Bryan and Sewall the unexpected, recently appointed leaders of the Dem ocratic party, are not meeting with the approbation In the East which might foretell their success In November. The work of the Are department yes terday under the direction of Street Superintendent Holt, In cleaning off the dirty streets, called forth the praise of every business man on Commercial street The remarkably good work done by the various regatta committees Is de serving of the highest praise from As torian. No other event In can possibly do as much for the city at large and the port of the Columbia as the regatta and firemen's tournament, and those gentlemen who have sacri ficed their own personal business ln:ei ests to further the general good of the community, must be classed aa the ery best of patriots. but It clrculatea at par because It la possible for the government, under ex Istlng conditions, to save It from depre ciation. If, however, the amount of such money should be Increased to the extent proposed by the free coiners. It would Inevitably forfeit this advantage, and slump to the actual market value of the bullion that It represents. Then It would be only a JtV dollar In pur chasing power, and laborer receiving It would be losers by the difference be tween It and a loOo dollar. It is the purpose of the Republican party to prevent this threatened decline In the value of the silver dollar to those who receive It for wages and ex pend It for food and clothing. This Is what la meant by the maintenance of the gold standard. As the case now stands, the silver dollar Is worth as much as a gold dollar, and tfu? Repub licans ore In favor of keeping It so. j In other words, they believe that the prvsont currency sys.em. under which all font! i f mc.n-y- sold, silver a:.d pa per are equally good, should not be abandoned or undermined. The de mand for cheap money Is res sted by them because It means that the power of the government to protect the sliver dollar acalnst depreciation would be taken away, and It would pass only t Its Intrinsic value, Under those cir cumstances the laborer would be oblig ed to do uv worth for .VV worth of sil ver bullion. He would have no choice In the matter, as the cheap silver dol lars, being legal tender, could be forced upon him. In spite of all his protests and complaints. The Republican party I pledged to see that such an unfor tunate situation does not ensue: and on that account It deserves the support of all voters who work for wanes and whose Interests It Is to got as much aa possible for their labor. To main tain the gold standard is to keep the silver dollar at its present ltXV value, and of all men In the country the la borers are the ones who should be most anxious to avert the change that the free-coiner are trying to accomplish. Free coinage would mean an unlimit ed number of fifty-three cent silver dollars, and the government could not keeo these afloat at the fictitious value f one hundred cent. Like the dollars of free coinage Mexico, they would cir culate at their bullion value, while gold dollars would retain their present pur chasing power in the markets of the, world. Thus silver dollar would be at discount, or, in popular phrase, gold would be at a premium. If it became evident that we were to have free coin age there would be a rush to antici pate this result The treasury's hun dred millions of gold would be drawn out in a twinkling, and a premium would be bid for the precious metal. which would be no longer currency, but a commodity, as it was during the civil war. Gold is too sensitive to remain until "driven out" The six hundred millions of yellow metal one-half of all the metallic money would disap pear like winking, and before the gap eould be filled with silver there would be a terrible object lesson, in which the foolish advocates of 'sixteen to one" would share. It is hardly possible that Spain will be able much longer to withstand the double drain which Is being made up- n her to maintain the war in which she has entered. Lives and money have been poured into Cuba without avail, Spain has tens of thousands of her best young men on the Is land, and, in the light of former re sults, not one-fourth of them can hope to leave alive; she Is virtually bank rupt and has already been put to the last extremity to raise funds to meet the war expenses. A close estimate places the number of men sent to Cuba to subdue the uprising as 200,000, and in three months no progress has b-en made, and more are to follow some thing like eo.000. And Cuba will swal low them up as she has done before. In these drafts that are being made by Spain the poor and those of moder ate means must submit to the draft, while their money protects the rich, j The ruled pay the penalty of misrule, If Spain should risk all the money of her wealthy class, as she risks the lives ef the poorer class, war operations would soon stop. Cuba's shackles would drop or the king would gain a victory suddenly. The longer the war lasts the deeper the people are plunged In debt, the better it Is for the Shylocks of Eu ropean capitals. The greater the ne eesslties of their customers, the better bargains they can drive. If the ex penses of the war had to be paid as the war progressed, by levying on mon ey as lives are levied upon, It would be to the interest of those having the mon ey to terminate hostilities. It will ben efit the common people of Spain but little If Cuba should be retained. The wealthy men will be the only benefi ciaries, through monopolies granted and privileges extended. The poor will bear a heavier burden of taxes than be fore and mankind will be retarded by Just so much. Human life is worth less today under Spanish rule than the prospect of holding an office and plun derlng the people. The old story of Prometheus is a parable. Prometheus was on terms of Intimacy with the Gods. From them he stole fire and gave It to men. For this he was bound to the rocks of Mount Caucassus, and vultures were set upon him. They only ate his liver. This grew again as fast as It was pecked away. Are his sufferings to be Imag ined? . Take a modern interpretation of this parable. There is no cooking without fir. In cooking and eating the mis chief lies. The stomach Is overtasked, the bowels become clogged, they can not dispose of the food that is given them. The impurities back up on the liver. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is more than equal to the vul ture of dyspepsia and its kindred dis eases.

No time should be lost In resorting to a suitable remedy. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters Is the most reliable and w Idely esteemed medicine of its class. It re moves the cause of constipation, or of undue relaxation of the Intestines, which are usually indigestion or a mis direction of the bile. When it acts as a cathartic it does not gripe and vio lently evacuate, but produce gradual and natural effects, very unlike those of a drastic purgative; and Its power of assisting digestion nullifies those Irrl-1 tatlng conditions of the mucous mem brane of the stomach and Intestinal No woman living but likes to try he power on all men who come within her ken.

The three hundred Pennsylvania la borers who refused to take their pay in silver the other day and demanded gold were Influenced by a false Impression as to present currency conditions; but their action served, nevertheless, to teach an important lesson. Their em ployers paid them in gold as a matter ef voluntary concession ignoring the met that he could have compelled them to take silver. It made no difference to him, and It made no difference to them, that he chose to comply with their de mand. Their mistake was In suppos ing that the silver dollar Is now worth only 50c or 51c, whereas It Is really worth 100c, or, in other words. It is as good as a gold dollar in purchasing power. Its intrinsic value is only about half as much as that of the gold dollar, A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE. D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharle, N.

We believe the repent of the reel proclly arrangements negotiated by the last Ii- publican administration was a national calamity, ami we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equnllxe our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products In the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go band In hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreements of mu- tual Interest Which gain open markets for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic Industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Th veterans of th Union armlra de serve and should rocelv fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given th preference In the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to th en actment of such laws as best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment ot the pledge mad to them In the dark day of the country's peril. W denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by th present administration, of reducing pension and arbitrarily dropping name from the rolls, a deserving th vrt condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all time Ortn, vlgorou and dignified, and all our Interests in the western homl. pher carefully watched and guarded The Hawaiian Islands should be eon- trolled by the United Htatrs and no for eign power should be permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by the United State, and by the purchase of the Danish islands we should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indie.

Monroe Doctrine, We reassert tho Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the 1-l.rht i,t the Unulted States to give the dortrlnc effect by responding to the Appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention ln cose of European encroach ment. We have not Interfered, nnd shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power In this hemlsphete, but those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the Eiiroptnn powers from this hemisphere, nnd the ultimate union of all the English- speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Protection to Supr Producers. We condemn the present administra tion tor not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than 100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, aa well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri- Independence of Cuba. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American people to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep and abid ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op pression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con- test for liberty. The government of Spain, having Inst control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi- dent American citizens or to comply with lis treaty obligation!-, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use its Influence and good offices to restore peace and give independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repub- Ilo and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations of the earth demand a naval power commen surate with Its position and responsi bility.
