The following utterance of Robert
G. Ingersoll completely refutes the al
legged declaration made by him in ia
vor OF the single gold standard:
"For my part, 1 do not ask for any
interference on the part of the govern.
ment except to undo the wrong it has
done. l do not ask that money be
made out of nothing. / do not ask
for the prosperity born of paper. But
/ do ask for the reconciliation of sill
yer. Silver was demonetized by fraud,
was an imposition upon every solvent
man, fraud upon every honest debtor
in the United States. 1t assassins sted
labor. 1t was done in the interest of
avarice and greed, and should be un.
done by honest men,"

I'm q Vigorous Manner He Main.
tains His silver Position.
Senator Vest gave out the following
interview respecting his attitude on
the silver question lately to Washing
ton reporter:
i have not changed my opinions
in the slightest degree as to silver. and
must protest against being called upon
to explain imaginary statements 1
never made and for which am not
responsible. I stand upon the plat
form of the Missouri Democrats made
in August last at Pertle Springs fully
and unreservedly and have never
wavered in my position.
When the question OF repeating the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
was before the Senate /, on behalf of
my colleagues on the committee who
favored free coinage. prepared bill for
the coinage OF the silver dollar at a
ratio of 20 to l. / afterwards voted
with friends of silver in both houses
for the ratio of 16 to l, then II to l,
then Is to l, then 10 to l, then 20 to
l, and finally for the re-enactment of
the Bland-Allison act. We were will
ing to compromise on any of the ratios
named, although we prefer the old
ratio Of 16 to l. The largest vote, 1876,
was cast for the Bland-Allison law, the
next, 125, for the 16 to l ratio, and the
next, 122, for the 21 to ratio.
"If called up again to vote upon
the question l should endeavor to Sc
cure free coinage OF silver as standard
redemption money at the ratio of 16
to l, and if that could not be had,
then at some other ratio which
would secure the requisite majority"

The dude OF the future will be the
farmer. His lot has been ameliorat-

now-they used to be the bogies of
the farm.
The granger needs to do very little
hard work now, and the necessity for
doing any is fast petering out. He
rides to plow, cut, rake, bind; sum

Within 20 years he'll wear a silk hat

He can use it, from Rothchild down to

hands of Judas, the liberty of the
Saviour. When the tax-gatherer OF
Rome came to Christ for the head-tax

fish and took from its mouth silver
coin and said to a disciple, d" Render
unto Caesar the things that are

with it our taxes, to the Roman
government. Silver has always been
good enough money for all peoples
and governments except the usurers
of Europe and the gold-bugs from
whom they came. When Moses went
up to Mt. Sinai to receive the craven
tablets of stone at the hands of Al
mighty Jehovah, and came back he
found that gold-bugs who hated God
and everything good had set up a
golden cafe and were dancing about it
and worshiping it. This SO astonished
Moses that he let the tablets fall and
thus broke all the commandments at
once and for the first time. The gold
bugs, descendants of the worshipers OF
that golden cafe, have been dancing
about it and worshiping it ever since,
and they will continue to do so, even

A Serious Thing, Farmers

Geuda Springs Herald.
In a discussion between two Of our
citizens afeW days since, the assertion
was made by one Of them that "lt is
very doubtful if there is farmer in
Sumner or COwley counties VINO will
ever be able to pay off 81 900 mort
gage on the best farm in either
county if this country remains on a
gold-mOney basis" This proposition
seemed startling at first, but if it is
true is it not time the farmers were
considering the situation which some
of our leading statesmen propose tc
place them in? So long as gold alone
measures the value of all other prod
uCtS, corn can never be worth over
20 cents a buShel, and wheat 80 cents
when an average crop is raised-and
the larger the crop the less the price
per buShel. The actual cost of pro-
duCtiOn of corn is not less than Is
cents per bushel, and of wheat 80
cents. Put your whole 100 acres into
either Of these crops, and if you raise
an average crop each year, after you
have paid your taxes and the most
economical living expenses, how much
will you have left to apply on your
mortgage? If you are 50 fortunate as
to not have a mortgage, how much
will you have left to "lay up for a
rainy day." How do you ever hope
to obtain any of the comforts Of life?
Do not wait until some indefinite
time in the future to figure on these
questions. The welfare and happi-
ness of yourself and family depend
upon an honest solution of such QueS-
tiOns, and it is your duty to examine
into them.

WALL STREET, n. Y, !
March u, 1892. (


Developments abroad this week
have been quite as important as those
at home. The appointment of a re-
ceiyer for the speculative banking
house of MurritS & Co. ends a long
agony among capitalists, and is a long
step toward the final liquidation of
Engand'S latest financial folly. The
continental crisis which has long
been pending seems to be at hand.
The failure of a leading banking
house at st. Petersburg a lew days
ago, the suspension Of Paris bank
today, more intense financial diStruSt
in Spain and Portugal and the politi-
Cal complications at Berlin, all point
Enthusiastically to climax of the
wretChed condition Of financial and
political affairs that has existed upon
the continent for years.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
American Market, no matter how
sound and healthy 1t may be, should
stand still in the face of these events,
and Of Others Of which they are the
precursors.
London having relieved itself of a
surfeit of securities by extensive sales
Of its holding of Americans, and by
so doing has filled her bank vaults
with American gold, is in a position
to take care of its holdings of Argen-
tine securities, for which there is
practically 20 market at present.
English bankers, brokers and in
vestOrs certainly will not touch con-
tinental securities unless they should
fall in value to such figures that might
tempt bargain hunters, for all Of
these securities have been tabOoed il
the London market, and will continue
to be until capitalists determine
whether or not to bring on a genera
war between European nations. 1t i!
Reasonable to assume, therefore, thai
the minor and local financial trouble,
J Of the continent will be limited t
those who are locally responsible fO
them-that is, as far as the miSfOr.
tunes of any nation can be confined
within its own territory.
Out of all this disorder better ant
sOunder condition of affairs will b,
developed by the imperialism of cap
ital, but the process of reaching tina
basis will inevitably be slow, tedious
and costly. A gold basis for none,
circulation must first be established
We must proceed with caution anC
guard well every move made, for tn,
lower orders Of the people are alread

Prudence will therefore dictate a mol
