Insurgents lurking In tlio outskirts
of San Antonio do los Banos,provlnccs
of Havana, recently fired Into the
Spanish military hospital, occupied

In the town of Managua, the father

and while swinging In mld-alr,
they mutilated his body In a frightful
fashion with machetes. Ills wife, a

Saturday evening nt the armory
was held the 11 rat public meeting of
Bryan forces In Salem. Alderman W.
T. Rigdon spoke on request of somo
friends of silver In reply to T.T. Gccr.
Although but llttlo advertised, It wart
tho best attended political meeting
held In tho Capital City this campaign,
all classes being represented, ttor
tornoy John Bayno presided, and pre
sented the speaker, who needed no
Introduction to tho pcoplo of Salem or
Marlon county. With a view to
accuracy of statement Mr. Iligdon
read tho greater part of his speech
from manuscript, but withal proved a
pleasant speaker. Ho started out by
dissecting Mr. Geer's boasted pros
perity during tho Harrison adminis
tration. This, tho speaker said was
tho season of plenty brought on by
going In debt, and that us soon as pay
day camo the hard times came.
Ho showed that ever slnco silver
was demonetized the farmer's and
laborer's share of profits had been
growing smaller, whllo tho capitalists'
share grow larger, until at present the
farmers' and laborers of the land had
no profit left, and capital Is making
nil that Is mado. In other words
legislation had been In the Interest or
capital, trusts and combines, and
proportionately ugalnss tho plain
people. Legislation has In 23 years
enhanced tho valuo of gold until It
will buy twice as much as It would
boforo tho law mado It tho solo
standard of value
This gold monopoly can bo broken
In but ono way by peaceful methods
(and wo prefer peaceful methods) and
that way Is to bring It In competition
with some kind of money that can
swing upon I Is own hinges. Our friend
claims that this is an effort to bene
fit tho silver mlno owners and In
answer wo chargo that his efforts are
directly In tho Interest of tho bond
holder, for wo have Mr. McKlnley's
word for It that tho bondholder must
have his .money dollar for dollar In
gold coin; that Is ho Is Just as much
entitled to his gold as was tljo soldier
who fought tho battles for freedom.
I believe that wo should kcop fulth
with tho bondholder Just In propor
tion to the faith tho bondholder kept
with tho govcrcment, and tho with
ful pcrformunco of tho soldier
should bo rewarded accordingly. But
I see no Justice In paying tho soldier
with a dollar worth CO cents and pay
ing tho bondholder with a dollar
worth 200 cents. This great sollcltudo
for tho bondholder Is born of a spirit
that runs antagonistic to tho Interests
of tho pcoplo and It is this sollcltudo
shown by somo person on ovcry occa
sion that has caused hundreds of
thousands of our pcoplo to Investigate
tho motives which are prompting this
solicitude. If a man buys a hundred
thousand dollars of United States
bonds with a depreciated currency at
par that man deserves tho protection
of all tho special laws that can bo
placed upon tho statute books, but If
another man Invests a hundred thou
sand dollars in sllvor mines he Is to bo
looked upon with suspicion us ono
whose Interests are opposed to tho
people, and one who Is trying to flood
tho country with 50 cent dollars!
"Wo do not wish to mllllonarlzo the
silver mmo owners neither do wo wish
to multiply tho bondholders' profit.
Every dollar paid to tho foreign bond
holder saps so much of tho llfo-blood
of tho people. Every dollar dug out of
tho mines suppllcsaguln that circulat
ing fluid. If tho bondholder draws
more than tho miner can supply wo
suffer from exhaustion, but If the ex
ceis Is theother way wo enjoy prosper
ity. "Wo aro told that silver was demon
etized becauso tho two metals could
not bo kept at par. Silver had been
at a premium since 1853 and.thoreforo
It ought to bo demonetized; on tho
ame reasoning gold has been at a pre
mium over silver, except when sup
ported by gold, slnco 1873. Then on
tlio samo reasoning gold should bo de
monetized. We aro told that tho sil
ver dollar Is worth only 63 centy bc
(Contlnuedon second pugo.)
From tho speech of John II. Mitchell In tho United States senato Jiinu
nry 30, 1890:
Much is said theso later times nbout "sound money." Tho terms nro
Iterated and roltcrated In message, in documont, In newspaper, and In public
speech. And what does It mean?
If It means that tho gold dollar mid Its multiple can only bo rightfully
denominated sound monoy, then I most emphatically deny tho proposition.
If It means to Imply that cither a sllvor dollar or a legal-tender dollar, whoso
purchasing and debt-paying power Is equal to tho gold dollar, Is not sound
money, then 1 deny that. If It means, furthermore, that a gold dollar, which
has appreciated from 30 to GO per cent, and to that extent has reduced the
price of farm products and ovcry other commodity, Is a better dollar, a
sound dollar, or even as good a dollar or as sound n dollar ns Is tho nondo
predated sllvor dollar which passes at par In every part of tho Union, era
legal-tender dollar, which Iskoptatpar and redeemable on presentation In
coin, then I deny that.
If, moreover, by the term "sound money" Is only meant that kind of
money that passes In col nago form ns money In nil tho alnglo gold standard
countries of tho world, then 1 deny that tho terms aro properly applied, us I
bellevon groat nation llko ours, with a vast territory, Its 70,000,000 pcoplo,
Its Immcasurablo resources, Its internal commcrco, and Its almost unlimited
amount of business, Is not only capable of having, but In the Interest of all
concerned, In my Judgment, should havo a domestic monoy of Its own, kept
nt par nnd good os a home-purchasing and debt-paying medium In ovcry statn
and territory In tho Union, and upon every foot or American soil. With
such a domestic circulating medium, in sufllclont but not In redundant or In
flated quantity, coupled with a protcctlvo tariff, tho Industries of this
country would no longer languish, tho wheels of Its factories would bo put In
motion, labor would find protltablo employment, our homo market would bo
enlarged, nnd our farmors would rccelvoa fair prlco for their products, and
thus bo enabled to pay their taxes, something they aro unablo to do now.
If, furthermore, by tho terms "sound money" tho Impression is Intended
to bo convoyed that all values must bo measured by a single gold standard,
and only this Is sound monoy, nnd tlpit tho prlnclplo of bimetallism orjtha
double standard, as It Is sometimes erroneously, as I think, called Is wrong
nnd should bo repudiated ns unsound, thou 1 deny that, and I protest that
such a doctrlno was hover yet declared by any of tho great parties of this
country in any national platform during or slnco tho days of Washington,
and It Is, moreover, In flagrant conflict with tho policy enunciated In ovcry
national platform of ovcry party heretofore adopted In this
country, and particularly that of tlio Republican party, which Is pledged
unalterably to tho policy of bimetallism and against tho single gold standard
to tho policy or tho uso of both gold and sliver as standard monoy,
