The Baltimore Sun in discussing
the pros and cons of the silver bill,
cites several reasons to account for
the silence of the free coinage OPP
ponents in the senate, but strangely
enough never mentions the main
cause, which is they heard what the
people said on the question last Nov
ember They made an argument sena-
tors had rather not buck against.
And the president will sign the bill
when it passes. He has heard the
peoples argument too.
"Recollections Of General Grant, T"
a pleasant little book to read. written
and published by Geo. w. Childs the
philanthropist publisher of the Phila
delphia Ledger. This little book
throws many side liehts on the plain
inostentaitous character of the great
general. The book not only reveals
the plain, honest American citizen
that General Grant was, but also
reveals the chief source of Mr.. Childs'
hap iness and ambition which is
nothing more or less than striving to
make other people feel happy. All
unwittingly Mr.. Childs while faithful
| ly photographing the great generals
true character the camera is casting
his own on the plate.
The appeal says:-"Tf the object
Of the Farmers Alliance is to get
clear of taxation and have laws en-
acted that will make it's members
rich. we are sorry to inform them
that they will never succeed"

g not their object. One of their
objects is to try and find out how
bankers and some other people get
rich and telleverybody the secret.
