$50 long as we proclaim to the world
that our purpose is to adhere to a sim
gle gold standard until England agrees
To abandon it the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at any ratio will never
come. Supplications in this direction
will be in vain. She spurns them with
the arrogance and insolence that such
cowardly and pusillanimous actions on
our part deserve. What is more, Eng
lands action is courageous and aggres-
sive action, not cowardly supplication.
The issue is sharply defined. Those
who do not favor the free coinage of
gold and silver at 16 TO l, making sill
yer the unit of value as done under the
act of 1892, are for gold standard.
There is no middle ground. Judge
Caldwell.

RAILROAD VALUATION.

by examining the records Of the
county clerks Office we find that the
valuation of railroad lines within the
county is S4,474.44 less this year than
1t was last. The Chicago Kansas g.
Western branch OF the Santa Fe is
lowered 81 ,53i; the Harper and West
ern branch Is lowered $6.530.8S; the
Kansas & Colorado Pacific is raised
$3.50 A. Tins it is seen that the
charge made by the populists last fall
that the railroad corporations, espec-
Tally the Santa Fe, have the republic
can party by the throat was nothing
but the plain blunt truth. Not only
does this reduction Of railroad yalua-
tion apply TO Barber county, but to
many others III the state. The state
board OF railway assessors is RESPONSE
bic for this outrage and the burden,
as usual, falls upon the common tax
payer. We have frequently beed PROM
ised business" administration under
the new regime and such instances as
these Will give us clear comprehen-
sion OF the magnitude of the term. The
arbitrary action of Che state board
concerns every taxpayer directly in
Barber county. 1t means that a corpor-
ntion which can afford to keep presi-
dents, receivers and other high officers
at an enormous salary, is allowed to
defraud the county out of a just quota
of taxes while the resident taxpayers
of the county, those who are trying to
build mp their respective communities
in particular and the county and state
in general must bear the burden. 1t
seems there is no end TO this imposi-
ficn. Such acts as these Oh the part
OF our public officials has retarded the
growth of our county more than all
the dIouths, hot winds and sand storms
combined. Ifany person or persons
are able to pay taxes it is the railroad
corporations; surely they are not so
particular when it comes to taxing the
patrons of the trafIic. Why this favor
itism should be shown to the wealthy
is a mystery which we are hardly able
20 fathom unless, perchance, 1t is an
other form of redemption" In the
language of Voltaire. we say to these
'redeemers, "'Define your Terms"

there is strong feeling in the South
and West in favor of free coinage of
silver.
Mr.. O'Neill says the views of the ex-
tremists who were represented at the
Springfield convention do notrepresent
the sentiments of the majority of the
people of the country, or even a major
ity of the democratic party.
Ii they persist in their course said
Mr.. O'Neill, L believe it Will result in
the futher degradation of silver rather
than its advancement, because the
more this question is discussed before
as an intelligent jury as the people OF
the United States, 1t seems to me the
worse it is for the extreme advocates
of silver .

\ SILVER convention of national i'm

n SILVER convention of national i'm
portance was held at Memphis, Ten
nessee, last Wednesday. Free silver
men of all political parties were in at
tendance and mastery speeches were
made by masterminds. Every state
south of the Ohio and west of the Mis-
sissIppi river was represented. People
OF every pursuit and business ayocation
were there. The laborer, the farm.
er, the mechanic, the lawyer, in fact
every industry was represented and
the sentiment for the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver was over-enthusi-
astIc. The convention was great
demonstration of the power that the
free silver movement embraces. The
only thing left to overcome is party
pride. The cause Of the people will
then be crowned with victory.

and many kindnesses on this occasion.
By unanimous rising vote the con-
vention thanked Mrs. Brice for her
excellent essay.
The people Of White Oak and vicinity
did everything in their power to make
the meeting success, and we think
they accomplished their purpose in
every particular. The sday was very
pleasantly spent and; we believe re-
suited very proftably.:: The choir of
the White Oak church was quite a
feature of the occasion. The singing
was grand ands inspiring. They were
ably, assisted by singers from ether
places, but aside from that, they mani
Tested thorough training and perfect
