GOldbugs' Weak Arguments.

The Rothschilds gold conspira-
tors brought out their heaviest guns
in the persons of Carlisle, Hill,
Eckels and Fairchild last week, and
their speeches, as far as they
attempt to handle the silver ques-
ton are the best evidence of the
weakness and sham of this mono
metal gold fraud. When men OF
such acknowledged ability make
such a ludicrous mess of a subject
as these men made in their attempts
to talk down silver, their cause
must be the weakest possible. They
entirely failed to touch the merits
of the subject but carefully kept
away from it and set up theories of
their own, assumed without the
least basis to rest their ASSUMPTIONS
on and created straw men in order
to have an appearance of saying
something, The speeches of these
men, Carlisle at Nashville, Hill,
Eckels and Fairchild at the editorial
banquet in New York, were the
sOrriest efforts against silver ever
heard.

Wheat.

Wheat has climed up to IS cents
a bushel at the warehouses in the
neighborhood. The fact is, it had
to 60 up or the farmers stop raising
it. They had commenced feeding
the grain to their stock in prefer
ence to selling at prices below cost.
The average cost of producing
wheat is 70 to S4 cents per bushel.
Millions of bushels have been fed
of the crops of 1884. The pro-
liability is that not far from 200,
600, 900 bushels of these crops were
fed to stock and allowed to go to
waste, the price being too low to
Justify harvesting.
Many farmers in this part of the
county fed large portions of their
wheat crops of the two last harvests,
and when farmers in the middle
Atlantic states feed wheat in pre-
ference to selling it, the west must
feed it to much greater extent.
The ruinous prices at which
wheat has been selling for the last
two or three years is clearly trace
able to the demonstration of silver,
the gold corner by shylock and the
fearful contraction of the currency,
and while farmers continue to help
keep either of the two old goldbug
parties in power times will not
mend to any considerable extent.

Last week the Vrooman brothers held
weeks open air revival in court house
square Cambridge, Dorchester county,
and registered the names of more than
one hundred converts to the new gospel
of economic liberty. On Friday night
five hundred people listened all hour,
standing in the rain, to hear how Mary
land could be delivered from the curse OF
Gormanism, and Sunday afternoon fully
fifteen hundred people gathered under
the shady trees and heard how the ancient
prophets aided the common people and
how the devil had traded his horns in
modern times for a silk hat and prince
albert coat and now did his dirty work by
means of political machinery.
The whole mighty throng were con-
WINGED that little of "Thou shalt not
steal" should be mixed with politics, and
that the Peoples party is the only agency
to bring about this desirable end.
In Baltimore the Socialist Labor party
which polled 500 votes last year aud has
doubled its strength since then, has de-
cided to put no State ticket in the field so
that the members of that party can sup
port the candidates of the Peoples party.
Several of the poorer churches in Bal
timore have opened their doors for the
direct advocacy of salvation of society by
means of the Peoples party. Four such
church meetings were held last week and
many people were convinced that it is
impossible for man to be christian and
still support the old robber parties. The
last words of Rev. Walter Vrooman's
sermon in the Asbury M. E. Church to
500 people were: "And now you must
chose between two masters for you cannot
Ser5e both God and GoraNan." X

Still rlOre Evidence of the Cause OF
Depressed Prices.

Scribners' have just published new
work entitled, The Peoples and Polite:
of the Far East, which gives considerable
new and valuable information about the
effects of silver currency in the principa
Oriental countries in their relation tc
trade with gold basis countries.
Mr.. Henry Norman, the English author
says: The manufacturing progress Of
Japan is of the greatest interest to West
ern nations as a rival in manufactures
This is far more serious question than
is generally understood. Gold basis man
ufacturers are actually being driven out
OF the markets of the East by the Jap
anese, and the most competent observers
say that this state of affairs has only just
begun.
In 1873 there were no cotton spindles In
Japan, in 1894 there were half million.
The product of these spindles has increas,
ed from 956,So4 pounds in 1888. to
64,o56,925 pounds in 1892, and new COM
panies are now forming with 81, SOC, ooo
capital.
Between 1888 and 1892 the imports into
Japan of this kind of product fell from
47439,636 pounds to 24,3oS,4eI pounds,
including imports from India as we'll as
England. And this in the face of in
creased imports of all kinds between 1873
and 1892 from SET, ooo,o 600 to $74, 600, 600
All this stimulous of Japanese trade is
attributed by Mr.. Norman to the differ
ence between the value of silver and gold,
which form wall of protection to Japan
of over one hundred per cent, even
counting other conditions equal.
At the outbreak of the Chinese war the
Bank of Japan had $4,000, 900 advanced to
mills for the purchase of raw cotton. As
Is the general practice among private
banks the world over. at the outbreak OF
the war, this bank contracted its loans.
The cotton spinning companies found
themselves threatened with ruin in con.
sequence, and pantc was only averted
by the promise of the Government to
come 10 manufacturers assistance.
This is another Illustration of the ne
cessity of doing away with private banks
of discount as the sole reliance of COM
merce, by having them replaced with
Government banks Of discount, as in that
way and only that way, these private and
manipulative contractions of money loans
may be averted,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1895-05-31

1t is just such contractions of loans that
brought on the 1898 panic in the United
States, and just what has brought on all
the money panics in history.
This tremendous power for evil must be
taken from out of the hands of private
banks and bankers ; every nations self
preservation as we'll as trade and prosper
ity i1nperatively demands it.
The premium upon gold in Japan is
stimulating all kinds of manufacturing
industries into existence, and all at the
expense of the trade, that before 1873 was
done with gold basis nations. The Japan
Watch Co. of Yokohama, is commencing
the manufacture of watches on large
scale. 1t has procured the best machinery
in the United States, and an engine OF
100 horse power to run it.
In match making the Japanese have
driven all competitors from the East.
They shipped five million gross last year
to Hong Kong alone. Japanese cotton
goods have got as far as the Stats Settle
ments, and their clocks now beat Ameri-
can make.
Undershirts, cotton cloths, blankets,
fannels, hosiery, soaps, lamps, tea ket-
ties hats. umbrellas, travelling bags, silks.
brass buttons, pictures, mirrors, towel
lings, etc., ETC., are now made and sold
at price in silver that no gold basis
nation can meet.
In lspite Of these and like facts which
travellers in the Orient are constantly
informing the goldite press of the United
States about there is not one of this press
that has the honesty to admit its truth.
Yet it is in full explanation of the cause
of the depression in the price of wheat
and cotton in the United States to one
half their normal and legitimate value

Debs rIust 90 to Jail.

The Supreme Court handed down a
decision in the Debs case sustaining the
injunction of Judge Woods in the railroad
strike of last summer and the contempt
judgement which sentenced Eugene V.
Debs and other strike leaders to six
months in Jail. The strikers and their
leaders will learn finally, it is to be hoped,
that they have but one weapon with
which they can fight corporations and
courts also, without throwing themselves
liable to laws which have been framed
especially with view to meet all at
tempts at resistance by force. That
weapon is the ballot. 1t is passing
strange that they are ready to resort to
every doubtful method rather than the
one which is the most powerful, sure and
safe. As long as they help to pass such
laws as always place them at disadvant-
age, when corporate power encroaches
on their natural rights they will have to
take the consequences. Experience is a
thorough teacher but tuition is high as

We gave the English our silye

We gave the English our silver
at half price. They took it to India
and Egypt and bought wheat and
cotton with it, as much as they
could buy with their gold, which
was $1.33 worth for one ounce OF
silver. They then shipped over
$6,00O,000 worth of cotton from
those countries to the United States
and were able to undersell our
cotton at 5 and 6 cents a pound.
Our wheat they put down as low as
so cents bushel to bring it ON a
level with the wheat of other
countries which they bought with
our silver which we kindly fur
nished them at half price, and it
was worth as much to them in other
countries af their gold.

The Cecil Wing lauds Carlisle's
Memphis speech as highly as a
speech of Reed, Mckinley or ex
President Hrrrison. He's as good
a republican as any of them, for
republicanism has simmered down
to nothing more or less than gold
bugism. Cleveland ordered the
speech and all the little parrots
chime cuckoo. 1t is amusing to
read the Wings comments of that
stumbling, pointless speech. "The
secretary thinks" this and "the
secretary" said that. What pre-
diction ON financial affairs of the
secretary has ever come true? Will
the Wing hunt up one and compare
it with his silver predictions at
Memphis?
