Silver the Cause.

What checked the course of pros
perity in 1898?
The silver agitation. Under the
Sherman law in three years about
s176, 900, 900 of paper was issued
against purchases of silver. The
country did not need such an addi-
ton to the circulation, and gold
went rapidly to Europe. The gov
ernment's stock of gold was redu-
ced lower than ever before, and it
was very doubtful whether the treas
ury could go on redeeming its pa
per in gold. So people made a rush
for what gold there was and locked
it up. Bank depositors got scared
and drew out their deposits. Banks
then had to refuse loans for lack of
money, and merchants who needed
accommodation failed. Manufacture
ers who needed advances had to
shut down. Everybody was afraid
that cheap dollars would be issued.
The advocates of silver kept on in
sisting that they would force the
issue of cheap dollars, so Euro
peans who held American securities
sent them back to this country to be
sold for gold before the silver era
was established. They had been
doing this from the time the Sher-
man law was passed, and this was
one reason why gold had been going
out of the country. GAS mad
man who casteth firebrands, arrows
and DEATH" so the authors of this
devastation point gleefully to the
ruin they have wrought as the rea-
son why they should be entrusted
with the means of completing it

lish bimetalism. The same
is true of the United States,
and the result was gold left
the country while being COIN
ed at the ratio of Is to l and
silver left the country when
the ratio was 16 to l. So we
see that England, France and
the United States have al
ready tried to establish BIZ
metalism Independently of
other nations and all failed
because neither coin will cir
culate when worth less than
their bullion value. There
fore the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio
of Is to l would most assur-
edly result in silver mono
metalism.

The Sound Money Convention.

The sound money conven-
ton, he d in Memphis on
Thursday of last week, marks
an era that will be memora-
bic in after years, and, we
verify believe, will prove the
beginning of the downfall of
the attempt to revolutionize
and degrade the monetary
system of our government. 1t
was attended by representa-
tive men from nearly every
southern state, men who
have the welfare of the cOun-
try at heart, and who verify
believe that chaos in it's most
direful state in commercial
circles would be the inevita-
bic result in the event of the
Inauguration of the policy adj
vocated by the free silver ele>
ment. The vast auditorium
was neatly draped with flags
and bunting and the lower
floor was filed principally by
delegates. The event Of the
occasion was the speech de-
livered by Secretary Carlisle.
The distinguished statesman
when he appeared upon the
stage was accorded a perfect
ovation by the vast audience
which later on hung upon
the words that fell from his
lips. With reason, elo-
quence and logic, he showed
the utter untenableness and
fallacy of the allegations made
by the latter day politicians.
The speech was worthy of
its author and adds addition
al luster to his fame as an or
ator and statesman. Mr..
Carlisle stated that for five
hundred years England en-
deavored to establish bimet-
alism Independently of other
nations and utterly failed to
do so, and that France in ma
king a like attempt changed
the ratio between the two
metals $50 times in 100 hum
dred years, but like England
failed in her effort to estab-

his sainted policy of free and
unlimited coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to /. Neverthe-
less, the good work goes on,
and the cause of sound
money is gaining ground dali
ly. The democracy of the
United States, in convention
assembled, will fling its ban
ner to the breeze, upon
which will be inscribed
Sound money" Fight it
now, if you object to paying
honest debts in honest
money; but follow the demo-
cratic party. Beware, and
do not let prejudice overbal-
ance principle.

WALTER @. GRESHAM, who held
the responsible and honorable posi-
ton of Secretary of State, died in
Washington last Monday. Mr..
Gresham was until 1892, a republi-
can and. was Postmaster General
and Secretary of the Treasury under
Arthur. But his high sense of JUS
tiee prevented his Endorsement of
the Mckinley tariff law, passed by a
republican congress. He not only
voted for the democratic electors in
1892, but exerted himself in behalf
of the democratic ticket, and it is
thought that ne was instrumental in

cratic electors of Indiana. He has
held several positions of honor and
in every instance was faithful to
the trust reposed in him.

of the free silverites and the
advocates of sound money.
The former deal in abusive
epithets, the latter appeal to

perfect confidence that their

PERsIsTENTLY and contin-
uously for months and years
past free silver journals I'M
der the guise of lrienship for
the poor and those of moder-
ate means have endeavored
to array class against class in
the discussion of the financial
issue. The burden of their
song is that the free coinage
of silver would cheaper mon
ey and by that means tighten
the burden of the debtor
class. But in order to strip
the gay deceivers and cham
piOns of the tree and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l of the flimsy
gauze that encircles their bra
zen physiques,i il is only nee
essary to determine who are
the largest debtors of this
nation. 1t will be readily
seen that man without cred-
it cannot be a debtor, there
fore cheap money could be of
no benefit to him in being in
strumental in discharing OBJ
legations. In many instan-
ces throughout the country,
one farmer owes another for
land purchased or money bor-
rowed, and it often occurs
that farmers owe, more or
less, merchants for goods
purchased. But in nearly
every instance the debts con-
tracted will range from $50
to $3.50 and 81, 900. Both
the land and merchandise
were sold when one dollar of
any denomination is equal to
that of any other. Now if

to the following law, passed by the
Tennessee Legislature, on May Z,
1895, for the protection of fish in
this state. 1t provides that any
parties using seins or nets in any of
the streams, lakes or ponds, shall
be fined on conviction not less than
ten dollars, and in case of the use
of dynamite or other explosives or
poison, the guilty party shall be
imprisoned for six months in the
county Jail. Below is the bill III
full:
A bill to be entitled an act for the
protection of fish in the State of
Tennessee.
Section /. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Tennessee, That it shall be unlaw-
full for any person or persons to
catch, kill or wound any fish in any
of the streams, rivers or ponds in
the State of Tennessee, by seine,
traps, gun, grabbing with hands,
gig, poison, dynamite or in any way
or by any contrivance or device
whatsoever, except by rod or line;
provided, first, the provisions of
this section shall not apply to pri-
vate ponds, and, second, to min
nows. not exceeding four and a half
inches in length, which may be
caught exclusively for bait by dip
net not to exceed six feet in length.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted,
That it shall be unlawful for any
person, company or corporation to
build any dam or obstruction across
any of the streams of tie State of
Tennessee, or any fish gate or trap
for purposes of coraling or catching
fish.
Sec. 8. Be it further enacted.
That any person violating any of
the provisions of this act shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and fined not less than $40 nor
more than $50, except that in case
of wOunding or destroying any fish
by means of poison or dynamite, or
any other explosive, whatever, the
person or persons found guilty of
the same shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanOr and imprisoned not
less than six months in the county

punished when used in such lakes,
as heretofore provided by law. Il
Sec. @. Be 1t further enacted.

it would be equally as disad-
vantageous to the farmer who
sold it, because if mo-ey To-
ses its purchasing power, it
would be impossible for the
farmer who received the de-
preciated currency to pur-
chase a farm equal in value
to the one sold, nor could the
merchant buy the same
amount of goods with a de-
preciated currency as he can
now. But let us investigate
further along this line and try
and ascertain what class can
and does obtain the greatest
credit. 1t is hardly to be
supposed the most rabid free
silver journals will deny
that the class who possess the
greatest amount OF property
has the greatest credit, and
because of this fact the
principal debtors are the
wealthy and not the poor
class. Neither will those
journals deny that the prin-
cipal debtors of the United
States are. the railroads, ma
tional and state banks, manu-
factoring corporations, saving
banks, trust companies, be-
sides many other similar Or
carnations. The indebted
ness of the farmers and 9TH
er laboring classes of our
people is very small
when comp tred with that of
the great corporations of this
country, and while the peO-
pie are indebted to each other
to a comparatively small ex-
tent the corporations are in
debted to the people to the
extent of many millions OF
dollars on account of depOs-
its and money loaned. The
BULLETIN has no objection

atiOns, trust companies and

which they assert will cause

The amount ofbullion con

The amount ofbulliOn con-
tanned in a gold dollar is
worth a dollar either in its
coined or unc1ined state,
whereas the amount Of bull
lion contained in a silver dol
lar is not worth more than
81 cents. Self-interest would
therefore cause the "poOr'
millionaires who have theiI
money invested in silver
mines to be in favor of a law
which would give it a legal
value of 46 cents more than
its real value. There are nc
silver mines in the South but
plenty of cotton and corn
fields, hence if the govern
ment's stamp can increase the
value of any commodity, the

ing it placed upon bales OF

other senator from that state cOufQ
achieve such positions of power for his
people. Although making no preten-
sions to oratory, Senator Squire is one
of the most pleasing speakers in the
senate and one of the most influential.
He accomplishes great deal of good
in legislation, by going directly to his
colleagues and explaining to them in
dividually the merits of legislation de-
sired for his state. This kind of work,
done by a popular senator, is much
more effective than public speaking on
oil occasions. Senator Squire has Of
fered to the senate. and a number of
leading senators are now considering,
practical solution of the financial
problem, covering bimetallism in
manner which will seem to be more sat
isfactory than anything heretofore of
fered in thAt direction.
Senator Henry M. Teller, of Colorado
has been continuously in public life
since December 4, 1876, when he took
his seat as a senator from the new
state of Colorado. During the years
1882, 1888 and 1884 he was secretary of
the interior. While holding that Of
flee he was again elected to the senate,
and has remained q member of that
august body, always holding high rank
in leadership. He is regarded as ono
of the most reliable and conscientious
counselors on the republican side of the
senate, and his advice is always sought
by his colleagues before any steps are
taken in matters of important legis-
lation. He is not given much to speak
ing, but is known to be one of the ablcst
orators in the senate or in the country.
He is regarded as man of strict integ
rity, honorable and upright in every
thought as well as every deed. For
many years he has been one of the fore
most champions of the principle of free
coinage of silver. In season and out of
season, at all times and upon every oc-
casion, he has advocated this doctrine.
His attitude has had much to do with
creating and fostering the sentiment
in favor of free coinage which has re-
Gently become so prevalent throughout
the country. He is a statesman of the
old school and his views command re
spect, primarily because they are Sen
ator Teller's views; and everybody
knows him to be safe man in political
and legislative councils. He has al
ways been republican and has never
swerved from his party because of his
advocacy of silver. Other republican
senators have done SO without thereby
aiding the cause of silver.
Senator 10 c. S. Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, who is now making the fight OF
his life for reelection to the senate, is
one of the great men of this age; and,
no matter whether or not he shall be
reelected to the senate, he will com
1nand attention of the country during
the Fiftyfourth congress. He is a
magnetic orator, and a man whom
everybody must like after once claSping
hands with him. He has taken ad-
vanced ground for the free coinage of
silver; and on that account his party
appears to be split into Blackburn and
anti-Blackburn factions. There is no
more popular man in Kentucky than
Blackburn, and yet he is fighting hard
for his position. Ordinarily he would

sums of gold and silver were sent from
these mines to Spain; and finally the
4umas descended upon the peaceful
valley, destroyed the ancient mission of
Tubac, killed the priests and the work
men, and obliterated all traces of the
rich mine. About the beginning of the
civil war this lost mine was again dis
covered by Col. Grosvenor, Mr.. Stark
and a Mr.. Wrightson, of the Cincinnati
Enquirer staff.
An Indian piloted them to this mine
of fabulous wealth, which so many had
sought in vain. But no sooner had
they found it than Cochise, an Apache
chief, swooped down upon them with
his command and murdered the entire
party, about fifty in all. Near the en-
trance to this valley, on the line of the
road, are two mountain peaks, grim and
bleak. They are named Mount Grosye-
nor and Mount Wrightson.
