The expectation of gold from this
country to Europe, seems to have set
in in good earnest. Last week the
amount reached the large amount Of
$3,250,0OO. Whether it will continue
to keep going abroad at this week for
many weeks to come. or whether a
month or so will see the end of the
movement, no one pretends to know.
But our country is rich in gold and
silver at the present time, and can spare
$25, 100000 or more without feeling II

The east is the money loaning part OF
the United States, while the west is the
money borrowing portion. This is the
great cause of the great cry for free silver
throughout the west. The coinage of free
silver would reduce the purchasing power
of money, and enable the west to pay the
east in money, the purchasing power
which would be deprecated in proportion
to its increase per capita. This is what
many broadminded persons of both the
democratic and republican parties object
| to.
The above is from the Slater Rustler
and is answered by a few statistical facts.
In 1866 the government debt was
81, ,773, 1856, l73 go. In February of that
year wheat was worth 80 03 per bushel.
Had the debt been paid in wheat at the
ruling price, it would have required l.
366, 1876, 243 bushels to have paid it. At
the highest price wheat reached last
year it would have required 1867 ,S11,-
261, bushels-or nearly double the
quantity that would have been necessa-
ry to have liquidated the debt in 1865.
At the lowest price it would have taken
3,747, 7,616, ,443 bushels; or at the aver
age price during the year over $780,
00O,00 bushels.
But on the 1st day of last December

These figures express most alarm
ing rise in the purchasing power of the
dollar. Is il Just to the West to allow
that manipulation of the money supply
and 50 control it that its purchasing
power is constantly advancing?-for
when that power advances 10 per cent.
every debt is advanced 10 per cent.
Double the purchasing power of the
dollar and Won ut once double the debt
of every man in the country. The pur-
chasing power OF the dollar is already
far beyond what it was when the debts
were contracted. Ii is neither just
nor right to permit the creditor class
to heap burthcns upon those who owe
them. The debt of the government,
the debts of all the people are payable
in dollars of 412 = grains of silver $40

the creditor class, the number of grains
i'll that coin would be an outrage up %
per cent. of the American people, for
as you increase the silver in the dollar,
you take from the debtor class, who
does not owe it, and give to the credi-
tors, who are not entitled to it. If you
are determined to rob the people, do
it; but the INTELLIGENCER would sug-
gest that the Claude Duvall style is
much more to be admired than the one

SHALL IT BE DONE2

The wisest party policy is that which
will bring into the. folds of the party
the largest number of honest, intelli-
gent voters.
The democratic party is, as its name
implies, the party of the people; and
yet there are many people who are
democratic in sentiment, belief and
principle who are not of. and who do
not vote with the democratic party.
To bring all such under the party
standard, secure their aid, their SYM
pathy and their votes, is the first es-
sential to full success.
When one reads the declarations of
the Farmers Alliance, If he be true
democrat, he at once exclaims, "Why,
that is pretty much what / am driving
at myself" F" And the unprejudiced
man must confess that there is so much
in common between the Farmers Alli-
ance and the democratic party, that 1t
will require but little surrender of un-
essentials here and there to weld the
two into one.
1t is the same thing with the labor
organizations of our cities. The course
they are travelling brings them ulti-
mately to democracy.
True, there are many things advo-
Gated by these organizations that are
crude and unwise; and it is these crud-
tiles that make up the marks of dis
tinction between them and the demo-
cracy. There are some of the policies
advocated by the Farmers Alliance
that democrats do not endorse, such as
the "sub-treasury scheme, " for instance
but upon almost all other issues the

DOWN WITH THE MAFIA.

The time has come when Americans
must protect American law, American
property and American life.
The New Orleans Malta has forfeited
its life if it was ever fit to live. Every
assassin that shed the blood of the la
mented Hennessey, every conspirator
that urged the deed, every sympathizer
that upholds the conspiracy and the
deed, deserves only to be hung, shot
down or driven into the sea.
Down with the Malta!
Down with this insolent band of alien
cut-throats, this oath-bound society of
midnight assassins, this under-crust of
villalnous lazzaroni.
Down with the Malta!
This society has no respect for our
laws. 1t has no sympathy with our gov
ernment. 1t has nothing in common with
American citizenship. Its murders,
whether committed upon its hereditary
enemies, or upon those who have incur
red It's displeasures here, alike call for
its condemnation, punishment and over
throw.
No feeling can be too strong against
this band of secret assassins that mena-
ces life in New Orleans and brutally
struck down its chief of police.
Such an organization rs the Malta,
such vendettas rs that of the Provenzen-
os and Matrangas, such diabolical and
fiendish conspiracies as these Italian
desperadoes are guilty of, are dangers
to society, foes to law and order, and
are not to be tolerated in any American
community. They cannot be too quick
ly, too thoroughly nor too ruthlessly
stamped out.
If the law cannot be made to reach
them, ii they are to have the opportu-
nifty of corrupting or intimidating juries,
the people, whose will is the supreme
law in this country, must invoke n
tribunal that the Malta can neither bribe
nor frighten from its duty.
Down with the Malta!

party and the Alliance are in full ac

party and the Alliance are in full ac-
cord.
The INTELLIGENCER believes that by
pursuing proper course, by fully un-
derstanding the wants of the people as
expressed by Farmers Alliance resolu-
tions, and labor federation demands,
and meeting these as far as wisdom
sanctions the act, that these two great
organizations may be secured as valua-
BILE allies of the party or brought bodily
into the party fold.
1t is not necessary that the party
sacrifice any of its principles-for none
of these cross the interests of the masses
1t is not necessary to surrender any OF
its convictions-for these run parallel
with the welfare of the people. 1t is
not called upon to turn back upon its
record, for there is nothing in that
which menaces the public veal.
But the party needs the aid and sup
port of these great organizations, and
upon strict democratic platform en-
bodying all the principles, ideas and
issues that distinguish democracy from
plutocracy or monied aristocracy, il
will get it. 1t will get this aid in Kan
sas, in Iowa, in Illinois, and Minnesota
in Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska, Col
orado, Nevada and Montana. With
such platform it will sweep the north
west, carry the west by storm and hold
the south and center.
And yet with a million pro-democrats
awaiting to be assured that the demo-
cratic party intends to be democratic,
true, honest and sincere in deed as well
as declaration, to come to its aid, the
party is asked to hide away one of its
leading issues and most vital doctrines !;
put out of sight principle engrafted
upon it the day the constitution was
written; obliterate the brightest part
in its history in order that few doc
tors of Wall street finance be appeased.

WHAT is THE MATTER2

What is the matter with business?
General depression prevails everywhere.
No section of the union is free from
the wet blanket of hard times and slow
trade. East, west, north, south alike
suffer from the lowest business condi-
tion they have felt for years. Stocks
are down, provisions are lifeless. Corn
and wheat are dull, cattle and hogs q
drug, with bacon and lard almost dead
on the owners hands. The mercantile
world is almost fiat. Merchants stand
idle at their desks, salesmen and sales
women longingly await the coming of
customers who do not come. Manu-
factories are idle. Operators are out
of work. Mines are being worked half
time or not working at all. A stagna-
ton worse than an Egyption plague
lays all over the land.
What is the matter?
A short time ago the trade doctors
predicted better time coming. They
said that business was dull because the
business men were afraid of injudicious
financial legislation by congress. Then
they said the trade centers were fear
full least the whole world of business,
speculative markets and all, would be
upset by the passage or some sort of
silver coinage bill. But congress flat
tened out the Vest coinage bill, and
settled that question. Then they said
business was awaiting the adjournment
of congress. After u while that body
adjourned, but in business there is still
no Improvement.
The fact is that, stimulated by hope
that the Vest bill would be passed and
that Mr.. Harrison would not be such
stubborn dolt as to refuse to sign it,
there was a temporary revival of bust
ness. Then that hope was killed and
business is duller than ever.
There is considerable money in the
bank vaults of New York and New
England capitalists but precious little
in circulation, and business is starving
for the money necessary to put its
wheels in motion.

had been convinced that this paper had

his customer to the press room, showed
him the INTELLIaENCER's facilities for
making a. newspaper and turning out
first-class job work, and then asked him
to take look at the pile of papers wet
down for this weeks issue. The manager
also explained that while he is not making
any blow over gold medals, taken in con-
tests for best displays of Job printing, that
he holds at this time the Snider & Holmes

of fine job work, the highest award ever
made by the Missouri Press Association.
Besides this he secured four others which

ed before the public. The gentleman went

Goose Pond Again.

A special meeting of the council was
held at the council chamber Thursday
night, to take action concerning the de-
plorable condition OF the culvert at what

The meeting was called to order at SIZE

purpose the special meeting was called.

empowered to proceed with the work. The
motion prevailed, and Goose pond will be
