PoWderly q Powerful Failure.

L. V. Powderly, the erstwhile
Knight Of Labor leader, who speaks
for Mark Hanna's cause in Rock ISL
and tonight. has been having a time

We were told in 1878, just as we are
told now, that the country could never
be prosperous until q certain financial
theory was adopted. The Greenbackers
were just as certain that all the troubles
OF that period were due to the announced
intention of putting the country On a
special tasis, and that they would cen
tinue Indefinitely unless that intention
was abandoned, as the silver people now
are that all our ills flow from the de-
monetization of silver, and will continue
until it is remonetizei. Nevertheless
tho people perseyered ana resumed specie
payments in 1879 There soon followed
period Of uuexaTnplsd prosperity, in
which the green back agitation was en-
itrely forgotten, and the agitators went
into deserved obso urity.

YER cult, and George Fred Williams was
speaking for these classes when he said
this in signed editorial On Sunday.
'The Democratic party offers the REM
edy OF free coinage of silver. No man
can say exactly what the results of free

| Here is the plainest kind Of confess
sion that these classes can point to nc
experience that tends TO support their
| theories. These classes, however, are
merely floating on the surface of cur
rent set in motion by third class; and II
the third class should cease Its propulsion
of the tide, thoy would soon disappear and

third class consists of those who sec tho

and bullion owners, from the large boun.
| ty, which under the guIse of free coinage
they seek from the treasury Of the United
| States; in asking that the treasury shall
deliver to them coined dollars Of
twice the nominal value of the
bullion which they wish to deIiv
or to be coined. For this class
| freq coinage without the ratio of sixteer

ripened SO far as to have controlled
| temporarily one of tho great political
| parties of the nation, and it would not
have ripnned with it without the stipula-
zion for a ratio which would give them
| this enormous profit a5 the expense OF

Furthermore, while the theorists dc

In his communication to the PRESS
published on Monday S. w. Il, stated
only part of the truth with reference TO
the platform of the Chicago convention
ana Mr.. Sewall's definition of it. This
definition was in the following language:
They demand that our currency" (not
merely our silver ourrency) ''be carried
back to whore it was in the days of our
fathers-the money of our fathers as it
existed so years ago" Eighty years ago
the ratio waa 10 to 1, but the Chicago plat
form demands 16'to 1. The fathers adopt
cd the commercial ratio between gold
and silver; the Chicago convention de-
nands purely arbitrary ratio. To coin
q silver dollar OF the same weight Of that
Of the fathers, and at the same time fix
IL ratio which entirely disregards the
principal on which the fathers fixed the
ratio, is not carrying our currency back
to where it Was in the days of our fatt-
ers, for the ratio is substantial ele-
ment. as will be plain from m ANALYSIS
of the different interests which have been
promoting the campaign in behalf of
silver.
First, there is the element made up Of
those who think that in some way the
free coinage Of oliver win enlarge our
circulating medium and enhance prices
Second, there iS another class. of which
repudiators IN the proper sense of the
word, form no small element, who claim
that the act of 1873 has put up the value
of gold, and that silver still remains at
its normal value.
There are the theorists of the free sill
