The trroverent - Robert on the monetary question | has proved himself such ia lightning change artist that it is not iunvensonable to expect his convm-siou‘ on the moral Issue. - He is rabidly de-l nouncing Bryin and his free coinage, policy to the farmers of Illinois, Not: so many months ago the impious Inger- sot made a lecturing tour, taking agri- culture for his topic. - He them delivered Itlingself | of the following, which was published in the Hiinois State Register: i \Wor my part, I do not isk apy in-} terference on the part of the Govern-} ment to undo the wroug it has done. I do not ask that money be made out of nothing. I do not ask for the prosperity } born of paper. But I do ask for the: vemonetlzation of silver. Silver was demonetized by friud. -It was an impo-, sition upon every solvent man, a fraud j upon every lonest debtor in the United Stites. It assassinated labor. It was done in the Interest of avarice and greed, and should be undone by honest ' men. The farmers should vote ouly for ; men as fe able and willing to guard . and adyance the interests of labor.\ 'The Rome Sentinel and Utica Obser- vor we two former Democratic papers who liave turned down the Democratic tleket iind ure fighting for gold and cor- porations. But Judging from results their Influence doesn't amount to a } grent deal among Oneida County Demo- crats, for their former constituents have declured strongly for bimetallism und the Chicago candidates, while the Sentinel and the Observer are left to go {t nlone with their Republican allies. \This seems to be a year when the people have decided to run things regardless of former leaders,and if the bolting Demo- cratic press does no better work throughout the State than in Oneida County, it might be fairly claimed thats New York be taken from the doubtful colmun and given to Bryan. 'That the will of the Boltocratie press is all strong enough no one doubts, but their power doesn't correspond. W.E. Graham, Democratic. nominee for scltool commissioner in the first dis- trict, Is admittedly well qualified for the important position in every respect. He lns a competent education and is well acquainted with the needs of his district and has always been interested in the cause of education. Mr. Gra- him's Democracy has never been ques- tioned. He is popular deservedly. His home town of Royalton will roll up for him a vory large majority which will be Inerensed by the other towns of the dis- trict.

'This is the sentiment of Bourke Cochran's plea for McKinley, and it was endorsed at Buffalo by Tom Reed, Tuesday night,. Addressing him- self to wage earners he said: \L am very much concerned about you; and I am concerned because I think that your wages and those that are with you, and my salary and those that are with me, constitute the great purchasing power of this country. Now , I do not want that purchasing power , diminished.\ At no point in his speech which was applauded to the echo, did 'Tom Reed ' evinee any interest whatever in the fate of the American farmer. It wa | apparently nothing to him that a | farmer must give a bushel of apples for a postage stamp, and that the prices of nearly all other products of the farm are so low as to hardly pay the cost of growing, the purchasing power of the ' dollar must still be kept up for the benefit of those who like himself live upon a fixed salary. It is no wonder that the rallying of the farmers to the support of Bryan and free coinage is a regular landslide from the Repuhliean party. In the presidential campaign of four yeurs ago, Democrats were urged to |vote the Republican ticket on the | ground that England demanded free trade, and as whatever benefited Eng- land injured America, we should in the , interests of patriotism vote for the Re- publican ticket and Protection. This , year we are asked to vote the Republi- can ticket on the ground that England demands it, and we must favor England even though our toiling masses starve in the act. And yet the same condi- tions confront us now as thelf, accord- ing to our Republican friends, and if we should vote for England in 1892 we see no reason why we should in 1896. is a jewel, never more evident than in political argu- ment. + Chairman Jones has given to , the United Associated Presses his estimate , as to the distribution of the Electoral College. He concedes to McKinley 81 votes places 87 in the doubtful 9 sure for Bryan 'The McKinley votes are made up of the : New England states, PenusylIvania. In New Jersey, the doubtful list are: New York, Delaware, Iowa, Ohio and Wisconsin. 'The others are safe for Bryan and Sewall. Chairman Jones is informed by prominent Demo- crats in Connecticut and New Jersey that those states will certainly cast their votes for Mr. Bryan also, while the Democrats of Iowa look upon that state as safe for the Democratic nomi- nee. 'The bands may as well prepare to play the White House March for ; Bryan and Sewall now. Charles N. trict last time, but was juggled out of his office after having served the people for five months with compensation. The voters of the district are prepared to vindicate Mr. Hoffman and rebuke the methods employed in ousting him. He will receive a majority which will put a contest out of the question. He is well liked in the district and is a scholarly, yet practical man. Under his super- vision the school interests of the second district are sure to flourish. Another evidence of the desperate everywhere are driven came to light in Chicago yesterday. - County Clerk Phillip Knopf, Republican, was arrest- ed on a charge of malfeasance in office. It is alleged that he signed naturaliza- tion certificates without authority of the court. It is cluimed that on Oct. Sth the Republican county clerk signed some 2,000 minors' final certificates of naturalization without the court cer- tificates having been approved. 'Ten times 2,000 votes would not save Tllin- ois to the Republicans, but 'just the same such wholesale att‘empted frauds should be severely punished. Vote for Arch C.

Justice Clement of the Supreme Court in Brooklyn rendered a righteous judg- ment in deciding that the gold bug Democratic allies of McKinley in this state could not use the words \National Democratic Party,\ on official ballots, Justice Clement says: \Although the party known as the Democratic Party | Reform Organization has the legal right to adopt a new designation, it is prohibited by section 5G from taking the name of the older organization, Demo- cratic party, or a name substantially. the same.\ , 'This result is especially gratifying to loyal Democrats in view of the fact that it is now openly confessed that the third party movement | instituted by Democratic deserters had no other pur- pose than to make McKinley's election sure. Chairman Bynum of the would-be Democratic fraud, now says MeKin- ley's election is assured. 'This is the way he puts it \Illinois Iowa and Wisconsin are undoubtedly safe for McKinley. I consider Kansas and Ne- braska still doubtful, but the indica- tions point to a victory in both for Mc- Kinley.

The Palmer and Buckner ticket will poll its largest vote in Kentucky.\ Note the pleasure he exhibits in stat- ing that McKinley is sure of certain states supposed to be doubtful, and then says: \We are fighting just as hard,\ etc. 'Ehis sort of conjunction is a fatal admission that the sole purpose is to elect McKinley. But candidate Griffin of New York is more explicit. In a speech at Albany, Tuesday night, Griffin said: \Here in New York there is no chance | to defeat McKinley, so vote for Palmer and Buckner. But in the middle west, where the contest is closer, the choice should be McKinley.\ Now, as it is confessed that the third party movement is meant to help Mc- ] why not on the official ballot .

Poe It is very amusing to see the original free trade Democratic journals swal- lowing McKinley, the apostle of pro- tection, bedause, forsooth, the protec- tion is seasoned with golden salt. That consistent and uneasy sheet, Harper's Weekly, for instance, champions Mc- Kinley with all the energy it can com- mand, and in an adjoining column praysfervently tohimand hismanagers to keep protection in the background under penalty of losing Democratic vot- ers who find it had enough the best to reconcile themselves to the protection champion. Jordan is a hard road to travel .and the Assistant Demooarats are stumbling over some pretty big bould- ers in the path they are traversing. lge The campaign roorback . machine is now in full blast, but if the campaign lie, have no better foundation than the one recently attempted by our highly esteemed contmporary, the Lockport Journal, they will die a borning. A lie to be successful must at least have a soupcon of truth, and so far the ones manufactured are so palpably destitute of that quality they are hardly worth the space of a denial. o e__ We would advise the voting public not to give too much credence to the daily report so industriously promul- gated by the opposition press to the effect that the Democratic managers have given up this that or the other ac- cording to the imagination of the scribe. The real truth of the case is that the Democratic managers have not in the whole campaign felt as assured of success as now. ga Thomas B. Reed said at Utica last nightnight: \We talk in the abstract about the liberty of the American citi- zen and prate loudly of his freedom.\ In other words the Republican spell- binders are compelled to roar and paw dirt as their only defense of the coer- cion and intimidation tactics used by Republican corporations in relation to their employees. rte -} We have not seen it yet, but we have no doubt that before the campaign is ended our Republican friends will give us the valuable information that Mr. Bryan committed all the crimes. for which the late lamented Holmes paid the penalty. And we are not sure that he was not responsible for the tempta- tion in the garden of Eden. 'The old saying that \n renegade Christian makes the best (Turk,\ was never better exemplified thas in the fight made by the Boltocratic press these autumnal days. The fight they are waging rivals in fierceness that of their now allies and old-time foes, the Republicans. Truly politics makes strange bed fellows. It is legal to shoot squirrels to-mor- row.

This is absolutely essential to a proper cooking of the delicious rodent mam- mal. § > THE MONEY QUESTION, NO. 9 THE SHARE OF OVER PRODUC- TION IN CAUSING LOW PRICES FOR FARM PRODUCTS The advocates of the gold standard point with an affectation of | supreme confidence to overproduction as the ex- : planation of the great reduction in the i values of farm products since the de- monetization | of silver. This was the argument of the brilliant Cochran when a ne thrilled the hearts of the Wall Street sharks, the speculators in gov- ernment gold bomds, and the represen- tatives of the trusts and syndicates who clustered around - him at, Madison: Square Garden, as he plead not only for the maintainance of the present purchasing power of the goid dollar, but actually insisted upon the increase 'of that power as our best line of finan- cial policy. Doubtless in his estimation we should reach the millenium financi- ally if gold should acquire such a pur- chasing power that the tillers of the soil would practically be compelled to supply all other classes of people with provisions free. Carl Shurz, who bas a well. established reputation for being very patriotic during presidential cam- paigns for $100 a night, echoes Coch- ran's argument, and all the lesser lights of the platform and luminaries of the gold press reflect the rays shed by the high priests who conduct the service of worshipping the golden calf. 1 Now what are the facts of the situa- tion regarding this alleged great over- production that has reduced the price of wheat from $1.32 per bushel in 1871 to 58 cents in '05 ? It is to be conceded j that we have left behind the per cent of increase in population in the United States in the increase of agricultural A REPUBLICAN ANARCHIST. With all the wild talk of Anarchy and Revolution of which Mr. Bryan and his supporters have been accused, it has remained for a Republican orator to boldly counsel armed resistance and re- bellion in the case of the election of Mr. Bryan. In a speech before the ReQub- lican club of New York last Saturday evening, - Mr. Edward Lauterbach, chaiman of the Republican County Committee; declared that in the event of Mr. Bryan's election “We will not abide by that demsmn * In othel words in case that the majority of the voters of this country decide that their inter- ess are safer 'in the hands of M1 Bryan than Mr. McKinley, Mr. Lauterbach and his political confreres will fy fo arms and the scenes of 1860 will be re- enacted, with our Republican friends, the party of law and order, who shud- der at the thought of anarchy and re- volution, doing the initiatory act. The prospect which Mr. Lauterbach opens, before us is not the most enticing in the world, and while there is no doubt that he voices the private sentiments of a large number of his party associ- iteb, it is not surprising that the more pludcnt‘amonb them are hastening to sag him, and prevent further unwise words. Never since the alliterative Burchard paid his respects to the Democratic party in the famous trip- letic adjective sentence of \Rum Romanism and Rebellion,\ las there been so bad a political break, and that the Republican leaders are frantic over the truth spoken at so untimely a mo- ment is not to be wondered at. AChicago special to Buffalo Express says: \Republicans and gold Democrats are | products, but it is the moduct of the entire world that makes prices and ' must be considered in any attempt to ' solve the problem of the serious reduc- tion in values, Thus, while our own working in thonouvh accord in Illinois. [It was (leaded at a conference Wed- { nesday that either the Republican or the gold Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor shall speak at every town visited by Gov. Altgeld between now and elec- tion day.\ production of wheat has risen from 857,112,000 bushels in 1885 to 460,267,- world which prices increased from 2,098,859,443 bushels in the first year cited to 2,590,- $121,000 in (94, These figures taken from department of agriculture reports show that in the last 10 years the pro- duction of wheat increased about 23 I pel cent, while an examination of prices for the same period shows & reduction of over 33 and 1-3 per cent. without tak- : ing into the account at all the necessary increased consumption that would at- tend the increase of population. 'Of the increase of population in countries re- I quiring the largest supply of bread- stuffs, the N. Y. World recently said: Taking the United States, Great Brit- ain, France, Germany, Austria-Hun- gary, Italy, Belgium, Russia and Hol- i land in a single group, they show an in- crease in populatlon between 1860 and 11890 of over 180,000,000 of which 32,000,000 belong to the United States. This represents for us almost exactly 100 per cent. of growth. The percentage increase for the entire group is 5244 for population in the last four decades. . roo This great increase in population of the wheat consuming countries of the world has been sufficient to so nearly demand the entire wheat product of the world, as to annihilate the pretense that the great falling off in prices is to be charged to overproduction. In this connectiontit is interesting to note that our own greatest crop of wheat was grown in 1891 when our har- vest was a total of 611,718.000 bushels. Phat was the year of famine in Russia on account of the wheat crop being des- troyed by a pestilence of some sort and our surplus brought so good a {mice that President Harrison in a speech at Al- bany remarked that we had just cause 'to be grateful to Divine Providence for such a bountiful crop and so good a market for it. I remember feeling sorry for him at the time that so worthy a gentleman as the President of the United States was unable to distinguish God from a pestxlence in giving us a market. But the great mass of wor. shippers at the shrine of gold is appar- ently moreor less affected by alikemen- tal defect shown by mistaking over pro- duction as the cause of a loss of values, instead of the contraction of the cur- rency of trade, silver and paper, by the adoption of the gold standard. But suppose to please the gold bugs we for the moment concede all they claim for overproduction, how will this account for wiping out 50 per cent of values of real estate in farms and city and village homes since 1873 ? Has God as Creator been at work during this period in surreptitiously doubling the land surface of the earth, and turning it into productive farms and beautiful village and city homes, without any- body in America haying found it out ? With this question IL- must dismiss overproduction as the cause of our financial depression. It is utterly un- worthy of serious attention, and serves no purpose except the simulation of argument in a case in which no defense is possible. 3. WY.
