Despite the difficulties of the way at. ! ike surrounding storm, we made rood progre s upward, aril in Laif an hour turned to the left and began euetdaf along the side of the mountain . r' our trials began in earnest. The s'urm was upon us in all its fury. The wind blew almost a hurricane, and the air was so filled with sleet nr.d tine sdow that it was bnmOsethlc to see more than 20 yards in any direct of Ttten w ould be an occ asional lull in the tumult, when we could take in our surrounding for a moraT.t but another cloud would ent us and till the air with driving torrent of froen mist. our after hour we struggled on th tkt nervous, frantic energy born of desperat ion. The r- and snow were covered " . ice thin as tissue paper, which Mused many a hard fall and made ry step a source of peril. The force of the wind. too. threw us dowu continually, and we were bruised from head to foot. If w e had carried steelted jH.le.x instead of puns tiny would have been of pre at service; the Itter nrre now as much hindrance as help, though we were soon to find them useful.

How broad it was w- could nuly conjecture. As we came up. Kellopg struck the ri?st with the butt of his pun. and I threw a nck upon the surface, which went slid.np and bouixiin'.' down the steep face with terrific velocity. We looked at each other in despair. "It's no use." I said. "Not a bit." wus the answer. We snt down and talked it OVOT. To retrace our steps was out of the question, and we could not climb to the top of the Held, probably a thousand feet, in our weakened condition. Suddenly KeMopp leaped to his feet and ru-dicd toward the slippery mass, trying out: "Come on; we've pot to do it. 111 take mine 11 is way."

The money piestiou is still nn issue, mid William J. Hryan. in his addres at llolyoke. Mass. It is often suggestby by gold democrats, by republicans who oppose the trusts, or by republicans who oppose iuiierialism. that the democratic party should drop the money question und make fight in HOQ upon a new Issue. That the money question vv ill not be dropped is now uppareut to every careful observer. The republican party now seeks to make the gold standard permanent by legislativ a act. The advocates of the gold standard have no plan for securing the necessary increase in t be volume of standard money. Their ultimate purpose is to withdraw from silver its legal tender qualities and make gold the only legal tender. Then e-.ery dollar of debt will lie paid in gold alone, and every debtor will lie compelled to find the gold, no matter how scarce it w ill be. or bow difbcult to secure. Kvery disturbance in gold standard countries will shake our IssMM inj systefll ami the debtors will be the lirst ones upon whom every disaster will fall. Sine- ; - . we have secured large amounts of improinised and unproteetid gold from the discoveries in Klondike, and also because of the famine in Kurope. which created 11 demand for our brcadstuffs at increased prices. The secretary of tlo- treasury excuses the loaning of government money without interest to national banks on the ground that this is neccsary to prevent an injurious contraction of the currency. If. with the increase, the secretary is afraid to keen the revenues in the treasury for fear of disturbing business conditions, what would have been the condition but for the unpromised addition to the money supply, and what would be our condition if any Kuropean di.st urbauce caused on outflow of gold? How can the democratic party avoid the issue without confessing the gold standard to lie desirable? The r publican, party not only seeks

to Make the gold standard permanent, but la the tame bill it seek" to tak.-f--. m tlte federal government the right to issue paper money and to surrender that right tonc.tional banks. The people never voted for such a proposition at nn election. The power to control and expand the currency at will enables the financial magnates to control the markets and secure for themselves fabulous fortunes at the expense of their victims. The democratic party cannot drop the money question without turning the people over to the tender mercies of the bunk presidents, who control business condition! by controlling the mrmey supply. There is no party, there is no group of men, working earnestly and diligently for the restoration of bimetallism at any other ratio than sixteen to one. If the opponent, of industrial trusts think that such trusts can be destroyed by making peace with the money trust, they deceive themselves. Behind the industrial trusts stand the money magnate, who defend the go'd standard. To make terms with the advocates of the go'.il standard in order to center the tight against industrial trusts would alienate a majoritj of the sincere oppmn nts of all private monopolies without a corresponding gain from the ranks of advocates of the gold standard. Daring Mr. Cleveland's administration the gold democrats were in control, but the trusts were r.of Interfered with. Under the present administration the gold republicans nre in control. 1 ut the trusts are not interfered with. The trusts can only be destroyed by those who oppose the principle of mono oly xvherevcr applied. Advocates of the gold standard use the same epithets against the opponents of trusts that they used against the opponents of the gold standard. If n man nppeoed the gold standard in IfN be was a demagogue: so, it seems, is the man who opposes trusts OW, The opponent of the gold standard was nccuscd of being deficient in brains; so is the man w ho opposes the tru- ts now. It la snggested that s me (fold dtesn ocrnts will return to the party if the party will give up sfrrOf and light imperialist'! Who are the supporters of imperialism? The same people, ns a rtde. who snpjiort the gold standi' d. national bank currency and industrial monopoly. I do 1 ot mean to say that nil the adeocatea of ÜM g"ld standard favor either imperialism or the trusts, but I do -ay that both imperialism nnd the trusts find the Majority of their supporters nmonp the gold standard. The republican 1 :;rt v oppoees the income tax because it is not willing to make the rih bear their fhare of the rapeasea of the government. It favors the gold standard because it gives to the financiers nn advantage over xvealth-proflucer. It favors nationnl hunk currency. liecnue It gives to naConnl batik n vcluabb- privilege del:ied to the rest of the people. It favors trnst. because it is more Interested In those who mnke money out of monop9W thr.n It Is in the people, who nrc efetlMa fat every prl-ate monopoly, and so nnturally taheO the side of the syndicates that want to exploit the Philippine islands.

perial, sh aadi otai rlinaj aJUaaeea with Kuropean nations. The position of the democratic party on the money question will not prevent the return of gold democrats who oppose imperialism, nor will it deter republican opponents of imperialism from acting with the democratic party In thai election. Those who see in the? democratic party the means of saving the republic from the dangers of an imperialistic policy will hate Mora now Mail tia la the party, because of its honest und courageous adherence to bimetallism, than they will have if the party was willing to drop any principles or policy in the hope of securing votes. The advocates of independent bimetallism Ik lieve that the opening of the mints to the free nnd unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present ration of sixteen to one will restore the parity between gold and silver, increase t be volume of standard money, ami bring the nations o the earth back to the double standard. If our faith is confirmed by experience, the objections to bimetallism will disappear if our faith is not vindicated by results, the people will hav a chance to apply a remedy in 1904. But if we enter upon a career of imperialism and substitute might for right, force for reason, and the uncertainty of conquest for the certainty of peaceful progress, it will be more difficult for the nation to retract its steps. The concessions must not ho made by the minority, but by the majority. Those w ho ale responsible for the administration which has involved us in the calamities of Kuropean colonial p'di'-y will not attempt to write the platform of the democratic party. They will be content to act with the democratic party this year, reserving the ri-'ht t'. act as the please in future contests. PROPERTY RIGHTS

In 106 the republicans made a great outcry that the democrats lacked respect for property rights, and doubtless secured many votes thereby. Hut to-day it is apparent that no party respects property rights less than does the party of HlWHIf. McKinley i Co. Individual rights to compete in business are trampled upon by the trusts protected and fostered by the republican party. Predatory wealth is encouraged in its raids upon the people, and an endeavor is to be made to form a

money trust which is to be the king of them all. It is desired by the lawless element which is in control of the republicau party to place the power of issuing paper MOSejt la the bauds of the banks.

The gre, nbacks are to be retired aud 1 non-interest-bcaring debt is to be taken up and an iuterest -bearing debt I bstituted. Apropos of the proposition, William J. Bryan says: "The fact that a permanent natioual bank issue upon present security will necessitate a permanent and increasing national debt is compelling attention, and thOM who believe that th people should lie consulted in mattersof legislation will uot forget that this change from greenbacks to national bank notes is being attempted without the qtM itiOU ever having been submitted to the people at a national election." T hus the property rights of the peo pie are to lie evuded. Additional taxation is to be imposed without just cause and the faith of the government is to be broken. These facts arc appalling to the men of property in this country. It has become apparent to them that the danger which tbn ateua property rightsconiea from republican and not democratic sources. Thai the argument on property rights as urged against democracy has lost force and U proving a boomerang to the republicans. Chicago I lis pa tili llejeeled Ii lis l'rlenda.

Mr. Ban 1 j LoobbIs Nelaoa la so well known us a careful, aMMClsntiOMI and intelligent journalist that his "intcrpn tations" of the president's "colonial" policy iu the Sunday I'ost-Dispatcb may be aeei ptet. um authoritative. Mr. McKinley talked freely, w -ely choosing this as the best way of getting his views before the country. The president ' iwiiioiinceuient is the most important political utterance since the establishment of the governmi nt, except, perhaps, t be emancipation proclamation. It is revolutionary. "The president believes that congress has plenary power over Hawaii, Porto Rico and the I'lii 1 ippinea." That is, in governing the colonies, congress lr not restrained by any constitutional limitations. It is absolute. Further, congress "may refuse to the natives (of Porto Rico. Hawaii, etc.) and to t he Aim rlcan citizens w bo may go to our colonies the right of jury trial, the rigid of free speech, the right to be ir trmn, Ihe right of peaceoble aeeemhlaga and of petition." The president's conclusions urc not the result of legal inquiry or judicial study. Thov are the product of partisan necessity. "Our new possessions must not be permitted to injure any of our protected interest-." This doctrine, though revolutionary, is not new or strange. The Roman republic conquered foreign peoples and governed tfaeai for the benefit of BoMe and Rom:ii;s. Mr. McKinley proposes to do the same th'nig- to govern the people of Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Filipinos without reference to their welfare, but primarily for the commercial benefit of A mericaiis. und in order to accomplish this he pffopooea to repudiate every principle of American policy and give the Us to every American principle.

That the trusts directly affect the pri.'lui ' rs of the country, particularly the farmer, is so plain that a blind man can perceive it. This is the way Judge Qemrga W Derma a, of Indiana, puts it: "The farmers of this count ry are the people w ho are most (Md more directly affected than any other proportion of the electors. "The fanner is affected as a producer and as a BOB Usnor, He goes to bed at night with prices about ns follows: Wheat, 70 cents; corn. 25 cents; pork. $4.50 per hundred; barb wire, two dollars; nails, two ilollars per hundred; und well pipo"1. j cents per foot.
