Who that is old enough can not recall
the story of the baggage master and

mans trunks, it will be remembered,
had been at one time and another
pretty roughly handled. and so one day
he got a rather fiimsy trunk and put IN
it boa constructor twenty-five feet
long, and he marked on the outside:
Don't break. Boa constructor inside.
"'Oh. I've just been waiting for some
body TO ship boa constructor by this
line said the baggage smasher, and he
grabbed the trunk by one of its ham
dies. intending TO toss ii over his head,
but he yanked with such sudden en-
er9y that he pulled the handle on.
Then he kicked the trunk over the
other end up and grabbed it by the
other handle, lifted it and dropped it

RING THE CHANGES ON 1T

Senator Butler in concluding his
speech in the United States Senate
in favor of free silver, made use
of the following ringing sentence
"You may strike down habeas
corpus; you may destroy the bill
of rights; you may abolish trial
by jury and other monuments OF
American liberty, and p people ac-
customed to freedom will get along
some how, and after some fashion.
but if you place the people Of this
or any other country at the mercy
of a privileged money class, you
had better take the hot winds OF
the desert and let them sweep over
that country, for destruction will
follow as sure as the day follows
the night"
Senator Butler is right, and he
might have gone farther and stated
with equal truth that the very con-
dition of affairs he deprecited
was actually in esEe. By theil
own confession the syndicate Of
national bankers precipitated the
crisist trough which we are just
now passing, and they could only
have brought about such state
of financial distress because they
have ,'the people of this country
at their mercy"
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1893-10-19

There are indications of a COM
promise on the silver question.
President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle are offering, it is said, an
olive branch to the silver senator's
in the shape of a two hundred
million dollar issue of bonds. And
this is just what the National
Bank Syndicate would most desire,
as it would be perpetuation of
national banks for years to come,
and Of course these banks would
handle these bonds, and the people
would still be at their mercy as
now they are. Compromises on
economic questions are always
wrong. Besides such al arrange
ment would not settle the matter as
to whetherihis country should have
a single or double STANDARD, but
would indefinitely postpone such
settlement. The terms offered are
too hard. Let the battle 60 on!
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1893-10-19

In his message to Congress on
the Sherman bill the President
used this significant expression
"This matter rises a6ove the plane
of party politics." This utterance
means, if it means anything, that
President Cleveland, on this par
ticular matter of repeal of the
Sherman law, will not be guided
by the wishes of the democratic
party expressed in it's Chicago plat
form or anywhere else.
