as shipper, is sufficient TO show the attitude
of the party in general towards this impor-
tsnt question. Nothing hadlmore influence
in securing the passage Of the scale bill
than the numerous petitions which the
grain dealers in the interior of the state
sent to different members urging the pas
sage of the bill. It was this demand backed
by the signatures of people from every pur-
suit that gave US sufficient leverage to carry
the bill through the house against a large
republican majority. Now ask if, as a
party, the republicans desire needed relief by
legislation, why did they make such pro-
longed and bitter fight against this bill?
It was a Populist measure drawn by
POpulist, yet that ought not to have pro-
voked suOh fierce opposition to meas
ure 80 universally demanded if the republi-
can party is acting in good faith in the
matter. Mr.. Greenlee called up the bill
one evening about O'Clock, it being dark
and raining; scarcely more than quorum
were present. number Of the republican
members, wishing to obey the requests of
their constituents, voted for the measure
others, wishing TO appear as being in favor
Of the bill and to make the people believe
80, also voted for it. There not being sufh-
Cient votes to pass it call Of the house was
demanded by the Populists and the strife
commenced. Every pretext possible was
made by the republican leaders to postpone,
indefinitely, action ON the measure. Three
different times did Representative Cubbi.
son move to dispense with the call of the
house, and as the absentees came on the
floor and voted for the measure enough re-
publicans would change their votes from
aye to no to hinder it's passage. Senator
Forney, hearing of the fight the opposition
was making on his bill, came on the floor
Of the house to look after its welfare, when
q republican member demanded the strict
of the rules, and the senator
was obliged to retire. Yet persons inter
ested in the passage Of the appropriation Of
hundreds of thousands of the public money
were daily importuning members to vote
for their bills, yet in single instance where
there was TO be a saving of the peoples
money the privilege of the floor was denied
a senator. It was far after the middle Of
the night before the deciding vote was
taken, and with the solid Populist vote
given for the bill it only passed by bare
majority; a few republican members, TO
their credit be it said, voted with the Popu-
lists and saved the bill. Really it appears
that the republican press, like a majority of
their members in the legislature, care far
more for political supremacy than the re-
lief of the people.-W. M. Kenton, in Rice

Give Us Absolute, Full Legal Tender, In

The gentlemen opposed to the free
coinage of silver say that the silver in

Suppose it is so. What of that? Home
stake Mining Co., of Black Hills, the
largest producer of gold in the world,
has its business so systematized that
every ton of ore milled averages IS at a
cost of s1.61.
So 81 of gold costs 81 cents Take off
your government fiat, and which COM
modify would be worth the more-gold
costing 32 cents, or silver costing Al
cents?-Denver Road.
If the above is true, will the Road
give US plausible reason why gov
ernment of the people should confer on
the producers of gold and silver the
special privilege of using the govern
ment stamp on an amount of metal that
costs Al and So cents and thereby Civ
ing it purchasing power of one hun
dred cents; that too while the pro-
ducers of all other commodities must
compete in the worlds markets where
the value of commodities are deter
mined by cost of production? Are the
free coinage people willing that the
producers of wheat and rye shall take
an amount that only costs SIC and
make it by the government stamp
$500? Not much. And wheat and rye
are much more valuable to humanity
than gold and silver: then, too, remem-
Der that in the mining of the gold and
silver labor only gets sl.6l and 81 06 re-
spectively, and the rich mine owners
would get s. 80 and s.. "a profit out of
every five dollars worth, after the gov
ernment confers the special privilege OF
free coinage. Free coinage people seem
to have a warm spot in their hearts for
mine owners. The pretense that II
helps other producers, won't work. II
is the same scheme of protection to
American labor" When plutocracy
has a scheme it always works it under
the pretense of helping labor. We need
more money. Weneed basis for mon
ey that that can't be cornered. Then
issue legal tender paper money based
on all commodities, including gold and
silver if you wish; then money can't be
cornered, and no class will have q
special privilege, and the mine owner
will have to take his chances with the

a determined executive has wonder

Mr.. Cleveland will carry his point in
regard to silver. The west and the
south feel the necessity of more money
and less credit, but they will not get

for his party. No one can fail to see
the faltering in the ranks of the So
called silver democracy, and they will
make their followers believe they are
doing the best they can, and thus hold
their ranks together. John Sherman

by the democratic special session next

Net gain DV England ana Europe -. VI, 3ST, l6S
1t will be understood that the item,
met loss to the United States" does
not figure in, or add to the worlds gain
for money use, but merely changes
the distribution of gold already in such
use.
The amount of gold annually used in
the arts is not very definitely ascer-
tanned, but in 1856 it was estimated by
the then director of the United States
mint to be $40, 900, 900 per annum. Mr..
Giffin the statistician of the London
board of trade, in 1899, estimated it at
$50, 600, 900. Senator John p Jones, of
Nevada, estimates that almost the en-
tire production is used for non-mone-
tary purposes, while +. NJ. Widney,
president University National bank of
Los Angeles, puts the average amount
used in the arts, 1881 to 1883, at S64, OOO,-
900 annually.
We are safe in assuming that the to-
tai net gain in the worlds supply of
gold for money use in 1892, did not ex-
ceed, even if it reached the sum of S45, :
900. 600 for the whole world, excluding
only British India.
This is less than s2S per capita for
the increase in population in the Uni
ted States during 1892, When India,
with her 10000, 900 of people, and
net balance of trade in her favor above
all liabilities, averaging more than
500, 600, 900 a year, begins to demand
gold to use as money, there will be
