“The Republican party not ouly believes iu sound money and the highest public faith and honor on the part of the government of the United States to all its creditors, but also it believes iu a tariff which, while raising enough money to conduct the government economics 1 ly administered, will serve the highest and best interests of American labor, American agriculture, American commerce and American citizenship.”— William McKinley. Here is a strong passage from Senator Thurston’s speech at Madison, Wis., which did not appear in the press report: There is no country on the face of thjs earth, I care not where you go, there is no country that opens its mints to the free coinage of silver but what all other kinds of money thau silver, and promises to pay in silver, have fled the land. You cannot go into a country of this earth where its mints are open to the free coinage of silver and find a gold dollar circulating among the people. Not only that, but you CAnnot go to-day into any country on earth that opens its mints to the free coinage of silver but what your dollar, gold, silver, or greenback, will buy twice as much as the best dollar that is in the bauds of the people of any of those countries In 1894 the average price of potatoes in this country was 53 oents, in 1875, one year later, the the price was only 25 cents. If it* was the “crime of 73” that thus knocked the price of potatoes down, it took it a long time to get in its work. Bat in 1894 there were only 170 million bushels of s produced in this country, while, ill 1895, the production was

400 millions. Of course men of sound sense will eee at once that it was the euormously increased production that put down the price. The case is the same with silver itself. In 1873 the world’s production of silver was 61,000,000 oiinces; (itself an enormous increase over all previous years except one or |wo) and this annual production bad grown in 1895 to the vast total of 165,000,000 qnnces. In the face of such an enormous increase as that, is it not plain to anyone who wants to see the truth, that this is the true cause of the decline of silver and that the act of 1873 has had nothing to do with it.

“The low prices of our farm products are owing to the decline of silver,” say the silyeriteß. Take w heat, for instance, the most cited of any farm product.—— The year 1875 was a big wheat year, but the wheat crop < f this country was only 7 bushels for each person in the country,—7 bushels per capita. By 1891 the per capita yield was 9 bushels. Besides that, the foreign market had been greatly cut into by great development of wheat culture in Russia, India and Argentina. But for all this increased yield and diminished foreign market, the country was so prosperous and people were such generous livers under the Republican policy of protection, that up to the year 1892, when that policy was overthrown, the price of wheat kept up to a good figure, irrespective of the decline of silver. Thus for 9 years beginning with 1873 and ending in 1881, the avernge price of spring wheat in Chicago was SI.OB. For the ten years following beginning in 1882 and ending in 1892, the average price was $1.03. As to what came nfier 1892, we have nothing to say. Democratic free trade carried the day, and “knocked everything galley west;” just as the Republicans said it would. And if Democratic free silver wins in 1896, its effects will be even more disastrous than Democratic free trade of 1892. With coru, oats and cotton, though, like w heat, the acerage and production per capita has greatly increased since 1873, yet until the fatal year of 1892 the average price kept up, very satisfactorily. The Democrats betrayed the peopie with specious sophistries for free trade iu 1892. Now they are trying to betray them again with specious sophistries for free silver. Will they succeed?* The man who gets bitten twice by the same snake is the symbol of, and the 6yuonym of all that is foolish.

Avaunt Gilman.

Fowler Republican Era. Ex-Township trustee, ex-county clerk for 8 years, ex-state senator for 4 years and ex-expo stations of further political favor from the only party that has, or can honor him, has cast his lot with the popocrats. We do cot accuse Mr. Gilman for leaving his party for his party’s good, nor allying his waning fortune with the popocrats because he could do himself or them apy good. There comes a time in the life of disquieted and ambitious souls, who are nbt properly ballasted with mother wit, when they must make a brefik, The later in life these breaks come the more disastrous they are to the brakee. With delicious charity we follow the foibles and follies of second childhood. Our quondam friend, after a life of houoral»)e service at the hands of the Republican party, now accepts the nomination of a party less thau ninety days old. The rattle box with a 53 cent dollar iu it was the alluring toy that pleased the infancy of out late Senator. Eagerly grabbing this box he straightway puts it in his mouth, and from now till the going down of the suu November 3rd the whistle in the end of the handle and the tinkle of the 53 cents in the box will fill the ears of Jasper and Newton voters. However there will no harm come o£*4his. We of Benton have a wonderful experience iu this line. Two of our most luminous luminaries apostatized, and whether we had a cataclysm or something worse your deponent forgetteth. The earth' did open iu great

chasms; lurid streaks painted the heavens; the air . was chett; blue blazes here and there; men’s knees knocked together; we trembled ami were in great anguish of soul. But we lived and still survive and prosper. We are proud,' ah, happy in the fact that, the sloughing off of the disgruntled has been a positive benefit to the Republican party in this county, because we have steadily increased our Republican majority since the defection of Templeton and Sw T an. There are others we cquld profitably spare and the party be better by their riddance. We would not scrape the barnacles off grand old craft but if they leave of their own accord let them go with thanks So we believe our friends in Jasper aud Newton will not be cast down because one of her lights has suddenly gone out.

Gov. (?) Shively.

A private letter from South Bend to a citizen of our Co. says: “Tell the people down there that B. F. Shively is-a sneak and beat his bauds out of their pay at the Cement works.” An item iu last week’s papers says “The Cement works at South Bend owned by B. F. Shively were sold by the Sheriff. Mr. Shively’s father-in-law had a mortgage p£ $40,000 on the plant.” Don’t this look a little suspic-, ions?

A Card From Judge Wiley.

To the Electore of the 30th Judicial Circuit: At the Republican State Convention, I was nominated for Appellate Judge for the sth jndicia 1 district. From the very day of my nomination up to the present, much speculation has been indulged by the public press, and much has been said by private and interested parties, as to whether or not I intended to resign my present position as judge of the 30th judicial circuit. Up to this time I have remained silent, because I did not deem it necessary or proper to make any public statement as to myTntentions iu regard to the matter; but now in view of the fact that one political party has nominated a candidate for circuit judge, and another party has issued an official call for a convention to nominate its candidate, I deem it proper to make the following statement - The term of office for which I was elected will not expire until November 14, 1898, and hence I am under no legal or moral obligations to vacate my office by resignation ; but in view of my candi- | dacy for appellate judge on the state ticket, and to the end that the electors may have the opportunity of choosing by their ballots my successor on the circuit bench, it is my present intention to resign as circuit judge, t , take effect at some date prior to the election. Certain conditions and circumstances wholly of a personal character, may however arise, between new and the election, which may render it necessary for me to change my present intention of resigning, and in which event I would expect to serve out my term on the circuit Jbepch, for which the people elected me. Respectfully, Ulric Z. W iley.
