Senator Dubois is making a
strong fight for silver at the
Cleveland Republican conven-
ton. The Senator said:
lit would be hardly worth
while for us to go into a cam
paign if the National Republican
convention does not declare for
the free and equal coinage of
silver and gold. The eastern
Republicans might as well und-
erstand this right now, and 1
will read the riot act to them.
Senator Cameron is our candi-
date for President. We want a
man who will not straddle or
temporize, but one whose posi-
ton cannot be questioned. Mr..
Allison, I can assure you, will
get no support from US. 1 have
been talking to Congressman
Hull of Iowa, who is in Wash
ington, and he seemed to think
Mr.. Allison would get the sup
port of our entire section, but I
corrected the impression. Sena-
tor Sherman's failure to declare
emphatic opposition to the use
OF silver is extremely significant.
If the Democrats declare for
free coinage they will gain five
Republicans for one Democrat
they lose. We do not care what
kind of platform is adopted, but
we want a man who will sign a
free coinage bill if it is sent to
him"

The silver convention held al
Memphis, Tenn, recently, was a
grand victory for silver. The
following resolutions were pass
ed:
THAT we favor the immediate
restoration of silver to it's form
or place as full legal tender,
standard money, equal with gold
and the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms
of exact equality.
THAT while we should well
come the cooperation of other
nations we believe that the Unit
ed States should not wait upon
the pleasure of foreign govern
ments or the consent of foreign
creditors, but should themselves
proceed to reverse the grinding
process that is destroying the
prosperity of the people and
should lead by their example the
nations of the earth.
1.-THE rights of the American
people, the interests of Ameri-
can labor and the prosperity of
American industry have a high
er claim to the consideration of
the peoples lawmakers than the
greed of foreign creditors or the
avaricious demands made by the
idle holders of idal capital The
right to regulate it's own none
tary system in the interests of
its own people is right which

sell or surrender. This reserved

Another great illustrated Chi
cagO paper-I0 Ddte-has come
out for silver. 1t says:
''It is not only a wise policy
but an honest one, for every one
to show his colors. With this
issue To Date desires to take it's
stand before it's readers for the
free and unrestricted coinage of
silver.
"We have not the space to go
into the reasons in detail which
urges us to take this step, but
we do wish to disclaim any other
reasons than those dictated by
an honest purpose to advocate
an honest measure that seems to
be for the best interests of the
country at large.
Zone of the chief arguments of
the goldbugs is that there isnow
plenty of money-that is, coin
in the country to do business
with. This statement is false,
as can be proven by any one who
will take the pains to investigate
the matter. The amount per
capita is in fact startlingly small
and the free coinage of silver
will afford relief-the only re-
lief, in fact, possible for this
burden on the people. Silver is
the natural money of the people
and to debase it as a money cir
culating medium is nothing short
of a crime.
Let US offer one more reason
for this free coinage of silver.
The development of a country's
resources is it's chance of growth.
What would be said of congress
that would legislate to place bar
riers in the way of the farmer to
prevent him from raising all the
wheat he could for market Is
not the ban placed upon the
coinage of silver a barrier to it's
development ? Is not silver one
of the greatest resources of this
country ? The bowels of the
earth are full of it, it lies there
idle, doing no one any good when
the very work of mining it would

right is a part of every bond, of
every contract and of every OBJ
legation. No creditor or claim
ant can set up right that can
take precedence over a nation S
obligations to promote the well
fare of the Masses of its own
people. This is debt higher
and more binding than all other
debts, and one which is not only
dishonest, but reasonable to ig-
more.
Under the financial policy
that now prevails we see the land
filled with idle and discontinued
workingmen and an ever-grow-
ing army of tramps, men whom
lack of work and opportunity
have made outcasts and beggars.
AT the other end we find that a
few thousand families own one
half the wealth of the country.
The Capitalization of wealth has
gone hand in hand with the
spread of poverty. The pauper
and the plutocrat are twin child
rem of the same vicious and the
same unholy system. The situa-
ton is full of menace to the lib
critics of the people and the life
of the republic. The issue is
acknowledgements of hopeless serv-
itude. Whatever the power of
money can do by debauchery
and corruption to maintain its
grasp on the law-making power
will be done. We, therefore,
appeal to the plain people of the
land with perfect confidence in
their patriotism and intelligence
to arouse themselves to a full
sense of the peril that confronts
them and defend the citadel of
their liberties with the vigilance
that shall neither slumber nor
sleep.
Resolved, That committee
composed of one member from
each state, be appointed by the
delegates thereof in this conven-
ton, whose duty it shall be to
correspond with the representa-
tives and advocates of bimetal-
lism throughout the United Stat
es.
"That this committee shall
have power to cause a national
conference of bimetallists when
ever in the opinion of the com
mittee the cause of bimetallism
can be advanced thereby. Said
committee shall have power to
fill all vacancies"

give employment to thousands,
to say nothing of the benefit that
would result from having an
abundance of coin flow from the
mints into the now empty peck
cts of the people. The history
of our country during the time
when silver ranked with gold, as
a money medium, shows degree
of progress that has never been
eoualed in the records of any
country on the globe. A few
things stand out as phenomenal.
1.-The country went through
the Mexican war without feeling
it's cost. Later it carried to a
successful issue the bloodiest
and most expensive war in the
annuls of history, costing mil
lions of dollars and entailing on
the government debt of W, 49,
236,173, of which over $521, O0O,-
900 had been previous to 1873;
we had built nearly 10000 miles
of railroads and 154, 472 miles of
telegraph; we had increased our
foreign trade from $40, 900, 600
in 1910 to 81, 270, 7O5, 643 in 1873;
we built enormous cities; our
agricultural products had increas-
ed a thousandfold and our manu-
featured goods were supplanting
in the markets of the world the
products of the older nations.
Our government bonds have a
credit that made them the favor
tie investment in all the money
markets of the world, and Ameri-
can securities were sought by
the capitalists of every nation in
Christendom. We had also re-
duced our rates of interest, not
only on our public bonded in
debtedness, but by the statutes
of nearly every state in the
Union. Money was abundant,
labor was in demand and ade-
quately paid, factories, FORCES
and furnaces were crowded with
work, universities and colleges
we're founded beyond the hopes
of twenty years ago; 1000, 900
slaves had been freed and crown
ed with citizenship; the mines of
the country were turning out
millions upon millions of dollars
worth of gold, silver, lion, cop
per and lead annually; and, in a
word, the people were becoming
the richest per capita of any ma
ton on the globe, with one ex-
ception.
"Basing our opinion upon
what we know, upon the actual
experiences of the past and not
upon any arguments advanced
by the sordid money getters, the
Wall Street financiers of this
country and the Rothschilds of
Europe, To Date comes out as a
free silver paper and it shall be
its aim to advance as far as pos
sible it's cause, believing it to be
just and honest"

William Ell. Harvey, author OF
COINS Financial School," is de-
irving an income of $1,000 per
day from the sale of his book.
His school of finance is all right
for himself. .-Marysville Sun.
That's nothing. Uncle Sam
has tried DIR. Cleveland, and DIR.
Mckinley, and DR.. Carlisle, and
DR.. Sherman, and all the other
great medicine men, and he still
gets worse and worse. He has
been complaining of a lame back
for more than twenty years, and
for the last three years he has
been confined to his bed. The
poor old fellows striped panta-
looms have hung up in the bed
room closet for 10, these many
days, and we have heard nothing
but groans and signs from the
emaciated old fellow as he rolled
upon his couch racked with pain
and sorely distressed. He has
seen his property deprecated in
value and his children going
hungry. In 1873 the doctors in
the night time secretly bled him
until half aahis life blood was
spilled upon the ground. In
1889 DR.. Mckinley placed a
hundred pound weight upon his
back to make him lie quiet in
bed, but all in vain; the good old
man has been continually grow
ing worse.
One day not long since DR..
Harvey was called in, and at
once exclaimed:
my God, man, you are being
bled to death p And when he
told them the symptoms that
usually accompany such cases,
nine out of ten of Uncle Sans
children, who were in the room,
leaped with joy and shouted:
That's it You are right |!
Cure him and we will give you a
thousand dollars day p
And the doctor took out a
small piece of paper and laid it
on the table, and then took six
teen white grains from one small
vial and one yellow grain from
another small vial, and wrapped
them up in the piece of paper,
and told the children to give to
the patient three times a day I'M
til November 5, 1896, and their
father would arise from his bed
and walk again.
One thousand dollars day is
cheap if we have only found out
what is the matter with us and
how to be cured.

Crea te Disturbance at the Reopening of
Catholic Church at Buffalo,


Buffalo, N. Y, July 26.-St.
Adelbert's Polish church. at
East Buffalo, was opened this
morning for the first time since
! May 18th. Crowds by the thou
sand focked into the edifice and
engaged in worship, but it took
half hundred policemen to en-
able Father Flaczek, the obnox-
ious priest, to return to the
church from which he fed, so
great was the excitement and in
dignation of the rebellious par
ishioners. AS soon as it was
learned that the church had been
opened, the Poles left their work
and hurried from all directions
to the spot, and soon the streets
were swarming with men, wo-
men and children. -Four patrol
wagons filled with police and six
mounted officers dashed up and
took possession Of the locality
and shortly after Superintendent
Bull arrived, The crowds were
driven away from the church for
a block in every direction. Mar
tial law was proclaimed virtual
ly, as no teams were allowed
within the lines and no pedes-
trians or bicyclists either, Those
who persisted in driving through
the Gordon were promptly ar
rested. Meanwhile the crowd
kept swelling as the time for the
arrival of the priest approached.
About 10 o'clock with a cry of
Here they come," the patrol
wagon, which had been sent to
escort the priest, returned. From
the crowds near and far, who
were watching the wagon. arose
a terrific howl Of derision, and
imprecation of the most terrible
nature were hurled at them.
At 1.2O o'clock the church
door were opened and Father
Flaczek announced that the
church was opened for all who
wished to enter. A tremendous
scene ensued. Thousands rushed
for the entrance, while thousands
of others tried to prevent them
from entering the edifice. The
police kept the crowd in check
and the church was soon filled
with worshippers. The police
remained on guard all the morn
ing and que1led all attempts at
further disturbance. It is feared
that when police protection is
withdrawn there will be riot at
the church.

Rule In Hawaii.
Judge Austin of Hilo relates some in
teresting experiences Of his own while
secretary to Princess Ruth in 1854. At
that time she was the governess of
Hawaii.
He had been appointed secretary,
says the Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
but with orders from Kamehameha III.
that keelikolani should never inter
fere with his work. In that year there
was large gathering of the natives at
Kailua, commanded to assemble by her
in order to explain to the people the
tax laws and to enforce the payment of
taxes. A large lanai was provided, in
which the meeting took place, and she
proposed to address them,
1t was the unwritten law that the
very old and infrp, all cripples and in
curables should be exempt from taxa
ton. The natives were unwilling to
pay taxes, so they prepared for the
meeting.
Mary who We're young men and In the
best physical condition came in, ap-
pear1ng to be doubled up with dis
ease. Many used stats and walked
with trembling steps. Some walked
slowly coughing at every step. Some
held up a leg and appeared to be
cripples. One enterprising native ap-
peared on stretcher, carried by four
OF his companions. When the assembly
opened it appeared like a hospital,
without we'll person in it, and it num-
bered several hundred. The princess
made brief address and was followed
by her secretary, Judge Austin, who
told them that all present would have
to pay taxes, as there was nothing the
matter with them.
At once there was commotion. The
men who were doubled up straightened
themselves out. The coughing stopped.
The men with game" legs moved about
quickly. The man who came in on a
stretcher got up and made speech to
the crowd, showing that he had very
poor opinion of the government. The
staffs were flung aside. In a few mo-
ments fine, stalwart body Of men
were seen taking the mountain road
and moving off with perfect ease, and
