England and Wall street, is not the kind that will be to your interest or to the interest of the people of the United States. Let us use a little common sense and admit all gold and silver money metal to free coinage into legal "tender money, and prosperity will be our reward. In the great struggle for the financial independence of our country, where the common people arrayed against the combined forces of the money power of the world, the trusts, coporations and all that tend to make the labor of this country on the plane of thej serfdom of the old country, we, as| the skilled and unskilled labor of the country, should give time, strength and vote on the side of the people by indorsing and working for the success of the free silver advocates, Bryan and Sewall. Admitting both gold and silver to be coined into legal tender mon ey is the only way to keep the two metals at a parity. One metal is at par with the other, when both are free to to be coined into legal tender money at a fixed ratio. Why vote against your own country having more and more absolute legal tender money? You who depend upon quantity of money for your salary, for your wages, for your wheat for your corn and your prosperity, and yet that is just what you do when you vote for the single gold standard.

On February 15, 1878, the following passed between Voorhees and Blaine: Mr. Voorhees—“l want to ask my friend from Maine, whom I am glad to designate in that way, whether I may call him as one more witness to the fact that it was not generally known whether silver was demonetized. Did he know, as speaker of the house, presiding at that time, that the silver dollar was demonetized in the bill to which he alluded?,” Mr. Blaine —“I did not know anything that was in the bill at all. As I have before said, little was known or cared on the subject, and now I should like to exchange questions with the senator from Indiana, who was then on the floor, and whose business it was formore than nine years to know, because by the designation of the house, I was •to put questions. Did he know?” Mr. Voorhees—“l very frankly say that I did not.” If the law of 1873 had demonei tized gold, leaving the sole | measure'of value in this country, what would be the price of gold bullion today? The chief difficulty in understanding the money question lies in the fact that, as gold is used as the sole measure of value, we’ unthinkingly claim all other property has depreciated. The familiar illustration of the rising IvaUoou is mos t^a]d i cy'”9»; r.The aeronaut, as his car is lifted in the air, experiences no motion of rising. So we, standing upon the ‘gold basis, imagine all other commodities are dropping in values. But the producers should exercise the same judgment the aeronaut does. He should stand upon the basis of his wealth, production, when, looking upward, he would see the gold ballon rising above him. He must have money, and buys it. With every addition to the list of gold-standard nations, gold rises and production falls. The system is inequitable arid dishonest. It prevents the proper distribution of wealth by permitting its absorption by non-produc-ers, the money-changers whom Christ drove from the temple.

The campaign opens in this county today, after which time the boys will .begin to draw the line and get down to business. Governor Matthews is “ferninst” the gold standard with vengence, and pours hot shot into the new and holy gold democratic party. The governor is right for once. McKinley’s letter of acceptance was given to the public yesterday. With his usual nerve he declares that the hard times are the result of the repeal of the tariff law which bore his name, and which has been repudiated time and timo again, by republicans and democrats alike. Free coinage of silver he says would do thecountry no good. The letter can hardly be called an able one, but it shows conclusively who controls him. He is mouthpiece of gigantic wealth, some of which was unjustly accumulated from his own tariff law. That the people should repudiate him need not be emphasized by usThe new Daily Democrat will appear Saturday. We hope to add several interesting features, the foremost among them being lots of news. It will be strictly non-partisan, confiningitselfstrictly to the publication of all the local and general news. John D. Heller will have charge of the circulation, and if you are not included upon the daily list of readers, give your name to him. Special attention will be given to the prompt and regular delivery of the paper every evening. No matter how far away from the business center you live, the paper will reach you safely every evening. Help the Daily along. A br aha m Lincoln said in speak - ing of the schemes of the money power. “I see in the near future a crisisthat unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated into a few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.” ■ ) Many goldites for the want of argument attack the plank in the Chicago platform which refers to the supreme court decision on the income tax, and these calamity howlers stand in amazement at the idea that a party platform should criticize the supreme court. Now we presume most of these fellows are ignorant of past platforms, and for their benefit we will quote from the republican platform of 1860. Now remember this was just after the supreme court had rendered the “Dred Scott decision.” Here it is: “We brand the recent reopening of the African slave trade under cover of our national flag, as did by perversions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity and a burning shame to our country and age, and we call upon congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic.” “Perversions of judicial power.” Great Scott, how dare you? And all this in a republican platform.

Bimetalism does not mean the use of two metals as currency, where one is simply the representative of the other. If it did our currency today would not be bimetallism, but multimetallism, for we use gold, silver, copper, nickel and paper. But all the forms of currency are based upon the one metal —gold—so our system is monometallic. Bimetallism means the concurrent use of two metals as a basis for currency issue, at a legalized ratio of parity. That is, the government establishes a money basis of gold and silver, recognizing their use as money on equal teimSTit agi f en rathr. In civ in g this it does not attempt to adjust a commercial value, leaving that for the natural law and supply to do. Neither does it agree to give one metal in exchange for the other at that or any other proportion. It simply declares what shall be understood as its money terms, and leaves the field where it is now in the banking and exchange business. The government is outside its proper function in becoming a bank of issue, whether directly or through the national banking system, its only true sphere toeing that of arbiter between its citizens in deciding what money is. Money, like grain, is private property and it is wrong for legislation, by altering the basis, to increase its value in other private property.
