be visible. but think they can be
seen as far south as St. Louis. Mo
These electric storms will continue

In the pocket is inconvenient and i'm
practicable. The capitalists who deal
in money oppose this because they
wish to demOnetise silver, and then
the gold coin will be subject to their
control. If their interest must be paid
wholly in gold, and no other coin
known as money except subsidy or
"taken" money, then it is in their
power to depress the wages of labor and
the price of products and real estate,

much more than it will at present
This system would increase the pur-

the volume of their wealth measured

The west is pushing the Sherman

In his recent speech. thanking the
members Of the legislature for re-
electing him to the U. S. Senate, Mr..
German said:
II hope, in concluding. that may

stituencies for the cordial good feel

This language implies that the di-
rect purpose of the elections in
Maryland was to elect Mr.. German to
the Senate. That the whole popula-
ton had no other motive for holding
an election. When American citi-
zens hear one of their rublic men
using such language. they ought to
consult glass and ascei tain if they
still retain the image of men.
