to cause some folk to worry and think that the
monetary outlook is MT yet clear There are
Just enough people who worry the silver
agitation In the Democratic party to cause an
element OF uncertainty In all markets and
though the great majority Of people believe alb
solutciy In the success IF St. Louis ticket in
the fall. they are restrained to a certain extent
from expanding their business by the fears eX-
pressed by those who cannot drive away the
free-sver boyle.
People who out Of curiosity. attended the
mass meeting in Cooper Union few nights ago
TO hear Senator Tillman and Otl er representa-
tives Of financial ignorance hold forth saw
that a large percentage of the audience was
made up of followers Of John Most and his kind
The organization and shouters for free silver
throughout the country are. in great part re-
cruits from the Anarchists. Populists. Socialists
ard unsound- money Democrats They do not
represent the honest and intelligent farmer ana
workingman. and the free-silver Orator, who
seys that the farmers and w0rkingmen Will seek
TO repudate their debts does not know where
Of he speaks. The farmers and workingmen OF
this country are honest people. If they are
de btors they will settle their debts or a doiar
with a dollar of 100 cents and not with one or
10 cents. The farmers and workingmen are
branded dishonest by free-silver orators when
the suggestion is made 10 them to pay their
debts with 50-cent dollar, and the prediction
is here ventured that the farmers ana working
men will rise in the fall and prove by Their
votes that they understand the falsity ana de-
ception Of a silver scheme which can enrich only
mine owners and their political agents. The
Popusts. Socialists, Anarchists ana uhsonnu-
money Democrats do not outnunDer ihe h"he,t
people In this country, and the honest people
will win the fall election.
