Prophetic Words.

The immortal James e.. Blaine, who
all fair minded and unbiased men de-
lighted to point to with pride before his
death. and who as political refOrmer.
stood head and shoulders above his
party, was populist on the money
question. 1t is amusing to see how the
republican press throughout the coun-
try steers clear of these breakers: and
while eulogizing the name and memory
of James G.. Blaine, they fail To give
utterance To those memorable words
uttered by him when the fight to kill
silver. came To his notice. Listen to
his prophetic words:
Il believe that the struggle now 90
ing on in this country and in other
countries for d single standard would.
if successful, produce widespread dis
aSter Ill and throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver as
money aud the establishment of gold as
the sole unit of value. must have a ruin
Gus effect on all forms If property, eX-
cept those investments which yield a
fixed return in money. These would be
enormously enhanced in value and
would gain dispropOrtionate and un-
fair advantage over every other species
of property. If, as the most reliable
statistics affirm, there are nearly 5000
100000 of coin or bullion in the world
not very unequally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible to strike
the silver out of existence as money
without results that will prove distress
ing to millions and utterly disastrous to
tens of thousands

Good TimeS-Fair Wages.

In 1865 | came to Marshall county
and found all prosperity. Everybody
at work at good wages. Common day
labOrers received from 1925 to $3.50
per day, mechanics from 500 to $3.50
per day and plenty of work for all, and
cash in hand every night if wanted.
The farmer was getting fair prices
for all his farm products; wheat being
about $3.50 to 800 per bushel, farm
hands We're fairly paid by the month or
day and had no trouble to get the cash
for their labor when due. Horses and
cattle and hogs bringing quadruple to-
days prices or more.
had little house repairing to do,
and almost had to get down on my
knees, begging carpenters at 500
painters the same plasterers at 500
and 500 per day to do the work | re-
quired. So busy were they all, and only
by allowing some of the workmen to do
their work at night, could | secure
workmen To finish my buildings at all.
Shortly before the time of Cleveland's
last election | had a days work at side
walk building to do, and feel safe in
saying that over score of carpenters
came to me begging that they ought to
be allowed to build that sidewalk, even
at SO low price as 40 cents a day. \
large number of these carpenters beg
ging for work at 80 cents a day, were
those who in 1865 had been begged to
work at 81 day and had refused to do
it for cash, although they offered to do
the work for 80 cents per day and take
pay in almost any sort Of store pay, pro-
duce or truck, SO badly off for work and
wages were they.
This is the experience of thousands
who have had little mechanical work
to do within the past dozen years and
it only goes to show, that in 1865 with
our money circulation then at about
So per capita and now the contraction
of our currency to about ST. per capita,
silver demonetized and gold made the
monetary standard, and all legislation
of the past thirty years made in the
interest of the gold sharks favor and
against the interest of the masses that
labor-the farmer, the mechanic and in
fact against everybody except the gold
bug or the monopolist, that time could
not be otherwise but hard and suffering
to be seen all over the land, cursed by
such class laws as have been enacted
within the past thirty years.
The gold sharks have secured perfect
control of the leaders of both old parties
and can force such legislation in their
own interest, they may require to keep
their hold on the threats of the people
With over one half of congress in
both houses made up of national bank
ers and the other half of which three
quarters of them are corporation law
yers, and not single farmer in congress
how can we expect any relief from the
class laws that are cursing the country
of our time. Our taxes are higher to-
day with wheat 10 cents, than when
wheat readily brought $3.50 to $3.50 a
bushel. The salaries of our public of.
ficials are double now what they were
when wheat was near So, and there are
more officials; almost three fold.

HAWKEYE KICKERs.
Distribution OF Committee Places
Raises a Howl

Dies MONIES, To-, Jan. 13.-Since the
announcement of house committees this,
afternoon considerable kicking has
been heard. 1t is the usual thing, but
in the present case it is taken advantage
of as capital in the senatorial contest
The charge is made that chairmanships
ana places on the importa MT committees
are given out in way to increase
Gears strength. 1t is said that men
from the northwest part of the state are
given places, while i'll the southeast,
where Gear could not get anything,
they are badly sighted. Several men
in Gears own district are kicking be-
cause they did not secure places de-
sired, which fact, some claim, gives
ground to the assertion of trades of
chalrmansnipS for votes for senator.
Gears men claim they took no hand
whatever in the matter, and Speaker
Stone, while regretting the dissatisfac-
ton, says he placed men where he
thought they would do the most good.

visited the legislature today, and were
among the members considerable OF The
time, while work at headquarters is
kept up as lively as ever. The seHti-
ment is about evenly divided OIL the
committee question, and it is not
thought that it will have influence one
way or the other in the contest. There
will be caucus Monday night, and
voting begins in both houses next Tues
day at noon.

The Twenty thousand Dollar
Purse Ready for the Fight.
JAcKsoNvILL, Fla. Jan. IT, The
members of the Duval Athletic club
this afternoon deposited the $4,000
purse in the Natl onal Bank of Jackson
vile. Although a check for that amount
was already on deposit. it was secured
by the signatures Of President Mason
and Manager Bowden, of New York.
This afternoon the members of the club
deposited individual checks in the ratio
of their holdings of stock in the club to
the required amount. This relieves
Bowden and Mason of their personal
responsibility, had the other members
failed to make good their share OF the
purse.

Bad Buffer.
BUFFALO. n. Y, Jan. 13.-The Com
mercial today prints letter from
James j. Corbett. under date of Jan. IL,
in which he says:
The true state of things in Florida is
not being sent over the wires to the
newspapers. We wish the contest to
take place, and they do not allow
MitchelPS strange actions to be known,
because they want him to go in the
ring, as 1t will be a big news. The

fellow like two-year-old baby in

All sorts of inducements were
Offered him, financial and other

every way III order 10 entice him into
meeting me, l offered to go anywhere
in the state, as there is no law here
against US. and they cannot modest us
after the fight, if it cores off: but he
refused to do as did. and insisted on
st. Johns or Duval county as the meet
ing place, and ne must have notice and
know the place ahead. Do you
know why? Because he wants

case it is decided to bring the COMETS
off secretly. He did this before when
he was matched with tenth-rater like
Shade. Why should he not do it now?.
He is the gamer of the contest if it is
stopped, and he must have something to
live on. He has existed and gained the
nOtoriety he has by fighting John l..
Sullivan a draw. He never did any
thing else. He never showed
sign of wanting to go
to a finish, although repeatedly
challenged. He stated in New York
two years ago that he would never fight
to finish again. Why? Because Sui
livan was still champion, and his chest
was out with the reputation of having
fought draw. Sullivan's defeat took
him Off his perch. and now he thinks by
showing desire to meet me and
having the fight stopped he can
exist on the reputation Of his So
called gamenesS. He insisted on bring
ing the match off at Roby, because
he knew il was all impoSsiblity there.
He did not sign with Coney Island until
he had inside information that the con-
test would not be allowed. He refused

countered many hard shots, and ne did

scented themselves. Thayer was
really cooler than ever, and he
fitted about from the start as though
confident of victory. He lowered over

obedient to his will. took their proper
positions and enabled him to come out
an easy winner. AS matters now stand,
