Question Alone

National Honor Requires Us to Act the
Question Alone
How long must we wait for bimetallism
to be brought to us by those who profit
by monometallism? If the double-stan.
dard will bring.beneflts to our people, who
will deny them the right to enjoy those
benefits? If our opponents would admit
the right, the ability and the duty of our
people to act for themselves on all public
questions without the assistance and re-
CARELESS of the wishes of other nations,
and then propose the remedial legislation
which they consider sufficient, we could
meet them in the field of honorable de-
bate; but when they assert that this ma
ton is helpless TO protect the rights of it's
own citizens we challenge them to submit
theirs TO a people whose patriotism has
never been appealed to in vain.
We shall not offend other nations when
we declare the right or the American PEG
pie to govern themselves, and without let
or hindrance from without decide upon
every question presented for their consd-
Grafton. In taking this position we sim
ply maintain the dignity of 100000 900 citi-
zens who are second to none in their
capacity for self government The gold
standard has compelled the American PEG.
pie to pay an everincrcasing tribute to
the creditor nations of the world-a trib
ute which no one dares to defend.
/ assert that national honor requires the
United States TO secure justice for all its
citizens, as well as do justice to all its
creditors. For a people like ours, bicSt
with natural resources of surprising rich
ness, to proclaim themselves impotent to
frame financial system suited to their
own needs is humiliating beyond the
power of language to describe. We can
not enforce respect for our foreign policy
so long as we confess ourselves unable to
frame our own financial policy.
Honest differences Of opinion have nj
ways existed and ever will exist, as to the
legislation best calculated To promote the
public veal; but when 1t is seriously as
serted that this nation must bow To the
dictation of other nations and accept the
policies which they insist upon, the right
OF government is assaulted, and until
that question is settled all other gu stions
are insignificant.

CONTRACTS PAYABLE IN GOLD.
Some Comments on the Platform Plank on
That subject.

We are told that the restoration Of BIZ
metallism would be hardship upon those
who have entered into contracts payable
In gold coin, but this Is mistake. 1t
will be easier to obtain the gold with
which to meet n gold contract, when most
of the people can use silver, than It is
now when every one is trying to secure
gold. The Chicago platform expressly de-
clares in. favor of such legislation as may
be necessary to prevent, for the future. the
demonetization Of any kind of legal tender
money by private contract.
Such contracts are objected to on the
ground that they are against public
policy. No one questions the right Of
legislatures To hx the rate OF interest
which can be collected 10y law, there Is far
more reason for preventing private indi-
viduals from setting aside legal tender
law. The money which Is by law made
legal tender must, In the course of ordi-
nary business, be accepted by ~ out Of

hundredth man be permitted TO exempt
himself from the general rulcS
Special contracts have n tendency To In

Dryer Again Defeats
Lyod at Hancock
Saturday.
houghtOns Defeat Baragas.
." '"e "aii Game ON Saturday, hut
Were Defeated I'm the Game ON
Sunday.

The wrestling match Saturday evening
at st. Patrick's Hall between NJ. j. DIVER
and Dave Lloyd was won by the former
in straight heats. The first bout was
catch-as catch can. From the first DIVER
was on the offensive and his superiority
in strength became apparent after the
first lew minutes. As in the first match.
week ago, Dryers play was for the
legs. AT the end OF thirty-four minutes
ne succeeded IN getting the scissors lock,
favorite lock with catch-as-c ca tch-can
wrestlers, and it was all up with Lloyd,
Tor the lock gives absolutely no chance
for defense.
Alter a twenty minute rest the second
bout at greco-roman style was com
menced. At this 81 yle it was thought by
many that Lloyd would have the adyant-
age, but from the word Dryer forced
matters and it was clearly seen that he
was as much at home in this style as in
catch-as-catch-can. The exertion OF the
first bout told on Lloyd, and it was only
eight minutes when Dwyer secured a
double hammer and half Nelson lock and
pinned his man to the pad.
The match was for 800 a side and the
gate receipts, Dwyer weighed 157
pounds and Lloyd 1856. The referee was
James Smith, OF Lake Linden, the same
who refereed the final bout in the first
match. The spectators numbered about
$50.
Lloyd showed himself good loser by a
short speech as soon as he recovered his
breath. He acknowledged Dryer to be
the better man and had no excuses to
offer. Dryer made few remarks anent
the talk there has been of the match being
a fake. He said he had wrestled all the
leading men in his class, the middle
weight, and had been beaten by but one,
Tom Mcmahon. at Grand Rapids last
winter. Mcmahon got the double ham,
mer lock and in holding Dwyer to the
pad the latter's ear was broken, losing
him the match, as he was unable to go
on. He said he had gone to Calumet on
July to take in the Cornish wrestling
match there. style of which he knew
nothing, and from that came the making
of the two matches with Lloyd, who had
been brought here to take up the chal-
lenge made that day.
No one who saw the match Saturday
night will say that the affair was fake.

The Houghton ball club won a game
from the red-suited Baragas Saturday at
the Mining School park, but it was a
mighty yellow game on both sides and the
score was 20to 10. Healey pitched most
OF the game, but Witte pitched the last
two innings. Houghton made 10 runs
IN the first inning, after retiring the other
side with dash of snappy play. 1t
looked like a cinch, but Baraga crept
slowly up and several times were ahead.
John Condor, catcher OF the University
of Michigan team, played third for the
Houghtons and he showed specimen Of
the form that is neces sary to win place
on that team. Frank Condor played
first. Haas played good game behind
the bat and his throwing to the bases
was feature OF the game. The score by
innings was as follows;

Baraga ...........0 2 2 o / O-19
Ioughton.... ,.....10 0 o q 10
The Baragas turned the tables Sunday
and pulled out the game, in the ninth in
ming, after it had been won by good,
sharp play and timely batting on the
part OF the Houghtons. 1t was great
disappointment to the rooters, Driscoll
had pitched rafting good game, the
fielding had been almost errorless, espe-
cially on the part OF the outfield, and the
game stood IL to Z in favor OF the home
team. The heavy end OF the batting
order of the Baragas came up. II would
have made no difference which end came
after that fusilade OF singles and two
baegers began. The pyrotechnical dis
play continued until FIVE red-suited fell
10 VS. had crossed the plate.
The game was interesting. In two in
nings the Baragas were not able to get a
man to first. In four they were retired
without run. Driscoll struck out man
after man and at critical points, too.
He might have been relieved in the eighth
with the game SO well in hand, especially
as Renwick was in from Calumet ready
to play. But the management kept Dris-
coll in, and he is not the man to ask to be
relieved.
