A Gold Grabbing World.

With no record Of benefit to the
country and with no strength in
Congress the Sherman act will be
repealed, but it is not all of death to
die. The money question is agita-
ting the whole world and there are
convictions in this country which
will not be satisfied unless an &C.
ton of such moment as a repeal
which carries with it an entire ces-
sation of silver legal tender issues is
joined to some unequivocal enunci-
alton of a currency policy by which
the United States intends to abide.
When the Fifty-third Congress
assemblies the event will be one OF
much more than ordinary interest.
If this is the age of economics and
if issues of taxation and finance
concern the happiness of mankind
more than any others, the coming
session will rank with the decisive
conventions of history in the effect
if not in the romantic interest OF
its roll call climaxes. Leadership
and majorities are vested in the
Democratic party. A crisis in tax
alton and money comes just when
that party has resumed the control
which was broken by the Civil War.
In taxation the progress Of the
United States and of every Euro
pean country except England has
been backward toward tariff restric-
tons on trade. The people of this
country have instructed the Demo
cratic party to reverse the move
ment and begin to tax wealth and
to encourage markets.
In money the world, led by Eng
land. has been rushing toward an
exclusive use of gold and an aban-
donment Of silver. Germany forced
France, the typical bimetallic coun-
try before the war which Frustrated
the fortunes of the SecondNapoleon
to stop coming silver. Frances
surrender forced the other Europe
an nations to follow. The example
has become so potent that India,
the great absorbent of silver, is
contemplating a suspension Of free
coinage.
If the United States repeats the
Sherman act without taking a stand
against the gold monomania, the
entire civilized world will be soon
upon an exclusive gold basis.
What will follow? One of the most
prominent features Of contempora.

The Gold Conspiracy.

1t was conspiracy inspired by
England which demonetized silver,
and the suspension Of the India
Inints is a part Of this great con-
spiracy to force the world on a sim
gle neutrality-suspicious.. The re-
suit Of the free coinage of silver in
India has been to force the price
Of silver in the United States down,
and Thursday it reached the ruin
ously low price of 81 cents per
ounce, making the bullion value of
u dollar about As cents. How
much lower they can force the
white metal it is hard to tell, and it
makes but little difference as the
price at present is far below what
any silver mine can be worked at.
There is but one remedy and that
is flee coinage, without which silver
can never be on a staple basis. The
immediate effect of this decline is
disasterous to the many small min
ers and leasers on Wood River, who
have few tons of ore, taken out
by months of hard labor, on close
margin at so cents, and on which
they depended for the years living
expenses.
England has started out to con-
quor the world with its gold and
immense creditor balances, and it
now remains to be seen whether the
United States, after III years OF
prosperous freedom, will, with the
aid of the few traitors bought with
British gold, again serve under the
English yoke. If the patriotism
inherited from forefathers does not
fail US, all will be we'll, or the gut.
ters Of Wall Street will be flushed
with blood of English tools and
gold-Dug conspirators, and anothe,
monument will be raised in Wash.
,ngton baptised in the blood Of
Ialth!n5s public servants.

The Extra Session Against Silver.

The Nevada State Journal, a
strong silver paper, sums up the
present congress as against silver,
and believes their is no hope for
favorable silver legislation until a
new congress comes in. The
Journal says:
"The Eastern goldbug press is
proving the truth of the assertion of
the silver men in Nevada and other
western states last fall that there is
no difference between the Republl-
can and Democratic leaders in the
east on the financial question. 1t
was alleged that Wall street in
spired the financial resolutions
adopted at Minneapolis and Chlca.
go, and the allegation seems we'll
founded, as the present admlnlstra.
ton is carrying out the financial
policy of Harrison's administration
to the letter by refusing to recog-
nize silver dollars as money in pay
ing Government obligations.
"The New York Times, the
Springfield Republican, the Trl-
bune, and the World, though differ.
ing politically in name, are in full
accord on the financial question,
and each and all advocate the re-
peal of the Bullion Purchasing act
and the complete demonstration
of silver. The Washington cores
pondents of these papers predict
the repeal of the Sherman act and
base the prediction on a COM
bination of Republican and Demo-
cratic congressman against silver.
They say that of the 218 Democrat
ic members in the House Of Repre-
sentatives only 1913 favor free coin
age and 80 are uncompromislngly
opposed to it. There are III Re-
publican members of the House,
only eight of whom can be counted
upon as favoring free coinage, while
1l9 are against it. These 1913 Re
publicans with the so Democrats
constitute a decisive majority Of
the House, and that majority will
defeat any measure that is favorable
to silver.
Assuming that this statement is
correct, and unfortunately for the
silver cause there is no good reason
to doubt it, nine-tenths of the Re-
publican members and nearly one
half the Democratic members Of
the House of Representatives are
opposed to free coinage. Under
such circumstances there is but one
consistent course for the
real silver men of both the old par
ties to pursue, and that is to unite
with the silver party and overcome
the gold bugs in the next election
by force of numbers.
st is considered by every intelli-
gent person that the financial ques-
ton is the greatest and gravest po-
litical issue Of the day. 1t is also
admitted that neither the Republi-
can nor the Democratic party will
pass a free coinage bill. The Re-
publicans failed to pass such a
measure when they bad control of
both houses Of congress and of the
administration, and the belief is
general at the present time that
the Democrats will follow their ex-
ample. Only one course, therefore
open to free coinage and
that is to do as the silver men Of
Nevada, Idaho and Colorado did in
the last campaign-sever their con-
nection with the goldbugs, whether
they call themselves Republicans
or Democrats and elect a congress
next year that will be overwhelm
ingly in favor of placing silver on
an equality with gold at the minis
Of the United States.

THE Challis Graphic says that

THE Challis Graphic says that
the republican is the only party
that ever did anything for silver.
The Graphic is right. The franz
ers Of our Constitution made silver
u constitutional money, and the re-
publican party in 1873 demonetizsd
it. We believe that is all that has
ever been done for silver, and the
republican party done it. Long
head, these republicans have, all
same mutton-head.
