The fight for better and more economical cwinty government being waged by the Jasper County Democrat should appeal to the sense and Judgement of every taxpayer In Jasper county. For years tax ridden by one of the Moot extravagant political rings that ever preyed upon a long suffering people, the turning point has come. There are times when a long Buffering people refuse to listen to appeals to “stand by the ticket" and vote for their own Interests. We believe that this Is one of those years In Jasper county.—Delphi Times. The people of Jasper county need an entirely new set of officials in the county offices. Vote early and get every other citizen who has the welfare of Jasper county at heart to do the same. The existence of a little thing like the fee and salary law appears to make no difference to county officers in Jasper county. Extras are scooped in just as if it did not exist. The ring journals are resorting to all kinds of false statements to deceive their readers and bolster up their cause. It’s no go gentleman, the people will take no further stock in your mutteringß but will try voting for their own interests once. The cost of commissioners’court in Jasper coun<_ for the fiscal year endii May 31st lh'X) war ’.325; in 1894 it reached the sun of sl,074.43; in 18bs it had reached $2,215.68, or $788.56 for each commissioner. Will the people lunger submit to such outrages? We want the taxpayers to remember that not a solitary charge of mismanagement in county affairs has been successfully contrardicted by the ring organs. We have made our charges so specific that any taxpayer can easily satisfy himself as to their truth or falsity.
CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
That Is What the Gold Bugs and Plutocrats Fear. They Know It Means Death to Syndicates, Trusts, Corporations and Monopolies Which Her* Been Oppressing the People. It is an old aphorism “that men who think govern those who toil.” A “Campaign of Education” is a misnomer unless it sets men to thinking. Indeed, the highest function of ednoation is to teach men to think. If it falls in that essential particular, we have men who accept what is told them as truth and who, however much they may boast of their independence, are, nevertheless, the hypnotized victims of canning men who use them to promote their schemes of aggrandizement. The great mass of the people can have no interest in promoting the schemea of syndicates, trusts, corporations, monopolies or the millionaire class, who, oper-’ ating in conjunction, constitute what is known as the “money power,” or the plutocracy of the country, which, representing 4 per cent of the population, has managed to secure at least two-thirds of the wealth of the country. And this 4 per cent of the population, by devising schemes, the result of thinking, are now dominating the financial policy of the republic. They constitute the brains and backbone of the gold standard aggregation of plutocrats and expect, by the influence they may be able to exert by the use of money in the campaign, to substitute duplicity, and all the arts of chicanery for education. These gold standard advocates propose to do the thinking for the masses of the people, and lead them, as white horses lead droves of mules, or as bell wethers lead flocks of sheep. They are destined to experience sad disappointments. The great body of the people are thinkers along lines which involve their welfare. The mind forces of the masses are now intensely active. The chuck-a-lnck methods of education, the tricks and enchantments of the gold standard wizards will not be accepted as arguments by the rank and file of the Amerioau voters; or as reasons why they should abdicate these prerogatives to do their own thinking on all political questions, including the “free coinage” or the “sound money” issues. It may be expected that the Republican speakers and the Republican press, daring the campaign will indulge in the usual amount of vulgar epithets, when referring to those who favor free coinage and nphold the silver dollar as sound money. In 1896 the men who rallied to the standard of William Jennings Bryan, more than 6,500,000 of free men who would not bow down and worship the gold standard, as the slaves of old Nabnchadnezzar worshiped his golden image, were denominated “anarchists,” “commnnists,” “idiots,” “border ruffians,” “socialists," "blackguards” and other equally argumentative epithets. It was the goldbng method of education and will again be introduced, but with less avail. The people are now asking for facts, and they will ply the gold bugspeakers with questions which they will shrink from answering.
One of the choice declarations of the goldbngs has been that to coin standard silver dollars would drive gold out of the country, a condition which they depricated as a far reaching calamity. Well, from 1878 we have coined 423,000,000 of standard silver dollars, all debtpaying, legal tender, sound money dollars, bat gold did not, therefore, leave the country, nor was it ever shown that, owing to the coinage of silver dollars, any calamity, large or small, was created; and if such a charge or any other oharge intimating that the ooinage of standard Bilver dollars has been productive of a panic in business, commercial or industrial affairs, those who make the charge will be required to point ont when and where it occurred. This they will be unable to do. The people are thinking and bald assertion, vulgar epithets and duplicity will be swept away before the onward march of thought which education, worthy of the name, will emancipate the people from their money power vassalage. The farmers, the working men, the producing classes of the republic have, to an extent whioh cannot occur again, been terrorized by the soothsayers and magicians of the money power—a favorite prognostication being that the free coinage of silver would not only drive gold out of the country, but would, to the utter consternation of rioh and poor alike, bring home from Europe the stooks and bonds held there for payment Suppose this should be true, “what greater blessing,” queries a distinguished .United States senator, “could be bestowed upon this country than the giving to the nation and the people a sufficient amount of sound, irredeemable gold and silver coined money of our constitution to enable our people to transact all their business, develop all our resources and pay for and own all the obligations and debts of every kind of our government, states, municipalities and corporations and receive the interest and enjoy perfect financial independence of nil nations and all gold syndicates?” Bat thonghtfnl men will ask the goldbug ooncocters of the delusion relating to the return of securities held abroad, because of the triumph of free coinage in the United States, in what sort of money would the foreigners expect to be paid for their securities? Manifestly in silver, the goldbug theory being that the gold has already been driven out by silver. Tbe mere statement of the proposition reduoes it to a delusion that
no thoughtful man will consider for one minute, and yet this senseless vagary has been tnjeoted time snd again into the discussion of the money question as one of the impending disasters which would befall the country provided free coinage was to triumph and silver regain its rights at the mints to stand, as the constitution of the republic intended it should stand, as one of the metals out of which standard, legal tender sound money dollars shoald be coined. Again, the people have heard that already the limited coinage of the standard silver dollar, the sound silver dollar, the legal tender silver dollar is embarrassing the government by requiring vaults of large dimensions in which to store it. The educational knaves who resort to this trick laugh in their sleeves at the gullibility of those they impose upon. Up to 1896, as has been stated, 438,000,000 of standard silver dollars had been coined, of this amount more than 375,000,000 are in circulation in the form of silver certificates, leaving about 48,000,000 silver dollars in circulation, or about 67 cents per capita of population, or if the total amoon,t, 428,000,000 were in circulation as co/n, it would be only about $6 per capita of our population or if the total amount could be equally distributed to families of five persons, each family wonld have S3O. Along such lines the people are thinking and, as the campaign progresses, they will be heard resolutely demanding of the goldbug Republicans facts instead of delusions manufactured by plutocratic spoilsmen to deceive men who do not think.
ADYOCATES OF FREE SHYER : ,j / | Their Demands Just and In Consonance With the Constitution. In 1896 the main issue of the campaign was the free coinage of silver, or the unlimited coinage of silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1. The imperative demand was that silver shoald enjoy all the rights at the government mints which are accorded to gold. William Jennings Bryan, one of the “common people,” a superb leader, an orator in the best sense of the term, thonghtfnl, logical and eloquent, was the national standard-bearer, and to his support rallied 6,511,673 American citizens, who cast their votes for bimetallism, for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, for the same rights of silver at the mints that gold enjoys. The demand was just, eminently so. It was a lawful demand, in consonance with the constitution of the republic. It was a demand for an npright, impartial, even-handed, straightforward financial policy. And, besides, it was a demand as pnrely American as the national flag. It voiced the patriotic sentiment that the United States was, and ought to be, in shaping its financial policy free and independent, having no entangling alliance with any other nation. And here it shoald be said that no nation on the faoe of the earth consults the United State! in any way when a change of flnanoial policy is contemplated. When Japan decided to reduce the weight of her gold yen one-half without impairing its debt paying value, she did not consult the United States or any other nation; and when Russia reduced the weight of her gold coins to the extent that 10 roubles were mad equal to 15 roubles, the imperial autocrat asked neither permission nor consent of any other nation. It is only the degenerate advooates of the gold standard in the United States that become the willing vassals of European nations when a financial policy is disoussed. ’ The advooates of the gold standard in the United States, in oongress and out of congress, have filioitated themselves and the country that what they are pleased to (»11 the “silver craze” is dead, that the campaign of 1896 was what gave it the death stab, and that the advocates of free coinage, like Bret Hart’s Chinaman, were defunct, and that “subsequent proceedings would interest them no more.” Bat they have found it a remarkably vital and lively corpse, and now they are trying to kill it again. Indeed, they find it more vigorous, more energetic than in 1896. The more than 6,900,000 of voters who cast their ballots In 1896 for the remonetization of the silver dollar are as determined now as then to overwhelm the goldites in defeat and confusion. They know the principle for which they contended is bed rock, fundamental, constitutional and just The result in 1896 nsither dismayed nor demoralized them. They believe that the conspiracy to demonetize silver has wrought incalculable rain, and they believe with John Q. GarUsle, late secretary of the treasury, that “THE CONSUMMATION OF SUCH A SCHEME WOULD ULTIMATELY ENTAIL MORE MISERY UPON THE HUMAN RACE THAN ALL THE WARS. PESTILENCES AND FAMINES THAT EVER OCCyRRED IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. THE ABSOLUTE AND INSTANTANEOUS DESTRUCTION OF HALF THE ENTIRE MOVABLE PROPERTY OF THE WORLD, INOLUDINQ HOUSES, SHIPS, RAILROADS AND ALL OTHgR APPLIANCES FOR CARRYING ON COMMERCE, WHILE IT WOULD BE FELT MORE SENSIBLY AT THE MOMENT, WOULD NOT PRODUCE ANYTHING LIKE THE PROLONGED DISTRESS AND DISORGANIZATION OF SOCIETY THAT MUST INVARIABLY RESULT FROM THE PERMANENT ANNIHILATION OF ONE-HALF OF THE METALLIC MONEY IN THE WORLD.” The advocates of the gold standard rare nothing for the rain which Mr. Carlisle pictures ao gr-< , .c.iily. They
" I ' .7; constitute the “money power,” the plutocracy of the oonntry, a power that is soulless and heartless and in its greed as relentless as a hungry tiger in the jungle. And, strange to say, however paradoxical it may appear, this money power thrives on the calamines of the people, as wreckers thrive when the storms and the billows drive ships npon shoals and rocks. A fact that was brought into the boldest possible prominence when its managers bought government bonds with depreciated paper money,, the bonds costing them about 65 cents on the dollar, and then, byusing their influence over a Republican congress, made them payable in "coin,” gold or silver, and proceeded to collect principal and interest of the bonds in gold, and this has been going on for more than 80 years, until we have the astounding fact disclosed that on an in-terest-bearing debt of $^,321,311,918 in 1865 interest alone up to 1897 had been collected amounting to $2,511,169,065, or approximately $289,887,147 more than the total interest-bearing debt in 1865. It is this money power, this power that controls the wealth of the couutry, that advocates the gold standard policy and denounces all who advocate free coinage. These facts are stated that the friends of silver may have in full view the enemy that confronts them. It is as Bryan wonld say, the plutocracy at war with the producing classes—the men who create the wealth which, by infamous legislation, is poured into the coffers of the rich in a ceaseless tide. As an issne in the campaign row on, the friends of free coinage of bimetallism, the friends of the producing classes, may expect to have their leaders and their cause traduced by the advocates of the gold standard policy. A subsidized press will lend its energies to the nefarious work, but they will find the ranks of the free silver advocates compact and unbroken. They will find them shoulder to shoulder and Knee to knee, intrepid and nnfaltering, believing the welfare of the country depends upon achieving a victory by virtue of which silver shall regain its rights at the mints and place the option which the law confers upon the secretary of the treasury in the hands of a man who has not been corrupted by the money power, and who will give to silver its rightful station as a oath in all regards at the legal ratio, eqnal to gold.
FOREIGN TRADE LOSS
One of the Baneful Results of a Gold Standard. By Flavian J. Van Vorhln. The Indianapolis Journal and other papers and speakers advocating a gold standard are figuring out of our foreign trade a high state of prosperity. Such figuring is an exemplification of ignorance or an attempt to deceive. This nation, in trade with foreign countries, is like a firm carrying on business or a farmer running a farm. It is one institution. Baying and selling merchandise, paying out and receiving money must be considered together. There are always two sides to the account. One side is made up of the products sold and the money paid out. The other side is made up of what is bought and the money received. When the two sides are summed up the difference is the loss or gaiu. If the sum of all that has been sold and the money paid out is less than all that has been bonght and the money received there has been a gain. On the contrary, if all the goods sold and money paid ont exceeds all the goods bonght and money received there has been a loss. One side of oar foreign trade is made up of what goes ont of the oountry (exports) and .the other side of what comes into it (imports). In the accounts of the treasury department onr exports and imports are stated under three heads—merchandise, gold and silver. To determine the exact condition of such trade three tables must be consulted. It wonld be foolish for any man in attempting to determine the profit and loss in his business never to oount the money paid ont or received. Foolish as this may appear, it is precisely what gold standard advocates are doing in their attempt to figure prosperity ont of onr foreign trade. They exalt over the fact that in the year ending June 80, 1898, we exported $616,824,791 more merchandise than we imported. With expressions of joy, they hold this np as a “balance in onr favor” and as evidence of prosperity. This balance is taken wholly from the merchandise table. They do not take into consideration the export or import of money metals. They make no attempt to show what we got in return for this $615,324,791 of merchandise. The statement is left so that the only inference that can be made is that we reoeived money for it. It is curious that they did not oonsult the tables covering the export and impart of gold and silver. One of the speakers recently singled ont the year 1892 as an example, and stated that there was a balance of trade in onr flavor* of $202,876,686. This halanoe is the excess of exports over imports of merchandise daring that year. The tables show also ah excess of exports over imports of money metals amennttng to $18,851,846. If the excess of exports of merchandise is evidence of prosperity, the excess of exports of gold and silver mast be evidence. It never seems to occur to these advocates to inquire what we got in return for the total exoess of $216,227,080 in 1892, or what we got in return for the* $615,824,791 in 1898. How oan any m»n with sense enongh to bny a bushel of potatoes, and with mathematical knowledge enough to count the money to pay for them, oall this a “balance In onr flavor?” The treasury department does not account for this balance of exports. There is nothing in the reports anywhere to show what we got in return for it. It is a clear.loss to the nation. It mishit be
true that it might have’ its compensating gain in the year before or after. They will look in vain for this compensation either before cr after. From Jane 80, 1873, to Jane 80. 1898, there were bat two years in which the aggregate imports of merchandise and money metals exceeded the exports. In the year 1887 the excess was $309,685 and in the year 1888 it was $40,926,410. Daring the other 28 years of the period we sent oat of the country exports of merchandise and money metals in exoess of imports $8,588,823,172. This was a net excess of $8,547,087,104. It will be well for any man who is joyful over this to explain how this excess is an evidence of prosperity. In 25 years we have parted with this great wealth, and the reports of the treasury department do not show anything in return. There was no return. We g>t nothing for this vast amount of mone; metals that can be shown on the bookof themepartment. The American people wartt to know what became of it. Did we give it away? Let us have some explanation. When this has been answered, will they please explain what has oocurred to make It necessary for ns to export this vast wealth for which the reports of the treasury department show no return ? Let another thing be explained. How is it that from July 1, 1873, to this date the amount sent oat of the country each year of our products and money metals in excess of all received, for which the reports of the treasury department show no return, have been gradually increasing until from an excess of $57,000,0u0 in the first year of the 25; the balance has reached the enormous sum of $535,000,000 in the last year ? The claim that such a balance is a “favorable trade balance” can onlv be accounted for by ignorance or dishonesty. The failure to mention the tables covering gold and silver can have no parpose except to leave the impression that, having sold this amount more than we bought, we must be that mnoh ahead. To Include the merchandise in such statement and say nothing about the money metals is intended to leave the inference that, we have had sufficient importation of the money metals to balance the exportation of merchandise. Such au inference is unfounded. During the year 1898, the excess of the import of gold over the export was $104,685,283, while the excess of the export of silver over the import was $24,180,658, making the entire import of money metals over the export $80,704,625. This is all the reports show we received for the $615,324,791. In other words, there was iq the fiscal year jnst closed $534,620,166 of onr wealth sent out of the country for which the treasury department cau show no return. ■ Bimetallists charge that this loss is the result of falling prices caused by the abandonment of the bimetallic option. We ask the gold standard advocates to tell us what has; been received for this vast sum. When they have done so, then let them explain the condition that has made it necessary to send out of the couutry in one year an enormous amount of onr wealth for which we have received nothing that is shown on thq face of the treasury reports.
Keep It Before the People.
That no nation on the face of the earth, having plenty of silver ooin or bullion, ever suffered for want of credit. That no bank ever collapsed which had in reserve plenty of silver coin or bullion. —■ That no manufacturing enterprise in the world had to stop manufacturing and discharge its employes that had plenty of silver coin or bnllion. That no farmer in the United States ever complained that he could not pay off the mortgage on his farm, purchase stock and the most improved implements who had plenty of silver dollars. That no railroad, insurance company or merchant or other business enterprise ever went into the hands of a receiver which had ample assets of silver dollars. That tbe war upon silver is dictated by goldbngs who desire to control the finances of the country for their own selfish ends, a species of piracy all the more dangerous and nefarious, because of the intention to legalize the infamy. That the battle now on for the free and unlimited coinage of silver is not only wise as a financial theory, bat involves the perpetuity of the liberty of the people and of our free institutions. Keep it before the people that the battle now on for the free and unlimited coinage of silver is a battle for the ngh* and will be fought out to the bitter end regardless of oonsequences.
When Major McKinley joins the “inmemorable caravan” eto., there will be a chance for men like Whitelaw Reid, in writing his epitaph, to say, “The cemeteries where lie buried the men who fought all the American wars from 1776 to 1898, do not contain as many heroes as this solitary grave.” In the United States, where every volunteer soldier is a sovereign oitizen, there is no reason under heaven why they should not be treated by the government with as much consideration as the officers. In war the rifle is of more consequence than the sword. The nations of the earth unstintedly praise the American nation for the way it oondnoted the war with Spain, and yet Whitelaw Reid says McKinley entered upon the w with “feelings of reluctance and detestation.” Admiral Schley is a Democrat, and that is the reason the administration has tried to suppress him, and has kept him from maintaining his plaoe on the n»val roll.
