THE CRIME OF '73.

/ 80
Who has not heard of the crime
of 10, the assassination of silver,
legislation in behalf of the rich
secretly numbering the money of
the people?
Time after time has it been
proven that the act of 70 was an
open measure, discussed and I'M
derstood by both houses of Con-
gress, 1t has further been shown
that silver at this time was not a
circulating medium in the United
States, it having flowed to foreign
lands. Yet, grant the greedy own
er Of Western mines, or the howl
ing oRice-seeker his 1913" fallacy,
and what does it argue? Nothing.
The European countries had held
silver dearcr than Americans did.
They had gathered it to them
selves. America was not interested
in sustaining the value of silver.
1t did not flow to her minis. She
simply took down her sign for
commodity that flowed to better
markets. With the lapse of time
the European powers came to see
the evil of two fuctuating monies.
One by one they gave it up.
France, Germany, Holland, Spain.
all the powers of Europe, with the
exception of Russia, one after an
other, closed their minis to the
unlimited coinage of silver, lest at
any moment they find their
money gravltating to the low level
OF depreciating and multiplying
bullion.
The act of '73 did not affect the
price OF silver; but suppose it did,
suppose it was thework of thieves.
does 1t argue that America can to-
day afford to gather the discarded
refuse of the coming world? Is
any one SO blind or SO bigotted as |
not see the criminal folly in our !
attempting to place on the shout
ders OF the American people load
that the world has laid down.

Yes, truly this would be a sad
state of affairs.
But then the crime Of 70. Let
is throw open our minis, our law
makers have sinned and it is due
into our silver God that we do
at his shrine. sunk in sor-
ow, suffering and servitude, pray

TWO VIEWS OF IT.

Here is the homely and striking
way in which the Corinth Sub
Soiler and Democrat endeavors to
shed light on the financial cues
ton: "If the crop Of one of the
farmers Of Alcorn county was badly
in the grass, and neighbor A should
suggest a sure way to get out, and
neighbor B should say to the far
mer that the plan of A was no
good, yet could not suggest bet
ter plan than to work on IN the
grass and take chances Of getting
out, whose advice would the farm
Ell take? He would certainly try
the plan which promised relief.
That is Just exactly what the peo-
pie of this country are going to do
in regard to the financial question.
They are going to follow the lead
Of the silver men because they offer
relief, while the gold men do not,
but simply say let the finances re-
main as they are. Commercial
Appeal.
A colored man once found a
flask of corn whisky. He was fond
Of liquor, but he feared lest some
strategy had been laid for human
life. He eyed the bottle long and
wlstfully, discoursing this wise:
81 wonder is dis plsin; | wonder
IS dis pisin-I don't keer, whisky
is skace and nissers is plenty; I'm
gwine ter try it,"
Good advice" is not so scarce,
nor is prosperity SO plenty that
we can afford to adopt the wildcat
schemes of every one who would
feed by our folly.

ARE WE TRUE TO THE PARTY?

Il - NDAAAN ACh'AAO NAAN ~ AO4AO'
ing paragraphs in a recent issue Of
the Clarion-Ledger:
Secretary of the Navy Herbert
is the last administration cuckoo tC
come forward with the suggestion
that unless the free silver Ideals de
feated, there is no prospect fol
Democratic success at the next ma
tional election. He says that if the
free silver agitation is abandoned,
the prospect for victory at the next
Presidential campaign will be good.
This is only the opinion of one
man-one who is enjoying a very
fat office BY the grace of the gold
bug President. His prediction is
simply an echo of the administra-
ton, and will have no effect what
ever in stemming the silver tide. =
"The Clarion Ledger has before
referred to the fact that w. f. Har-
rlty, chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, had given
it as his opinion that the "silver
craze is subsiding,' and that re-
action has set in in favor of gold
recommendation. The fact now de-
velops that Mr. Harrity is presi-
dent of a banking and trust COM
pany, and of course
sees through gold bug spec
tacles. He has also been Mr..
Cleveland's postmaster at Phila7
delphia, is little less than a mug
wump, and a cuckoo with long
wings and chirping bill-a plant
suppliant of the administration,
ready to do or say anything that
would please the President or his
gold bug satellites. "
Our friend, the Clarion-Ledger,
has a smooth way of settling mat
ters. A national leader speaks on
a vital issue; with grave decision he
is pronounced cuckoo and left to
writhe in silent agony If this
worthy sheet gave more time TO en-
tightening argument and less to
abusive assertions it would be of
better SAVIOUR to fair-minded peo-
pie.
Secretary Herbert was a gallant
Southern soldier. A man of the
old type-loved and honored bv a
race who give tribute only to the
brave. Has he ever lowered his
high standard? Has he done ought
to forfeit a confidence that he has
dearly bought? Does a simple
difference OF political opinion war
rant US in assailing those with
whom we differ with ck.guard-
ism worthy of prize fighters. ,
Mr. 1arrity, the chairman of the
National Democratic Committee. |
has not escaped. This man in
1892, led the party to its proudest
victory. His political career has
been that of Democrat ever on
the alert, pushing forward to party
success and national reform. Now.
we are told he is a "mugwump and
a cuckoo" accused of bootlicling
the administration and shaping his
policy for commercial ends.
Whether Mr. Harrity were a
New York banker or a Mississippi
potato planter it would be to his
interest to fight for sound dollar,
for safe currency.
Granting that the CT has a DO
litical influence, does it hope to
strengthen the party by ground
less questioning of its truest ex-
emplarso What could IGNORE in
furious to party interests than this
childish outburst of groundless
charges and abusive epithct?
But methinks there is something

the popular gust.

Many times it has happened that a
great and costly war has been brought
about by an incident trivial and even
ridiculous.
Thus the war of tho Spanish success
sion is said to have been caused through
glass of water A lady, Mrs. Masham,
was carrying a glass of water when she
was DISTRACTED by the Marquis do Torey.
A slight scuffle ensued, and the water
was spilled.
The marquis thereat took offense, and
bad feeling ensued between the English
and French courts, with the ultimate
result that war was declared.
The campaign cost France many Sc
we're battlls-viz, Blenhcim, 1904; Ra-
millies, 1907; Audenarde, 1908, and
Malplaquot 1903.
Quite as absurd in its origin was the
war that took place during the corn
monwealth Of Modena.
A soldier stole bucket from public
well belonging to the state of Bologna.
Although the value of the article did
not exceed IA quarter, its annexation Was
the signal for fierce and prolonged
war.
Henry, the king of Sardinia, assisted
the Modenese to retain the bucket, and
in one of the subsequent battles he was
made a prisoner The bucket is still ox-
hibited in the tower of the cathedral of
Modena.
A third instance of war resulting
from trifling cause was that between
