THE MONEY CUES
TON.
''R izing
t h a t the IN o e y
question is para
mount torall others
at this time, we
invite attention to
the fact that the
d al cOnstitu-
ton names silver
and gold together
as the money met
ais of the United
States, and that
the first coinage
law passed by con-
gress under the
constitution made
the silver dollar
the monetary unit,
and admitted gold
to free coinage at
a ratio based upon
the silver unit.
ave declare that
the act of 1873 de-
monetiZed Silv r
without the know
ledge or approval
of the American
people has resulted
in the appreciation
of gold and a cor
responding fall in
the prices of COM
modities produced
by the people !; a
heavy increase in
the burden of tax
alton, and of all
debts, public and
~private:the enrich
mento of the money
lending class at
home and abroad;
paralysis of indus
try and impOver-
ishment of h @
| people.
NO GOLD MONO
METALISM.
I'VE are unal-
terably opposed to
t h e monometal-
lism which has
locked fast the
| prosperity of an
| Industrious people
in the paralysis of
hard times. Gold
recommendation is
a British policy,
and its adoption
has brought other
nations into fnan-
cial servitude to
London, 1t is not
only un-Amerlcan,
but anti merican
and it can be fast
ened upon the
United States only
by the sitting of
that spirit and love
of liberty which
proclaimed o u r
political indepen-
dence in 1776 and
won it in the war
of the revolution.
We demand the
free and unlimited
coinage of gold and
silver at the r q
ent legal ratio of
IS to l., without
waiting for the aid
or consent of any
other nation. We
demand the stand
ard silver dollar
shall be a full legal
tender, equally
with gold. for all
debts, public and
private, and we
favor such legisla-
ton as will pre-
vent the demoneti-
zatiOn of any kind
of legal tender
money by private
contract.
I'VE are oppos-
ed to the policy
and practice of
s~urrendering to the
holders of the OBJ
legations of the
United States the
option reserved by
law to the govern
ment of redeeming
such obligations in
either silver coin
or gold coin.
AGAINST INTER-
EST BEARING
BONDS.
1--WE are opposed
to the issuing of
interest," t. bearing
bonds of the Unit
ed States in times
OF peace, and con-
denim the trafick-
ing with banking
~syndicates which,
in exchange for
bonds and at an
enormous profit to
themselve, supply
the federal treas
ury with gold to
maintain the pol
icy of gold mono
metallism.
Congress alone
has the power to
and issue
and Presi-
Jackson de-
clared that this
power could not

or in

therefore denounce
the issuance of
as money for
national banks as
in d~erogation of

we demand

FREDhRICk CITY, Md, June odd
Fredericktown, where StonewalI
Jackson came marching down to
meet Old Babara Fritchie, is a town
worthy of note. Though only forty
miles west OF Wa "mgton and sixty
five miles from Htimore, yet, by
some it is reckOned with tue back
numbers, when compared with other
cities.
On my Way to Frederick, a gentle
man remarked, II would not live
there if you give me a houie." On nv
visit To this city | found a different
state Of Things than that | anticipa
ted. especially among the Afro-Ameri-
cans.
Here we have a population of col
Ored people numbering about 1900 or
more, with 500 voters, two public
schools, with a primary annex, sup
porting Six teachers.
Three Strong churches owning their
property and each having a commod-
IOus parsonage, with active and ag-
gressive pastors iwthe persons of Revs.
Fax, Crockett, and johnson.
The large number of Colored Cath
olics also form an important factor in
the community.
Most Of the Secret Orders and bene-
fetal societies of Frederick own real
estate.
The Nazarite Hall is a monument of
industry and foresight.
MFR. Jenkins livery stable. Mrs.

In the 9Th District big fight is on
between ex-COngressman Mudd and

it is almost certain that Mr.. Mudd
will get the nomination.
In Baltimore, the old moss back
ring democrats are devising schemes
to get another chance at the City hall.
Their hope is to divide the colored
vote on nominees for the City COun-
Gil, so as to hold the fort in the t1rst
Branch after the November election.
Should the old ringsters succeed, they
will stand between Mayor Hooper ana
the end Branch and the democrats
who now hold office because OF the
strife between the Mayor and the
Council will continue to feed from the
public crib. I he ringsters Know
that many colored voters are mao
with the council for the defeat OF the
School ordinance, which would have
put colored teachers In all the colored
schools, and it is on this point the
ringsters will make their fight.
AS to the National Democratic Con
vention, it is about settled that free
silver will control, and that the nOmi
nee will be genuine free silverites. The
democrat papers, the country over,
cOnceed that the convention will be
for the white metal by an overwhelm-
ing majority, and that the gold ele-
ment of the party will hardly get a
hearing in the committee on platform.
Some Of the democratic papers sonth,
are yainly striving to check the tide
of sentiment created at st Louis for
BlcKinley, by calling attention to the
paragraph in the platform against
lynching. but the few editors who
opened the question have all the dis
cussiOn to themselves.
