INDEPENDENT AND ALONE.

Twenty two years since the crime of
the cycles WIS committed. 1t was
some years before the business men OF
the country had the least idea that a
great crime against the prosperity OF
this people had been contaminated.
The number of the years had grown
materially from that until the farmers,
the laborers and the wage earners
found out that they we're the special
victims OF tie silent raid Of the gold men
Of England and Wall street. OF course
since the idea has been set up and re-
cognized the howlings have been loud
and incessant, enough 10 to have pro-
duced the need ed reforms if they
could have been secured by such
means; but the people Of the west and
the south have at last found out that
in dealing with such men as those in
habiting LON bard and Wall streets the
Chinese gongs are not available, and
thew are turning toward the weapons
which must win the fight in the end,
If indeed cold steel is not sooner in
vOked. Reason and calm discussion
will prevail if only commerce and or
ganization will nang together for
few decades more. These are slow
processes at best, but when leveled at
such men as Rotbschilds and his
brethren in the bank of England, men
grow old and gray and die and are for
gotten ere they see the first faint indi-
cations of concession.
However there is way left by which
the Door of the United States may be
emancipated from this thraldom-a
thousand times worse than that which
enchainod the negroes Of the south-if
they have the manhood to pursue it.
1t is this: Let monster mass meetings
be held all over the union and let each
meeting draft resolutions calling for
an Extra session of congress to remon-
etiZe silver without awaiting the too
tedious process of international action.
If dozen OF these meetings could be
had in each state between now
and August. congress would be
called in September and the
law would be in operation by January
1st. Let any clear headed business
man of the west sit down and reflect
for au hour upon what would be the
result of all this, and then let him an
swer the question of ''Why don't you
act in accordanceWith the light such ac-
ton would producer" and there would
never again linger the shadow of a
doubt as to the course for patriotic cit
izens to pursue.
While working up a sentiment in ia
vor Of ultimate resumption of free
coinage, we are not to forget that we
gain nothing and lose valuable time
by casting longing eyes over the water
TO see what the gold barons of Europe
are going to do with silver, or if they
have concluded to do anything.
We have it in our power absolutely
TO force free coinage and the double
standard upon the world, and we will
deserve chains and slavery forever if
we refuse longer to use it. Europe
can no more stand out against US than
her great navies can navigate the
dews which lie upon her green mead
ows in the early dawnings. She will
come in at first with angry frowns on
her face, but when the sun of prosper
ity is again shining brightly in conse-
Quence of the restoration of silver, her
frowns will be chased away, and in
stead of the fendish yells of her anar-
chists, the Vaccinations of her COM
mune and the reve1 berations of her
dynamite corps, the glad voices of her
proftablY employed people will prove
Eweetest music in the ears OF her pa
triots.
Independent and speedy action is
the policy now. No more of fine spun
scientific fnapce, but plenty OF sound
money, gold and silver. NOW, is the
wstchword of the silver forces OF the
great west as it is also OF the nation
and every section Of it.
