The Goldwump,s Gospel.

The New York Evening Post is
free-trade organ, but it has recently
said that it would rather be the party
to pass ten Mckinley bills than one
silver bill such as was urged; and 1,
republican and a believer in the wis
dom of protection, tell you that would
rather give up the Mckinley bill and
pass the Mills bill, if for the exchange
l could have the present silver bill re-
pealed and silver treated like other
metals. In the next presidential cam
paign if | have to vote for a man in
favor of silver and protection, or for a
man in favor of the gold standard and
free-trade, l shall vote and work for
the latter, because my Judgement tells
me that even the tariff is not half so
important for the good of the conntry
as the maintenance of the highest
standard for the money of the people.

Review.

A Great Rlou.

The great Fort Worth anti-sub-treas-
ury meeting, whose proceedings we
published last week, was whale. 40
cording to some of the partisan papers,
1t was going to make the earth tremble
and utterly tear the alliance to pieces
and scatter it to the four winds. It was
well and extensively advertised through
these papers But with all the blowing
and rallying war-whoops, we are relia-
bly, informed that there were present
as participants in that meeting, Just
sixteen men-fourteen from Texas and
one from Missouri and one from Missis-
sippi. Why, one of the sub-treasury
boys of Texas could plant himself any
where on the plains of Texas, and with
one toot from rams horn rally more
friends of that measure in thirty MINI
utes than all this free advertising for
weeks brought to the Fort Worth meet
ing. By the way, it was claimed that
Gov. Tillman and Gov. Northen would
be there, but their names are not re-
corded on the list of the immortal six

out of them were undoubtedly thieves:

moderate, the fellows who CHARGE
