sons had stretched hemp. We do not
know but a little medicine of this kind
might be beneficial in this case. The
masses Of the people do not want this
law; they love peace. The old soldier
does not want law that will cause a
disturbances; he has been to war; he
knows the hardships and wishes peace.
1t is the miserable conniving gold-bug
who wants war. He will not 60 out to
do battle. But he will steal your wife's
or your mothers last penny while you
are away, forced to fight your fellow
man and brother No, no. They are
not insane in this action. 1t is a we'll
studied plan. They are not fools, but
worse than devils.

Is That SO?

Through the columns of his singular
Iy pions newspaper, the New York Mail
and Express, Col. Elliot F. Shepard
says with clinched teeth and glaring
eyes:
.'Let the Lodge bill be passed and
signed rs soon as possible. Then let the
new rebellion break out as fiercely AS it
may; President Harrison will be ready
10 call out million of true and loyal
northern volunteers, and they will be
ready and willing to march at days
notice."
How large proportion of the sup
porters of this same Lodge bill is COM
posed of pestiferous nuisances and harm
ful cranks who indorse such stuff as the
above?
1t is a solemn thought that the bill is
just to Col. Shepard's liking. Is this
nation prepared to enact a law which
will make the occupants of bedlam howl
with glee?
1t is time for rebellion of common
sense to break out and direct legislation
into channels different from those which
excite hilarity in the office OF the New
York Mail and Express and other insane
asylums. Chicago Daily News, July %.
[Col. Shepard is not insane. He is we'll
aware of the effects of the Lodge bill
1t is an important part in the program
which Wall street has for the past twen-
ty-five years been carrying out. He is
doing just as the majority of our con-
gresamen and senators, and what are
termed our leading newspapers, are do
ing-playing into the hands of the mon
ey power. Col. Shepard is part of the
managing power of the Republican
party-the Republican party is the faith
er of our present corrupt and deviish
financial system, 1t is gold to them to

Sherman Resumes Command.

Senator Sherman has come to the
front since the conference silver bill
made its appearance. While the Repub-
licans were making their free coinage
bluff, Stewart, Jones and Teller had
most to say. Sherman WAS in the back
ground. His time had not come. The
western Republican senators were to be
allowed an opportunity for buncOmbe.
Sherman was aware of the secret agree
ment by which nearly all the Republic
ans had pledged themselves against free
coinage. He had seen Stewards and
Jones' names on that paper. In the
conference Sherman began to operate.
Some concession to public opinion was
necessary. That something is an appar-
ent increase of silver purchase. But
Sherman put hook into that concession
and gave the other end of strong
string to the secretary of the IL tleasury.
The bill as it stands is for the purchase
of silver bit not tor the maintenance of
a parity between gold and silver as mon
ey. 1t is bill to satisfy the silver pro-
ducers of Nevada and Colorado, but not
public demand for silver money. 1t is
not to satisfy the finance but manipula-
ton of silver rs Il comOdity. The secre-
tary of the treasury is endowed with
direction of the manipulation and will
undoubtedly discredit silver in every
way he can.
Sherman's emergence into the posi-
ton of sponsor and pusher of the con-
ference bill is in itself a notice that the
cunning efforts of the demOnetizers have
been successful. He is the chief demon
itizer. His name is inseparably con-
nected with the act of 1873. KnOwl-
edge that denomination has won VIC
tory in the conference could alone make
him the earnest worker for the bill he
has become. If the Republican sena-
tors who voted for free coinage had been
conscientious and firm there is scarcely
doubt that the house would have join
ed them. There was no sincerity in
their votes and speeches. They intend
ed perfidy at the very moment when
the free coinage amendment was passed.
Sherman resumes charge Of the Re-
publican financial policy. Public Opin-
ion OIL money il not represented any
more than 1t was in 1858 or 1873.
The western states have been holding
silver meetings and sending on petitions
for free coinage. How do they feel over
their Republican senators and represent
atives ?-EX.

from the treasury by keeping up this howl
of ballot stealtng) when Lee signed the
unconditional surrender" at the Ap-
pomattox court house. Peace was de-
ciared and the soldiers on either side
were told to 60 their homes and work TO
perpetuate union one and inseparable.
The masses of the. people have been and
are working toward a common brother
hood in which all men may be free and
equal. They now have a vast organiza-
ton working to this end which will
eventually triumph. This Goes not suit
the thieves of Wall street, and they
have prepared to make strong battle.
They have an army of trained soldiers,
equipped and ready for battle at 2 mo-
ment's notice, to march to the front.
Where, some will ask, is this sOldiery if
the laborers are so thoroughly organiz-
ed? will they fight for the money pow
er? No. You have these soldiers il.
almost all Of your towns. They are
styled the National Guards. Here in
this state you have the K. N. q. What
are they? State militia-almost, you
might say large and powerful stand
ing army. They must answer the call
of their "superiors. Under whose di-
rectiOn and at whose instigation was this
vast army organized? The leaders of
the dominant party for the past twenty
five years. This army is supplied with
guns, uniforms and camp fixtures, from
the public treasury, which is to-day in
the hands Of the money power. The
past goes to show what the army will be
used for-simply the subjugation of the
working people. Time and again has
this been proven. When the Cap
italist. wishes to fllch from his
employees he cuts down wages;
and when the laborer refuses to work at
the cut-dOwn the man of money tele-
graphs, "a riot. Send militia at once to
quell the rioters'--and the militia is i'm
mediately sent, and force the men back
to the shops at the cut rate. This scene
has been repeatedly enacted on our soil.
The party who instituted this "guard"
is i'm power to-day and is forcing upon
the people obnoxious sectional
laws laws intended to cause an uprising,
and then say "GO in lemons" 1--WE have
a million men to 60 out to fight" We do
not believe that the men who constitute
this army were aware that that they
would be used as a means of keeping
their fellowmen under the foot of the
money power, but they are under the d.
rection of party leaders who belong, soul
and body, to the money powers.
No, these men who are pushing this
Lodge bill through congress are not
fools, neither are they crazy. They are
worse chan that. The dew
lis i'm hell would not consider them fit
associates.
