National Watchnan: When you
hear silver discussed, remember that
when the secretary of the treasury
was asked to lay before congress, the
parties who were calling loudly for,
the repeal of all silver laws, that he
aid not send in one single applicant,
except large moneyed concerns and
boards of trade.
The Vanguard: Ye good. easy,
comfortable American middle-class.
who can rule this nation in righteous
ness if you will, but decline to take
the necessary time and trouble, when
stunning crash comes one of these
days you may deny all responsibility
for the calamity, but you will suffer
from it's effects just the same.
Farmers Tribune: Personal lib
erty is good thing or a bad thing
in the degree in which it is INDUCED
Or controlled The personal liberty
that invests a few men with the
power to arrange train of circum-
stances that puts in operation forces
shat rob nation of 65,OOo,OOO of
people is bad thing for the nation.
Progressive Farmer: A New York
scientist has figured it out that the
millennium is nigh at hand. OF
course it is. The Republicans and
Democrats are already lying down
together at Washington 1t won't
be much trouble now for the lion and
lamb to begin to snooze in each
others arms and the job will be COM
plete. Just as soon as Grover and
his Wall street friends get all the
money. the show will begin.
Chicago Free Trader: There would
be no coal combines if the coal bust
ness was in the hands of the govern
ment The monopolists did not
make the coal; God did, and for all
his children. Think what grand
thing it would be for all our people
if the coal mines we're owned and
managed by Uncle Sam for the benefit
Of all the people, Think of trans
portatlon at cost! The Millennium
would be on the road then, sure!
Chicago Express: 1t has been said
shat in case of war with En- gland
over Hawaii, Canada or the Behring
sea dispute, Cleveland, from lack OF
experience, would make a poor ..com-
mander-in-chief'' of the army and
navy. In the first place we are not
going to have war with England dur
ing Cleveland's term, not if we have
to yield to every demand made by
the English. As to Cleveland's wal
record. didn't he go to war some
thirty years ago, and get killed-by
proxy? Where one is not sufficiently
courageous and patriotic to risk his
precious life in battle the next best
thing to do is to send man who
possesses these soldierly qualifica
-tions-which Cleveland did
Chicago Sentinel: Government
bonds are becoming SO scarce that
the existence Of national banks are
threatened on that account NJ
bonds means no national bank cur
rency. In order to get more bond:
the national bank syndicate is max
ing raid on the national treasury
for the purpose of skinning out wha
little gold Uncle Sam has got OF
hand. The offer of a few millions o
gold by banks made severa
weeks agO-was done to run the pub
lie off the scent of the right track
We need more bonds, say the bank
ers, Or we must give up our currenc,
and our charters. The only way t,
get the bonds is to make a raid OF
that .sgold reserve" and compel tn
government to issue new bonds to ge
it back. 1t is q great scheme It i
Il conspiracy.
