There is not ONE POLITICAL SECRET I would withhold from them. A Dem ocrat all my life, I am to-day doubly impressed with the purity of the teach ing of Jetlerson and Jackson. The principles, however.of true Democracy ire one thing; the practices of machine Democracy quite another thing. I fa ired in this State the ratification of the new :onstitution--the essence of which was equal rights to all, exclusive privileges to none," under the belief that it was Jetlersonian. The machine Democracy opposed it and thereupon DIM K 1) ME FURTHER PARTICIPATION in their counsels. I glory in my pom with the Republican legislation of 1873. They demonetized it, and tbe money of tbe country is contracted MORI THAN ONE-THIRD. That the people may recover tb'.ir lost ground, this stalwart young party enunciates this bold declaration : "We demand tbe free and unlimited coinage of silver oa equal terms with gold at tbe present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without asking the permission of Great Brltian or any other foreign nation." We make this demand because gold and silver are the money of our Con stitution ; to prevent a contraction of our currency, and to place it beyond the power of syndicates TO "CORNER" THE ULTIMATE REDEMP TION MONET of the people. We insist upon the legal ratio of 16 to 1 because time and experience have proved its correctness. When the act of demonetization of 1873 was passed, silver in tbe dollar was at a premium over gold, and until that time was tbe unit of American values. We want that act repealed because it was crime. Secretary Carlisle denounced it as "the most gigantic ctime of this or any other age!" We are thoroughly American, hence we demand it "withoutasking the per mission of Great Britian or other foreign nation." Why should we ask the permission of any other power? Has any other power ever ASKED OCR PERMISSION in ,the regulation of tbeir monetary affairs? Did England consult us when she established, by laws, tbe monetary value of gold? bach . nation deter mines for itself what shall be money Why should tbeold parties be. so solic itous about other nations? We be lieve in watching the INTEREST OF OUR COUNTRY If we keep faith with our own peo ple we are sure not to break it with other people. Unfortunately. Grover Cleveland was elected President in 1892. He has never been in sympathy with tbe plain people of this country on the fi nancial question. He was not in sym pathy with tbe Democratic party which elected him, and they KNEW IT AT THE SAME TIME. He was opposed to the coinage of sil ver, lie favored the national banking system. His ideas were fashioned af ter those of Alexander Hamilton, in direct opposition to Thomas Jefferson.

The minerals and forestry display is complete, and makes one of the most comprehensive and beautiful exhibits of natural resources ever ernment, and the revenue was used to prosecute the war against the Cuban revolutionists. To make the injury complete, Antonio was found guilty by court-martial of sympa thising with the insurgents and was sentenced to death. Fifty-one others were convicted and sentenced at the same time, without having been heard. Antonio was in New York The specific accusation against him was that he uttered disloyal senti ment to Spain here. He tried to have the action set aside through his attorney in Havana, lne an swer of the Spanish government was that Antonio Mora was dead in law and eould have no civil status.
