The following paragraphs are taken
from the new silver paper in Chicago,
Coin:
The gold bug press is appalled, at
the thought Of ''cheap money" Cheap
farm products, however, do not dis
turb their dreams.
Nature makes no mistakes. The
precious metals are found side by side
in the mines Of the United States, and
at q rate Of about l6 to l.
II the world would demonetize gold
to-day, what would il be worth per
ounce ten years hencei II is the de-
mand for the thing and the limit to
it's production that gives il value.
The difference between monometallists
and biinetallists is that one wants ell
debts paid In that we do not have and
cannot get, and the other wants them
paid in what we have or can get.
The price Of everything is fixed by
those who want IL. Wall street don't
want silver. and says that the silver
In . dollar Is worth about s. cents.
The people who do want IL say il Is
worth 100 cents.
The advocates of q single standard are
constantly harping about an ''hopest
dollar" Is . dollar honest that IL
worth three times as much to-day as
it was two decades ago, measured by
labor and the products Of toll?

THE SECTION WHICH CAUSED
THE PRESENT TROUBLE.

In his address Of welcome to the dele
gates to the Bimetallic Convention Car
ter Harrison said: 'If the action Of
1873 should be blotted from the annals
of American political action I believe
silver would be worth 81 20 ar ounce"
This is from a gold man. The Chicago
Times, Of which Mr.. Harrison is editor
and proprietor, has steadily taken the
gold side of the controversy. He is OPP
posed to bimetsllism-not on principle,
but because Of the difficulties in the way
of getting back to that standard.
The Act Of 1873 was the first legisls-
tion since the meeting of the First Con-
gress touching upon the money standard.
The Act Of 1892 made silver the unit Of
value. II provided for the coinage Of
gold eagles to be Of the value Of ten
dollars Tor units) and of smaller coins
based upon the same standard. The
standard was not changed until the Act
Of 1873, which made no provision for
the coinage Of silver, but which reduced
the silver h~alf-dollar to 1872 grains. SEQ
tion IA Of the Act of 1873 is the cause
Of the present trouble. 1t reads:
THAT the gold coins Of the United
States shall be q ~one.dollar piece, which.
at the standard weight Of 25.s grains.
shall be the unit Of value; q quarter.eagle,
or two.and.a.half dollar piece; q half.
eagle, or 6ve-dollar piece; an eagle, or
ten.dollar piece. and q double-eagle, or
twenty-dollar piece"
The unit of value was thereby changed
from the silver dollar to the gold dollar.
The Bland Act of 1878 restored the
4l21-grain silver dollar to the list Of
coins and declared it . legal tender for
all debts. The Sherman Act differs
from the Bland Act in not requiring the
coinage Of the silver the Treasury Is re-
quired to purchase. 1t appears. there
fore, that if both the Sherman Act Of
1878 and the Act Of 1873, which is also
known by his name. should be repealed
the country would be thrown back upon
the policy which prevailed up to 1873.
This would probably be more repeating
than Mr.. Cleveland wants done.-Ssn
Francisco Call.

II such q row as that which recently
occurred in the British House Of Com
mons had taken place in the Congress Of
the United States we should have had
ere this . great deal Of moralizing from
the British press, cabled over here for
our edification and improvement. Mr..
Gladstone Is said to have looked upon
the scene with ''horror and amazement."
No wonder. The Irish Parliament,
when II meets, must bestir itself to
make Q record Of NOR blackened eyes
and bruised noses in as short q space Of
time. As for our Congress, IT has never
yet given us reason to hope that II will
be in the competition. But there are
great possibilities in the silver question
afording US something out Of the ordi-
nary when Congress gets its working
harness on.

THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents Message contains
nothing Of q surprise to any one who
has kept track Of Mr.. Cleveland's past
course; nothing else could be expected.
In stating the cause Of the unhappy
state Of the country he does not state
facts. He insists upon the unconditional
repeal Of the Sherman law ss Q panaces
for all our financial ills.
His inaugural on the 4th gave some
slight hope TO the people when he stated
that ell the power Of the Government
would be exercised to keep all the
money Of the United States at parity,
and make every dollar the equal in
intrinsic value and purchasing power.
How be has fulfilled that promise is
now . matter of history. How, on the
the contrary, he has used the whole power
Of the Government to disgrace and dis.
credit silver lie also . matter OF his
tory. And now after having as far
as in his power lies carried out the de-.
mands of Wall street and repudiated
the platform ON which he was elected,
which promised to keep both money
metals at parity, he m out boldly
and informs the public that gold and
silver must part; In. other words. silver
- . money metal must be wiped out,
and gold declared the only standard
value Of measures.

The convention held at Chicago under
the auspices Of the Bimesallic League
was the largest. brAiniest and most re-
spectacle assemblage Of the kind ever
held in the country. The unanimity Of
sentiment in favor OF the restoration Of
silver to the position IL occupied before
the decentralization Act Of 1873, was re.
markable. Delegates from New York
and the Middle States were enthusiastic
for free coinage at the rate Of l6 to l as
we're those from the West and South,
aud they We'd with the representatives
of the silver States in their devotion to
the silver cause. The character and
recognized ability Of the men who COM
posed il proves that the free coinage
sentiment Is general aud the people will
overthrow the gold trust ct the ballot
box il congress does not at the present
session pass an act to fully remonetizs
silver.-Reno Journal.

THE ComsrocK SITUATION.

A Carson Appeal representative has
been in Virginia during the past few
days cleaning what he could Of the stu.
alton on the Comstock. One member OF
the Miners Union who was interviewed
said: "Our meetings are secret. and L
can give nothing official. You can say
that 10 will be q big surprise II the
miners accept 9 reduction. Our wages
are none too large, and we don't propose
TO work 10 the drifts and inhale the
poisonous gases for less than "a g day,
while men are los6ng in San Francisco
drawing fat salaries as superintendenss
and secretaries OF o dozen different
companies. We have enough money in
our treasury to run us . long time, and
none Of our members who are out OF
employment will suffer. This talk about
putting 1000 men TO work at So . day is
all bosh. II the mine owners meant
business they would put their PROPOSE.
tion in black and white. II they would
put in writing a proposition to put 1000
men on for q year at So so we would
consider IL, but we will not be caught in
. trap"
Another miner said: LET them be-
gin their economy with the mills. Why,
not long ago . mine here lost $1,000 .
month, the mill that crushed the ore
made about 5000 on ID. The mill
stump hole takes the money out Of The
mining industry, and when the mills re-
duce their rates, as they can still make .
profit, there will be no need Of . reduc-
tion Of wages. Let an outsider 60
down to those heated levels and see II
be thinks 81 too much pay. But under
economical management and cheap mill
ing there need be no cut in wages"
The miners asserted that the reports Of
low grade ore were misleading. "Why,
I saw ore in q drift not long ago that
assayed $3.50 q ton and the car samples
Of that same ore were reported 81 $40.
The game has been played a long time
and covered up . great desl Of crooked
work. We see what's going on and
keep our mouths shut. While we know
these things we don't propose to stand 0
reduction in our wages. because we know
that If the mines were honestly man
aged there would be no need Of q reduc-
tiop."
The amount claimed to be in the
treasury Of the Union is $4,000. with
SIO,O 900 promised from the Unions o.
San Francisco and also quite q sum from
Butte, Montana, which on q former
occasion was aided by the Virgins
Miners Union.

Through our Eastern exchanges we
learn that the whole country is alive
In that section with silver men. New
converts are being made or every hand.
The people are beginning to see how
they have been lied TO and robbed dur
ing past years, and their voices are be-
ing raised all over the United States for
Q cessation Of the plundering system
inaugurated by the gold bugs and pluo-
crats. A few days ago q circular letter
was sent out from Boston, the hotbed OF
gold bugism and aristocrcy, BY g. +.
wsshburn, Chairman of the Eastern
| Division Of the National Committee OF
the Peoples Party, conveying his views
on the silver question. It 10 10 part Is
follows:
"The most gigantic trust the world
has wei seen is the present international
bond issuing and boycotting syndicate.
The most colossal conspiracy the world
has ever seen is the present one, orig
mated and guided by Baron Rothschild.
Their silver scheme is an attempt to n
slave q whole world and In o wholesale
manner swindle and plumber Gods pso-
pie.
1.-THE first step in this international
plot on the part of the usurers will be
to further corner our circulation here IN
America and then force an issuance OF
bonds as means Of relief.
"If half the population of the world
use silver and il half the metal currency
is and always has been silver, how can
we increase our volume Of circulation
by striking down one-half the amount!
II the American has been forced to live
off two hungry meals q day and COM
planned Of feeling half starved, who but
q gold bug would dream Of advising him
to eat one meal q day as . sure cure for
hunger.
"This gold trust, which comprises the
leading bankers and usuers Of all coun-
tries, under the leadership Of q grasping
European Jew, is capable Of anything.
No absurdity is too absurd for them TO
offer as an argument, no monstrosity too
monstrous for them to perpetrate as an
act. They are the monarchs of crime.
"Shall we, free-born Americans, we
who threw off the political yoke Of an
English King, bow to the bidding OF .
few foreign-born bankers who have
bought Parliaments and Congresses, and
are trying to dictate our national policy?
Let US break this international servitude.
Let us rally ono moro as an American
people and demand the restoration Of
the money Of our fathers.
1--WE can drive these foreign money
invaders from our shores forever II we
begin right now. The solution Of the
problem ia to be found in the money
plank of the Peoples party platform,
which says: I'VE are in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio Of l6 to L. Now Is our chance to
agitate. Make clear to the people that
if the price of silver goes down, gold
goes up. 1t will take more money from
the wage earners, more merchandise
from the merchants, more wheat, cotton
and corn from the farmers than ever be-
fore to buy the gold dollars Of the bank.
ers-therefore, these wealth.producing
classes must unite to resist this proposed
robbery and oppression"

LErrER FROM CHICAGO.
CHICAGO. Aug. 4, 1898.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4, 1898.
Ed. SENTINEL: The Silver Conven-
tion was . splendid success in every re-
spect. The ability and esrnestness OF
it's members were certain TO impress
even the gold bugs. While ID was pru-
dent and cautious upon the main point
free coinage Of silver upon equal terms
with gold 81 the ratio OF l6 to lit
was not only firm but aggressive. II
was composed OF Democrats, Republi-
cans, Populists, Silver party men and
Prohibitionists; yet its deliberations were
managed with such moderation and skill
that there was no serious clash between
its members upon questions about which
they were apart as the poles, but like
the convention that met In Reno last
year and organized the Silver party by
tacit consent past party affiliations were
pushed aside, differences Of opinion upon
minor questions were forgotten or were
not Extensively intruded upon the con-
vention in the general desire to relieve
the present distress Of the country and
restore 1t to it's old time prosperity by
remonetizing silver.
Powderly stated in q speech upon the
floor Of the convention that every
knight Of Labor in the United States
was in favor Of free coinage. The Popu.
list party, with its million Of votes, Is to
q man in favor Of free coinage. A large
majority Of the Southern States are in
favor of free coinage, and q large booy
of citizens in every State independent Of
the organizations named are in favor Of
free coinage, aud such 3 pressure will be
brought to bear upon the present Con.
gress against the repeal Of the Sherman
Act without o more favorable substitute
that nothing but the use of millions OF
money can counteract, and l doubt the
efficacy Of money with the members OF
Congress. There are already some evi.
dences Of weakening on the part Of the
gold bugs. The main proposition COM
ing from Southern members Of Congress
heretofore silver advocates who have
been captured by the gold bugs is to
adopt q 20 to l ratio, which would make
an ounce of silver worth about 81 03.
1 go to Washington in three or four
days and will try and keep our people
fully informed from day to day in regard
to indications. Yours truly.
