G. S. Wright, Com. Bryan Forces the Money Issue. At Des Moines it looked as though Bryan had consented to the new program of attributing all our ills to truste and imperialism.

If he did waver then it has become evident during the week since that it was only temporary, and that his back has again stiffened decidedly on 16 to 1. He went from Des Moines to Chicago, and within 48 hours said in reply to the question why it was not expedient to avoid the 16 to 1 question: You cannot decide public questions on the basis of expediency. As a momber of the party I have said and still say that ani abandonment of the ratio of 16 to 1 would be equivalent to an abandonment of the law money can be question, adopted until because no is coinage upon; and, since the 16 to 1 ratio has been agreed upon, an abandonment of it would mean either that the ratio is wrong, or that, although it is right we are afraid to advocate it. To leave out all mention of a ratio would be to return to the ambiguous and deceptive phraseology which charaoterized the financial platforms of both the democrat and republican parties for seyeral campaigns." Not content with forcing 16 to squarely to the front he took the bottom out of the trust argument by saying that our present high prices are an illustration of the advantages of a bigger money supply: The increasing supply of gold from the Klondike, the importation of gold to cover trade balances, and an expenditure of 000,000 of borrowed money, taken in connection with the large crop, have brought a temporary advantage, but instead of strengthening the gold standard, an creasing supply of money proves the theory that more mopey means better prices." Still further, in another Interview, he specifically repudiated the schemes of the conservative men at the Dee Moinea convention, saying: My attention has been called to the report sent out from Dee Molnes to the effect that I was willing to subordinate silver question to other questions, and I bave been asked whether I was correctly quoted. never said Des Moines or Anywhere else that the money question should to in the rear.

I have insisted at all times and all places that the money question will be before the country until bimetallism is restored. I have repeated over and over again that this nation must act alone, without waiting for the aid or consent 'of any other nation, and that 16 to 1 is the only Tatlo at which the mints can be opened. There 18 no possible excuse for the constant effort the of A section of the press to misrepresent views of free silver men." To cap the climax Bryan went from Chicago to Lincoln, and there dictated the democratic platform, the opening plank of which de in such marked contrast to the opening plank in the Iowa platform that its real purpose cannot be misunderstood. It is me follows: Our confidence in the principies set forth in the Chicago platform has been increased as those principles have been vin. dicated by events, gold standard is less defensible now than it was in 1896, since the president has confessed its fallure by sending a commission to Europe to secure international bimetallism, while the Inability of the commission to secure forthe is proof that the people United States must act alone if they pect rellef.

present legal ratio of 16 to the natural and necessary ratio, and opponents of that ratio have nothing to offer in its place but the evasive and ambigto uous the phraseology which for years furnished gold standard advocates 8 mask behind which to hide while they secretly labored to make monometallism permanent. Any improvement business conditions due to the Increased production of gold or to a favorable of trade, instead of supporting the gold standard doctrines shows that more money makes better and points the way to bimetallism AB the means of securing a permanent increase in the volume of a standard money throughout world. The republican scheme to Ing gold the only legal tender money has at lessen the A value of standard money by maklast become apparent to all, and must be resisted by the and wealthproducing classes of the country. The plan to retire the greonbacke in the interest of national bank notes, denounced the democrats in 1896, but then defended by republicans, has boldly stalked forth from its hiding place and threatens the formation of a gigantic paper money trust," If Bryan was overcome for a moment in Iowa by the political sagacity of the Iowa conservatives, he has upparently recovered himself. His present intention ie evidently to rise or fall with 16 to 1, and all who question the "diyin3 ratio" may as well part company with him at once.

THE UPPER DES MOINES has r'eprinted all the expressions on the local senatorial situation that have come to its notice. Our readers know all that has been suid, good, bad, and indifferent. It is to be observed that the neighboring papers have as fL rule preserved a discreet silence. THE Ruthven Free Pross suggests: What i is the mutter with dropping the candidates now in the feld and r'eturning Senator Funk? We will never find better man." Senator Funk would not accept, and all talk of him is without his consent. THE Gear-Cummina trouble has broken out new spot.

It is proposed to elect H. O. Weaver of Louisa county to succeed C. T. Hancock as chairman of the republican state central committee, and the Cummins men say Gear might as well be chosen himself.

IN 1861 Wendell Philips made 8 speech in New Bedford, the evening after word came that Fort Sumter had been fired on. Almost the opening paragraph of that remarkable and soon retracted address was a8 follower "Here are a series of states girding the gulf who think their peculiar institutione require that they should have a separate government. They have a right to decide that question without appealing to you or me. A large body of people, sufficient to make a nation, have come to the conclusion that they will have a government of a certain form. Who denies them the right? Standing with the principles of '76 behind us who can deny them the right? I maintain on the prinolples of 376 that Abraham Lincoln has no right to a soldier in Fort Sumter." Probably our history does not afford a more notable instance of a total misstanding of the "consent of the governed" guaranteed by the spirit and princilpes of 176, unless some of the recent utterances of Hoar, Atkinson, Bryan, et are entitled to be named in such company.

WE commend the Courier's attention to Wm. J. Bryan's opinion that our present high prices are due to the increused amount of money in circulation. Ir is already evident that the noncommitted on the senutorship will be in control in the legislature. HARD coal is 65 cents more a ton this year in Algona because there are not boats enough on the great lakes to carry the tonnage, Geo.

E. Roberts, writing from Washington, notes anothor phase of the same trouble: The rate for carrying Iron from Duluth to Lake Erie points has advanced from 45 and 50 cents a ton to $1.30. Every old tub that can be pressed into service in use. A vessel will nearly pay for itself in one season at the present rates." Here ie another item for the Courier'e trust" list. The tug boat trust oatohes us all.

A FREE SILVER republican named Parker bae been nominated in Clay county to run against E. P. Barringer of Palo Alto for the legislature, Barringer la an active Gear supporter, while Parker, It de understood, will vote for Cumming if elected, the soheme being to get a lot of Cummins republican votes for him. The same scheme is in waiting for the senatorial nominee, when the district names one. It looks 88 though the United States senatorship may prove embarrassing in some districts.

STATE SUPT. BARRETT says the state needs three new normal schools, and suggests that "a good plan would be for the legislature to constitute a commiesion and authorize it to establish these schools, starting one each year." It is doubtful if the state will ever again experiment with locating commissioners. The legislature is the responsible body that should do the locating. FRANK W. BICKNELL has a theory that C.

T. Hancock has refused to act again as state chairman for the republicane because of his relations to ator Allison. No such far-away reason is needed. Mrs. Hancock has been very decidedly opposed to his accepting the chairmanship again, and though there might be a hundred other ons, the other ninety-nine are not worth mentioning.

D. W. HURN of Clear Lake has been nominated for the legislature for Cerro Gordo county. He is an able man. ED.

SHERMAN of the Fort Dodge Post, who belongs to the Hinchon-Wade wing of the democracy, says: "Say what you will, the fact remains that the two great issues before the people today are trusts and Imperialism." It looked last week as though this side WAS on top, but how about Bryan's interviews and speeches for ten days? Bryan says the money issue is the reul issue. IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. Spirit Lake wants a new hotel, The. Milwaukee is building a atone arch bridge where it crosaes East Okoboji. 'The stations on the M.

Rolfe Reveille: A. F. Bacon, better known to our readers as Bert Bacon, is EL candidate for superintendent up in Kossuth county. Bert is former Rolfe boy and by hard knocks has gradually crawled up. He 18 a practical man and will make Kossuth a good superintendent.

D. Smith of Emmetsburg is home from the Klondyke. One of the reasons, he says, for 90 many failures in Alaska is the fact that so many men go there who know nothing of the work they have to do there, and that for the right class of men the country is all right. He adds that the reason he goes back is because he can do much better there than he can in Iowa. Little Miss Edna Cole's Algona friends will read with sympathy of a curious accident that has befallen her at Bode, She was ironing and one of her irons got too hot to use, and she attempted to cool the iron by pouring water on it while holding the iron in her As 8 result the steam scalded her hand and fingers so frightfully that the cutiole pealed off, and it is expected she will lose the nail from at least three of her fingers.

Spencer is to have a hotel and opera house combined. It le planned to put about $25,000 into the building and have an opera house with a seating capacity of 600 on the second floor, the balance of the building to be used for hotel purposes.

It is now practically certain that Supt. Van Erdewyk will be renominated county superintendent by the democrats, and while he does not want to run, THE UPPER DES MOINES expects to see his name on the ticket, With Treasurer Smith Sheriff Christensen renominated, as will be, the democratic ticket is easily known in advance, and no one will make the mistake of assuming that it is not strong one. A vigorous effort will be made to elect all of these county officials, and republicans should meet a week from Friday with this situation clearly in view. It is not yet even hinted who will be up against Mr. Cowles.

Neither is anyone suggested for senator, The democrats will wait until the republicans get into field. No Light on the Senatorship. The 47th district senatorial convention will meet again Friday at Emmetsburg. There is no suggeation yet of a settlement of the contest. There are some who think that Crim Cory will arrange some means of deciding by which one or other will Some think a new man from Clay county will be nominated.

Some think all three of the present candidates should withdraw and allow the convention to caucus on a new man. There is nothing, however, to 16, Crim really indicate 11. any change 18, Republican County Convention. The republican county convention meets a week from Friday.

He predicts nomination Crim of Emmet county in the 44 Big Five" senatorial dis trict, and seems to be satisfled from a Gear standpoint with such a result. Esthorville Vindicator: The Algona Up.

PER the DES MOINES did not look with approval on proposition to submit the solection of a candidate state senator in this district to the state central committee. The trouble with the U. D.
