Against international Agreement.

It seems to us idle talk on the part
of Americans, that we must wait for
an international agreement before we
put ourselves squarely on bimetalic
basis. Shall we wait for the consent
of the very thief that stole our horse
from US, to take him when we have
found out both the thief and have dis
covered our property
Here is what Senator William N.
Stewart of Nevada, said in the United
States senate January 2, 1889:
1--WE are cOollY informed by the rep
tractionists, that the United States is
powerless to mitigate or redress the
great wrong without the consent of
the cOnspirators, who demonetized sill
YER, and who are constantly devising
measures to transfer the wealth of the
many to the few and monopolize the
fruits of labor and enterprise. They
assert, with the arrogance of wealth,
that an agreement witd the leading
powers of Europe must be obtained,
before the United States can resume
the free use of silver as money, and
provide the people of this country with
constant and sufficient supply of that
circulating medium which has been
regarded as best suited for use as
money through all ages since man
emerged from barbarism. They know
very well that Europe is controlled by
an aristOcracy of accumulated capital,
and that the people have no voice in
determining what financial schemes
Shall be devised and carried into exc
c9tion for their oppression, and as
sumo from the success of their finan-
eial schemes IN this country for the
last 20 years that the people of the
United States have, no more know
ledge of their rights, or capacity to
PsOtect them. than the people of the
Pold world.
Subsidized. newspapers and hired
+ political economists have done much TO
keep the people ignorant of the wrongs
they suffer, but outside of the money
eenters of this country. where free
speech does not impair financial stand
fing and endanger success IN business,
the people are fast being educated on
the money question. and will soon as
sert their rights in the most effective
manner"
How does it sound for an American
TO say 1--WE must wait for an interna-
tional agreement before We return 70

a bimetalic standard of money, and
coin our own gold and sllver?''
This is toryism. of the most foolish
and vicious sort. Did the revolunton-
airy fathers. assembled in the halls of
the old state house in Philadelphia
wait for the consent of King George
before they published to the world
that renowned document. the declara-
ton of American Independence
We will suppose that while the long
deliberations went on. and before the
signatures were attached. some one
had arisen and have said: you make
too much haste in this matter; we
must have an international agree ment
on this important subject, and by all
means we must gain the consent of his
majesty, George III king of Great
Britain and Ireland"
Would not such a miscreant have
been speedily elected from the hall
and have been denounced as both a
coward and a paltroon?

Ten Years Between Drinks.

Mr.. Samuel Blackwell of Alabama &,

REMEMBER, farmer, that the remone-
tizatiOn of the white metal, the plac-
ing of the dollar of our dads back
upon it's honored pedestal, as money,
when stood for 80 years of our nation
al life, means much to you. You have
studied arithmetic in the country
school. What is the difference between
$1.32, the price of an ounce of silver
in 1872, and 20 cents, the price of an
ounce of silver in 1898. Let US see
2 is 2, z from Is 6: yes, 81 cents ex-
actly. Now that is the difference in
the price of wheat per bushel, between
the present price and what you will
get when we have returned to bimetal-
ism. 1t is even better than that.
Wheat in 1872 was $1.47, in 1898, it is
20 cents, the difference is IA cents. In
other words you now selling, if you
have any to sell, for 80 cents per
bushel. When we get back to the dol
lar of the dads. and the minis are
open to coin all that comes, You will
get better than 81 per bushel for your
wheat.
