have not only violated every pledge
made to the people, but they have in
their national convention, by plat
form, declared that the Republican
English financial policy is right, and
that the raw material produced by
the farmer and common laborer shall
90 on the free list while the manu-
tacturer is to be protected, thus fore
ing the production of raw material
to sell in the cheapest market in the
world, and buy in the dearest market
in the world. This is bid for the
money of the Eastern manufacturer,
to be used as q corruption fund by
Democratic heelers and wire pullers.
Will the honest yeomanry of the
country permit themselves to be
driven further in the road that is
rapidly bringing them to a condition
of slavery that must fall as blight
upon their children for all time?
Throw off the yoke of party bon
dage. Join the on marching hosts
of the Peoples Party, and save to
your children the right to enjoy the
fruit of their toll for all time to come.
Organize, take papers that will keep
you posted on the movement of the
enemy, and on election day strike for
liberty, home and native land.

The Depths of Infamy.
National Waterman.

National Waterman.
The old issue of sectionalism is con-
fronting the South, The white people
here are menaced by force bill legisla-
ton. The prosperity of the South
the industrial development of the whole
section is menaced by the Republican
party, which has promised its followers
that it will turn the Southern States
over to negro domination and fasten
upon them an intolerable federal des-
pOtism. All -.n1,4ssu~ -, o-~
Ratify,. brethren! Get together and
ratify!
With the force bill in operation, all
the financial reform in the world
wouldn't do the South any good Our
industries would be paralyzed, and our
business practically destroyed.
The above extracts are taken from
the Atlanta Constitution, and disclose
not on " the potency of the party
lash, but the depths of infamy to
which the press of the country will
descend in order to serve the money
ed plutocracy which now rules and
governs this country. Especially is
this example of abject servility more
pronounced in the case Of the Con
stitution, both it's friends and its en-
emies having expected it would come
out for the Peoples Party. 1t has
advocated within the past two years
almost every principle contained in
the platform of the Peoples Party.
1t has fought Cleveland and his sill
yer record most intelligently and per-
sistently, and has called to account,
not only the Republican but Demo-
cratic party for past and present Of
lenses. 1t has been an INDEPENDENT,
and to considerable degree a fear
less exponent of many of the reforms
demanded by the Peoples Party,
10 such an extent was this carried
on, that Democrats complained and
reformers rejoiced. The all import
ant problem now to solve is the means
and methods by which this sudden
and complete transformation was
brought about.
1t is certainly not the result of
changed condition, or the force of
new arguments, but must be the work
of some unseen and dangerous pow
er. Whatever this controlling infu-
ence may be, or wherever it may be
located, it is menace to liberties of
the people, and should be hunted out
and destroyed. Of what account are
the constitution and laws of the land,
when an unknown force can be ap-
piled to great and prosperous paper
that will cause it stultify itself, re-
pudiate its past record, and strike
hands with those whom it has so re-
Gently condemned? Such conduct is
enough to fill all candid men with
alarm, and make even the thought
less pause and consider the gravity Of
the situation.
1t is not so much the fact that the
Constitution has taken this cringing,
menial-like course, as it is the power
which compelled the action. From
now on it will do the bidding of it's
masters, whoever they ara, and will
drop from the position of independ-
ent journalism to that of fawniDg
sycophant. Let the people of Geor-
gia wipe out the infamous sheet from
out their borders. Refuse to have it
in the family for fear of its blighting
and communicating influence.

COAST OFFENCES.

Whatever the issue Of the controversy with
Chill may be the need of new means of prOec-
ton for our coasts is likely to be impressed upon
Congress and the country In case Of war the
consequences of Il possible bombardment of New
York will loom large before the Imagination of
our people even though there be little actual
danger Of its realization. The inhabitants OF
other important maritime cities will experience
u similar awakening, and in greater or less de-
gree those who live inland will appreciate the
intimate connection bttween their own welfare
and the security of our seapoIts. If peaceable
settlement is reached il is, nevertheless, not UNI
reasonable to believe that the present sense Of
disability Will last, and that it will be sufficiently
strong and general 20 insure the rapid prepare
ton Of new defences..
Considerable progress has been made during
the six years since Mr.. Tilden sent 10 Mr.. Car
lSle on the eve of his election to the Speaker
ship, a notable letter reminding him and the
country Of the helplessneSs Of our ports and
urging liberal appropriations for their prOtec-
ton. II the professional theory that a strong
navy is the most efficient element Of defence be
accepted, then IL will be acknowledged with
gratitude that remarkable progress has been
made, OF which the whole country knows and j.,
proud, and that the work is going forward stead
lily and prosperousy But ships, though pr-
marily essential, are not enough. They must
be reinforced at Newlori and at other ports
by Notifications and by facilities for the applica-
ton Of all approved devices to prevent Or inter
rupt the approach of enemies by sea. The con-
dition Of New-York is much less hazardous than
it was few years ago. and in the opinion of an
expert on Notifications who was quoted in yes
terday's TRIBUNE its safety could be made rea-
sonably secure within q few weeks. But this
great and wealthy city ought not to be left de-
pendent upon the protection of improvised and
temporary expedients. 1t ought without delay
to be made permanently secure against attack.
It's natural advantages of situation are almost
uneQuaed. and it can be put beyond the DOS

which ended in disaster.

There is 10 be another discussion OF the silver

by political action. ~ 70 the more ancient his

IL was early in 1873 that Congress enacted
tho law requiring purchase and coinage Of not
less than 81, 900 600 worth Of silver bullion
each month The price fell sharply during the
year following, and never recovered to nearly
the same point again until September 1890.
According 10 Mint reports, it happened that the
production of silver rose in 1878 quite sharply
from less than forty to over forty-hve millions.
But according to Mr. Valentines records the in
crease to nearly forty-Six millions was in 1877,
and a decline followed in 1878 to thirty seven
millions. According to both records the prOduc-
ton hal risen somewhat further by 1894, to
nearly forty-nne millions, according to Mint re-
ports, and the fact appears that the price aver
aged higher for the whole years 1883 and 1881
than for the latter part Of 1873 or the first part
Of 1879. Undoubtedly the serious depression
Of trade which made that the lowest point ever
touched for prices Of commodities was the chief
cause Of the decline in 1878, together with the
emptying upon the markets OF silver which had
been accumulated in expectation that the new
act would advance the price,
After that PERIOD it will be seen, the price OF
silver was on the whole pretty steady for six
years. The record of yield shows that it was
not then 80 low in price as TO prevent the open
ing of additional Mines though about a sixth
lowe. than the average for seventy-twO years
prior to European demonstration in 1873. But
in 1885, without warning a new and serious
fall in silver began, which followed closely upon
the advent of the first Democratic Adminisra-
ton for many years. Probably the announce
ment OF its hostile policy with respect to silver
had some influence, for the yield was scarcely
greater in 1885 than in 1884 or 1888. and not

EEEECTS OE MIMI CLDER.

After a good many years of uncertainty two
things have Just been settled officially by the court
nj Dayton, Me, namely, the exact value Of
Maine husband and that cider is intoxicating.
The ease of Boston versus Hill has attracted
much attention in Maine, rs it deserved to do, it
being seen from the first that these two inn
portant points would he settled for all time. The
suit was begun by Mrs. Ida v Boston against
Deacon Cyrus Hill, whom she charged with selling
cider 10 her husband, thereby making drunk
ard Of him and causing him 10 neglect his family.
She placed her damages al $4,000 a. she explained
that before The Deacon fastened the deadly cider
habit upon him, he was very superior
article OF husband. Tie fact that sc got
damages in any amount OF course shows
that cider is an Intoxicating liquid People
who do not drink it have long held this to be
n fact but cider drinkers have always maintained
that it is a harmless and pleasant beverage which
aids digestion and helps to build up the system.
When. the unsuspecting Boston first began to
buy and consume the Deacon's cider it probably
was quite innocuouS, as IL had but recently been
pressed from the apples, but as the fall and
winter wore away great change gradually stole
over it; and the more II changed the more the
thoughtlesS Boston drank Of IT, lie began 10 come
home late nights and forget TO wind the clock or TO
PUT out the cat Gradually he began to neglect his
duties at other times. After lie had gone over
to the Deacon's in the morning Mrs. Boston would
frequently find the woodboN empty and the hogs
unfcd. Many times while MIS- Boston was
out mitigating the stomachic pains of the
swine or splitting wood, ana getting the
axe caught in the clothes line boston would be
