Senator Teller, Of Colorado, did
more than any other great man
would care to do when he led the
boilers from the st. Louis COnven-
ton hall, and by So doing he show
ed himself to be man who loved
principle better thsa party, even
though his utilization with that party
had lasted from the day 0f its birth.

thoroughly than now. = Hammond

The Shreveport Times says:

The Shreveport Times says:
1.-The lack Of money in existence
is not the basis of dull times and
hard times, but the lack of its use
as circulating medium. The con-
spiracy 70 force gold monometalism
upon this country in order that
European gold barons may dictate
the governmental policy of this re-
public and squeeze from the labor
ing classes and producers, not only
the leyltimite profits of their toll,
but establish . usurious interest
that is the product OF burden
some debt en.ailed. until they be-
come the slaves and serfs Of this
gold power.
$50 it has come to pass that the
$50, OOO, 900 IN gold which these
barons Haunt in the face Of the peo-
pie are locked up in banks and
vaults, and boarded in private re-
ceptacles, because its value has
been appreciated, because it is the
basis Of power and speculation !;
because it is made the in
strument, the thumbscrew to extort
the substance from o free and in
dependent people; because it has
purchased legislation to demone-
tie silver; because it has compelled
contraction of the currency to ap-
pIecia:e its value: because it is
made the instrument to bleed the
United States treasury and pile up
the public debt in millions that it
may accumulate the gains Of the
shylocks-greedy, mercilcss. exact
ing--to the detriment aud oppression
Of patient, industrious aud long

When the Democratic convention

strong free silver platform should
be adopted. There should be no

as firm . stand for the

A New York business man who
has just returned from q trip

states. says the great granaries are

such conditions that the agricultural
people are in favor OF free silver.
They are disguised with the pres

The immigrant problem is about
to precipitate another costly strike
among the tailors, says the Manha:-
tan. Just SO long as the ships
dump their cargoes on Ellis Island
there will be a disturbance IN labor
circles. aud consequent loss to both
employer and employe. The KIN
dergarden student in political econ
pmy is ready with his logic when
the question Of immigration come
up. 1t does not need a post gradu-
ate in the sciences Of civil govern
ment to involve the theory tia: with
> lot Of hungry foreigners landing
every day there should be social
strife. Two years ago a deplorable
strike occurred among the journey
men tailors OF New York. After
serious financial loss on both sides
peace was patched up. Another
war will be declared July l, unless
all signs fail. 1t is alleged that
newly arrived immigrants are being
hired for s. a week, and because
this most natural aud logical thing
is happening, there is to he another
strike. While immigration continues
without let or hindranct, there will
be strikes with their consequent bur-
dens of poverty and woe.
Aud yet one Of the planks Of the
Republican platform is to encour-
age immigration.

''There is no Southern and
Western feeling of enmity to the
EAST Legislation has all along
been in favor Of the rich of the
East against the South and West,
and we desire that such shall cease.
The poor Of the East suffer with
the South and West. Because
we complain Of the inequality Of
legislation and demand that the
government shall be for the equal
benefit of all tue people Of the en-
tire country, you say that we are
your enemies. Your are like the
boy who exclaimed. Ma, make

hollers.'
''You have, by legislation that
makes as pay tribute to you, &C.
quired what money there is in the

there shall be no more coined. We
ask for the coinage Of money ac-
cording to the policy Of the govern

No, We have no feeling OF en-

you may be saved. However, it
must be admitted that we are be-
ginning to think that we had better
take a job nearer our size. All we
want is that the government shall
be for the equal good Of the coun-

THE DAISY FOR AN EMBLEM.

Had the leaders Ut the silver

ial law of nature been invoked to
produce . flower that would fifty

ticn Of the bimetalists on tie sub
ject Of money, il is questionable
whether a more appropriate SYM
Dol could have been found or pro-
duced than the daisy-lhe "eye OF
day. as CHANGER calls it.
The daisy, as everybody knows
who has examined it, has 4 yellow
disk in the center, with sixteen
white and crimson-tipt petals
branching out from it or converging
toward it. The sixteen petals with
the one disk in the centre will ade-
quately represent the sixteen to l
which the bimetallsis want estab-
lished or re-established between
silver and gold when both are uesd
as money; while the color of the
petals on the one hand and of the
disk on the other are the colors of
the silver l6 and the gold l to a
dot.
The selection of the daisy as a
symbol Of the silver delegates at
Chicago is stroke OF genius on
the part Of the designer than which
nothing could have been more APP
propriate of more felici,ous and it
needs no effort OF prophecy TO as
sert in advance tha', when the but
ton in exact imitation of the daisy,
for which patent has already been
applied, has been manufactured
for the Chicago convention ard put
on the market, no button that has
ever been seen or heard of i'll this
country of the bnttOn-cult. will ever
be or have been so popular.
The pampas-grass emblem upon
which the Republicans have prac.
ticaliy decided us their campaign
symbol is dull in its color and per-
sonality. If We may use the express
soin, alongside the daisy Of the
Democrats, and is meaningless in
its significance compared with that
bright s'eye of day" on which no
one looks but with pleasure and on
whose charms the worlds greatest
