KM Third street One by one the South American countries hare been following the gen era! advar.ee of civilization In adapt tag their monetary systems to the gUd standard. Braxll, Chill and Argentina, the three greatest of them, have al ready done so. Venexuela only the other day adopted the gold standard ty constitutional amendment, and a recent dispatch from Colon says that Costa, Rica has decided to adopt gold as the basis of Its currency and that "the entire country la In ecstacles be cause the present sliver currency Is to be called In." This will leave Mexico more lonely than ever In Its adher ence to the obsolete silver standard. unless Mr. Bryan and the Populists can have their nay and the United State Joint Mexico and Peru, and a few small republics with no mints of their own, by restoring the dollar of debased value. The shrewd promoter of free and un limited coinage of silver understands wen that to debase our currency would bring tremendous profit to capital seeking foreign markets for American products. One of these selfishly wise politicians Is candid enough to admit his motive. "W want to push our products Into all the Wrketa of the world,"' he reasoned." "Th only thing that stands in our way is the high price of labor, Every thing we make baa come down in price. Labor fa still at the old high price. If free coin age of silver became the law we could pay labor in to-cent dollars, whir!, would bring It down to the level of other, commodities as they rule now. This accomplished, w- could compete with any country . the world in for eign markets." There Is no- gainsay ing the truth of this. Labor alone re mains high. The dollar It no earns has the purchasing power of 100 cents. When paid in free silver the purchas ing power of the dollar will be 50 cents. Labor understands this ani Is going to vote solidly against the de basement of the currency. American farmer. If you give your vote to pay labor 50-cent dollars, will that do you any good? Labor will then have to do with half the products it buys now fn.m you. Exporting capital will reap a great reward, but you, American far mer, you will be, with American labor, the victim of the most colossal cheat ever played upon an intelligent and free people. BRYAN'S PLATFORM AND FEDERAL JCDICIARr. THE . It Is not alone the free coinage of Uvar that makes the popocrat plat form objectionable, vicious as thot is. Sue tendency of the whole document i in the- direction of bad government and of lawlessness. Tte tovert attack on the supreme toart and the Implied threat that it win be reorganized should the popo crat cime Into pJ'ier ousht to alarm every right-tMtjk'rjT and latriotlc citi sen. Not rr.ly wvuld tiv f- : lvitv.s reorganize the court, but they would take aa-ay, as far as lies in their power. Its Independence. How. Mr. Bryan understands the platform In this respect Is plainly shown by the comments of the Omaha World-Herald. That pap-r declares that "plu tocracy is entrenched behind the su preme court." What does this mean? It means that men of wealth are pro tected in their property by laws that bi supreme court upholds. And what is the Just Inference from such a state ment? It is that this "entrenchment" must be broken down and the wealth of the country left defenseless before the attacks of agrarianism and com munism. A further remark of the same paper shows how this is to be done: "If the people of the United States are rictormlned to secure Justice In taxa tion they must be prepared to go to the root of the difficulty and adopt an amendment to the constitution provid ing for the election of all United States Judges for a definite time." There you have It. The independ ence of the Judges, which the framers of the constitution thought would be best preserved by giving them a life tenure. Is to be taken away by an amendment to the constitution! For a hundred years we have had a national Judiciary that has been the pride and the boast of every true American. It has been the bulwark of the constitution and the Union. It has stood like a rock against the passion f the multitude on the one hand sjbI the encroachments of power on Ihe other. It haa preserved liberty and rebuked license, and like a central sun haa held in equipoise the centripe tal and centrifugal forces of popular government All the world over it ha. sbeen the most admired part of our constitution, and it ha been the chief Instrumentality in preserving the union of the states. When a large and determined party In the country 1ms ttui expressed lt hostility to a co-ordinate branch of the government and would destroy the bal ance wheel of the constitution It 1 time that patriots of whatever name should rise In their power and over whelm It. The camp of the popocrat and popu list I no place for patriots to train In. The constitution as It Is should auftlce for them, and that party la greatly to be feared whse purposes can only be accomplished by breaking down or changing that constitution. Chicago Times-Herald.

It Is said that the appropriations will not be nearly enough to permit the carrying out of the program to the end. But considerable progress Is expected this year toward placing our coasts In a condition to defy ag gression, and It may be hoped that congress will do everything possible to help along a purpose upon which the safety of the nation so largely de pends.

A preparation which Is adapted to the relief and cure of nllments to which members of a household is most subject, and which Is not only al leged to do this, but has long and un faillngly proved Its ability to do It. assuredly deserves the title of a rella ble Family Medicine.

If well cooked. foods are partially digested: If poorly cooked they are lees digestible than In their raw state. If you are a victim of faulty cooking: that Is. If you suf fer from Dyspepsia, the rational cure must be looked for In an artificially gested food, and a food which will at the same time aid the digestion of other foods. Such a preparation virtu ally rests the tired digestive organs, thereby restoring them to their nat ural strength.

Cleric Declaration of Principles The Itcpiilillcnii of lli I'nlied State., assembled by their representative In National Convention, appealing for th popular and historical Justification of thrlr claim lo the niatchles achlrv mem of thirty year of Kepubllcnn rule, earnestly and ruiirldently address themselves to tliv awakeued Intelll geiu-e, rxperleiic and conscience of their countrymen In the following deo- liiratlun of fmis and prlnolplea: Kor the (list time lnce the Civil War the American people hav wit- ncsxed the rulmnlloua consequence of full ami unrestrained Democratic con trol of the tlowriiiiieut. It ha been a record of unpiitiilWd Incapacity, dl liouor and dlsnater. In administrative miiiiitsiement II turn ruthUssly aacrlllc- I'd IntlispermtMe revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current expense with hoi rowed money, piled up the public debt by I'MS.iWO.OiW in timti of pence, forced an adverse bul nmv of trade, to a perpetual menac hanging over the redemption fund, panned American credit to alien yn dlcales and reversed all the meaaure and result of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of It policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed fai'tiie(, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production w hile illmu Intlng foreign production for the Amer ican market. Kvery consideration of puMlo safety and Individual Interest demand that the government hatl be rescued from the hand of those who have hown themselves IncapabU of conducting It without disaster at horn and dishonor abroad, and ahall b re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with unequaled success and prosperity. A Proipiiive Tarifl. We renew and emphasis our altegl ance to th policy of protection as Iht bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxed foreign pro duct and encourage home Industry; It puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods. It secure th American market for th American producer; It uphold th American standard of wage for the American wurklngman; It put the factory by th aide of the farm, and make the American farmer less deendent on foreign demand and price; It diffuse general thrift and found the strength of all on the strength of each. In It reasonable ap plication It 1 Just, fair, and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dls crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce th present Democratic tariff aa cctlonal, Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to bulnrs enterprise. We demand uch equitable tariff on foreign imports which com Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, bul will protect Amer lean labor from degredatlon to th wage level of other lands. Wis are not pledged to any particular (chedule. The question of rates Is a practical question, to be governed by the condl tlons of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. Th country demands a right settlement and then It wants rest. Reciprocity Wiih Oilier Xaiiiins. We believe the repeal nf the reci procity arrangement negotiated by th U.st Republican administration was a nntlomJ calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restriction which now obstruct the sal of Amer ican products In th ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar- knts of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measure of Republican policy, and go hand 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 wo don't produce, reciprocal agreement of mu tual Interest which gain open market for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestlo Industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and find an outlet for our surplu. Protection to Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producer of this country. Th Republican party favor uch protec tion a will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar the American people use, and for which they pay other countries mora than 1100,000.000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our product to thoie of the mine and the field, aa well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well a to the finished woolen of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri Olf TIIIC REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for th up-bullding of our merolmnt nmliu and the protection nf our shipping In th foreign carrying tradn, so that American hlp-the product nf Amer ican labor, employod In American lilp yarda, mlllng under the Star and Kill pes, and manned, oltlrered and owned by Americans may regain th carrying of our foreign commerce, The Financial Issue. "The Republican party I unreserv edly for sound money. It caused III enactment of the law providing for the resumption of phI payment In Wt; Inca then every dollar ha been a good gold.

We are, therefore, op posed lo the free colmmo of silver, x cpt by International agreement with th landing commercial nation of the world, which we pledge ourselve to promote, and until inch agreement ran be obtained w believe the existing told standard must b preserved.

The veteran of the Cnlon armlr de serve and should receive fair treatment and grnerxiu recognition. Whenever practicable they hould be given the preference In the matter of employ ment, and they are entitled to the en actment of such law a beat calculat ed ti eocur th fulfillment of the pledge mad to them In the dark day of the country's peril. W denounce the practice of the pension bureau u recklessly and unjustly carried on by the preewnl administration, of re-luring pension and arbitrarily dropping name from the roll, a deserving th evereet condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should b at all time) Arm, vigorous and dignified, and all our Interest In th western hmh idier carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Island should be con trolled by tha I'nlted Slat and no for eign power (hould be permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built, owned and op erated by th I'nlted State, and by the purchase of the Danish Island w should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indie. Armenian Massacres. The massacre In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and just Indignation of the American peopl, and we believe that the United State hould exercise all the Influence It can properly exert to bring the atrocltle to an end. In Turkey, American rel dent have been exposed to the gravest danger and American property de troyed. There and everywhere Amer ican cltlxens and American property must be absolutely protected al all i hazurda anJ at any coat. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reufilrm the right of the I'nulted States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any Amerlrrtn statu for friendly Inter vention In case of European encroach ment. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any Kuropean power In this hemisphere, but those possession must not, on any pretext, he extended e hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and th ultimate union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Independence of Cuba. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of the United Slates have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American people to free themselves from European dom Inatlon. We watch with deep and abld Ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriot against cruelty and op presslon, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or live of resi dent American citizen or to comply with Ita treaty obllgatlnnes, we believe that the government of the United State should actively use Ita influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of the Navy. The peace and security of the repub lic and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence among the nations of th earth demand a naval power commen surate with lu position and responil- blllty. We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and compute system of harbor and coast dvfensr. Iimiiluriiilmi Laws, fur th itectlon of the equality of our American cltlimiahlp and nf the wage of our win kinsmen nualnst th fatal eotiipetltlon nf low-priced labor, we demand that the Immigration laws be lliorousthly enforced, and so mutid ed a lo exclude from entrance In the Pulled Stale those who can iwlthsr read nor write. I'lvll Service. The Civil Service law was placed on the statute book by the Republican parly, which ha alnay sustained It, sud w renew our repeated declara tion that II shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Ballot. We demand that every cltlten of th I'nlted Slate (ball be allowed lo cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot ahall b counted and returned a cast. I.uiebl K Omdeniiiftl. W proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the uiuivlllfd and barbarou practice, well kilos n aa lynching or killing of human being. uapced or charted with crime, without process of law.

Frrf Homesteads.

Huch are th principles and policies of the Itepubll can party. Ily these principles we will abide and these principles we will put Into execution. We risk for I hem the considerate Judgment of th..
