We know Of Goodies" of postmasters
too, who have progressed"
Benedict Arnold progressed"
Judas progressed
The people have progressed" too,
but 1t Is backwards, and towards great
err destitution and poverty.
What Mr.. Halls constituents ought
to do with him Is to progress" to the
ballot box and elect him to stay at
home.
Mr.. Halls sensation was that he had
heard that eight senators had voted
for the free coinage amendment who
said they believed that the free coin
age Of silver would ruin the country.
OF course nobody believed any such
thing, and If they did it ought not to
startle the country, because the people
know that there are several times eight
senators that could be relied upon to do
almost anything in the play of politics.
Mr.. Hall tried to justify his change
Of attitude and in so doing showed how
near he was getting over towards the
republican camp. He said:
"But let us take legislative proceed
lngs; take matters of parliamentary
law. My friend from Georgia has had
occasion on this floor to cite a case
where our present speaker varied from
the position which he now occupies up
on the question of counting a quorum.
Certainly Mr.. Reed, of Maine, held at
the time the view attributed to him;
but further investigation showed him
that he was wrong; and when he found
he was wrong, what did he do? Once
when the question arose in this house
as to the right of the speaker to count
quorum, Mr., Reed, then member,
thought that such power did not exist.
But investigation of the matter subse-
quently opened his eyes upon that
question. What is tho result? He
his position upon that great
rule Of parliamentary law, and wrote
himself down what history, after parti-
san prejudice and passion shall have
passed away, will justify, as one of the |
greatest pioneers in parliamentary law |
that ever lived (Applause) That was
A violation Of consistency. l never in |
any public utterance of mine con-
lemned Mr. Reed for the position he |
.ook on that question, and l never in
end to do so; for he was, in my judg-
nent, absolutely correct"
Mr.. Hall then announced himself as
the one democrat from the rural dis
riots, west of the Mississippi, in pure
y agricultural region, that dares stand
Up and say that sound money is the
ialvation Of the agricultural and labor
ng classes Of this country"
Yes, indeed, Mr.. Hall has pro
;ressed" since we knew him in the ALI
Ince, and between the political cow
Irds," to use his own words, and the
POLITICAL traitors, the liberties OF the
'sople Of this country are being cruel
led.

Land is the source OF all wealth.
transportation IS the means by when

from one locality to another; and money

Southern Mercury: Hardly a day
passes that does not record the access

Democrat or Republican. We are just
in receipt of letter from Hon. w. G..
Blanks of Willis Point, Tex, from
which we make the following extract:
AT one time or another in mans
life he is confronted by dilemma
which calls him to halt and serious
contemplation of which horn he will
take. Just such a dilemma is pre-
scented for the consideration Of every
thinking free-silverite in Democratic
ranks to-day. The Democratic party
is a house divided against itself, a
union of dissenting elements, a COM
bination Of faiths so politically in
compatible that it will be an utter i'm
possibility to harmonic them. The
larger faction proClaims with flourish
of trumpets the fidelity to the peculiar
doctrine that we may increase our
prosperity by adherence to principle

strated is ruinous to our financial sue

faction is as unyielding, apparently, in
its allegiance to the doctrine of the
free coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 16.

truism that discrimination against the

doctrine, should | continue with either
wing of the Democratic party, or should
l turn my back upon them and seek the
companionship Of the Populist hosts,
who arc now, and have been since the
organization of their party, staunch
and unequiyocal advocates Of that ia

classes. The majority of the big guns

1t Is no more excusable to be a hypo-
critic In politics than it is to be hypo-
critic in religion. On the other hand,
why should 1 go with the silver wing Of
Democracy? What hope have the men,

the majority Of Democratic leaders.
