The accessions to the Democratic party, in this campaign, are not from the bondholders and millionaires; they are from the ranks of the farmers and workingmen, who have learned and are learning that a single gold standard currency is calculated to wrong them in the same ratio as it is calculated to benefit the million-aire-monopolistic greed of the .country. Every man who depends upon the result of his own labors for a livelihood should vote to restore silver to its legitimate and constitutional place in the currency of the country.

At the Republican n eeting, Friday night. Col. Ritter made a good point for Democracy and bimetallism by showing a gold dollar for which I c paid two dollars, thus demonstrating that gold money is dear money made so artificially by Republican 'legislation which decrees that gold, and gold alone, is and shall continue lo he the only real, primary, redempt.’iwo money recognized by this government. This policy means that the gold dollar is doubled in value, and that every thing else including
labor and its products shall be aJucel iu value by one-ha!?.
Will it be possible to head off the silly twaddle continuously emenating from Republican sources in regard to a “fifty cent dollar?” Are these Republican professional and amateur statesmen so dense that the}’ cannot understand that we have no 50-cent dollars ; that we never have had any 50-cent dollais, and that we never can have any 50-cent dollars? Of necessity a dollar contains 100 cents, and a less number of cents cannot possibly he a dollar. The B.-T. harps about the 50-cent dollar continuously ; we would ask for a diagram and an explanation, but we know the jueslion could not be answered. It might explain, however, just how it is that a silver dollar passes for a dollar, when they charge it is only 53 cents.
they are ridiculous. For instance it asserts that the I nited States could not maintain bimetalism, when every student of the currency question knows that the United States did maintain bimetallism for more than three quarters of a century, prior to the demonetization of silver by the Republican party in 1873, and not only maintained it but also maintained the silver dollar as the unit of value without change in weight or fineness during all those years, while during the same time the weight of the gold dollar, which the Republican now wish to make the sole standard and unit of measurment iu our currency was changed in weight twice. The truth is the B.-T. is driv- . en to fabrication, privarieation, and rt 'I dissimulation in it* attempt to defend a great wrong for partisan purposes
The Republicans have been using
for campaign literature a pamphlet entitled “Hard Places Made Easy in the Coinage Problem ; Five Hundred • jueptions Answered.” Hundreds of thousands of this pamphlet had been listributed in Hlineis before Democrats saw it or learned its contents, but it is now a back number because its misrepresentations and falsehoods are being exposed. A sample of the contents of this Republican campaign document is the answer given to “(Question 190,” which said answer i* a- 1 follows: “Coinage ratio between ■{old and silver is fixed by law. The original law of 17H2 made one dollar in gold equal to tifteen dollars in silver. The act of IS". I changed the ratio to one dollar of gold to sixteen.” What confidence can he placed in a party, a platform, or its candidates which sends out such stuff a* this to mislead the people? Honest, thoughtful, reading men, who are not blinded by partisan bias, will hesitate to longer alliliute with a political party that descends to outright falsehood to bol-
ster up an unrightueos cause.
