COMING TO IT.

Mr.. Charles Francis Adams wrote
last December letter to Judge Carey
of Wyoming, which the congressman
read during his speech on the seignior-
age bill. Like General Walkers efforts
it may accelerate the campo ign OF edu-
cation by confusing the gold standard
snobs. Snobbery always treats a mil
iOnaire with respect.
Mr.. Adams used this language:
"When the silver discussion began I
was a gold monometaIlist." 'sI have
since seen occasion to revise this con
clusion." The financial troubles of last
summer have satisfied me that mono
metallic basis is altogether dangerous. y
1.-THE withdrawal of any considerable
quantity of that metal-gold- only
produces the natural amount of distur-
bance, but it. produces probably nearly
20 times as much, owing to the super
structure of credit which necessarily in
modern communities exists on a basis
of precious metal
These few sentences from the letter
are so southwestern in flavor that we
can almost imagine that Silver Dick
himself wrote them.
Mr.. Adams follows General Walker.
He believes that bimetallism can be Sc
cured only by cooperation among the
great commercial nations.
But Mr.. Adams conclusion is not as
important as his premises. In the
course of the letter he assents to nearly
all the propositions upon which the
southwest has founded its free coinage
crusade of the past 20 years. If Massa-
chusetts had favored those propositions
in 1878 free coinage bill would have
been passed when gold and silver were
so nearly together in price that no dis
turbmg effect on contracts would have
been felt.
There are very few men in America
who have had wider experience in bust
ness than Charles Francis Adams. He
controls Investments in several western
cities, has been president of the Union
Pacific and is the trusted adviser of
very large investing interests in new
England and Europe. His position has
required him to study finance and pro
duction. When he says that he has
.sseen occasion to revise his conclu-
sion, it means that bitter experience
has taught him what it has taught the
producing classes of the southwest.
Gold recommendation is uncertainty
in finance and depression in trade.
That much Mr.. Adams is convinced of,
since his conversion.
We could not ask much more of him
yet. A little later, if Europe vii. not

are pieces of paper is
sued by the government and backed up
by the wealth of the nation
What, then, is the difference between
bonds and greenbacks you ask.
This difference:
The bonds draw interest and are in
demand by the shylocks.
The greenbacks do not draw interest
but are in great demand by the people.
This being fact, it does indeed seem
queer that Carlisle issues bonds for
Wall street and Lombard street gold
when the gold states of the west offer
him all their gold for greenbacks.
YesI It does seem queer to those who
do not understand the situation, but it
does not appear queer to people of the
west who see Rothschilds' agents out
here quietly buying up the gold for the
national bankers in order to get con-
troll of the output. If we had a man in
the United States treasury today i'm
bued with honest, patriotic, American
sentiments we would see stop to this
sort of business in very short time.
The time is very rapidly approach
ing when these ghouIs will be dubbed
off with the butt end of a musket.-

The Golden State, one of our Cali
fornia exchanges, tells of converse
ton between a Republican and Pop
ulist. The Populist was speaking of
the small amount of money when the
Republican said there was as much as
ever had been. The Populist wanted
to know where it was and the Republi-
can triumphantly replied that it was
in the banks. There was pause and
the Republican spoke of the terrible
effects of the drouth then prevailing,
but the Populist insisted that there
was as much water as ever. The Re
publican wanted to know where it was,
and the Populist replied that it was in
the ocean.

CoxEY's army is on the march to
Washington. Thousands of weary men
are going to the seat of the national
government to demand relief from the
conditions that threaten to either
starve them or to make them bonds
men. Little hope is held that congress
will endeavor to help them out in their
distress. The only good that this de-
monstration will do is to enlighten the
people as to danger of the masses,
brought about by pernicious and unjust
legislation, which has always been in
favor of the wealthy and against the
Door.

''MoNEY is for two purposes only"
said Peter W. Talbot, who committed
suicide in.Detroit; first, to furnish the
necessaries of life for ones self; next,
to relieve the suffering and distress of
ones fellow men," 1t is pity that the
man who, in his prosperity, not only
preached but practiced these noble
principles should have lost courage
when he found himself confronted with
poverty. Certainly the philosophy
from which he drew these conclusions
should have supported him through a
season of temporary reverse and disap-
pointment

WE ARE now in the midst of one of
those crushing depressions. We have,
l hope, passed its crisis. 1t has brought
millions in this heaven-favored land to
miseries and suffering such as barbar-
ians never knew, except in years of
famine, but which some fault in our
existing civilization intensifies with
every advance that we make in material
progress. Every such depression in
creases the number and proportion of
landless people and enormously in
creases the concentration of land
ownership. A million of homes will
pass away from their occupants to the
ownership of the landed class during
this depression alone. Nearly all the

Soft sleeps the earth in moonlight bIest;
Soft sleeps the bough above the nest;
Ger lonely depths the whippooFwill
Breathes one faint note and all is still.
Sleep, little darling, night is long
Sleep, while sing thy cradle song.
About thy dreams the dropping flower
Blows her sweet breath from hour to hour,
And white the great moon spreads her wings,
While low, while far, the dear eartfrswings.
Sleep, little darling, all night long r
The winds shall sing thy slumber song.
Powers of the earth and of the air -
Shall have thee in their mother care,
And hosts of heaven, together preS4,
Bend over thee, their last, their best.
Hush little darling, from the deep
Some mighty wing shall fan thy sleep.
