THE SILVER QUESTION.

Republican Policy ot Comtraction and Demonetization. [White County Demoorat.] “Observer," a true and staunch republican, but unfortunately afraid of his own name, writing recently in the Herald, re* marked that this country has had no legislation within the laßt thirty years, except such as it has pleased the republican party to give us. That remark is true, and therefore whatever change in the volume of money or the standard of gold and silver as a me notary medium has taken place, is directly chargeable to that party. This being the case, as is claimed by the unknown sage of the Herald sanctum, it may not be amiss to review some of that leg. islation with a view to ascertaining just what evidence of friendship for the people the party of McKinleyism and monopoly has presented. We have already spoken briefly in reference to the republican idea of national banks, alien contract labor laws, repeal of taxes on incomes and the tariff laws, all republican measures, and in this article we shall notioe the aotion of that party on the silver question. During the war the volume of money in circulation was principally circulated in the northern states among about 24,000,000 people. After the war, or in 1865, when the southern spates laid down their arms, the number of people to nse this money was increased in proportion to the population of the southern states and this, as a matter of course decreased the amount per capita. The paper money alone in c rculation in the northern states at the close of the war was almost $lO 000,000, besides other paper representing national indebtedness used as money. The sum per capita in circulation at this time was S4O. Prom 1865 to 1869, the volume of money was reduced by republican administrations more than’s2oo,ooo,ooo for use among forty million people, and in 1879 when specie resumption took plaoe the per crpita had shrunk to an average of sl4, as against thejj S4O per head at the close of the war. Thus it will be seen that the volume of money with whioh to conduct the business had been decreased, according to population, two thirds in less than fifteen years. Plenty of money makes business brisk, while a dea th of that medium causes stagnation. Farmers and other producers who remember the decline in wheat, corn, oats and other products from “war prices” to those prevailing in 1879, can easily associate that decline with the republican method of contraction, entered into for the purpose of paving the way to sp cia resumption. Articles of traffic are always weighed against money and when money is scaroe prices become correspondingly lower. The republican excuse for decline of prices has always been 4 “over production" and farmers have been told that they should raise fewer bashels of wheat, t _j

From 1865 te 1878, while thejeontraotion of paper monev was going on, both gold and silver were money and all debts, public and private, were made payable in “lawful money,” which meant either gold or silver. Nor was this all. At the oloße of the war the general understanding Was that all pnolic debts were payable in greenbacks, the same kind of money that was doled out to the soldiers at the rate of sl3 per month. Our readers will recollect that no bonds were made payable in gold. The interest was.made payable in coin, which meant either gold or silver. The principal of the original bonds were payable in “lawful money,” while the bonds that were refunded, like the interest, were made payable in coin. Gold was not mentioned and onr readers will recollect that republican congresses passed the laws first making the interest on bonds payable in coin and then that the bonds issued to take the place of those falling dne should be paid in coin. At the time these acts were passed nothing was said as to the kind of coin that sho’a be need and gold and silver were both money at the recognized standard of value adopted years before. After the money power had Beoured the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds that they had bought wtth depreciated greenbacks at forty and fifty cents on the dollar in coin, the next step was to demonetize silver, deprive it of its legal tender quality, thus increasing the valne of gold and consequently the valne of their bonds.— This was done by the republican party at the behest of Wall street, and, as nsnal, the sachem of republicanism, John Sherman of Ohio, loomed up as the leader in the great enterprise of robbing the people in the interest of the “rich and well born.” It is claimed that President Grant did not know the intent and purpose of the bill when he signed it; that the speaker of the Douse was ignorant of its purpose and that the majority of the members of congress were unaware of the cunningly devised scheme they were working on an innocent public. This is the only excuse republican apologists have ever been able to make for the outrage perpetrated, and a flimsy one it is. Those who heard Congressman Cheadle in his speech here daring ihe last campaign will reoollect that this is the excase he g ive and that he acknowledged it to be the-.greatest wrong ever committed by a party on the people. They will alsq remember that to demonetization of sdver he attributed the decline in f arms and farm products. “Joe Cheadle” was right on the silver question, bat “off” when he attempted to make his hearers believe that it was advantageous for them to pay a premium on tinware for the purpose of making a few more millionaires. The truth is, a high tariff on necessaries, a free market for farm produce and the contraction of currency and the demonetization of silver, all jointly contributed to the demoralization of the prices of farms and farm products. The bill demonetizing silver and the republican McKinley bill increasing a robber tariff are the crowning infamies of the 19th century. One is the counterpart of the other and both are directly chargeable to the ' republiban party, which organization I “Observer” in the Herald says is respon- ) sible for all legislation enjoyed by the masses” for thirty years. Is it any wonder that fai mere are dissatisfied at the present condition of affairs, bro’t about by the thirty years of republiean legislation and that they lare demanding the ; abolishment of national banks, the placing of a tax on incomes and the free coinage of silver?

•‘A FIRM ADHERENCE TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES.”

RENSSELAER. JASPER COUNTY. INDIANA FRIDAY. JULY 31 189)

READY FOR THE FIGHT,

KANSAS EDITORS NOT DISCOURAGED. Dbmocbats Warned in a Ringing Address AGAINST THE FORMATION OP Entangling Alliances with the Hotheads op the People’s Party. Topeka, Jaly 27.— This has been one of the notable days in the history of the democratic party of Kansas. From all quarters of the state the democratic editors assembled to re-affirm their faith in the prinoiples of the party and to give expression to their views on the questions of the hour. This meeting was called by a ptevious convention of the democratic editors held in this city, at which a committee was appointed to prepare an address to the demooraoy of the state and nation defining the position of the Kansas democrats in their relation to the republican and people’s parties. The fact that at the last election the democratic party of this state failed to nominate congressional, legislative and oonnty tickets, preferring rather to unite with the alliance, in order to defeat their ancient enemy, had given rise to the opinion in many quarters that Kansas democrats were oreatureß of the past. The incorrectness of this impressien was clearly manifest at the meeting to-day, when the democratic editors put forth their platform in no uncertain terms. The address prepared by the committee met with the unanimous approval of the editorial fraternity, and was adoptad withont a dissenting vote. After a preamble, reoiting the fact that a large conservative element is beooming seemingly inooulated with dootrines foreign to the genius and fundamental principles upon which onr government is founded, the address prooeeds:

Awakening to the Nation’s Peril. “We hail with delight the awakening of the American people to a realization of the wrongs they have suffered, which are the direct result of ideas and doctrines antagonistic to democratic principles. But we are not unmindful of the fact that of all the demands made by those who have but recently discovered these great wrongs there is not one which can be desoribed as rational and which is within the hounds of possibility but what has been made over and over again by the democratic party. And while these wrongs were accomplished with strong hands, unlawfully, over the united and be t efforts of the democratic party, it was* largely by the aid of those who now clamor for a redress of these wrongs by a species of communism and state socialism that are foreign to Amerloan traditions and the constitutional prinoiples upon whioh this government was founded. Nor are we blind to the fact that this latter-day movement of these w o until recently were the political associates of the perpetrators of these wrongs is simply a desperate effort to get the benefit oi democratic measures and democrat(c policies without abating their par - tisan prejudices sufficiently to vote the democratic tioket. We say te all who hopelfor better things, ‘All hail, brothers,’ bat we cannot consent to withdraw from the field of activity at the very moment when the trinmph of demooraoy make reformatory relief possible. After thirty years of devoted adhesion to principles and measures through misrepresentation and obloquy, the old veterans in the warfare for liberty oannot be crowded aside by new reernits and amateurs who were Auxiliaries of the enemy in the great battles of the recent past. Demooraoy A gainst Centralization. “The reason that the democratic party has survived for a century is because it deserved to survive, because it is the only party in thiß country’s history whioh haß stood up for the people against centralized power. The demoeratio party is therefore, and ever has been, the constitutional party of this country, and its opponents, whether federalist, whig, know-nothing, republican, or what not, have been, and are the enemies of these salutary restraints and sound constitutional principles, the maintenance of whioh is necessary to the protection of the individual against the aggressic ns, usurpations, corruptions, extravagance,lioentionsnesi and criminality of thoße in authority. The demucratio party stands for individualism against institutionalism, for the scattered and segregated individuals who constitute the great mass of sooiety as against corporations and all manner of concentrated forces by which the united energies of the many are molded by the fw. It believes in the perfect freedom of each individ al 60 long as the same results in no positive and palpable wrong to another. It believes that each individual is entitled to that large liberty which he may enjoy without denying to another equal libeity. It realizes that modem progress has bro’t us face to faoe with new conditions and problems that imperatively demand solution; but it is not prepared to assent to the proposition that the solution of these problems involves the shotting of onr eyes to the lessons of the past and turning a deaf ear to the a< monitions of history. We believe in abolishing the iniquities of olass legislation in tariff taxation, thereby adusting the burdens of the government equitably upon all. When we reflect upon the motives whioh prompted the now justly reputed infamous piece of legislation known as the McKinley bill, it is little wonder that it has for its companions appropriation bills aggregating over a billion dollars for a single Congress, an amount equal to that deemed neoessary during the years of the civil war, a time when the nation was bleeding at every pore and supporting from a million and a half to two million men in the field, Sneh unparalleled extravagance can neither be explained, nor justified nor atondd for. It can only be denounced, condemned and punished by perpetual banishment of its perpetrators from place and power. Stand Firm by the Party. “Therefore, in view of the foregoing facts and with the best of feeling toward those who cherish the real practical liberty guaranteed by the jonstitution and who are struhgling substantially for the identical reforms advocated by the democratic party, wa cannot bring ours elves to believe that now is the day or hour in which to haul down the flag of the democratic party Kansas. On the contrary, wc would advise the strongest possible organization among democrats and the formation of clubs and societies throughput the length anc, breadth of the state

to the end that democratic doctrine may he properly disseminated and the people beoome enlightened upon the practical reform movement as enunciated in the democratic platforms. To the demooraoy of Kansas we say, stand firm. Put your tickets in the field. Stand stoutly by your principles and time will bring you viotory."

But a revolution has occurred. The Publishing House of E. S. Peale & Go” of Chicago believed that if this gre"Digest of the Libraries of the World could be made low enough in price, every body would buy it. They£h*ve therefore reproduced the entire|work in 25 volumes, with all the illustrations and new and better maps, and offer it at the marvelous price of $ 1 50 per volume.

SOUNDS LIKE THE “REPUBLICAN SLOGAN” OF 1856 AND 1860.

St. Lotjis, July 28.— The farmers’ alliance and knights of labor of the Third and Fourth congressional districts of Texas are holding an encampment at Sulphur Springs, Texas, and will continue for a week Among the prominent persons present are Senator Pfeifer of Kansas, and Mr. Powers, president of the Indiana allianoe. The speeches so far have all been in favor of the people’s party movement, and some of them are of quite an intemperate character, For example, Lee E. Hoods of Vanzandt oounty predicted a revolution in the event relief fails through tho ballot, and said that John Brown succeeded Lloyd Garrison, and that the people intend to break the reign of plutocracy peaceably if they can, butforoibly if they must.

President Powers of Indiana said he had looked across a gun barrel at the Sonth not many years ago, but he was here now to take them by the hand in a fight to the death against the two old parties, who were two old dogs trotting in the same path. There had been alt loody chasm between the North and the South for twenty-five years, but the people wo’d fill the chasm with dead politicians, wipe out monopoly and plutocracy and restore the government to the people. The exception written aotoss a greenback bil he held in his hand had destroyed the sovereignty of the people, end the evils aggravated when the exception was made against the silver dollar. He held a map in his hand illustrating the national banks in which the people could not approach the treasury, >. ut showing a banker in 1886 receiving $60,000,000 from the treasury hopper. A map with a seesaw on the backs of two farmers on uli fours, and a republican and democrat on either end, and still another map representing the farmers as reversing the operation. St, Louis. July 29.—A special from Sulphur Springs, Texas, says. Senator Pester was the orator at the farmers’ encampment last night. He wanted the Government te loan the people money at 1 per cent, to lift nine million mortgages, and to pall the teeth and olose the mouth of the great red dragon in Wall street. He proposed to do this with fiat money, issued direotly to the people who had mortgaged their homes. His speech lasted two hours, and he closed by saying the peoplo’s party would finally elect the President, Congress and Senate, and if the Supreme Court was not with them they would make another.

If the above reports are comet they indicate that the apostles of the so-called people’s party are in harmony with the accoucheurs of the repnblican party in 1856 ind 1860. In the Philadelphia convention, 1856, it was given out that if the repnblican party failed that year with the ballot it would resort to the bullet. In the above “a revolution" is predicted “in the event relief fails through the ballot,” and again “that John Brown sneoeeded (our recollection is that J. B. preceded) Lloyd Garrison, and that the people intend to break the reign of plutocracy peaceably if they can, but forcibly if they must.” The remarks of Powers, of this State were in the same line. The statements attributed to Pfeffei, if correct, are simply the anadalterated utterances of a demagogue. The authority of the Encyclopsedta Britannica has never been questioned in any Court of Justice in this country or in Europe. Lawyers take it into court to speak from it or quote it, with the same assurance that they would from a law book. At a recent county convention of the F. M. B. A. of Carroll county the action of the Cincinnati convention was not indorsed and it was resolved “that each member should he free to exercise his individual judgment as to how he shall vote.” The Carroll county farmers have taken the right coarse, There is nothing in their code of principles that can be construed as binding them politically and they will certainly do well by steering clear of the political shoals that wrecked the patrons of hnsbandry and other organizations. The farmers’ strength lies in their ability to discriminate between men and measures of the two ol<l parties and not in the effort to organize a new political party.—White County Demoorat.

The aims and objects of the alliance is all right and proper. By concerted and nnited action the organization can secure advantages and benefits in the world of trade which they conld not do in an onorganized state. They can accomplish much good for their industry. They softer mnch from the evils of republican class legislation. There is net a wrong of which they complain, but what the democratic party through its representatives has sought to right. The greatest evil impbsed upon the alliance is the action of the people’s party element, in sefr son and out of Beason, seeding to foist upon them their organs and speakers.— Qur republican neighbor must be a sort of a “demphool” that he don’t reoognize in this a republican move designed to mislead those of republican proclivities and thus prevebt them coming over to.the democracy! They argue that while it may be a republican loss there is no democr|tio gain in the result.

The Demoeratio gentinel comes |to the relief of his co-laborator in the Democratic vineyard, the Pilot editor, by sug» gesting that Judge Hammond, Treasurer Washburn and other leading Republioans were onoe Democrats, and the Pilot eagerly avails itself of the suggestion.— There is a vast difference, however, in the two oases. Hammond and Washbum left the Demoeratio party forever, at a time when its rank and opeu disloyalty was such that every true lover of his country ought to have followed their oxample. Their change waß from honorable and patriotic motives, and their reasons therefor are known of all men. * * —Renssolaer Republican.

We know nothing of the reasous of the Pilot man for leaving the Democratic party. It is sufficient for ns to know that the Denooratio party has always been the great party of the people from the time of its organization by Jefferson in opposition to the Federal plntocratio par. ty organised by Hamilton whioh has been handed down to the present time under the aliases of anti-Mason, Whig, Know Nothing and Repnblican. The inspired genius of the great founder of the Demooratio party was felt in our revolutionary struggle. The noted Declaration of Independence, produot of his brain and pen, and the outflow of his

pure, patriotic heart, inspired the patriots of that day with new hope and courage.— Later under his own administration the are area of our Union was extended, the abominable and un-Amerioan alien and sedition laws (similar in their objeots to the late force bill of the Reed oongreas), of Adams' federalistio administration re* pudiated and wiped out. Following, under the Jeffersonian administration of Monroe, the second attempt of Great Britain to seoure her grip upon this country was defeated, our people rallying under the battle-ory < f ‘Free Tade and Sailors Bights", the Federalist party—parent tree of the Republican—opposing thewa; and giving aid and oomfort to the enemy. Under the Jeffersonian administration of James K. Polk the foreign War with Mexico was oonduoted to a successful issue in spite of the opposition of the Whin party—predecessor of the Republican— and the expressed wish of its lenders that the Mexican* would “Weioome our soldiers with bloody hands to hospitable graves.” In 1852 the Whig party was wiped out. In 1868 the Republican party ,ucoeeded the Whig. Its coiner atone was sectionalism; its oreed was “No union with slaveholders"; “The unionjwas in league wlthihell and the constitution a covenant with death;" an ’ admonition to “Tear down the stars and str pos, with the declaration in convention that “If we did not sucoed with the ballot w« would resort to the bullet. " The spirit of fairness, the union sentiment among the people and loyalty to the constitution, however, prevailed, and the sucoess of sectionalism postponed. In 1860 the Republicans and Kuow Nothings combined forces and seoured viotory.— That party has retained power ever since by force, fraud and even theft of the Presidency. Its adminstration of affairs has been reckless in the extreme, honeycombed with fraud and corruption, and legislation oonfined to the interests of monopolists and money lords. The Democracy point with pride to its record during the war. Its rank and file rushed to the front in defense of the union in such numbers that it was an easy matter for the stay-at-home Republicans to defeat their party at the polls; Its represent, atives voted men and money without stint, only asking that the war be prosecuted for the restoration of the au thority of the government; It resisted all measures calculated to prolong the war and intensify the strife. The policy of the Republican administration was to prolong and embitter the strife, at th« expense of thousands of lives and treas' ure, with a view >o exhaust the patience of the pe iple' and force their oonsent to peace on terms looking to the perpetuity of the party in power This they expected to bring about through (reconstruction measures and giving negroes the ballot. Failing in this calculation their last resort was to procure the passage of the force bill which met with such an ignominious failure last winter. With this comparison of parties, and it is correct, we fail to see where the patriotic motives of the gentlemen named comes in in oonneotion with their abandonment of the Democratic for the Reoublican party.— The language employed by the Republican in justification of their course can be attributed to the ignoranoe of its editor or a readiness to bear false witness against his opponents. As friends and fellow citizens there are none we esteem more highly; as Republicans we can see no distion, and our Republican neighbor will bear us out in in the statement that they have been well and frequently provided for by the party of their adoption. Every effort of the Democracy to secure legislation in the interest of the masses has been defeatedlby the Republican party, aided by many of those clamoring for reform through a new party erganizaton. So far as the Pilot editor is concerned, if he ever was a Democrat, his change of hase can no more be attrib. uted to patriotic motives than can the :cl a age of the gentlemen feferred to by the Republican. The Democratic party has, from its organization, beep the party or the people.

NUMBER 28

The difference between the Britanoica and all other Encyclopaedias consists in the fact that all the great subjects, of which there are 3000, are handled as a oomplete treatise, jnst the same as if you purchased a book on a particular subjeot, written by one of the best authors in the world. Mr. Homer Kessler, of Logansport, Ind., Ass.t General Agent of the Union Central Life Inanranoe Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, is at present in Rensselaer looking up the interests of his oompany, and is being assisted by C. T. Guyton, Cambridge City, Ind. The gentlemen are meeting with ffood sucoess. Farmers wishing to borrow money oan aot do better than to see these gentlemen before going elsewhere. They loan money for ten years at 7 per oent. with privilege of paying baok at any time any am’t with corresponding rebate of interest— No commission to pay, nor expense for examination of title, drawing of papers or reoording of mortgage.

They have a plan by which if death ocours before tho expiration of ten years, the mortgage would be canceled, and in addition like amount would be paid the estate in cash. And if living at the expiration of ten years the mortgage will be released and no more will have been paid by mortgagor than if he had borrowed money eliewh. re at the same rate of interest, where he would not have had the great advantages offered by this company. Farmers wishing to investigate can do so by oalling on the above named partita at the Nowels House, or addressing Homer Kessler, Ass’t General Agent 314 Fourth Street, Logansport, Ind. The President of Yale College has said “He will defy any one to buy 3,000 volumes which will give him as good a working library as is furnished in the Encyclopaedia Brftannioa."

A PAPER HOTEL.

[New York Telegram.] There seems to bepraotioally no limitation to the uses to which paper can be applied. To the long list of artioles intended for personal use and in the smaller details of construction in rolling stock, suoh as wheel, axles, etc., there has been added more extensive application of paper to the needs of everyday life by the building of a hotel oonstruoted of this material. This novel residence, which has jnst been finished, and is situated in Hamburg, has been made entirely of paper boards, whiob, it is said, are of the hardness of wood, but possess an advantage over the latter material in that they are fire proof, this desirable end being effected by inn pregnation with oertaln chemical solutions.
