Li H. C. thinks we have too many political parties. That's no lie, either, but Li got in right on the eve of the second democratic convention and ought to be excused. Has the loss of a billion dollars’ worth of trade every month under the Gorman Tariff been caused by the beggarly purchase of four million dollars worth of silver for a few months? No. It is the result of the enactment of a free trade tariff and nothing else. In his rambling talk last evening if the Boy Bryan of Indiana wanted to use the Banner Times as a text for anything, why didn’t he take tip and deny some of the charges this paper has been making against popocracy. Why didn’t he deny that the Democrat paid in 1893 that “Cleveland, Carlisle and Cooper were good enough for the Democrat to follow at all times.” Why didn’t he deny that in 1877 Messrs. Jones, Bland and others appointed as a committee to investigate the silver question made a report which said that the act of 1873 does not demonetize the old silver dollar or any of the silver coins of standard weight prior to 1853. Why didn’t he in quoting Abraham Lincoln, whom he professed to love so well, give the lie to the base slander on Lincoln's

name made in the Democrat recently which was exposed by this paper. Why didn’t he explain why Col. Matson made five hot campaigns in this county and state and never by one word or action showed that he had ever before this year heard of the crime of ’73. Why didn’t he deny what J. Mexico Burris couldn’t deny, with thirteen months experience in Mex ieo, the table of figures showing the ditference in wages paid in the U. S. and Mexico, which table was published in this paper. Why didn’t he deny that Mr. Blaine said that free coinage of 92 cents worth of silver bullion gave an illegitimate profit to the owner of the bullion. Why didn’t he contradict Mr. Fairbanks when the latter said that the silver the government had purchased under the Sherman law had depreciated $150,000, 000 since being in the vaults. These are some of the things that have appeared in the columns of the Banner Times and which have not been denied. Mr. Daggy said last night that an undisputed statement stood until a better one was advanced. Why didn’t he, who has stood in the front of the popoeratic ranks in Putnam county as their champion, deny some of these statements? Instead he used glittering generalities. LTntil he so denies, he should not set up a cob house and ask some one to knock it down. As a clincher, why didn’t he deny the statement that the silver dollar is full legal tender for anv amount. Thr Boy Orator last nignt explained nothing about what the farmers of Vermont did on last Tuesday. Bryan talked up there. Daggy has talked long and vigorously to the farmers of Putnam. By the way that Vermont majority is pleasant reading. It can bo read backwards, forwards, upwards and downwards and the result is just the same. It is an argument that will stand undisputed by boy orators. Just gaze on it:

There has been considerable talk recently over the statement that John Clark Ridpath had recently bolted the republican party. People in Greeneastle know such is not the case for Dr. Ridpath uas not been a republican for years. The following from Rockport sent to the Indianapolis Journal bears out the statement. For several weeks local democrats, when asked to name a prominent republican who had joined democracy, referred to John Clark Ridpath. Yesterday the Rockport Democrat published a letter from Mr. Ridpath saying that he had voted for Lincoln, twice for Grant, once for Hays, hut that since 18N0 he “had voted independently for the party which seemed to me the most deserving and patriotic, though the choice has sometimes been a hard one.” j Thus it is shown that for sixteen j years he has not claimed to he a republican.

PUTNAM’S BOY ORATOR

And His Eight Years Study of the Financial Question. The boy orator of Putnam talked last night. He was greeted by a large audience, for these American people are curious. That’s the reason they want to hear Bryan, but the more people who hear such rampling generalities as these issued by either of these boy orators the more republican votes there will be this fall. Mr. Daggy had his first oasis in his historical r amble shortly after he opened his running talk when he referred to the Banner Times, quoting from its columns a report of a speech. He thus testified to the popularity of the paper as a newspaper, for great cheering followed his illusion to it. In the style of the Jtn de sieclc populist who is playing into the hands of the Chicagofied demo cracy which in turn is striving to get into power, Mr. Daggy sought to show that the country was now weak morally, intellectually and financially and was paving tribute to England and Europe and that it was at the mercy of the money power of those countries. After this point he drifted glibly on and in a few moments came rattling back, and in an attempt at a fiery glow of patriotism declared that this country was the greatest on earth, and could maintain unaided and alone the unlimited free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. Both statements were without foundation, The first is plainly false and the second has no history behind it. No country has maintained a double standard, with free coinage, and history discounts boyish oratory everytime as a convincing argument. Like other populistic speakers who are playing into free silver democratic hands, Mr. Dasrgy attempts to make his strongest point on the fact that the republican party this year favored international agreement on silver coinage. He failed to mention the fact that in 1892 the democratic platform contained exactly the same idea. If democrats were right then, they are wrong now. If Cleveland was wrong then he is right now. The democratic platform of 1892 said :

THE EVE

Is the most delicate organ that belongs to the entire human system, and yet it is that no organ is abused as much. One half of the people are suflering from weari-] suitable glasses. You should never wear ready made glasses, but have them ir.al order by

DR. K. SMIPLKY,

We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, and to the coinage of both gold and silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, hut the dollar unit of both metals ninst he of equal intrinsic and exohangable value, or be adjusted through international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets, and in payment of debt; and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and the laboring classes, the first and most defenseless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating currency.

Mr. Daggy is young but as Dr. Bence said in introducing him he had studied political economy for eight years. Why didn’t he, six or four years ago when the republican party was in power with a tariff that provided money enough to pay the running expenses of the government, under whose administration there was no panic and no talk of bank failures and financial crashes, discover the “crime of ’73,” and the awful results of temporarily putting aside a silver dollar of wiiich but eight million had been coined and none of them was in circulation. The democratic paity declared in 1892 for an international agreement as we have shown aboye, but which the speaker of last evening failed to realize. But this wasn’t all. That same democratic party knew better than any boy orator knew that the people of this country knew that the democratic party could not be trusted to carry out its platform pledges. They therefore went a step further than they ever did and made that international agreement section of their platform a part of the law of the land. A democratic congress called together by a democratic president repealed the purchasing act of the Sherman law which provided for the largest use of silver ever attempted by any country, and in the law repealing it

and taking its place this is what democracy placed there concerning

international agreement.

Be it enacted, etc., That so much of the act approved July 14, 1890, entitled “An act directing the purchase of silver bullion and issue of Treasury notes thereon, and tor other purposes.” as directs the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount 4.500,000 or so much thereof as may he offered in each month at the market price thereof, not exceeding one dollar for three hundred and seventy-one and twenty-five one-hundredths grains of pure silver, and to issue in payment for such purchases Treasury notes of the United States, be, and the same is hereby repealed. And it is hereby declared to he the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold ami silver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, such equality to lie secure through international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation ns will"insure the maintenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payments of debts. And it is hereby further declared that the effort of the Government should be steadily directed to the establishment of such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States, in the markets and in the payment of

debts.

There it is in black and white, and democracy did it. Perhaps Mr. Daggy hadn’t thought of that or missed it in his eight years’

study of political science.

He further forgot that in 1877, Senator Jones and a silver commission appointed especially for the purpose made a report recently printed in this paper which expressly said that there was no crime of ’73 and that silver had not been struck down or harmed. This report was made about a year after the Putnam boy orator was born, hut Senator Jones and his fellowsilver friends who now favor free coinage had the bravery to make the report, nevertheless. Mr. Buggy was afraid some one would ridi cule him for his stand. The Ban

phrases as he advanced last night excite in uo a wonderment at the

it to excite ridicule. It was full of misrepresentations as to percapita circulation of money (which is now $24 instead of $5 as lie puts it,) bond issues, etc. As Mr. Daggy is playing into the hands of democracy he didn’t explain that the $262,000,000 of bonds in Cleveland’s administration were issued to pav the running expenses of the government because of the WilsnnGorman tariff fizzle. He forgot that or missed it in his eight years’ of financial study. He said a bushel of Mexican dollars would not buy a glass of soda water in this country because it wasn’t legal tender, hut he failed to tell why an American silver dollar will purchase two Mexican dollars in Mexico where our dollar is not legal tender. That point also escaped in that eight years of financial study. The most applause came when the old eat story was told. Democracy must, indeed, be in great straits when it has to pat on the back such glittering twaddle as that of last evening. Shadoof Jefferson! No wonder there was a National democratic convention at Indianapolis!
