FALSE DEMOCRACY

Congressman Springer, too, has drop

The s~ssilver craze" How well this
phrase fits the lips of the robber pluto
crat who would double the debts OF
the people. by destroying silver as a
money metal and make gold the stand
ard. How well it fits the lips of lesser
sinks whose chattering, like that of
the iackdaw, which, possessing the
power of %utterance, yet is devoid OF
intelligence enough to know why il
utters.
Ever since the adoption of the con-
stitution the democratic party has
been the champion of bimetallism, o.
silver and gold as the money metals
of the people. A democrat who re-
nounces this principle of his party:
faith is inlidel to its traditions, is &
traitor IN the democratic camp, i
recreant to the cause and interests O
the people.
A newspaper that claims to be demo
cratic, and then gets over on to repub'
lican ground for the purpose of stig'
matizing its party's advocacy of the
cause of bimetallism, as tina silver
craze, is either rep 'blican at heart OF

HILLS PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.

Senator Hills policy, which would
be all right with Hills loud mouthed
critics, had it been advanced by Grover
Cleveland, is very simple, very plain,
very easily carried out.
Mr.. Hill sees what is apparent to
all, to-wit: the impossibilIty of secur-
ing any legislation of a political
nature, except with the concurrence
of Il republican senate and II republi-
can chief executive. He does not be-
lieve that such legislation can be
carried through this congress by a
democratic house, the full benefit OF
which n be monopolized by the dem
ocratIc party for the uses of that party
against republicanism.
Mr.. Springer announced it AS his
policy to bring forward several reyis.
ionary tariff measures for the relief OF
the people. Let us take it for granted
that each and every such measure
shall be passed-what thenp Who will
get the credit and who will profit by
it? Undoubtedly the republican party,
for these fellows will go before the
country proclaiming that they did it.
and will prove their claim by showing
that where the relief bills only passed
through one democratic body it passed
through two republican bodies.
But both the Mckinley bills arc
republican measures. Both were en-.
dorsed by u republican senate anf

LIVING ON HILL.

Well, the boys will lie on David b.
Hill. But then that's a good sign, for
every mothers son of them has been
trimming his toe nails 81 that when
Grover Cleveland becomes president
each one will walk up to the slot, drop
in Il nickel and yank ont a p~ostoficr or
some other fat take.
The last fellow to jump on to poor
Mr.. Hill is the Columbia Herald, which
in its last issue says, that Hill is oppos-
ed to silver coinage and everything else
the west wants.
Now if the Herald had read all that
ID. Il. Hill said at Elmyra on the silver
coinage question, instead of what the
st. Louis Republic said he said, it need
not have made the stupid blunder it
did. Unless it wanted to; for verify
Mr.. Hill is not opposed to silver coin
age. Here is what he says and the
INTELLIGENCER prefers to take what he
says, IMAM W u "h"' "O'"' S"H"'
newspaper affair says he said:
ssFree bimetallic coinage is the N
thing needful.
1--WE pronounce for the free coinage
of gold, coupled with the free coinage
of silver; we denounce the Sherman
law as a false pretcnce and artful hind
rance of a return to free bimetallic
coinage.
'.Free coinage given to gold, while
free coinage was withdrawn from silver
in 1873, established the varying in
equality of the dollar in silver to the
dollar in gold. Free coinage given to
both, free bImetallic coinage, will re-
establish their ancient and unvarying
equality, attested by the mint, the
market and the crucible.
ssDid ever anything but free bimetal-
lie coinage down to 1873 make our
gold and silver dollars equal by every
test? Did ever free bimetallic coinage
down to 1873 for one hour fail to make
the silver dollar equal to the gold dol
lar, whether ut mint or crucible or in
any market in the wide world?"

"oing to India to buy cotton and
wheat, instead of coming to the United
! States, he makes IL clear profit of &c !
cents on every ounce of silver he takes
there.
Is it any wonder that the English
man BUYS his wheat and cotton in
India instead of the United States?
Is it any wonder that agriculture
languishes in thus country while this
condition exists?
Is it any wonder that Great Britain
insists on debasIng silver when its
debasement gives its merchants such
tremendous advantages?
But why in Gods name does any
American who has Il bit of patriotic
blood in his veins desire to aid Great
Britain in its damablc scheme to rob
American agriculture of its life?
Silver ought to be worth l29 cents
per ounce the world over, and would
be had it not been ~demonctized by
Germany and the United States. This
demonstration was in the interest of
the money power in these two coun-
tries, and in the interest of British
merchants in England who saw in it n
way 20 cripple, if not break down,
American agriculture, and build up
similar interests in India and other
British possessions.
The only remedy is a return TO hi
metallism, the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold.
BY free coinage, silver will at once
approximate its old value, just what
it is in India and China to-day, to-wit:
l29 cent per ounce, and British
merchants will not then be able to cut
American wheat and cotton down 36
per cent and rob American agriculture
of all its vitality.

KICK 1T.

There is a move on foot by sO-called
democrats to sing low on the silver
coinage question until an international
conference can be held.
In other words, tais, the leading
anti~King, anti-Imperial government OF
the world, the government which was set
up in the cause of human liberty and
on a different principle from all other
governments, and which has grown on
the idea of antagonism to all the other
governments, must call in representa-
tives from Kingdoms, Empires and
Gardens, from greater and lesser
m~onarchies, Grand Duchies and vice
roys, to instruct us in the proper way
Of managing our own momentary AZ
fairs.
We must ask Great Britain, who as
pires to be commercial master of the
world, and whose interest is ever and
at every point of the compass, in every
land, on every sea, completely at vari-
ance with and in competition with ours,
to advise us how to shape our money
policy.
We must ask Imperial Germany,
whose every instinct is m0narchial,
whose every governing principlci is that
of force, whose every idea of govern
ment is hat of the robbery and oppres-
sion of the masses by the privileged
classes, who hates Democracy and pop
ular rule, to come over here and show
us how to work out our fiscial prob
lens.
Norway, Sweden, Holland, SPAN
and Portugal, Italy and Autocratic
Russia, Roumania and Bulgaria, all of
whose people have never even dared to
dream of human liberty, much less as
sert it,-these must be invited to send
their brass buttoned and lace bedecked
jackasses here to tell us whether we
shall follow the lead of imperial Europe,
and by lessenlng the money supply,
establish and ~perpetuate the slavery of
the masses.
When our revolutionary forefathers
wanted to establish American Citizen
ship and free it from the thrall of
British tyranny, did they ask the adj
vice or consent of the crowned heads
of Europe? When they had won their
right to construct their own laws and
constitution and establish the AmerI-
can government, did they ask counsel
of the monarchs of the eastern hemis-
phere?
No they did not. But like brave and
worthy patriots, they plucked with
their own hands the fruits they had
won in camp and on the battlefield.
Are we not as able to take care of
ourselves as our ancestors? Then why
this cowardly and dastardly trucking
to the old world, whose highest hope
is to some day be apt to cripple our
power and humble our pride?
Kick such II measure as that. Kick
it so hard that your boot toe will g"
through and reach the towards that are
behind it..

HOW THE FARMER Is ROBBED.

Silver touched the lowest point it
has ever reached this week, the price
at which it sold in New York, being
81 !, cents per ounce.
This extremely low price for bar
silver should be an object lesson foI
every producer in the United states.
While silver Is selling in London
and New York at % - cents an ounce
it is current III India rt l29 cents per
ounce.
If the British merchant wants tG
buy wheat or cotton and comes To the
United States for his supply, the low
price in bar silver being the same hero
that 1t is in London, his silver here
brings him no more than he paid foI
it there.
But it is different if he goes to India.
In London he buys all the silver
he wants at 92is cents an ouHcc. This
silver, rs soon us he reaches Calcutta
