The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1895-08-24

For people who do not think
for themselves the weight of mere
numbers has great authority. So
when they find evidence of a wide
spread agitation for free silver
they say: "See how the idea is
spreading. There must be some
thing in it," There is something
in it, but it is only what the
small boy found when he cut his
drum open to see what made the
sound-wind. Any scheme which
promises men wealth without
working for it will get some fol-
lowers, especially If it is backed
up by powerful interests like the
silver mine owners. But it will
die out Just as soon as the people
find they have been deceived, as
mast of the followers of free
coinage are finding out.

There may be few people in
the country whe honestly believe
the silverite charge, that the
change in our coinage laws by
which the silver dollar was omit
ted from the list of legal tender
coins, was brought about by Brit
ish influence. OF course the
story about the bribery of Con
gress by the English banker, En-
nst Seyd, is stupid lie, yet it is
repeated as free coinage argu-
ment. 30 all the attempts to
make it appear that Great Britain
is anxious to have other countries
adopt the gold standard, there Is
one conclusive reply. For over
a hundred India, with more than
two hundred millions of people,
has been governed by the British.
Yet the silver standard was estab-
lished and is still maintained in
India by the British Government.
Does that look as though the Bri-
tish gold bugs were engaged in
"striking down the silver money
of the .world?

Thou hast sent me n message, O sea,
From the depths of thy great restless
heart
For this roseate bauble to me
With serious import is fraught.
While the singing of waves in the gloom
Told of treasures that glittered beneath,
While the wind sighing low did assume
The language of love and OF death:
Thou hast drifted and listened, and
caught
To thy lips all this music divine
That He to the universe tanght
Ere the hand of man built mp shrine.
When at length from soclusion cast forth
On the long sunny beach, was il w.se
For people to question thy worth
Pretty trifle vert thou to their eyes,
Little vessel of rose aud of pearl
Whose chambers resound with the sec ---
The song, and the moan, and the whirl -
Thou vert fashioned not nse'e sly. =

Obscure from mems plaudits, feel,
A tidal wave some day will rise
Its beauty to lift and reveal.

PRESUMPTION.

The Echo recommends the fol-
lowing sensible and logical argu-
ment from the Biloxi Herald to
the Mississippi-convention-lovi
people that believe the whimsical
resolutions of a local body are
stronger than the mandates of n
national convention. There
should be no doubt in the minds
of well thinking people, that any
instructions or attempt by our
State legislature to dictate to our
congressional delegation would
be the rankest tyranny. Accord
ing to these dissenters we may ex-
pect Mississippi to secede from
the Union shortly:
BY a head line I. M. Henry,
manager of the Commercial Ap-
peal's Mississippi bureau, asserts
that the Legislature will call on
our congressional delegation to
vote for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver in the event they
disregard the resolution of the re-
cent silver convention. What
right will the legislature have to
make such demand upon Miss
issippi's delegation in congress?
None whatever; neither had the
late silver convention. Neither
a State Legislature or State con-
vention has the power to set aside
the action of national conyen-
ton, and as congressman are
elected upon the national, and
not State, platform of their par
ty congressman are not amenable
to State conventions or State leg,
islatures. They are national of
ficers and are so recognized by the
constitution of the United States,
and for either a covention or leg
islature to dictate to them upon
national issues is presumption
born of the most blinded igno-
rance. Standing upon the ma
tional platform of their party at
the time of their election they
cannot do otherwise than to carry
out the mandates of that platform
If they are honorable, and it sis a
dishonorable act for either con-
vention or legislature to ask,
much less demand, that our con-
gressmen sacrifice their honor to
crafty the fanaticism of that
convention or legislature. No
congressman con afford to stuItify
himself by pandering to q demand
in opposition to the platform up
on which he was elected.

NEW DEMoCRAcy's lNdRAT,TUpR

The most shameful bit of in
gratitdue that has ever come un-
der Our observation is the war our
silver contemporaries are making
on the populite party. In the
name of Reason we asa why they
do it? They have taken popu-
lism's leading plank---free silver
10 to - advocate it in the full
est measure, and yet, abuse that
party on every occasion. 1t IS
the same exhibition of baseless
ingratitude that man displays
when he robs from his friend with
one hand and stabs him with the
other. All! Ingratitude thy name
is "New Democracy" 1t is a
crime stamped with the darkest
hues of shame: it is an infamy; it
is the bloody hand of Cassius strik-
ing blow after blow the back
turned body of Cesar.
This new democracy is a vile
shame to an honorable political
system, and no man with self res
pect should tolerate its precepts.
The silver question as a plank in
the populite party's platform de-
serves at least our respect, but the
advocacy of that fallacy by the
new democracy can only excite
the condemnation of ever honest
man. Stay under the folds of
your banner, democrats; its grand
principles of equity and justice,
like the stars and stripes, will ev-
er protect you.

And dew lies ON the rose,
The South wind fans the pear
And streams flow in repose;
Song birds sing wild with joy,
And skies are strangely fair.

And snow besets my life,
With the world I'd gladly part

Columbus, O., March 6.--The Col

men who led the horses attached TO

coins remains through the streets of
Columbus, en- route from Washing
ton to Springfield. Mr.. Radebaugh
at that time was Chief Clerk to the
Uuited States Assistant Quarter-mas-
ter, the late Col Raymond Burr, To-
Gated in this city.
Speaking of various matters about
the war, Mr.. Radebaugh said he
could give the true account of the es-
cape of Gen. John Morgan and his
thirteen comrades from the Ohio PEN
itentiary. Being urged to do so, Mr..
Radebaugh said Secretary Stanton Or
dered their release. Stanton said
Morgan was being held in a telon's
prison in violation of the rules of war.
The Confederates were threatening
retaliation. Stanton sent secret or
der to Gov. Todd to release Morgan,
The situation was explained to Todd
There was fear that the public could
not be made to understand the cir.
cumstances. There was Intense feel
ing against Morgan among the peo'
pie.
Radebaugh says: "Todd called q
conference with Col. Young, his mill
tary secretary Warden Merton of the
penitentiary; Col, Burr, the Quarter
master, and myself. 1t was decided
TO allow Morgan to escape. Merioi
was to manage the case. We were
pledged to secrecy. Morgan and hi
men understood this. They all walk

depot, where he took the train 70

"Isuppose Governor Todd eithe

part in the affair"
1t has always been believed b
many persons that Morgan bought hi
way out, and Warden Merton wa
greatly censured by the public, but a
investigation under official authorit
cleared his skirts.
The manner of the escape and a
the circumstances seem to indicat
that it could uot have been accom-
plished as originally reported.
