Kansas Popu lists have been fighting
on the same issue for six years. but it
is only within the last few months
that Republicans have made any pre-
tense to meet that issue. During all
that time they have tried, and have
succeeded to a great extent. to keep
the minds of the people diverted from
the real issue, finance.
The loud and unceasing proclama
ton of the single gold standard advo-

Why is it that people will keep vari-
Gus poisonous drugs about the house In
close proximity to harmless medicines?
Why is it, furthermore, that persons
knowing such facts get up at night and
drink something out Of an unident1-
fed bottle? Is it so much trouble to
light the gas and be sure what one is
doing? Day by day the newspapers
recount deaths resulting from such
carelessness and it is hard to feel much
sympathy with people SO reckless of
common sense.

Literature of the War.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: If the
humorous literature of the war were col
lected, much more than 80 per cent. of 1t
would be found to be Northern. During
much of the time Southern editors wrote
under depressing conditions. But in st.
Louis, during May, 1861, Confederate en-
blems were abundantly exposed for sale, and
Confederates were far from regarding their
own prospects as gloomy. Then and there
/ noticed The preponderance of Northern
hilarty. The subdued tone OF the Southern
press was traditional, and it was an essential
part of the defense of chattel slavery. In
the campaign of 1856, most of the puns, and
two candidates who headed electoral tickets
in the Gulf States As for the Southern
speeches in Congress that preceded the en-
actment of the fugitive slave law, each was
good performance in its way; but the
total effort was stupid, because they were
alike, and the man who peruses one in the
Congressional Globe has little to gain by
perusng any or all of the rest The speech
of Daniel Webster on the 9TH of March was
brilliant, and il was regarded as Southern
In tone, but it was not conformable to the
discipline which had been established among
the Southern cohorts. When the name of
Webster was presented at the Philadelphia
Convention of 1852, no delegate from slave
holding State gave him a vote on any bal
lott. Il. MoULToN, Co. /, SD Ill.,, Aurora,

WORKINGM AND SILVER.
The Effect Upon Labnrng Man of q
Change In the Monetary standard.


The workingman OF his country is to-day re-
ceiving on the gold basis, the highest average
wages ever paid for abcr in the history of the
world. AT the same tinie, prices Of cOmm0di-
ties food. clothing. fuel. and other necessities
and forts of life, were never lower in price
than they are now. The silver ad vocates claim
that these prices have been reduced through
the appreciation in the value of gold and it's
exclusive as the monetary standard of
value Their claim is demOnstraby false, but
in max ing it they admit the existence of IN.
precedentedy low prices They are also forced
to admit the existence of nnprecedentedly high
wages paid III gold or its equi vaent. 1t comes
about, therefore that the workingman can buy
more for his money than he ever could before
in the world. What inducemcnt can be offered
to him to make him desire to change from gold
to silver? The silver advocates wish TO change
to silver in order to force up the prices of COM
m0dities; they can give the wOrkingman
assurance that his wages will be raised. If he
were to receive wages that would have only
half the purchasing power that those which he
receives now have, and it at the same time the
prices Of what he buys were to be doubled,
what would be his condition?
He would be in the situation thus outlined
we're this country To pass TO "a silver basis. That
transition might be made in night. Prices
of commodities would .be1donbled instantly, for
they would still be reck0ma1 in gold, and would
be fixed in the ma etsO of the world. Indeed,
the chief reason why the advocates of silver de-
sire to have IL for our standard is that it wi
effect this doubling of prices. They do not
pr:r Use a doubling of wages. The farmers who
are told that if we have silver standard they
will get twice as much per bushel for their
wheat and corn and oats as they get now, are
not itold that they would also have to pay
double wages for labor. If they were com.
PEELED to do this, in addition to paying double
prices for whatever they had 10 buy, in what
respect would they be benefited by silver2
