Tyso-, Senior, Cleaned OFF
Mud Slung by Tyson, Junior.
MR. BELLS VACANT HOUSE
Pension Office Clerk Went Away and
MiscfffevOus Lads Bombarded 1t
With Mud BaIis-Tyson Lad Was
the RingIeader and His Parent Was
Obliged to scrape Off the Clay.

Mr.. William H. Bell, OF the Pension
Office, residing on T street northwest.
between Ninth and Tenth streets, has set
an example in the summary punishment OF
mud-throwing boys which it might become
necessary for others to heed.
Five or six weeks ago Mr. Bell and his
family departed for summer outing down
the river. 1t never occurred TO him that
there might be some bad boys in the
neighborbood waiting for an opportunity
TO throw mud on his house. and couse-
quently no precautions were taken to
guard his castle during his absence.
But .'alas, for the rarity Of Christian
charity" Scarcely had the family taken
its departure, when lumber of boys
among them the sons OF Messrs. Eagan and
Thyson aud Rev. Mr.. Verbrecht, living on
T street-stoie forth in the shadow Of the
evening, armed with fresh mud balls.
With q sudden onslaught Mr.. Bells domi-
ciIe was attacked, and for more than five
minutes the walls and windows Were boni-
barded with rapid yolleys OF clay missiles.
THE BOYS GLAD.
Unfortunately for the boys, their ex-
pressions of delight over their performance
became SO hilarious as TO attract the at
tention OF the stern parent of one Of the at
tacking party, and the result was speedy
flight, accompanied by the wild yells of
the urchin who was caught and hustled ill.,
doors by the ear. .st--7 81. -..-,
The rescue, however. had been too late.
The house OF Mr.. Bell was sight to be-
hold-inud, mud everywhere. And SO it
remained until Mr.. Bell ana his family re-
turned few days ago.
Some of the more kindly disposed neigh
bors had suggested that somebody should
turn the hose on the house and rem oye the
stains, but the only man who owned
hose within reach of the bespattered resi-
dence did not regard the. suggestion in a
favorable light.
Mr.. Bell was in no wise inclined TO be af-
fable when he beheId- his Hud-piastered
castle, and lie strai aightway sought OUT
young Tyson, the rinsicadcr OF The Toys,
whom he found residing, with his father
and several sisters q few doors away.

the procrastinations of Law, the obtainment

is the real situation in Rockford? The
number of bankers in that city is, alto.
gether, thirteen, and the total amount Of
capital which these thirteen bankers have
is 1915, 600. The total amount of de-
posits IN their banks is $1,000. 900. So
that these thirteen bankers. with total
paying capacity Of but $S75,0OO, are
Pies money with which to do business
in any manner they choose. Upon it's
face, it would seem that any number Of
men who have total paying capacity Of

debtors? They are undoubtedly the
bankers. These thirteen men. owe these
$500 depositors $3,4OO,OOO.
Now, if all that has been said about
the rapacity of the creditor class be true,
think of the situation in which these de-
posters have these poor bankers. If
an that has been said about the poverty,
the Wretchedness and the enslaved con-
dition of the debtor class be true, think
OF the miserable plight of these poor
bankers.
What is true in Rockford must be
true OF the whole country. The real
debtors of the country are bankers,
and the real creditors of the country
are the depositors, and it is to the credit
of the bankers of the United States,
as it is to the credit of the bankers of
Rockford, that although they could net

silver at but is to 1, none of the bank
ers OF the City of Rockford, and but
very few of the bankers in the United
States. who would have so much to
gain by the adoption of this free silver
lunacy, have advocated this policy,
which would enable them at one stroke
to clear SO much money.
This brief statement makes it plain
that all the utilization which has been
bestowed by Populist orators and news
papers upon the creditor class of the
United States has been emitted because
OF totally false Misrepresentation as to
sample of the profound ignorance under
lying the whole free silver agitation that
they have undertaken to describe az
vampires. blood suckers, Shylocks, ETC.,
the great producing classes of this coun-
try who are its real creditors and who
own all the money deposited in the
banks and upon which bankers do bust
ness and upon the borrowing of which
most of the manufacturing and produc-
ton of this country is carried on. So
that the Populists of this country who
have been claiming to be the friends of
the people, have been denouncing them
upon the supposition that the denuncia-
ton has been describing the bankers:
whereas. the real truth is, the bankers
are the debtors and the depositors are
the creditors.
According to that the Populists wont
accomplish free silver?

Chicago is new and degenerated edition
of the Democracy of 1861; in it reigns
the old Bourbon spirit which never learns
and never forgets. Who, therefore, de-
sires that the United States should fur
ther develop their national organism;
that the national government should be
further strengthened in the interest OF
all; that national honor be kept unde-
filed; that the national credit be kept in
tact, turns away from q Democracy

of destructive forces and joins that party
which was called in 1861 to save the
Union, and which in this year again
has the patriotic duty to purify the ma
tional organism from the poison of the
Populistic Democracy.

During nine of these fifteen years the
trend of the gold movement was in our
favor, and during only two of the remain

1891-was the outward movement large
enough to attract attention. In 1889
there were large importations under the
