congress TO vote for the free coinage of sill
YER and also the killing Of the uniform text
book bill during the called session by the
same men who passed it one year ago by a
practically unanimous vote, was the straw
that broke Che Camel's back and closed the
last door Of hope outside Of apolitiCal union
with the northwest, which has been effected,
and their actions have welded them so SOL
idly that it will be impossible to disrupt 10.
Men like myself who have grown gray in
the ranks of the Democratic party held on
as long as there was one ray Of hope. It
was like pulling eye teeth to turn loose. It
was like leaving home, wife and children
forever, but when the issue narrowed down
to bowing IN submission to the tyrannical
exactions of the northeast or to pull out of
the ranks and work and vote for our consti-
tutional rights, we chose to stand by our
rights and those of our posterity by form
ing an alliance with the northwest, whose
every interest is identical with ours, and
who have stepped upon the platform chat
we ourselves substantially wrote. The bat
tie is going to be long and bitter one. We
have not acted without counting the cost.
We are prepared for the worst. We are
fighting for every blessing that freedom
gives and against the curse that slavery en-
tails. We war not for place nor profit, but
for clear-cut principles that are just and
honorable, and for reforms that must be
had if a republican form of government
survives. The joint debates had during the
last year convinced every unpreiudioed
mind who heard them that our demands
are eminently necessary; that they are con-
StitutiOnal and perfectly practical, and if
enacted into laws will forever destroy the
power Of money to Oppress. We believe, in
fact, we know, that the constitution of the
United States delegates to congress the ex-
elusive power to coin money and regulate
the value thereof, and that this right carries
with it the moral and legal duty on the part
Of congress to issue sufficient money TO do
the business of the country upon Oonserv-
stive cash basis. Il naturally follows that it
is obligatory on congress to devise ways and
means TO put that money into the channels
Of trade without the chances of speculation
upon il by any class, and without favorit-
ism. We know that congress has persist
emily refused TO discharge its duty in this
all important matter, and we are satisfied il
has been constrained TO ignore this plain duty
through the bulldozing methods of Wall
street and the usurers of the northeast.
Just 80 long as the people hold to the DEM
ocratic or Republican parties as now manip-
ulated by the northeast, just 80 long will the
wholesale spoliation Of the south and north
west continue. If not stopped, New Eng
land and her European accomplices will
absorb the property of the nation, which
cannot and will not be tolerated by free
men. The effort to sidetrack the money
question will prove futile. The people thor
ouehly understand that the relative amount
Of money in circulation to the demand for
its use puts down the price on labor and it's
product. They know that scarce money
The advocate., 1892-05-04

means hard times and idle people, and that
plenty Of money brings with il high wages,
good. times and employment for all, and
consequently prosperity and happiness.
They understand that money has the same
effect upon civilization that blood has upon
the human system, The member Of con-
gress standing for reelection or the Candi-
date for congress who advises the people to
stick TO the Democratic or Republican ma
chine as now adjusted is going to have
rocky road to travel except in the New Eng
land states, and in some Of these they will
not have walk-over. For the first time
since 1860 they have to defend their
record and the methods Of their party man
ayers. Any effort to arouse sectional hate will
be failure. The force bill argument will be
laughed TO sCOrn, for il is we'll known fact
that the force bill met its death at the
hands Of the reform movement in the
north and west and that the united labor
organizations officiated at itS funeral at
Ocala. The old partisan leaders will soon
learn that the people have been using their
heads, as we'll as their hands, and that they
no longer accept their sermons for gospel
without proof. They are now perfectly
competent to sift testimony and separate
bunCombe from facts. Old isms are being
rapidly discarded, sectional prejudice is a
thing of the past, and the people of the
south much prefer political alliance with
the northwest to submission TO the dictum
Of the goldbuRs of the northeast. Party
creeds are moth eaten; old sectional walls
are Orumbling to pieces under the rays OF
increasing political knowledge. The peo-
pie no longer fear to speak and act. The
reform press has sown the seed in good
ground, and it has brought forth an indie
pendent press, free speech, free thought,
and all are fearless, aggressive and manly.
The common people no longer squirm
under the sting of the party lash, and sneak
into line at the bidding Of the party boss,
but with head erect and brow undaunted,
they ask boldly why these unjust conditions
exist, and who is responsible for them.
They will not down at any mans bidding.
They are determined to move straight
ahead and will have q direct answer. He
who expects the votes Of the people must
advocate government Of the people, by
the people and for the people, and must
state plainly that he is in favor of congress
discharging it's constitutional duty to the
people in all things, and especially that Of
finance. The people no longer ask if this
or that is 30, but why is IL 30? They viii
have the truth Of the matter or leave the
candidate out in the cold on election day.
They are now marching to headquarters to
know upon what authority and under what
influence flfty-one northeastern Democrats
bulldozed 174 other Democrats into
killing free coinage of silver. Among
the questions that win be asked aspirants to
congressional honors may be enumerated
the following: How many tramps are there

INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT IN TEXAS.
SINGING UNDER THE DEFEAT OF
FREE SILVER COINAGE,

Harry Tracy Says Political Revolution
Is Going ON Which VIII Become a
Power In Politics.
A NeWs reporter yesterday interviewed
Harry Tracy on the progress of the inde.
pendent political movement. Tracy pro-
ceeded to outline its progress and the
conditions which brought 1t about as fol-
lows:
The Independents are organizing with un-
preCedented rapidity and in good numbers.
We already have S39 clubs reported, and
each day the number increases. These clubs
cover 14S counties. Nothing like it has ever
transpired in this country. The movement
is general throughout the state, over 200 new
clubs having been organized and reported
since the Dallas conference held the 11th of
April. The public may rest assured that
this revolt means business. The class of
men enlisting in the independent ranks are
solid citizens of every trade and profession;
they are made of that kind of stuff that
never moves till compelled, but when they
do move it is permanent and for just cause.
The partisan msnipulators who are alone
responsible for this detection will live to
rue the day when they forced the people to
repudiate machine methods, and when it is
too late they will wish they had paid more
attention to the demands of the people, and
had been governed less by the money mon
gers and selfish interests. The people of this
country have decided that the only way to
secure needed reforms is TO vote for them,
and the easiest way to down arrogant party
bossism is TO build new party based upon
principles formulated by themselves, and
leave the old timers to run the machine
without aid or assistance. Judging from
the manner in which they are taking hold
they are going to succeed. II would be a
fatal mistake to judge this movement by
any previous one, for this, unlike the others,
is based upon sound economic principles as
old as Jeffersonian Republicanism itself.
They have been discussed for years by those
who believed that we must have economic
reforms. II has been an accepted theory,
especially in the south, that the Democratic
party would grant the reforms demanded.
Congressman, in debating these demands on
the stump and through the press during the
past year, begged the people to hold onto
the party little longer, affirming that the
lower house Of the Fifty-seCOnd congress
would be sure to give the people substantial
reform. This promise was accepted without
question by the people, until they saw fifty
one New England, New York and Psnnsyl-
vania Democrats bulldoze 174 southern and
western Democrats into defeating the free
coinage Of silver, when nearly avery one Of
them we're pledged to support il. This ac-
ton on the part of the lower house Of con-
gress, coupled with the acts of our own

FISH STORY FROM THE COAST

A Washington Man Hauls Ont
Perforated Rock and Six Ca
naPies."
A peculiar kind of shellfsh. the like
of which has never been seen on the
sound, was fished out of 200 feet of
water near Five-Mile point, Seattle, a
few days ago by rock cod fisherman.
The man felt tug al his line and be-
gan pulling in. Judging from the
weight. he concluded that he must have
caught the grandfather of all the rock
cod in the sound. When he had taken
in all of lis line he was astOnished to
find that he had not only landed a splen-
did five-and-a-half-pound cod, but also a
rock full of perforations. TO which
were attached six lively she'll
fish, each as big as ones fist
and somewhat resembling gigantic mus
sells. The shells of the fish were i'm
bedded in the rock, and as soon as the
rock was taken out of the water lhe fish
craned their long necks out of the shells
just as turtle would. The necks of
the fish were unlike anything the fish
ermen had ever seen; they resembled
slightly the yellow mouth of the lam
prey eel. Their mouths were pointed
and surmounted by hard, brown. col
ored beak, which they opened and shut
precisely as robin does. The fish
and their abode were held together
by means of the stout roots of sea-
weed which had ground around them,
and, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says.
the whole weighed eight aud a half
pounds. The fishermen took the Curl
osity to the Denver market, and there it
was placed on exhibition and attracted
considerable attention. In the absence
of a more scientific name one of the
men connected with the market named
the si1ellfish ''sea caiIarieS."

While the Roman of the Augustan
age had often a cultivated and even
critical taste in matters of art, says

much more limited. Those grander
scenes and phenomena of the
outer world which are so thrill

did love intensely, and such he would
have about his country home, or if,
like Atticus, he were rich enough, even
Inside the city: but his villa was
his first extravaganza and always
his peculiar pet and pride. 1t
is difficult to say how many
distinct country properties Roman of
rank might not possess. If Cicero and
Pliny, who have told us so much about
their various installations, are to be
taken as representatives, one would say
that four or five huge country seats ami
as many lesser villas would be moder-

so at the bidding of their affairs; often
they were impelled by mere restlessness
