Another great quadrennial political conflict is upon us and we should cheerfully and quietly investigate the claims, weigh the facts and decide cr ourselves what- is right. Narrow and bigoted xaen, whose patriotism is measured by their prospects for political place and power, may fume and fret and denounce and misjudge, but the average American, with a level head and warm heart, will not mistake this for argument.

He will quietly go about his work and as quietly and effectually cast his ballot for what he believes to be the best interests the country. The schoolteacher has been abroad in the land for some time and there is yet a great deal of the Franklinian salt and sobriety. While there are partisans, most men realize that no party contains all the truth and that the broadest platforms are narrow when compared with the teachings of nature and the greatest teachers. There is always one thing that transcends every platform and every party, and that is manhood lightness. This is not saying that platforms have no real issues, for they serve as educators and popular protests against wrong.

Our greatesr mistake is that we are mislocating our trouble. We look only to material difficulties and these are always superficial and transient. The vast amount of injustice in financial affairs is bad enough and it is not a cause but a result of soul injustice. Men are unjust because they are ignorant, and the cure for all injustice is humanitarian education. Let us clamor less for mere dollars and cents and make our claim for justice in the form of opportunity for pur children, for their mental and moral growth.

No man can resist that appeal. Shall we biTTTT A "OiTl VV 'NJk. Grain, Coal, Farm Implements EESEEVE, ZKI.AaTS-S. a. Mclaughlin, office: OBEGON STREET, NORTH OF COURT HOUSE.

OFFICIAL CITY PAPER, PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. STEWART FLAYS NEWMAN. Nevada Senator's Caustic Letter to the Philadelphia Bishop. The following caustic letter has been addressed by Senator Stewart of Nevada to Bishop Newman, who recently gave vent to a savage attack on Mr. and hi3 platform Washington, Aug.

6, 1S96. Bishop John P. Newman, Methodist Episcopal Church, Philadelphia: Dear Sir I am pained to see in the public press a statement to the effect that you have joined the enemies of your country to oppress and rob the great mass of your fellow citizens. If the published quotations from your epeech are correct, you have indorsed the legislation of 1873, whereby one half of the metallic money of the world was destroyed and the value of the other half doubled. You have also indorsed the schemes of the money powers of London and New York to control the gold of the world, advance its purchasing power, reduce the value of property and services, and thereby build up a money oligarchy on the ruins of the republic.

There is no excuse for a man of your intelligence to advocate the gold stand ard. You know that the purchasing power of gold has been advanced by fraudulent legislation and wicked ma nipulation fully 100 per cent; that the rich have been made richer and thp poor poorer; that the government of the United States is fast becoming: a gov ernment of plutocracy. In former days you mourned over the practices by which the earnings of the masses were trans ferred to a few. Now you even go so far as to advocate the election of William McKinley, who indorses the policy of Grover Cleveland, of John Sherman, of Pierpont Morgan, and of the agents of the Rothschilds on both sides of the At lantic Do you know that William McKinley, or rather Mr. Hanna, who controls the action of Mr.

McKinley, con tends that the United States has no power "to coin money and regulate the value thereof," although the constitution expressly confers such power? I thank you that you have told the people your evil purposes. This may have been indiscreet on your part, but I assure you that it will put honest men on guard against the wicked work you propose, and perhaps your evil boasting may prove a boomerang and a benefit to the cause of honest money and honest men. Yours truly, William M. Stewart. THE GREAT QUESTION We Dare Not Intrust Oar Affairs to Those Who Doubt Our Nation's Potency.

My friends, in this campaign there is only one great issue. If that is settled, it will not give us a government perfect in all its details, but that one question must be settled first before other questions can be settled. A nation that is not able to adopt its own financial policy ig too impotent to legislate on any question where the people are concerned. We do not say that our opponents are insincere. We do not say they are less honest than we, but we do say that when they attempt to say to the American people that we must be dependent upon the legislative act of some other government, we say it matters not bow honest they may be, we dare not intrust legislation to theii hands.

I have said that in this contest vre have a repetition of the contest of 1776, and that in this campaign, as in that, a line will be drawn between the patriot and the Tory, and when I say it I do not say it, my friends, to criticise the man who believes that this nation is not great enough to legislate for its own people. He believes it honestly, and I recall your attention to the fact that in the struggle of our forefathers for liberty there were those who honestly believed that we ought to continue in this land the political supremacy of Great Britain. In this they were but mistaken, and if you go to the cemeteries you will find no monument reared by a grateful peo ple to commemorate the names of those who thought English domination should continue. There are people today who believe that this nation is net strong enough to legislate for our people, and there are people who honestly believe that an attempt to do so would bring distress and many evils. We may respect their honesty, but must we enter into a life and death struggle with them because we asert here that the financial domination by a foreign power is as dangerous to the liberties of the people as political domination?

Our whole tock of metallic money on May 1 of this year was and of paper $1,131,463,606. Striking features of the detailed treasury statement are: First, that we have more paper than metallic money, and that it will take more than all our metal money in the treasury and in circulation to redeem the paper; second. that our gold is but little mere than a fourth of all our circulation; third, that we have in circulation nearly twice as much paper as specie, and fourth, that more of our circulation is silver, cr based ca silver, than of gold.

Our friends in two or three eastern cities who have been flattering themselves they were the American people are exceedingly surprised at the discovery of a tremendous silver sentiment at their doors. Senator Chandler of New Hampshire told them some time ago that the people of the United States would not stand the single gold standard.

Of late the goldites have been insistent on pressing forward the statement that we have the gold standard, using that fact as an argument against bimetallism, which, they urged, would be a change. If their course has served no other purpose, it has drawn the attention of the people to the fact that the gold standard has been insidiously put into operation without the consent of the voters of the country, and, as Chandler predicted, there is a rebellion. The interview given by Colonel John R. Fellows of New York indicates that the rebellion has invaded even New York state to such an extent that the counties above the Harlem river will declare for free coinage. We are inclined to think that the bimetallic sentiment in darkest New York is not yet so strong as he suggests, but there is no doubt that it is growing rapidly.

It would be a somewhat interesting spectacle to behold the state of New York voting for free coinage, and we presume one of the results bf such a thing would be the immediate removal to the British isles of those Manhattan-ites to whom an independent American financial policy is repugnant and full of ingratitude to the benevolent "mother country. The declaration of the St. Louis convention that the existing gold standard must be preserved was one of the best things possible for the cause of bimetallism. It asked the producers of the country to vote for a continuance of present conditions, and there are few of them to whom those conditions have meant anything else than continuously falling prices and continuously appreciating debts. Men are not prone to vote themselves into a further indefinite period of distress.

The Republican plank is a pledge to hopelessness. It means that this country asserts its helplessness to do anything to remedy the palsy that has fallen upon industry and enterprise until Europe shall consent by international agreement that it may do so. The development of bimetallic sentiment among the tarmers oi western and northern New York means that they have been exercising the faculty belong ing to intelligent men they have been thinking. They have made up their minds that there is perfect community of interest between themselves and the west and south, and as fast as each earnest, hardworking eastern man ha? reached that conclusion there has been one more voter to. whom the silly street press have come as a personal in sult, inciting him to additional effort to bring others to his way of thinking.

Denver News. THINKING. Thinking is the first duty of man. He is responsible for his acts and can only act wisely when ho thinks clearly, quietly and persistently. Most of us fail by not continuing to pursue a subject until it is clear and gives us peace and power.

Too much thought on one subject tires, but the versatile thinker will have in hand a dozen subjects and go from one to the other, thus resting the mind by a pleasant variety. The normal state of the mind is change. A healthv child goes from one subject to another. By this combination of unity in variety one can east intellectually on the splen dors of the world of thought. FARMERS HELPING EACH OTHER.

There could be a more useful co-oper ation between farmers in the owning and operation of expensive machinery and the buying cf all kinds of 'articles of consumption. The work of the secretary of agriculture could be enlarged until he couid make useful suggestions to agriculturalists abou the proper succession of crops and the avoidance of overcrops.

The latest feature of the fight of the women in that state for full franchise is an attempt to stir up the colored women. Mrs. Naomi Anderson has charge of this part of the work.

She is a matronly looking colored woman who has been for years identified with the suffragists, and she possesses a natural gift of ora- MT.S. NAOMI ANDERSON. tory that has made her work particu larly effective in the past and valuable in the present. Mrs. Anderson has been engaged by the California State Suf frage association to stump the state.

Mrs. Anderson is a resident of Sacramento. She was the first colored woman to advocate suffrage for her sex, having gpoken at the first woman's rights meeting that was held in the west Surrendering to Wall Street. The dishonest money platform adopt ed by the majority of the Republican national convention tells a woeful story for William McKinley. The selfish advocates of the single gold standard have long been insulting the people of the United States with their audacious claims of being advocates of sound money," when, in fact, they have been merely speculating in the vitality of the government.

False pretense is the chief accomplishment of seme of these leaders. When they robbed the country in the collection of war taxes in time of peace and the prostitution of the taxing power to private gain, they did it under the specious name of protection to American industries. The process of giving wealth to men who do not work and making the poor more miserable they call the promotion of 4 'honest money." It is due to William McKinley and M. A. Hanna to say that they were anxious not to be chained to the single standard dishonesty.

Their course, however, never had the full panoply of manhood. They deliberately set out to straddle the most important question of the day, to represent, as far as they might, the prevailing silver sentiment of the central and western states without giving offense to the gold cormorants of Wall street. They have been knocked from their paradoxical position. They have been commanded to stand on a speculators' platform, and they obey. The whole Kanna cabinet, hoping for office, will fall down and worship th golden calf.

They will have to. Cincinnati Enquirer. Unless I mistake the character of the people among whom we live you will never be able to get them to support a candidate for the presidency who ill continue the policy of mortgaging the American people to foreign syndicates when 70,000,00 people stand ready to protect the treasury of the United States. Aye, more than that, upon the decision of the United States may turn the financial policy of the world. Not only in America, but all over the world, the toiling masses are looking for relief to that nation which ought to stand fore most in every great reform.

If the gold standard is a good thing, I ask you, why did not the Republican party at St. Louis declare that the gold standard should be maintained permanently, and if the gold standard is a bad thing why was it so cowardly as to say to tho American people, "You should submit to a bad thing until foreign potentates and powers come to the relief cf a Buffering people?"
