manent parity between gold and sill
YER. The London Times, which has
the courage to speak the truth once,
says;
We regret the course the govern
ment has taken. 1t appears to be-
playing inc the hands OF the polit,-
clans in power in Washington. The
effect OF the conference will only be
to keep the silver market and the
whole question OF the currency in an
unsettled state for a long time to
come. Is anything likely TO be done
by international agreement which
will give greater stimulus to the
rehabilitation of silver than the Bland
bill? We cannot now avoid
being made to serve the turn OF poll
teal wire pullers and stock specula-
tors by the acceptance OF President
Harrison's invitation.
The clique OF political manipulators
in Washington take the people to be
an aggregated lot of fools and | think
can discover a faint glimmer of fact
in the thought but with the knowl-
edge OF finance that has been dissent
mated in the last sixteen years
throughout this broad land, such
efforts to blind and quiet the people
as the proposed silver conference, only
confirm our opinion that the leaders
OF the two old parties have no con-
fdence in the intelligence of the peo.
pie. Yet their stump speakers will
tell the dear people that their govern
ment is secure and safe with such an
intelligent constituency, They (the
peoplel have displayed about Us much
intelligence as the educated mne who
has learned to initiate his master.
With this difference, while the mule
can learn imitation men can learn to
think and reason which | think they
are doing now. But the means that
have been employed to compel them
to think and learn have been so very
exhaustive that it is question wheth-
er they have vitality enough left to
make successful effort. We hope
they have, and are willing to make
that effort this year. We can roll
away the stone from the door
OF the tomb this fall if we
will. and unless we do ] fear
the decomposition that has already
commenced, will by the time another
presidential election occurs. find lis

animals that live and thrive on de-

less we rout the shylock marauders
this fall and drive them into the sea,
they will certainly create new dis
abilities that will deprive US OF the
power of self defense The evidence
is so voluminous that the men who
rule this country are prompted by
greed for power and money instead

tions, that 1t is useless 10 cite any

The words of the London Times

(England) cannot avoid being made
(the toot) to serve the turn because
America served them in demonetizing
silver in 1879 OF political wire pull

ceptance OF President Harrison's in
vitation. " Inc Times admits they
had to agree to the conference to
please our political schemers but did
not intend that it should amount to
anything. neither are the representa-
tives of our government sincere in
the request for a conference. it was
done to quiet the people and make
them believe they wanted to put sill

know is not the case. The People,
