DECEASED Silver.

Every argument made by gold
standard advocates hinges upon and
revolves around this sentiment, though
stated in a multitude of ways: uni
versal experience has proven that a
debased currency always drives out OF
a country full valued money, and as
silver is a debased currency, it would
drive out or reduce everything else to
its own debased condition. But since
silver was not debased until it was de-
monetized. until it was denied its ira
ditional freedom of coinage, and it is
certainly reasonable to contend that
if it is restored to its old place 1t will
not be debased, hence none of the ills
imputed to debasing will be realized.
Denouncing silver because it is debas-
ed is like rolling clean, we'll dressed
man in filth and then kicking him all
over the township for being dirty

CRISIS AT HAND.
Venezuela Boundary Dispute to Be
Settled by Force Of Arms.
British Guiana, Acting on instructions
from Imperial Government, As
sumes Menacing Attitude.
Special Correspondence

Georgetown. Demerara, B. g., Nov.
8-Thut the crisis in the dispute be-.
tween Great Britain and Venezuela as
to the boundaries of the republic is mp
preaching cannot longer be doubted.
The administration of British Guiana,
acting upon instructions from the inn
perinl government, has made declara-
ton to the British Guiana legislature
which clearly indicates that unless
Venezuela withdraws her claims to the
greater part of the territory in dispute,
the imperial government is prepared to
assert the rights of British Guiana by
force of arms, and the colonial legisla-
ture has voted to the governor in .ex-
ecutiye council On open check for war
expenses for the colonial and imperial
forces.
The situation now generally accepted
here is that this long-standing dispute
will only be settled by force of arms,
and that it is only question of weeks
before the roar of cannon and clash of
arms is heard again in the South Amer
lean republic, and the British GUAM
fans openly boast that they have got the
men and got the money, too. for the
assertion of their territorial rights.
Within the past few days there has
been wonderful change effected in the
talk and temperament of the people.
Instead of the frequent expressions of
disgust and dissatisfaction with the
mastery inactivity of the imperial au-
thorities, the people speak hopefully
of u speedy settlement of dispute
which has seriously retarded the devel-
opment of the mineral resources of the
colony.
There can be no doubt that the open
~ avowed dissatisfaction of the peo-
pie, the freely expressed opposition
because their representatives in the
colonial Legislature bow to the dictates
of the colonial Office, and the positive
refusal to sanction the expenditure of
any moneys for governmental schemes
the imperial government was prepared
to support them in asserting their
rights on the frontier and to obtain re-
dress for the Uran incident, have neces-
STATED if not forced public declara-
ton from the imperial government
through its local representative.
On every hand the indications are
that should force be resorted to neither
the government nor the people will be
unprepared for taking active military
steps, and the general opinion enter
tanned here is that the solution Of the
Venezuelan boundary problem will be
speedy and effective.

A chorus in which many love to join:

Self-assertive men often do large
business on small capital.
We must give Christ our burden be-
fore he will give us his yoke.
The man who would go to heaven
alone if he conld. isn't fit to go.
So many people are not at home
when a golden opportunity knocks.
Our loyalty to Christ is best tested
by tho way we treat our enemy.
Whoever is like Christ will be found
trying to make earth like heaven.
A civil tongue is better protection
than steel armor an inch thick.
There is nothing the devil makes
much more use of in this world than a
tattling tongue.

whether he is trying to kill you with
his tongue or gun.

If people, as a rule, were able to
hold their products until they could
get a fair price, nothing would sell be-
low cost of production, except perish
able articles occasionally. But they
are not, and those who are able must
suffer along with the balance, for the
poor will keep the market overcrowd-
ed from year to year. With the pres
ent short crop of cotton, if the grow
ers could hold it a few months, they
could force our friends across the sea
TO pay living price for it, but most
growers cannot wait; they must mar
ket it regardless of price and those
that can afford to wait have learned
that holding does no good unless the
majority hold, which is Impossible, so
they sell early too for fear later the
price may be lower. Scarce money is
doing the mischief. Cotton ought to
sell for rs cents pound, on an aver
age, year in and year out.

Our Republican friends (God bless
them and make them better) do not
like to be reminded of the time when
they were running over the country
and telling the people that republi-
can victory in 1894 would restore con-
hdence and bring immediate prosper
lty. This was the burden of the edi.
torials and speeches, and of the street
corner conversations, all through the
bankers panic of 1898. This is what
they said; you all remember it. They
shouldn't kick now when reminded of
it, should they? Come up, boys, and
take your medicine like good children;
and hereafter, when making deceptive
promises to the people, know that ..a

Do you think there is a farmer in
this country who would exchange one
hundred bushels of corn for the metal
in a twenty dollar gold piece, if it
were denied the privilege of being
coined into money at the U. S. minis?
Do you think its boosted .sintrinsic
value" sufficient inducement for the
trade? He could not buy 500 worth
of the necessaries Of life, nor cancel
that amount of Indebtedness with it to
save his life, simply from the fact that
it would not be money. The law can

viding he had enough United States

II the masses of the producers were
well off the fluctuations in prices
would be small. This year of an i'm
mense corn crop would not force prices
OF that pre- duct down, below the aver
age 81 of production. The growers
would fix reasonable price in their
minds and hold their corn. If next
spring the price continued low, the
farmer would say, 81 will let that field
rest this year and little rest wouldn't
hurt the old man." But under pres
ent conditions the debt slaves fix the
price for all, by keeping the market
overcrowded. If it wasn't for the
speculator-the man who buys wheat
and stores it in the elevators waiting
for better figure, prices would at
times, go much lower than they do
now. The offerings would be more
than the immediate demand and the

The national committee of the re-
publican party is called to meet in
Washington city. December 10, and
we presume one of the objects of the
meeting is to map out plan for the
campaign of 1896, and to discuss the
time of holding it's nominating con-
vention. Many of the members of the
committee, especially from the west,
profess to believe the party will pro-
nounce in favor of the full restoration
of silver to the position it held prior
to 1873. We confess we cannot see any
reasonable basis for such a hope. 1t
is more than probable that late con-
vention will be held by both the re-
publican and the democratic party,
that both will declare in favor of the
present financial policy, which makes
the United States the foot ball of the
Rothschilds and their agents in Wall
street. The two old parties have vir-
tually agreed upon late conventions,
the real purpose of which is to pre-
vent those favorable to the full re-
monetization of silver from having the
time necessary to combine and organ
ize in its behalf. Mr.. Enoch Strother
of Virginia City, Nevada. is the mem
Der Of the committee from Nevada, is
an ardent free silver man and pro-
fesses to have faith that the gold bugs
can be beaten both in the time for
holding the convention, in its plat
form and in nominating candidates
who will honestly and earnestly favor
silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to L.
Ii there is a full attendance of the
members the hope for an early con-
vention, and the fear OF late one, will
be about evenly balanced, with almost
certainty that when the convention
is held the great states of the east will
overwhelm the silver section in nam.
ing candidates and in the declared
policy to be pursued, which will prob
ably result in candidates favorable to
Wall street and a platform that means
one thing in one locality and different
ly in another.
