As We Sow. We Reap.

Day by day, as failures occur and stocks go
down, it is favorite thing for the gold men to
attribute these events to 'free silver" and tell
lis this is what it means. Wait until free sill
yer comes, and then Judge it by its works, but
in the meantime, our dear goldstandard friends,
take your medicine. You are not experiencing
the effects of the coming of free silver, but are
experiencing the legitimate and inevitable ef-
feet Of parting with it in 1873. The hurt to
silver, though thirty millions year, is but the
''fy on the wheel" When silver was thrown
out of its work as money, turned into a CON-
modify and reduced in price year by year by
constantly-increasing and appreciating gold
standard, every other product and commodity
was broken down with it. The whole base
upon which all the securities that Wall street
deals in, and billions more that do not come to
Wall street at all, has been undermined and
crulnbled by loss of products on production, by
low prices brought on yea1 by year by the
growing "standard of value'' that, in 1879,
was substituted for our monetary unit of silver.
We have sown low prices in the foundation,
and are rcaping them in the superstructure.
We are getting, not the coming of silver, but
the legitimate ending in the failure of the gold
policy. 1t has run us to the limit in our basic
operations, and now the enormous and tower
ing structure of debt built upon labor, now
prohtlesS labor, is feeling the effect OF weaken
ed foundations; that is all. Railroads cutting
rates until increased business only means in
creased deficit, factories putting up products,
shutting down, selling at cost or little
under, in order to prevent deterioration of ma
chinery by dleness, the disorganizng of work.
ing force, and, worst of all, the loss of chan
nels OF trade built up during many years, and
now the most valuable part of their capital,
are all experiencing what the gold policy has
done for them, and by and by they will attrib-
ute their troubles to the true cause. When
they do, there will be heavy reckoning.
When free silver comes, rising prices will set
in, and slowly and surely we shall get back to
profit for production, good times, solvency for
all that has not previously succumbed. But,
before that comes, good many industries and
interests will have perished by the wayside.-

HON. PERCY DANIELS OPINION OF
THE YALE HOODLUMS.
NO. 2I.

EDITORS OF THE AGITATOR: l have real
lied, without the recent action of the gang of
outlaws of Yale college, that while the "Queen
OF Sheba, " with her gorgeous retinue and regal
equipage still holds her grand carnivals in the
Eastern states, the Temple of Liberty has come
westward with the "Star of Empire to offer
to the sturdy yeomanry of the great Mississippi
basin, and to those who have carried its life
giving and civilizing influences beyond the
crest of the Rockies, an opportunity to at least
assist in solution Of the complex problems
with which our civilization and genius have
confronted the race.
While realizing this fact before, l think the
Western people should view with alarm the
growing spirit of intolerance and anarchism in
the Eastern states; and in condemning such
exhibitions of lawless1ess and ignorance, we
might also petition the United States court to
enjoin Yale college authorities from allowing
such "wild and woolly" evidences of intoler-
ance.
To further assist our deluded Eastern fellow
citizens to ''ook to the WEST" for more light,
instead of to the East, Mr.. Cleveland should
send battalion of United States troops to aid
the local authorities, in case they should attempt
to protect United States males in carrying the
right of free speech through the rio:ous ranks
of Yale students into the inviting shadows of
New Haven common.
Would it not be laudable move in behalf
of civilized decency, as we'll as law and order,
for Western people who believe it would be
better for the whole country if the privileges of
free speech could be re-established among the
nutmeg growers of Connecticut tolpetition our
once punctillious president to cast aside his
present inocuous desuetude long enough to
send troops into that state sufficient to stop
such scandalous exhibitions of barbarism and
depravity? PERCY DANIELS

THEN AND NOW.

1t is amusing to look over the R epublican
papers of year ago, and read the utterances
of the then great silver advocates who are now
bowling for gold standard For instance, we
picked up copy of the Topeka Capital the
other day, which paper was printed April 26,
1895, and which contains sentiments which are
now branded as Populistic and anarchstic by
that PAPER and the very "emnent'' gentlemen
it quotes. These utterances arc from "Repub-
lican evangelists,.: commonly known as the
Republican League, and their sayings were
then supposed to be (by some Republcans)
mighty good Republican doctrine. Here
few quotations from speeches made at this
meeting of the Republican League;
81 believe in silver and believe in gold.
do not believe in placing one above the other"
Senator Lucen Baker.
"We have creature at Washington who is
called great-he calls himself great-who,
When any of the money kings of Wall street
come down and rub up against him, swells up
a' the flat founder does for a time, and then
lets the gas ooze out in the form of message
t, the American people, favorng single gold
standard. Good Lord, deliver US from such as
he."-Chief Justice Albert H. Horton.
And now comes Judge ]. V. Beekinan, who
was to have spoken in Garnett, for single
gold standard, some weeks ago. Here is what
he said then:
81 can say what l want to as one of the peo-
pie. I have no public position that have to
be guarded in what I say, and l want to tell
you that the American people will ultimately
REMoNETIzE silver. 1t is the duty of the Re-
publicau party to do this The people are de-
mandng it. and we should not dodge it.
In 1896, the people will tend to it, and want
to say to you now that no man, no matter how
brilliant he Is no matter what he has done in
the past no matter how he may stand on other

LON THOMPSON, of Bourbon county, an old
friend of H. N. Andrews, of this city, had a
mortgage of 5000 on his farm. He concluded
that, rather than sell his stock at the present
prices, he would get renewal of the mortgage;
so he wrote to the mortgage company, asking
for renewal. The answer was, in effect:
eyes; we will renew it, but principal and in
terest must be paid in gold" This made Mr.
Thompson hot under the collar, and he politely
told the mortgage company to 60 to country
where they have no ice. He then proceeded
to sell his stock and pay off the mortgage, al
though he did so at great sacrifice
