against free silver coinage It was thought wise
to send man from the Third district who could
keep his eyes open when that issue comes up In
the house.
The Kansas City Star, June "a,
has more extended discussion Of
Che question, in which the tariff is de-
clSred to be the only issue between
the two old parties. 1t speaks as fol-
lows:
A careful comparison OF the two planks shows
that there Is no difference, practically speaking,
between the two great parties touching the sill
yer question. Both favor bimetalllsm, and each
insists upon an honest dollar, possessing pur-
chasing and debt-paying power equal to It's
force. This condition Of affairs furnishes cause
for COngratulstIOn, as revealing a prevailing
sentiment in this country hostile to financial In
flatlOn, and friendly to substantial currency.
There are advocates OF AatmOneyi In both parties,
but there Is nothing In the declaration OF prln-
ciples enunclated either at Minneapolis or at
Chicago to encourage the champions OF free and
unrestricted coinage. The sober, conservative
sense of the people is against wildcat money,
and history las too often proved the perils Of
imitation to justify itS practice by the most pros
porous nation on the globe.
There was more urgent demand, probably,
for recognition on the part OF the silver cham
piOns at Chicago than was apparent at Mime
apOlis, but concessions were as firmly denied by
the latter convention as by the arst. Both the
Democrats and Republicans fully appreciated
the prOprlety Of opposing policy which might
tend to disturb the business interests Of the
country, aud which involves possible chances
against the prosperity Of commerce that It
would be unwise to incur.
SO far, then, as this question Is concerned, the
two great parties are together, and the fight
turns wholly on the issue Of the tariff. IL will
be the only question considered In the canvass
and no subsidiary matter can be introduced
which will divert public attention from It's In
telIlgent and exhaustive discussion. That the
parties which reflect public opinion In America
are unanimous in the advocacy and support Of
honest money Is grateful commentary upon
the intelligence aud integrity of the people. A
sound conversion to saving belief in a clrculat-
ing medium Of intrinsic and exchaDgeable
value is long step In the direction Of national
but this must be followed up by the
equally important condition Of commercial free
dom, and there is reason to hope and believe
that the country is advancing rapidly toward
that blessed and desirable contamination.
In short the question Of finance is
to be suppressed by the united cry
for an "honest dollar" and tweedle-
dee and tweedle. dunn is to be the
only issue presented to the people.

BEFoREthe Wichita convention, the
Capital was profuse in its sarcastic
illusions to the list of candidates
whose names appeared in The ADvo-
CATE. The Capital of June 25th
shows quite a list of Republicans who
were willing to sacrifice themselves
in the service of the dear people.

THE TWINS,

Sec. z. We denOunce
the Republican leglsla-
tlOn known as the Sher-
man act of 1890, as a
cOwa rdly makeshlft,
iraught with pOssibili-
ties OF danger In the
future which should
make all Of It's support
ers,as well as It's author,
anxious for It's speedy
repeal; we hold TO the
use Of both gold and
silver as the standard
money OF the country,
and to the coinage Of
both gold aud silver
without discriminating
against either metal or
charge for mlntage. but
the dollar unit Of the
coinage Of both metals
must be Of equal intrln-
sic and eXChangeable
value, or be adjusted
through international
agreement or by such
safeguards Of legisla-
ti0n as shall insure the
maintalDance of the
parity Of the two met
ais, and the equal
power OF every dollar
at all times In the mar
kets and In payments
OF debts; and we de-
mand that all paper
currency shall be kept
at par with and re-
deemable In such coin; /;
we insist upon this
policy as especially nee
essary for the prOtec-
ton OF farmers and Ia
boring classes, as the
first and most defense
less victims Of unstable
money and fluctuating
currency.
The advocate., 1892-07-06

The American peO-
pie, from tradition and
interest, favor bimetal.
Ism, and the Republl-
can party demands the
use Of both gold and sill
YER as standard money,
with such restrictions
and under such prOVls-
ions, to be determined
by legislation, as will Sc
cure the maintenance
Of the parity Of values
Of the two metals, 30
that che purchasing and
debt paying power Of
the dollar, whether Of
silver, gold or paper,
shall be at all times
equal. The interests of
the producers Of the
country, It's farmers and
its W0rkiDgmen, de-
mand that every dollar,
paper or coin, issued by
the government shall
be as good as any other.
We commend the wise
and patriotic steps al
ready taken by our gov
ernment TO secure an
Int irrational confer
ence to adopt such
measures as win insure
a parity Of value be-
tween gold and silver
for use as money
throughout the cOun-

of Mr.. Carnegie, at Homestead, Penn
sylvsnis, as will be seen by dispatches
elsewhere published. Mr.. Csrnegie's
products are protected against COM
petition from foreign manufactures,
but his wage slaves are not protected
against the Hungarian pauper labor
imported to replace native Ameri-
cans.
Later dispatches June 19) indi-
cate a probability of trouble that may
prove of a serious character. The
following extract will convey some
idea of the situation:

will go to Youngstown, at which place 1t will

TROUBLE AT HOMESTEAD.
A special from Homestead, Pennsylvania, says
The intense feeling Of the workmen at the
Homestead steel works against Carnegie, which
has heretofore been well controlled, has at last
broken forth. To-day there were numerous hos
tile and exciting demonstrations on their part.
H. @. Frick. William Broom and several others
we're hanged in efigy from electric poles In the
mill yard. When James Dlnkey, chief Of the
electrical department. climbed the poles to cut
down the effigy Of Frick, the wOrkinRmen
turned one of the hose that had been prepared
IS defense for the plant upon him and caused
him to beat hasty retreat The figure was cut
down by Hungarian labOrer upon command Of
The yard master. AS he carried the figure
through the yard, he was met with boots and
eerS on every side.
William Broom, who was also hung In efiigy,
s chief Of the steel works police.
A number Of strange men, who 1t was feared
we're here to take the places Of Amalgamsted

In the face of such conditions as
these, what magnificent hypocrisy is
ihe following declaration of the re-
sent Minneapolis platform:
The Republican party has always been the
champion Of the oppressed and recognizes the
Ilgnity Of manhood, irrespective Of faith, color
IT nationality; 1t sympathlzeS with home rule in
Ireland, and protests against the persecution of
he Jews In Russia.
