M,cLEARY's NOTIONS.

A Chicago dispatch of this week says:
Congressman McCleary, of the Second
Minnesota district, before this campaign
is over, will be one Of the best advertised
sound money Republicans in the United
States. Yesterday afternoon called on
NJ. j. Bowling, secretary Of the National
Republican League, at the Auditorium
Headquarters. Bowling was opening his
second lot of convention mail, and OF the
40 letters before him nearly every one
and they were from all parts Of the coun-
try-had to do with McCleary's speech.
In every case the speech was spoken OF
in the highest terms, and orders were
placed for extra supplies OF it. The ma
tional league has already sent out on re-
quest 10000 copies Of the speech, and In
corner of Dowling's Office IS a consign-
ment of 10000 copies, which came in
last Saturday. The demand is not con-
fined to Republicans. Bowling told me
that a, great many of his letters asking
for copies were from sound money DEM
ocrats.
!. This is the precious speech which has
been 50 ably criticised In. another col
u1nn of this issue Of the Irish Standard.

general sentiment Of the moneyed classes

measure which guarantees anything less
than an unrestricted coinage for gold
and silver alike, as pledged in the Demo
cratic national Platform. Let us pre-

continue to hold out free coinage as the
goal which the country must ultimately
reach. The triumph Of the monometal-
lists will be but temporary
There is not a word in that statement
that any Intelligent free silver man could
object to and if Hill had maintained that
position he would have been peerless in

has continued its advocacy Of the white
metal from the start In its last issue
it says:

streets of Paris during the Revolution,

greeted every new measure that emanat-
ed from the Revolutionary jlnta.
The people Of this country are in. the

Bourbons are making a supreme effort
to establish their power over the in
surgent populace. They tel. us that sill

have done the work; not the bankers.
They tell ug silver will not go. We an

tell us gold will be dear. If too dear we
will get along without it. Gold won't
go, because it's owners will not part with
it. Then let it stay. We shall get
along without it,, But England will not
trade with us sexcspt in gold Then let
England keep her goods; we can get
along without them. But Europe will not
trade with us except in gold. Then let
Europe trade elsewhere; we can get along
without her. We got along very well
before resumption, when we had q cur
rency good enough only in this country
So well did we get along that we were in
a few years after the war enabled to re-
sumo specie payment. What we did with
a green back currency we can do with a
silver currency. The people, OF the
United States will cry out to the world
"Ca Ira The atmosphere is clearing.

The suggestion made by our A. @. H.
correspondent in this city, to be found In
the A. o. H. column, that he would like
to see the Irish Standard brtstle with
communications from every division IN
the country" meets with the hearty ap-
prevail of the publishers of this paper
Some time ago in an editorial in these
columns it was urged upon the various
divisions of the state and individual mem
bers of the A. o. H. that they send in all
the information possible relating to the
order, which information would find a
place in these columns. The suggestion,
or proposal was acted upon to some ex-
tent, but not to the extent, it is almost
certain, that could be done were the mat
ter given more attention. Every divis-
ion, or some member of every division,
could undoubtedly send in something
each week or each month. This would
be cementing the bond of fraternity-one
of the principal objects of the order.

fact, he not only kicked us down stairs,
but h'isted us halfway back as We'll;

A FOOLISH MISSION.

Samuel Plimsoll has come to this
country from England to find out what is
the matter with our people in their at
titude towards the mother country" He
says.
IT have come to this country to see If
cannot find the cause Of the unjust dis
like the Americas have for the mother
country. We in England have no such
feeling toward America. We have only
sympathy and admiration for her. 1t
seems strange to me that you should
allow the ill feeling caused by the war 120
years ago still to exist"
Mr.. Plimsoll is altogether too child
like and bland. It cannot be that he is
ignorant, but he has a memory that does
not seem to adjust itself to the facts. He
should keep in mind that as long as this
country is independent of the mother
country" and acts accordingly our cous-
ms across the sea show their sympathy
and admiration, but whenever this coln-
try gets into trouble England does It's ut
most to increase that trouble. It was
So in Revolutionary times, it was SO in
1872, 1t was so during the rebellion and
it would be So tomorrow should Uncle
Sam lock horns with any other nation or
be perplexed by domestic affairs. Eng
land as nation is ever on the alert to
catch the United States unawares when
she would prove herself the most relent-
less foe. She cannot harbor the idea with
complacancy that a nation Of English
speaking people shall arise that will
prove itself greater than her own. 1t is
true that she already has territory upon
which the sun never sets, but that is
rot enough. No country must be per-
1nitted to divide the honors Of national
supremacy with her. Caesar or moth
ing" is her motto. She would crush the
United States in day If it were within
her power and it is strange that MIR.
Plimsoll should not known this, and If he
knows it how can he be surprised ut the
dislike the average American has for
England as nation? He cannot have
been close student Ut history else he
would without the trouble Of trans-At-
lantic trip have found out the reason
for existing conditions.
Mr. Plimsoll is on very foolish and
nspless mission
