What Senator PETER Said.

Some eastern paper quoted Senator
PETER as saying that the silver senti-
ment is dying out i'll the west and
south. To reporter of Topeka jour
nal he makes the following denial: "I
have been misquoted in the New York
papers about the subsidence of the sill
yer sentiment. What did say was that
the silver sentiment is spreading con-
stantly wider and wider among the peo-
pie, and that the py1otechnic part Of the
business, the calling Of meetings, pass
ing of resolutions and hurrahing had
been passed, and that now the subject
is being discussed in the home and ham
let's and i'll small assemblies, and that
they will be heard from at the polls. I
believe the whole west and south is
practically unanimous for the restora-
tion of the free coinage system as it ex-
listed under the law of 1S37.''

DANGER AHEAD.
THE People of America Should Re Warn.

ed by the Experience of Europe.
The old world is military camp.
The clank OF resounding arms has ST.
lenced the protests of the people against
intolerable wrongs. The crowned pup
pets Of Europe, called monarcns, live
by the breath of the Rothschilds and are
protected from violence by the merce-
nary legions which devour the substance
Of the people. Rothschilds' financial
system has been enforced upon this
country by cunning and fraud. 1t is,
maintained by the corruption of the
commercial press, the venality of time
serving politicians. the threat of the
creditor and the patronage of great
government, but these instrumentaliti
are expensive and require constant at
tention. Military despotism, according
to the custom of the old world, is more
direct and effective, and Rothschild is
preparing this country for another
change. Whence comes the voice of the
military for more soldiers, Of the CAPT
talists for stronger government, of the
toady for an aristocracy, and of the
money lender for more stability, all of
which points to the assimilation of the
institutions of America to the despotism
Of the world?
If the free and independent voters Of
the United States do not resist with
power and purpose the greedy designs Of
the money powers, and do it now, it
will ha too late. II within generation
more Than half the property of 100000
600 of people has been transferred by
strategy and fraud to q thousand money
lenders, what hope is there in continu-
ing policy which is designed to con-
centrate the wealth Of the world into
one great creditor system, with the bank
ers Of London and the Rothschilds at
the head, unless immediate resistance is
made? The magnitude of that colossal
power is already immense. It has no
parallel in history. The final consun-
nation Of it's schemes is millionaires
and slaves. It's purposes are not dis
guised. The gold journals Of London
proclaimed that property must rule and
democracy must be destroyed. Ameri-
cans, will you wait until America is
controlled as Germany and Italy are by
the military forces Of concentrated CAPT
tai? Will you wait until it is treason to
distrust public affairs? Will you wait
until the voice Of the American people
is hushed in the silence Of the serfdom
Of the dark ages? Let your answer be
given in 1S96.-Silver Knight.

states Of Europe viii be compelled to
follow us. In Germany there is deep
and powerful undercurrent of bimetallic
sentiment, but the repressive system Of
the German government keeps it in
check. The emperor pays attention only
to the army and depends wholly on that
terrible enginery to hold the country to
his wishes. But the great mass Of Ger
man people arc too intelligent not to see
the injustice and the ruinous effects Of

What 1t Means to Farmers.

Henry G. Miller of Illinois, while on
visit recently to his old home in New
York, delivered a stirring address On the
money question at the Oswego county
fair, and was listened to with rapt at
tention by the large gathering of farm
ers who made up the chief part of his
audience Following are the closing re-
marks Of his speech:
The farmers Of this country can see
the doom that awaits them if this gold
standard is continued. This is not and
should not be allowed to become party
question. 1t is an occasion when fealty
to party should be subordinated to fdel-
ity to the public welfare. This country
was not made for the Democratic party,
for the Republican party, for the Popu-
list party, Or any other party, but for
the people who inhabit it, and it's gov
eminent was founded upon the theory
that the people would become sufficient
ly acquainted with public questions to
adopt, through their representatives,
those policies best calculated to promote
their welfare.
It can be said Of our people that when
they once grasp subject that SO deeply
concerns them, they never will dismiss
it until it is rightly settled. The parties
to this controversy are the owners Of
money and Of securities for the payment
Of money on the one side and those who
use money in prosecuting our industries
and giving employment to labor on the
other side. If the propositions have
stated are correct, and they are vindi-
Gated by our own experiences and the
experience of all former ages, but one
answer can be given to the question
whether the metallic basis Of our cur
rency should be confined to gold alone
or whether it should consist of both
metals, as it did practically the world
over prior to that unfortunate year OF
1873.

The Change Since 1873.

We who have witnessed the progress
Of the nation believed until 1878 that
we were living in the country of the
wealthiest, the most independent and
progressive nation of the earth. Today
we are under cloud of financial dis
tress and our merchant princes are mer-
chant paupers. We are bankrupt as a
nation. In 1878, when the wounds Of
the nation were healed, there stole into
the national councils that peculiar infu-
ence that money always exerts The
bill was stolen through congress by the.
power of English gold, and at one mas
ter stroke we became shackled down to
the money power Of Europe. R. Guy

Richer and the Poor Poorer.

The subject of bilnetallism is larger
than the mountain states. For every
advocate of free coinage furnished by
the states having mining interests the
agricultural states will furnish ten ad-
vocates of free coinage just as earnest
and courageous. We favor the use Of
both gold and silver, not because we
produce either, but because We use both,
The farmers cannot sell their products
unless people have money to buy
The goldbugs rejoice whenever money
comes to this country from abroad,
which is sufficient evidence that they
recognize our need Of more money. If
we need more money, it is better to
have it taken from our mines than to
be dependent for it upon the whims and
interests Of foreign bankers The 1inan-
cial policy Of the present administration
is but continuation Of the policy
which has prevailed through all admin
istrations since 1878. If any private in
dividual attempted to conduct his bust
ness upon the same principles, he would
soon be bankrupt
The standard silver dollar is legal
tender for all debts due the government,
and yet, according to the gold standard
idea, the dollars are not good enough to
pay what the government owes. The
difference between the bimetallists and
the monometallists is that the bimetal-
list believes in the use of gold and sill
yer both as money of equal privilege,
while the monometallsts believe in
issuing bonds and increasing the public
debt in time of peace in order to buy
gold to furnish for export. The gold
standard has already cost the people the
issue Of $3.50, 900, 900 Of bonds in ~
years, with other issues probable.
The San Francisco Examiner recently
contained New York dispatch which
stated that the capitalists of that city
We're anxious to have more bonds issued

Who Are the Revolutionists?

Bimetallists do not propose to "revo-
1utionize the monetary conditions Of the
country as charged by Mr.. Cleveland.
Those conditions have already been
revolutionized by the demonetization Of
silver, and bimetallists are only de-
manding that they be restored, as estab-
lished by the constitution.
Under the monometallic system the
few have been enriched at the expense
Of the many. The farming and laboring
elements have suffered most. Generally
where there has been an increase of
wealth at all it has occurred in the Cit
les, while there has been falling off
in the rural districts.
Bankruptcy is a condition into which
the nation seems to be rushing head
long. A few months since we paid a
single banking house $4,000, 900 for
promise Of it's influence to protect our
gold reserve, and already that reserve is
again below the legal requirement. In
time OF peace we are issuing bonds
periodically to build up this reserve on.

we are Informed that there will be

and substituting an interest bearing

no interest.

with the gold standard gave Eng land

WHO WOULD SUFFER
Suppose fhe Gold Bugs Should Do
1he Things They Yhreatsn.
IF We Had Free Coinage OF silver
and They HOnrded All the GOlG
Not One American Citizen Out
Of Il Thousand Would Know
What They Had Done.

The increase Of wealth and population
OF the country requires an annual in
crease Of from 500, 900, 900 to $60,o0o,-
900 year to keep the volume Of money
on hand stationary in amount, when
compared to the Legitimate demand of
business, but suppose the goldbugs
would do all the foolish, absurd and
wicked things they threaten?
Suppose they would Immediately
hoard the gold in the country and take
it all out of circulation? Not one
American citizen in thousand would
know that they had done it, because
there is no gold now in circulation ex-
cept OH the Pacific coast.
In fact, the circulation of the country
is confined almost exclusively to silver
certificates.
The gold is boarded; the greenbacks
and treasury notes are boarded, to be
used by speculators to raid the treasury
Suppose, as the goldbugs predict, gold
should 60 to q premium? Before that
could take place, however, prices in this
country must raise above the European
level.
That could only be done by such an
increase Of the volume Of circulation in
this country by silver as to make money
plentier and prices higher in this coun-
try than in Europe.
The question is, Who would suffer if
gold should 60 to premium? Would it
be the people Of the United States? We
answer, no! They would have plenty Of
money, good prices and good times,
such as every silver standard country in
the world enjoys today, and it would be
easier to pay gold debts.
The only means the people Of the
United States have to obtain gold be-
yond what they can mine. is by sale Of
their products for gold in Europe. If
our gold were in Europe, gold would be
cheaper there because there would be
more Of it and gold prices would go up
and we would get more gold for our
wheat and cotton and other farm prod
ucts. We would be situated as India
was before the suspension Of silver coin
age in June, 1893, when she was able to
pay $50, 600, 600 annually in gold interest
to Europe, and we would not be situated
as India and the United States are to-
day; we would not be compelled. as the
United States and India now are, to live
by borrowing money to pay gold inter
est Oh gold obligations. Besides plenty
Of money would give occupation to all
and enormously increase our produc-
tions. We would have more to sell to
Europe and would get better price, In
short, as summed up by English writers
on bimetallism, free coinage in this
country, if gold went to premium,
would be bounty on exports and a tax
Oh imports, which if continued would
bankrupt Europe and enormously in
crease the wealth of the United States.
In no point Of view could there be any
possible injury to the people Of this
country from free coinage at the ratio of
16 to l. On the contrary, it would be a
blessing, the like of which has not been
enjoyed by the people of this country
since the landing at Jamestown.-Wil

T'Nruy Guests.

The old moot question as to whether
social engagements should be held to
the minute, or not has been settled ut
last by a visiting Englishwoman of
high degree, and the etiquette Of the
British court has been introduced into
fashionable New York. For 4 dinner
party the minutes of grace allowed
tardy guests, the excuses made for
her who comes in before the hostess
herself arrives in the drawing room,
and the surprise OF arriving just on the
stroke of the clock are all done away
with. Exactly three minutes after the
time mentioned in the invitations sent
out, whether one or all the guests
have arrived, the host leads the way
to the dining room. These three min
utes are allowed for the women to take
off wraps in the dressing room and
undergo the process Of greeting or
introduction proper before the meal is
announced. Tardy guests must suffer
the modification Of paying excuses to
the seated hostess. For luncheons the
same rule holds good, as we'll as for
breakfasts. AT wedding receptions
half an hour is the time allowance
given; and all these rules are printed
on a leather-framed card that now
hangs in every private carriage
