The Monitor. has discovered that
Senator PETER has said that labor saw
ing machinery must be taken into
account in considering the cause of
low prices" and alleges that the Sem
ator has receded from his position
that the sole cause was the demOne-
tizatiOn of silver, etc. The Monitor
is not so ignorant as it would have us
believe concerning the POpulist pO-
sition. 1t knows full well that Sena-
tor PETER as well as all Populists have
held the theory that increased pro-
duction brought about by improved
machinery ought to inure to the ben

than to few men who by control Of

the laborer's and the producers wages

The DecIamatory Contest.
Parkville Mo-, Independent:


The declamatory contest at
Mccormick chapel on last Tuesday
evening was a very pleasant event.
The contest was between six young
people -four young men and two
young ladies' from the academy, all
Of whom had won first honOrs in
preliminary contests, and this final
one was for the purpose OF deciding
as to the merit and ability OF those
who had won before. The contest
ants were Misses Jessie Marriott and
Cora Plummer and Messrs. Harry
Ralston, Robert Gray, ALI. Des
Jordien, and Frank Baker. The
young men all spoke well, and showed
that they were well trained in the
declamatory arts, and yet it was
evident that the young ladies had
the best of the contest. They both
displayed rare ability in their work,
and their deliniatiOn of the different
characters with which they had to
deal showed them to be real artists.
Miss Plummer was fortunate 10 the
selection to be rendered, since it
gave her great latitude for display.
ing all her powers of elocution,
mimicry and other accomplishments
which 20 to make up the successful
declaimer. She easily carried of
the honors Of the evening, and yet
there was about the production OF
Miss Marriott a touching simplicity
and grace of manner in the rendition
OF her selection which Is seldom seen
among the younger students OF
elocution. The decision OF the
Judges, however was the decision OF
almost all before the judges had
reported. Miss Plummer has reason
to be proud Of the prize she has won,
but she has greater reason to be
proud OF the accomplishments which
easily proclaimed her first In the
contest Of last evening.

ions? II so, let us give you a little
advice. Pare them down as closely
as possible without drawing blood;
then soak them in warm water to
soften them and apply Chamberlain's
Pain Balm twice daily, rubbing them
vigorously for few minutes at each
application. A corn plaster should
be worn for several days to protect
them from the shoe. As a general
liniment for spraiDs, bruises, lame
back or rheumatism, Pain Balm is all
that can be desired. 50 cent bottles

The Monitor makes the insertion of
some notes in the recently issued
session laws showing up some un-
pleasant historical facts about the
seating Of Republican and POpulis
poStmaSters in the last legislature. a
subject for a lengthy editorial in
which he scores Secretary Of State
Osborn quite severely for his par
tisanship thus exhibited. The VOICE
is not quite certain whether this was
just the proper place to harrow their
feelings by reminding them of their
inconsistencies or not, but one thing
is eminently certain. That is, there
was fully as much appropriateness in
this act and far more honor and
dignity than in the deSpicable method
adopted by the Republicans of the
house in refusing to allow the journal
of proceedings to be read and approx
ed. and then putting their preparation
for printing and their publication in
the hands of committee composed
exclusively of Republicans, the mani
fest purpose being to doctor the
record so as to let their party down
as easily as possible and cOlOring the
opposition to as blacka hue as prac-
ticable. Think of the depths of in
fanny to which a party that likes to
boast of its sympathy" with morality
has to sink in order to do a thing like
this. tvariance with all presidents,
honor and courtesy. Now will the
Monitor be as fair as the VOICE and
acknowledge the corn on this piece of
business? Eli, neighbor, speak up!

Senator Teller Of Colorado handles
President Cleveland without gloves
for his assertion that the Sherman
silver purchasing law is the cause Of
our present financial troubles. He
shows the utter falacy Of such
reasoning and sets forth facts to
prove that we would have been
worse of without the purchasing act.
In nutshell he sums the matter up
as follows: "The financial disturb.
ance now existing throughout the
world is the result of an effort to
discard silver and to transact the
business Of the world on a gold basis,
and the disturbance is as general a:
the cause. No other reason can be
given and no other cause exists"

The money market is stringent
because of the contraction of the
currency and yet the gOldbugs howl
for the repeal of the purchasing act
which will cut off our silver certifl-
Gates and cause a further contraction
Of the currency. The people should
not and we believe never will tolerate

1t is rather amusing to see the Mon
itOr hosting the responsibility of the
present financial Stringency onto the
shoulders of the Democratic party,
and calling the attention Of cheap
money cranks" to the rapid strides be-
ing made toward an absolute gold
standard. 1t would beQuite interest
ing for the Monitor to point out the
difference between the policy pursued
by the late Ben Harrison and that
now being pursued by the present ad-
ministratiOn. Our neighbor very well
knows they are identical, Before the
late Ben" retired John Sherman and
all his hosts had declared that the
bullion act was only passed as tenn
pOrary measure and that it must be
repealed. And the same is now be-
ing vociferiously echoed by Cleveland
and his cohorts. The POpulists have
always maintained that the national
policy Of the two old parties were one
and the same, barring a little differ
ence of five per cent. on the tariff, and
it has been proven now TO the salts
faction Of all candid men that such Is
the case. We are at loss to know
how the Monitor can claim any credit
for its party, further than 10 call at
tentiOn to the fact that it is no worse
than its twin brother, and how it is
in position to reprimand recalcitrant
Republicans who asserted their
independence and voted the Populist
ticket because it represented their
honest sentiment. The result would
have been the same with either Ben
or Grover as has been amply proven.
This fact was boldly set fourth by the
Populist party and urged as a pretext
for the people to vote their honest
sentiments regardless of the failure or
triumph of either of the old parties,
and we take pleasure in calling atten-
tiOn to the proof of our prophecy. As
to the Sherman bill in particular it
will be remembered that Senator PEI
fer made speech at Oxford immedi-
ately after its passage in which he
predicted the very outcome of the bill
that is now before US. His assertion
that the coin notes would be paid en-
tirely in gold, Notwithstanding the
Secretary of the Treasury had the
power to pay them in silver, and that
silver coinage would entirely cease,
was hOoted by Republican papers al
the time, but We call the people tC
witness now il such did not come te
pass during the Republican admins.
