The election of McKinley would mean that the money power is to in definitely continue its grip on the purses and products of the people. The Republican legislation of the past thirty-five years has been in ; variably in favor of the monied class i and against the masses of the people land in the present campaign it 1 sticking very closely and assiduously

to its past record.

The name given to the silver dollar by Bun Harrison is that it is a “dirty dollar.” According to Bynum’s last public proclamation the object of the gold boltocrats is the defeat of Bryan and the election of McKinley.

jn 1v.im.ey 8 election would mean ue.v issues of bonds with interest to bo paid in gold by the pieople, and a continuation of low prices for the products of farm and shop, and increase of riches for the bond holder and money changers.

The fact is becoming apparent that tiie people believe they can manage their own monetary afl’airs without tiie consent or advice 01 England or the European continent, hence they will elect Bryan, e’en though these foreign nations advise, assist and hope f >r the election of McKinley. The free silver advocates of this county should get together and make their organization so close and so perfect that attempts by Republicans to use boodle or bulldozing at the election can be promptly detected and those guilty of it should be promptly arrested and given the full benefit of

the law.

The English and European newspapers are deploring the fact that Bryan’s election seems almost as sured. They assert that if the bimetallic system is inaugurated in the United States, and the free coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 obtains, the United States will secure the markets of the world for the sale of its products, natural and

manufactured.

We have seen no notice in the Banner-Times condemning or approving the acts of the Republican leaders of Indiana in their attempt to bribe the committee of the I’opu

lists of this State. Dees the B.-T. approve of the bribery and corrup- THE^our of Bry?n through Indition attempted by these Republicans, ana has been arranged, whereby he is as exposed and proven. . rnake sixteen speeches in this

State, beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 6, lie will address the people at New Albany, Jeffersonville, Seymour, Columbus, Franklin, and in the after-

The B.-T. has failed to state how it is that if the gold standard is a had thing the Republican party won’t con lem it until European nations will join it condemnation ; and if it is a gooil thing, why dots the Republican party promise to do away with it when England and other European nati > agroe to assist it so to do.

noon and evening he will speak at Indianapolis ; on Wednesday, Oct. 7, he will make speeches at Xoblesville, Tipton, Kokomo, Logansport, Winamac, North Judson, Crown Point, and Hammond.

The presidential candidates have tin!icd into the home stretch, with Br in aw >y in the lead. McKinley is on ihe (1. O. R. P. elephant, and Mark H,tuna is goading him with a spear and 1 eistiug his tail to increase his t-p- 'd, but he will never overtake Bryan this side of election day’, and ' free silver sentiment is a sure winner I

by long odds.

Satisfactory answer to the following propsition wanted: Are tiin.-s hard? Is money scarce? Are wages low? Is industry paralized? Is business at a standstill? Are failures numerous and increasing? How can all this b.- true under the beneficent regim^ 1 the present gold standard? If gold is the keynote of prosperity, why shouldn’t American industry be sin ging mer

rily today.

Wk have it from reliable authority ILat a telegraph operator win. works in this county, heard a telegram going over the wires,a fewdays ago, from a member of the Republican State Central Committee to a Republican National Executive Committee aian, giving information that the •present prospect is that this State will go for Bryan in November by from 25,000 to 60,000; the author of tb" dispatch wanted the National Committee to rush to the rescue.

The fact is tiecoming more and more apparent, every day, that there are many Republicans favorable to the free coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 10 to 1, who are saying nothing. They are keeping quiet, and allowing the Republican managers to class them as solid for McKinley, because they do not desire to become targets for abuse and vindication, hut when they go to the polls they will deposit ballots for Bryan and free silver. There are many such citizens in Putnam county. One the peculiar things about the political situatii n is that railroad and Other corporations are much afraid that if Bryan is elected that they will be unable to pay their employes in 50 cent dollars, instead of 100 cent dollars, and because of this fact these corporations aro endeavoring to coerce their employes into voting for McKinley. The proposition is so absurd that it is a lie or its face. Every man with common sense knows that if the managers of those corporations believed that Bryan’s election would enable them to pay their debts with 50 cent dollars, they would be shouting for and supportng Bryan to a man. Corporations are and always have been considered soulless, and they invaribly payas little as possible for sir vice, especially that rendered by train, yard and

men.

The Banner-Times continues to misrepresent the facts aud the issues of the campaign along some lines while it attempts to ignore the facts along other lines. It has nothing to say in favor of “the present gold standard ’ platform of tiie Republican party, and is discreet in making reference to the silver dollar—its 5:> cent dollar idiocy is dormant for tinpresent.

The Vincennes Sun says: A goldbug today, when close pressed in an argument hotly replied that all the brains of the Democratic party ware for the gold standard. Tins will not bear scrutiny, for if we judge of braim by tiie ordinary tests we will find tbe brainest men in position of prominence and influence in church and state. All tho Democratic governors of states are for silver. Nearly all he more prominent Democratic United States Senators are for silver as well as the most talented R°publican Senators. The same is true of Congressmen of commanding in flnence. The most learned professors of College, such men as John C. Ridpath, the historian, and a life long Republican is for silver. Senator Arthur Gorman, the most astute political leader of the age is for silver. Self interest leads a few intellectual people to the gold standard, you [will find shoddy plutocrats there by the hundreds and thousands, with the smell of greed on their garments ami swelled up not by intellectuality but

sordid gain.

We hope our correspondents will he more regular iu sending in their letters now that the evenings are growing longer.

At Crawfcrdsville, last Saturday, an aggregation of Wabash College students whose education had been badly neglected that they were supporters of McKinley aud “the present gold standard,” undertook to disrupt aud break up a free silver coinage meeting that was being addressed by Hon. Thus. M. I’attsrson of Denver. They gatfiered on the outskirts of the crowd and started the college yell, which they concluded with three ’rahs for McKinley. They could not be quieted, and the speaker was forced to pause, whereupon a great crowd of angry country b lys made a dash for the offending students. No love is lost between them any way, and the farmer lads saw a golden opportunity to avenge many fancied slights. They took the initative, and there was precipitated a battle which waged furiously for a few minutes. The student body included several musclar football players, and they fought valiantly until overpowered by superior strength and numbers, when they broke ranks and ran. The attacking party followed, and a running fight was kept up for several blocks, one squd of students being compelled to seek safety at a private residence. Several of the students were roughly treated, and, had not the cool heads interfered, the fallen ones would have been seriously beaten. In Ridpath's “Appeal to the American People,” the writer scores the managers and time-servers of the Republican party, in regard to the cringing policy of the Republican platform toward England and English greed, as follows: What is it, then, in this year eighteen hundred and ninety-six to be a true American? What is it to be true patriot? It is to stand under the broad folds of stars and stripes and defy the world! It is to be an independent man, afraid of nothing. is not to taunt the Old World nations or to denounce them; for they too are composed of people who toil and wait. They are as human we. To be an American, a patriot, is to love mankind ami to try to serve the human race. It is not to strut and parade; but it is to love our Country and to honor our country more than all else in the world. It is to revere the memory of our father*. It is to glorify the Revolution that made us free and independent. P. is to believe the Declaration of Independence the greatest and the best political document, the noblest charter of freedom and equality, that was ever traced by pen of man. 11 is to love American things hebause they are Americans. It is to defend our free institutions, at every challenge, oven with the life. To be a true American is not to fawn or creep in the presence of any power or combination of power in the world. It is to stand np. It is to demand aud have our own. It is to be above the blandishments of authority and the corrujitions of money. It is to despise the mercenary spirit, and to look at human life as something nobler than merchandise, ft is to walk abroad “with malice toward none, with charity for all.’’ It is to look with compassion rather than hatred even on the truckling un-

Make every efl'.irt possible to advance the cause of Bryan and free silver, from now until election day. Only four weeks more of the great ■uruggle of the people against the plunderers, and then the Cituse of free silver w ill prove triumphant. Hogate continues u keep dis- ■ reetly silent; he does not intend to let Stockweli slaughter him in a joint discussion of the issues of the campaign. The B.-T. continues to quote from the Stab-Press of by-gone days— this fad is accounted for by the fact, doubtless, that it lias a leaning toward the ancients, and endeavors to avoid the issues of this day and age.

None of the Republican stumpers or debaters resident in Greencastle, accepted Mr. Ballard's courteous invitation to meet him and discuss the political issues j dntly, at the Court House last Saturday. We regret this fact, exceedingly; Mr. Ballard would have taught the Republicans a lasting lesson in politics and finance if they had sent a representative to meet Mr. Ballard and divide time with him.

We hear it from a gentleman of veracity that one of Putnam’s wealthy Republicans recently asserted that they had iflo.OJO to put into tbe canvass in this county, for the benefit of “McKinley and sound money. ’ Every supporter of Bryan should he on guard, and if attempt to bribe or corrupt is discovered the guilty ones should be promptly reported to the Democratic County Central Committee, that steps may be taken give them a dose of fine and imprisonment. -O- ■ One of Greencastle’s leading Republicans requests that we ask Dr. Moore, the Republican candidate for the legislature in this county, whether he is for Fairbanks or McKeen for U 8. Senator, and the question is therefore hereby propounded. We can assure the interrogator, however, that Dr. Moore will give no heed to the question ; he will not answer it; lie's not instructed by the gang that way ; he’s for Fairbanks but he will not give the snap away in a public man-

ner.

The gang that furnishes the stutT that fills the editorial page of the Banner-Times are remarkable only fur the number of falsehoods they succeed in crowding into a small space. Without doubt, there is more premeditated falsehood condensed into its so-called editorial utterances than can be found elsewhere in the same space, under any conditions, and the most disgraceful fact in regard to it is that it reiterates these same lies over and over again, after they have been proven false beyond all ques-

tion of doubt.

American hordes of plutocracy cringing at the knees of foreign States and (taring not to step cr breathe without track I the consent of the directors of the

The toport is that the coterie which grinds out the grist of slush that appears in the Banner-Times is composed of the assumed ‘'brains,” which is the ring of the party, in this city. The Republican who gives this information is supremely disgusted because thereof, and intimated that the result would he a decreased vote for the Republican ticket; men who under ordinary circumstances would vote the Republican ticket will go to the election booth and vote the other way, without saying anything about

it.

The Banner-Times, in these latter days, is a sort of howling deverish— it makes a noise, but there is nothing in it. Its vaporings seem to he a conglomeration of malic, misrepresentation and .misanthropy, accounted for, undoubtedly by tho fact, that it docs battle in a bad cause; a cause so bad, so unpopular, so lacking in true American sp’rit, so detrimental to tho best interests of the masses and so lacking in equity and righteousness that its defeat at the polls, in November next is as sure as anything can he in this day and age
