FREE COINAGE THE ISSUE.

The National Waterman. published at
Washington, ID. c., is the leading organ
Of the Populists. 1t now candidly ad.
mits that the financial question is the
great issue and abandons for the present
the sub-treasury scheme, Government
ownership Of railroads. and postal savings
banks, and declares for the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver as the issue
upon which the coming campaign is to
b. fought, and says:
"The Waterman proposes to. place at
the head of its columns the following
demands as the paramount issue for the
coming election. and to this invites
criticism:
"'We demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of gold and silver at the pres
ent ratio Of 16 to L.
"'We demand that this amount Of
gold and silver shall be supplemented
with a full legal tender paper money in
sufficient volume to maintain equitable
prices
rive demand that all money snail be
issued by the Government direct TO the
people, and that all money so issued
shall be a full legal tender for all debts,
private or public
"0n these plain. simple, and we'll
known propositions the greatest
economic battle OF the age can be fought.
The people ARE acquainted with these
measures."

DOORS CLOSED TO OFFICE
SEEK Frs.

-
WASHINGTON, May S.-The Presidents
order closing the White House to office
seekers has formed the chief topic of
conversation among politicians to-day.
Senators and Congressman with large
and active constituencies are inclined to
favor it as they are relieved Of a great
deal Of pressure from importuning fol-
lowers Of politicians and the order will
have the effect of making a close cor
poration Of the patronage system and
the President will be debarred from
hearing from people of the fitness Of
candidates.
In opposition to these opinions it is
urged that the President has borne with
patience the personal solicitations of
people for two months and that as q
matter Of fact the personal presence of
applicants is seldom necessary. 1t is
urged that the denial Of personal inter
views does not cut of the right Of citi-
zen to make Inducements or put for
ward candidates. The President says he
now has more important business which
demands his attention than he had dur
ing the entire four years Of his previous
administration To these matters he
had no time to devote himself on account
Of the crowds Of men continually de-
handing his time to importune him for
positions. The time for human endur.
noe has come to an end aud something
had to be done.

Under this heading the Salt Lake
Tribune Of last Wednesday says: Sec
rotary Carlisle is making a super-hu-
man effort to avoid issuing bonds, bot
the Treasury is drifting away and the
debt is increasing. The news seems to
agree that the people in the Eastern
cities are living At q furious speed. while
the people in the country are greatly
distressed, and we trust that the strug-
Gle which the Secretary Of the Treasury
is now making to keep the credit Of the
country above suspicion, even II u does
succeed, will expand his mind until he
will see what is plain TO many inferior
people, that the only safe thing to do Is
to assume that silver is just as good as
gold, and to work from that stand
point. The longer ID is put of the
more certain aud terrible will be the
finAl crash, because, as things are 60.
ing Oh, a panic will come by and BY, a
panic and such a loss as will strand
many . weak house and probably drive
to the wall thousands OF others which
are still solvent and under ordinary
circumstances would work out all right.
The real money was cut down as far
as legislation could cut it, about one
half. That drove the surplus to the
cities. Those who had it doomed the
cities, and the rush went on until each
particular boom exhausted itself, and
now the danger is IN the nation Of the
beginning and carrying on Of q panic.
which, if it once starts, will be some
thing dreadful. There is yet time to
recover if the men in charge only have
the courage to revise the work Of
twenty years ago and begin to repair
the damage made by that work. I'm
less they do, the second year Of Mr..
Clevsland's administration will be q very
sorrowful one.

COINAGE AT THE BIG
FAIR.

The following is taken from a letter Of
the Chicago correspondent Of the Carson
Appeal:
'In the Nevada headquarters you can
always find a crowd of iDquiring East
erners who want to know why we started
such q row over silver and why the devil
we brought the fight TO the Atlantic
coast and into the halls Of Congress at
Washington.
"'Wby,' remarked a fat old gold bug
from New York to Commissioner Haines,
it wasn't more than q year ago when |
first heard Of this silver question, and
here you are making a fight in almost
every State in the Union and standing a
pretty fair show Of getting away with
the deal. l never saw such aggressive
people as you fellows
"Hsines informed him that after
allowing ourselves to be jomped upon
for twenty years we had finally turned
upon our t~ramplers and proposed to do a
a ht..ie kicking ourselves.
mot one fastener out Of ten, after
hearing the plain facts OF the silver
question, blame Nevada people for
wanting free coinage. II the case was
as we'll understood East as it is West, q
silver candidate for the Presidency
would he elected in 1896.
IA few Nevada people come in each
day, and any one who wants to discuss
free coinage can always find a. good
crowd of takers to give him all he
wanks.u

President Cleveland oun that
he will no longer grant personal inter-
views 10 ofice-seekers. Neither will he
see. only at public receptions, persons
who call simply to pay their respects.
He gives as . reason for issuing this
order that the public business, to . great
extent, is prevented from being carried
On by the horde OF place-seekers and
their friends who haunt the White
House almost constantly. Cleveland
also says in effect that an applicant for
an Office will lessen his chances for an
appointment by being too previous. The
oracle hath spoken.

ated to be filed again by the issuance Of

Tom Ochletree, the well known
Texas statesman, has written q syn
dictate letter which is now being pub
lished in the large papers. He claims
that the south will stand by the west
on the silver question and settle the
owing and unpaid debt of three years
age when the west stepped in and
saved the south from the force bill
The south admits the debt she owes
for being saved from deep sectional
humiliation. She got aid and help
from the west when she sorely needed
it. The conditions are now reversed
and she has the opportunity to square
the obligation. Win the chivalry of
the south predominant? Will she be
true or false? We shall soon see.

THE STATESMAN.

The Boise Statesman has just com
pleted its Both year and it is the
Oldest as well as the leading paper of
Idaho. The SIGNAL Is moved to call
the attention of the people of Wash
ington county to the fact that the
Statesman is really a home paper and
distinctly has Idaho's interests at
heart, is strong and fearless and in
spite of any difference between its
political views and your own, or the
small difference in price between it
and the big dailies of big cities, it
should receive the loyal support of
the people of Idaho. 1t has made
great strides of late in giving our
people the news, and gives us all the
Important events almost as fully and

Those who depend on Portland, San
francisco or Salt Lake papers for the
news, lag along twenty-four hours
behind the Statesman readers in

Gifted by the increased power of the
paper, unstintingly expended in
fostering and building up the inter-
ests Of Idaho, both north and south,
with which it has so closely allied
itself. 1t is also plain that with in
creased circulation comes a greater
income from advertisements and a
consequent reduction in price.
We presume that, like ourselves, the

1t become a great paper.

The Idaho Enterprise thus begins
an editorial.
While the people of Oneida are as deeply
concerned in the silver coinage question as
anv in the state, yet the effect upon them
is not quite as direct as upon those of some
localities. However, Oneida county is
solidly for free coinage and her voice will
ever be heard in favor of the white metal.
The war against silver is the sole
cause of the hard times that are work
ing ruin and devastation in the in
dustrial and commercial world. If
Oneida county Is sufficiently prosper
Gus within herself that the effects OF
hard times do not fall as directly up.
ON her as upon other localities, then
her people are indeed blessed.
