The harmony OF the late meet
in1 to appoint delegates to the
State Convention, is subject OF
great encouragement TO all the
fr ends Of reform. There is no pet
ty jealousy OF that part Of the
party known 10 be in sympathy
with the Alliance or in actual touch
with il. All seem to be agreed
that harmony Is now essential to
the success of the reform movement
that is rapidly becoming COM
manding question everywhere.
One is obliged 10 regret, howev-
or, that the large majority in Con-
gress is 80 slow in redecming its
pledges to the people who trusted
it with so unreserved q confidence.
The attempt TO explain the mac
ton Of the House on the ground
that any favorable action would
meet with defeat in the Senate or
at the hands o. the Executive, is
vain. 1t would secm to be tn air
duty to 20 forward, and thus shift
the responsibility to the right
shoulders. They insist on form
ing public opinion, aud will make
no concession to the well-known
wishes of the people. For once,
they had better follow. A change
has come over the spirit of these
constituencies which must be re-
spected, and viii be in the end.
No amount of explanation will ex-
plain half so well as one manly ef-
fort TO advance the peoples wishes.

SOMETHING FOR GoLD-BUGs-THE
RELATIVE VALUE OF GOLD AND
sILvER-EUTS FOR GOLD
BUGS TO CRACK.

The gold bugs, in their war on
free sill cr, are the only authority
we want for the statement that it
only costs 4, cents to produce the
bullion put into q silver dollar.
The Nonconformist, in paragraph
which has been more freely copied
than anything in recent print, said
that the Homestake Mining Co., OF
the Back Hills, operating the lar.
gest quartz gold mile in the world,
produce gold bullion at cost OF
80 cents per dollars worth. This
writer knows this TO be approxi-
mateiy correct. For years this
company, owned by the late Sena-
tor Hearst, the iIaggin Bios ald
others, have taken out in clear
profit two dollars for every one ex-
pended in these mines. The world
over gold does not cost more than
silver. That is, 25.8 grains of gold
do not cost more TO produce than
37l4 grains Of silver do.
The men who pirate about an
"honcst" dollar are themselves
dishonest. Take off the fiat from
gold, take away its free coinage the
word over aud Win. wog'd rs
value be? DcnoGc.izo god and
there Is enough now for al the
wants Of the world IN the arts and
sciences for seventy years.
With soventy-fye years supply of
any commodity on hand, how long
would It maintain n three-fold prof
it. 1t is the fiat in favor OF gold
that makes the jew love gold. tt
is because gold relatively ia more
easily sccrotcd that tho Jew banker
| prefers it to silver. For the first
seyenty-fgc years Of this govern
ment silver was our ultimate stand
ard. If good enough for our faith
ors by what right do,s Shylock dare
! to dish0nOr it now? Back Of 1878.
when by deceit and robbery they
dcmouetized it, silver had the no
bier lineage and the better parent
$50. But let tho plutocrats rave.
The people have determined upon
the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver, not as the end, but as q
means to better times. II Shylock
has the voters TO back him, let the
battle be joired. Nonconformist
