For President— WILLIAM J. BRYAN. For Vice President— ARTHUR SEWALL. For. Representative in Congress for the Sixth District— CHARLES A. TOWNE, of Duluth. You shall not press down on the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.’—William J. Bryan. Tue next Democratic state conven- tion will be controled by the free silver people, and one of its imperative duties will be to denounce, by resolu- tion, the St. Paul Globe. Tue Milwaukee News says: “W. J. Bryan is objected to only on ac- count of his youth, He is 36 years of age. Alexander the Great, Napol- eon, Lord Byron and Robert Burns, who each conquered the world in his own way, had died before they were older. Tue legislative committee for the 53rd district have called their conven- tion to meet at Carlton, Sept. 15. The Brainerd Dispatch says: ‘There seems to be no doubt of the nomina- tion at that time of Hon. Geo. A. Whitney, of Wadena, for the senate, and the renomination of Hon. D. M. Gunn for the house.” Ir’s really too bad and most a pity that our friend McCarthy has been unable to impress upon the people the logic of his argument concerning Mr. ‘Towne’s political addresses of two years ago. Mac put in a great deal of time in the preparation of his vicious attack on Towne and now the people won't listen to it. ONE method of campaigning now being adopted by the gold-bugs is that of sending out fake reports through the press to the effect that great deposits of silver have recently been discovered, The idea is that people will become alarmed lest the country should produce silver in quantities equal to coal or iron. But} it won’t work. Dan Law er cried like a bear with a sore paw because he was unable to control the Minnesota delegation at the Chicago convention, and now he proposes to organize a little party of his own. He seems to think that a self-made party will be easily handled. It was a proud day forthe Democracy of this country when the Lawlers, Wilsons, Hills et. al. went into the Republican cart, where they ever should have been. ConGRESSMAN Towne has challeng- ed Page Morris to a jomt debate on the money question, and_ the latter says he will accommodate Mr. Towne after September ist. But he'll do nothing of the kind. Page Morris wouldn’t even come out second best in a controversy with our eloquent and logical congressman and no one knows it better than he. The hope 1s that events will furnish another ex- cuse for refusal ta debate after the first of September and thus the Judge be allowed to escape utter annihilation. “T see in the near future a crisis ap- proaching that unnerves nie and caus- es me to tremble for the safety of my country. Asa result of the war, cor- porations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices understand that the leading issue at this time is the money question, prim- arily the struggle for the restoration of silver to the place it held for 80 years under our constitution. The common people have become educated during the past four years upon this question, and the money power realizes that if the coming election is decided squar- ly upon that issue, its power to grind the sweat and bones of the country’s producers into riches for the benefit of the few will be broken, perhaps forever. Ir was Hanna’s intention to open the St. Louis convention with prayer by an eminent Catholic divine, but just before the convention met he got orders from Rothschild, Heidelbach and Ickelheimer to have a Jewish Rabbi to perform that function. They wired him in substance: ‘The convention is ours. The time for tearing the mask from the Republi- can party has come. We order you to have a Rabbi make the first prayer. This is to be followed with a single gold standard plank in the platform. Fail to do this at your peril.” And it was so. How do you hke it, Mr, Republican. Att men who have held high places as financiers do not agree with the arrogant money changers of to- day who demand the perpetuation of the single gold standard. W. H. Greenfell, chairman of the Bimetallic league of Great Britain and formerly governor ofthe Bank of England, recently replied to inquiries made by the New York World, at some length, and expressed the opinion that inter- national bimetallism could only be brought about by the United States taking the first step in that direction. He also stated that England, as well as all other European nations, would follow the initiative of this country and gold and silver would become the recognized money of redemption throughout the civilized world. Tue Duluth Evening Herald calls attention to the following frigid facts: “ That the gold standard policy is de- structive to the productive industry is evidenced «by the scores of factories that have shut down or reduced the working hours. Let it not be said in reply that this is due to tariff changes. Itis not true. In 18g2, according to Bradstreet’s, the business failures amounted to $114,000,000. The Mc- Kinley tariff law was in full operation during the whole of that year. Yet it was a year of business failures—a year filled with strikes and lockouts, not forgetting the great Homestead strike, where laborers were mercilessly murdered by the Pinkerton gang, hired by the Carnegie Steel company, which manufactures steel ralls and which claimed that the decline in the selling price of iron and steel neces- sitated a ‘reduction in the wages of the men employed at Homestead.” Iris hardly worthy of mention, but yet will serve as an illustration of many similar instances, We refer to the recent flop of the Magnet on the money question. When Congress- man Towne spoke in Grand Rapids last fall on the subjéct of bimetallism the editor of the Magnet was present and stated to an audience of about four hundred people that Mr. Towne had not changed his views—that it was the Republican party leaders who were trying to change and repudiate the traditions and declarations of that honorable organization. In proof of the fact that the congressman was en- tirely consistant Mr. Bernard produced from his inside pocket the original manuscript of the platform adopted by the Republican congressional con- vention held at Brainerd two years ago and written by Mr. Towne. Mr. Bernard stated that it afforded him great pleasure to present Mr. Towne with the valuable document, because it furnished a complete refutation of the charge then being made that Charles A. Towne had deserted the the tenets of his party. Mr. Towne accepted the manuscript and there- from, during the course of his address, he ead the financial plank of the of the$people, until all wealth is ag-|Platform. Our friend of the Magnet gregated in a few hands and the re- also stated at the same meeting that public will be destroyed. God grant|h¢ was chairman of the committee on that my suspicions may prove ground- platform of that convention and that Jess.—Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Towne had stated to him person- ally atthe time of the convention Tue issues of the pending campaign | that he could not consent to become are those which, if correctly under-|the party’s candidate unless a free stood, array the people upon one side | silver plank was put in the platform. and the plutocracy upon the other.|At the conclusion of Mr. Towne’s No informed man fails to thoroughly | address Mr, Bernard was one of the first to step up and sign his name to the roll of membership which was there and then organized as the Gold and Silver club of Itasca county. He believes in silver today, but there is some gold in sight, perhaps, from the Republican managers and for a small amount he would barter the keys of heaven, much less the interests of his fellowmen.
