of the prosperous sections of the
world. but it could not be with
such rapid fall in values. II
the rate of interest was 6 per
per cent, the depreciation in
property increased it to 16 per
cent. Today it would take, he
said, billion bushels more of
wheat to pay off the balance of
the national debt than it would
have taken to have paid off the
entire debt in wheat at the close
of the war.
Mr.. Sibley argued also that
the free coinage of silver and
rise in gold would greatly in
crease the trade of this country
with other nations, and would
wipe the commerce of England
and Germany off the seas. The
seat of commerce would be trans
ferred to this country, to New
York and SanFrancisco, and in
two years England would be a
suppliant at the feet of the Unit
ed States.
The United States, before 1873,
had a good team of horses. But,
said the speaker, one dark night
a thief came along and stole one
of them. The other has had to
struggle along with the load ever
since. And now, when the
country wanted to recover the
stolen animal, the thief wanted
to argue the matter, and predict
ed that the horse would balk and
tip over the wagon. But the
country was willing to take the
chances.
| Mr.. Sibley said he was not be-
fore the meeting as presidential
candidate. He was here to help
elect the cause of silver. He did
not care who the candidate was,
SO long as he was loyal to silver.
He was not trying to form a new
party. He was simply asking
Republicans, Democrats and Pop
ulists to exalt patriotism above
party and help win the silver
| fight. There would be only two
parties in 1895, one the party of
the gold trust and the other the
party of the people.
If his hearers should read in
the newspapers that an English
fleet had attacked New York,
would they meet to devise plans
to drive out the invaders, he
asked, and answered. sarcastic
cally, that they would not. The
, Republican clubs would meet
and resolve to act within the lines
of the Republican party, and the
Democrats would do the same.
The English fleet had not bonn
barded New York, but the
] English had been in possession of
New York for twenty years
They must be driven out next
year, or they never would be
dislodged. If the present OPP
portunity to repair the wrong
against silver failed, the last
, chance to remedy it within the
constitutional limits would be
, gone, and only Reputation or
revolution would be left, neither
of which would be desirable
) Much had been said against the
4 goldbug. but there was a bug
that was more dangerous than
all other bugs combined-tht
straddle bug. That bug was the
/ man who favors international
bimetallism. He was the man
: to be afraid of. He appealed to
his hearers to rise up and aid in
4 the work of killing off the strad-
die bug and restoring silver te
/ its rightful place.

But One Issue.

City on May 10Th:
Mr.. Sibley, in opening, spoke
in praise Of Mr.. Rawlins, with
whom he served in the last con-
gress, and protested that he had
not come to Salt Lake City to
enlighten it's people on the sill
yer question. At his home he
had read the Salt Lake papers,
and they had taught him how
well the people of Utah under
stood the question. He and
General Warner had come to get
inspiration from the wild and
wooIly West" They had come
from Macedonia to appeal to the
people of tie West to "come
down East and help u.s." you
don't need orators" said he.
You have many men here who
can profitably speak to u.s. Send
them down there to help US"
For two years, said Mr.. Sib-
ley, taking up the question OF
the evening, the country had
had an object lesson in gold
monometallism. The result had
been great depression. There
had been 5000 suicides in those
two years, many of them trace
able to the stringency of the
times. Property values had
greatly deprecated, and farmers
were being driven from their
farms.
This was not the first time the
gold image had been set UP.
Aaron had set one up. Years
ago he had set up the progenitoI
of the present one. Nebuchad-
nezzer had also set one up, and
had commanded the people to
fall down and worship it. Tbs
letter of President Cleveland to
Governor Stone of Mississippt
was, in his opinion, along the
line of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS com
mand. Three had refused tc
obey the latter command, anC
they had been preserved from
the heat of the fiery furnace
Mr.. Cleveland would find mo-
three. but 100000 voters who
would disobey his command tc
fall down and worship. ''Hear
up the furnaces, Nebuchadnez
Ear, seven times hotter thar
you've got them now" exclaim
ed Sibley, land one who bear:
the likeness of the Son of Goo
will be with those who refuse tx
fall down and worship"
The speaker then proceeded
to dissect Secretary Carlisle'l
arguments. He quoted from ;
speech made by Carlisle in 1877
to contradict his utterances o
today on the financial question
Carlisle, he said, spoke then as ;
plebeian rather than as a ptric
ian. Then he was a tribun,
working for the cause of human
ity, and had not yet become
high priest in the Temple o
| Moloch. Carlisle had said thel
that the worlds stock of metal
was none too large, and he di'
not think it would ever be. I'll
had used the harsh name of con
spiracy to describe the act b
! which silver was demonetizeC
and had characterized it as tn
, most gigantic crime of this G
any other age. There was on
crime, however, said Mr.: Sibley
that paralleled it, that was til
crime of betrayal. Mr.. Carlisl

y London doctor has brought out
some Interesting facts in reference to
nervous diseases. One is that, contrary
to the usual opinion, nervous diseases
are more prevalent and fatal among
men than among There is no
doubt, moreover, that functional nerv-
Gus ailments. such as failure of brain
power. hysteria, hypochondria and pros.
tration are on the increase. This is ow.
ing to the terrible competition of the
struggle for life il modern times. Work
is more exhaUsting than it used to be
and more difficult to obtain. People are
therefore naturally more anxious and
fretted than they We're formerly. III the
matter Of fatal termination, nervous
diseases come fourth in the list. Merry.
Gus ailments are most fatal during the
first year Of life Infantile commissions
are a nervous affection. Then the death
rate skips the years till the age Of 70,
when people begin to die of apoplexy
and paralysis.

1t must be because congress is so bad
and the state legislatures are often SO
corrupt that the cry for direct legisla-
ton "of thu people, by the people and
for the people" is rising higher and
higher. Th9re is a strong movement in
its favor in New Jersey, where the old
race track ring was charged with own
ing a legislature body and bon s. The
New Jersey Legislature itself felt the
stigma attached to it SO keenly that an
act establishing direct legislation came
within three votes of becoming law. In
10 states of the Union bills to this effect
have been Or will 0 0 be introduced.
Direct legislation is, in brief, law.
making by the body Of the people at
large instead of solely by their legisla.
lures. The machinery by which it is pro.
posed to work the direct legislation is
that of the referendum and the initia-
tive. That is to say, legislatures will
not at present be abolished, accord.
ing to the scheme Of the reformers. But
when a law is passed it will not be-
come actual law for 80 days. During
that time, If as many as, say, 5 per cent
of the voters at large sign a petition
asking it to be referred to the whole
people, then it must be SO referred, ard
the people Of the state vote on it. If
there is a majority against it, even
though the Legislators passed it unani-
mously, it cannot become a law. The
people have spoken direct. Again, sup
pose the mass Of the voters want a given
law passed, they apply the initiative
method. Ii a certain per cent Of them
petition for this law, it must be acted
on by the Legislature before any other
measure is taken up. The general as
sembly can do as it likes about enacting
the law, but if it is not passed in that
body the referendum takes effect, and
the whole people vote on it themselves.
If a majority are in favor, it becomes a
law, though every state legislator be
against it. The direct legislation meth
Cd would be particularly available in
municipal government. Already it is in
operation III this country when state
constitutions are adopted Or amended.
Direct legislation, then, consists of
two parts-the referendum and the in
itiative. By the referendum the people
have a final vote Oh a law the Legislature
has already passed. BY the initiative
they force by petition the Legislature to
act on a proposed MEASURE which they
themselves can a%fterward make into a
law if the general assembly refuses to
do so.
