J W Park, whe has claimed to be a prohitionist for nany years, it is said will vote for Bryan, as he wants free silver. There are about four Pops in the township that will not vote for Bryan or any body else. The old pop farmer that endorsed DeArmond through the ‘TrMks some time ago, and had to go to Ark for opinion’s sake, returned home Saturday night with a large number of Bryan pops and DeArmond soldiers, so that he can live in quiet at his home again. His loving wife met him at the door with outstretched arms and words of welcome and the children were glad to seehim. They were happy now and they that sought his life were dead now to killing any one who | would vote for Bryan and DeArmond. 'The family will now live happy and soon have free silver.

It is surprising to see the num- ber of voters who have always voted the republican ticket declaring for Bryan and free silver. In this coun- ty (Green) which has been a strong- hold for years, the democrats are confident of winning a big victory this fall. The republican politicians have been telling the farmers that free silver meant cheap money, and that they would have to pay two dollars for what they could buy now for one. ed that if this was true, and they believed it was, it would give them a dollar a bushel for wheat instead pell meil into the free silver camp.

A reader who is earnestly in search of light, which he failed to find in| |the partisan press, writes us: “Tsee it stated in some papers that if the United States opens its mints to the unlimited coinage of both gold silver, at the ratio of 16 to 1, that laboring men will have to accept pay in dollars only worth 50 cents, and that the people’e money now deposited in savings banks will be returned to them in the same kind of ‘cheap’ dollars. Other pa- pere say such would not be the case. I confess I can't see any sense in such talk. We look tothe Journal of Agriculture and other indepen- dent and non-partisan papers for the | unvarnished facts in these matters. Please give us some light” In general terms, it may be said, any dollar that will pay debts, and make all necessary exchanges, is worth 100 cents. This is also trae of the so calied cheap silver dollars jas “cheap,” it wil be noticed, never refuse to accept them in business at {100 cents every chance they get, and also pay them out for 100 cents. | Those who claim silver dollars are} only worth fifty cents, perpetrate what they believe to be fraud every time they pass one for 100 cente. | It may be said that the silver dol-} \lar now, though the bullion in it is | j Worth only 50 cents, passes for 100) e the country i a ou hi baste, but that miiuts | ' should be opened to the unlimited | coinage of silver, and silver made to | stand on it own merits, the country | would be flooded with cheap money, | and working men, and others, would | ibe paid in 50 cent dollars But suck ;would not, and could not, be the; ‘case, for if the silver dollar were not ja legal tender, working men could |refuse to accept it, and demand that itheir employers pay theni in legal; | tender mon and those who now} jhave money in the savings bank} /could demand that bankers return | | their deposits in legal tender money, | and the law of the country would! /compel them to do so. | On the other hand, if the silver) would | |pay debts and make all exchanges | same as gold or any other kind of! money, and would, therefore, be just | as good and honest as a gold dollar.
