from separation of lead and silver ore

other commodity under similar condi-

law would give us bimetalism But in

England fixes the market price of our

tried to make the Commercial believe
that this country is dependent upon

the earth would scarcely perform its
revolutions if what are now English

Law. Abiding Citizens Must Stand Together


1t has come to pass that the more reck-
less and powerful of the two gubernatorial
champions of the mob has influenced a
council of the national Democracy to de-
clare in effect that anarchy may prevail
in any state by the consent of the COVER
nor thereof. and that the general govern
ment has no right to interfere. 1t is
hoped by such deliverance to unite in
support of degraded currency all the
lawless elements of the country as well
as all the cranks and all the politicians
out of a job. In their present state of
mind the men who are in control at
Chicago seem to have overlooked the fact
that IL declaration which would deliver
up peaceable people in all the states to
the tender mercies of demagogue COVER
nors and murderous mobs will tend to
marshal in opposition the law-abiding
citizens of the country without regard to
party affiliations. Woe to them and their
cause if decent God-fearing and law
loving men shall be constrained to ac-
cept Republican rule as the only guaranty
of public order. They will pay dearly
for giving anarchy leave to exploit it

Such a plain and authoritative an

Opposed to Public Morality.

The platform is Objectionable not for
the silver plank alone. Almost every fea-
ture of it is equally Objectionable on
grounds both of common sense and public
morality. The clause in reference to the
issue of bonds in time of peace is both
absurd and immoral. The demand that
the power to issue notes be taken from
the national banks is VICIOUS in the last
degree. The tariff talk is sound enough.
