Instead of being show ed to the front by the silver coalition they are being forced to the rear. Be fore the campaign Is over it would not be surprising to see a considera ble number of these misled men return to the ranks of the Republican party with whose principles they agree, and wind up on election day by casting a god sound money ballot for McKinley and Hobart. The advocates of free silver have two arguments with which they bolster up their theories and on which they ask votes. First, they assert that with the free and unlimited coinage of silver at t to 1 and the flat of the government making it legal tender for both public and private debts, the silver dollar will be just as good as the gold dollar. If this be true, how is the laborer going to get the silver dollar Into his pocket any easier than he can the gold dollar? And will not the farmer be compelled to part with Just as much wheat or other produce to get the silver dollar as he would to get the gold dollar? Second, they argue that the free coinage of silver will raise the price of produce and labor; that the farmer will get Si to tl.iO In sliver for his wheat where he now receives only about 60 cents in gold. If this be true, does that not contemplate a depreciated silver dollar worth Just one-half as much as gold? Both arguments cannot be true at the same time. They exhibit the great fal lacy which underlies all of the argu ments put forward to excite, confuse and mystify the ignorant and discon tented. Across the Atlantic comes a wail of truly British despair. English Journal ists have figured it out that no matter which of the presidential candidates wins, England will surely suffer. If McKinley is victorious then they look for a renaissance of high protection, with all its disadvantages to Rritish in dustries. The administration of Bryan threatens, they say, to bring about a convulsion which might shake the whole world to its foundation. It Is very affecting, of course, to hear the cries of our transatlantic relatives and friends, but we have troubles of our own, and our normally-sympatheltc hearts are hardened w hen we remem ber that the British free trade propa ganda Is largely the cause of the de pression and discontent that found voice in the Democratic and Populist platforms. Insufficiency of national in come, the result of means that tickled England Imensely, compelled the Issue of bonds and encouraged that conser vatism of capital and that general dis trust which has crippled industry and manufactured tramps. It a!.o started popular discussion A finance. Th" British capitalist has bn Intensely selfish. It Is a British privilege fre quently used to growl; but the Briton should not complain at the ou'.c ;me of his own favor. FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED. While giving to th currency quest tion all the attention' which its great Importance demands, the people should ut the same time keep in mind the facts of the last three years. These present an unanswerable argument for a restoration of the conditions prevail ing before the advent of the Democrat- Is party to power and which is to be secured only through Republican sue cess. What was the situation four years ago? The country was having the highest measure of prosperity It bad ever known. In his last message to congress President Harrison said: "In submitting my annual message to con gress I have great satisfaction in being able to say that the general conditions affecting the commercial and industrial interests of the United States are In the highest degree favorable. A com parison of the existing conditions with those of the most varied periods in the Tilstory of the country will, I believe, show that so high a degree of pros perity and so general a diffusion of the comforts of life were never before en Joyed by our people." This was a very moderate statement of the situation. That year saw an unprecedented growth of Industries and of foreign and do mestic commerce. There was financial confidence and business enterprise There was work for all who wanted it and labor was never before so well rjald. The revenues of the government were ample and Its credit high. The success of the Democratic party in the election of 1892 suddenly wrought a change. It had won on a platform which denounced the policy of protect tlon and was pledged to overthrow that policy. The effect la familiar history. Before Mr. Cleveland was Inaugurated the alarmed Industries begun to pre pare for the attack that they were as sured would be made on them. They curtailed operations and In a few months hundreds of thousands of peo ple were thrown out of employment, while there was a general cutting down of wanes. Ruslnes depression ensued. Thus Ions before the threatened attack n protection took form In the Wilson bill, the country bad fallen from Its hiTt state of prosperity Into a condi tion of nearly cotitplete Industrial and business stagnation. Then came treas ury deficits, gold reserve depletions, and bond sales to Intensify distrust. There was a partial revival after the new tariff law -which proved to he not so bad s was apprehended -went into effect, but the evil that had been lone could not be removed under the lVniiH-ratlc policy and so the country is still suffering- from distrust and de pression, aggravated by the Agitation for free silver. The 'tne-ly for this state of affairs Is to lc ;o;:-d ':'. tN restoration of t.'.o Republican policy I in th;'.t ai tie The need ' to revive . ur Industries land there, y c:-:-:e a '..tvaud for labor.' 1 Ivbaslng t'ie curr. ncy by the fro coin Ag? ,.f stiver will net do this. On tin ""r cortrarv It would make a worn s.tua tion than we have. Judicious protec tion is what Is required and this we shall have If a Republican president and house of representatives are elect ed In November. That result would be followed at once by a great change for the better. Republican dtfeat. on the other hand, would be followed by panic and depression more severe than the country has ever known. The sick man knocking at the door of health gets In If he knocks the right way. and stays out If he doesn't. There are thousands of ways of get ting sick, but only one way to get well. Po whatever you will. If you do not put your digestion In good order, and make your blood rich and pure, you will not get well. Rich, pure blood is the only thing that can bring perfect health. Constipation is a disease of the blood. A large part of all diseases are traceable directly to impurities In the blood, and can be cured by elim inating them with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. The first thing It does is to put the w hole digestive sys tem into perfect order. It stimulates the appetite, excites a copious secretion of the digestive fluids and promotes as similation. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be. kills them and forces them out of the sys tem. "The Golden Medical Discover-" has been used with unvarying success for over 30 years. A woman must be admired In some way by some one If she Is to lead a contented life. The love of admiration has certainly its good as well as its bad side, and is seldom mere ordinary, vul gar vanity. If you have ever seen a little child In the agony of summer complaint, you can realize the danger of the trou ble and appreciate the value of Instan taneous relief always afforded by De WItt's Colic and Cholera Cure. For dysentery and diarrhoea It is a relia ble remedy. We could not afford to recommend this as a cure unless it were a cure. Chas. Rogers, Druggist To hear a child say. "Yes, ma'am." and "No, sir." grates on the cultivated ear. "Yes. if you please," or "No. father," Is ever so much more agree able. Don't trifle away time when you have cholera morbus or diarrhoea. Fight them in the beginning with De Witt's Colic and Cholera Cure. You don't have to wait for results. They are Instantaneous, and It leaves the bowels In healthy condition. Those who took their vacations in July now try not to look envious when they are met by friends just starting off for a two weeks' outing.

In the broa l effect of Its policy It has precipitated panic, blighted In dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enlerprls and crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market. Kvery consideration of public safety and Individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves Incapable of conducting It without disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall he re stored to the parly which for thirty years administered It with uue.jimlej success and prosperity A Protective Taritl. We renew and emphasis our allegi ance to the policy of protection a th bulwark of American Industrial Inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. Till true American policy taxe foreign pro ducts and encourages bom Industry; It put the burden of revenue on for eign goods. It secures th American market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wage for the American worklngman; It puta the factory by (he side of th farm, and make the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuse general thrift and found the strength of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It la Just, fair, and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and lomestlc monopoly, lo sectional dis crimination and Individual favoritism. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional, Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive (o business enterprise. We demand such ecjultsble tariff on foreign Imports which come Into competition with American pro duct as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expense of the government, but will protect Amer ican labor from degredatlon to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedule. The question of rates la a practical question, to be governed by the condi tions of the time and 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. Reciprocity Willi Oilier Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangement negotiated by the last Ki publican administration was u national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equnllze our trade with other nations, remove the restriction which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products In lh ports of other countries nnd secure the enlnrged mar kets of our farms, forests and factories. Protection and reciprocity nre twin measures of Republican policy, and gn haml In hnnd. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for tho necessaries of life which wo don't produce, reciprocal agreement of mu tual Interest which gain open mnrkets 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 tn outlet for our surplus. Protection to Suar Producers. We condemn tho present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favor 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 countrle more than 1100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, a well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, tho product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, a well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring the early Ameri OK TII1C REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for the up-bullilliic of our merchant marine and III iloclloii of our shipping In the foreign currying trade, so that American hlp-th product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yuida, Balling under tha Star and Snipe, and manned, olllcered and owned by Americans -may regain the carrying of our foreign commero. The Financial Issue Tha Republican party I unreserv fdly for ound money. It caused th enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payment In 11 litre then every dollar h been good as gold. We are unalterably op. posed to every measure calculated 10 d base our currency or Impair lite credit of our country. Wn are, therefore, op posed In the free coinage of silver, ox cept by International agreement with th loading coininerclul nations of the world, which wo plrdg ourselve to promote, and until such agreement ran be obtained wo belUve the existing gold standard must h preserved. All our silver and paper currency now In circulation must b maintained at a purity with gold, and we favor alt measure designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligation of tha I'nlted Stale, and all our money, whether Coin or paper, at tha present standard, tho standard of llm most enlightened na lions of the earth." Pensions fur Veterans. Th veteran of th I'nlon arinlr de serve and should receive fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference In the matter of employ rnetit, and they are entitled to tho n actment of aurh law a best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of th pledgee mad to them In the dark days of th country's peril. W denounce the practice ot th pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the prsswnl administration, of reducing pension and arbitrarily dropping name from the roll, a deaervlng th vareat condemnation of th American people. Foreign Kf la Hons. Our foreign policy should b at all Umo firm, vigorous and dignified, and all our Interests In the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Island should be con trolled by the I'nlted Htates and no for eign power should be pertnlteid to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be. built, ow ned and op erated by the I'nlted States, and by the purchase of the Danish Island we should secure a proper and much-needed naval station In the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres In Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and Just Indignation of the American people, and we believe that Die I'nlted Htates should exercise all the Influence It ran properly exert lo bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey. American resi dents have been exposed to th gravest dangers and American properly de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican clllxen ami American property must be absolutely protected at all hazard and at any cost. Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine In Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the I'nulted States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American stale for friendly Inter vention In ense of Kuropean encroach ment. Wo have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with tho existing possessions of any European power In this hemisphere, but those possession must not, on nny pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the Kuropenn powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of nil the English speaking part of tho continent by the free consent of Its Inhabitants. Independence of I'ulia. From the hour of achieving their own Independence the people of tho 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 hernia battle of the Cu ban patriot 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 lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect tho property or live of resi dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use Hi Influence and good office 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 the earth demand a naval power commen surate with Us position and responsi bility. We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and a i.f iiiiibor and sea- Iitunkrtilliiii Laws. Por tho protection of hw equality of our American citizenship and of the wage of nur worklngmen against the fatal eutiipetltlnu of low priced labor, we demand lhal Iho Immigration law be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed a lo exclude from entrance In the I'nlted Htates thus who can nelthr read nor writ. Civil Service. The Civil Hervlct) law wa placed on tho statute book by Iho Republican parly, which Im always ulaliiod It, and w renew our repeated declara tion that II shall bo thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable. Free Hallot. W demand that every citizen of th I'nlted State shall be allowed lo cast one fre and unrestricted ballot, and (lmt such ballot shall bo counted and returnod as cast. Inchlm: ('omlenined. W proclaim our unqualified condem nation of the unclvllU-d and barbarou practice, well known lynching or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crlm. without procsM of law. s National Arbitration. We favor the creation of a national board of arbitration lo settle and ad just differences which may arl be tween employer and employed engaged III Interstate commerce. Free Homesteads. W bellev In an Immediate return to th fre homestead policy of th Republican party and urge tho passage by congress of th satisfactory free homestead measure which ha already passed th house and Is now ponding In the senate Admission of Territories. W favor the admission of tho re maining territories at the earliest prac ticable dale, having duo regard to th Interest of tho people of tho territo ries and of tho I'nlted Htates. All th federal officers appointed for tho terri tories shall bo selicled from tuna fid resident thereof, and th right of (olf government shall be gcurdod as far a practicable. Alaska Ketresentaiion. We believe the citizens of Alaska should have representation In Iho Con gress of the I'nlted Htales.to tho end that needful legislation may be intelli gently enacted. Sumptuary Legislation. We sympathize with all wise and le gitimate effort to lessen and prevent Iho evil of Intemperance and promote morality. lights of Women. The Republican parly I mindful of the right and Interests of women. Pro tection of American Industries Include equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work and protection lo the home. We favor the admission of women lo wider spheres of usefulness, ami welcome Ihelr co-operation In rescuing th coun try from Democratic and 1'npullst mis management and misrule. Such are the principles and policies of the Kepuhll can parly. Ily these principle we will abide and these principles we. will put Into execution. Wo ask for them the considerate Judgment of the American people. Confident alike In the history of our great party and In tho Justice of our cause, we present our platform and our considerations. In tho full ussurance that tho election will bring victory to the Republican party nnd prosperity to tho people of the United Htates.
