And still the enemies OF free coinage
continue to build castles in the air. They
continue to reassert that free coinage
means that the government shall buy
silver at 81 20 to coin the silver dollar,
when, as a matter Of fact, it means no
such thing, and the silver reformers do
not ask anything of the kind. What
they do ask is simply that silver shall be
remonetized and be placed exactly where
it was prior to 1878. which was On the
same plane with gold, then and now; but
the government directs that the mint
shall coin silver when brought to it with
the same limitations, and no more, that
govern the coinage Of gold.
That is all there is Of it; and that is
just what the conditions require. But
the gold bugs won't have it so il they
| can help it. And so their henchmen
keep on repeating the untruth, hoping
thereby, to bring free coinage into con-
tempt as well as make it unpopular with
the people. But against this we protest;
and so far as we can influence public
| opinion, the deception shall be exposed,
and the attempt to misrepresent the true
facts, as we have stated, shall be ex-
posed.-National View.

Some one from Colorado has informed
the editor Of the salt Lake Tribune that
the people Of HE State bad gone crazy
on the election. They have no use for
Democratic or Republican orations. They
shou, for Weaver on every stree, corner.
Sure signs that they have gone crazy.
The editor tries TO account for it by the
nesrness Of Mars. Perhaps he is right.
Has it not taught him how many wise
things can be said about matters that no
man knows anything about, and If he
did know il would not do him any good.
Absorbing questions! Are there men on
Mars, and do their irrigating bitches run
parallel? The next thing, the Democrats
will be discussing on the stump the ne
cessity Of q law to prevent syndicstes
from importing lsborers from that planet,
and the Republicans will draft a law to
protect US from their imported cheap
grain. 1t is said that the best telescope
has brought Mars within 80. 900 miles OF
US. And that fact suggests this simple
question in arithmetic. II the Demo
cratic and Republican parties keep drift
ing from the people in the same ratio as
during the last four years, how long will
it be before they reach Mars and under
take to legislate for that planetl The
answer may be given in these words: So
far as we are eoneerned the Democrats
and Republicans might as well be there
to-day. Tsere is only one question OF
vital importance TO US, and on that they
are both as dumb as oysters-that is
the silver question. We are not
interested in the girth of Cleveland's
trousers, nor in the size Of the hat that
Benjamin wears. Even baby Ruth OF
baby Mckee fails to arouse sympathy.
We have too many babies Of our own to
think Of and provide for. Yes, we are
all crazy. 1t reminds us OF a good old

now THE SILVER LAW WORKS.

There is a popular belief that by the
purchase Of $500. 900 ounces Of silver
per month the government monthly puts
into circulation that much new money.
This is an error. The government pays
for the bullion exactly what it amounts
to at the ruling marke. rates. II silver
rules at S4-about the average for the
psst few weeks-the 4,500,0 900 is paid
with So, $50. 900 in the new treasury
notes, and this is the full amount per
month the government purchase of sill.
yer bullion gives to the country.
If the bullion value of silver was it's
coin value-as would be the case were
free coinage restored-the purchase price
Of the $500, 600 ounces would be So
0S5, 900, or 8 :, 025, 600 more than it now
is. Thus, by the depreciation of silver
the result solely of the absence of free
coinage-the silver producers are de-
prived of S2,025, 900 monthly that right
eously belongs to them, and the business
Of the country is deprived OF that much
sound, substantial circulating medium
with which to keep it active and healthy.
The silver dealings Of the government
demonstrate that the actual annual loss
to the silver producer on but "a, 000, 0OC
ounce of their product is S24, 800, 900.
Ii the loss on $500, 900 ounces is 49,
025. 600. on the "a. 200, 900 ounces-the
annual purchases is s24, 800, 900. On
the total product Of the country it ID
not less than $50. 600. 900.
Every dollar Of this immense sum be-
longs. in justice, to those who dig the
silver from the mountains. Instead, how
ever, Of their receiving it, the govern

600 ounces which it buys for So. $50, o0t
paid for in psper-it may coin into

which, by virtue Of the government,

1t has the stock Of silver ON hand
when it will it can commence the coinage,
and thus pocket the immense difference
between the face value Of the coined dol
lars and the price at which it purchased
the silver bullion.
The entire silver system is a cheat. Il
persevered in it will result in grave dis
aster to the country. The only natural
sound and right solution is to return tt
the free coinage system that existed dur
ing the whole lifetime of the government
until 1878, when it was changed through
Wholesale bribery and deceit. -Denvel

The sweeping drift Of opinion in COL

onstrates the conviction Of she people
that there is small hope Of the remone'

ascendency OF the money power over

such pronounced monometallists as
Cleveland and Harrison, abundsntly sus
tains the popular Judgment on that
point Of vital concern to this State.
The truth is that the party through
which silver shall be restored to its
proper coinage status must be unhamp'
cred by obligations to the great monop-
olies which dominate the industries and
transportation facilities Of the country
and which have q common interest with
the gold trust in the debssement Of sill
yer and the contraction Of the currency.
To successfully assert the rights OF sill
yer, given it by the usage Of mankind
and by the organic law OF the United
States. the combined power of the now
%overbaring Operations and OF the
money brokers must be resisted and
overcome. The force that can do that
must emnate direct from the American
people and the agency through which it
shall be executed must be reasonably
free from the compromising and democrat.

SOONER THAI YOU THINK.

Some think it almost a hopeless task
20 expect anything in the way of national
legislation in the next few years from
the reform movement. This is a very
mistaken idea. II is very likely that
:he Peoples party and its sympathizers
will have a majority in the House before
long, perhaps hold the balance Of power
II the next session of Congress.
Al present the Senate has eighty
eight ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Republicans,
thirty.nine Democrats and two Peoples
party men. So to hold the balance Of
power the reform element only has to
gain q few members. The terms of
twenty.nine Senators expire next Winter
and two vacancies are to be filed. 1t is
possible that a large portion Of these
will be filled by reform men. To do
his, good legislatures should be elected,
especially in every State having Senators
to elect.

THE CEIsIs APPROACHING.

"My soul is full Of fear and %spprehen-
sion for the future safety Of this coun-
try, the growth Of cooperative power OF
wealth is a menace to be dreaded
more than the sectional strife just ter
minated" These were the prophetic
words Of that good and honest patriot
Abraham Lincoln. They were spoken
at a time when the nation was rejoicing
at the success Of the Union armies for
the preservation of this republic and the
emancipation Of four million black
slaves. II seems as though he was en-.
dowed with supernatural power OF
visisn. 1t seems that to him was given
the power of reasoning from the then
existing circumstance and the drift OF
things generally at the close of the war
that something was shaping itself
so as to fill his soul with terror and
dismay while the nation was in the full
tide Of rejoicing at the successful termi-
nation Of the terrible struggle for ma
tional existence just ended.
1t seems as though he saw on the far
distant horizon Of his vision something
dreadful forming, that like the avalanche
on the mountain is preparing for its
march of destruction, and when once
started on its course leaves nothing but
desolation in it's path. Could it
be that to him il appeared
that the menace that terrified his soul
the power and wealth Of corporations
would be the engines for the destruction
Of the nation for whose preservation
billions Of money and hundreds of thou
sands Of lives had been sacrificed
Could it be that his fears pictured to
his sorrowing soul another sort Of
slavery in the country that had just
e~mancipated four million blacks "A
slavery that would include not only the
blacks just relieved Of their shackles
and servitude to their southern masters,
but include the entire nation that in a
few score years would contain a hundred
million people); a people whose loyalty,
courage and intelligence had preserved
this country from foreign conquest
and domestic instruction and on whom
depended the future greatness Of this
country. To him was given the oppor.
tunity Of preserving the country. No
bly, he did his work. To him also was
given the opportunity of warning the
people of what he saw threatening the
country in the dim future. But, alas !
Greed and s~elfshness have been a char
acteristic trait of the corporations and
wealthy since the termination Of the
rebellion and exist to-day; yet
these engines OF destruction heed
not the warning of the martyred leader,
and the prophetic words Of his are near
ing their ful6llment. The crisis is
approaching and unless their course is
stopped the thirty Thousand owners Of
one-half the wealth of the country will
find that they cannot keep sixty.five
millions in their tolls, no matter il sus.
tanned by a dishonest, disreputable and
time.serving set of political leaders and
avenal press which their gold has subsi-
diced.
They are building a solid foundation
for engines Of destruction that whenever
set in motion will scatter their ill-gotten
millions. A war Of destruction, rapine
and murder, such as has never had its
equal, will be the finale Of Lincoln's
vision.
