THE BEelNsiAU or Fnr END.

the last degree, Russia with its starqin,
 pessantry, and Bulgaria on its last legs
 and all this IS being brought about b,
 the enormous taxation that is wrun.
 from fhs people to keep up show O
 royalty, with it's kings, queens, princes
 lords. etc. aristocratic puppets who gc
 to make up the ruling classes of those
 countries and in addition 10 all this
 the immense armies of non workers
 that are kept in the field to protect
 theso rulers from being overthrown by
 the people, all of them without an ex-
 oeption are standing on the brink of n
 precipice, and one single outbreak is
 likely to bring about collapse.
 With this warning plainly in sight, it
 beheoyes the citizens of all republics to
 profit by their mistakes. In this coun-
 try, with all our boasted freedom, we
 are building up, faster than appears on
 the surface, class of rag barons, and
 other monopolistic sristocraoy who will
 in the end, if they have their way,
 bring about state of affairs similar to
 that which to-day is seen in monarchi-
 cal Europe. Political leaders of both
 parties in this country are doing their
 esst to educate the people iv the belief
 that they must obey the dictates of the
 gold bugs of the United States and
 Europe and consent to a debasement of
 silver and make gold single standard.
 And the people without giving a
 thought to the disastrous consequences
 that are sure to follow if they have their
 way, will go forth and vote for the
 very men who are determined 10 bring
 about this result
 The remoretizatien of silver would be the policy of the English people now. if they had a say and in this country 59,O00,0OO of the 6O,O0O, UOO inhah- itants would be benefited il our silver currency had not been tempered with
 by servile Congress for speculative
 purposes in overriding Art 3, See. 8, l of the Constitution of the United States. | which makes coin our only circulating medium, as it has been from the be- ginning of our national Efs, and so re-
 mains to-day, And the people not knowing their power, and who should
 be rulers in this country, allow this thing to go on from year to year with out attempting to pnt stop to it.
 It is high time to call halt before it IS too late, for if We do not, scenes will l be enacted in this free land similar to what is now taking place in the decay
 ing monarchies of Europe. The trend IS certainly in that direction, and it is necessary that the people should be zeade to understand t, and when they ( do, will call out as the Captain did, whsn his steamer was fast driving on to the shoals and quick sands, ''giye her Q { lick back, stop her '' and will throw off I the shackles of political thraldom, and t follow in the lead already set by Iowa t and Colorado and resolve that the gold | bugs and monopolists shall not be al- T lowed to have their way any longer. a When the people do this, no matter to what party they happen to rel.ng, q | better state of affairs will certainly fol- low. t
 'Fis true that decree of the Su- | prems Court of the United States. ir | violation of the Constitution above f quoted, declared "greenbacks' legal c lander, and in this connection, it is h proper to refer to the opinion of S Charles Sumner, Che successor of Dan si iel Webster in the Senate of the United p States, on the fallibilily of judicial h tribunals. Let me here say that I p hold judges and especially the Supreme n Court of the country, in much respect it but I am too familiar with the history of judicial proceedings to regard them i2 with any superstitious reverence. O Judges are but men, and in all ages n have shown full share of frailty ni Alas alas tho worst crimes of history ol nave been perpetrsted uuder their u 'anction It was indicial tribunal ol which condemned Socrates to drink the in atal hemlock, and compelled Calico ri o declare in solemn denial of the great ruth he had disclosed, that the earth th lid not move round the sun.
