The free coinage of silver is
ikelv to cut some figure in this
campaign. There are many who
would like to vote for Robson but
they are afraid of the money ques-
tion. We believe if they properly
understood the money issue they
would not only not be afraid of it,
but would endorse it. When the
present national constitution was
adopted gold and silver were the
two recognized money metals. The
first coinage act made the silver
dollar one hundred cents and made
it the unit of value. This hw pro-
vided for the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver.
We had the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver from the
beginning of the government until
1873. That is, any person who
owned either gold or silver bullion
could carry it to the mint and*
the government would coin it into
dollars for them free of charge. In
1873 silver was demonetized. After
.this date a person who owned sil-
ver bullion no longer had the right
to carry his silver to the mint and
have it coined into money at all.
But the person who owned golc
bullion could carry it to the gov-
ernment mints and have it coined
free and without limit. In other
words, we now have the free and
unlimited coinage of gold, but not
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
Now the position of the demo-
cratic party is that we are in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to one. We want silver and
gold to have the same rights at the
mints that they had from 1787 to
1873. Many people do not under-
stand what the ratio of sixteen
to one is. It is this: One
ounce of gold if equal in value to
sixteen ounces of silyer. If you
take a silver dollar and put it on
one end of the scales and take six-
teen gold dollars and put them in
the other end, the one dollar in
silver would equal in weight the
sixteen dollars in gold. Statistics

Said that the resolutions would be
voted down, so he declined to put
the resolutions before the people.
He then went around through th£
to sign
their names to the resolutions.
Some of the signers lived at Moul-

elsewhere, and a few at Moravia.

Haidusek anything except the an-
nouncement fee. If the charge
had a|y .truth ifc it Haidusek and
Gresham both would be particeps
criminis and incompetent to give
evidence. Mr. Gresham doubtless
told the truth when he said that he
had naver paid Haidusek anything.
Haidusek could say that Gresham
never paid him anything and tell
the truth. But Haidusek doesn't
say that he never received any-
truth and in fact, they were a few
sore-headed, discontented and dis-
gruntled marplots, who represent
no one, and who are not men, but
lot of political^ imbeciles, con-
trolled by Haidusek. The resolu-
tions bear the lie upon their face.
The intelligent and patriotic Bohe-
mians were against the resolutions.
They were cut and dried in La-
Grange, and in, this way they at-
tempted to boost Hawley's candi-
dacy by deceit and false represent-
ations. The Sticker gives the
praise to Frank Matula, Galia and
last, but not least, Judge Zdaril.
The Bohemians are against four
cent cotton. They believe all who
are in favor of four cent cotton
should vote for Hawley and all
who are opposed to four cent cot-
tan should vote for Robson.
It seems that Haidusek is in a
frenzy of indignation because some
oae told him that Judge Zdaril had
stated that Haidusek had received
six hundred dollars for working for
Gresham in 1892. It looks like
Haidusek has waited a long time
to get mad. For six long years
this has been a matter of public
rumor and Haidusek never saw fit
to deny it and for that reason many
people construed his silence to be
resolutions a tacit admission of the charge.
Judge Zdaril has been

that he gefs nothing from Hawley
except the announcement fee. We
will ask Haidusek to tell us in his
next issue all that he has gotten in
this campaign from all sources,
especially all that he has received
from Hawley and those working
for his election embracing what he
gets for the republican literature
which he has been paid with Haw-
lew money for printing. Make a
clean breast of the whole thing
Haidusek and let us know how
many pieces of silver you got and
then .go out and disembowel your-
self.
Prior to the Avar when the negro
worked and his white master got
all he made, we called it slavery.
Now when one section of the coun-
try is taxed to enrich another, or
when one man is taxed to enrich
another, the republicans call it
"protection." Things are not
changed by calling them by differ-
ent names. A father who will
make one child work for another
or take from one child to give to
another, is an unjust father. A
government that will take the earn-
ings of our citizens under the guise
of taxation and give it to others s
equally an unjust government. The
week, which purported at work for the democratic ticket,; republican party stands for this
principle and Hawley is its high
priest.

practices growing out of the war
omon the ratio between gold and against the theory of expansion
silver was that 141 ounces of silver
were equal in value to one ounce
of gold. This was practically the
ratio between gold and silver ever
since our government was founded.
The- democratic ^partV is m-f&vor of
the continuation of this ratio. The
democratic party is in favor of an
increase in the volume of money.
We want more woney than we now
have, because we need it. We are
opposed to the decrease of the vol-
ume Of money, because its effect is
to decrease the price of farm prod-
ucts and the products of iabor gen-
erally. Every man knows that
when you make "money scarce you
make the price of money higher.
The democratic party does not pro-
pose to alter the present size or
weight of the gold or silver dollar.
The democratic party stands for
an honest dollar, one that is worth
a hundred cents at all times and
under all circumstances. We be-
lieve that a dollar that is worth
less than it was when it was bor-
rowed is a dishonest dollar, and
for the same reason a dollar that is
worth more than it was when it was
borrowed is equally a dishonest
dollar. One robs the creditor*the
other robe the debtor. The one
hundred cent dollar hurts no one.
It is the two hundred cent dollar
or the fifty cent dollar fhat does
the harm. What we are troubled
with at present is the two and three
hundred cent dollar. When a far-
mer brings a bale of cotton to town
to sell it he is a buyer of dollars.
Now three or four years ago a bale
of cotton would buy fifty dollars.
Now the same bale of cotton will
only buy twenty-five dollars. SoAie
people will say that this shows that
cotton is going down. It is not so.
It is the price of the dollar going
up. In other words, it now takes
two dollars worth of cotton L> buy
a dollar in money, or twice as much
as it took four years ago. Now
when the farmer this year has ,to
give two bales of cotton to buy the
same amount of money that one
bale would buy four years ago, the
farmer is getting a two hundred
cent dollar. Those fellows who
nearly go into hysterics over a
fifty cent dollar never complain
when they are getting a two hun-
hred cent dollar. We stand for a
one hundred cent dollar, an honest
dollar, the doller of our daddies.
It is like the honest yard-stick—it
never gets longer uor shorter.

Hon. W. S. Robson, democratic
nominee for congress, has "com-
pleted his canvass of Austin county,
with the exception of a speech at
Shelby, which he will deliver next
Sunday.
Wherever he has spoken noth-
ing but the highest 'praise is left
behind him from his clean, gentle-
manly conduct of the canvass, and
the warmest admiration is given
him for the forcible, clear cut, con-
vincing arguments that he has made
of the various political issues that
are vexing us today, and which are
to be settled to some extent at the
coming election on November 8.
One thing to be regretted is that
he could not have been heard by
every voter in the county, but
withall his audiences everywhere
-have been appreciably large under
the circumstances and so great an
encouragement novv comes from
every corner of t-ho county, that a
big majority ovei h.s republican
opponent is as much a« assured.
Judge Robson has made some
telling blows against the protec-
tive tariff, against the corrupt
he is, the party would send their
man to congress beyond a doubt.
To question his honesty is simply
infamous as his thousands of
iriends of old Fayette will tell you.
And the worst of all w, that said
convention calls itself a Bohemian
convention, if such proceedings do
not tend to stir up race prejudice I
don't know what will. It is un-
American to array the citizens of
foreign extract against American
institutions. Hold citizen meet-
ings, but don't name them Bohe-
mian, etc. Every good citizen
must condemn your acts.

A Stupid /love. X I :
The Bohemians of Lavaca coun-
ty held a mass-meeting at Mor-
ravia where some of the most as-
tounding sleight-of-hand tricks
were performed. In solemn tones
they declare first, that they are
and always -have been the pillars
of the Democratic party, and in
the same breath they continue to
say that they must vote for Con-
gressman Hawley this year. Ab-
surd? Isn't it? If they really can
not vote for Judge Robson, the
nominee of the party they love so
well, they should, as good Demo-
crats, not vote at all for congress-
man. This in my opinion, should
satisfy their desire for revenge as
far as Judge Robson is concerned.
But to vote for the arch enemy of
Democracy, to do all in their pow-
er to defeat the Democratic party
(not Judge Robson) in the Tenth
District, and still proclaim them-
selves Democrats, is absurd, is
traitorous.
Why vote for Mr. Hawley, who
is the representative and exponent
of everything that is distasteful to
the democratic party? Why, 1
say, if you are democrats? Why
don't you simply refrain from vot-
ing, thereby satisfying yourselves
and at the same time not being
guilty of treason to your party?
Can your action be called any-
thing else?
The other accusations against
Judge Robson are puerile. Judge
Robson's mental capacities are
superior to any of those who par-
took in that convention and equal
to those of the brainiest man in
the district. His democracy is un-
questioned, he stands fairly and
squarely upon the Chicago plat-
form if certain democrats in La-
vaca eounty were as democratic as
