The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1895-06-04

A few days ago the goldbugs
of Wall street, through the lead
ing gold basis club of New York
city, a club whose membership
comprises more than three thous-
and of the millionaires of this
nation, announced. through the
columns of the corporate press
that they now control the editor
ial columns of one thousand of
the principle newspapers of the
country, and that they have
closed contracts with the leading
stereotype plate and ready print
houses through which they are
enabled to permeate the country
press with the single gold stand
ard doctrines, vulgarly called
sound money" This club,
which calls itself what it is not,
1.-The Reform Club" has thrown
off its mask, and after announc-
ing that it has been working
secretly for many months de-
clares that not only the metropo-
liam press of the country is at
their command and that they
have untold millions with which
to carry the election for the priv
LEGGED classes IN 1896, but they
openly boast that every infaen-
tial federal officer will be brought
into service to write letters to
personal friends and friendly
newspapers in the interest of the
gold barons, and that all public
speakers friendly to the Wall
street policy and the present ad-
ministration will enter the public
rostrum for the purpose, if pos
sible, OF defeating the candidates
of the people. In its issue of
April %, tie Philadelphia Times,
the recognized organ of Cleve-
land and the plutocratic classes
of the east, editorially says:
There are two issues which
will be paramount in the great
national contest of 1896, and all
other questions will be merely
incidental. They are: First,
an absolutely sound financial
system, that will maintain public
and private credit, and cur
rency that will command conf
dence at home and throughout
the civilized world. Second, the
maintenance of law and order
and the protection of person AMI
property by all the powers of
the government. There are just
two issues for the people to det-
ermine in the battle of 1895.
Whether the new president shall
be republican or democrat is of
little moment, but it is of NOM
ent that we shall have honest
money and honest obedience to
the majesty of the law and the
protection of person and prop
erty."
The kind of money mentioned
by the Times means gold and
national bank notes and nothing
else. And the obedience to law
and order demanded, means gat-
ling gun government, and If need
be military campaign to over
awe and intimidate the people
into a willing submission to the
mandates Of foreign bond-hold
ers and American shylocks. Il
means that in the name of law
and order, compulsion and mill
tary coercion win be employed
to subjugate the masses to the
will of arrogant millionaire rob

DerS- III can mean nOlnlnS else.
For nowhere in this country is
there any organized resistance
to the maintenance of law and
order and we already have an
ample constabulary and judici-
airy in every town and hamlet to
prosecute individual violaters of
the law and protect the innocent.
But in connection with the
porpetuation of the gold basis
theory of money, which more
than all else has contributed to
rob labor and concentrate the
wealth of the many in the hands
of the few, it is declared that the
Importance of maintaining law
and order in this country is of
such supreme moment that it
makes little or no difference
whether q democrat or republi-
can is elected president in 1896,
if he is sound on the two issues
mentioned. Tt is not an infrac-
ton of the law or disturbance
of the peace that they fear, but
that the people will rise en- masse
and throw off the yoke of bond
age that has made them sub
servient to the Nominations and
exactions of an oligarchy of
wealth. The law and order that
issues interest bearing bonds in
violation of the constitution and
buys gold with the hard earnings
of the people to appease the in
satiate greed of aristocratic
money kings. They want to
preserve the law and order that
issues despotic and tyrannical
injunctions to restrain the work
ing people from securing their
natural rights and just remun-
GRAFTON for their labor. They
want law and order that pro-
tects the corporations and the
money kings in their power to
rob industry, cover the homes of
the people with mortgages, re-
duce wages to starvation rates
and pervert anti trust and inter
state commerce laws, to arrest
and imprision every person who
dare resist their rObber rule.
They want law and order that
will exalt public criminals, pro-
tect mercenary capital and en-
throne every conceivable form of
private monopoly that infests the
country with the black plague of
wage slavery and industrial
| death. For this kind of law and
order they want president who
will not hesitate to place tho
gatling guns and bayonets of
the governm eat between the
people and the freedom and the
inalienable rights vouchsafed by
the declaration of independence
and the constitution of the re-
public.

the recent movements on the

A Boston dispatch recently said that the
reasons which induced ex-President
Hudson, of Chelsea, to withdraw from
the membership of the A. P. A. are now
made public Mt. Hudson was one OF the
most active patrons Of the order. He
says: .'It is come now to such apoint:
that the patriotism is put back in second
place. and the one object seems to be
pitching into the Roman Catholic Church.

Servants or AutOcrats, Which? e?

The claim of those street railway
managers who contend, regardless OF
the facts. that no safety fender has yet
been designed sufficiently meritorious to
fulfill their critical requirements is that
they ought to have the privilege of
running their own business In their
own way" But Is II thebc own busl-
ness? Does the public no longer pos
sess rights which trolley corporation
is bound to respect?
The residents OF our American cities,
Scranton included. are all more or less
vitality interested In having these uues-
tions authoritatively answered. If a
street railway company. after acquiring
the pubiic's permission to use the pub
lies thoroughfares for purposes of pri-
vate profit. is to enjoy powers trans
cending the powers of the public which
chartered II; and is TO continue, with
impuntty. 10 main and murder people
because too avaricious to take reason
able precautions for their protection.
the fact should be definitely known. so
that no further charters may be
granted
The impression existing among the
laity now is that 4 corporation which
exists by public courtesy Is still amen
able 20 public regulation; and that II is
high time this fact were recognized by
our law-making assemblies. II this i'm
preston Is erroneous. the people should
be SO informed. While thereis no wish to
deal unfairly with the trolley managers,
Il Is essential TO the public welfare that
these lordly beings be taught the full
measure of their responsibility 10 the
people, If they are under any responsi
bility; and that the obligations which
they now appear to ignore should. If
such longer exist, be made plain to them
beyond possibility OF further evasion.

Ex-Congressman II. q. Horr has issued
an unique challenge to w. H. Harvey au-
thor OF Coins Financial School," to de-
bate the silver question. He suggests that
Mr.. Horr and Mr.. Harvey meet In u con
venient room In Chicago for four success
i've evenings. They will have as an audi
ence no other persons than four stenog-

each of the debators choosing one referee
and the two thus chosen to select a third.
The arguments Of each evening will, after
the stenosrapher's notes have been tran
scribed, be compacted 80 as to make one

evenings there will be four hundred
printed pages, each of the contestants to
have nearly AZ possible one half Not un-
til this novel debate has been printed will
the public be permitted to know anything

published at a reasonable cost and the
expectation is that 1t will command an
enormous sale.

The Religious Garb Bill.

The defeat Of the religious garb bill
In the senate Tuesday is liable to mis-
construction. We trust that Il, will not
be construed TO mean that the senate
Of Pennsylvania favOrs the introduc-
tion OF sectarian influences in the free
public schools. or has no word Of OBJ
lection against the employment. as
teachers in these schools. OF persons
who have previously. BY sacred vows.
unreservedly dedicated their services to
a particular church or faith. Ii such a
view should be taken by any consider
able number OF citizens throughout the
commonwealth. it would be serious
misfortune: and the senators who have
voted to kill the bill would be guilty OF
a grave error OF judgment.
1t IS not only constitutional. but It IS
also business-like that the public which
pays the salaries OF its public school
teachers should receive the undivided
allegiance Of those teachers during
school hours. 1t is neither prudent nor
equitable to expect the state to share
this allegiance with any sect. Whether
the garb be that OF Protestant or
Catholic religion makes absolutely no
difference; 1t is Objectionable in the
public school room whenever it typIfes
a previous dedication Of services ilcom-
patible with the service demanded and
paid for by the state. And public senti-
ment should resist TO the last any effort
to divide this responsibility, no matter
by whom put forth.
Upon these points there Is no safe
room for any possible difference Of pri-
vate opinion or variation in public pol
icy. But It may well be questioned
whether the proper place to regulate
the matter Is not in the local boards Of
control The men who serve on these
boards are usually men OF practical
wisdom and discretion. They are in
touch with the people and as rule can
be trusted TO impose such checks upon
the employment and supervision Of the
instructors hired by them as will salts
fy the reasonable wishes Of the people.
II It was the senate's intention to re-
commit this problem 10 local solution.
good argument can be adduced in justl-
f1cation of Its course. Otherwise, II will
discover that 1t has made mistake.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

The eccentric artist, Whistler. is an
American by birth, though story is told
of his claiming to have come direct from
heaven. 1t seems that one of his models.
after having posed II surprisingly long
time in silence. broke out: "Mr. Whistler,
where were you born?" II never was
born. my child" he replied. II descended
from on high" And she exclaimed:
Now that just shows how easily we de
ceive ourselves in this world. l should
much sooner have said you came up from
below" Whistler. by the way, has quar-
relied with Raffaeli, the great French i'm
pressionist. The other day when Whistler
was mentioned TO him Mr.. Raffaelli
laughed with great gusto and said: "Oh,
he Is an extraordinary man, that Whistler.
l had some meetings with him, and the
last was a bad meeting, very bad, and
now Mr. Whistler does not know Mr..
Raffaelli, and Mr.. Raffaelli does not know
Mr. Whistler"

Secretary CariisIe's Position.

There Is a general disposition
throughout the eastern and northern
states to view with favor that portion
of Secretary Carllsle's Covington
speech in which he says:
/ am in favor Of the preservation Of the
existing standard OF value with such use
Of full Iegal-tender silver coins, and paper
convertible into coin on demand as can be
maintained without impairing or endan-
eering the credit OF the government or
diminishing the purchasing or debt-pay-
ing power of the money In the hands Of
the people. This Is neither gold monomet-
allsm nor silver monometalligm, but II
means that one standard or measure OF
value shall be maintained, and that all
forms Of standard coins In use shall he
kept equal to that standard In the pur-
chase of commodities and In the payment
Of debts. Any policy which would dis
continue the use OF silver as money. by d.
rect legal enactment or by undertaking
It relatively to gold In the coinage laws,
would certainly result In practical gold
monometallism, and, on the other hand,
II Is equally clear that any policy which
would discontinue the use OF gold as
money, by legal enactment or by UNDER
valuing that metal relatively to silver IN
the coinage laws would result In practical
silver monometallism
We interpret this assertion to have
reference, not to a single metallic unit
Of coinage; but to a unit governing the
standard weight and fineness Of both
gold and silver, and retaining in all our
money the sovereign merit Of intercon-
vertibility. The position is practically
Identical with that outlined by the last
Republican national convention; and IL
Interpreted in spirit Of fairness
toward silver can be Endorsed by all
classee Of moderate bimetallists. We
do not believe that programme en-
bodying Independent and unlimited sill
yer coinage at the ratio of 16 to will
carry in this country 80 long as there
u reasonable prospect Of an interna-
tional bimetallic agreement. The most
that friends Of silver can expect is such
treatment Of the American product
as will serve both the purposes Of
sound currency and relieve the western
utaAss Of the undeserved burden put
