A writer in the Chicago Record, ad
vocating the gold standard, produces
an appalling array of statistics, and
concludes with the assertion that
"while in the year 1700 there was thir
ty six times as much silver as gold in
the world, in 1895 there was only nine
teen times as much." Well, what of
it? What does all that prove? If it
demonstrates anything, it is that 16 to
1 is now about the proper ratio.
THE YELLOW CANDIDATE.
We give space this week to the full
text of the platform adopted by the
late Republican Territorial convention.
A perusal of the document will show
that the Republican party of Arizona
has switched from the position taken
last spring, and is now a straight gold
bug ora ization. The same conven
tion nominated A. J. Doran, of Pinal
county, as candidste for delegate to
congress. At this distance from the
place, of holding the convention, we are
rather puzzled at this action. We are
somewhat surprised at any territorial
political organization adopting a series
of resolutions of such a pronounced
yellow tinge, and can only be accounted
for by the hope of rewards in the shape
i of liberal slices of pie to be distributed
from the McKinlev counter. The con
vention then placed on this platform
candidate who has heretofore sustained
a territorial reputation as a free-silver
advocate. All this would seem to show
that the Republicans of Arizona have
gotten themselves into a very anamo
ious condition, and hardly "know
where they are at." It looks like the
convention delegates and candidates,
one and all, were suffering from a very
severe attack of yellow jaundice.

SUES THE SUPERVISORS.
Emery Kays Brings Action to
Recover $900.
f Gazette.
On Tuesday morning Emery Kays
a taxpayer and president of the citi
zens league, entered suit in the district
court for the recovery of $900 alleged to
have been illegally drawn by J. T;
Priest, W. L. George and E, B. Kirk
land as members of the board of super
visors of Maricopa County, for labor
performed by said defendants.
The following are the items stipulat
ed In the complaint :
That on June 3, 1895, W. L George,
member of the board of supervisors,
presented a claim against the county
for $100 for services superintending re
pairs on the county courthouse and re
ceived the money.
April 1, 1895, J. T. Priest, a member
of the board of supervisors, presented
a claim against the county for $185 for
superintending the building the con
construction of a road between Phoenix
and Tempe, and receiving the amount.
June 3, 1895, J. T. Priest, presented a
claim for 215 for superintending the
building of a road from Pbcenix to
Tempe, and that amount was paid him.
January 14, 1895, E. B. Kirkiand filed
a claim and collected from the county
$150 for superintending the construc
tion of a new county jail.
March 9, 1895, E. B. Kirkiand present
ed a claim and collected from the coun
ty $250 for expertmg the books of the
county treasurer, such work having
been performed while he was a member
of the board of supervisors.
The complaint further sets forth that
no part of these several amounts have
been returned to the county of Mari
copa, and prays that a judgment for the
several amounts be given, together
with 40 per cent attorney's fees.
No More Party Servitude.
TSalt Lake Herald
The manner in which Mr. Bryan is
being greeted in his tour through the
states shows that something more than
idle curiosity impels the people to turn
out by the tens of thousands to hear
him. It is indisputable evidence that
the people are doing a good deal of
thinking, are searching for information
with the ultimate object of voting to
subserve their best interests. Flagi
tious robbery and capitalistic aggres
sion have combined to awaken popular
intelligence, and the result of this will
be that the masses ol the people will
go to the polls thoroughly fortified
against party prejudice, and prepared
to a man to vote an intelligent ballot.
Much of the evil of which the people
complain is the logical result of party
servitude. Party lines have so domi
nated public sentiment in the past that
people have incontinently submitted to
the most grievous wrongs rather than
dissolve the bonds of affinity between
themselves and their party. No one
has benefitted more by this than the
capitalistic element, Capitalists, real
izing the strength and adhesiye prop
ties of party prejudice, have, while the
people were clinging to imaginary prin
ciples, beat the tomtoms with one hand
and gone through the people's pocket
with the other. The result of this
(and it is evitable) is that while this
farce comedy was being rendered the
few were rapidly acquiring vast wealth
and the many were being slowly, yet
surely, reduced to poverty. But the
end of party slavery is at hand. It has
had a long reign, but it is over. The
multitudes that are giving audience to
Mr. Bryan bear testimony to a well de
fined revolution in public sentiment.
Rising from the horizon is a storm
which will burst forth in November and
sweep away every symbol of monopo
listic sovereignty. The American peo
ple are patient and tolerant, but when
a public wrong becomes impeditive, be
comes cumbersome and menacing, they
rise with unanimity and dispassion
ately, but effectively, stamp it out for
ever. Statehood stands with Arizona next
to the cause of silver. Both may be se
cured with the election of Bryan and a
democratic delegate to congress. Mark
Smith spoke for the free coinage of sil
ver in the halls of congress eight years
ago. He has also on all occasions ad
vocated statehood with all the vigor
possible. The election of a republican
or populist for delegate would probably j
defer admission indefinitely. This is !
not apolitical contest, but one of meas
ures and common sense finesse. The
friends of silver and statehood should J
stand togother Gazette-
OLD FRIENDS.
David Banks Sickles.J
There are no fiiends Hfce old friends.
And none so good" and tme,:
We greet them when-we meet "them,
As roses greet the dew ;
No other friends are dearer
Though horn of kindred mold ;
And while tve prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friends,
Where'er we dwell or roam,
In lauds beyond the ocean.
Or near the bounds of home ;
And when they smile to gladden,
Or sometimeR frown to guide,
We fondly wish thone old friends
Were always at our side.
There are no friends like old friends,
To help us with the load
That nil mu3t bear who journey
O'er life's uneven road ;
And when unconquered sorrows
The weary hours invest,
The kindly words of old friends
Are always found the best.
There are no friend like old friends,
To calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Tbrough life's declining years ;
And when our faltering footsteps
Approach the Great Divide,
We'll long to meet the old friends
Who wait the other side.
FARMERS OE OHIO.
Realkc that the Tariff floes not Raise
the Price of Wool.
Columbus, O., Sept. 28. Major Mc
Kinley's pet theme, the tariff, received
a black eye from an unexpected source
yesterday, At the thirty-third annual
meeting of the Ohio Wool Growers'
Association, held on the state fair
ground, Hon. J. C. Stevens of Kenton
advocated the principle of free silver
and spoke favorably to free trade in a
masterly address, which was loudly
cheered.
Mr. Stevens is a farmer and an ex
banker. For eleven years he was na
tional president of the Wool Growers'
Association of the United States. Be
sides this, he is an ex-member of the
State Board of Agriculture, and is prob
ably the best posted man in the state
on questions of interest to the wool
grower and agriculturist.
He said among other things, that all
his life he had been an advocate of a
high protective tariff on wool. He had
advocated this, not because he thought
the principle was fundamentally right
but because the wool grower was enti
tled to as much consideration as the
manufacturer. But he had been forced
to the conclusion that the wool grow
ers of the country had been the victims
of a great iraud in the shape of protec
tive legislation. They had been led to
believe that they were to receive equal
protection with the manufacturer, but
the latter always got tho best of it.
How was it forty years ago, when there
was little or no pretense of protecting
the wool grower, and, in fact, a high
tariff such as is now advocated in cer
tain quarters was not dreamed of?
The speaker always received from 40 to
50 cents a pound for his wool in those
"free trade" times. But how had it
been under protection during the peri
od between 1873 and 1894, when the
wool tariff had been the highest on
record ?
There had been a gradual decrease in
the price of wool until the climax was
reached under the McKinley law, when
wool dropped to its present price.
There is an object lesson in this. It
must mean that the tariff had but lit
tle, if anything, to do with governing
the price of wool. The cause of the
decline and the means of restoring
prosperity to the wool grower must be
looked for elsewhere.
There was another great issue, the
only one now before the American peo
ple which promised the farmer relief.
That issue was the restoration of silver
to the position it occupied when the
farmer and everybody else in this coun
try enjoyed prosperity.
There was some applause at "this
juncture, and the republican politi
cians, including ex-congressman Taylor
of Guernsey, and Senator Hogg, looked
scared.
" How are you going to vote free sil
ver without voting for free wool ? one
of them asked.
" How are yougoipg- to vote for a tar
iff without voting for the gold stand
ard? was the answer. He said that
when even John Sherman admits that
the price of farm products will go up
under the free and uuhmited coinage of
silver and gold it is about time the far
mers were getting their eyes open.
Mr. Stevens spoke a few minutes
longer on the money question, espous
ing the cause of free silver, and con
cluding by recommending that other
questions than that of the tariff be dis
cussed by the members of the Associa
tion. The President adroitly headed off
this suggestion by saying be favored it,
but not at this session. Albuquerque
Democrat.
Keep it In Mind.
The following paragraph from an ar
ticle which appeared in the London
Times and Echo of July 19, 1896, Bets
forth a startling fact which ought to be
called to mind by every voter in the
United States when he goes to the polls
next November:
" If the single gold standard can b
forced in South America and Asia as it
has been since 1873 forced on North
America and Europe, gold must inevit
bly appreciate to at lea3t four times its
present absurd value; or to put it oth
erwise, commodities must decline to
one-fourth of the present prtce and la
bor, all over the world, be crucified as
J it was never crucified before in the days
vi 1 lucuiicvui am mum ui eveu uuatici
slavery. Such is the contest. If the
money lords can force eold mouometal-
ism upon the whole world they will
succeed in establishing the most gigan
tic moneyed aristocracy among the
rich, and the worst system of peonage
serfdom among tne 'masses' that has
ever cursed the helpless sons of men."
HIS ANNOUNCEMENT.
How a Candidate Made
His
Proposal.
An enamored young man addressed a
marriage proposal to his lady love, says
an exchange, as follows:
" My Dear Miss : I hereby announce
myself as a candidate for your hand
and shall use all fair and honorable
means to secure the nomination. I
know that there are many candidates
in the field, and I hesitated long before
entering the race, but now I am in to
stay.
My views on love and matrimony
have been often expressed in your
hearing and I need not express them
here. You know that I favor free coin
age of love a 16 to 1 love and a main
tenance, of free silver after marriage.
If you decide to confer upon me the
honor I seek, please fix the date for a
caucus with your mother. I have no
objection to her acting as temporary
chairman, provided that it is clearly
understood that I am to be chairman
of the permanent organization,
Shonid the result of the caucus prove
satisfactory we can soon hold the pri
mary and select the date of the con
vention. I have neyer believed in long
campaigns, so if you decide to honor
me I will ask you to make convention
date as early as possible.
Devotedly yonrs,
He received the following brief reply:
"Caucus unnecessary. Report on
permanent organization satisfactory ;
nomination unanimous ; come at once
and fix date of ratification.
Yours, on the 16 to 1 basis,
Tribune.
Will tne East Secede ?
The views of the eastern gold men
are well illustrated in an article con
tributed to the Nineteenth Century by
W, L. Alden, which contains the fol
lowing remarkable language:
The average western American is a
man of unbounded energy, unbounded
self conceit and unbounded ignorance.
It is to the ignoraut west that the
United States owe the greenback folly,
the protectionist delusion and the sil
ver craze.
The possibilities are at present in fa
vor of the election of McKinley. But
a defeat of the silveiites this year sim
ply postpones their victory for four
brief years.
That the free and unlimited coinage
of silver means the utter ruin of the
east, goes without saying. When the
silverites gain possession of the federal
government, the east must sbmit, with
what grace it can master, to complete
and hopeless bankruptcy, or it must
withdraw from the Union and endeavor
to maintain its independence by arms.

Wrong" Side Before.
That was rather a good story told
last evening by Mark Smith about his
opponent, Jim Doran, who for twenty
years has preached silver, but who is
now the republican candidate on the
gold standard ticket for delegate. He
likened Jim unto the man who was
sleeping in a hotel when the fire alarm
was sounded. The man jumped out of
bed and in his haste got his trowsers
on wrong side before. Presently the
proprietor rushed at him and asked
"are you hurt? " The fellow took a
look at himself and said "I do not feel
any pain, but look how I am twisted."
This brought down the crowd, as the
candidate has certainly warped his
former self out of shape to get on a
gold platform. Gazette.
Wheat Goes Up.
The highest price of the season was
reached in New York on the 23d inst.
The wheat market wound up its sess
ion on the 24th inst. with a straight
advance of 2c a bushel. The rise was
attended by intense excitement. Near
ly all the crowd had sold wheat early
in the day on the idea that the bull
movement was over and prices had
dropped about $c. Under the pressure
some of the local crowd stood losses of
1 to 2c a bushel in getting the wheat
back. Of the total future transactions
of 5,380,000 bushels, the bulk was made
in the last hour. Prices closed with
the highest price of the present cam
paign. Ex.
Will Support Fergnsson. j
A dispatch from Las Vegas, N. M.,
dated September 30, says:
The Optic appeared this evening
without McKinley's picture atits mast
head, but instead the name of H B. j
Fergnsson for delegate. In a long ed
itorial it says the time has arrived
when it must sunder, for tne time being,
its ties to the republican partly of New
Mexico and its candidate for delegate
and closes by saying its vote and sup
port shall be given Fergnsson.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THEIR PIiATFORM.
The Republican Principles
as
Enunciated at Phenix.
The following is the full text of the
platform of principles adopted by the
late Republican Territorial convention
held at Phenix :
Itesolved, That the unrestricted control of the
government by the Democratic party has been
a record of unparalleled incapacity and disas
ter. They have ruthlessly sacrificed indispen
sable revenue, entailed an unnecessary deficit,
and borrowed money for ordinary expenses,
piling up the public debt in times of peace.
They have forced an adverse baiance of trade
and reversed all the measures and results of
successful Republican rule.
Resolved, That every consideration of public
safely demands that the government shall be
rescued from the hands of those who have
shown themselves incapable to,conduct it, and
shall be restored to the party which for thirty
years administered it with unequalod success.
Resolved, That we believe the first and most
important question before the people is the
tariff. We believe that the policy of protecting
American idustiits is the foundation and bul
wark of American development and prosperity.
We demand such an equitable tariff upon for
eign imports which come into competition with
American products as will not only furnish ad
equate revenue for the necessary expenses of
the government but will protect American la
bor and products. We favor the restoration of
a tariff on wool equal to that existing under the
McKinley bill,
Resolved, That Protection and Reciprocity
are twin measures of Republican policy. Dem
ocratic rule has struck down both, and both
must be restored . Protection for what we pro
duceFree admission for necessaries of life
which we do not produce ! Recipiocity agree
ments of mutual Interests which gain open mar
kets for us in return for opeu markets to others.
Protection builds up domestic industries and
trade and secures our own markets for our
selves. Reciprocity builds up our trade with
foreign nations and finds an outlet for our sur
plus. esolved, That we endorse the jNational Re
publican platform, as enunciated at St Leuis,
without any reservation whatsoever. While we
are believers in bimetallism, we believe that
the Republican party is the only true friend of
silver, and will legislate in such a manner as
will be favorable to the coinage of silver with
out disturbing the bnsiness interests of the
country. We regard the silver plank in the Na
tional Democratic platform as simply a subter
fuge invented to confuse the people and divert
their attention from the true issue before them
in this campaign, which is legislation upon the
tariff question .
Resolved, That wo endorse the course of our
Delegate to Congress, Hon N. 0. Slurphv, and
we believe that the people of Arizona have been
well and ably represented by him. His labors
have always been in tho interest of his constit
uents.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Conven
tion that Arizona ought to be admitted to state,
hood' as we believe It would bo of great benefit
to our commonwealtn, and we demand our ad
mission to the sisterhood of states in this Union
without further equivocation or delay.

The Columbus Record says : Hun
dreds of republicans who are also for
silver are coming over to Bryan in this
city and county. According to ex-republicans
themselves there are not less
than 1,500 in this county alono. In
many cases the converts are not allow
ed to come out openly, but they are for
Bryan just the same.
The Columbus Call of the 17th says:
Hon. Henry C. Taylor has retired as
chairman of the republican county ex
ecutive committee. He knows a polit
ical cyclone when he sees it coming.
There are more members of the Bry
an club in Painesville than there were
ever democratic votes cast in Lake
couuty. There are a dozen other clubs
besides
A conservative estimate puts Bryan's
gam in the western reserve over the
vote last year, at 20,000 and it is more
likely to be 25,000. The silver wave is
sweeping eve'thing before it up there.
The democratic state committee is
sending out over 10,000 documents each
day, but the demand is more than
twice as great as tho supply. More
than 1,000 Bryan clubs are organized in
the state and each is calling for silver
literature.
The giant cactus of the Arizona des
erts is a very valuable plant for the Indi
ans. From it the aborigines make a fer
mented drink. Its fruit furnishes food.
The food cannot be eaten fresh is dried
and used at leisure. Tho tough dried
ribs of this big plant serve some of the
Indians for a framework on which to
construct the mud roofs of their hous
es, as well as for material for household
furniture, traps and coops. Indian
graves are also covered with parts of
this cactus. Where it is impossible to
obtain water antelope and rabbits of
the desert eat certain kinds of cactus
fruit and leaves. Even the coyote, sup
posed'to be a carniverous animal, will
eat cactus fruit, and is a despoilerof a
watermelon patch, the coyote is much
dreaded by the Arizona ranchers L. A.

I enter when topical songs are given
all references to Bryan are applauded
vociferously by the class I have describ

but faint applause and in most cases a
good deal of hissing. In New York

almost exclusively by wealthy and
well-dressed people, I noted the only
exception. It was at Hammerstein's

Arthur Ij. White of Phenix Fa
tally Injured,
The following account of the fatal
accident to Arthur L. White, of Phce.
nix, weather observer, is from the Phoe
nix Republican :
Mrs. Arthur White returned yesterr
day morning from Prescott with the re
mains of her husband, who was killed
Sunday in the Congress mine.
The funeral was held yesterday at 3
o'clock from the undertaking parlors of
Randal & Davis. Rev. Cal Ogburn con
ducted the services, both at the under-"
taking establishment and at the grave
The pall-bearers were Sumner Hackett,
Ira P. Smith, Bruce Perley, Thomas
Gorman, Walter Holbrook and George
Scott. Several friends of tho deceased
attended the funeral.
The exact particulars of the death of
Mr. White are as follows : Mr. White
and wife and another gentleman were
visiting the mine under ground. They
were on their way to the surface in an
empty car when a runaway car was
heard rapidly descending the incline
upon them. The gentleman who was
with Mr. White caught Mrs. White in
his arms and jumped from the car to
the side of tho track. Both escaped
unhurt. Mi. White remained in the
car and a few seconds after the runa
way car collided with the car in which
Mr. White was ridinir, He was caught
between the cars and both his sides
crushed. Death must have been in
stantaneous. The cause of the accident is hard to
properly place. Some-miners were load
ing a couple of cars on the 400-foot level
of the incline. It is thought that the
wheel blocks must have slipped and
the cars started downward on the run
of destruction.
Business Situation.
Bradstreet's of the 25tb inst. says :
"In eastern jobbing circles the feel
ing is one of increasing confidence.
There is more doing in some staple
lines : noticeably at the east and at
southern cities. In most other instan
ces purchases continue for immediate
wants only. There is little expectation
of a general revival of business prior
to the election.
The total number of business fail
ures throughout the United States is
321 this week, compared with 315 last
week, 198 in 1895, 204 in 1894 and 282 in
1893.
The Raleigh News says that Thomas
E. Watson, the Populist candidate for
Vice President, is worth $50,000, and is
in receipt of a good income from his
paper, his farm and his law practice.
