FiIibusters Reach Jamaica.


A dispatch says the steamer
George H. Childs, carrying a fill
clustering expedition from Key
West, has arrived at Jamaica. 1t
was due in large measure to the
sailing of this expedition last week
that the administration determined
on energetic steps to prevent vio-
lation Of the neutrality laws. The
information states only that the
steamer has landed at some point
in Cuba. The fact that informa-
ton from Jamaica gives only the
arrival of the "Childs" without
mention of the filibusters leads to
the impression in some quarters
that the suspicion directed against
her may prove unfounded, as there
is only irregular information thus
far to show that the steamer carried
the party. Ii the steamer as alleg-
ed, has carried from the United
States a supply of munitions of war
and armed men to aid the rebels
in Cuba, the ircident may raise a
grave question as to the response :
bilty Of this government.

GEN. McCLERNAND ON SILVER.

At the recent Democratic State

nounced for free silver at ratio of

"You can scarcely expect of me

dental aspirants? Are they at your

Are they assisting you in this great
struggle that will determine the
question of equality or aristocracy.

prepared to take part in this con-
test are not the men you are to ad-
vance to high positions in the fu-
ture. Recollect that. Halt, hesi-
tate, omit to follow the men who

Are you prepared to pursue the sy /
tenn which depreciates the prices
of the products of the farm and put
all men still deeper in debt and
misery and ruin? Never in the
world. Gold is the money of the
rich. Silver is the money of the
people. We want a double stand
ard. In abolishing the double
standard they are fighting directly
against the constitution. The con-
stitution provides that Congress
shall constitute money from gold
and silver. If you demonetize sill
yer you have committed an infract-
ion of the constitution.

An Arizonan in Washington.

Albert 9. Bilicke, formerly Of
Florence and Tombstone, and at
present proprietor of the Hollen-
beck House in Los Angeles, was in
Washington recently. In writing
to lady friend-it is not neces-
sary to tell who-Mr. Bilicke gives
graphic description of his doings
and observations in the east.
While in Washington, where he
SAID he was most Hospitality receiv-
ed, he met an old friend in the
person of Thurber, the Private Sec
retary of President Cleveland.
Thurber took Bilicke to the White
House and did the honors. Bilicke
is a species of an amateur photo
grapher, and takes snap shots
wherever the occasion requires.
In the various rooms Of the White
House he took photographs of
prominent men-members Of the
Cabinet and others. While in the
east room of the Nations chef

snap shot, President Cleveland and
his wife entered This was the

With true Arizona enterprise Mr..
Bllicke told the President to stand

surprise swept over the face of the
President and his wife, but before
they could decide what to do, Mr..
Billcke had their facial present
ments. Bilicke naively says that
he would have asked the President
to look pleasant, but he thought he
would be prosecuted for making
such an unusual request.-Horenct

Friends of silver representing 20
states of the south and west held a
convention in Memphis, Tenn, on
the 18th and 18th. Fifteen humid
red delegates, comprising demo-
Gratis, republicans and populists,
but with "honest money" as the
slogan of all that were present.
The resolutions which were ad-
opted by the convention assert that
the recent depression is due to a
conspiracy by which silver was
demonetized. The effect of the
gold standard is to establish one
standard for the creditor and one
for the debtor. The restoration of
silver as money metal on an equal
ity with gold and the free and IN
limited coinage of silver and gold
at the ratio of 16 to ! it demanded.

100000.
The volume was rapidly con
tracted, till 1869 it was reduced to
less than $70O,000,000 for 100000
600 of people, and was no larger
in 1879, when resumption took
place, for 5O,0OO,OOO of people, be-
ing reduced at this time to S14 per
capita.
Of course prices fell in proper
ton. We were told, however, that
the cause of the fall of prices was
over-production. People did not
understand as well then as they do
now that the real cause was the
change in the money volume.
Commodities are always weighed
against money, and where there is
little money more commodities
must be given for dollar.
In August 1865 the war debt of
the government had reached it's
highest point; the total debt at this
time was S2,S44, $40, 900. The
bonds had all been bought with
greenbacks and had cost in gold
from 40 to IS cents on the dollar.
The volume of paper money was
contracted as rapidly as possible
from 1865 to 1878, yet gold and
silver were both money, and we
had the right to fall back on the
two money metals at ratio Of 16
to | for our money supply, and
every dollar of the vast national
wal,debt, and all our state, munich
pal and private debts were payable
in either gold or silver coins at the
option of the debtor. In fact, from
the Republican platform for 1868
and from letters by prominent
statesmen we believe it to have
been the general understanding at
the close of the war that the pub
lie debt was payable in green
backs.
No bonds or other government
obligations were ever at that time
made payable especially in gold.
The interest on bonds was payable
in coin, the pr incipal of the origi-
nal bonds IN lawful money, and of
the refunding bonds, in coin. No
man on earth had the legal or NOR
al right to demand gold payment;
much less had any one the right
TO demand that silver be demone-
tized and gold made dearer, and
then that the payment of all debts
should be made exclusively in
gold.
Why, then was the money stand
ard changed? There can be but
one reason. A change in the mon
ey standard from gold and silver
to gold alone would correspond
ingly increase all debts in the
hands of those who held them.
A proposition to directly in
crease the bonded debt Of the
United States, or any other debts,
would have been too barefaced a
fraud to be made by any one. Nor
would any one have dared to pro-
pose an increase in the weight of
coins as a means of increasing
debts; but if one of the money met
ais could be dropped out the effect
on the other and on debts would
be the same as if the weight of
,Icoins had been increased. Hence
the device TO demonetize silverand
in that way to increase the value
of money, and with it all debts,
was brought forward and clande-
stinely put through Congress.
Concerning this gigantic plot
Morton Trewin SAID in an address
at Eston Lodge, England, in 1889:
"The national debts of Europe
had all been contracted in silver
and could have been properly Iiq-
Undated IN silver. Suddenly and
without word of warning, every
contract in Europe was violated by
the closure Of every mint to silver.
Still il IS only when we pass on to
the deed done at Washington that

the silver question fairly emerges
as the biggest and the bestplanned
financial coup of the century. The
whole affair was vast "job," and

find true bill on the evidence
that comes to us from America"

The real truth is that Governor
Altgeld as shown by the State

less CRIMINALS, since becoming gov

road built SO that they can get over
