"HoNEsr MONEY!
a Couple of Consolences That Are Badl,
Mixed In

y
All the changes are ruug on 'hon-
est money" -as if gold were the only
honest money, Silver greenbacks,
treasury certificates are all 'scalawag
money" They are dishonest money.
We, the gold bugs, have the only
'honest money" that is, our money!!
Here is specimen OF the way the
term is used. A Washington dispatch
to the Hessian Herald daily Demo
cratic organ of the Shylocks) says:
MANY warm tributes OF admira.
ton were paid today by the honest
money men to Major Brawley, Of
South Carolina, and Mr. Wilson of
West Virginia for their courage in
voting against free coinage. There
Is u strong sentiment in the districts
OF these members in favor OF the un.
limited coinage of silver and many of
their associates say that they have
signed their political death warrants
by their action. The gentlemen
themselves are inclined to accept tho
correctness of this view. Major
Brawley however declared, in clos.
ing his mastery speech on the sub
Ject that dear as the approval of his
constituents would be to him, no held
his conscience higher than their
praise Mr. Wilson has been urged
by many of his friends to sacrifice his
convictions In this one instance in
order to preserve for his state the
benefit OF his splendid talent and long
experience, but after careful renec.
tlon he decided with Mr. Brawley.that
the approval of his own conscience
was dearer than that of others and
voted steadily on tho side which he
believes to be right"
Nd Now 1t is altogether evident that
the two gentlemen above named have
gotten their 'consciences" mixed up
with their ca h account in some way,
says the Chicago Express.
When mon will stand us candidates
for congress on free coinage plat
form; make free coinage speeches dur
ing the campaign, and then go to
and vote against free
coinage the conclusion is inevitable
that it is not u matter of conscience.
And the chances are that their consi,-
tuents will look at matters in tho
same light
Pursuing the same matter Uhe
Bland billy still further the dispatch
says The following is the pro
grammo of honest money advocates.
In view Of the probable attempt
OF tho Bland men to have the silver
bill again made special orlor tho
coinage men are preparing
to appear before the committee on
rules at the proper time and insist
that II the silver bill IS to be taken
from the calendar OF unfinished busl-
ness and forced to a final vote tho
special order shall also contain pro.
vision for the protection OF tho minor
ity by providing for a vote upon the
following motions:
]. That the bill and substitute be
committed, with instructions TO report
back a bill us u substitute to provide
for an international congress to con.
slider the matters referred to in tho
bill reported by the majority of the
committee.
2. If the above Is decided in the
negative, that motion simply TO re.
the whole subject shall be per-
mitted.
8. If the above is decided In the
negative, that motion to postpone
he further consideration OF the sub
ect to u given day In December next
hall DO permitted.
4. II tho above Is decided In the
negative the previous question may by
he friends OF the bin and the vote
lad first upon the substitute offered by
he minority for an international mon
tary congress and il that fails, then
pom the pending amendments OF tho
ill.
And this Is what Is called the 'Pro.
ramme OF Honest Money Advocates.
would properly DO called Scheme
I Money! Oishonorabe Advocates. "
But tho Bland Bill is dead. Dead
s Julius Caesar! Stabbed 10 death in
he house OF its pretended friends! |
OF course show OF friendship for
'ee silver will be exhibited Reso.
itions may be passed. Test votesn
that will simply test how many
naves and fools there are in con.
ress-may BIO taken. But free
Dinage bill has no more show In the
resent congress than a humming bird
as in hades.
VIII the people resent tho insult
hich has been heaped upon them in
lis matter OF looling and finding for
yenty years with the silver question:
VIII they rise up in their might and
