They never tire of proclaiming that the rich are all for the gold stand ard, and that It must, therefore, be a bad thing for people of' small means or bo means at all. Put Is It true that the wealthy are unanimously against Ire silver? It requires but little inves tigation to ascertain that such is not the case. Some of the most conspicu ous of the free sliver leaders are mil lionaires. Senators Teller, Jones, and Stewart are all rich men. The same Is true of Xewlands, w ho presided over the silver convention, and of Lane, who contributed 1350 to pay the ex pet.es of that body. The most active and Influential members of the Chicago convention were not poor men, but men of comfortable fortunes, most of them having large Interests In silver mines. These men are not In any trou ble about the payment cf their debts or the earning of a living. They are the holder, not the givers, of mort gages; and all their talk about solici tude for the welfare of the farmers and laborers Is. sham and mockery. A a matter of fact, the only men who are likely to profit by the triumph oC free coinage are those who own sil er mines. These men have furnished the money to carry on the agitation for silver. They have supported the va rious organisations by which lecturers have been sent out, and lobbyists kept In Washington, and literature scat tered over the country to boom the white metal It Is idle to suppose that they have done all this in the spirit of philanthropists, and for the purpose of preventing the crucifixion of man kind on a cross of gold. They have been actuated by motives of a strictly elfish order; they are today seeking advantage for themselves, without the j least desire to help anybody else. Their money is behind the silver cru sade simply because they are thus try ing to make a market for the product of their mines at an exorbitant price. The thing is a speculation with them, and if it wins, they will gain millions by it, at the expense of all the rest of their fellow eitiens. They have bul lion to sell, and their principal object in life is to foist It upon the country at twice Its real 'value and substitute It for the sound ami satisfactory money bow in use. Nobody can expect to be benefited by the free coinage but these mine-owners who are contributing so freely to the silver campaign fund; and surely the intelligence of the American people will not permit such a scheme to succeed. Candidate, Bryan evidently thinks an open confession Is good for the soul. The second edition of his famous speech made In the Chicago convention is now ready for distribution by the Democratic committee. The speech, as delivered did not phase Mr. Bryan, and he wired Be a tor Fau.l-ner a re quest to withhold the document from further circulation till he could revise and correct it. Mr. Bryan has "dressed up" his speech in many places, but the most noticeable change in it is the ap pearance of the famous phrase about the crown of thorns and cross of goTd In quotation marks. This Is a confes sion that the words which perhaps did mow- then anything else to secure the ywng orator's nomination were not original with him. The extracts taken from an old speech of Secretary' Car lisle, In w hich he said this was a strug gle between the "idle holder of idle capital" and , "the struggling masses who produce the wealth and pay the taxes of the country," are also placed In quotation marks. One chanse which Mr. Bryan has made in the text of his speech does him credit. The reference made to Mr. McKlnley as "that man who used to boast that he looked like Napoleon," has been modified into "why, the man who was once pleased to think that he looked like Napoleon." The officials of the treasury depart ment have been brought face to face with a phase of the silver agitation which affords an excellent object lesson Xor every voter. The supervising archi tect Is about to advertise for bids for the erection of a government building at Euffalo, and one contract is ex pected to amount to $600,000 or $700,000. "But the lowest bid may be $200,000 or $300,000 more than it ought to be," said a treasury official. "The trouble lies in the fact that It will take several years to finish out that contract. Be fore the contractor gets fairly started the country may go to a silver basis, and In that event he will have to pay much more for all his materials, while he will get from the government only the contract sum. If he makes no al lowance for the possibility of the coun try going to a silver basis and the sil ver bash; comes, he will go bankrupt. If he Is conservative ami allows for the effect of a change of monetnry standard In his bid and the rhnnitc does not come, he will be ahead Just that much and the government will bo Just so much out. This sort of specu lation In future contract, this uncer tainty as to vihethcr we are going to stay where wo are or g to s.miehlng else, is what la playing hob with the business of the country." According ts a la.ly who hns lived In Jerusalem for forty years, the Jew ish population of that city Is increas ing. "Twenty-two years ago," she jsays, "there were only between 1.V00O and M.eAi Jews in Jerusalem. In those days no houses were to he found out jslde the magnlllcent walls, the nates of I which were el sed at night. Since then j many changes have taken place, and the Hebrew population mainly on o ioount of the Increase of the Jca'.sh ! Immigration from Kussb -n. w stands at between S'ViW an.'. "'.cVi. Whole streets of hous. s have been built out 'side the on tne s..e of the un- jelent subur! in districts, which for hut- !drvds of ear have remained deserted It is not, however, only in Jerusalem itself that the Je.s ibound; but j throughout lil-:-.t;t c tiny are hu.ing j farms and establishing tin mselvea In a surprisingly ra'.i.l manner. In Jeiusa. lent they form at ( resent a 'arger oo-.i-munlty than either the Christian or the Mahometan." Citixens of the Untied States cross ing the line Into Canada are having an unpleasant experience Just now. Heretofore American money has passed current there without the slightest dif ficulty, but now the Canadians have decided that self-protection forbids them to accept our silver coins and silver certificates at their face value. This is a direct result of the silver agi tation In this country. It Is not sur prising that the Canadians are amazed at the idea that the United States may adopt the debused currency advocated by the Populists. If every one of the free sllvcrltes could make a short visit to Canada these days, there could not fail to be a marked falling o!T in the strength of the sentiment supporting Bryan. THOSE USEFUL CONDUITS, The kidneys and bladder, sometimes become torpid and weak from unascer tainable causes. When this occurs their discharging functions is of neces sity very improperly performed, and certain debris, which Is the result of natural bodily waste and decay, does not escape as it should, but remains to corrupt the blood and develop pois onous humors and dangerous as well as painful diseases. It Is one of the beneficent effects of Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters to gently stimulate the uri nary organs, and 'prevent them from lapsing into a state of inactivity, al ways provocative of their Inflammatory' degeneration and decay. How much better, then, Is It to adopt this mild diuretic as a means of inciting them to action, than to incur the danger of this destruction. To expel from the sys tem waste matter through the bowels and kidneys, and to regulate and arouse the stomach and liver, are among the chief uses cf this valuable remedy. Gold bugs and silver bugs are being worn as stick pins by young women anxious to show their political tenden ties. If asked the question " Have you got a stomach?" it would be safe on gener. al principles to answer "yes." But if you are sure of It; that is. If you ever feel any distress after eating or any pains of whatever description In the region of the stomach, you have got something more than an ordinary stomach. The stomach is a powerful muscle, and the proper remedy for a tired muscle is reBt.

Declaration of Principles The Uepubltcnns of (he l'nlie.1 mutes, Itssetubled by their leprcseittallves In National Convrtttlon. itppcnllus for tho popttlar and historical Justlilcullou of tltilr clitlms (o the matchless nchlev motits of thirty yems of Republican rule. curueMly and contbb'tttly address themselves to the nwakened Intelli gence, t xpeticiice and csnclence of their couuit) tn n In tin following dee laiutlon of fuels and principles: For the first lime ptnow the t'lvll War the American people have wit nessed the calitiultous cousi'ipieitces of full mid uttrcstritlni'd lemicrtli con trol of the tiovcrnincut. It has been res'oid of unparalbd liciclty, ll honor and disaster. In administrative niunagetuent It has ruthhasly saciiflc. cd Indlspenslble revenue, entailed an unceasing detlclt, eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by l'.0OO.IH0 III tune cf peace, forced nti dvr bal ance of trade, to a perpetual inenac hanging over the redemption fund, pawned Amerlctui credit to alien syn dicates and revcrael all the measures and results of uccesafut Republican rule. In the broad ffeet of Its policy tt has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production f r th Amer ican market. F.very rotiM, ration of public safety and Individual Interest demands that the govci turn-lit shall be rescued from tho hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable of conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with uni'iUttled success and prosperity A rmtrTiive Turiil. We renew and rniphaslte our allegi ance to the policy of protection as th bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy faxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home Industry: It puts the burden of revenue on for eign goods. It secures the American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price: It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It Is Just, fair, and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present tiomocratlc tariff as sertlonal, Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable laiilT on foreign Imports which rome Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degr.datlon to the wage level of other lands We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is u practical question, to be governed by the condi tions of the time nnl production; the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The country demands a right settlement and then It wants rest. Ki'ciirui'iiy With nilicr Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arr.mgenv nts negotiated by the last Republican administration was a national calamity, and we d-mand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize 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 hand In hand. Iiemocratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-establlhhed. 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. Protection to Snar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion ss 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 ami Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, as well as to those of the Bhop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Amerl- Ot TIIIC REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for tho up-building of our merchant marine and the protection of our shipping In the foreign carrying liado, so that American ships -tho product of Amer ican labor, employed in American ship yard, sailing under tho Hlurs and Stripe, and manned, oltlcered and owned by Americans -may regain lh carrying of our foreign commerc. The Financial Issue. "The Republican paiiy Is unreserv edly for sound money. II caused the enactment of tho law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 179; since then every dollar ha been as good a gold We ara unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to do buse our currency or Impair tho credit of our country. We are. therefore, op posed to the free coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement with tho leading commercial nations of lite world, which wo pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained no believe the existing told standard must bo preserved All our silver and pappr cuirrm-y now In circulation must bo maintained at a parity Willi gold, and wo favor nit measures designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligations of tho I'nltod Stairs, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at Ihe present stnndaid, th standard of the most enlightened na tion of the earth." Pensions fur Veterans. Th veteran of ths Union armle do serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should b given th preference In tho matter of employ ment, and thoy are entitled to tho en actment of such law as beat calculat ed to secure th fulfillment of th pledge mad to them In tho dark days of the country's peril. We denounce the practice of the pension bureau so recklessaly and unjustly carried on by tho present administration, of reducing pension and arbitrarily dropping name from the roll, a deserving th overeat condemnation of tho American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all tint) firm, vigorous and dignified, and all our Interest In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. Tho Hawaiian Island should b con trolled by the I'tilted Htate and no for eign power should be permltetd to In terfere with them. Tho N'learagua Canal should bo built, owned and op erated by tho t'nltrd State, and by tho purchase of tho !unlsli Island w should secure a proper and much-needed naval stutlon III the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and ' believe that the I'nlted Htate should exercise all the Influence It ran properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to tho gravest dangers and American property do stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican (itlsens and American property must be absolutely protected at all haiunl and at any cost. Monroe Doclrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full cxton.t and rvulllrm the right of the I'nulted States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the nppouls of any American state for friendly Inter vention In case of Kuropenn encroach ment. We have not Interfered, and shall not interfere, with the existing possessions of any Kurnpenn power In this hemlsphete, but those possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Inilejiemlence of Cnlia. From the hour of achieving their own Independence tho people of the United States have regarded with symnnthv the struggles of other American neonles to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep nnd 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. Tho government of finaln. havlmr lost control of Cuba and being; unable to protect the property or lives of resl- dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of tho United States should actively use Us Influence and good offices to restore peace and give Independence to the Island. Enlargement of Ihe Navy. The peace and security of tho repub lic 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. We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and a eoinploto svslein of harbor and sea coast defenses Iniiiikniiliiii Laws. For tho pMtietloii of tho rquallly of our American titlseuahlp and of the wage of our wotkingmeii against lb fatal competition of liMv-pticod labor, wo demand that the liiuiilgiath.il laws bo thoroughly rnforced, and rtond od a to exclude from entrant' to Ihe I'nltod Hlale tho who can neither n'ad nor wrli.
