A Itrpetitlon of thr Silver Asllsdos In lUOO Will llurl the Whole Country. The free and unlimited coinage of 46 cents' worth of silver into dollars and the free and unlimited coinage of lies designed to bring upon the military organization of the country the con tempt of Europe are the issues which the democratic leaders of Indiana are making most- prominent. The leaders differ as to which of these issues is the most potential, but many of them believe with Altgeld, Teller and Sen ator Allen, of Nebraska, that sixteen to one is the better hope of the part}*. There is no possible excuse in the situation to thrust the silver mine owners' job before the people after its repudiation in 1890, when that re pudiation was followed by a revival of confidence and a marked improve ment of industry anil business through out the country. In 1890 there might have been a possible excuse for an hon est man being deceived by the claims and predictions of the Bryans and the "Coin" Harveys. They asserted that labor would have less and less employ ment, and that the prices of farm products would decline to a lower fig ure than ever known if the gold stand ard should be continued. The gold standard has been continued; tens and tens of thousands of people have found employment w ho were idle when Mr. Bryan was haranguing the coun try in 1596, and millions of dollars more are paid as wages. For year* the farmers have not received so good prices for all their products as during the years 1897 and 1898. The Bryan orators told us that con tinuing the gold standard would nar row the volume of money, make it scarce and advance the rates of inter est. The volume of available money was never so large as it li«s been Mince 1890, and the rates of interest were never so low. During the last year western banks have been carrying larger deposits than ever before in their history. This Is particularly true of the banks in such states as Kansas. Banks in western citiesi have had s*> much money that some of them have been discounting eastern paper. This marked improvement in regard lo the volume and ease of the money market began with the defeat of the silver agitation in November, 18'.i0. The improvement of business began as soon as the free and unlimited coin age of silver was no longer a menacii. And yet. with the good results of the defeat of the free silver proposition in IS9O, reckless politicians who now dominate the democratic party in 111 is and other western states insist on making the free coinage of silver the paramount issue in the campaign. In the east every democratic convention in states which the democrats have carried whenever they have elected a president bus hadi the good sense to ignore the sixteen to one issue. There Is every reason to believe that demo crats in Indiana who are businessmen would have the silver question ignored, but such men have no influence in the party councils. Those who will take time to con sider the matter must see that a repe tition of the silver agitation of 1890 in 1900 will destroy confidence in busi ness circles and paralyze industry. If that agitation should be as. aggressive and as formidable as it was in 1890 business will be paralyzed as it was then, arid thousands of men now fully employed will be idle. Whether the country shall have a repetition of the Bryan campaign of 1890 depends large ly upon the results of the elections in the western states this fall. With sixteen to one ignored in the- east by the democrats of New York, Connecti cut. New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and the defeat of the silver democrats in Indiana and other western states, the silver question cannot be made a menace to the industry and business of the country during 1900 ns it was iu 1890. Such being the situation, why should not all those whose welfare depends upon business confidence act in regard to this matter as they do respecting ol her mat ters affecting their interest Men employed in factories insure themselves against loss by accident connected with their employments; those having employment look ahead to make sure of it in the future; that they may have a good wheat crop next season, farmers have already prepared their land and sowed the seed. In fact, the prudent man is al ways locking ahead to protect or fur ther his interests. Knowing, a a all men of fair intelligence who are can did with themselves must know, that the agitation of the heresy of sixteen to one is a menace to the general pros perity which extends over the country, liovv can they do themselves and the country a better service than by going lo the polls and voting the ticket which is pledged to continue the present "sound-money" policy which has brought confidence and prosperity to the nation? Do not look upon voting to sustain "sound moniey" and to pro tect the country against the paralyz ing influence of sixteen-to-one agita tion in 1900 as simply a favorfoa party organization, but regard it as a matter of personal interest the same as pro» tecting an employment or trying steps to insure a good crop or a good busi ness next season.—lndianapolis Jour nal.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1898. SENATOR HANNA'S OPINION. Importance of Controlling the Next IIoum« mid SußtfitnliiK I"re«l --deut Mc-Ktnlej. Senator Hanna, the chairman of the republican national committee, in con ference with the managers of the re publican congressional campaign, made some pointed and interesting comments on the political outlook. Among other things, he said: "One can appreciate the exact situa tion of the campaign when he recall# that in IS9G there were 60 congress districts in which members were elect ed by majorities of less than 1,000 votes. This was true of democrats as well as republicans. The majority of these districts were carried by less than 500 plurality, and you can see at once how important it is to arouse in terest and activity in these districts. The republicans must not let the dem ocrats get ahead of them in work. I have every expectation of a repub lican majority in the house, and it is to the interest not only of the repub licans but of the country at large that the next house should be ir. accord with the president, so as to carry out his policy and sustaiu him in great matters of state and government for the next two years. History shows that usually the congress elected in the middle of an administration has a majority adverse to the deminant party. There are many reasons for this, the chief among them being the apathy among the voters, the result of patronage. The offices have been dis tributer!, and the men who worked in the presidential campaign with the hope of reward afterward have either secured places or have been disap pointed, and they lose interest in the congress elections, or remain away from the polls because of their disap pointment. We do not want history repeated tlfc's year, and, as I have said, it is to the interest of the whole coun try to have the house of representa tives in accord with the president. "The republican party has carried out its pledges made at St. Louis so far as a senate opposed to us has enabled us to do so. The prediction that pros perity would follow the election of Mc- Kinley has been verified, and no one dares dispute it. The country is now prosperous because confidence has been restored, and tlie question at the polls this fall is: Shall we maintain that confidence and keep prosperity, (.r shall we unsettle conditions again? The war lias been successfully waged, and cur victories have been great and glorious. Ttere are tremendous ques tions y.'r to be solved, and the presi dent's policy in regard to these mat ters is to lie earrled out. Shall we have a congress willing to aid him in the wonderfully successful petfey he has already pursued, or will the people of the United States by their votes de clare our war a failure and refuse to sustain the president ? "There is another question also in the congress elections, and that is the financial one. By the republican vic tory in 1890 the country declared Sy President McKinley. Urn. Mllch and (>cu. Shatter. Chicago, fk-t. 20.—One brief gleam of sunshine has been thrown upon the ceremonies of the peace jubilee, it was a fleeting, short-lived burst of third-classsunshine, but it fell upon the president's reviewing stand just as the head of the great jubilee parade was approaching - , and the dense crowd which lined the streets accepted it as an augury of better things and cheer eel lustily, but before they were half through with their shouts the little shudder of light was gone and the cold, dark, dismal weather that from the first has dampened the jubilee fes tivities, was on again. Chicago has seen many parades greater than that of Wednesday, but she never lias seen one that pleased its people better, nor has there ever been a parade in this city which has been witnessed by so many people. There were more stands, anel larger stands erected for sight-seers than have ever been seen here before. All were filled to the utmost. Xotwithstanding the elaborate arrangements of the police department, the banishing of every street ear and vehicle of every descrip tion from the down town streets, in order that the crowd might have an unobstructed way, there were times when the crowd was 100 great for the police to handle anel at many places the crush at times was dangerous. The greetings extendeel to President MeKinicy were enthusiastic in the ex treme*. as were the plaudits showereel upon Gen. Miles anel Gen. Shaffer as they passed through the streets. The president in his carriage was sur rounded by members of the Chicago Hussars formed in square, and de tachments e>f the Grand Army and of Confederate Yeterans acted as an es cort. In the reviewing stand with the president were Gen. Miles, Gen. Shaf ter, both in full uniform; Gov. Tan ner, Mayor Harrison and Chairman Truax, of the jubilee committee. The advance <»f the parade after the presidential escorts had wheeled out of the line- of march was given to the veterans of the Grand Army, who were present in great numbers. He-hind the veterans came numerous civil societies, rank after rank until it seemed as though they would never end. Their gay uniforms anel their many banners of many hues, stripes and sizes made a brilliant and glowing pa nora ma. The First. Illinois, which gave more lives eluring the war than any Illinois body e>f enlisted men, set the people frantic. The Seventh infantry closed the parade. Directly the Seventh infantry had passed, the president left the review stand, going into the clubhouse. Three cheers were given him as he left. The crowd lingered in front of the clubhouse and called for the pres ident. lie was at luncheon, but the crowel woulel not be denied and the president stepped once more upon the reviewing stand and made a brief .peech. DIVERGENT VIEWS. A I>lffPerenee of Opinion is Kxpressed !>y Witnesses ISefore the tV»r t ommission in Kegard to the Conditions in Yttr on* Civnips. Jacksonville, Fin., Oct. 20.—The war investigating commission examined a large number of regimental and other officers yesterday. One of the most outspoken witnesses of the day was Dr. Frye, of the Third division hos pital. lie condemned some of the methods in vogue in the hospitals anel said that in many cases the contract physicians and members of the hos pital corps were incompetent. Dr. Frye expressed the opinion that in several instances convalescents had which he was connected before they were sufficiently aelvanceel to permit them togo in safety. lie thought these instances were due to insufficient su pervision, to ignorance of physicians and to a desire to clear the wards for new patients. He spoke in very un complimentary terms eif the men in the hospital corps, saying they had been picked up at random over the country and were "generally-a scabby looking lot." not fit to adorn any walk of life. He also spoke depreciatingly of the contract surgeons, saying he woulel not he willing to trust his fam ily or friends to 50 per cent, of them. Col. Dows, of the Forty-ninth lowa, followed Dr. Frye. and he was in turn followed by various members of his regiment. Col Dows said there hael been no deficiency in the commissary supplies. Speaking of the medical supplies. Col. Dows said a physician whom Gov. Shaw hael sent to the camp had spoken with surprise e>f the variety and quality of the medicine and medical appliances on hand. G.-n. K. D. Willision. in command of the First brigade of the Seventh corps, was questioned about various points, having been stationed at Camp Thomas. Montauk Point, Anniston anel other points before coming to Jack sonville. lfe said the principal objec tion he had to Camp Thomas, in Chick amauga park, was that it was impossi ble tn the schooner Marion from San Francisco, lie says her voyage north with f>7 men aboard was something terrible l .
