EDITOR ADvoCATE:-A neighbor, who
is no politician in the usual sense of that
term, but who makes it point to keep
abreast Of public affairs, recently handed
me the following plain, practical and
pointed view Of the situation Of the Coun-
try and its demands upon the electors,
which seemed to me worthy the sttsn-
tion OF all intelligent people; and I
therefore pass it over to you for publics-
tion. As will be seen, it is in the shape
of distinct propositions or resolutions,
covering the principal points in oontrO-
versy now before the country in 9 sue
cinct and convincing form, taking a
distinct issue with those who question
or deny them:
WHEREAS, The money power ls MAX
ing it's final effort to subjugste the coun-
try, and is calling franticRlly upon It's
upholders and minions to repair to
Washington to aid in drsgooning CON-
gress into q contamination of it's schemes
Of robbery and pillsge. Therefore. we
remind our members OF congress that
the people made this country and own
it, and not the bankers, money syndi-
Gates or corporations, and We have con
fdence that they cannot be betrayed
into q denial Of their constituency or Q
stultincation Of themselves, and their
wellsettled principles at the beck or nod
Of wealth, power, pretention, bluster or
impudence. Therefore be it
RsSOIOsd, First-Thst the peril Of the
situation, and the activity Of the enc
mics Of republican government and pop
ulsr institutions at the capitol at
Washington nscessitRtes the most
speedy and determined action on the
part Of the plain people to prevent their
absolute subjugstion to wealth and
power, and their reduction to the condi-
tion Of the peasantry Of the old world.
Second-Thst the president Of the
United States, so'reeently elected by the
bOasted democratic element Of the ooun-
try, has brought grlsvous dissppoint-
ment to thousands of his supporters aud
other thousands who hoped for better
things, by his unequivocal announce
ment against any legislation thstw will re-
lieve the distress prevailing throughout
the nation, by taking sides with English
holders of American securities and by
his espousal Of the cause of dear money
and q contracted currency in the inter
est Of the creditor class, and to the det-
riment and rum Of the great producing
element of the country and the psuper-
ization of the weak and lowly whom this
government was established to protect,
and not to destroy.
Third-That the determination Of the
holders Of gold to drive silver out Of the
realm OF money, and thus impoverish
millions for the benefit Of few, Is the
most wicked and Infamous undertaking
OF the age, and deserves the stern re-
buks and condemnation of every citizen

| liquidation Of the debts.
The Bland-Allison act Of February 20,
1878, instead Of being in the interest Of
the silver producing states, and COM
promise, as understood at the time, be-
tween the monomstsllists and bi-metal-
lists in congress, was, in fact, but a
subtle, deceitful, Legislative trick played
upon the people to stop the agitation Of
the question Of free coinage, and the
Sherman law wss but furthersnce Of
this subtle ambidextrous scheme to COM
pletely overthrow bi-metallism in this
country.
II the senate should repeal the pur-
chasing clause in the Sherman law, it
would put this country on single gold
standard. II, however, it should fail to
repeal the purchasing clause in the
Sherman act, then the secretary of the
treasury would likely suspend the pay
msnt Of gold in the redemption Of treas
ury notes. Wall street would refuse to
recognize silver as money and parity
would thus be lost between gold and
silver; then the holders of silver bullion
could not afford to take treasury notes
in payment of silver. This would force
q crisis, and also put the country on a
single gold standard; but it would be
Of short duration, for Mr.. Cleveland
could not stand the pressure and the re-
suit would be the repeal of the excep-
tion clauses in the Bland-Allison and
Sherman acts, and perhaps, be followed
by free and unlimited coinage Of silver.
Wall street is given the power under
the Bland-Allison and Sherman laws to
defeat the circulation OF silver dollars
and can any day it dares force single
gold standard in the United States. Sill
YER dollars not being a legal tender
money, bankers are not compelled by
law to take it on general deposit and
treat it as money of account. If the
bankers Of the city of New York, from
prejudice or selfish motive, should con-
clude 10 reject silver on general deposit
and refuse to pass it through the clear
ing house in the settlement Of balances;
then not q bank in the whole country
could afford to take silver. The silver
dollar as q consequence, would drop to
its bullion value, become commodity
and pass out Of circulation Rs money.
This is the situation. The president
understands it, Mr.. Carlisle understands
it, and thus have the people been de-
ceivsd and silver knitted in the house Of
its friends. Il is impossible that this
pslpable discrimination In the law
against the silver dollar could have es-
capped the notice Of the president II the
president was as honest and frank as he
has the credit Of being, he would have
called congress together for the purpose
Of repeating the exception clauses in the
BlRnd-Allison sct Of 1873 and the Sher-
man act Of 1890, instead Of demanding
the repeal of the purchasing clause in
the latter law.
The repeal Of the exception clauses
would make the silver dollar an honest
dollar, the equal Of the gold or any other
dollar. This would remove from the
minds Of the holders of our securities
and depositors in banks all fear Of their
being paid in deprecated coin. The
treasury notes would then 90 into circu-

monthly purchases Of silver bullion, they
come right back I'd the treasury for re-.
demptiOn, and the government is forced
to redeem them in gold else suffer the
disastrous consequences Of loss Of par
ity Of the silver dollar with gold anG
other legal tender currency, hence the
demand of the president for the repeal
Of thespurchRsing clause Of the Sherman
act.
Why do not the holders Of the 346,-
100000 of greenbacks demand gold for
this currenCyP Is it because there is
not gold enough IN the treasury to re-
deem this currencyP Or is it because Of
another and better reason for its parity
with gold? The grsenback is legal ten
der money. The treasury note, issued
for the purchase of silver bullion, is not
legal tender money, nor is the standard
silver dollar in which these treasury
notes may be redeemed legal tender
money, as / shall be able to show in my
argument Of this question.
The first act Of congress, after the
dsmonetizing act Of 1873, which sought
to open our mints to the coinage Of
standard silver dollars, and tO restore
their legal tender character, was the act
Of February %, 1878, known as the
Bland-Allison act. This act did not re-
store the legal tender character Of the
silver dollar aB pretended in the title Of
the bill The law was an insiduous de-
Ception imposed upon the friends Of sill
yer, as will appear in the following
exception clause in the law, to-wit:
"ThRt the new silver dollars coined
under this act, shall be legal tender at
their nominal value for all debts and
dues, public and private, except where
otherwise expressly stipulated in the
contract"
In the Sherman law Of 1890, the same
exception clause occurs in almost the
same language, and is found printed on
the back Of treasury notes.
There Is but little difference, IL any,
between the fraudulent act OF 1873 and
the perhdious act Of 1878. While the
former stopped the coinage OF silver, the
latter limited it's coinage and took away
from the standard silver dollar it's former
legal tender oharacter-debased it, as it
were, and destroyed its value Rs q money
Of ultimate redemption. The treasury
note, therefore, having no certain basic
money for its support, may be redeemed
in 54-cent dollars at the option Of the
secretary of the treasury, and are made
worthless as circulating medium.
If thus exception clause was made to
apply also to our gold and greenback
currency, there would not be any legal
tender money in the United States. II
persons were given the power to decide
as to the kind Of money in which pay
ments should do made, then it!would be
the individual who made the money, and
not the general government. In the
free coinage law of 1892 and in force un-
til 1873, there Is no exception clause
found against either gold or silver in the
payment OF debts. Both these metals
are made money Of account, and declared
to be q lawful tender in all payments
whatever, and no one, under this law
had q right to stipulate in the contract
the kind of money he should receive in

the BRAZILIAN REVOLT.

The latest Intelligence regarding the
revolution in Brazil indicates the proba-
BILE overthrow of President Peixoto,
against whom the revolt seems to be di-
rected, rather than against the republic.
1t appears that practically the entire
naval power of the country is in rebel
lion, while the revolt is also gaining
ground on land. The appeal of the
president to the provinces to send troops
to the defense of Rio Janoiro is reported
to have met with no response, and all adj
vices are to the effect that the insur-
gents have a decided advantage at
nearly every vital point. OF course,
these reports are to be received with
some allowance, but, taken as a whole,
they furnish reason for believing that
the revolt is very likely to triumph.
1t appears that Admiral Mello, the
leader of the revolt, Processes not to be
dissatisfied with the republic, but mere
ly demands the resignation of Pexoto on
the ground that he holds his executive
position by illegal and unconstitutional
u%surpations of power. The accusations
against him are that he has overridden
the will of congress, vetoed bills which
were intended to limit and define his
power, and planned and schemed to Sc.
cure either his own hold on the presi-
dency for an illegal period or the sue
cession of some one who would be
a tool in his hands. There is
doubtless some substantial ground for
this arraignment, but the fact is, there
has been a good deal of political unrest
in Brazil ever since the bloodless revo-
luton of 1889, which sent Dom Pedro
into exile. That revolution was not the
result of a popular uprising, but was
contrived aud carried out by a small
military clique, and while it was subse-
quently a~cquiesced in by the people and
a republican form of government set up
modelled after that of the United States,
it is questionable whether the men who
succeeded to power have ever enjoyed
the full confidence of the country. At
any rate, Brazil has at no time since the
~dethronement of the emperor been alto
gether free from more or less threaten
ing political disturbance.
The American people, who were the
first to recognize the change of govern
ment in Brazil from the imperial to the
republican system, would very greatly
regret to see the republic overthrow
and perhaps some sort of dictatorship
substituted which would keep the coun
try in constant turmoil and furnish a
better opportunity to European powers
to increase their influence there. Doubt
less, there is no danger of a return to an
imperial form of government, but it is
quite possible that something much
worse might happen for Brazil than
was the mild rule of the gentle old en-
peror who died an exile. The wish Of
the American people is that the republic
shall stand, not only because such a
political system Is the best for the Bra

%zilians, but also for the reason that II is
another safeguard against the further
invasion Of this hemisphere by European
political methods. There is already u
very powerful European influence in
Brazil, and it canno be doubted that it
would take the greatest pos sible adj
vantage OF an overthrow Of the republic TO
strengthen its influence and to bring
that country into closer political rela-
tions with the chief countries of Europe.
Such a possibility the people of the
United States cannot regard with entire
complacency.

TT is not easy to ascertain the ex-
act condition of the county treasury.
In response to inquiry made by a repre-
sentative of THE BEE this week, County
Treasurer Trey stated that at this time
II would be a great deal of trouble for
him to figure out the amount OF money
on hand, as he has not yet made his
footings for the month of August,
neither has he struck the balances.
According to Mr.. Trey the balance in
the county treasury at this time is the
lowest that it has been for two years,
but just what that balance is Mr.. Trey
either does not seem disposed or is unable
to state. When pushed for information he
declared that he would have to go to the
banks which were the county deposit
tories and copy the balances which the
bank books show. This is decidedly un-
satisfactory. Why should not the
county treasurer be able TO tell any day
or any hour how much money he has in
his vaults and how much money he has
on deposit in the banks? Incidentally
the question suggests itself whether the
deposits in the banks are drawing In
terest for the county, and on what oondi-
tion the loans have been made. Mr..
Trey, to be sure, gives a bond for $780,
600, but hat is only nominal and in any
event does not justify the loose way Of
keeping accounts Of the county funds.

THE report of an intention on the part
OF New York bankers and brokers to
renew the financial ~stringency in order
to bring a pressure to bear on the senate
in favor of the repeal of the silver pur-
chase law is improbable. Such a move
ment would be more likely to defeat its
purpose than to accomplish any good.
But the repeal men in the senate, who
are in the majority, ought to see that
the public is very much dissatisfied with
the way in which they allow the minor
ity to delay action.
