waa bidden away and Its labor dtalnaa

prove the ruinous conditions whioh they
had thuiuatjWes produced thau to Coin

Fro.i.rlt) Hrouskl By MesiablleaM.
The Repiiblicai party denouncing
this plan a sure to produce condition
even worse thai, those from which ra-
liof was sought, promised to restore
proiKrity by mean of two legislative
measures a protective tariff and a law
making jrold tha atandard of value.
The people by great majorities issued to
the Republican party a commission to
enact these law. This commission ha
been executed and the Republican
promlae I redeemed. Prosperity mora
gcueral and inure abundant than w
have ever known has followed these
enactments. There is no longer any
controversy as to tha value of any gov
erumeut ob igatious. Every American
dollar is a gold dollar or it assured
equivalent, and American credit stand
higher than that of any other nation.
Capital is fully employed and every,
where labor is profitably occupied.
No single fact can more strikingly
tell the story of what Republican govern
nient means to the oountry than tbis
that while during the whole period from
1801 to 1897 there was an excess of ex
ports over imports of only $888,034,497,
there ha been in the short three year of
the present Republican administration an
exoess of export over import in the
enormous sum of $1,483,788,094, and
while (he American people, sustained
by this Republican legislation, have
been achieving these splendid triumph
In tlielr bnafueas and commerce, they
have conducted and in victory conclud
ed a war for liberty and human right.

fleets were cleared for action. It arm
ies were in the field, and the quick and
signal triumph of its forces on land and
ea bore equal tribute to the skill and
foresight of Kepublican statesmanship.
To 10,000,000 of the human raoe there
waa given "a new birth of freedom,"
and to the American people a new and
noble responsibility,

We indorse the administration of
William McKinley. Its act have been
established in wisdom and in patriot

ing untried paths aud facing unforeseen
responsibilities. President McKinley has
been iu every situation the true Ameri

In vision, strong in Judgment, firm is
action, always inspiring and deserving
the confidence of hi country men.
In asking the American people to In
dorse this Republican record aud to re
new their commission to tha Republi
can party, we remind them of the fact
that the menace to their prosperity ha
always resided In Democratic principles
and no less in the general incapacity of
the "Democratic party to conduct publio
affairs. The prime essential of busi

In the further Interests of American
workmen, we favor a more effective re

of opportunities of education for work

Liberal Penalon laal Farnml.
The nation owes a debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who
have fought its bnttles, and it is the gov
ernment's duty to provide for the sur
vivors aud for the widows aud orphans
of those who have fnlleu in the coun
try's wars. The pension laws founded
in this just seutimeut should be lieral
and should be liberally administered,
and preference should be given, wher
ever practicable, with respect to em
ployment In the publio service, to sol
dier aud sailors aud to their widows
and ophans.
Bseabllsaes aad thsClrll Berries,
We commend the policy of the Re.
publican party in maintaining the effici
ency of the civil service. The adminis
tration has acted wisely in its effort to
secure for publio service in Cuba, Porto
Bioo, Hawaii and the Philippines only
those whose fitness has been determin
ed by training and experience. We be
lieve that employment iu the publio
servioe in these territories should be
eon fined, aa far as practicable, to their
inhabitants.
It was the plain purpose of the Fif
teenth amendment to the constitution
to prevent discrimination on account of
raoe or color in regulating the elective
franchise. Devices of states govern
ments, whether by statutory or consti
tutional enactment, to avoid the pur
nose of this amaudmeut are revolution
ary and should be condemned.
Publio movements looking to a per
niaueut improvement of the roads and
highways of the oountry meet with our
eurdial. approval, aud we recommend
this subject to the earnest consideration
of the people aud of the legislatures of
the several states.
. We favor the extension of tha rural
free delivery servisce wherever it ex
tension may be justified.

In the further pursuance of the con
stant policy of the Republican party to
provide free homes on the publio do

legislation to reclaim the arid land of
th United State, reserving control of
th distribution of water for irrigation
to the respeotive states and territories,

BRYAN AMU IOWA DEMOCRATIC
iOSXEVC
But there is strong reason for be
llev.ng thai Bryan's worshippers do
not me in what they say. In the
first place Bryan was regularly nom
inated by the avowed populists, and
by silence if not by writ en or
spoken word, he accepted that nomi
nation. This makes him first of all
a populist in the full meaning of th-tt
word, pledged to do the bidding of
populists. This Is rank infidelity to
all democrats principles. In the
second place Bryan was nominated
by the silver democrats. Almost
half that convention, hundred t of Its
members, were conservative demo
crats and yet they were not allowed
recognition. This adds another ob
ligation lo Bryan 1 1 proceed with the
demoralixtiion of business. And in
the third place Bryan is the nominee
of the professtd silver republicans.
He must do their bidding.
In three other respects Bryan has
made cheap money and repudiation
both the "burning" and the "para
mount" lue. First he is the per
sonation of financial dishonesty. His
nomination without even a re-affirm
ation of the Chicago platform would
have been enou ,h t satisfy the most
ardent silverin. Secondly, be insist
ed upon having that platform reiter
ated. But his own nomination and
the incendiary pli tform were not
enough, and so h insisted upon an
express repetition of I6 to-l,of free
and unlimited coinage at that ratio.
He made it trebly sure that be will
continue to work for the d'-structlon
of the solid and safe uionett-ry sys
tem which the country now enjoys.
