now being done in many States and
 Territories, and wiil in the near future,
 bs followed by all 5f thom that arc not
 the willing slaves oi the money barons
 of Wall street, New York, and Thread
 needle street, London The political
 dsmagoguCs who obeying the dictates
 of their masters the aristocrats of the
 quarters referred tu, are using the | power placed in thsir hands by their
 constituents to debase the solid cur
 rency of tho country, and thereby de-
 stroy all industries so as to give the
 monisd power the greater opportunity
 for further enslnving ths workers, but
 the people are awakening to the dan

 what they should have done before, cut

 Henry Clay once proposed n political | proposition to an associats "Tt will
 rum your prospects for the Presiden
 cy, |" said the man. Is it right?" said
 Clay. "Yes, was the answer; then
 came the magnificent sentence, q
 would rather be right than be Presi-

 hereafter as their interests dictate for
 DO man who will still persist in tramp ling on the rights of the great majority for the benefit of few wealthy aristo- crats, any one of whom would sell their
 birthright for money, if they had their

No, that is left for tGo people to do, and we know that 1t requires energy, hard work, good sense and money 10 accom- plish it and our need now is, to throw off these boldback party affiliations, and . go on with our building up and not allow the demagogues to pull all down, and level it with the dust to accomplish ! their selfish ends.
 Many will say, that we who live in Territory have no say in the internal af. fairs of the Government That is true, but We can at least show our willing ness to throw oG the yoke of whatever party we may happen to belong to, and let our co-workers in the States see that we are ready to stand with them, ns far as lies in our power, and that We are, although out on tho borders of civiliza- tion not iasensible Co the rights of the masses, and not so ignorant as to be dictated to by the would-be masters in Washington or tue gold bugs of New York, the bankers of America, and the tory party of England. There is dan ger ahead, and it bohooves every man that has the love of his country at heart to assist in diyerting it. Silver clubs should be formed in every camp, town and voting place in the Territory Globe has one with over loo members At Pioneer ever resident has joined and at Richmond Basin another one is being formed.

It is per fectly well known here that this hoard ed silver can't bO got into circulation The country will not have it, and tho more it increases tha less likely is it to It is held in reserve, per haps to be let loose disastrously some day at the bidding of an ignorant and rapacious majority"
 This vast amount of white coin is discriminated against by political chi. caTery in our own country, and Is held in "rssorve" instead of being paid out on the bonds of the U s. due in coin, which, according to Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution, is gold and silver. Congress in 1862 made grcenback notes a legal tender, and they passed as such until 1869, when the Supreme Court decided that the action of Congress was This decision was reversed in 1870 by @ par tisan court, and it was then admitted by Thaddeus Stevens, the great com { moner, that the Republicans were tray cling outside tbe Constitution" in order to save the government. During the life of Mir Lincoln, he also averred I that gold and silver were, under the | Constitution, the ouly legal currency " and Mir Chase, the Secretary of the Treasury, also maintained the same, and the Constitution has not been since amended, consequently the fupdimen- c .al law of the U.
