A FIGHT FOR FREEDOM.

The degradation Of American silver
means American enslavement to Eng
lish capitalists, who got their gold
through the enslavement Of India. of
Egypt and many weaker peoples. These
British gold monopolists are the Tories
of the present rebellion. Wherein is
not the poor mans fight for the rehab-
ilitatiOn of silver as much q struggle
for American independence of British
bondage as the war Of the Revolution
or the war of 1872? Then, as now, the
worst enemies of the American people
were the privileged few who adhered
to English interests in order to enrich
themselves, and who cared nothing for
the welfare Of America provided they
were themselves admitted to England's
banquet of extOrtion. Then, as now,
the mass Of people perceived with keen
and unerring accuracy the merits of the
issue which England's arrogant allies
endeavOred to obscure, and asserted
American rights in defiance alike of
dictation from abroad and treachery at
home.
The fight for free silver is a fight for
freedom, a fight against the British
bondage of gold. In this great struggle
the people are certain to come out ahead
and the people are for American silver.
The American people will not consent
to have the resources. the energies, the
genius of this great nation held in pawn
by Lombard street and the Bank of
England. They will not consent that
American silver shall be forever de-
graded in order that the value of Brit
ish gold should be enhanced. and the
British financial yoke riveted upon the
shoulders of American freemen-a yoke
tenfold more CALLING and oppressive
than that which our forefathers cast off
at the expense Of two sanguinary wars.

IN DEFENSE OF GRADUATES

For several years it has been the
good -natured, but no less unjust fash
ion of the times to ridicule the grad
uate. Day before yesterday Chauncey
Depew, along this line, assured the
graduates at Nashville that they would
never think so highly Of themselves as
then, when they were making their
graduating speeches. When the news
papers run up against any particularly
difficult matter to solve they at once
loosely turn it over to the graduates
to settle it.
There may be some graduates who
believe honestly that they are fitted TO
But they are not all that way. At
least six out of ten graduates dislike
the formalities of graduation. Every
young man of sound sense who leaves
college realizes that he hasn't the world
at his feet; that he will not win his
laurels at the first fire; and that he has
long struggle before him under con-
ditionS and environments of which he
knows practically nothing.
1t may be that the graduating idea.
cerned, is wrong. Much reading and
study has a tendency to eXaggerate
mans ideas Of his own possibilities.
1t is natural for the graduate to instil
a heavy portion of assurance and con-
fidence into his speech, which in after
years will, if he reads the speech over,
appear idle bOaSting. Most graduates
are aware that they will at some future
time feel the humiliation of their grad
uating speeches, but it is amandotory
that the speeches be made and they
would rather bear the charge of being
presumptiOus than err by appearing
weak and wavering in their opinions.
Then the parade Of graduation is en-
barrassing. The graduate views it as
one Of the great events in his life.
Naturally he labors under great mental
excitement and great joy at the COM
pletion Of his studies. Yet he is eX-
pected to get up and reveal the emo
tions and be joked about it. No man is
expected to write description of his
emotions at his own wedding, or to
make speech at the birth Of his first
son, although the mental excitement at
thise times is much the same as it is at
graduation.
The graduate should be given a
chance. He has gained an education
and his self-assurance will wear off
without the aid of the attributiOn by
ridicuIe

CoNS1STENCY's A JEWEL.
