A LITTLE STORY.

From the Populistic platform

From the Porulstic platform:
I'VE demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio OF 16 to l. without wait
ing for the aid or consent OF any other
The Republicans also see the distress
that has come to the people. ana thelr
idea of the remedy. as expressed by MAJOR
Mckinley, is this: a..
eft Is a good deal better to open up the
mills of the United States TO the labor OF
Americans than to open up the mlhls OF
the United States 10 the SILVER OIL the
world. "-Goldbug Exchange.
This calls to mind Mr.. Bryan's reply
10 an interruption during one Of his
speeches. Mr.. Bryan demanded the
opening of the minis to the free coinage
of silver with gold as the only remedy
for our financial ills.
"Why not open the mills" shouteq
a man in his audience.
Mr.. Bryan replied by telling of the
man whose wagon became stalled in the
mud. The horse struggled to pull the
wagon. but the wagon wouldn't bulge.
A stranger happening along asked him
WHY he didn't get a horse that would CO.
The man replied that the horse would go
all right if he could Only get the wagon
started.
So it is in Uncle Sans case. IAe
industrial horse will go all right il he
can only get the finacial wagon start
ed. It is stalled in the hardening mud
of a contracted currency.

the City Hall, in disorderly group
shouting fer Mayer McKisson to appear
and grant them a permit to debate on
this square. Up the main stairway they
tramped, and soon the big hall was filled
with the indignant men. But the Mayor
was not in.
They returned to the square, when the
discussion was cnce more resumed andl
4 prominent local free silverite mounted
the band stand and proceeded to address
the crowd. He was speaking OF freedom
and liberty when a policeman grabbed
him by the collar and placed him under
arrest.
This, naturally, came very near pre-
cipita,ing a riot, and it would have had
not the crowd been inclined TO be order
" and well-behaved.T The crowd again re-
assembled and were about to be address
cd by Presiden: Witt, Of the Central La
Dor Union and another free coinage ad-
vocate, when the police charged the
crowd again and arrested both speakers.
Later a representative Of the Boiler
Makers Union was arrested for talking
silver in the square and locked up.
This high-handed business has natur-
ally had thu effect of stirring up the peo-
pie of Cleveland-es especially tue work
ingmen-to the boiling point. The right
of the people TO discuss in ne public
square was not disputed until the silver
nm had begun to carry all before them.

looking package on the desk, with the
remark that he did not expect to open
that package except as a last resort; also
invited anybody to ask any question de-
sired and ne would guarantee they would
be politely and irrefu;ably answered,
both OF which he failed to fulfill. He
doubtless regretted mis- invitation for
questions, as he had plenty of them &c
answer. which, instead of answering in
a polite manner, II was done invariably
in a manner TO bring ridicule on the
questioner and raise a laugh at his ex-
pense. However, that plan, mean as Il
was. did not silence the questions fired
at him. Every now and then ne would
refer 10 the little package on the desk
his urium and thummin, in which was
contained ample material 10 refute and
settle all doubtful or disputed questions.
The audience, which was made up OF Re-
publicans. Democrats, POpulists, Prohi-
bition!sts, women and children, gener-
ously refrained from having the package
opcned. The Captain made the assertion
that the stamp of the government could
not and would not regulate the value or
money. that being beyond their power.
Ii could only give to tia cirulating in
fiuence; also, that every advocate OF free
coinage was following delusiye phan-
tom of dishonor and reputation; in
short. his speech consisted only Of abuse
and distorted stat ments CT the Demo-
craft and Silver party.
The honorable gentleman surely pre-
sumed largely on the lack OF intelligence
on The part of his auditors. In his lack
OF logical argument depends largely on
firing off stale jokes that were thread
bare when he WIS in swaddling clothes,
thus raising q little harmless diversion
to kill time. He stated tn per capita
amounted 10 $22 in the United States
This would include all the government
reserve fund which is never in cirula-
ton. Wha. is ne led, he says, is no.
more circulation, but more distribution.
That mode Of reasoning sounds like a re-
divide.
The Democrats regard the speech as
quite a benefit to ths cause of free sill
yer, and hope Mr.. Dovener Will call
again.
