il is the policy Of Wall Street TO re-
fund the greenbacks by the issue Of
interest bearing bonds. The late
bankers convention at Kansas City
pronounced this the only weak feat
ure Of our monetary system.
Section 3 provides for the discon-
tinuance of the silver dollar after
July, 1891. As the silver certificates
are redeemable in gold at the discre-
tion Of the secretary OF Che treasury,
no coinage Of silver will be longer
necessary"
Section 5 repeals the law requiring
the coinage Of from two to four mil
lions Of dollars per month at the dis
erection Of the secretary Of the treas
ury, and under which the minimum
amount has been coined since the pas
sage Of the law in 1878.
Silver is therefore, by this act, alb
solutely demonetized, it's coinage
the certificates to be issued
on the basis of the bullion purchased
is a legal tender only when the money
power chooses to permit it TO be 80,
and there is no guarantee that the
currency Of the country will be in
creased a single dollar by the opera
tion Of the act.
Such is the boosted silver bill that
the present Congress has given us in
TO the demand for free coin
agej and then they have the gall totell
us that it is a step toward free coin
age and is the best that they could
do at this session; but if we will only
send them back once more they will
do wonderful things for us next time.
How many fools are there in Kansas
who will take them at their word?
We ask our readers to study the text
Of the the act and see if we have mis-
interpreted It's import

ANOTHER FRATERNAL GREETING FROM
THE SOUTH.
EAST LAKE, ALA., August 2s.

EAST LAKE, ALA, August 28.
EDITOR ADv0oATE:-At the close Of very
able speech by Col H. l.. Polk before our state
alliance, giving an account of his late trip
through the great Northwest, and bringing TO us
the glad announcement that you, OF the west,
had determined to break down sectlOnalsm,
offered the enclosed resolution which was unani-
mously adopted by rising vote. Col. Polk asked
me to send IL to you.
RcsolUcd, That we send greeting TO our breth-
rem OF the great Northwest and say to them,
hold the fort Tor we are coming, leaving behind
us the dead past and looking to the living future
The above is the third of these fra
ternal greetings from southern states
called out by the reception given to
Col. Polk on the occasion Of his re-
cent visit to Kansas. The south is as
ready as the west to wipe out the SEC
tionalism that has kept us divided for
80 many years, and to unite for the
advancement of our common inter
ests. All hail the day when this shall
become an accomplished fact "Let
us have peace"
The advocate., 1890-09-10
THE NEW SILVER BILL.

publican press concerning the mag
nanimous act OF the present Congress
in giving us the silver bill, that we
this week publish the full text Of the
bill, and invite the attention Of our
readers TO some Of lbs provisions.
Section provides for the purchase
Of 45O0OO0 aggregate ounces Of sll-
YER bullion in each month, "0r so
much thereof as mag be offered, at
the market value thereof, not exceed
ing 81, for 371 25-1OO grains Of pure
silver"
We suggest chat there are several
contingencies that may prevent the
"OGerinG' 10 the secretary of the
treasury Of any great amount Of sill
yer bullion per month, and il will be
observed that il is provided that he
is not to pay more than 81 for each
371 25-lO0 grains.
We have only to turn our attention
for a moment to the operations Of the
grain gamblers TO learn what may be
done by the bullion gamblers Of Wall
street, by the manipulations of tho
bulls and bears Of the grain market
millions of bushels Of grain are sold
on paper that never had any exis-
tence in reality, and no necessity OK
lists in these operations for the actual
transfer Of a single bushel. Yet these
fictitious sales control the prices Of
the world. How simple a matter it
becomes for the gold-bugs Of Wall
street, by a similar manipulation Of
the silver market, TO keep tho market
price Of bullion above S1 for 371 25-100I
grains and yet never actually handle
a single dollar OF it. When this is
done it's purchase by the secretary OF
the treasury is prohibited by the act,
Again, it is provided by this section
that the secretary of the treasury shall
issue, in payment Of such silver bul
lion as may be Offered y treasury
notes Of the United States Sin such
form, and in such denominations, not
less than 81 nor more than $1,000, as
he mag prescribe. The denomind-
tiOHs Of the treasury notes are en-
tirely discretionary with the secretary
Of the treasury. Now with a secro-
tary Of the treasury taken from Wall
street, as all of them are, no matter
which Of the old parties is in power,
we leave our readers to conjecture
what proportion Of these notes will
be Of the denominations Of one, two,
Eve, ten and twenty dollars, and what
proportion of them will be of five
hundred and one thousand dollars.
Knowing the antagonism Of Wall
street to any expansion Of our cur
rency, and knowing how completely
the secretary Of the treasury is sub
jeCt 10 the dictation Of Wall street,
this will not be difficult conjecture.
Section 2 provides that these treas
ury notes "shall be redeemable on de-
nsnd in coin at the treasury Of the
United States or at the Office uf any

THE PARTISAN PRESS.

ers to resolutions that are being
adopted by several Of the alliances in
reference to alliance patronage to che
old party press, and we would sug-
gest the eminent propriety Of the
policy therein proposed. Since the
alliance movement has become for
midable many of the leading republi-
can journals have pursued a course
Of persistent and malicious falsifca-
ton and misrepresentation Of itsprin-
ciples, OF it's purposes and Of it's lead
ers. This has not been done through
ignorance. IL is a deliberate exem-
plifcatlon Of the Ingalls, maxim-"it
is lawful to deceive" Realizing this
fact we are unable to see why mem
bers Of the alliance or any Of it's kim
dred industrial organizations should
continue TO sustain these papers.
Why should our people continue to
pay for the enemy's ammunition? In
presenting this subject to the thought
ful consideration Of our readers we
would not be understood as opposing
the reading Of republican or demo-
cratic papers. Every intelligent man
and woman, in order to be we'll in
formed and competent to exercise a
just judgment upon the political is
sues of the day, should read all sides,
and we would especially commend
this course. 1t is not necessary, how
ever in order to do this TO patronize
such papers as pursue this policy Of
persistent Misrepresentation and
abuse. Happily the entire press is
not yet thus depraved. There are a
few leading republican journals that
while firmly adhering to the party
are yet above these depraved meth
ods. We would especially commend
the Emporia Republican, the Atchi-
son Champion and the Hutchinson
NelUs as of this class The Nelcs has
had few lapses, but Mr., Easley
explains that these slipped in during
his absence, and we are willing to
accept his apology. We not speak
of these journals because we approve
Of their political creeds any more
than the others; but because they
have different political methods. They
still have a little self-respect. In
their columns may be found a fair
presentation Of the republican side of
the campaign without quite the asper-
sion of private character or misrepre-
sentation of the purposes and motives
of those who oppose them.
The democratic press as a rule has
treated our movement with far more
fairness than that Of the republican
party, and we have not therefore the
same reason to speak in disparage-
ment Of it's support The thought we
desire to impress upon our readers is
the propriety Of discrimination
against all papers of any party that
maliciously persist in misrepresenting
our movement and traducing the
character of our leaders; and we rec
ommen6 this thouOht In the favorable
