SENATOR CALLS TROUSERS.

From the Chicago Record.
The popularity of Senator Call is
entirely with the lower classes-the
cracker element-who consider him
the greatest man on earth, and will
not vote for legislative candidate
unless he agrees to support the SEN
ator for re election whenever his
term runs out. When congress
adjourns Mr.. Call comes home, puts
on gray hickory shirt, pair of
ragged breeches, a coat with large
holes at the elbows, an old tan col
ored, perspiration- stained slouch hat,
and gets into his sulky for an cleo
pioneering tour through the state.
He travels over the sand hills and
through the pine forests, stopping at
every cabin "to pass the time of
day" He kisses all the children,
asks for a "snack" to eat, and when
the farmers wife offers him butter
he always prefers sorghum on his
bread. When night overtakes him
he "puts up" at the nearest farm
hot Sc, no matter how uninviting it
may be, and when he goes to bed
holds out his ragged trousers to his
host and says:
~ snagged my pants in the brush
to day, and I'd be under everlasting
obligations if your good wife would
mend them for me-"
OF course the women would sit up
all night to patch the garments of a
United States senator, and she puts
in her prettiest stitches, but he rips
off the patch in a day or two, and
plays the same game in the next
county. The name of the women in
Florida who have mended Senator
Calls pants is legion, and it is the
proudest event in their lives.

currency may, In a sense, be invested
with a greater or less Importance To
individuals, according to their con :
dition and circumstances.
1t is, however, only difference In
degree, since 1t is utterly impossible
that anyone in our broad land, rich
or poor, whatever may be his occu
patton, and whether dwelling in a
center Of finance and commerce, or
in a remote corner of our domain,
can be really benefited by financial
scheme, not alike beneficial TO all
our people, or that anyone should be
excluded from common and uni
versal interest In Q safe character
and value Of the currency Of the
countsy 81
In our relation TO this question We
are all in business, for We all buy
and sell; SO we all have to do with
financial operations, for we all earn
money and spend it. We cannot
escape our interdependence. Mer-
chants and dealers are in every
neighborhood, and each has its
shops and manufactures. Wher-
ever the wants OF man es ist, busi-
ness and finance in some degree are
found, related In one direction to
those whose wants they supply, and
in another to the more extensive
business and finance to which they
are tributary. A fuctuation in prices
at the seaboard is known the same
day or hour in the remotest hamlet.
The discredit or depreciation in
financial cepters of any form of
money in the hands of the people is
a signal of immediate loss every
where.
II reckless discomfort and wild
experiment should sweep our cur
rency from its safe support, the most
defenseless of all who suffer in that
time Of distress and national discredit
will be the poor, as they reckon their
loss in their scanty support, and the
laborer and workman, as he sees the
money he has received for his toll
shrink and shrivel in his hand when
he tenders 1t for the necessaries to
supply his humble home.
Disguise it as we may, the line of
battle is drawn between the forces of
safe currency and those of silver
monometallism.
l will not believe that if our peo-
pie are afforded an intelligent oppor-
tunity for the sober second thought
they will sanction schemes that, how
ever cloaked, mean disaster and con-
fusion, nor that they will consent,
by undermining the foundation of a
safe currency, to endanger the bene-
ficent character and purposes OF their
government. Yours very truly,

BLAND REPLIES TO CLEVELAND.

BLAND REPLIES TO CLEVELAND.
Ex- Congressman Bland was inter-
viewed at his home at Lebanon in
regard to President Cleveland's
letter. He said:
"Mr. Cleveland says the line of
battle is drawn between the friends
of safe currency and those of silver
monometallism Mr.. Cleveland, un-
fortunately for himself, his party
and his country, from the beginning
of his administration drew the line
sharply between the friends of BIZ
metallism and gold monometaJlism (;
in doing so he has forced upon the
country state of affairs that is in
tolerable to the masses of our people.
Sound money and safe currency,
etc., is but twaddle of words. We
all know that the goldites use these
phrases to escape the unpopularity
and utter disgust of the people with
the single gold standard. Bi-metal-
lism-that is the free coinage of gold
and silver-always gave to the people
sound and safe money, and conse
quent prosperity.
"Gold monometallism is a stencil
in the nostrils of the plain people.
The gold standard may do for the
bondholders and the bankers, but
sufferings of the industrial masses
consequent from silver demonetiza-
ton will not be endured longer
without a struggle, the like of which
this country has not seen since the
late civil war.
"Mr. Cleveland says if the SOUND
money sentiment abroad in the lanG
is to save us from mischief anf
disaster, it must be crystalized ant
combined and made immediatel,
active.
"Mr. Cleveland must remcmbe
that this capitalization and combina
ton of the gold standard sentimen
and methods has brought disaster t.
