Friends of the White Metal.

The silver men do not for a moment
allow that the majority of the people are
gOldbugs. They say that while we are
kept well informed by the press as to the
attitude of the boards of trade in various
portions of the country toward the sill
yer question, by the publication Of reso-
lutions demanding the instant repeal of
the Sherman law, we hear very little of
the views of the real wealth producers
of the country.
They point to the fact that the mem
bers of three large and influential organ
izatiOns-the American Federation of
Labor, the Farmers Alliance and the
knights of LabOr-haye decided opin
ions upon this subject, and all are tnC
earnest friends of the white metal. For
instance, a member of the executive
committee of the American Federation
attended the silver convention in Chica-
go and stated that he was authorized to
say that GI,000 members of that body
were advocates of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. T. V. Powderly said
the Knights of Labor stood solidly for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
on ratio of Is to /, while the Farmers
Alliance, as is well known, is a unit in
favor Of silver.
1t is further claimed that the masses
of the people in the south and west not
belonging to any of the organizations
named are opposed to the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman law. It must be
admitted that here in the east, even in
Meriden, there are a surprisingly large
number of wageworkers who, while ia.
voring the repeal of the silver purchase
law, are strongly opposed to uncondi-
tional repeal and believe, as did both the
Democrats and Republicans in their last
national conventions, in the use of both
gold and silver as standard money!

The American people are above their
presidents and their parties. They make
and they can break them. The political
Judases of beth parties who were elected
on pledges given to bimetallism, which
they are now brazenly repudiating, will
be held to stern accounting by the peo-
pie whom they are betraying. They
may as well, every one of them, get
ready to go out and hang themselves as
soon as they have finished the dishonor-
able work of trampling upon all the
promises and understandings whereby
they won their present opportunity to
serve the money power and play the pee

THE INEVITABLE RESULT.
The Republican Party Must Disappear and
the Democrats VIII Re Ousted

The Republican Party Must Disappear and
the Democrats Will Be Ousted.
The year 1893 will be memorable as
the period Of great exhibitions. The ex-
hibition at Chicago is an epitomized
demonstration Of what labor has done
for the world, while the one now being
enacted upon the stage of the whole con-
hnent shows how class laws, iInbecile
administrations and recrelnt congresses
can curse a whole people. The one
demonstrates the incalculable blessings
which genius, art and industry have
given to the world, the other how little
greed is willing to yield in return.
The presidents message has drawn
the line of battle. 1t is az admirable in
this respect as it is detestable in all 9TH
ers. It demonstrates the entire inabili-
ty of the administration and its advisers
to comprehend the wants Of the people
or the conditions of public opinion.
They are as blind to the real situation
and as deaf to the sufferings of the people
as were Louis XVI and his advisers when
the French revolution burst upon the
world.
The message is causing a complete re-
alignment in politics, with the Repub-
hcan party no longer an important fac
tor in the national field. All who favor
an American system of finance which
shall include the free coinage of silver
at the time honored ratio of l6 to 1, AL
an adequate volume of circulating IL.
dunn, will now stand together under one
banner. And all who favor the English
system of finance, with a single gold
standard, will rally to the support Oh the
administration. There is no middle
ground. The sequel will show that the
president by his message has killed two
birds with one stone.
There is no demand for two gold par.
Ties In this country, so the Republican
party must disappear, and the Democrat
ic party will be driven from power.
When the free soil elements came out
of the Democratic and Wing parties in
antebellum days, the proslavery ele-
ments followed their example and
focked together. So now history is re-
peating itself, and free silver men and
antimOnopOliSts on the one hand and
those who favor the British system Of
finance on the other are going together
into their respective camps.
This is the inevitable. Nothing can
stop it. No amount Of tinkering will
head off the movement.-James B. Wea-
yer.

Farmers. Study the Question.

If farmers will study the influences
that make wheat sell for AZ cents, they
will soon be able to get better prices.
They can easily realize twice as much

things won't hurt you. You needn't be.

the white buffalo remained right in the

lucky shot dropped a cow in the center
and well in advance of the herd. Then
the bunch split, one-half turning sharp
to the right, and the other half keeping
right on. Among those turning to the
right was the white buffalo. As the

While the walks. in the Public Garden

we're mortified to see man suddenly plunge

While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-

weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About o'clock last night
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel

from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
