The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-01-31

The New York Herald think it sees
in the great conference Of Greenback-
ers and Silver Remonetizers in Wash
ington the other day, the birth of a
new party. God grant that it be so.
The Herald says:
There may come out Of the consul
tation a reorganization of parties,
which would range the soft money ad-
vocates on one side and the hard
money men on the other. In one
sense this would be desirable, for it
would help to clear the political at
mosphere and bring the financial ques-
tion into the prominence it deserves.
In snch an event we have no doubt
what the issue of the struggle would
be. An overwhelming majority of
the people are in favor of national
honor and honesty, and the sooner the
fact is conclusively lshown the better
will it be for the real interests and
prosperity of the country.
If national honor and honesty re-
quries that a debt contracted to be
paid in gold or silver shall be paid in
gold alone, then language has lost its
force. Let the issue be drawn on
that line. The old questions are all
dear and buried. Let the real issues
come to the front.

Senator Eaton, Of Connecticut, said
the othr day on the floor Of the L. s.
Senate:
"Wc have in the state of Connecti-
cut $50 100000 in savings banks secur-
ed by government bonds. In the city
of Hartford, with population of
$4,000 people, we have permanently
loaned in the West $500, 100000. No
city in the United States has larger
permanent loans in the West than
Hartford. We do not desire to re.
ceive % cents on the dollar in pay
ment of these loans.
Where did Connecticut get all that
wealth. She has no mines or farms
to amount to much. She made it of
the country. principally the West; by
getting Congress to enact laws, un,
der which she plunde us. And
now she has our mortgages for which
she gave us greenbacks worth IS or 8:
cts. on the dollar, and she considers il
great outrage to be obliged to take
her pay in silver worth, as Eaton says
o. cts. on the dollar. but really worth
% cts. And there are lots of our peo
pie who think honQr requires us to It,

1t is an interesting question, in
view Of the action of the grand jury,
whether Jerry McCarthy's influence
in electing Donnelly was as legitimate
as that exercised to secure his NOM
ination at Farmington.-Pioneer Press
If every vote of our majority in the
Sixth ward of st Paul was thrown out
as fraudulent we would still be elected
by a considerable majority in Dakota
county. We are inclined to think that
our good friend, Jerry. is the victim of
political persecution. What are the
charges against him! That he went
out occasionally and got glass of beer
during the election:-horrible offence
That he canvassed the voters while he
was thus outside in favor of some OF
his friends. Could anything be more
terrible And, finally. that when they
were counting the votes at the close
of the election nineteen votes were
found on the table near Jerry's elbow
which it was suspected Jerry INTENDED
to shore off the table acith said etbow!t
During the French revolution they
were in the habit of chopping off the
heads of worthy gentlemen on the
ground that they were ''suspected o
being snspicious.' But we never
before heard of indicting man for ;
crime which he might have intended
to intend to commit.
Poor Jerry! If he is to go to Jail fo
drinking beer, or electioneering, o
having tickets near his elbows. WI
much fear he will spend the rest of hi
life in the penitentiary.

There are now twenty-seven states
whose commissioners of Fisheries re-
ceive, hatch and distribute the eggs of
fishes furnished by the United States
Fish Commission. About 1900, 200
eggs of California salmon were thus
distributed in October. Congress has
appropriated $1,000 toward preparing
ponds near the Washington Monument
for breeding the carp, a European
species being. regarded as desirable
for introduction here. The Wiscon-
sin fish commissioners report large
amount of work. having hatched and
distributed 1.736.OO0 whitefish. and
smaller amounts of brook trout and

1t is a significant fact that rearly
all the governors who have this month
sent messages to the legislatures of
their states have something to say
about the necessity of increased ac-
commodations for the insane. state lu-
natic asylums being at present crowd
ed to their utmost capacity.-New
York Sun.
This simply means that the struggle
for existence has become so intensifi-
ed, through the operation of bad laws,
that the weaker natures break. Some
go into bankruptcy, some commit su-
icide, some are sent to Jail and some
are driven into insanity.
All this awful Catalogue of human
sufferings can be justly laid at the
door of the scoundrels who are running
the country with their villainous
financial legislation.

The Duluth Tribune, the great re-
ligious family jonrnal, has lost two
and but two subscribers, it says, "by
reason of the views expressed as to
the teachings Of the superstiti0ns Of
the mOss-cOvered clergy"
What is the use Of raising all these
issues about religion! The world is
bad enough now; what would it be If
you convinced all mankind that there
was neither God nor heaven nor hell
There are tens Of thousands Of devot-
ed men in all lands and all churches
who are giving the labors Of their
lives to making men honest and virtu-
GUS. What will be gained by sweep
ing them all away! Does Unbelief
propose to supply their places by .
new set Of workers. Not q bit Of it !
There can be no such workers unless
they are animated by divine cnthu-
siasm which only religion can give.
There has never been police-force
Of morals in the world unassociated
with some form Of religious belief.
The man who Intentionally makes
men morally worse than they are is an
enemy Of his kind. The man who
does this by indirection, by breaking
down human faith in all external
spiritual forces. is nearly as bad. A
nation without religion would be q
nation Of prostitutes and thieves.

following significant utterance from =

Yet, with these exalted views upon this

the man of toll to BIO a Democrat. The
specious argument of contractionists
that twenty five cents wages per day
and one dollar and fifty cents per day il
all the same to laborer, prices of goods
being correspoudingly reduced, would
make the laborer of to-day a laborel

in old age.
With the change in public sentiment

the near future With these, can we
not hope that the people may remain
free, sovereign and independent in the
