Spot those agitatOrs in Chicago
and in New York, who endeavOred
to incite the masses to violence, and
it will be found that very few of
them, possibly none, have any real
right to speak for labor. They
have neither the horny hand of
toll as their credential nor that due
regard for the interests of the work
ing classes that entities them to
speak in their behalf. No man who
has a true regard for the interests
of wOrkingmen will excite their
passions needlessly, as was at
tempted at Chicago. That en-
deavor only brings them needless
ly and hostilely into contact with
the authorities and that in the end
to their own personal loss and the
discredit of labor.
1t is a Denver real estate man who
is to act as the political Moses of
that new party that the silver city
of the Rockies is going to furnish
the country. That do settle it.
There never was a real estate man
from that altitudinous city that
could not organize public concern
for personal profit, but as to the
public profit, that is another mat
ter.

rejoiced that congress. for a moment at

vicious money power and had retraced
its steps toward Jeffersonian simplicity.

silver certificates-paved the way for

he had just left. The congregation

them the initiative and the referendum.
Now. when the party triumphs, as it
will. our Legislators will be forced to
enact these laws or the party cannot

be carried out, and then the people,
with the referendum can reject any
pernicious law. When our future legis-

After giving a list of the large num-

Clay Center, Kan. Dispatch says:

paid up promptly everything would
have gone smoothly with them. The
reason they couldn't pay is because the

BIMETALISM RULED OUT.

The Adjourned Meeting of the Interna-
tional Monetary Conference VIII Prove
to BE a Fake.
The Brussels monetary conference is
not to discuss the question of bimetal
ism at the adjourned meeting. This
question was settled by the president, a
short time before ad journment, as
shown by the official record, page 343
announced as follows:
1.-The president declared the discus
sion on bimetalisin closed"
This conference was called by the
United States, and it was left for Pres
ident Cleveland to say whether the con-
ference should reconvene or not. With
the further discussion of the restoration
of silver as a full money metal COM
pletely debarred by the decision of the
president of the conference, what rea-
sons can be given for the, further con-
tinuancc of the conference?
Under this ruling only the greater
use of silver can be discussed. None of
the plans had in view the restoration of
silver as real money. but to keep silver
as a representative of debt to be re-
deemed in gold rs is now done by Sec
retary Carlisle.
1t looks very much as though Presi-
dent Cleveland. knowing that he has
dead sure thing in the action of the
conference, is desirous of keeping up
this international humbuggery to head
off the passage of a bill for the free
coinage of silver by the United States
congress.
This done,an effort will then be made

free use of silver as an ultimate
money by keeping it under-valued and
subordinate to gold by force of law. In
fact no one need be surprised if treaties
of this character are brought for

close of the adjourned conference to
convene in November at Brussels.-
