SILVER.
SILVER. ITS ENEMIES ACTIVE IN THEIR oP- POSITION. A New Conspiracy Hatched---The Warn ing Sonnded--The Secretary of the Treasury Arraigned--- the Danger Not Yet
 Over.
Silver Dollar.


 It was generally supposed espec- tally by the good-natured people or the west-that when the new silver bill was passed the conspiracy against silver would end. But in this, as well as in many other things, the west Is mistaken; for the animus of the gold bugs Is by no means exhausted. It Is true of the pass age of the silver bill that silver took on considerable of a rise, and when the first purchases were made 1t took a still fur ther riSe until 1t reached the figure of SL2l. This price was brief, because then the gold bugs made new combine against silver in New York and refused to either trade in the stuff as they call 1t, or to loan money upon 1t. Into this combine went a large number of the trust companies" many of the banks and some of the brokers. The result has been that silver, which is in reality one of the best securities, has been ''boycot- ted"-so to speak-and these conspiring monied institutions have loaned their money on all kinds of trashy stocks, own- cd and controlled by ciqUes, but with silver they have done everything in their power to destroy its value. The English conspirators of course have joined with those in New York and have marked the price of the white metal down in England. More than that, they have published and re-pubhshed all sorts of lies against sii- yer to fighten the ignorant and timid. Money has been made scarce, 1t has been stated no more silver was wanted for h. dla, that there were untold millions stacked up around the smelters, that Mex leo and the South American states were going to flood us with silver, that 1t is worth no more today than 1t was year ago, that the secretary of the treasury would buy when he pleased and as he pleased and at what price he pleased. No statement has been too audacious for this "cabaP against silver. No lie has been too been too monstrous to forge.
 Now, as an offset against the new con- spiracy, which in New York is so hydra headed. The Silver Dollar has this to say to the friends of silver in the United States and especially in the west and south. First, to the press of these sec- tions. Call attention to this new con- spiracy and arouse your people to action against it; for this new conspiracy not on- ly again robs the silver miners, but al- so the wheat and cotton growers. In fact there IS no interest that Is not damaged by 1t except the Shylocks, who are de- pressing all values in order to enrich themselves by their bonds, mortgages and loans. Second, the Silver Dollar would suggest to the banks and brokers of the west and south to make an investigation of these things for themselves in New York, and as custodians of the money and interests of the people in their section, to withdraw their accounts from every in stitution in New York that has thus con- spired against silver, and to place their monies and their business with banks and brokers friendly to silver. Third, the Silver Dollar would suggest to every friend of silver in the west and south to withdraw their accounts from every bank that continues to do business with insti- tutions in New York who are using their money and influence to destroy silver. The editor of the Silver Dollar has just spent several days in New York investi- gating this subject and consequently this report is not from hearsay.
 Secretary Windom seems also to be badly afflicted with the gold bug fever. He always had it and it is now chronic with him. He buys just as little silver
