Bryan was just as loud and just, as “eloquent” jn advocating free trade in 1892, as he is in advocating free silver in 1896. He deceived and deluded the people then and he is trying to deceive and delude them now. Bbyan, the Free-Trader, says that Protection is “the most vicious political principle that has ever cursed this country.” Yet he will shortly be soliciting the votes of wage earners who have been idle, or ouly partially employed, because of the destruction of Protection by Bryanites. Some people have a super-abundance of gall.

The Republican party has always demanded ft' good dollar, and more than that, it has arranged that every honest worker had a chance of earning it Republicans have never legislated for the benefit of European workshops. They have endeavored to legislate for the improvement of the condition of American workers and Ameri- ’ can workshops.—Ex.

Farmers should remember that Bryan is ft Free-Trader, flu wants free wheat to come here from India, Russia and Argentina. He wants free barley from Canada and Russia. He wants free cattle from Canada and Mexico. He wants free wool from Australia, China and South America. He wants free hay and eggs from Cjtaiada. He wants free hops (rpm England, Germany and Rus- ; The principle of Protecting the manufactures and encouraging the navagation of America had been

distinctly proclaimed in the first law enacted by the new Government, and was thus made in a suggestive and emphatic sense the very cornerstone of the Republiwhich the patriots of the Revolution were aiming- to construct. Blaine’s “Twenty Years of Congress.”

The Democrats deluded the people into voting for free trade in 1892 and are trying to delude them into voting for free silver in 1896. The results of their success were disastrous to, the- country then, and, would be still more disastrous now. But we think that the people have learned by bitter experience that one Democratic delusion in a generation is all they can stand.

The quantity of British tin plate shipped here during the first half of this year was 48,772 tons less than in a decrease of nearly 50 per cent. The money loss to, the Welsh exporters for, the half year was nearly $3,000,000. We should like candidate Bryan to explain this, as he said in Congress that he “will not admit” there is a tin plate factory in the .United states. ~

The following table contains the amount of the different kinds of money in circulation in this country and in the treasury, and it would be a good idea to preserve it for reference during the coming campaign, when so many wild and inaccurate statements are likely to be made: In circulation. In treasury. Gold Coin .. 5448.000.000 Silver dollars 55,000,000 3513,000,000. Subsidiary silver (13,000.000 15.000,000.

In addition to this the government has silver bars, paid for in Sherman which c.ist it $119,000,000, but is not worth that much now. The face value of the nickels and cents in circulation may be about $1(5,000,000,

Vote the Republican ticket, stand by the Protective policy, stand by American industries; stand by that policy which believes in , American work for American workmen, that believes in American wages for American laborers, that believes in American homes for American citizens. Vote to maintain that system by which you can earn Enough not only to give you the comforts of life but the refinements of life; enough to educate and equip your children who may not have been fortunate by birth, who may not have been born with a silver spoon in their mouths; enough to enable them in turn to educate and prepare their children for the great possibilities of American lift'. I am for America, because America is for the common people.—Hon. William McKinley.

From Bryan's Own Home-

J. H. Foxworthy is a well known attorney of Lincoln, Neb., popocrat Bryan’s home city. He is ar uncle of Robt. A. Mannan, of Kankakee Tp., and wrote the latter a letter, under date of July 17, givingohis views of the situation as it appears to an observing and intelligent man, right among Bryan’s nearest neighbors: L eaving out, so far as can be and preserve the connection, the purely private and personal parts, the letter is as follows: Lincoln Neb., July 17,1896 Robert A. Mannan , Dear Nephew We have yours of the 15. Very glad to hear from you, but sorry you have so small an opinion of your kin folks as to even hint that we had gone off with the Bryan Craze- No my dear boy, we have not gone entirely crazy yet. The free silver Bryan Craze has, not got us by a large majority. I can say my little piece, and then you can judge for yourself as to how we stand. Ist The Bryan—Free Silver—democrat, —Demopop—PopAnarchist —16 to 1 Craze is not a principle but a ljumbug of the first water. 2nd Bryan can’t,be elected. He can’t carry a single state except a few of the Rebel states. He can’t carry Nebraska. He cau’t carry this eity. He can’t carry this county. He can’t carry his own ward. Mr. is all mouth. His mouth is his stock ih trade. He is a fine scholar, and the best orator I ever heard. He can tsl a lie, till he gets himself to believe it is true, and till his audience will believe it is true, though they know it is a lie, but he will never be president 3rd I want what few dollars I get to to be worth a dollar each.

Bryan’s Cross

Asked if he would sup- < port traction of the I Joni ocra tic national convention if it should fail to put free silver in the plats o r m, William J. Bryan answered: “SO HFLP ME GOD I WILL DIE IN MY TRACKS BEFORE I WILL SUPPORT IT.” This was in a speech , at -•Jackson, Alias. June 11, 1895, and was in reply to a direct question by Judge Braame. Mr. Bryan made similar declara- ■ tion at other places. As his Triends say they will make a cross his campaign device, the Cour i e r - Journal of- * fers them this one. —Louisville Courier Journal (Dem-)

Still Coining Silver.

One of the false statements most frequently repeated by the free silveriies is that there have been no silver dollars coined since 1893. The truth is, however the coinage of silver dollars is now going <>n, right along. The act of 1893 repealed the compulsory purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman law, but it did not stop the coining of new dollars, out of the vast stock of silver already accumulated in the vaults of the treasury. In this connection we publish below a letter received in Rensselaer only last Monday, from the superintendent of the Philadiphia m int. Mr. Thoa, Thompson, having heard prominent silverites say that nd silver had been coined since 1893 wrote to the director of the Philadelphia mint, askingif silver was not now being coipqd there, and received the following answer on the official letter paper of the mint: The Mint of the United' States at Philadelphia, Superintendent’s Office. July 24, 1896. , Mr. Thomas Thompson, Rensselaer, Indiana. Sit*: In reply to your letter of 22nd instant .you are informed that there—were coined at this Mint this year from January Ist to July 18th, 4,590,412 standard silver dollars. Subsidiary silver $827,050.20. The Mints at San Francisco and New Orleans have also coined silver dollars this year. Very respectfully • Herman Kutz, Superintendent. The original,of this letter is in Mr. Thompson’s possession, and he will take pleasure in showing it to his free silver friends,, at any time.

Vast Output of Cheap silver.

The last report of the Director of the Mint contains a table giving the silver coinage of the mints of the work! for the years 18731894, inclusive. The total number of ounces was 2,132 millions. The coinage value was 2,756 millions. This vast sum of silver bullion was coined during the twenty-two years subsequent to the crime of ‘73’. . Never was there as much coined during any preceding twenty-two year period; and yet, in spite of this enormous consumption for monetary pur-

poses, the com mer ical value of sjl ver hept on, falling during -the whole peroid. That/ is not so surprising in the light of the figures showing the enormously increased production of silver. The total output qf the world for the twenty-two years was 2,130 millions of ounces. For the last seven years the production was 979 million ounces, as against 1,151 million in the fifteen preceding years. The number of ounces coined during 1888-1894 was 747 millions. That was heavy, but the price of silver was not enhanced. The experiment of adding to the value of silver by coining it has been tried on a grand scale and, has failed utterly. An ounce of silver weighs 480 grains, while a silver dollar contains 371| grains of pure silver. An ounce therefore equals about 130 cents. During the three years the Sherman act, purchasing 4,500,000 onces of silver per month, was in force, $5,850,000 of silver certificates were issued monthly.

Policy Holders Warned.

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company is one of the largest companies doing business in the west. Mill ions of dol 1 ars loaped throughout Indiana and other western states have been borrowed through this company. The loaned by this company belongs to its policy holders, many of whom live in Indiana and some in Jasper county. President Green, in behalf of the company, has already told the policy holders that the company would be forced to pay its policy holders in the same kind of money which it receives in return for loans it has made, and if congress should enact law making fifty-three cents woijth of silver a dollar, this • 4-11*14! * • 111 ers or their families would receive. They have paid to the company money as good as gold but the company cannot earn dividends or any profits for its policy holders by keeping this money idle in its vaults. It must be loaned out and the money which it receives in return will be the money the policy holder. This will apply not only to this company but to all life insurance companies and building and loan assoiations. \

As Hood A Pop As They Make ’Em.

We have William J. Bryan’s own word for it in 1893 and 1894 that he was no longer a democrat and that he had become a populist. In addition to this we have the testimony of his friends at the St. Louis conventions of last week that he is a populist and not a democrat. Senator Stewart, republican silver plutocrat, of Neveda, said to the silver convention: I know William J. Bryan. HE BELIEVES WHAT WE BELIEVE. HE IS NOT A DEMOCRAT IN GOOD AND REGULAR STANDING. Judge Green of Nebraska said to the Populist convention: I know Mr. Bryan. I know him personally. He is my frienA and I say to you HE IS AS TRUI| A POPULIST AS YOU OR I. It will be seen, therefore, that there is no democratic candidate for the presidency in the field as yet.—Chicago Chronicle.

The Republican party is unreservedly for sound money. It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are therefore opposed to the free coinage of silver, except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such an agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard—the standard'of the most enlightened nations of the world. —Republican National Platform, 1896.

Now I work half the time and Ijve all the year through.” g Home seekers’ excursion tickets will be sold oyer the Monon Route to nearly all the points in the south at the rate of one first fare (one way); tick ts good re? turning on any Tuesday or Friday within 31 days from date’of sale.
