A MIGHTY PEOPLE Rising.

The following extracts from a speech
delivered in the Senate Of the United
States October 30, 1893, by Senator
PETER, at the close of the great debate
on the bill to repeal the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act, Is so sppro-
pirate to the present that we make no
apology for presenting them now to
the readers Of the ADVOCATE:
#
"Mr. President, l wish to repeat q
statement made In the early part of
the discussion, that the movement
which brought this detestsble and de.
Rtructive measure here is the Crowning
infamy Of the century. Party trsdi.
tions had to be ignored In order to give
it introduction here, and the ConVic.
tions Of lifetime had to be violated
in order to give it support. Of the
forty-four Democratic Senators only
seven favor unconditional repeal, and
at least three of these seven had al.
ways until recently been free coinage
men.
"Psrty platforms declare for bimet-
sllism, but the Senate proposes to es-
tsblish monometslllsm; parties declare
In favor of preserving parity between
the money metals, and the Senate
throws one Of them overheard to find
Its price level in the open market with
wheat and corn and cotton; parties de-
clare In favor Of preserving and main
tanning the equal value and purchasing
power of all the different classes of our
currency circulation, but when prop
Ositlon is submitted to IL corporate the
party pledges in the law, 1t has not
support enough In the Senate to second
a demand for yea and nay vote
upon 1t.

"Mr, President, we all listened with
profound sympathy to the pathetic
words of the senior Senator Mr.. Teller
from Colorado Friday, and to the force.
full eloquenCe Of his colleague the next
day. They described pictures which
they saw invisible fingers painting In
the future. My heart goes ont to them
In this hour of darkness. But brave
men as they are, strong and full OF
courage, they know that all Is not Lost
They are big enough to see beyond the
horizon of their own State. They look
far enough to see the fertile fields OF
Kansas, of Nebraska, the Dskotas, and
Of all the great country, and they know
that the vast armies of toileTs In every
department Of industry must suffer
with the miners all the evils which fol-
low the legislation Of this session oI
Congress. Silver mining is but part,
and small part even, of the mining
industry; and miners can soon adjust
themselves to changed conditions.
"But farmers are tied to the soil
They must stay and take what comes
Their homes are at stake.
Agricultural communities will suffer
most from what of evil is In store for
the country. But let me say to min.
ers, to farmers, and to all the rest Of
our toiling millions, we need not long
endure the burdens which this legisla
tion places on our shoulders. We have
within ourselves every element of the
power needed to throw off the yoke

The yenexusIan Commits sion

WASHINGTON, March l9.-The regular
weekly meeting of the Venezuela boundary

in an editorial on Justice Brewers letter:
1.-THE letter is peculiarly welcome as an
evidence Of the spirit in which the commits

have suitable recognition. 1t could not be
more suitably recognized than by leaving

Several of the passengers who were on

was asleep in his berth and knew nothing
of the shooting until informed when he got
up. As the train did not stop and all the
firing occurred on the engine it was not
heard on the rear cars ut all. All hands
were totally ignorant Of any attempt at
