In 1876 We were having just as hard
times as we are having to-day. It fol-
lowed the great Republican panic of
1873. And yet, all of your great daily
papers of to-day, and all Of your lead
ers. are Apologizing for the hard
times, just as if you were responsible
for them. Your great papers and your
leaders are joining your enemies and
concealing the truth about the cause
of the hard times. You are pulling
chestnuts out of the fire for the
monkeys of Wall Street. You are
being made to do the dirty work for
the very men who are responsible for
the present condition of things.
Instead of antagonizing the methods
by which the present hard times were
produced You are simply falling in
line and carrying out the plans of
your enemies. And YOU don't know
enough to know it.
You are too dumb to realize it! You
have not sense enough to understand
that YOU are being led by the nose by
your political bosses right into the
camp Of your oll-time political enemy !!
Have you not a particle of man
hood and spirit left in you? Have
you not decent self respect enough
to join a new party that does not be-
long to the Demo-Republican com

Made An ASS OF Himself.

Governor jackson Of Iowa realizes
by this time that he made great con-
tinental ass of himself by calling out
his cornstalk militia to resist the In
vasion" of his sacred territory by kel-
ley's army of unemployed mechanics.
The state was put to enough expense
10y this move of its fool officials to pay
all the expenses of kellev's men to
Washington and back in Pullman
cars. And after all the military dudes
had nothing to do after they got under
arms in such hurry. Nobody's prop
erty was disturbed or threatened by
Kelley's men. They were all sober
and peaceable and only asked the
poor privilege of being allowed to
walk on the earth. There was moth
ing for the "milish" to shoot at, no.
body did anything to justify arrest,
there was no violence or threat of vio-
lence. No wonder the dude militia
felt very silly as they crawled back
creastfallen and sheepish to their
homes. 1t was historic incident re-
peated:

SO much IS beng printed IN the
papers about the invasion of Coxey's
army, always either ridicule or threat"
Are not the citizens of Washington
we'll aware that ut every session of Con-
gress Washington is invaded by far
more dangerous and much larger army
than anything Coxev can bring here?
Coxey's army comes here merely as a
body of lobbyists, exerting only their
rights rs American citizens, and only
with humble petitions and peaceful ar
guments to induce Congress by these
means, personally applied. to pass
some measure to better the condition
of their fellow-sufferers. Only this
and nothing more. But that other
army comes here i'll great numbers,
better armed and equipped, and plies
members of Congress and the highest
officials of the Government with gold,
wine and women, weapons far more
dangerous to the rights and liberties
of the people than whole tons of dyna
mite, as the result of the last thirty
years amply demonstrates.
Now, there is q little sum in aritl-
metic which Major Moore, Col. Clay
and others of that class in authority
had better con over little before
they incite the bloodthirsty instincts
of their satraps by their nightly street
riot drills. Coxey may not come here
with more than 100 men he may come
with 1000, but back of them is an army
of unemployed which the lowest Stats
ties places ut between 1000, 600 and g.
OOO. 900, and back of these yet an army
of at least 10, 900, 600 more. who, by the
hardest kind of labor, can only earn
enough to keep body and sonl together;
and. back of these yet, is incalculable
army Of sympathizers and sufferers.
These people are thinking harder than
they ever thought before have nothing
to lose, all to gain life is no object to
them. If anything will convert man
into tiger, it is to see his dear ones
suffering for the necessaries of life and
be powerless to help them. The con-
stitution guarantees to all citizens for
ever the right of free assemblage, dis
tinctlv declares that this right shall
never be abridged: the Constitution
does not put it in the power of Major
Moore or any one else to say where
that assemblage shall be held. Les
Major Moore and Col. Clay beware
how they attempt to abridge that con-
stitutional right of the American
citizens. Let them beware how they
incite the forces under them. Times,

By this statement, which is abso-
sutely true and undeniable, it will be
seen that there is debt of $1S,O27,-
17O.54G owed by the people of the
United States alone, and by the report
of the minis of Jan. II, 1891, the total
amount of gold in the world is placed
at 50, 727 ,OiS, 500. This shows that
there is only about one-tifth as much
gold in the whole world as would be
required to pay the debt of one country,
the United States. The balance of the
world, doubtless, owes a combined
debt of many more millions than the
United States, and as all of the
largest nations have the gold basis
system also. the fact that gold has
appreciated so enormously. and every
thing else has deprecated, is not
surprising. 1t is rather q surprise
that there has not been universal
bankruptcy covering the face of the
earth. The panic really has not been
as severe and prover,y Is universal as
the conditions warrant. Then it must
be borne in mind that this small sup
ply Of the worlds gold is controlled
by only few Een.
Now, lay aside all prejudices and
look at this matter calmly and con-
sideratelv. What sort of financial
sense is it that will attempt a single
gold standard in the United States
when We owe alone three times more
than il represented by the entire gold
of the world?
What would you practical men
think of contractor and builder who
would undertake to erect Il building
three times as large as the material at
hand would Justify? Would You not
say lie was crazy? Would the builder
not soon arrive at point from which
he could go on further: That is
precisely the position Mr.. Carlisle and
Mr.. Cleveland are now occupying.
They have undertaken to erect the
single gold standard structure and
they have one-thirl of the necessary
material to do it with: provided they
can, by shy possible means, procure
all of this peculiar kind of material in
In the world.

You farmers produce all wealth, vet
you do not know what use is made
with it. If you knew the way the
money you produce was expended,
you might feel like stopping produc-
ton. The wealth You produce should
be Justly parceled out among the
masses. IN order that they may all en-
JOY their just proportion of it. Every
man does not produce wealth as the
farmer does, but ii he is good citizen
and does his duty, fills the position al

view to Just distribution of wealth,

On Saturday last. Tammany Hall

be recognized by its founders. Its be-
ginning was as charitable and patri-
Otto association, without partisan af-
filiatiOns. As patron saint, the
founders Of Tammany chose one OF the
most noted Of Delaware chieftains,
whose name thew gave to their organ
ization. Chief Tammany, said tradi-
ton, ruled over thirteen tribes. These
thirteen tribes, u we'll rs the original
thirteen States. were cOmmemOrated
by the division Of the society into
thirteen tribes, each of which had its
emblem chosen from the animal king
dom the buffalo. the eagle. the wolf,
the tiger. and so on. The tiger alone
ha, survived to modern times u the
symbol of the Organization-at least,
so far "a political cartoons are con-
ccrEei.
The association kept up the Indian
analogy throughout. Its meeting place
wa "wigwam." its officers were thir-
teen "sachems" and a grand sachem,"

erty, u "wistinskic" or doorkeeper. a
scribe" and a father Of the council,
to whom were added the modern func-
tiOnaries, a secretary and treasurer.
Partisan politics first entered Tam
many at the time OF the whisky insur-
rectiOn in 1894.
Thus early enlisted in tho strife of
parties Tammany began to gain power
As a political organization. 1t has hal

to-day it has the city under more absO-
lutte control than ever before 1t elects

Before a Government undertakes to
establish a peculiar financial theory
the officers composing the persOnel
of such Government should be in
formed on the subject of finances.
This is only an assertion of a self-evi-
dent standpoint, for going it blind re-
suits III disaster.
Then, it follows. that the present
Democratic Administration should
have thoroughly understood all Of
the facts about gold and its peculiar
characteristics as a money of last re-
sort, before it undertook to establish
such theory in the United States.
The evidence was at hand and the OPP
portunities abundant to have secured
all Of the facts and figures necessary
to have shown the mpracticability of
the single gold standard ii Mr.. Cleve-
land and his Cabinet had desired to
possess themselves of them. The sta
tistics in the possession of the Govern
ment need only have been examined
to convince the authorities that sim
gle gold standard was not only i'm
practicable, but impossible of accom-
plishment.
Mr.. Cleveland would only have
found it necessary to examine the fol-
lowing statistics to have repudiated
his visionary schemes on finance and
led him to change his course and
thereby have saved the country from a
calamity AS we'll as an enormous bond
