ANDERSON'S SPEECH.

Hon. r. L. Anderson spoke in
Witness hall last night to a house
crowded to overfowrng. His
opponent and champion for the
god standard, Mr.. Pope Of Jack
sonville, was rot present, but
nothing daunted Mr.. Anderson.
After being introduced in a short
and sensible speech by Chairman
Harris of the county executive
committee, proceeded to launch
forth one Of the most brilliant
speeches in behalf of the
Chicago platform, free silver and
solid democracy in general, that
was ever delivered from an Ocala
stage. Mr.. Anderson was fire.
quently interrupted by shouts Of
applause from the appreciative
audience. His speech was a mas
ter piece of oratory frau.ght with
convincing arguments, merit and
earnestneSs The audience show
ed more enthusiasm than we have
noticed at a campaign speech.
The many ladies seemed to fully
appreciate tho worth of Mr.. An
derson's speech. He spoke for
over an hour and a half and no
one thought OF being tired ard
were sorry when he sat down.
Every one wanted to shake hands
with him. The scene reminded
one of a big camp meeting revival
where every one was happy.

THE SAME OLD FIGHT.

The democratic party would
have been untrue to itself, its his
tory and it's greatest leaders it it
had surrendered to the interests
which demand that it shall aban-
don it's historical policy of bime-
tallism to make cornered gold the
basis of paper credit money for
circulation amorg the people.
Jefferson, its Garlic ST leader. de-
nounced as unconstitutional the
Hamiltonian policy of creating
banks 10 issue money. Jackson,
Its most fearless and aggressive
statesman, gave vital force to its
doctrine and belief by striking
down the United States Bank, an
institution which had grown so
rich and arrogant as TO menace
the government.
Jackson's war On the United
States Bank is of surprising in
terest at this time, not only for
its citation of historical facts, but
for the raralel il shows between
the plutocratic campaign meth
eds of 1882 and 1896.
Then, as now, those in enjoy
IN NJ of special privileges and
extraordinary emoluments were
crying anarchy" and "incendiar-
ism" at those proposing to assert
the higher interest of the people.
Then. as now, those who wanted
to manufacture money out of pa.
per declared that it was the only
Sound" money, and denounced
propositions to coin money as
schemes cf initiation, And then,
a. now, the benefciaries of the
law were unable to realize how tt c
law could be obi ectjonable to the
people and deluded themselves to
the last with the idea that Jackson
and his party were doomed to
defeat.
Will the people be as true to
themselves row IS they were
then? Will they avert now, as
they did then, the dangers which
Jackson, in his blnk veto, pointed
out as threatening the country!
Why not? They are the same
people.

KILLED THE DOG.

A day or two ago strange dog
entered DR.. Newsom's back yard
and tried to bite the cook who was
compelled to run into the house to
escape the beast. She told the
doctor that mad dog was cut

boy, went out to investigate. The
dog bad taken refuge under the
back steps, but was soon run ott
He was trembling violently and
seemed to be in great agony,
swapping and biting everything
In sight, even to the wood work
about the house. The brute then
tried his best to bite the boy who
had great difficulty in beating him
off until he could escape. DR..
Newsom then SHOT the mad beast
dead to the delight of every cne
who heard of it. He says he cat,

SILVER AND PENSIONS.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: How would
the free coinage Of silver affect us pen
siopers? Would we not get just The bullion
value of silver for our pensions? 1t seems
il is a sly way TO repudiate cur Just debts
Our Government ought to be too just and
patriotic to adopt such plan. If you think
this money question is Of Importance enough,
give Us yonr views through your valuable
columns.-LARs f. JOHNSON, Wiota, Wis.
If the free coinage of silver reduces
the value of the dollar to 80 cents, then,
of course, man who gets s12 month
pension would not be able to buy any
more with it than he now buys for Sc.
In other words, his pension, while osten-
sibly remaining the same, would practi-
callv be cut in two, and reduced one
half
If Free Silver means anything, it
means this, and can mean nothing else.
The Free Silverites claim that the dollar
has been enhanced in value that it is
worth, they say, 200 cents. They attempt
TO prove that it will buy twice as much OF
the necessaries of life as it would some
years ago. Therefore they would cut it in
two, and substitute for it a dollar only
worth half as much.
This would mean that all pensioners
all people with money in savings banks
all who have life and fire insurance, al
who work for wages, salaries or fees, al
who have money coming to them in any
shape, would only get half as much a
they now do. They would get just a
many dollars. it is true, but each dolla
would only buy as much as 80 cent
| does now.

THE POPULIsT CONVENTION.

No thinking man is at all surprised
at the proceedings at the Populist Con-
vention at St. Louis. The wild ex-
travagances Of speech and action, the
unstayable gales of gusty, incoherent,
improbable talk, the utter incapacity
to arrive at anything coherent, sensible,
and practicable, were to be expected
from such gathering of the crossroads
and corner-grocery statesmen OF the
whole country.
Say what one will of the old parties,
they are at least sort of competitive
examination system for the men OF pub
lie affairs. Into them goes every man
who is ambitious of political distinction.
He is given an actual trial, and, as
rule, promoted strictly on his merits. A
man who has gotten up either IN the
Republican or Democratic parties has
clearly demonstrated his right to be pro-
noted But it invariably happens that
a number of pushing, active, noisy men
are not given the consideration to which
they think they are entitled. They
have been tried before the people and
found wanting, and their parties, which
do not want to be burdened with failures
and incompetents, put them on the shelf.
Of course, the shelved ones attribute
this to every other cause than their own
incompetence. They attribute it to
corruption" to " intrigues," to "rlngs,"
ETC., and they are ready to join any new
party of reformers," or what not.
They are frequently temporarily sue
cessful in these in getting into office, but
as soon as they do so they demonstrate
the correctness of the judgment of the
old parties in rejecting them. This has
been the almost invariable history OF
third party movements in this country
They have fallen by the sheer worthless,
ness of their leaders.
This is illustrated by the low opinion
the Populist leaders have of one another
Not one of them hesitates in private con.
versation, and frequently in public utter
ances, to say the NEST disparaging thing;
of every other eader than himself he
is ready to believe that they can be
easily corrupted, or swayed by improper
motives, and as to their capacity fol
leading he cannot be too scornfnl
To get all these men into one conven
ton is to produce such ranting, dis
cordant, utterly impracticable mob as We
saw gathered at St. Louis last week.

PENSIONS IN so-cENr DOLLARS.

Does any comrade delude himself
with the hope that if the 50-cent dol
lar becomes the standard pensions can
be brought back to their present rate
by legislation for an increase?
If so, the sooner he dismisses the de-
fusion from his mind the better it will
be.
In the first place, one of the openly
avowed objects of the leaders IN the de-
based-dollar idea is to cut down all
Government expenditures by lowering
the value of the money in which they
are paid. In nothing else are they so
vehement as in this. They want the
interest and principal Of the bonds, the
salaries of officials, and the expenditures
for pensions all reduced by the simple
process of making the dollar in which
they are paid only one-half its present
value. They say "the price of every
thing has gone down, while taxes, sala-
ries, and expenditures have risen. We
can only relieve the people by free
coinage of silver that is, by cutting
the dollar in two.
What hope would there be for getting
pensions increased with these men in the
saddle-with men in control who have
always been the bitterest opponents OF
pensions, and have done everything pos
slble to prevent them being granted,
and to prejudice the minds of the people
against the pensioners?
Let pensioners recall the long, bitter
fight we had to get pensions to their
present status. This, too, was when our
friends were in the saddle
Do we want to go through another
such a fight at our age?
Surely not.

THE highest price reached by silver
in this century was in 1859, when the
full effect was felt of the great gold out
put of California and Australia. In
that year a troy ounce of silver-490
grains-was worth s1.36 in gold. Then
the supply of gold from California and
Australia began to fall off, and the sup
ply of silver to rapidly increase. The
price of silver steadily fell until, in
1872, an ounce was worth but $1.32.
Silver bullion sold in LONDON last
Saturday for 81 3-8 pence FER ounce,
equal to 81 3-4 cents, American money.
That is, silver is worth very much less
than half what it was 81 years ago.

more rapidly, and consequently no other
