Big Hog Brledenthai.

\ Kansas Populist paper observes
that John Briedenthal is a politician.
He has been chairman of political com
mittee and led his party to defeat. He
should resign and take his medicine
as many a valiant warrior was forced
to do at the polls. All the election
meant was redistribution of spoils and
a general should willingly share with
his soldiers the penalty &c defeat. This
new system of politics., fighting for
office through the courts, is degrading
and nauseous. Let the reforrners prove
willing instead of forced martyrs to the
fiction that there is something besides
the spoils of Office in politics.
To the above the Topeka Capital adds
the following:
The Peoples party owes very little
to Mr.. Briedenthal Many Populists
who know the inside facts with rela-
ton to the errors of their party and it's
downfall in the election last November
need not be told that much OF the dis
aster was due to Mr. Brisdsnthal's IN
principled management at the most
critical hour in the party's history.
It was Briedenthal whose personal am
bition to sit for six years in the United
States senate induced the members OF
the senate of 1873 and the Dunsmore
House 10 violate the Constitution
and the laws and bring disgrace on
the good name Of the state. The rebel
lion under I.ewelling and Dunsmore
was engineered by BriedenthaL On
the day the session opened it was Bried-
enthal who made a dash at Represen-
tative Wilmington when that gentle
man undertook to address the Repuo-
lican speaker and bring the two houses
TO an amicable and lawful agree
nnent. It was Briedentiral who mislej
the Populists from the rural districts
into the false belief that they had the
right 70 organize the house with les
than a majority OF members and when
they got into The difficulty Of open re-
bellion Il was Briedenthal who induced

couspirator in the disgraCeful proceed

M'KrNLEY'S GOLD TALKS.

Governor Mckinley again, yesterday
morning, speaks To the American peo-
pie. through the Associated Press dis
patches, explaining his previously ex-
pressed silver views But his expla-
nation fails of satisfaction. Only in
an unequivccal denial Of the senti-
ments attributed to him could he have
regained the confidence and support
of his former western and southern
admirers. What he now SAYS is. prac-
tically. but Il reiteratin or the decIara-
tons of both of the last Republican
and Democratic national conventions.
which platforms were intended TO con-
ciliate the west and TO palate the fears
of the east, but the terms of neither
of which can longer satisfy the peo-
pie of either the west or east. ''Bi-

cents worth OF silver coins shillings
or Sill, thus arbitrarily liking the
latter as its real value. Now with
America producing 80 per cent of the
silver of the world her 100000 peo-
pie lack the backbone to stand by it.
In this connection it might not prove
embarrassing to those studying this
question To glance at the worlds pro-
duction of both metals since the dis
cOyery of America. From the most
authentic sources it is found that the
total production of gold since 1892 has
been $3.50 i91 Gto, and OF silver So
500 OH 900 Up To the beginning Of the
year 1885. This gives 10 gold 4J.9 per
cent, and to silver 54.1 per cent Of the
total production OF the two precious
metals From the year 1860 to 1880.
the gold product WAS s90,917, 600. Dur
ing The same period the silver product
was S2fS, $4,000 The discrepancy
was still greater between 1871 ard
1900, when the yield OF gold was S2e36,-
464, 900, and that of silver was $50,
S10,00o, or nearly three times as much
silver as gold. From 1870 until 1860
the scales turned the other way. To
go back 70 1871, it viii be found that
from that time until 1895, the gold
mines of the world produced some
thing like 81 go, 0GO,Go0 more gold
than the silver mines did silver. This
ought 10 be sufficient evidence that
there is no danger Of the world being
flooded with silver, as the gold stan
dard people constantly predict. 1t is
a fact, which cannot be disproven even
by the oddities, that the gold product
has kept ahead all the time between
the years 1911 and 1880. as tn follow
