"AII Is Not Gold That Giitters,

Editor Herald While we do not under
value the virtue of patriotism but on the
contrary esteem it as the pearl of
great price" yet right now, while there
seems to be a general disposition to
jump on a certain preacher with both
feet, do we feel impelled to say a few
words in his defense.
If there be one creature that crawls
the earth which more than any other
should be utterly annihilated tied to the
tail of balloon with gas light enough to
float it on, and on, and on, until way
above and beyond the boundary line of
the universe into nothngness, that crea-
ture is the hypocrite, the man who is
willing to wear the livery of Heaven to
serve the devil in. And while some
d-mouthed shouters may apply these
last words to the said preacher, l apply
them to themselves and throw them in
their teeth 1t is time to draw the line
in this country between real and pre-
tended patriotism. 1t does not neces-
sarily follow that because a man vio-
lently waves the American flag in public
and shouts patriotism, protection and
prosperity that he is a real patriot. A
man who is for Cuba today for money,
and for Spain tomorrow for more money,
who is for protection today for populari-
ty, and for free trade tomorrow for the
spoils of office, who is for silver today for
personal revenue only, and for gold to-
morrow because larger sack has seen
him is not much of patriot. The
dirtiest Shylock that ever sold shoddy
uses "Old Glory" as q bait to catch
suckers. The pot-house politician who
makes it a practice to always be on the
winning side. If he knows it, may spread
the flag over his desk while delivering a
hypocritical harangue and scheming
to rob the people. You want to throw
the Roentgen rays right down into the
marrow of a man and size him up be-
fore you class him with the patriots
because he waves "Old Glory" at the
present stage of the game"
A skin-flint traitor may shout patriot
ism and pensions who would not give a
starving soldier dime or a loaf of bread,
and who would be willing to send the
country to hell provided he could jump
off on another one, carrying the gold of
the country with him. What the coun-
try needs at this time is honesty in its
public men and disposition to do what
is best for the whole people. Give me an
open enemy in preference to sneaking
hypocrte, so-called friend. This rev.
erend gentleman who refuses to preach
on patriotism at the request of others
may possibly have more real love of
country in his composition to the cubic
inch than some of his detractors have in
their whole body He evidently knew
the unpopularity Of his course, and if he
did not see fit to give his reasons at
length, he doubtless has some, and very
good ones, at least his conduct would in
dictate that he is not an unprincipled
hypocrite for revenue.
Judge not without good and sufficient
reason for your judging. Let us have
peace" WITNESS.

AT DIES ARC.

Dies ARC, Mo-, Sept. 21st. 1896.
Ed. ReglSLer-In accordance with
the request of the Central Committee,
the Democrats of Des Arc Precinct
met Saturday night at the schoolhouse
and organized a Bryan and Sewall
Free Silver Club. The meeting was
called to order by Committeeman j.
NJ. Morris. Josiah Reed was elected
Temporary Chairman. and George w.
Morris. Secretary. After which the
Hon. Joel Hines of Piedmont was in
troduced as the speaker of the evening.
The house was filed, with a goodly
number on the outside.

half. The writer has heard Gen. John

Oglesby and Dan Voorhees,, the Tall
Sycamore of the Wabash" and yet we
never saw an audience more complete
~ swayed than was the crowd Satur
day night, by the earnest, eloquent
words of Mr.. Hines.
At the close of Mr.. Hines address,
PEARSON" Crowley asked permission to
reply, which was granted. He spent
80 minutes in making the usual gold
bug argument. He was forced to ad-
init that free silver would benefit the
farmer, but said it would be calami-
ty to the laboring man. 1 cannot be-
lieve Mr.. Crowley is sincere in his
seeming anxiety for the laboring man.
He is a man of more than ordinary in
telligence, and must know that the
interests of the farmer and laboring
man are the same. The farmer raises
what the laborer and his family live
on, and in turn buys what the labGrer
produces. As the farmer is the pri-
mary producer. prosperity must begin
with him. So, If free silver would
bring benefit to the farmer. las Mr..
Crowley says,) and enable him to con-
sumo more of the products of labor, |
fail to see why the prosperity would
not be mutual. Another reason we
believe Mr.. Crowley is insincere is,
that as soon as he had finished. he got
his hat and started for home. without
waiting to hear Mr.. Hines expose his
Inconsistencies. But his friends child
ed him until he was forced to stay.
And vet we think if he had known
what was coming he would have gone
anyway. Poor Mr.. Crowley! He
knew it was loaded" but did not think
1t would go off with such deadly eff
feet. He will be like the farmer said
of his dog that got run over by the
train: He'll know better next time. "
Capt. Powers was present and gave US
a short speech, and made some telling
hits.
After the speaking. the Club was
permanently organized by electing the
following officers. viz: Josiah Reed.
President; Geo. w. Morris, Secretary;
Robert F. Weast. Treasurer. Com
mittee on Constitution and Bylaws:
j. NJ. Morris, T. P. Fitz and William
Mckee.

and will meet every Saturday evening
at $50 o'clock.

Campaign FaIsehoods.

1t is perhaps legitimate for newspa-
pers in political campaign to make
any assertion or advance any argument
they may think will be effective; but
even the exigencies of a heated cam
paign furnish no excuse for willful
and deliberate lying. We are loath
to think that either the Potosi Journal
or the Fredericktown Nes0S would de-
liberately misrepresent facts where
such Misrepresentation would tend to
injure the good name of any one, even
a political opponent. When the edi-
tor of the Netos gave place to the fol-
lowing extract from the Sedalia Capt.
tai, purporting to be the utterance of
W. j. Bryan at Mount Vernon, Ills,
1t assisted in circulating a falsehood.
The language attributed to Mr.. Bryan
is this:
81 am not a Democrat. am neith-
er a DercOcrat. Populist or Republic
can. voted for James B. Weaver
for president.
No such language was ever used by
Mr.. Bryan at Mount Vernon or else
where. After the lying charge was
made, the best citizens of Mount YER
non, Republicans as well as Democrats,
voluntarily came forward aud made
affidavit 10 the fact that no such Ian
guage was used by Mr.. Bryan in his
speech at that point.
When the Potosi journal says that
VIM. j. Bryan was editor of the Oma-
ha World-Herdld on August Sd, 1898,
and printed in that paper anything
derogatory to Free Coinage it circu-
lates falsehood which was published
by the GIobe-DeD1ocrGt and afterwards
retracted by that paper. Mr.. Bryan
was not connected with the World
Herald until after that date The ar
ticle quoted was published while the
paper was a goldbug sheet.
Republican journals may misreprcseut
the facts as to events and statistics.
for they must have an editorial page on
the money question that will conform
to the st. Louis platform; but when
they put words into mans mouth that
he never uttered their course is mem
dacious. The NesCs and Journal
should retract the falsehoods in regard
TO Mr.. Bryan that they have permitted
to sppear In their pages. as frankly as
the Globe Democrat did.

OCCASIONALLY you hear hide-bound
Republican, who knows but little and
doesn't know that well. saying: The
Wilson tariff has ruined our lead
mines" In this connection we repro
duce the following from an article in
last weeks Pennington Times:
while we believe the lead compa.
MES of our country would be benefited
by the restoration of silver as as pri.
mary money, along with all other
branches of trade. we are also aware
that they are not hurt as much as their
employees by gold standard and low
wages. We are credibly informed that
the St. Joe Lead Co., even at the low
price at which lead is now selling, is
making about 800 net each day.
Counting 313 working days in the year.
this amounts to clear profit OF $219,-
100 per annum, or an annual dividend
on the cOmpany's million and a hall
capital stock of ouer II per cent. This
neat little dividend in appreciated gold
dollars would buy many more luxuries
than cheaper currency would. As
long as our lead companies can dc
that, the stockholders are not suffering
much. But how is it with the '.divi,
dends" which the miners save out oil
their gold-staudard wages?"
