WE CAN GO 1T ALONE.
England Must Follow Suit for Self Pro-

lection.
From a speech by George Fred Will
liams in Lowell: Now, then, here is
the only question, the simple question
but it seems to me important Is it
possible for the United States, by its
legislation, to realize what every one
admits to be national and an inter
national necessity, the restoration OF
silver in the coinage systems of the
world? And that is a pretty narrow
question on which to base such Ian
guage as is used by the Boston Tran
script. 1t is, l say, fair subject for
difference of opinion. l do not deny
that, but it is the only issue that there
is before the people today.
International agreement is the an
swer we have from our republican op-
ponents-namely, that the great nations
of Europe shall join us and legislate
at the same time in the same direction
Well, to show you that it is not sc
preposterous an idea that this govern
ment should undertake it alone let me
quote to you the words of Lord Lid
derdale, who was a former governor OF
the Bank of England, one of the best
posted men in financial matters known
in the world, as to the results Of such
legislation in this country
At a banquet held at the Mansion
House in London he spoke as follows
eff the American people had the cour-
age of conviction and adopted the dou-
BILE standard of gold and silver, NO
matter what the ratio, they would in
side of year command the trade of the
east-India, the Straits, China and ia
pan. Unless England should follow
suit and adopt bimetallic standard,
she would inside of Is months cease to
be commercial factor in the markets
of the world
That bears out what our distin-
guished friend has already so ably
pointed out to you, that this question
not only involves our internal indus
tries, but opens UP the markets of the
world to you toilers here in the city
of Lowell, in competition with the
whole world, under a righteous none
tary system.
Now, listen to the words of the mon
etary commission of 1886. The greatest
authority on exchanges known to the
world, perhaps, NJ Hulk Gibbs, now
Lord Alderman, said that America
could, with open minis, maintain the
parity between the metals without help
from any other nation The great
father Of bimetallisTm, the man who has
done more in this cause than any other
man in the world, Genowski, said only
a short time ago that eff America
understood her interests, she would at
once adopt the free coinage of silver"
Only about four weeks ago the leader
Of the bimetallic cause in France, NJ
Meline, at banquet in Paris declared
that bimetallism of itself depended
upon the conversion of England, and
he added, I think at the same dinner
that the general consensus of opinion
among all the scientific students of this
subject in Europe was so marked that
it was evident that for the success OF
the movement nothing was now neces-
sary but an electric spark, and Mr.
Morton Frewen, another distinguished
authority and a bimetallist, said, 'rIt
is possible that that spark may be
kindled at Chicago by the adoption Of
free silver platform"

IT is we'll to observe that it is not
the money in existence that fixes
prices, but the money in actual circu-
lation. When money is increasing in
volume prices are constantly rising, as
during the war; but when money is
decreasing in volume, as since 1868,
prices are continually falling. When
prices are going up enterprise is slim
uIated to it's maximum and labor and
labor's products command good prices
When prices are stable, as they would
be with a uniform volume of currerey
with flexible system to supply che
demand, there would be no such thing
as panics and hard times

1S49, marvellous to relate, was not 81,
but was made to be of the value of 81.
The subsidiary coins were all fractions
of the dollar and the silver dollar was
of silver only.
mot single dictionary or encyclo-
pedia in the English language before
the year 1878 ever defined dollar in any
terms other than of silver. In that
year the administrators of the estate of
Noah Webster, deceased, cut the plates
Of our standard lexicon and inserted
new definition that had become neces-
sary in order to throw a penumbra of
nationality around the international
gold conspiracy.
'The way to obviate the further dis
astrous effects of this international
gold conspiracy is to stop it. We want
the system of bimetallism, restored in
this country. Bimetallism means the
option of the debtor to pay in either of
two statutory coins, according to his
own convenience and according to the
contract. This option freely granted,
the commercial parity Of the two
money metals will be speedily reached,
nor can such parity ever be seriously
disturbed again as long as the unim
peded option of the debtor to pay in
one metal Or the other shall be conced-
ed by law and the terms of the con-
tract. The present commercial dispari-
ty of the two metals has been produced
by the pernicious legislation which be-
gan twenty-three years ago and which
has not yet satisfied itself with the
monstrous results that have famed
therefrom.
What do We propose to accomplish
by free coinage? We propose to do just
this thing, viz: To break the corner
on gold and reduce the exaggerated
purchasing power of that metal to its
normal standard. Be assured there will
be no further talk of a 50-cen dollar
when the commercial parity of the two
money metals shall be reached. Every
well-informed person must know that
the present disparity of the two I'M
coined metals is but the index of the
extent to which gold has been bulled
in the markets of the world. 1t is not
an index to the extent to which raw sill
yer has declined in its purchasing
power in the markets of the world, for
raw silver has not declined in it's pur-
chasing power as compared with the
average of other commodities in any
civilized market place of the whole
globe. No man shall say the contrary
and speak the truth This great ques-
ton is hot upon us. 1t can be kept back
no longer. 1t is a tremendous econo-
mic question that ought to be decided
in the court of right, reason and of
fact. My judgment is that the Ameri-
can people, in spite of all opposition,
are going to reclaim the right of trans
acting their business, and in particular
of paying their debts according to a
standard unit worth 100 cents to the
dollar, neither more nor less, and that
they will not accept the intolerable pro-
gram which declares in fact, if not in
words, that they shall henceforth
transact their business and in particu-
lar discharge their debts with a corn
cred gold dollar worth almost two for
one"

How the Prince Was Robbed

Ajaccio, Corsica, Dec. 2.-The report:
first made public in Vienna that Lieu
tenant Prince Ernst Won Windisch-
Graetz, belonging to the younger branch
of that family, had been robbed by Corsi-
can brigands is correct. Three armed
men entered the hotel at Vizzavona,
where he was stopping with DR.. Meade,
and asked to see the prince. The spokes-
man of the party then entered the
princes room and demanded money,
whereupon the traveller called to DR..
Meade and told him to give the brigands
1000 francs. This was done and the men
left the hotel. The Austrian consul and
the local authorities are trying to bring
about the capture Of the brigands.

WASHINGTON'S WATCH.
According to the Ramapo Hills Legend,
the Timepiece Still Ticks.

According to the Ramapo Hills Legend,
the Timepiece Still Ticks.
New York state is rich in fairy lore.
Washington Irving was fond of the little
people, and he found that they disported
among the mountains and in the forests
everywhere in the grand old Empire State.
Within So miles of New York city, among
the Ramapo hills, there are scores of places
where, according to tradition, elves, sprites,
fairies, brownies and all the assemblage Of
quaint beings whose common language Is
poetry and whose home Is in the wood
lands, can be found, If looked for In the
proper spirit
Aside from the fairies, there are inter-
esting traditions connected with men and
women of historical renown. At Ramapo,
close to the boundary line Of New Jersey,
on mighty pinnacle of the Torne noun
tain, there Is place called "Washington's
Watch Pocket" 1t is q crevice In the rock
that looks as II some giant had seized the
rock and torn 1t apart as one might sepa-
rate a slice Of bread. IL you put your ear
close to this crevice and listen !ntently,
you can hear, far below, the sound Of q
watch ticking
The story Is that George Washington
stood at that spot one day alone looking
through q telescope to see whether the
British were approaching His staff was
some distance away, for to climb to that
ledge of the mountain required-and still
requires-considerabl labor. Washington
was tall, powerful man, as all the world
knows, and he thought nothing Of the
climb But the officers of his staff were
little more jealous of their exertion and
they were willing enough to obey their
chief when he told them that they need
not go with him.
AS Washington stood, statuelike, peering
through the telescope, he thought he could
discern line of rel among the trees a
great many miles up the Ramapo pass.
"The redcoats-the British!" he may
have mrirmured as he closed his telescope.
It was now that the incident occurred that
gave the name Of "Washington's Watch
Pocket" To this opening In the rock. In
numbered with the telescope-which was
not one of the oonveniens feldglasses that
are In use today, with strap around 1t to
prevent Its Washington dragged
his watch from bis fob to calculate what
time It would probably be when the enemy
reached that spot. The watch slipped out
of his hand, seals and all, and fell into the
crevice far out Of sight
It Is strange tnat tne Watcn snouiu con-
tinue to go without being wound. But IL
is averred that IL Is certainly ticking 60

patriotic imps of the mountain wind 1t,
because it belonged to the Father Of His
Country, and that they will do 30 to the

is that there IL tho Torne mountain and
