Perhaps Another Examinatiop,

The civil service commission met In prs-
vate session yesterday afternoon to talk
over with the medical examining board the
advfsability OF allowing another examina-
ton. some OF the applicants who were I'M
successful In passing claiming that Ia
physical examination was too rigid. Ths
board also informally discussed the prac-
tieability OF keeping the men who had
proven themselves efficient IN the service
and who had failed simply on account Of
an ailmeat that had happened to them in
years gone by, but which did not materi-
ally effect them in the discharge or their
duties The board Is anxious TO get through
with the entire matter, so that the police
and fire departments can be reorganixed
ard all doubts set at rest. Another meet
ing Will be held tonight. at which some
definite action will be taken.

ONE WEEK MORE.

One more week and this campaign
will have ended. The battle of the
ballots will have been fought and
the result known. What the verdict
of the people will be no one can tell /;
but we can hardly believe that ali
intelligent people can be induced to
bankrupt themselves on account of
prating for national honor.
Millions of the citizenship of this
country have made promises under
the impression that the present silv-
er dollar was genuine dollar and
worth as much as money as the gold
dollar. In fact, the gold advocates
now contend that it is as good as
gold, yet they approve the conduct
of President Cleveland and SeC.GsE
tary Carlisle who have declared that
it is not as good as gold; in fact they
assert it is not With half as much as
a gold dollar.
If it is Ha good as gold, can the
gold bgt5s tell why it was not used
iD2tead Of gold? 1t is as good as
gold, and will remain
if Mr.. Bryan is elected, but
should Mckinley be elected no one
will say then that the silver dollar is
as good as gold. There may be some
Legislation by when it may be re-
deemed in gold, but you viii bid
farewell to the silver dollar.

THE FARMER SILL VOTES.

The American farmers never voted to
demonetize silver; the American people
never voted to demonetize silver, nor did
the people know it was being accom-
plished. Decentralization was the work
OF particular class who saw they would
profit by it, and they accomplished this
demonstration by stealth. II you ask
what class demonetized silver, the reply
is the class that are to-day opposing its
RECOMMENDATION, that is the "Money Pow
err and their agents. They deny that
they demonetized silver, in the face of
the proof, vet they cannot deny that
they are opposing the reconciliation
of silver to-day. Probably fen or TWEEN
ty years from now they will deny that
they opposed its reconciliation
No one but holders Of fixed invest
ments can profit by the demonetization
of silver, and such people have wasted
their energies trying to show how the
farmer and the lsborer will suffer under
d W Jul
system. They forget that the farmer and
laborer are suffering now as they never
suffered before and that too under
the gold standard. They have not only
failed to show anything ON their side
favorable to the farmer; but they have
made ludicrous spectacle of themselves
BY displaying so much interest for the
welfare of the farmer and laborer just at
this critical moment. They know that
the farmer of this country is honest to
the core, and they have tried to impose
upon him by assembling and feigning
to believe that they understand the
question at issue to he one of morals, and
that they, the sweet scented spectators
OF Wall Street, represent the moral side.
They presume to teach morality and to
believe that the farmer (whese daily
practices show more morality than all
their professions could imply is tool
enough to come and sit at the feet of
false teachers and, suppliant ike, beg to
be taught the true doctrine Of honesty

THE CLAIMS MADE BY
FRIENDS OF SILVER.

A falling market means prostra-
ton, panic, paralysis; the down.
ward trend of prices is the path to
industrial perdition; the upward
slope of rising values is the plain
road back to energy and life, the
way out of darkest America into
light of prosperity. This giant evil
falling prices, is caused by contract
ion OF currency, or by increase of
business and changing conditions of
production unbalanced by a due ex-
pansion of the currency. Gold has
caused or permitted a falling mar
ket, and carried the nation far on
the road tO-Hades. For thirty
years We have had falling prices
with consequent oppression of debt
ors, depression of business, and in
dustrial disaster. The trair, of events
has been running to destruction.
Free silver will reverse the lever,
inaugurate rising market, afford a
just relief from overweighted debt,
and stimulate commerce, manufact-
urers and agriculture to new activ-
ity. The first silver dollar coined
viii buy as much as dollar does
now. Silver will rise to $l.2s an
ounce; no one viii sell it for less
than that sum minus the expense of
sending it to the mint, because he
can have it coined into that at the
mint. This increase in value to be
gained by minting silver win bring
large amounts of the white metal
into circulation. The consequent
growth of the currency vo.ume will
raise prices 10, l5, perhaps, ultimate
ly. 20 percent, relieveing dtsbtors and
developing business with an energy
unknown in this country since the
period Of the war. This is the heart
Of the silver philosophy. PROF. Z.

tober Arena.

THE CURSE OF FALLING MARKET

A falling market is a calamity almost
as much to be depiOred as civil war. 1t
ruins merchants, manufacturers and
farmers, throws men out of employ
ment and leads in adouble way to fail
ure depression and panic A very
slight fall between the time a mer-
chant or manufacturer buys his goods or
materials and the time he sells, may
turn his expected profit into loss-he
borrows money to tidei him over, hop
ing next year to recover, but prices fall
further the following year, and instead
OF relief he finds the loan an ever in
creasing weight about his neck. Year
after year he struggles to regain what he
has lost, but prices continue to fall and
his difficulties to increase, until at last
he fails. His creditors, some of them
wrestling like himself with falling pri-
ces, are further embrassed by his bank
ruptcy, and their names are soon upon
the list of wrecks Failures and the
natural impairment of industry due to
the discouragements of falling market
throw many out of employment Hav-
ing no employment they cannot buy as
they used to, and shrinking demand is
added to the danger and perplexities
of commerce, causing a further fall of
prices and new ruin, and so the inter
acting causes continue their sad work
till stoppage and destruction reach such
vast dimensions that We call them panic.
We are told sometimes that over pro-
duction is the cause of business depres-
sion, and sometimes it,is true, but gem
orally 1t is not overproduction but I'M
der-demand or lack OF ability to buy.
There is an overproduction so long as
human3wants remain unsatisfed. The
warehouses are full of pianos, it looks as
If too many were made, but are there not
millions OF families that would like to
have fine piano? 1t is better to devel-
OPP the power of purchase than to cut
down the production, and when a glut
has come wholly or partly from the
shrinkage of the power of purchase, the
cause should be recognized and an effect
made to restore the lost power.
Falling prices are often unjust to
debtors-their debts remain the same,
but their means of payment shrink-the
note calls for as many dollars as ever,
but the number OF bushels of wheat or
bales OF cotton that must be sold to get
those dollars is double what it was when
the money was borrowed and the note
was written.
Here is table that tells the story of
the farmers fall-the Niagara OF agricul-
ture:

A GOOD FIGHT.

On the 9Th Of July last We began in
earnest the fight for the people. Gloomy
indeed was the undertaking at that time.
The vilest epithets that could possibly be
selected were used to belittle and be-
mean all who believed in the equal
treatment of both gold and silver at our
minis, notwithstanding it had been
taught by all political parties up to
within two years past. We followed
the dictates of our conscious guided by
the best lights obtainable from prayer
full investigation of the question at
issue. Since espousing the cause, a
leader has come forth whom we are glad
TO follow. No grander champion ever
led his hosts TO victory, or plead the
cause of truth and justice in behalf Of
his countrymen. Many who at first
thought the steps taken by us unwise
now commend.
We have made the best fight we could
for truth and justice. We have tiled not
to be harsh or severe, but if possible to
persuade men 10 be both generous and
Just. Many have confessed 10 us that
through the medium Of this paper they
have been able to see the breakers ahead
and steered clear of them before the dis
astrOus vortex was reached. We be-
leive We have advocated the life and
prosperity of the debtor class. We are
unable to see the least CLEAN of hope for
them should the gold standard prevail.
Bankruptcy and tenancy is their only
lot.
To us the gold standard advocates are
as cold and hairless as shylock. They
remind us of the tiger that has tasted
human blood and will not cease to drink
until the last spark of lie is gone from
the human being assailed.
We have said our last before the great
battle.
We trust that wise providence will
touch the hearts OF free and generous
people, and even the hearts of those
now expecting to vote for a gold stand
ard. May they hear in their deans in
stead, in reality, the cry of the mothers
and little ones, as they are being elected
from homes they once thought their own.
If the voters will be guided 10y conscious
and not prejudice and cupidity, William
Jennings Bryan will surely be elected
President and all will be well.

JOHN SHERMAN AND '73.

For the CLIMAx.l
On the walls of Engiand's bank,
In England's far off cline,
There hangs picture of a man
Who is guilty of a crime.
A crime that has blighted fondest
hopes
And wrecked the purest lives;
A crime that has orphaned bright
eyed boys
And widowed happy wives.
A crime that has pauperized tie
poor
And doubled the rich mans wealth,
A crime that was perpetrated, sir,
In secret and by stealth.
Without discussion or consent,
That crime our Congress passed;
And when it was discovered
a nation stood aghast.
The:people didn't know they'd lost
OF all their money the better half.
And that at their ignorance
England could afford to laugh.
For our loss meant Engiand's gain,
Aurs tear meant smiles to her;
For it made her the British lion
And us the American cur.
The o,.s,, 10, soA II
Was the crime of seventy-three;
The crime that robbed nation
And enslaved a people free.
And the picture in England's bank,
By Londoners held dear,
Is picture of John Sherman,
England's paid agent here.
Paid to ruin and rob his people
BY deed and dark designs,
To paralyze ali business
By closing the silver mines.
The demonetization of silver
Arrested our nations zeal,
But Sherman increased his riches
Many millions by the deal.
If hell is the place for traitors,
Who to honor have bid farewell,
Then when John Sherman dies
His soul will land in hell.
And as companions of his doom,
Cleveland and Carlisle shall be;
In hottest flames of hell to spend
An endless eternity.

NOT SUITABLE JURORS.

On last Tuesday week We noticed
in the horseback parade several gen.
tlemen who had served, either on
the grand or petit iuries, at the last
September term of the Madison cir
cult court. Their fitness was not
questioned. The horseback parade
was participated in by the best citi-
zens of the county, and while we
know that the gold-bug element
viewed most of those in line as an
archist, repudiationist, lunatics or
fools, we never for once thought that
there opinions would disqualify them
from trying the differences arising
among our citizens.
Mr.. r. r. Burnam is the first to
give expression to the idea that such
men as were in the parade were a
class that would not be selected as
jurors. Should Republicanism pre-
vail, Mr.. Burnam may be jury COM
missioner, if so, the gentlemen in
that parade will be relieved of that
class of public service.
