THAT BOYCOTT.
Sovereign Not the First to Taboo Bank
Iapar,


rHrer.
The American people do not want
5O-cent dollar" is favorite assertion
of the gold standard advocate. Il
thank thee, Jew. for teaching me that
word" The American people do not
want a 50-ccnt dollar and the great
struggle now going on between them
and organized greed tears evidence OF
the fact. They are rapidly discovering,
too. what a real "50-cent dollar" Is and
why they do not want it. In the re-
cent controversy between the water
company in Denver and the citizens
many of the latter attempted to cender
the company payment for water SER
vice, but everyone Offering national
bank bills was told that such currency
was not legal tender. In every case
the company refused It and the citizen
was forced to exchange the bills for
some other kinds of currency. When
silver was offered IL was not refused.
In this way many people, for the first
time, understood that national bank
bills were not legal tender. Recently
in Indianapolis a gentleman rendered
the Capitol National bank of that city
one OF its own bills and asked that he
be given gold in exchange. He was
informed that the bank did not give
gold in exchange fer its notes. Three
other banks were tried and each re-
fused to make the exchange. either for
the bank bill or for a hundred dollar
greenback. and the man was informed
by Mr.. Jno. p. Frenzel. president of
the Merchants National bank, that not
bank in Indianapolis would pay out
gold in redemption of any kind of
paper money
Here then is the real. actual "J0-cent
dollar" Of which we have heard so
bank note. That dollar Is not legal
tender. That dollar is repudiated by
its own makers. That dollar Will not
pay debt unless the creditor chooses
to receive IL: while the poor, despised
and much villified silver dollar is a
legal tender, and will pay all debts
Except those protected by that infam-
Gus clause originated by its enemies,
unless otherwise stipulated in the con-
t-act') owed by the people of the
United States.
For this reason the people desire it
and demand that 1t shall be furnished
them in ample quantity and also de-
mand that the infamous exception
clause be abolished. The people not

Cheerfulness.

But cheerfulness is always in place.
except at funeral or dying bed. The
house of God should be cheerful place
and people should come with grave but
cheerful mien before the Lord. Right
in the home, in the presence of father,
mother, all the children and servant, is
where good cheer should be manifest
in looks and speech. So in Gods house
the same thing is becoming. Under the
beams of divine love coming into the
heart there should be light and conf
fort and peace. The situation justifies
good cheer in the soul. and there is
nothing out OF harmony with the &C.

Points for Christians.

The right kind of religious life will
be the very first business Of life.
The Christian should remember that
he belongs to God, as much when he
is breaking a colt or blowing sod. as
when he is singing or praying in
church.
The Christian should never be
ashamed to have 1t known where he
stands, or why he stands there.
The best way to make your loved
ones want to be religious, is to snow
them what religion is.

He, himself, just as He is, without the
addition of feelings. or emotions, or

CARLISLE'S AXIOMS.
THOUGHT HE WOULD KILL THE
SILVER CAUSE.
Hut Like Roswell q. Horr lie Runs
Against snag - silver Standard
Countries the Most Prosperous From
other Ayalls.

Mr.. Carlisle in one of his speeches
delivered himself of five so-called
axioms, which the gold press in the
east is circulating as something pro-
found and unanswerable. They are as
follows:
1. There is not free-coinage coun-
try in the world to-day that is not on a
silver basis.
,. There is not gold-standard coun-
try in the world to-day that does no.
use silver money along with gold.
3. There is not silver standard
country in the world to-day that uses
any gold along with silver.
4. There is not silver-standard
country in the world today that has
more than one-third the per capita cir
culatiOn that the United States has.
3. There is not silver-standard
country in the world to-day where the
laboring man receives fair pay fer his
days work.
We will offset these five with six
others:
l. There is not one free-colnage
country in the world to-day that is not
enjoying uneXampled prosperity, the
only drawback being a foreign debt
contracted on a gold basis.
2. There is not gold-standard
country in the world to-day the prop
erty of which has not shrunken in
value from 35 to 60 per cent during the
past twenty-one years; not one in
which there is not unexampled de-
preston, distress and sorrow.
3. There is not a silver-standard
country in the world to-day that has
any need of gold money except to set
tie foreign balances. and there is not a
gold-standard country in all the world
to-day that the bulk of all gold is not
locked up in the treasury or banks, and
the people are suffering from sound
money" asphyxia.
4. There is not a silver-standard
country to-day where there are any
idle deposits lying in the banks, all
the money being in active circulation
and drawing large interest, and the cir
culation per capita of real money is
just about what it is in Mexico, nearly
all the money of ultimate redemption
being hid away in the vaults of the
treasury or national banks.
3. There Is not a silyer-standard
country in tie world to-day where the
laboring man is not receiving full pay
and more work than he ever received
before. And there is not gold coun-
try in the world to-day where a vast
proportion OF the people are not idle,
and where the wages are above the
rates of 1S49, except where they have
been maintained by the stubborn per-
sistence OF labor unions.
&. There is not a silver-standard
country in the world today where the
people are not doing better than ever
before. And there is not gold-stand-
ard country in the world to-day where
the people are not in more distress
and suffering more loss and apprehen-
sion than ever before-Salt Lake City

BIMETALLIC. Ell?
Queer Bimetaiiists Are Those Eastern
Gold Bugs.


New York Special.-Charles Il.
Jones, chairman of the resolution COM
mittee of the democratic national
committee of 1892, sends the following
concerning the resolution on gold and
silver, about which a controversy has
arisen: l was chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions and also of the
subcommittee that framed the demo-
cratic platform of 1892. Mr.. Patterson's
statement OF the conflict in the com
mlttee room, as described in the news
papers, is substantially correct The
money plank at first submitted was n
straightout bimetallic plank declaring
for the free coinage OF gold and silver
On equal terms. 1t was discussed seven
hours and repeatedly amended and re-
cast. Patterson and Senator Daniel OF
Virginia led the contest for the inser-
ton of the words free coinage of sill
ver.". Senators Villas and MACPHERSON
led the fight against the use of these
words, but not on the ground that they
were opposed to the use of silver. They
declared over and over again that they
were just as good bimetallists and jus,
as friendly to silver as Patterson and
Daniel. They said their objection 20
the words free coinage" was simply
that they had special meaning in GER
tain parts of the country that would be
misleading. Atkins of Tennessee in
troduced the compromise resolution
that was adopted after being modified.
Patterson and Daniel fought 1t to the
end and voted against 1t when it was
put TO vote. | recall the fact made
in the final discussion. Senator Villas
read the plank as it now stands to Pat
terson, dwelling with strong emphasis
on the first clause, and asked Patterson
how IL differed essentially from his de-
mand for free coinage. Every member
OF the subcommittee claimed to be in
favor of genuine bimetallism. If Villas
or MACPHERSON or Bayard had admitted
that the resolution could be interpreted
TO mean gold monometallism it could
not have passed the subcommittee or
the general committee of the convep-
ton. All three of these bodies sup
posed real bimetallism was being in
dorsed when this resolution was
adopted

Gems from william Seeker.

Above every evil we should consider
sin the greatest evil.
When man had no evil within him,
he had no evil upon him.
1t is better to be preserved in brine
than to rot in honey.
What need those fear a cross upon
their back, who feel Christ in their
heart?
Life is only to be desired by those to
whom death would be no gain.
A man may suffer without SHINING,
but he cannot sin without suffering.

Meditation.

Meditation is done in silence. BY 1t
we renounce our narrow individuality
and expatiate into that which is in
finite. Only in the sacredness of In
ward silence does the soul truly meet
the secret-hiding God. The strength OF
resolve which afterwards shapes life
and mixes itself with action, is the fruit
of those sacred solitary moments. There
is divine depth in silence. We meet
God alone."-F. w. Robertson.

A thousand fleets from every zone
Are put upon thousand seas:
And what for me were fayoring breeze
Might dash another, with the shock
OF doom, upon some hidden rock.
And so do not dare to pray
For winds to watt me on my way.
But leave it to Higher VIII
To stay or speed me-trusting still
That all is we'll, and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with
me
Through storm and calm and will
not fail.
Whatever breezes may prevail.
To land me-every peril past
Within His sheltering maven at last
Then whatsoever wind doth blow
Some heart is glad to have 1t so,
And blow Il east or blow it west.
The wind that blows, that wind is
best.

Gods Goodness and Mercy.

There is dew in one flower and not In
another, because one opens its cup ard
takes it in, while the other closes itself
and the drops run off. So God rains
goodness and mercy as wide as the dew;
and IL we lack them it is because we
will not open our hearts to receive
them.

A story, told by an English paper.

truth, evidences once more the mex
orable purity and womanliness OF
Queen Victoria's character. At Wind
scr a party of young princes and prin-
cesses were chattering with members
of the royal household on various mat
tiers. The Queen was present, but was
not noticing them especially, when
heartier laugh than the rest aroused
her interest and she asked to be told
the fun. Now the laugh had arisen
from an anecdote, which was not really
risky, but just a little bit so. There
was o demur at repeating 1t to the
Queen. Everybody felt slightly uncom-
Portable. The Queen said again that
she and Princess Beatrice would like to

The marvel of his long life has not been

little more to Greek scholarship than
has the Marquis of Salisbury to chem

no other English statesman has been
able to address the Italians in their
