Town councils ami corporations anil ruiln ads and even individuals issued their own sbinplastere.and everybody took them. I have a dozen different kind* now and look at them onco in a while. Wo old vetorans can't bo scared to death about currency,and all we want is enough of it, whether it bo silver or gold or greenbacks. But we do waut something done to revive our industries and put the wheels in inotiou and increase the values of our land and our products. Wo waut our boys to have something to do at home and not havo to go away in search of employment. We have six boys and they are scattered front New York to Mexico. There is an other lamentable coiiscqueuej to tb? present distress. The marriage o; young men and maidens have nluios censed to be. A young man workiug for So ) or .?? ) a mouth can't afford U get married, l'ar- nts will strain them selves to give their boys a collegiati education and when they get theii diplomas there is nothing for them te ele>. The* girls who ir.iuate eotr.e homo relineel and cultured and woule marry if they coulel select a mate, bnl they can't, an el so they just live along in a state of innocuous desuetude. micro tire tit least twcUty-tive- e>t eithcl tex in thin toivu nho ought to mate and marry, but tiny will not. Whet 1 was r young wan there was lie ti ul'Ie about marrying. Kvcrybodj got married. I could have marrim" three or tour girls ami my wife hae choice of half a doze :t cle ver voting meu. Tin rc was something fe>r everyboily to ile'. Now we don't i xpect Mr. Hryau tc reform all the evils that have befallen the country, but we ilo expect him t> veto all the extravagance e>f congress. The reform must begin right there. This last Congress spent at least 62U0,000,hot) more than was mcs-ary, am! it \vu- spel.t on the log-rolling principle' of "you vote for my bill ami I'll vote for y>urs." Considering Hit hardness ot the times, these* appropriatiods were outrageous. Wo want Mr. I'.ryun there to wnteh them and curl them like) Andrew Jackson did. 'lhat he will be triumphantly elected we have no ih.tiht. It is in the air. We feel it and breathe it. My great regret is that I was lied in Chicago to hear him anil feel-good all over ami have a little hysteria myself and feel the turkey bum [is rise on my spina! column and shed a lew tears of delightful e-niotion as I drank in the thrilling eleipi* nee of the bov i rator as they rail him.

Senator Teller and six of his associates who ' left the national Republican convention have, made public the following address to the sil- , ver Republicans of the country, setting forth | their views of tho situation: We deem It fitting that we, who have ( heretofore affiliated with tho National Re- , ? publican party, and who have rejected tho ilnaucial plank of the platform adopted at , St. Louis and.refused to support tho notni- | necs of tho convention, should state our po- , sition in the present campaign and give j briefly our reason in support thereof. , "When certain delegates to tho National | 1 Republican Convention repudiated the National financial plank of the platform and j withdrew from the convention we determined that wo would give our support to su.-h can- ( didates as should appear most willing and ( r:&>!2ihl?? ifi iiiiUnr* in tln? n?<t irati."m of silver i [ to its rightful place aa standard money. | \ . "The Democratic party in its Chicago con- i i 1 vontion has taken a position in Its platform so pronouncedly favorable to silver, and has nominate ! candidates of such unusual, tinquestionable convictions in fa,-or of the bi1 metallic policy ami of audi high personal j character, that wo Irave determined to give I them our support because they represent the great principle of the birnetallists which wo oeliove to be tlio cehso of humanity ami civilisation and tiie paramount question now before the American people. "We therefore announce that we shall, by voice and vote, support Messrs. llryiin ami Sowall for President and Vice-President, and we appeal to all citizens, and especially to llcpuMi 'nns. who feel as we do that gold monometallism would he of lasting injury to the country, to act with us iu securing their election. After arguing the gold standard and its evils, setting L-rth the virtues of Mr. Uryau, the address concludes as follows: "Profoundly impressed with the importance ?>f the issues of this campaign, for ourselves and oe.r associates, we respectfully submit the foregoing to the candid consideration of the American people."

July 25.?Tho Populi platform, us reported by tho majority of tl Committee on Resolutions and adopted i tho convontioD, is as follows: Tho Teoplo's i?nrty, assembled in Nation Convention, ronfBnns its nllexinnco to tl priuolplcs declared by tho founders of tl Republic, and also to tho fundamental prii ciples of just government as (inundated i the platform of the party in 1892. Wo recoj uizo that, through tho connivance of tl present and preceding Administrations, tl country has reached a crisis in its Nation life, ns predicted in our declaration foi years ago, and that prompt and patriotic a tion is the supreme duty of tho hour. Wo realise that while we have political it dependence, our llnaueial and industrial ii dependence is yet to bo attained by resto Ing to our country tho Constitutional coi trol and exercise of tho fuuetious ncccssai to a people's Government, which funetioi have been basely surrendered bv our pubt servants to corporate monopolies. Tbo i lhioueo of European money changers h; been more potent in shaping legislation the tho voice of tho American people. Excci live power and patronage have been used i corrupt our Legislatures and defeat the wi of tho people, ami plutocracy lias there! been enthroned upon the ruins of D niocracy. To restore tho Government i tended by tho fathers, and for tho welfni nud prosperity of this and future genen tious, wo demand tho establishment of r economic and financial system which sha make us masters of our own affairs and iud pendent of European control, hy tho adoj tion of tho following: Declaration of l'rlnclplcs. 1. Wo detnnud a National money, safe an sound, issued by tho general GovernmGi only, without tho intervention of banks < issue, to be a full legal tender for all dcot public and private; a ju.-t, c<|uitublo ai efficient means of distribution direct to tl pooplo and through tiie lawful disbursi mcut> of tlio Government. 2. Wo demand the free nud unrostriotc coinage of silver ami gold at tho proses legal ratio of sixteen to one. without waitiu for tho consent of foreign Nations. 8. Wo demand the volume of eirculatin medium bo steadily Increased to an umoui sufficient to meet tho demands of tho bus itoss and population and to restore the ju level of prices of labor and production. 1. Wo denounce tho sale of bonds ami tl increase of the public iuterest-bcarlug del made by tho present Administration as ui uuvjir^Ttiry auu wiurmii .iuu;vi u\ ? l ihw, nil demand that uo more bonds be issued exoej by speeille act of Congress. 5. We demand such legislation ns will pr vent the demonetization of the lawful mom of tlm United States by private contract. P. Wo demand that tiio Government, i payment of its obligations, shall uso i option as to the kind of lawful money I which they are to bo paid, and we donouuc the present and preceding Administratis or surrendering this option to tna holders t 3nv. rniucnt obligations. 7. We demand a graduated income tax, I .he 01:?1 that aggregated wealth shall boar il iu-t proportion of taxation, and we regar In- recent decision of the Su| rente Court r ative to the Income Tax law as a misintei pre'.ation of the c institution and sin it vsi-io.u of tin* rightful powers of C'ougre.<ver the subject of taxation. s. Wo demand that postal savings banli be established bv the G .veiT.sv."nt for tli safe dopo.it of the savings ui t!: people an to fsteilitaie ex -hang *. Transportation. 1. Transportation being a reman* of oehsingo and a puldie necessity, the G veri meat should own an.' operate the railroa in tie- interest of the people and on a not partisan basis, to the end that all may be a< cordrd the same troatrnentin traasportatio: and that t he tyranny and i hlieal power no ex rei.-o l by the great raiiroad eorporatioi which re.-uit in the impairment, if not tl de-tru. ti< of the political right.- and pe souul liberties of the oilmen, may be d stroyed.
