Mossman,
Itwould seem from the follow
ing sentiments expressed recently
by United States Senator William
Il. Chandler, of Vermont, who is
regarded as good authority from a
Republican standpoint on all pub
lie questions, that the cause ofsil-
yer is not by any means as dead as
some have tried to make it appear
it was.
Here is what the Senator says:
"But we said in our st. Louis
platform that we favored bimetal-
lism and pledged ourselves to pro-
mote it, and Mr.. Mckinley in his
letter of acceptance repeated
the pledge. That the United
States is opposed to single gold
standard, and is in favor of retrac-
ing in due course and with careful
regard to national honor the steps
taken in INSTRUMENTATION of silver
until both gold and silver shall
be admitted to free coinage
at the ratio of 153 to /, and
made tho standard money of
the world, and the measure
of the values of the worlds a
proposition which would receive
the suffrages of four-fifths of our
voters, if this proposition alone
could be fairly presented to them,
even without further debate"
The following sensible advice is
given it's readers by the Denver
Republican, ono of the leading
newspapers of the West, and which
not only labored earnestly for the
election of Mr.. Bryan but is still a
Jealous free silver advocate. The
paper says:
"The outlook for the future is
distinctly one not of despair, but
of hope, and the thing for every
man to do is to help the return of
better times. There should be no
pulling back, no reluctance to ac-
cept the situation as it is for the
time being and make the utmost
out of it that we possibly can. The
country is not dead We have had
no famine, and no log, wasting and
disastrous war. No pestilence has
swept the country leaving in its
path desolute homes and sorrowing
families. The land is rich with the
bounty of kind providence and
tile forces of nature operate as OF
old to strengthen the nation and
make it the most fortunate in the
world"
The advance agent of prosperity
has reached the Indiana coal mines,
and notices of eviction have been
issued against a thousand miners
employed by coal companies in the
vicinity OF Terre Haute. Tho
operators want the tenements for
men who will work for less than
the established rate for mining.
We would wager something these
coal companies preached better
wages and steady employment
should Mckinley be elected.
