SoME people seem to think

SOME people seem to think
that Mr.. Cleveland is oppo-
sed to the coinage Of silver.
Neither he, nor those who
uphold his administration,
are opposed to the coinage of
silver, 50 long as it can be
maintained on a parity with
gold. If the United States
alone attempted to coin sill
yer free and without limit,
every silver producing coun-
try on earth would dunn p
their products upon us,
and it would be impossi-
bic to maintain the parity
under such circumstances.
The mere idea of ''free and
unlimited coinage Of silver
is, perhaps, fascinating and
enchanting to some people.
But, when sifted to the bot
tom, the truth will prevail,
No matter how much money
we have, whether good
money or bad money, can
you get any of it without
something to offer in ex-
change? The free coinage
of silver is dead wrong and
the people will sooner or la,
ter see it.

IF money is the creature
of law, rs Senator Harris as
sorts, why is it that before
the decrease in the price of
silver the Mexican dollar was
at a premium in this country
while it now passes for about
81 cents? The Mexican dol
lar contains about eight more
grains of silver than the
American silver dollar, hence
when Az 1-2 grains of silver
bullion was worth dollar in
the markets, a dollar con-
tanning 420 grains was worth
more. 1t is indeed strange
that sane men will assert that
metallic money has no intrin-
sic value.

THE legislature on last
Monday defeated the JEFF
fries bill, which was introdu-
ced for the purpose Of de-
creasing the fees allowed
officials. The action of the
legislature in this respect can
not be too severely condemn
ed. Truly, the populace are
becoming more and more con-
WINGED, because of the record
of their representatives that
it is impossible to elect a suf-
ficient number of upright
men to offices of trust and
honor as will insure the pro-
lection of their rights and in
terests. The power of the
lobbyists are seen and felt
whenever any measure that
would redown to the welfare
of the people is introduced.
While officials whose office is
worth annually $4,000 or
more will continue to enjoy
the emoluments of Office, the
witnesses in cases who re-
side under four miles from
the courthOu re will be COM
PEELED to testify without be-
ingcompensated. What bet
ter evidence could be produ-
ced to prove that with the
majority of the present legis-
ture justice is but mockcry.

congress, the average tariff
reduction was about Is per
cent, and by that con-
gress a law was passed
levying a tax of 2 per cent on
incomes over 81, 600, but its
fate vii. not be determined
until after the 9th of this
month. As to whether or
not the tax on consumption
will continue to sustain the
government, hinges upon the
decision of the United States
supreme court. The enor-
nous increase in the tax is
uncOntrovertable evidence Of
the great injustice done the
people by inscriptions law
makers In the passage of in
iquitous, paternal and UNI
warranted laws and in ma
king unjust appropriations.
The result of such legisla-
ton has not only been instru-
mental in making the poor
poorer, but in the concentra-
ton OF wealth-an evil which
our fOrefathers did not have
to contend with. The crea-
ton of expensive and useless
offices by both the state and
national governments have
also been instrumental in in
creasing the burden of taxa
ton. By the present legis-
lature of this State, a!bill has
been passed establishing for
each division of the State a
Chancery Court of Appeal,
which will not only necessi-
tate the establishment ofthree
additional judgeships at a cost
of So, 500 cash, but will add
to the cost of the litigants
when cases are appealed to
the supreme court. The peO-
pie cannot prosper as they
should as long as they are
burdened with unnecessary
and unjust expenses. MOI
can they under such circum-
stances purchase as many
goods as they otherwise would
and because of this flct there
has been depression in bust
mes, and unrest among the
people.

DURING the severe wealth

DURING the severe wealth
er of last winter, eggs sold
in Bolivar at 20 cents.
They can now be bought
in this place for sew,
en- cents a dozen. Now if
the demonitization of silver
is the cause of their being
worth only seven cents, what
caused them to command 20
cents? Silver was not re-
monitized before the advance,
nor was it demOnitized since
the fall in price of eggs. We
were informed by one of the
residents of this place that in
1855, corn sold for a dollar a
barrel. In 1855 gold and sill
yer were both coined free.
In 1895, p years after this
country had gone to the gold
basis, corn is selling at 81. 90
a barrel. These are facts
and not prophesies, and have
so often occurred as to cause
no credence by those who
have informed themselves on
the money question, that the
volume of money controls
prices. During the winter
when eggs were high,
they were scarce and in 1855
when corn was selling at.
S1.00 a barrel, al immense
crop had been made that
year, and the cause If its be-
ny worth twice as mu n now
IS in 1855, is because of ST.
Moons or whitening winds,
which swept oyer the wes-
tern states last summer and |

way. In 1856 cotton was
worth almost twice as much
S it's now. Then the produc-
ion of that staple was just
bout one-half less than the
mount now produced. At
hat time neither cotton plan
ers or cotton cultivatqrs had

The greatest evil to which
the people of the United
States are subjected is the
enormous expenses which
they are compelled to defray.
This evil is not confined
to national affairs, for its
baneful effects are caused in
part by unwise state laws as
we'll as federal. Under our
form of government the tariff
is on consumption and
not upon property, cOnse-
quently the poor man with a
large family pays more to-
wards sustaining the govern
ment than Il millionaire.
More than one hundred years
ago, the first tariff tax, which
was 10 cents on the dollar,
was levied, and the levy was
increased from time to time
until it reached 60 per cent,

ey law. During the last
