ciated, and the gold dollar is a 2 cent dollar." This is a "clap-trap" argu ingmen started to climb to the top of a great smokeless chimney. That chimney had been built by the invitation and upon the promise of republican protective legislation. In the factory over which it towered was employment for twice a thousand men. Its mighty roar had heralded the prosperity of a whole community. It had stood a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night for a busy, industrious, happy people.

Now bleak, blackened, voiceless and dismantled, like a grim specter of evil, it frowned down upon the hapless city, where poverty, idleness, stagnation and want attended the complete disaster of the free-trade experiment. Up and up and np they climbed, watched by the breathless multitude below. Up and up and up, until at last they stood upon its summit; and there in the glaring of the electric lights, cheered by the gathered thousands, they unfurled and nailed an American flag. Down in the streets strong men wept the happy tears of hope and mothers, lifting up their babes, invoked the blessing of the flag; and then impassioned lips burst forth in song, the hallelujah of exulting hosts, the mighty pean of a people's joy. That song, the enthusiastic millions sing it yet: "Hurrah! Hurrah! we briinr the jubile-! Hurrah! Hurrah! The flag that makes us free! So we sinjr the chorus from the mountains to the sea: Hurrah for McKinley and protection." Over the city that free flag waved, caressed by the passing breeze, kissed by the silent stars.

And there the first glad sunshine of the morning fell upon it, luminous and lustrous with the tidings of republican success. Choice of the Nation's Toilers. On behalf of those stalwart workmen and all the vast army of American toilers, that their employment may be certain, their wages just, their dollars the best of the civilized world, on behalf of that dismantled chimney and the deserted factory at its base; that the furnaces may once more flame, the mighty wheels revolve, tne whistles scream, the anvils ring, tho spindles hum; on behalf of the thousand cottages rounded out and all the humble homes of this broad land; that comfort and contentment may again abide, the fireside glow, the women sing, the children langh; yes, and on behalf of that American flag and all it stands for and represents; for the honor of every strip, for the glory of every star; that its power may fill the earth and its splendor span the sky, I ask the nomination of that loyal American, that Christian gentleman, soldier statesman, patriot, William McKinley.

Senator Pelfer is not going to be carried off by the free silver craze. In a recent issue of his paper, the Topeka Advocate, he has this to say of the scheme to unite the populists, democratic and free silver parties on a silver platform: "Populists should go on as they have done and keep in the middle of the road.

If there were nothing at stake but the silver question the populist party would not have come into existence. Democrats have never thought about forming a new party a silver party. They have a silver organization in every state, but they are all democratic. They were formed by democrats in the interest of the democrat party. Not one democrat in public life, with the single exception of Mr.

Tillman of South Carolina, has ever threatened to abandon his party in case it declares against silver. Populists are satisfied with their own party's position on this as on all other questions. They would not be willing to embark in a silver crusade when that would put in jeopardy every other principle they hold dear, and thus wreck the only party that aims at in free silver.

Mr. Scott says that when he went to Mexico, a Mexican dollar was worth 93 cents in American money. When he came away it was worth 53 cents. And yet wages remained precisely the same! In the month of May, 1893, silver dropped from 75 cents to 4S cents on the dollar, and yet the mining company for which Mr.

Scott was working did not raise the wages of its laborers a penny! The company was operating a gold mine and tho only result of the drop in silver was that for every dollar's worth of gold the company takes out it can now buy two days' labor, whereas when money was "dear" it could buy but one day's labor with its dollar's worth of gold. Money has become cheap, but tho laborers don't get any more of it than when it was dear. And the same thing is true, Mr. Scott says, as to the common farm pro talking about silver money. It is op posed to any form of money which po ssesses an intrinsic value.

country and the welfare of the plain people. Steadfastly, courageously, victoriously, and with tongue of fire he has pleaded their cause. His labor, ability, and perseverance have enriched the statutes of the United States with legislation in their behalf. All his contributions to the masterpieces of American oratory are the outpourings cf a pure heart and a patriotic purpose. His God-given powers are consecrated to the advancement and renown of his own countrymen.

He has the courage of his convictions, and cannot be tempted to woo success or avert defeat by any sacriflco of principle or concession to popular clamor. In the hour of republican disaster, when other leaders were excusing and apologizing, he stood steadfastly by that grand legislative act which bore his name, confidently submitting his case to the judgment of events, and calmly waiting for that triumphant vindication whose laurel this convention is impatient to place upon his brow. Strengthened and seasoned by long congressional service; broadened by the exercise of important executive powers; master of great economic questions of the age; eloquent, siuglo-hearted and sincere, he stands today the most conspicuous and commanding character of this generation; divinely ordained, as 1 believe, for a great mission, to lead this people out from the shadow of adversity into the sunshine of a new and enduring prosperity. Omnipotence never sleeps. Every great crisis brings a leader.

For every supreme hour Providence finds a man. The necessities of JG are almost as great as those of '01.
