SI.OO A YEAR. IN ADVANCE.
Fridays June 26, 1896.
The gold bug ticket as determined
last week by the St. Louis conven
tion is William McKinley of Ohio
for president and Garret Hobart for
vice-president.
Brother Condon of the Ilecord
has reached the conclusion that
silver isn’t dead or crazy but a
serious factor that must be faced,
and adds
“An honest man cannot afford to
hug fallacies. If a certain principle
or theory is right it should be his
desire to be convinced of that fact
rather than to endeavor to sustain
a mistaken position.”
Very good, brother Coudon, go
to work with all your might to help
your readers to understand the
question and they’ll generally vote
right.
The vote for candidates at the
St. Louis convention was very
significant, as showing the want of
cordiality in the party. After the
fact had been established beyond
the posibility of a doubt that Mc-
Kinley had almost three to one
over the combined vote of the
other candidates, it was reasonable
to look for them to withdraw grace
fully and accord him the nomination
by acclamation. But no, each can
didate insisted on recording a silent
but significent protest against the
successful candidate and the
methods used to bring about his
nomination. They had no idea of
allowing the false claim of the hirel
ing goldbug press to go unchallenged
and unrebulced, that McKinley’s
nomination was wholly the result
of a great popular demand. They
knew the object of this false claim
and were determined it should be
mailed by the convention as a lie.
After the new Iron Hill track,
which opens the 4th of July, is
closed, about the first of August, a
new track might be got in readiness.
An eligible site might be found in
this neighborhood along the rail
road which would destribute the
benefits, morally and materially,
somewhat more evenly over the
county, besides helping the magist
rates to some extent. The magist
rate business of Eikton has notice
ably improved since the racing in
dustry was firmly established.
The greatest oversight of the fore
handed, enterprising Elktonians
was in not getting an act through
the legislature chartering the Fair
grounds as a perpetual track. By
this time villas would have been
springing up all round Eikton.
The sporting gentry would have as
freely paid their money for a special
charter for the Fair grounds as for
pigeon holing the bill to prevent
pool selling.
To Encourage the Farmers.
The Pennsylvania railroad offers
a prize of an annual pass to the
farmer along each of its divisions
whose farm presents the best ap
pearance.
The company knows the advant
age to a railroad running through a
highly cultivated country. The
price of property is increased,
business of the “railroad is aug
mented both passenger and freight,
wealthy people of the cities are
tempted out to purchase and build
summer residences. These and
other collateral advantages are in
cident to a well cultivated country.
The enterprising l’ennsy Company
might offer passes to two, three or
more farmers who had the best
cultivated and artistically improved
farms in each county on the lines.
Trumpet Calls.
The speech of Senator Teller de
livered before the republican conven
tion and the protest read by Senator
Cauuon of Utah, and published in
last Friday morning’s papers are
trumpet calls to the American
people to awake and defend their
threatened liberties. The speech
of Senator Teller is calm, solemn,
earnest, uniinpashioued, patriotic,
rising in its grand subliue warning
ing to the people, above all party
appeals. It awed for the time lie
to silence, a reckless, mercenary
convention which had met to do
the bidding of a foreign master.
Its deep and awful warning will not
fail to stir the patriotic spirit of
the nation to its very depths. _ No
such grand defiant protest has been
heard in an American convention
since the patriots of the revolution
threw down the guge of battle and
raised their voices in solemn pro
test against the usurpation and
tyranny of King George.
The protest which followed and
was read by Cannon has the sharp
ring of the trumpet call to battle.
Its telling words of truth drew
hisses and stormy denunciation
from the galled servants of the gold
trust. The saliant points of the
protest will be found on our fourth
page. We would like to publish
Teller’s speech but want of space
forbids.
The Principles at Issue.
The republican convention has (lone
more to clear the political atmosphere
than anytliiug that has transpired within
the last two years. The politicians hoped
that some kind of straddle might be
effected, and McKinley, through Mark
Hanna, went as far as it was safe to ven
ture in the direction of a straddle on the
money plank. The money trust had evi
dently weighed the chances carefully,
and concluded the time had arrived when
it was safer to risk a pitched battle than
to longer depend on the strategy of decep
tion. The firm stand and determined
movement taken by the silver element in
the republican party, although expected
to a certain extent, struck the party with
a thud.
The goldring had spared neither strat
egy nor money to make the convention
solid for gold, but the blow the silver holt
struck was a stunning one. If conven
tions were held to again nominate dele
gates, since the developments of the past
few weeks, there is little doubt that half
the delegates chosen would pronounce in
favor of free coinage. The free coinage
sentiment has made itself felt within the
last thirty days in every quarter of the
country with cyclonic force. The cool,
determined, manhood spirit and patriot
ism shown by the republican seceders at
St. Louis has acted as an awakening force
to the spirit of resistance that is every
where seen, to the domineering money
oligarchy which has stealthily stolen upon
the people and seized the government
through the republican party.
The United States government has be
come as completely English as though
Queen Victoria had stretched her royal
scepter over it. The men we have unfor
tunately placed in control of national
affairs, cringe like spaniels and ask the
consent of the British nation to shape
our affairs like hers. We must not coiu
our own silver without her royal consent,
lest her plutocracy denounce us as dis
honest. We have a government ruled by
banks, monopolies, trusts, combines and
special privilege classes like the English
government.
The price of our silver, our stocks, our
wheat, our cotton, our wool, in short of
every staple product of this country, is
cabled from London every morning.
English syndicates levy a tribute of four
to five hundred millions annually on the
people of the United States, and command
us to maintain the gold standard in order
that the price of everything we produce
shall be forced down to the lowest notch.
The gold plutocracy of Great Britain,
through our national" banks, intimidates
every business firm in this country. No
firm, mercantile or manufacturing, dares
to say an independent word which may
offend the banks lest the vengeance of the
money lenders be visited upon them. All
the business, outside of the smallest retail
trade, is run on bank credit, which at any
minute can be withdrawn and the rebel
lious firm wiped out. The business of the
country cowed, robbed and intimidated
by these jackals of the English money
trust is steadily dying by inches.
The republican party is entirely in the
power of this English gold trust. Since
the St. Louis convention every one with
eyes can see this. The democratic party
has been destroyed by it and Cleveland
was selected to give it the finishing blow.
The Chicago convention that is to be held
in a few days will be but a hollow mock
ery, and a worse split, ten times over,
than befell the republican party at St.
Louis awaits it.
The lines are drawn broad and strong
with the republican party as the cham
pion and exponent of the English finan
cial and corporation system of govern
ment on one side, and on the other the
free American people are rallying and
coming into line as the antagonist of this
un-American and unpatriotic, disgraceful
policy.
The political battle about to be joined
is not a contest of silver against gold.
Let no one be deceived by- such a false
idea. Both silver and gold money is the
constitutional money of the United States.
The battle is between the British single
gold standard, which is enslaving the
Christian world, and independent Amer
ican system of government, free from all
alliances, monetary, corporate, monopo
listic or any other foreign, aristocratic,
plutocratic or monarchical system.
These are the real Jjattle lines and not
merely a contest between silver and gold.
It is the awakened spirit of Americanism
and liberty against a foreign enslaving
policy now being championed by the
republican party.
Gold Standard and Harder Times.
The following passage is from
Senator Teller’s speech to the St.
. Louis convention:
I have formed my conclusions to
. such an extent that it has become
binding on my conscience. I be
. lieve that the adoption of the gold
standard will produce hardships;
it will increase the distress, and
that no legislation touchiug the
• tariff can remove the difficulties
that now all admit prevails in this
laud. I believe that the whole
welfare of my race is dependent
, upon a rightful solution of this
question; that the morality, the
civilization, nay the very religion
• of my country, is at stake in this
contest.
If it required an annual outlay of jftioo
to insure a family against any serious
consequencas from an attack of bowel
I complaint during the year there are many
who would feel it their duty to pay it;
I that they could not afford to risk their
lives, and those of their family for such
> an amount. Any one can get this insur
. anee for 25 cents, that being the price of
, a bottle oi Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Dirrhoea Remedy In almost every I
neighborhood some one has died from au I
■ attack of bowel complaint before medicine
3 could be procured or a physician sum-!
j moiled. One or two doses of this remedy
will cure an ordinary case. It never fails. ■
Can you afford to take the risk for so
B small au amount? For sale by E. T.!

Remonetization of Silver vs. Wage
Slavery.
On the subject of the United States re
monetizing silver the London Financial
News, a paper that stands high in English
financial circles, said, on April 30, 1894:
“There can be no doubt about it that if
the United States were to adopt a silver
basis to-morrow British trade would be
ruined before thetyear was out. Every
American industry would be protected,
not only at home but in every other mar
ket. Of course the States would suffer to
a certain extent through having to pay
their obligations abroad in gold, but the
loss on exchange under this head would
be a mere drop in the bucket compared
to the profits to be reaped from the mar
kets of South America and Asia, to say
nothing of Europe. The marvel is that
the United States has not long ago seized
the opportunity, and but for the belief
that the way of England is necessarily the
way to commercial success and prosperity
undoubtedly it would have been done long
ago.”
This is the view a distinguished English
financial paper takes of our position, seen
from a clear point of view, unbiased by
false and sophistic reasoning. The Eng
lish writer wonders we have not seen this
great advantage and attributes the failure
of the American people to see it to the fact
that they think they must follow the
British financial plan to reach commercial
success. This, however, is not the reason.
The men who have had political control
in the United States for thirty years have
beeii more British than Americau, and .
have succeeded in keeping the present
deplorable state of affairs as they are by
bribery and the use of money. The dis
tress this country has been kept in by
copying the British system has been to
the advantage of the few who hold obliga
tions against the people of the United
States, because it serves to lower the
price of all property, thereby requiring
about twice the amount of property to
pay the interest on those obligations as
long as they can succeed in keeping the
United States on the British gold standard.
This financial system was commenced
as soon as the rebellion was ended and
after the murder of Lincoln, by Secretary
of the Treasury Hugh McCullough con
tracting the currency, that is calling in
twelve hundred millions of the currency
which the people transacted tlicir business
with, and issuing bouds drawing six per
cent interest in place of the money he
destroyed. This system has been con
tinued steadily and the next great blow to
prosperity of the producing class of this
country was clandestinely effected by
John Sherman, who, every criminating
circumstance confirms, was bribed by the
Rothschild Jew gang of England to
secure the demonetization of silver in 1873.
With the destruction of the people's
money and the creation of a great nation
al debt began the fall in prices, and in
crease of failures in business. Every year
showed au increase over the last in the
number of bankrupts recorded by the
commercial papers, a sure barometer of
increasing hard times, the stealing of
wealth from the possession of the many
to the hands of the few.
After 1873 when the crime of John
Sherman, the Judas who betrayed the
American people to the house of Roths
childs, was perpetrated, hard times and
falling prices with their pestilential fol
lowers, crime, pauperism, insanity, sui
cide, idleness and tramps rapidly increas
ed, till the present day presents such an
appalling sight as the Western continent
never before experienced. The cry of
pinching want comes up from every part
of the laud. The increase in population
and the natural increase in the volume of
business, which is cramped and stunted
by the decreasing quantity of money re
quired to transact the business which
starts into life only to languish and die.
The two old parties have followed the
dictation of the English banking, gold
monopolists for thirty years and they de
clare their purpose to continue it, if the
people have so far lost their manhood as
to keep them in power and trust the gov
ernment in their hands. They are brought
face to face with the question, Has thirty
years of a financial policy which has
bankrupted hundreds of thousands of the
best people in the country, so enslaved
them that they have not manhood left to
throw it off? It requires no knowlege of
the “money question” to satisfy every'
reasoning person that a gold, English
system which is grinding the life out of
the masses should not be continued. It
has heaped debts upon the country, pri
vate and public, which are estimaed at
thirty to forty billion dollars, the interest
on which is absorbing the earnings of the
people and running them more and more
in debt. The gold standard has driven
the price of everything labor creates down
so low that all is required to pay this
steadily increasing interest. Farms are
now not worth half the price they sold
for twenty years ago, and they must soon
pass out of the hands of present owners if
present conditions are continued, and
there is no remedy in sight which prom
ises to check the onward march of the
appalling distress but the remonetization
of silver. It is that or wage slavery for
the masses.
A Book for tlie Times—“ The Danger
Line Reached.”
This book, by O. A. Hadley, ex-gover
nor of Arkansas, which has just been re
ceived from the publishers, we have not
had time to examine, and copy from the
Bimetallist of Chicago the following
notice of the work, which will receive a
more extended notice in future:
This is a book of 200 pages treating
upon the present conditions The money
question is ably discussed in all its rela
tions to the business interests of the peo
ple. As the author says, “It is a plain
statement of facts,” which can be readily
understood. The silver question is thor
oughly examined, and all the general
objections are met and fairly explained,
so that the reader may readily understand
the situation. Few writers have so clearly
defined the many vexed points in contro
| versy as has this author. It is entirely
j non-partisan and free from aggravating
1 terms. It appeals to the intelligence and .
j reason of the reader, rather than to their I
prejudices. It is written in a calm, pliil
\ osophical vein, and is well worthy the
attention of the business mau, and should
!be in the library of every citizen. For ,

Address to the Silver Men.
When the delegates from the silver
States of the West walked out of tlie con
vention at St. Louis headed by Senator
Teller, they published a ringing address
to the American people giving their rea
sons for their action. The following ex
tract contains the pith of the Address :
THE SILVER SCHISM.
We do not arrogate to ourselves one iota more
of intelligence, patriotism or courage than is
possessed by any oi our fellow-citizens, ltut we
feel that the time has come for the performance
Ofia duty to the country, and for our part, though
we stand alone, we will make an endeavor in the
direction of that duty. Parties may outlive their
usefulness; the truth never becomes obsolete.
Every general convention of freemen has the
right to aflirm the truths of past knowledge and
present acquirement; and if the enforcement of
these truths shall make neceseary a departure
from party organization, the people have this
right and will exercise it until old parties shall
return to the truth or new parties shall be created
to effect it into law.
II the voices which have sounded to us from
every State in this Union are an indication ot the
real feeling, this year is the appointed time for
the people to assert themselves, through such
mediums as may give best promise oi the achieve*
ment of justice. But whether we are mistaken or
uot concerning the general sentiment in the
United States, we have not mistaken our own duty
in withdrawing from the Republican convention,
feeling that it is better to be right and with the
minority in apparent defeat than to bo wrong
with the majority—the majority in apparent
triumph.
We hold that in the great work of social evolu
tion in this country, monetary reform stands as
the first requisite. No policy, however promising
of good results, can take its place. Continuation
during the next four years upon the present
financial system will bring down on the American
people that cloud of impending evil, to avert
which should be the first thought of statesmen,
and the first prayer of patriots.
Our very institutions are at stake. To-day, with
the rapidly increasing population, with widely
swelling demands, the basis of our money Is rela
tively contracting, and the people are passing into
a servitude all the more dangerous because it is
not physically apparent. The nation itself, ns to
other nations, is losing the sturdy courage which
could make It defiant in the face of injustice and
international wrong. From the farmer and the
tradesman to the Government there Is apparent
the same shrinking from giving offense, lest the
vengeance of some offended financial ppwer shall
descend. The business man submits some portion
ot bis international rights lest some mighty for
eign creditor shall make destructive demands.
Where will all this end if the older parties, in
their determination to maintain themselves in
power for power's sake alone, shall refuse to rec
ognize the right and the hope of humanity.
SILVER OFFERS A PANACEA.
The only remedy is to stop falling prices, the
deadliest eiirse ot national life. Prices never will
cease falling under the singlegold standard. Ihe
restoration of bimetallism by this country w ill
double tlie basis of our money system. In time It
will double the stock of primary money ot the
world will stop tailing prices and steadily elevate
them until they will regain their normal relation
to the volume of debts and credits m the world.
Bimetallism will help to bring about the great
hope of everv social reform, every believer in the
advancement of the race who realizes that the
instability of prices has been the deadly foe ot our
toilers aiid the servant of the foreign mterest
gaisl not ttiis purpose worth the attention of the
icile us intlivUlwuls aul worth tlie attention ot
: people as individuals and worth the attention of
political conventions yet to be held in this year,
1896? Is not this so great an end that all who
believe in the possibility of attaining it by the
means proposed can yield something ot their
partnership, botii in conventions and at the po II?
It is in the hope that the masses and the remain
ing conventions will have the courage and tlie
generosity to unite for this purpose that we have
dared to offer our views to the people ot the
United States, and because in tlie last there lias
lacked a rallying point for the masses who hold,
as we do, to this belief, we venture an act, trust
ing it will tie received in the same spirit of con
ciliation, concession and hope with which we put
We have endeavored, in plain way, to set the
1 matter before the eyes of our fellow-citizens, u e
invoke the union of all men and all parties who
believe that the time lias come tor the triumph of
justice. It is au hour when the people may speak
for themselves as individuals, ami through coit
i ventluns yet to be held. It is tlie right ot every
| citizen to"indicate his preference.

Spectacle* just to make a sale, but it you simply need glasses to correct some
refractive error of the eye, I will tell you so, and nrovide the pro|>er lenses and
guarantee perfect satisfaction—at prices much below the average.
Never buy Spectacles without lirst having YOUK eyes tested, as the two
eyes rmv not be alike and may need a different focus glass for each eye. If
your glasses are enniked or pinch, call at my store and have them set right
no charge for that.
Watch, Clock and Jewelry Repairing is 1113; principal business. It’s clock clean
ing time now and I’m ready to put your clock in order, at very little cost.
