Where Are You?

The currency clause of the plat form of 1892 IS either in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of l6 to 1 or it is miserable straddle. The En- terprisc believes that it meant to favor the coinage of silver at the ratio at which 1t was then being coined without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage." This is certainly very
 plain. A proviso or condition
 then comes in and says: but the dollar unit of coinage of both met als must be of equal intrinsic and eXchangeable value or be adjusted
 through international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times Tn the markets and in the payment of debts" If that means anything, 1t means that the demo- cratic party pledged itself 10 enter upon the free and unlimited coin age of silver under one of the three conditions laid down, and the par " itself was to try to bring about these conditions. But the Cleye- land, Carlisle combination have tried to throw obstacles in the way of any Legislation whatever on the subject. They have simply repu- diated the solemn pledges of the platform, and have shown repeat. edly that they don't want silver
 dollars coined at all under any cir cumstarces. The issue now is gold

Marvellous Results.

From a letter written by Rev. J Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are permitted to make this extract: Il have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Kings New Discovery, as the results were al- most marvellous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneu- monia succeeding La Grippe. Ter rible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little inter- ruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. Kings New Dis covery; it was quick in it's work and highly satisfactory in results o Trial bottles free at Brown, Hall X Co.'S. Drug Store. Regular size soc. and S1.00.

Where Are We Att

Some of our people seem indit- ierent en the money question-say- ing 1t k about all the same any way, whether we have monometaI- ism or bimetaIism-while others complacently advocate the gold standard theory and socalled sound money idea, fearing that the return to free silver will dis turb business, bring on panic, or some other indescribable evil. Do
 such ever think of our present sit
 uatioa7 Do they know the govern
 ment is almost banl<rnpG Do they
 think, that, notwithstanding we
 have the gold standard in all its
 fullueSs, silver demonctized and
 none coined-of any consequence
 free or otherwise, our once
 proud government is at the mercy
 of q few bankers? In spite of the
 last bond sale, i'll which the purch- asers made about nine million dol
 lars, whereby the gold reserve was 1 brought up to over q hundred mil i lions, these same bankers have twice put up additional gold into the Treasury, to check the flow for export and to keep down a panic. But their last deposits were made in exchange for legal tenders, and when the time comes that the syndicate is no longer "honor" bound to protect the Treasury, 1t will doubtless be again drawn out, and more bonds and another "hOnor" contract for protection result. All that were amusing if 1t were not that the | people will sooner or later have to foot the bills. The people will have to pay about five and half millions year interest, and, if able tinally repay the one hundred and sixty two millions borrowed. And what IS there to show for it? Is the government credit any bet ter2 Did not the first bonds sell better than the last? But we are on the gold standard. and we must up- hold it tt all hazards. The Com mercial Appeal thus summarizes the matter.
 Now look at the situation. We have all admins tration openlysup porting gold monemetalism. Con gross has repealed the law which was said to be the cause of all the trouble. There is nowhere a line upon the statute books authorizing the coinage of another silver dollar. The administration has been left unfettered in the matter of issuing bonds. The gold standard party is in the saddle and all the prere- 9uisites to restoration of conf dence" have Teen conceded or ob tained. It is mere idle vaporing to attempt to lay the blame of the governments impotency on the silver men now. What is the mat. ter? It is the proud fruition of our gold standard that three big eapi talists are mightier than the gov ernment of the United States; and it has come to pass that this, the greatest country upon earth, must lean upon the wealth and credit of the private individuals who have amassed almost inealculable for tunes out of the system.
 Indeed. it seems to be true, that the money power has got us by the leg"-Searcy Beacon.
