Gold Democrats In Texas

The dispatches state that five hun
ared representative gold standard

and resolved to re-organize the Demo-
cratic party Of Texas on a gold stand

How extremely conscientious and
honest some people are!
Here are five hundred men whose
rigid devotion to the principles OF
honor and justice impels them to take
their stand bravely in favor of the pay
ment Of many debts at the rate of two
dollars for one, some debts at the rate
Of four dollars for one. and all debts al
rates away above those at which they
were contracted. Not only are they

lated throughout the country a PAM
phlet entitled "Plain Talk About Free
Silver" which has been issued for free
distribution by the gold bug lie-mill

copies have been printed and sent out.
Rothschild has paid the printers bill.
Local variations are used in the differ
ent editions distributed in the various
states. copy of it has reached this
office. 1t is without the imprint of any
publisher or printing house, and the
miserable prostitute who wrote 1t was
ashamed to place even a nom-dc-plume
on it. The copy in our hands was sent
from Concordia, Kans., and has stamp
ed on its title-page and cover the name
OF "Renard Bros. Groceries and
Queensware. Concordia, Kansas" II
is appropriate that Renard Bros.
should sell queensware. probably they
are subjects of Queen Victoria. The
pamphlet is marked Price, 2 cents"
but Renard Bros. give it away to every
farmer who trades bushel OF corn for

local merchants, free Of charge. IL pos

Attempted Bribery.

The highest bid which the Republi-
can goldites of the east have made 10
obtain the votes of the Pacific coast
for gold monopoly is the offer TO give
them the candidate for vicc-president.
Senator Perkins name is mentioned
as the man who would draw the largest
number Of votes to the goldItes. and /.
is proposed to offer him the nomination
in exchange for a solid west for the
Rothschild combination. There is no
doubt that the west fully appreciates
the kindly heart and generous senti-
ments of Senator Perkins; they realize
that he would like to be for silver II he
could, but they do not see how they are
to be benefited by making him vice
president. He would have no vote in
the senate and no influence with the
administration, because the vice-presi-
dent never has had or never expects to
have any influence with the president;
he is always waiting for the president
to die so as to get his place, and that
makes the president mad. just as the
king is always jealous of the heir-ap-
parent 1t is a notorious fact that the
vice-president has less influence than
anybody else around the capitol. The
head doorkeeper of the censte has so
much more power as to naturally ex-
cite the envy Of every yice-president
who has presided over the senate. No
matter how much the west may love
Senator Perkins, the suggestion of his
nomination comes from the enemies OF
the people. and We do not believe that
Mr.. Perkins himself would like to be
vice-president at the price offered
Exchange.

The dispatches do not inform US
whether honest money Democrats actu-
ally owe anything themselves, or
whether the honest" dollars which
they so love are owing to them. A
mans opinion as to what constitutes
honest money is sometimes quite seri-
ously affected by the position which he
occupies in life, and whether he owes
somebody or somebody owes him. The
di ference, of course, is only trifle-
when stated on paper. Still it does
have an influence occasionally, and 1t
is entirely safe to say that If the bank
ers, money-lenders, and cukoo Office
holders be excluded from the enum-
Grafton, the remainder Of the five hun
dred representative" Democrats would
make a rather thin assemblage, both iT
numbers and intellectual strength.
However, this movement of the
sound" money Democrats will help
the silver cause, and those engaged in
1t are entitled to our kindly encour-
agement. Nothing can tend more
strongly to a crystallization OF the sill
yer sentiment than the extreme atti-
tude of those men who are determined
that the producer and debtor shall con-
tinue to be robbed for the benefit OF the
non-producer and the creditor, and
that America shall be bled to death
for the enrichment of the money-lend-
ing fiasses of EurOpe-National BIZ
