Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-25

AFTER a silence of many years, the
bright, talented but radically partisan
and vindictive George G. Gorham, has
just made his appearance before the
public in a philippe against General
Wolseley, because he ventured to criti-
else some of our war generals and to
speak disparagingly of Secretary Stan
toms treatment of General Sherman on
certain memorable occasions. General
Grant makes mention of the fact in his
memoirs that Sherman refused STAN
toms extended hand on very public
occasion because of his conduct towards
him. Gorham slashes into Lord Wolse-
ley in his characteristic sharp and in
cisive style, and will without doubt call
out rejoinder from that military critic.
George wields sharp and trenchant
pen when he enters the field of contro-
versy, and wherever there is weak
place in the armor of his antagonist he
is sure to find it out and send his pen
into it up to the hilt, so to speak.

care to carry sensational events in their
memory. And SO of hundreds OF other
transactions.
These peculiar tactics of the manage
ment of corporations have been kept up
untila prodigious mass ofsecurities OF all
kinds exist upon which interest has to
be paid, Added to all are the innum-
erable debts OF the nation. states, coun-
ties, cities and minor municipalities, all
of which call for interest annually.
And yet it is at this time that we see'
determined policy which aims to re-
strict our circulating medium. AS the
masses OF debentures upon which the
people have to pay interest pile up the
means OF paying them shrink. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that one-half of the
mass of these securities, if not a larger
proportion, is held in the three cities OF
New York (including Brooklynl, Boston
and Philadelphia. If the circulating
medium is thus kept low, it gives mar
row strip of country on the Atlantic
coast a gripping and crushing mortgage
on the energies, industries and happi-
ness of the whole people of the United
States.
In the facts briefly recapitulated there
is an irresistible argument for the real
reconciliation of silver and for the ex-
pansion of the currency. The people of
the United States are today suffering a
worse than feudal oppression through
this peculiar financial hocus-pocus,
which practically makes them hewers
of wood and drawers of water to the
moneyed nabobs. The westerners have
not realized this fact until of late. Now
they know it, and they are determined
on a remedy.

MoREToN FREwEN, one Of the most
noted political economists of England.
and eminent as one of the foremost BIZ
metallists of that country, has written a
letter to Mr.. Barrons in which he pays
high compliment to that gentleman s

OF the leading economists of his country
upon the silver question, and expresses
astonishment at the number of expert
enced writers and thinkers in America
who know how to treat that subject.
He says: Here we have few bright
minds-men who write as brightly on
the,subject as is possible when dealing
with questions of admitted complexity,
but the reading public as yet does not

CHIEF OF POLICE GLASS made state
ment before the board of police COM
missioners yesterday which is altogether
without foundation. He assumes that
the HERALD has spite against him.
As matter of fact, spite is never al
lowed to figure in this journal. 1t is
absolutely and stainlessly impersonal.
The greatest enemies its controllers
have in the world are always sure of
perfect fair play and a hearing in its
columns. Chief Glass labors under the
impression that the letters devoted to
structures of the administration of his
department which have appeared in the
HERALD were written in this Office.
This is the height of absurdity,
and it has a decidedly rustic flavor.
Any citizen who writes tenn
perately about any subject can
obtain a hearing in the columns of
the HERALD, including Chief Glass
himself or any member of the force un-
der his command. Our only restric-

AS counter-blast against the enthu-
siasm-or simulated enthusiasm-of the
Republicans in Ohio, the Democrats of
Iowa met yesterday. They re-nomi-
mated Boies for governor, adopted plat
form bristling with devotion to the free
coinage of silver, denounced Mckinley
and all his evil ways and declared for
the election OF United States senators
by the people. Now let the band play
and the Republican Whangdoodle pre-
pare to meet the grand Democratic Guy
asticutis, with fair field and no favor
and it will be only Boies play to lay out
the demonstrating party of all the
decency and all the morality. The en-
thusiasm ran at food tide and the
Democracy have blood in their eye. If
we can capture Ohio and Iowa this fall
the party will be encouraged to begin
campaign of intelligence to capture even
Vermont-which Stephen A. Douglas
characterized as good state to emigrate
from-for the presidential column of
