At Winfield the other day w. J.
Bryan, of Nebraska, spoke and the
next day jerry Simpson made a silver
speech and all agree that Jerry made
by far the best speech, and proved him
self the better posted of the two. Jer-
ry may be the logical candidate for
president yet. Keep an eye on Jerry.

Silver conventions are becoming
numerous and popular IN the demo-
cratic party. The work of education
lnaugurated by tho peoples party three
years ago has produced results for good
almost beyond belief. The education
of the great party by the little band of
"silver cranks," as they have been call.
ed, is sufficient proof of the Justness of
their cause.-Liberty, (Mo.) Search

1t may seem remarkable that while
Senator Sherman was denounclng as a
liar and scoundal reputable citizen of
Colorado, Messrs. Teller and Wolcott
quietly sat in their seats and never
made protest, or demanded proof.
There is much that might be said, how
ever, in excuse of our senators. Meth
er of them really represents the state of
Colorado. The senior senator repre-
sents Union Pacific and the junior the

Will some "sound money! champion
have the kindness to state what the
present commercial price of gold is,
how the price of gold is fixed, and what
the price of gold would be if gold were
not admitted to free coinage by the
minis of the United States at the rate
of 81 for 25.S grains nine-tenths fine,
and If the Bank of England were not
compelled by the Act of Parliament of
1874 to buy with its legal tender notes
all gold offered for sale at the rate of II
shillings and pence per ounce GIG 2-3
fine.-Topeka Press.
So
We are continuously being told that
the country would be ruined if free
coinage OF silver was established. The
same element said that the repeal of
the Sherman law would bring us pros
perity. Well it dld-to the bond hold
ers and note shayers. Maybe the peo-
pie are looking at the wrong end when
they deny the outcome of remonetiza-
ton of silver, for it would ruin the
free and easy pace of the monopolists.
Possibly it would be better to protect
this class and let the balance of the
country go to Halifax-Harper Adyo.

There is an incipient rebellion in re-
publican ranks. When Chief Justice
Martin was appointed, every republi-
can paper in the state published COM
mandatory articles and smeared his
honor with fulsome praise. A few
days ago he had the temerity to attend
a meeting of free silver republicans and
raise his voice in favor of bi-metallism.
This independent conduct is too much
for the republican single standard ring,
and now the announcement is made
that such conduct should not be toler-
ated. and that an opposition to his
nomination by the republican conyen-
ton has developed. If Boss Cy. oppos-
es his nomination he may as we'll begin
to look for another job.-Salina Union.

Wall street not only in not earning
anything absorbs everything, but
lodges its share of the burthens of tax
alton. 1t has just transpired in New
York court that capitalists evade the
payment of taxes by transferring their
securities, bonds and stocks, for sea
son so that they are enabled to swear
that on given day they were not pos
sessed of such and such values. OF
course they, morally, at least swear to
lie, but that character of men care
nothing so long as there is no penalty
attached and they escape their taxes.
1t would seem that the common peo-
pie have enough to bear without carry
ing the only burden known to wealth.
1t is such outrages as that developed
by the testimony in the New York
court which strengthens the popular
feeling against the single cinchers and
gold-bug mOnopolists of Wall street =

When Coins Financial SCHOOL, was
sweeping over the nation these cormo-

work before the people by initiating
MIR. Harvey's book, in color and style.
Ii you will look in the show windows
OF the book stores you will see "Cash

In the same kind of binding, and adorn-
ed with the same kind of print as that
OF Coins Financial School; but the lit
tie trick failed to work. The people
got their eyes open so completely by
MIR. Harvey's book, that they were able
to see the subterfuge at a glance. and
the false pleadings lie there untouched.
while the true doctrine goes on mis-

people are learning of the great robbery
that has been carried on under cloak
of law. Old Plutocrat. you can't fool
