From the close of the war up to 1873
the greatest prosperity prevailed. Then
the fraudulent characterization Of silver
came, and with it q contI action Of the
currency and everything; all products of
every description have been going down,
and we ignorant farmers andlaborershave
found but the cause and we want more
money. Free coinage Of silver is the
first step towards it. Every country
man is familiar with the sight Of silver.
and there are millions of men who never
saw q gold coin in their lives-I have not
seen one for 25 years-and to be told that
the dollar they have seen all their lives
is to be discarded at the dictation Of the
Rothschilds and the one they have never
seen is to be the only metal they can
consider money, does make their metal
rise to the point Of revolution .-Ex-

rRoUBLoUs TIMES AHEAD.

ANY one who would in any way sdvo-
cate or assist in precipitating . revolu-
tion in this country involving the de-
struction Of human life is an enemy TO
both God and man. Not until a major
ity has spoken for . reform platform
through the ballot box, and been refused
possession Of the Government by plu.
tocrscy, should there be any violence.
But when the will Of the majority shall
be set at naught, as we believed IL will be,
then we are in favor Of using butcher
knives. cold lead, dynamite. or any de-
structive agency. to give the people their
rights. Post, Portland, Oregon.
The Post editor is not alone in his be-
lief that the most desperate means will
be resorted 10 by the money power next
year to retain the reins Of government.
The way many Of those editors reason is,
that IL the party Of reform, Whatever
it's name may be In 1896 tmost assuredly
not composed Of Cleveland Democrats
nor Sherman Republicans). succeed in
winning the fight by q small majority,
q squabble will ensue something like
the Presidential imbroglio that occurred
in 1876, when Samuel J. Tilden was de-
frauded out of the Presidency. Cleve-
land will not surrender the Presidency
until il is definitely decided who is en-.
titled to succeed him. These con-
sentative editors further assert that the
plutocrats will have Congress fix up 3
law to suit the case as was done in 1876,
or else get the matter referred to the
United States Supreme Court for settle
ment, and in the general shuttle that will
take place the reformers' candidate for
President will be defeated. The only
hope left the people to peaceably place
the man Of their choice in the Presiden-
tial chair, say these friends Of reform, is
to elect him by such an overwhelming
majority that there will be no chance left
the money power to even attempt the
theft. Should the result OF the Presi-
Dental election next year depend on
the electoral votes Of two or three States,
as was the case in 1876 in Florida,
Louisiana and South Carolina, and both
sides should claim they were rightly en-
titled 10 them, o disturbance would be
created the gravity or termination Of
which would be hard to conjecture at this
lime. Therefore, ii behooves every
voter in the United States who believes
in the perpetuity Of our system of gov.
eminent, and who is also DESTROYS Of
seeing certain reforms inaugurated-par-
ticularly the reconciliation Of silver-to
cast his vote in such manner that the
majority for the reform Presidential IAN
didate will be so great as to strike terror
into the hearts Of the p~lutocrats and pre-
vent . conflict which 9 close election ID

A TIMELY

The silver men in the two old parties
have in the past been the most efficient
workers in the cause Of COLL monopoly.
The oddities have controlled the National
Conventions Of both parties, and the sil-
verites have led the forces and ratified the
soldite platform and nominee. As long
IS silverites Of the two old parties will
continue to rstify the action Of goldite
National Conventions the Rothschilds
gold combination will continue TO rule
the country. There is q movement of
these silverites in the Democratic party
to capture the National Convention in
1896. II is the most pronounced and Wig
orcus movement OF the kind which has
taken place since the crime Of 1873. II
il should succeed in nominating q man
with an unquestionable silver record, on
q platform OF 10 to | by the United
States alone, the Democracy would be
victorious in 1896, and American liberty
| would be regained. II the free silver
men fail, what theni Will they join the
| gold forces against their country and fight
in the ranks Of the enemies of civiliza-
| ton because the consolidated banks and
money changers Of Europe and America,
| with the press and railroads at their COM
mand, have been able to again pack Q Ma
tional Democratic Convention and mis-
represent the will Of the people! We
sincerely hope our good friends will sue
| coed in that convention in 1896. But we
warn all true lovers Of liberty that the
struggle in the Democratic Convention Of
1896 will be, II ny the least, doubtful.
Is it safe to make the cause Of silver de-
pendent upon the action of q party
which has been for many years subject to
the will Of an alien gold trust? Honest
Democrats had better watch. Is IL safe
to put too much faith in what the con-
~vention may do in view of what preced'
ing conventions have done? Faith may
move mountains, but it has never vel
moved q national convention OF ethel
party for the last twenty years from it,

traction. hard times, misery and want

Secretary Morton has conferred q favor
on the nation by abolishing the garden
seed bureau in his department. This
bureau was originally intended to pro-
mote the introduction into the United
States of such useful foreign plants as
might be found suited to this climate,
and also to distribute in various parts
Of our wide domain those plants which
already flourish in certain localities. II
degenerated into Q distribution agency
for common vegetable and flower seeds.
The Congressman Of some agricultural
districts found it q means of supplying
farmer constituents with seeds, and city
Congressman helped them out by gifts or
sales of the packages allotted to them
selves. The abuse was notorious, and
its abolition, which is to take place o.
tober /, is q matter Of thankfulness. -

rRrE As

II "souad " money meant the highest
purchasing power of the dollsr-snd II
mean nothing else-it means that the
Shylock class and tie organs are doing all
they can TO keep pricesdownto theirpres-
emf pro6sless level. And that, in fact,
is The end and aim OF the gold bug cam
paigu. The whole purpose Of the money
power-the element that boards aud
handles all the gold in the worlds to
make their money just as valuable ss
possible. "Sound " money is the money
that is so scarce that il commands . con.
stsntiy increasing quantity Of the pro-
duets Of the labor Of the people.
The agents aud organs Of Shylock tell
US that the free coinage Of silver would
give the people . deprecated and dis
honest dollar. DEPRECATED as to WHAT
Why. as to its purchasing power. The
claim is made that il the dollar will pur-
chase less Of the products Of the peoples
labor than il does now it would be .
dishonest" dollar. In other words
only an honest" dollar and . sound
currency can have the effect Of depreci-
ating the prices Of commodities and cut
ting down the profits of the peoples
labor. The theory is now boldly set
forth that l2i cents 3 pound for cotton

honest" dollar and q deprecated cur.
rency. The people must submit to de-
preciated and dishonest prices for their
products in order to give the money
power an opportunity to double
the value Of the money it has invested
in bonds aud other loans.
We do not think the people can de-
ceive themselves or be deceived in this
matter. What Shylock and his agents
are trying to do is to hold prices at their
present level. Otherwise there is no
sense or logic in the cry for sound"
money. Gold prices mean low prices,
and gold, or the gold parity, is the only
sound money according to the gold
bugs. Consequently, the gold dollar OF
1873 was not a sound dollar. 1t was SO
cheap that a given quantity Of commodi.
ties would purchase nearly three times
as much Of it as it can purchase Of the
present gold dollars. But the gold dol.
lar Of to-day. with its trebled purchas-
ing power, is held up before the people
as the only sound money.
Now. the people will have to make up
| their minds to choose between the free
and independent coinage of silver and
the gold money that makes low prices
and hard times. If they want low prices
and hard times, all they have to do is to
sit still and wait. The agents Of Wall
street and the money power will see that
they get q continuation Of these blessings.
Shylock is as active as a gray spider in a
| fodder stack.
On the other hand, il the people want
sound prices and honest profits, they will
have to help along the free coinage move
ment and make it successful, for il that
fails they will have no remedy whatever.
They will have to do as the pauper popu'
lation does-grin and bear il and wear
old clothes.-Atlanta Constitution.
