The total exports of gold made since April 27th are over $7,000,000. Tbe Republicans are having a very difficult job maintaining tbe “parity” between before-election promises and after-election results. Humanity may be divided into two classes, those woo scheme aud those who sweat The sweaters create the wealth and the schemers consume it. —Appeal to Reason. Senator Tnrpie has been assigned to the Cor .mittees on Finance aud Foreign Relations. These are the two important committees of the Senate, and only in exceptional cases is a Senator appointed to both. This may be regarded as a high compliment to the Indiana Senator and a fitting recognition of his high standing among his Associates.

The gold Democracy is impotent to bring any real relief to the country; it is long on platitudes and short on performance; it rt ches its maximum at a banquet and its minimum at the polls; it is the toy of those financiers who prate about national honor while they fatten on the nation’s extremity, and is powerless to protect the people from the extortion of trusts aud the. greed of unrestrained corporations. ‘‘Those Democrats who believe in equality before the law will naturally gravitate toward the regular Democracy, and those Democrats who believe in a government by syndicates will naturally drift into the Republican p rty, because it offers them the best prospect of success.” —Wm. Jennings Bryan. 0 The Anderson Evening says—“ The prosperity which the Republican managers promised in the event of MoKiuley’s election will not arrive. Blacker and blacker grow the clouds above us, deeper and deeper do the people sink into the slough of despond.— Increased taxation under the Dingley bill will not put the poor man’s cupboard nor coal in the coal bin. Merchants will continue to fail, securities for loans will continue to shrink, foreclosures will follow, and those who have sown she wind will reap the whirlwind. The only remedy for the deadly disease of contractu,n is more money. The best protection against inflation is use of the money metals, silver and gold, the production of which is limited by nature and the quantity thus fnr never reached the amouut ot money used in the woild’s business.”

NO MOVING BACKWARD. The Atlanta Constitution, the leading newspaper of the south, voices the sentiments of the Democr its of the west when it says The Democratic parL neverpbm asked and never will ask those who cannot accept its fundamental principles to support its candidates ltsinvitatious are extended to those who believe in popular gov j rnment and who have ent re confidence in the aggregate wisdom of the ueopl and in their ability to settle rightly and justlv all questions of legislation and governmentflpolicy. “In the Chicago platform principles as old as the concep ion of batnan justice are applied to existing co iditions, and the remedies therein formulated are made necessary by legislation which in its intention and resn ts is the opposite of Democracy in every respect. There will be no turning back, no supp-ession of vital issues, no dodging, hedging, or equivocation. Dating from the adoption of the Chicago platform the issues between the peoile and those who b4ve sought with almost fatal success to oppress them through the medium of class legislation will be clear cut Tte lines will be so plainlydrawn that thedullest mind will not need to . sk for an explanation.’’ AM OLD DOLLAR.
