A TRIBUTE TO sILvER's CHAM
PIONS.

Now that the gallant, patriotic and
fearless Senators who have been fighting
so long and so brsvely when everything
seemed so gloomy and dark, can see the
light on the horizon Of success, they
should receive the plaudits of the coun-
try they have rescued from impending
ruin. The Senators who have won this
great victory for the people, particu.
larry those who represent Colorado and
Nevada, are entitled to general thanks
and congratulations. They have braved
and faced down the loudest and most in
solent clamor that was ever raised
against members Of our national Senate
chamber. Many newspapers Of leading
rank have for weeks attempted to bully
them in the name Of an alleged public
opinion that has never existed. Reso-
~lutions designed to stampede them have
been passed in bank p%srlors and by
boards Of trade pretending to repre-
sent the business sentiments Of their
communities, but in reality representing
nobody but the selfish opinion Of bank
ers and brokers, the usury mongers and
stock gamblers Of Wall street and its
affiliated money spiders in all the COM
mercial centers Of the land.-Virginis

London Truth has greatly shocked
New York by declaring that the Amer

snubbed on every hand over there. Il

News comes from Washington that
President Cleveland has virtually closed
the White House against personal visit
ors. He gives as an excuse that he is
preparing his message which must be
delivered to Congress in December.
The extra session has been Q disappoint-
ment to him. To say that he is irritated
by the failure of the Senate following
the course pursued by the House in ref
erence to the repeal Of the Sherman law,
is putting the case mildly. He is no
doubt fully satisfied that he cannot force
his pet scheme through the Senate at
this extra session. He will nurse his
wrath to keep it warm until he can give
vent to his feelings in his December
message. The probability is il will be .
redhot document, and those who are Of
the opinion now that he is only a dictator
will become fully convinced. We think,
after reading his forthcoming message,
that he is a veritable tyrant.

METALLIC FIAT MONEY.

were it not for the free coinage of gold,
and the Acts of the English Parliament

gold dollar would be on just the same
basis as the silver dollar is to-day.
Most people do not now even know that
the pure gold in our double eagles is

opinion she would prove an utter failure

that the vigilaut is in constant danger
Of breaking up and that her design is
faulty. The best evidence Of success,
however, is success, and the fact that

When the great question Of slavery
was being discussed by the people every
where, the wealth of the country, the
church, the fashionable class and the
popular scamp Of party politics were ell
on the side Of the great wrong whose re-
movsl was the proposition Of the party
opposed to the further existence or
spread Of human slavery. The balance
Of the history Of the opposition is world
wide. At this moment another pre-
cisely such position Of two parties OF the
people is being established. and the
cause Of it is q national question as i'm
portsnt and as momentous as the one
which plunged the whole nation into
war. Slowly, but as surely Is the day
wanes and the night comes again, the
consequence Of the discussion OF the
present great financial problem will come
over this land as completely as the past
war affected every part Of the country
BY its great call for men and means.
The whole problem is, finally. one OF
war barely. and the question involved by
the war will be but the question Of bat
tie when armies are pitted against armies
on the fields Of mortal conflict. Every
person Of intelligence will then remem.
Der who provoked his feelings upon the
subject, and who stood by his path to
change his course in his pursuit Of bust
ness and pleasure. The party whose
burden il Is to build q new plank in the
nations path Of prosperity will be all
but demolished by p~rejudices and prae-
tees before any great movement by it
is possible for the accomplishment OF it's
purpose, but like all great movements
it's popularity must stand upon it's mis-
and be built by its foes Of pride
and popular place.
To-day the gold party is finding favor
in the church, college and everywhere
popular opinions are accepted, and
bigotry is bathing the forehesds
of the people with sponges OF its "
construction, and where the people means
the few having property, and the masses
means the people without property.
The huckster Of buncombe and boast and
threat and popular claim is finding occs'
ZION at present to use his wits to oppose
The better principle Of public nature,
md for a time yet he can fill the ar
such offerings OF his mind and
ceilings. Gradually, but surely, the
party puts forth its aspect on

THE SITUATION In WASHING
TON.

The Congressional muddle seems -
far from solution a. ever and the silver
men appear TO be masters Of the situs-
tion. Cleveland does not want TO con-
sent to any compromise on the silver
question. Some OF the Senators who
are anxious TO effect . compromise want
TO couple the same with IN issue OF gold
bonds to suit the Eastern contingent.
Others Of the same class are opposed to
issuing bonds and advocate the repeal OF
the ten per cent tax on State bank
issues which in turn is opposed BY those
fsvoring the bond issue. At the same
time the Industries OF the country are
paralyzed by the uncertainty OF what
form the promised tariff legislation is
going to assume, and when il at all any
such legislation will be contaminated.
The Democracy, under the lead OF Die
tator Cleveland. in ignoring the de-
mands of the people generally and his
party in particular. is fast losing the
only opportunity they have enjoyed
since the war Of enscting legislation for
the benefit Of this country. With .

accomplished all those reforms and have

and industrial prosperity such as has not
been enjoyed for many years before the

however, Cleveland has chosen TO ignore
