PERHAPS the most destructive lorna
do in the history of the United States
was the one which passed through St.
Louis last Wednesday evening. The
number of deaths was at first reported
to be 1000 but the number was exagger-
ated and ii is hardly probable that the
death list will Overreach 500. The in
jured number more than those killed
and the loss of property is very great.
This is the first catastrophe of this
kind that has ever struck st. Louis and
it will go down in history as the most
terrific storm in the history of the ma
ton from the time of It's origin up to
the present time.

SENATOR BAKER, the man

yer republican is now unques-
tionably in the goldbug camp.
He recently voted against
Senator Buffers (Pop) bond
investigating resolution and
makes no secret of the fact
that he is feminist bimetall-
ism. We allremember how the
Eagle and State Journal re-
joiced when Baker was elect
ed, but the Capital and other
gold-bug papers predicted
that it would not be long un.
til Senator Baker would be
for sound money" The Cap
itaPs prediction came to pass
and the Eagle and Journal
got crow. It was unfortunate
that the legislature of Kansas
did not send another PETER

THE "FIrTY-cENT" DOLLAR.

In this progressive age people some
times progress SO rapidly that they
ascend intothe Sind degree of damphul-
ishness. This is the situation with the
Statesman" who is continually pratt
ing about free silver coinage and a
fifty cent dollar" To those who are
wont to become infatuated by such
sophlstry, we invite attention to the
pages of history. Our older readers do
not need to depend upon history for
information but can recall their own
actual experience. This country has
practically coined silver free and in
unlimited quantities at the ratio OF ISL
and is to l ever since the Declaration
of Independence was established up to
1873, when the congress was absorbed
by British capital. Prior to the crime
or '73 such thing as fifty-cent dol
lar was unheard Of. Our legislatures
which were equally as intelligent as
they now are, did not consume time
and money in trying to convince the
people that the silver dollar was worth
only SO cents, they could not have done
it even though they had attempted it.;
conditions were against such a propo-
sitlon. But at this time it is different,
silver has been demonetized and in
stead of a bimetallic standard, we have
suffered ourselves as nation to be
burdened with EDgland's single gold
standard system. Silver is now degrad-
ed and the theorists have an opening to
prognosticatlon. They say if silver
were remOnetized dollar in silver
would be worth only so cents because,
they say, the bullion IN a silver dollar
Is worth only half as much as the gold
in gold dollar. True, but let the
government relDstate silver to it's prop.
er place at the mint and 1t will imme-
diately spring to the old market price
which will put it at par with gold If
not little in advance. All, but, they say,
you are giving thedebtor chance to pay
out with so cent dollars and thus per.
NIT him to repudiate one half of the
debt. Oh, we are not. We are Civ
ing him an opportunity to pay his debt
with one dollar wheat, 40 cent corn
and two and and 4dollar, or what
ever the case may be, labor. You caus-
ed that farmer to mortgage his farm
when silver was with us and he knew
he could dispose of his produce for re-
munerative prices, but you afterwards
destroyed silver and deprecated the
value of his products one-half and thus
compelled him to pay twice as much
wheat, twice as much corn, twice as
much cotton, twice as many cattle and
hogs as he formerly would have been
compelled to have paid had silver re-
manned on an equal footing with gold.
Here is where the dishonesty appears.
The man who is in debt now must pay
out with 200 cent dollar, and instead
OF free silver creating SO, cent dollar,
it will simply reduce the 200 cent dol
lar and thus restore the price of pro-
duce and labor. This is all the debtor
class asks and 1t is just demand.
Lay the 80 cent" scarecrow on the
shelf.

SENATOR ALIENS recent outburst

SENATOR ALIENS recent outburst
in the senate was bad break, if his
reported speech be correct. He is quot
ed as agreeing to vote to retire the
greenbacks provided metal money is
substituted in its place. We have al.
ways been proud of the Populist sen.
ator from Nebraska and his record has
been good one. But if he is going
to fall in with the old parties and en-.
dorse their methods he can't pull the
Peoples party with him. We hope the
report is incorrect and that Senator
Allen is still true to the party which
has honored him.

KANSAS is redeemed, "McKinleyism
is In the saddle, confidence is restored!
and yet farmers throughout the whole
state of Kansas are holding bushels up
on bushels of corn because they can't
realize enough out Of it to pay the ex-
pense of raising It. One farmer told
US on Saturday that it will require 100
bushels of his corn to buy one cultivat-
or, and in order to make that amount
buy the cultivator he will have to shell
and market the corn himself. If this
be redemption, it is blessed to be un-
redeemed.

it is to degrade one class of

PRIOR to its demonstration
the silver in a silver dollar
was worth three cents more
than the gold in a gold dol
lar according to the bullion
price of each metal. The
reason the price of silver is
so low at the present time,
is that the government has
entered into a conspiracywith
the gold spectators and the
combined force has degraded
the white metal. Remonetize
silver and its value will be
restored.
