in the greatest OF all, the press, to ignore
che question Of manhood in the exslts-
tion Of wealth.
There Is too strong q tendency in all
these great powers and representatives
Of public opinion to forget the rights Of
the citizen in the mad haste to secure
the rights Of the dollar. The trend Of
legislation is toward the domain Of prop
erty and away from the precincts OF the
fireside. The United States Is the re-
public Of humanity. Kingly preroga-
tives, whether issued from the throne Of
King George in ITS or from King Gold
in 1893, will not be obeyed on American
soil. There is no right to govern, save
to govern we'll. We are no longer colo
nies. We are not wards Of Britain or Eu-
rope. We framed our own Declaration Of
Independence, adopted our own Consti-
tuition, enacted our own laws, fought for
our own liberties and affirmed our abil-
ity to preserve our own union, without
the aid Of any foreign power, and in spite
Of them. To say now, in q time of pro-
found peace, with our national debt
nearly iquidsted, with the dawn Of q
new century close at hand, that the de-
cision Of London or Europe or India
shall dictate the financial policy OF this
nation is the madness Of modern politics;
cOWsrdiCe Of a craftsmanship blind to
the needs of the toilers and the home;
deaf TO the demands OF business, and
utterly unmindful Of the great truth
upon which our government rests, that
all laws, all platforms, all orseds must
be made in the interest Of humanity and
not for the upbuilding Of things. The
nations Of the old world may build the
golden calf but it will never be wor-
shipped by American CitizenShip.-

Bland on Silver.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 28.-Congress-
man r. p. Bland, the champion Of free
silver said here in an interview yester-
day, regarding the suspension Of free
coinage by India:
"Heroic measures will be required on
the part Of this government for the re-
monetizatlon of silver. The demonitiza-
ton Of silver is meant by it's authors to
have an effect upon our Legislators in
favor Of the gold standard. There may
be some timid persons who will be in
fluenoed thereby.
"No. Most emphsticslly l do not
think it is Knockout for silver in this
country. On the contrary, think that
if congress does not adopt some measure
looking to bi-met8llic standard it will
make the battle Of standards the coming
issue in the country. The battle will
disrupt political parties and cause q
contest between the commercial centers
and the agricultural districts Of the ooun-
try.
"The masses Of the people Of the
Mississippi valley and the southwest will
not submit to the single gold standard,
and any political party seeking to force
it upon them will be repudiated.
"Ths issue Of the new party will then
either take the form Of the remonetizs-
ton Of silver or the issuing Of paper fat
money. We will not submit to the gold
standard or the controlling Of money by
banking institutions. II silver is finally
demonetized gold will 90 with it. They
came together; they will go together.
"Free coinage Of silver is demanded
by the lRboring classes, and this is what
free silver men viii now demand Of con-
gress. The commercial centers are try
ing TO force the gold standard upon US
and we will not submit, no matter what
political party combines with them to
force Us.

splracy between the banking institutions

The Fight Is On.

The greatest battle for human freedom
is now being fought. The conspiracy Of
all the bankers of Europe and England
and Wall street to reduce the standard
OF all values to the single item of gold
alone is aH attempt TO make it possible
to control the finances Of al the earth.
A moments reflection will explain
what this means. 1t not only covers the
right to fix the rates Of interest but to
govern the prices Of every product Of Ia
Dor and the farm throughout the known
world. The battle is on. 1t cannot
cease now until the issue is decided. The
victory will be for the $4,000 or for the
untold millions who farm and toll, manu-
fscture and barter.
Every dollar should DO the equal Of it's
neighbor and be worth 100 cents. That
standard all agree is the correct starting
point The issue is not upon that point,
but the fight is FOR quantity. II the
250 900 can demonetize all metals but gold
then they can demonetize all paper
money. The real question Is, shall the
money Of the people be made in the in
terest Of the people or FOR the benefit Of
the $4,000? How other nations may
solve this problem is not the question to
be solved by American citizens. How
shall it be settled in the United StatesP
That's the question. What is best for
the American peopleS That is the real
issue. The Wall street msnipulators
and the presses they own and the Anan-
Ciers they control IN the west, all say
this question must be settled to suit
Wall street. That is the whole thing in
nutshell. They say to Kansas, close
down the smelters, shut down the mines
in Colorado, then you can sell all your
butter and eggs and grain and live stock
in New York, and pay the freights, and
Wall street will dictate the terms. "We
will see about that" say the people Of
the west. Parties may divide, and old
ties may be broken as they were when
the slave oligsrchy said that the north
west had no rights the party leaders
were bound to respect America Is ma
tion now. II English influence In Wall
street has not learned that, it will learn
it when the votes are counted at the
next general election. Take sides; the
battle is on. Crack your whip, Mr..
Cleveland. Turn the screws little
closer, Mr.. Wall Street. Yell honest
dollar" a little louder, Mr.. Subsidized
Press. Hunt your holes little faster,
Mr.. Office Seeker. The battle is on, and
do not forget that God rsigna, the people
rule and the ballot box cannot be pur-
chased, bulldozed or dsstroyedl-Atchi-

THE GOLDEN CALF.

business interests OF the western STATES
in their insane desire to demonetize sill
YER and reduce the circulating medium
of the country to gold alone. The real
intent is to build up the few at the ex-
pense Of the many. It is the same old
contest Of all the ages and it will endure
so long as time shall last unless settled
in behalf of the majority. The Ameri-
can people will soon make it known that
manhood alone is the standard OF Amer
icsn citizenship. The strongest fealty
to the rights Of man is the highest 10y
atty to the American flag. Any doctrine
in opposition to this is contrary to the
spirit and genius Of American citizen
ship.
The man who owns hundred thou.
sand head Of cattle Is too apt to think
that the laws governing live stock and
the sale Of beef should be made by the
owners Of the large herds, and that the
hundred thousand consumers who buy
his beef, or the thousand farmers with
each only ten head Of cattle, should not
be consulted in such affairs. The gold
owners of the world are the implacsbls
foes Of human liberty and the great
stumbling blocks in the path Of human
progress. Gold is the impersonstion Of
sel6shness. 1t is the incarnation of lust
and greed.
Gold never built happy home, wiped
away tear, removed sorrow or carried
a flush Of Joy to any human household.
Gold is the refinement Of all the mlserly
passions. It is the foundation of tyranny
in business, a monarchy in society and q
hesrtless despot in government. Gold
never built railway, factory, or steam
ship. 1t never equipped navy or army
and never fought q battle. 1t is the
weapon Of misers, ShylOcks and gam
blers; an usurious friend in peace and
public robber in time of war.
The wonderful material progress of
the United States during the past three
decades has not been made, through the
aid Of gold, but in spite Of it. When the
life Of the nation hung trembling in the
balance during the war Of rebellion, gold
fled from the country in panic Of mis-
erly fear. 1t has drained from the public
treasury millions upon millions of inter
est and has given nothing but threats Of
reputation and disaster in return. Gold
prides itself upon its scarcity. 1t says:
II am the only real money on earth; fall
down and worship me. 1 establish rates
of interest, prices Of the farm products
and the market value Of lands, houses,
and manufactured goods. am the
golden calf before whom all the nations
of the earth must bow and render hom-
age"
Gold is the worlds most dangerous
conspirstor and the most decisive and
implscsble foe OF humanity. 1t is blood
less, fRithless and inhuman.
1t is the height Of extreme folly to say
that this question Of gold standard is
purely business one, to be treated in ac-
cordsnce with the views Of kingdoms
and despotisms across the seas. Nay, it
is notsonly folly, but shameless disre-
gard OF the rights OF man. America was
built for humanity. The United States
represents the idea of self government
by the people. Not the people of Eng

There is no popular opposition to the in
come tax. In the nature of things there
could not be unless it were worked up by
fictitious means. The people when well in
formed may be relied upon to know wherein
their interests lie. In this case 1t needs
but the most ordinary common sense to see
that only the unpatriotic rich man breads
the income tax, and that all those who have
merely moderate or scanty means have rea =.
sons TO desire it. On the lips of the rich
man the plea that the income tax is inquisi-
torial convicts him at once of selfish sophis-
try.
Where there is no effort at dishonest con
cealment there would, In all human proba-
bility, be no annoying inquisition If any
official overstepped the bounds of discretion
in this particular he could very easily be
found guilty and punished.
When there Is such dishonest effort il
would be only just and proper that there
should be nquisition of the most severe and
searching character, the same that is now
applied to suspected smugglers and moon
shine" distillers.

A NEW VOLUME.

With the last issue the SENTINEL closed

Der enters upon its 39th.
Thirty eight years is u long period to have
stood guard over the public interest, zeal.
ously and continuously advocating every
enterprise that may have had for Its object
the public good. Yet, we indulge the idea,
that moments retrospect will disclose TO
many much older than the present manage,
ment, the fact, that such has been the steady
and constant purpose of the SENTINEL dur
ing these many long years. A party jour.

and honorably the great principles of the

BILE exponent, il has ever been Jealous of
every movement that tended to strengthen
and adorn our social and moral organiza

throw the weight of its influence In behalf
Of the establishment of those measures which
have developed and blessed our people with
unsurpassed prosperity.
Since its establishment, old actors Ia the
part ii has played, as well rs old friends,
have disappeared and new ones have taken
their places. Old faces have been constantly
vanishing and new ones constantly coming
into view. Tremendous enterprises have
been looming up with all the fury of

prejudices aud private feuds have come and
gone rs come and go the pillows Of an angry
ocean, but amidst all the SENTINEL has
stood firm at its post
Honest in Its convictions, il has never
been afraid Ia avow or defend Its principles.

great motive power to success in every grade

branch of industry, every avenue of trade,
every vocation and professional has at all
times aud under all circumstances s,riyen
TO keep pace with advanced thought
whilst It's general selections, literary, social
aud otherwise have been made to the same
purpose. Such has been the course of the
SENTINEL throughout its long career, and
snch II will continue to be under the pres
ent management
The past year has been full OF care aud
labor. Both have been amply rewarded
our circulation has increased, whilst our ad.
yertising columns are freighted down To
their utmost capacity. This is not only
refreshing, but gratifying reflection. More
than all this, we have been the recipient of
much encouragement and numerous con.

Stimulated by such good will and en-
enlargement we hope and will strive TO
make the SENTINEL more agreeable CON

NO POPULAR OPPOSITION.

No argument which is anything more
than special plea has yet been invented In
opposition to the graduated income tax.
We are told that il would be inquisitorial.
Need honest men fear inqusition in a coun.
try where liberty and justice prevailY Isit
more inquisitorial than the custom law or
the internal revenue SYSTEM
Only one class of men fear inqulsltion,
the purpose of which is in itself honest and
reasonable. No purpose can be more so
than 10 raise the revenue of the Govern.
ment in the easiest, most direct aud most
equitable manner.
Taxation of incomes is the sole tax of
these modern times, except that upon in.

INDIA DEMONETlZEs .sTL YER


The most startling event in the history of
silver of recent years was the demonetiza.
ton of silver by the India Council, on Mon.
day OF last week. This step has been in
contemplation for a number of years, and
the East Indian Government has urged the
Home Government to come to some agree
ment with that of the United States looking to
the maintenance of the value Of silver. This
was what led to the International Monetary
Conference at Brussels at which the English
representatives would do nothing, and those
of other nations followed their lead. In the
meanwhile the gold value of the rupee-the
standard of value in Hindostan-has fallen
from 80 cents in 1884 to under 30 cents at
the present time.
The final step Of closing the Hindoo minis
to silver seems to have been precipitated by
the failure of the Brussels congress and the
fear that the United States Congress would
repeal the Sherman act
This will be a terrible blow to the Hindoos
All their wealth is in silver, or measured by
silver. They have been the greatest con.
sumers of silver in the world, as they invest
all their savings in silver, which they carry
about them in the shape Of personal orna.
ments. AS the population of Hindostan
Is ABOUT 3OO,OO0OOO, nearly one fifth the peo
pie of the whole world, it will be seen that
the quantity of silver they require is enor
nous.
The news of the decentralization immedi
ately sent the price of silver IN London down
TO 7S3 cents an ounce, the lowest figure that
has been known, aud about four cents less
than the United States Treasury has been
paying. The highest price paid for silver
In this country followed the passage of the
Bland bill in 1878, when 1t went up TO $l.22
II then began falling. and dropped to 9s cts
an once until the passage of the Sherman
act, in August, 1890, sent it up TO $l.2l.
Since then 1t has fallen steadily to figures
above named.
1T is calculated that the Government of
Hindostan will have to withdraw from cir
culation about 10000 900 rupees, and re.
place them with 100000 of gold" 1t is
hoped that this will be facilitated by the
coming into circulation of immense quaint.
ties OF gold which are boarded in Hindostan,
but which have not hitherto found their way
into circulation, owing TO the prevalence of
the single standard of silver. In the last
ilty years India has imported $500 100000
OF gold, but has coined but 1889 300 rupees
and II is expected that the remainder will
now come into circulation.
