the clamor Of the press they have at
last been issued, and though doetored
in every way, they still show that no
industry has ever advanced in Amer

has been manufactured and covered
with tin in the United States, be-
sides the coating of tons of imported
plate This is a far better showing
than the most sanguine friends Of
the Mckinley bill anticipated, but
still the Democracy is determined to
destroy the industry. The leaders
of that party declare that the tariff
shall be abolished and are arranging
in Congress a measure to this effect,

When bonds were issued by the
United States for the purpose Of
liquidating the debt resulting from
the Southern Rebellion, they were
accepted by the people with the un-
derstandlng and agreement that they
would be redeemed in currency, in
Cluding paper, silver and gold. This
WAS a wise measure established with
forethought, for the purpose of main
tanning parity between the metals,
and under its provisions gold and
silver circulated together unimpeded
and industries grew and multiplied,
and the country enjoyed unpre
cedented prosperity. It was the
brightest era of our Republic and so

- In the midst Of such universal
= prosperity and satisfaction, in the
face Of the great expansion of trade
and commerce, Congress began the
consideration ofmonetary standards.
The people were contented, they did
not ask for legislation in the matter,
they knew the conditions could not
be improved. In response to the
senseless clamor Of venal press, in
fuenced by the very bondholders
themselves, Congress abandoned the
advantageous arrangement under
which the bonds were issued and ac-
cepted and enacted that all out
standing obligations Of the govern
ment should be paid in gold. Thus
silver was virtually demonetized and
gold became the only standard, and
ta in regular progression gold has in
~ creased as silver has decreased in
purchasing power. 1t was a trick
of the moneyed men to make gold
more valuable at the expense of
labor and every commodity, and its
concealed purpose has been satisfac-
torilv carried out Never since the
