Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neighbhrs,; farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wagesat all. - (Extract Irom the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in New York August 18th.) Every Democratic paper should print, and every Democratic speaker should id to his audiences, the following let- written by President Cleveland in 1892 to the editor of the Atlanta Consti tution: i , "Gray Gables. Buzzard Bay, Mass., July 16. 1892. Clark Howell, Esq My , Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent letter has gratified me exceedingly. It has a tone of true Democracy about it, and is pervaded with the sort of Demo cratic frankness which is very pleasing. "I think tb underlying principles of party organization is what you so ad mirably express as an- acceptance of the arbitrament of the National Conven tion. On the other hand, it is as fully the duly of one opposed to shut his mind and heart to any feeling of irrita tion or resentment that might be al lowed to grow out of opposition based upon honest judgment and a conscien tious desire for party success. ' "I am not surprised, though I am gratified by the announcement that from this time to the close of the campaign our own service and the invaluable in fluence of the Constitution will be devoted to the fight tor Democratic success. It honestly seems to me that Democrats . who are not at this time, loyal to the cause are recreant to their country. I "Personal advancement of man is nothing the triumph of; the principles we advocate is everything. "Hoping that-we may congratulate each otb'-r on a a glorious result in No vember, I am, vours sincerely, "Grover Cleveland." THE PARITY HUMBUG. The gold standard advocates have i been playing the parity humbug on the people until it has about played out. They say the silver dollar is worth really about 50 cents, but as the Government maintains the parity with gold, therefore this 50 cents worth of silver is worth a dollar or 100 cents. When asked how this parity is maintained tbey have been in the habit of telling people that the Government redeems silver dollars with gold, and thus the silver is kept as good as gold. When questioned too closely and cornered they wiggle-around and say that you may exchange your silver dollars for Treasury notes, then present your Treasury notes at the United States Treasury or a sub-Treasury and get gold for them. That's what they call redeeming' silver with gold, and keeping up the parity. But it may be incidentally re marked that there are not many greenbacks going around for that purpose, and that the people Who own most of the greenbacks are not so accommodating as to exchange them for silver dollars, for theyvcan make better use of them by keeping them to draw gold out of the Treas ury. Every one who knows any thing about it knows that the Gov ernment does not redeem silver and is under no obligation to redeem sil ver, which, in the eyes of the law is as good money as gold, although "under the practice of the Treasury it is not. There were a good many people, who believed, as they . were told, that the Gov ernment does .redeem silver with gold, so many that Senator Faulk ner, as a member of the Democratic Committee wrote to Secretary Car lisle a short while ago asking that question. He knew better, but he wanted to get an official answer to put a quietus on that falsehood, and hence he wrote Secretary Carlisle asking the question. Secretary Car ole's answer was that the Govern ment does not redeem silver ,with gold, and as far as he knew, no such redemption had ever been made. That settled the matter as far as the By Treasury.is concerned, and put the gag for the time being at least, on those editors who were in the habit of asserting it. -" V A man living in New . York, who had been reading in the' gold papers there about the way the parity be tween gold and iilver was maintained took fifty dollars to the Sub-Treasury and politely requested that he be given gold In exchange for it, and was surprised to learn that the Sub Treasury was not doing that kind of business. -And then he got mad and went to the paper which he was in the habit of reading, the Post, and wanted to know why it had: been perpetrating that fraud on its read ers. It answered by dodging, and undertook to show that the parity was maintaned because there was now no excess of silver, and while this was the case the parity would be maintained and silyer would be as good as gold, although it might not be convertible Into gold. But the Post might have said the same about paper money or any other legal tender money which passes current. The fact is the Government is no where pledged to maintain the parity between gold and silver, for the Gov ernment, if the law be adhered to, recognizes no difference between the coins as money. Of course, it rec ognizes the difference in value, but that is all The Sherman act de clared that it was the policy of the Government to maintain the parity between the different kinds of money ; that is, that one kind of money should have no ordinary advantage in law over another. In the practice of this Government down to 1873 silver was the equal in law of gold, and In 1878 that equality was reasserted by the Stanley Matthews resolution, which declares that the Government had the right to redeem all of its obliga tions in silver dollars, whether due to the foreign or native bondholders for the bonds held by them, or to the railroads which carries the mails, or the man who carries them on horse back from the railway distributing point to the rural officers. The parity between the green back or the Sherman note and coin is maintained by the convertibility of them into coin. They are redeem able in coin and consequently-represent so much coin and pass tor so much, but it is not so with silver coin for that is money of final redemption, represents nothing bat Itself and is redeemable in nothing. The parity between it and gold is maintained simply because it carries the stamp of the Government on it, the Gov ernment receives It for dues, and it is a legal tender in the payment of debts, and in exchange for commodi ties purchased That is all gold can do, and that is what maintains the parity between silver and gold. When the gold men are compelled to admit that the Government does not redeem silver with gold and thus maintain the parity they give away their case, and are forced' tcj confess that the parity is maintained by the stamp that the! coin bearsand the qualities imparted to it by that stamp and the law. . IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH THEN. Decoy Palmer is now in the field as the standard bearer of the gold men, although he will attend to his law business and not do much stand ard bearing. He understands that he is simply to play the part of decoy to draw as many votes as he can away from Bryan and help McKin ley to that extent. An interesting feature ot this campaign would be a joint debate between Editor Palmer of 187&, when, he was a silver cham pion, and Candidate Palmer in 1896, when he is a gold man. As editor of the Springfield, 111., State Register. Editor Palmer made a silver record, from which the following "extracts are taken: "Scratch an opponent of the coinage of silver and you will find a supporter Ot the national Dank system, and you wont have to scratch very hard." Sena tor Palmer in State Register, Jan. 25, 1878. . "It is all very well to abuse the friends of the silver dollar as inflationists, thieves, repudiators, and all that sort of thing, but really the friends of the gold dollar ought to pay the same attention to the members of the convention who framed the United States Constitution, and who made the sllvar dollar the unit and standard of value in this county." Senator Palmer in State Register, Jan. 24. 1878. "It there is any dollar more honest than the silver dollar of 371 & grains (of pure silver) it has not been discovered in the century or more that the nation has existed. It there can be any such thing as a dishonest dollar , that miserable sham trick and travesty of a coin, a gold dollar, exactly fills that designation." Senator Palmer in State Register, Feb ruary, 1838. ' But let us hear him again. Read this : 7 "There is not a man anywhere who opposes the coinage of silver who does not insist that Congress has the right to issue legal tender paper at pleasure, or who does not rest assured that Congress has the right to farm out the privilege of supplying the people with . currency through banking corporations. Demo crats, the fight for the silver dollar is more than forty years old, We won It once against the national banks under the lead of Old Hickory, and by his bones we'll win it again." Senator Palmer in State Register, Jan. 20, 1878. And this is how he- got into the United States Senate as told by Mr. L. D. Many of Mansfield, Mo.,who says be knows hira well. i "When Mr. Palmer was running for the position which he now holds, as everybody knows,- the political com plexion of the Legislature of Illinois was such as to make hit selection practically impossible without securing the votes of three Populists. To get these three votes Mr. fPalmer got "down on,' his knees, so to speak, and pledged himself to free silver and a low tarii. Mr. Tau beneck, the Populist National Chair man, who was a member ot the Legisla- tufe at that time, held the balance of power and cast the deciding vote which made John M. Palmer a United States Senator. Then what diaxMr. Palmer do? He proved himself one of Mr. Cleveland's most active lieutenants in striking silver the last fatal blow in the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. "e ; x ; " Editor" Palmer and Candidate Palmer may -hold different opinions, just as Secretary Carlisle holds dif ferent opinions from Congressman Carlisle, but men who, for reasons best known to themsel ves, turn sum mersaults in that style, should not pose as the infallible guides of their fellow citizens on a subject in which they say they have learned a" good deal that they didn't know. They may not be done learning yet, and may discover later that they are wrong now. MIHOB. MENT1U5. When Mr. McKinley was a Candi date for Con cress in 1890 be was a little more willing to answer ques tions than he has been since Mark Hanna put his padlock on his mouth. Then he didn't like Trusts, and said he liked silver and liked it so well that he 'fwould have gold and silver alike," precisely what the Democrats now demand and precisely what Wm. J. Bryan advocates. The following is the letter which he wrote to the Secretary of the Stark . County Far mers' Alliance: I have just learned that a committee of the Farmers Alliance nave addressed a letter to me making; inquiries about my position on certain public questions in which they nave a deep interest, l beg to say that I have not received the letter, and am advised ot it this evening for the first time by a message from Mr. T. R. Morgan. Sr. Not having received the letter. I do not know fully the scope of the inquiries, bat answer as best I can from information at band: . First I am opposed to all trusts and combinations of the kind in the restraint of trade, and would favor any legislation which would destroy them. 1 voted for the Sherman Anti-Trust bill, which was a step in the right direction. As to the railroads and their treat meat of the public, I have always fav ored regulation to prevent unjust dis criminations and secure equality of ad' vantages for shippers at rates fair, just and reasonable. I am opposed to the holding of lands by aliens in tracts, large or small; the holding of large tracts of land, for spec ulative purposes by aliens or corpora tion! should, so far as possible, be pre' vented. I am in favor of the use of all the sil ver product of the United States tor money as a circulating medium. I wcu'd have silver and gold alike. I advocated and voted for the Conger Compound Lard bill. I regret I have not seen the letter, that I might more fully reply to its inquiries. I shall be giad at any time to express to you my views upon public questions WILLIAM MCKINLEY. JR. Millersburg, O., Oct. 27, 1890. - In his letter of acceptance he is as dumb as an oyster on trusts, and be now, because he has been hired by the gold men in his party, has gone back on his professions and on his record in Congress on the stiver question. ' He is a mere automaton in the hands of Mark Hanna, who holds a mortgage on him. Before the St. Louis I convention 'Boss Piatt called him the "mortgaged candi date." 1 Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, the same statesman who lent the in fluence of his name and position to the circulation of that slander about Mr. Bryan being in the pay of the silver mine owners, is now perambu lating the country and making stump speeches against Bryan and free silver. To show how consistent this statesman is the New York Jour nal presents for his distinguished con sideration the following: In 1893, when Senator Thurston was seeking election to the post he now fills in the United States Senate, he wrote to the chairman of the Nebraska Republi can Convention a letter in which, among other things favorable to silver, he said "I advocated jthe restoration of free coinage before any of those who are now the self-selected champions of silver in Nebraska had ever opened their lips on the subject. We of the West must nave cneap money. Mot money intrinsically cheap, but eheap in interest charges for its use. I assert that the American people, and especially those of the West, demand the tree and unlimited coinage of silver." About the same time Mr. Thurston took to writing letters to that remark able economist, Mr. Gsorge Ganton, of this city. In one of these communica tions, written in July, 1893, he said: "I have no doubt the remonetizition of silver in the United States would speedily and certainly appreciate the price of silver, not only in this country, bat throughout the whole world. No matter what other Governments do, this country ouht not to eliminate silver from use as a coin metal. Any legislation in that direcrion will be looked npon by the common people as in the interest of the money power for the express purpose of increasing the purchasing , power of money and de creasing the selling price of everything produced by human toil. It is a fact which should not be overlooked by statemea that the price of American silver and the pr ces of American wheat reached low water mark on the same day." . ' Bat Mr. Thurston' does not enjoy solitary' distinction in this incon sistency, for both Mr. McKinley, the gentleman whom Mr. Mark Hanna put up as the head of the Republican ticket, and Mr. Palmer, whom the McKinley Aid Society put up as a decoy at Indianapolis, are in the same boat with him, for they were both supporters of free silver until Mark Hanna muzzled the mouth of the former and Wall Street got its grip on the latter. In a speech delivered recently, Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, President of the New ; York Central Railway, said: ' "Well, for the pist two years we have done a lot of preparing, but there has been no business. There is nothing that hurts a railway man so much as to see empty cars standing on the aide tracks. These cars should be ro ling.. Nothing illustrates the prosperity, the wealth, the growth of this country as the rolling of the car wheels. When thev don't roll, .when, as'now, threare40 000 cars lying idle on tracks ret ween here and Chicago, something is wrong." . There is some truth in this, for when the railroads are kept Dusy- it is pretty good evidence that busi ness , is moving : but how Can Chauncey , M. Depew, or anybody else, expect the railroads to be btjsy when the prices of farm prodncts are sd low that the farmer - can't make any : profit out of them, and . can barely cover the cost of production which they sometimes fail to do ? When the farmsr can't selt he can't .buy ; when he can't buy the manu facturers and the merchants suffer, and when the farmers and the manu facturers and the merchants suffer the railroads must suffer, and their cars must "stand idle on the tracks.' It must be remembered that all' this of which Mr. Depew complains is accruing under the gold standard, which he is devoting much 6f his time and eloquence to perpetuate.

' There is a good deal of dis cussion in Washington as to whether Federal officeholders who make speeches for the Democratic ticket will be dismissed from the service, requested to resign or . be permitted to remain. Cabinet officers will be expected to toe the gold mark, but it would be small, indeed, to make those holding lower positions victims of their honest opinions and the ex ercise of the, rights of citizenship. It would be easy to imagine Mr. Cleveland having the disposition to expel every true Democrat from the public service, but it would be a dangerous performance. It is to be presumed that the President desires to retire to private life with the respect of somebody. Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem. TWINKLINGS.

Changs, Jane 15 ly sa to th Erperlenoe of ay Man WitH toided Bi TolTef.In Coaahooae. - A prominent ' north i eider some time ago read an artiole about the thrilling midnight adventures of a well known south eider with a bur glar in the ooalhouse., ! 1 It often happened that it became necessary for this gentleman to go out in the ooalhouse in the middle of the night He decided that if he ran across a burglar he would not be oaught unarmed, so hp purchased a nioe, shiny revolver. The night after making the pur chase he came home very late and found that there was no ooal in the house. This was the very chance he wanted; he would go out and get some coal, and if there was a ooal thief in the ooalhouse he would show him how he could shoot. Arming himself with the revolver and a ooal scuttle, he started for the ooalhouse. Before descending the back steps he was particular to cock the pistoL Holding it carefully out at arm's length, he started across the yard and arrived safely at the ooalhouse. When within a few feet of the door, he dropped the scuttle and coughed loudly in order to give the thief, if there was one, a chance to run for his life, not wishing to murder a man in cold blood. He was rather disappointed not to see a large man rush from the ooal house; but, nevertheless, he went in and began to feel around for the shovel with his foot. Not finding it, he made some remarks that would not look well in print, laid the pis tol on the ground and began to pick up lumps of ooaL In his efforts to find pieces of the desired size hef entirely forgot the pistol and accidentally stepped on it. There was a loud report. The daring hero gave one wild yell and made a rush for the door. But he was not destined to escape so easily. His foot became entangled in an old bed spring that the good housewife had discarded. He imagined that he had run over a burglar and that the bur glar had caught him by the foot. The noise made by the spring was to his excited mind the burglar grit ting his teeth. When by desperate efforts he had navigated to the middle of the yard, he tripped and fell. Then be gan a fight for life. The man rolled over and over, but the spring always came on top. Finally he became so tangled up that it was impossible to move. During the battle two small fruit trees were torn up, a chicken coop was completely demolished and the well curb loosened. It is said that it took a policeman, two plumbers and the entire fire department to get them untangled. Atlanta Constitu tion.

Crimea of violence there will ever be while human nature lasts, and crimes against property are inevita ble in densely populated cities, but professional crime is a disgrace to the community and to the age. And the present system of dealing with proiessionai criminals is about as sensible and as satisfactory as if, in the case supposed, the old foxes when trapped should be kept for a measured interval, and then let loose again among the covers. More over, the general diminution- of crime only seems to make the faot more significant that crimes of the kind attributable to professional criminals seem to increase rather than to diminish. These men are leniently dealt with on aooount of the ignorant use made of the judicial statistics, and they are taking advantage of it . To set a professional housebreaker at large because there are fewer crimi nals than formerly is about as ra tional as it' would be to allow "in fswtious oases" to mix with their neighbors because there are no lon ger epidemics of fever such as used to prevail.
