leper has certainly been cleansed! Up to date there has been no cure for “leprousy” but in this free silver year of 1896 the Democrat seems to attempt in several ways to do what has neyer been accomplished before. It is succeeding admirably. It trades Carlisle for Stewart without a quiver of conscience. Anothek democratic lie is ex ploded. Local democrats who read nothing but the Indianapolis Sentinel were in glee yesterday over the alleged flopping of several well known republican politicians at Clay City, some of whom are per sonnlly known here. These gentlemen in a card to the Journal deny the slander. Thus is the Sentinel's record for truth again smashed. Bocrkk Cockkan in Madison Square Carden, was cheered by 15. 000 people all waving American flags. This, while the speaker was talking for America, looks very much like Americans are for

said metal, with the certainty that it would not continue to pass at par. The sentiment in favor of the gold standard does not include a purpose or wish to introduce a new state of things—to drive silver out of circulation and compel the ex elusive employment of gold for all business purposes. We are on the gold basis now, and the republicans maintain that we should stay there, which means that we should keep all forms of money worth 100c on the dollar by not coining a super abundance of silver and thereby making it impossible to preserve the parity of the two metals. It i* the democrats and populists who propose to revolutionize our currency system, and establish a new standard of value. They are seek ing to make silver the only money of the country, and to take away the prop that now sustains it on an equality with gold, the result of which would be a decline of its present 100c value to the 51ic value of the bullion that it represents.

America. It was an audience that was assembled to protest against trailing the flag of democracy in the dust of reuudiation. The gallant Irishman made a decided killing. He has many followers in Putnam county. Wm. McKinlet is not saying a great deal these days but what he does say goes direct to the point. In the Indianapolis ./««/•««/ editorial reference is made to Mr. McKinley’s speech to a delegation of colored men on Tuesday, in which he said:

MEXICA X PRICES.

There are plenty of men in this country that know a few things about Mexican prices and Mexican wages. Mr. Burris’ effort to tell the people that wages were about as h gh in Mexico as in the United States was a weak one hardly worth a denial, but for fear it might have lodged permanently in some one’s mind we herewith present a set of new figures.

The Fifth district will have a National democratic candidate for congress, in opposition to the popocratic nomination already made. The Terre Haute Gazette still

This money question presents itself to me in this homely fashion : If free coinage of silver means a 53-cent dollar, then it is not an honest dollar. If free coinage means a 100-eent dollar equal to a gold dollar, as some of its advocates assert, we will not then have cheap dollars, but dollars just like those we now have, and which will be as hard to get. In which case free coinage will not help the debtor or make it easier for him to pay his debts. As a logical delemma that is complete. It is much in the style of Abraham Lincoln, and that master logician himself could not have put it in hotter form. There are but two alternatives. Under free and unlimited coinage the silver dollar would be either a deprepreciated dollar or a 100 cent one. If the former, it would be an embodiment ot rascality, and if the latter, the cheap-money argument fails. Free silverites should tackle this dilemma.

REP URL 1C A -V SIL I ’EH SE XTIMENT. 8t. Louis Globe Democrat. There are some people who be lieve that the republican declaration for the gold standard means the elimination of silver from our currency system. If the effect of going to a silver basis would be to drive all gold out of circulation, they say, is it not equally true, on the other hand, that to go to a gold basis would be to drive all silver out of circulation 9 In such an event, they go on to say, money would surely be much harder to get than it is now, and there isn’t enough gold in the world to supply our needs in that respect. They point to the fact, furthermore, that in spite of all that is said about the present advantage of gold in a monetary sense, they never see any of it, but find only silver and silver certificates in circulation for the most part. Therefore, they insist, preference should be given to the kind of money that is obtainable and that can be easily and greatly increased, instead of thrusting it aside and depending upon gold, which is scarce in comparison and

cratic bugaboo was exploded most effectually in a letter, directed to a gentlemen of this city, direct from Most. The local papers have shut up on the question. On October 14th, 1893 the Democrat said: “The senate contains a number of squirt guns, but Stewart is the most contemptible squirt in ibe lot. A man burdened with his leperous record should keep quiet.” The Democrat has changed its tune mightily. It now praises Stewart to the skies for his free silver stand at St. Louis and has nothing too good for him. The

to take such a view of the matter. In reality, the idea is a delusion, as these people should be able to see by a little stndy of the case. The republican party is not pro posing or desiring to do away with the use of silver as money. On the contrary, it wishes to keep the present large amount of such currency—larger than that of any other nation, with a single exception—in circulation under safe and profitable conditions. It has no prejudice against silver in any sense but that of being orposed to the free and unlimited coinage of

The Mexican prices are the prices that prevail in the Free Zone on which there is small duty; of course in the interior they would be much higher. I also find and do hereby certify that Mexican labor in Mexico, in the larger cities, is paid from 75 c to $1.50 per day in Mexican silver. The highest price for the very best and most skilled labor is $2 per day in the same kind of money. In the interior of Mexico, in the country and smaller cities, the wages are from twenty to thirty per cent, lower

than given above.

A Fruit Show. The success of Putnam county's fruit show lust year was a stimulus for an anneal exhibition and this year the county will he called upon to again bring in samples of best fruit. Hubert Jordan is working up the exhibit and it is proposed this year to take a departure from last year’s plan. All the merchants in the city will be asked to donate a show window of space in their stores to the variety of fruit they choose to exhibit and each store will thus have a separate exhibit. One store will take a certain variety of apples, another pears, etc., and all will be given an opportunity It is proposed to make a street lair out of the occasion and in the afternoon have a senes of bicycle races and a ball game. The project is young yet hut with a little effort many people could be brought here and a big display made. The date will be in about the seeo®d or third week of September.
