TO VOTE AS A UNIT.
Good Government VIII Not Affiliate
With the a. p. A.

The Good Government Colored Club
held a meeting last night at the Harris
street hall to hear the report of the ex-
ecutive committee. The principal feat
ure of the report was embodied in the
suggestion that the club should vote as
a unit on all public questions.
r. Barnes presented a petition from the
American Protective Club asking TO be
allowed to unite with the Good Govern
ment Club This brought on d lengthy
and heated discussion, participated in
principally by W. D. Armstrong and A
l. Tucker, in which the opinion of the
membe asserted itself that the American
Protective club is an A. P. A. affair, and
on these grounds affiliation with the
Good Government Club was denied.

Farmers who think that free silver
will help them get rid of their mort
1ages should consider carefully what
affect 10 to law will have on the
lenders of capital. As soon as it becomes
likely that free coinage law will be
enacted there will undoubtedly be a
general demand that all mortgages shall
at once be paid in full Where, then.
when this demand comes upon the
farmer, will he get the money to meet
the demand and save his farm? Does
any farmer believe that the man who
has money to loan will let dollar of it
leave his hands while there is posi-
biliiy of his his being repaid in 90 cent
dollars? And if the farmer cannot raise
money to pay his mortgage, his home
and farm will DO sold at sacrifice and
taken from him. Where will he be
then?

when Our Prosperity Was Greateat.


It is mere pretense TO attribute the
hard times to the fact that all our cur
rency is ON gold basis. Good money
never made times hard. Those who as
sert that our present industrial and
financial depression is the result Of the
gold standard have not read American
history Alright or been careful students
of the events of recent years. We never
had greater prosperity in this country,
in every field Of employment and indus
try, than in the busy years from 1880 to
1892, during all of which time this
country was ON a gold basis and en-
ployed more gold money in its fiscal aud
business operations than ever before.
We had, too, protective tariff, under
which ample revenues were collected
for the government and an acoumulak
ing surpius, which was constantly apN
piled to the payment of the public debt
Let NJ hold fast to that which we
know is good. It is not more money we
want. What we want is TO put the mon
ey we already have at work. When
money is employed, men are employed.
Both have always been steadily and re-
muncratively engaged during all the
years Of protective tariff legislation -

The following letter from Petroleum
v. Nasty, written in 1878, is of pecul.
lar interest just now. 1t contains a
moral which the free and unlimited sill
yer coinage people will do well to heed
CONFEDERATE X ROADS
(Which is in the state of Kentucky,
jan. 22 1878.
/ amt so certin that I want the sill
yer bill to pass ez wuz The fact is,
the thing don't work ez 1 sposed il
wood, and amt clear on to it. There
is suttle principles in these finanshel
questions witch requires a good deel nv

ciples witch a man hez got to understand
afore he is competent to set hisself up
ez authority.
One thing l am certin nv. BascOm
amt no finanseer, nor never will be-,
and l told him So
"Wat is a finanseeri" asked he.
"a finanseer, sed l. assoomin the
look of Dan'l Webster, ''is a man witch
kin pay his debts with nothin, a man
witch kin git suthin with nothin.
'The Corners, then, is full of finan-
seers, he remarkt bitterly, castin a
casual glance at the slate WITCH was jist
full enuff to turn over and begin on the

"How much is twict nuthin?" was

As the American Flag Is Honored and
Respected by All Mankind.
At Republican mass meeting held
in Cooper Union, New York, Sept. 8,
United States Senator John NJ. Thur
ston. in an eloquent speech, said;
II can take the dollars Of my coun-
try, gold, silver or paper, and 60 into
the four corners of the habitable globe.
can transact business with all people,
civilized, semicivilized and barbaric,
without fear of discount, depreciation
or disoredit I want the dollars of the
United States to go around the world as
the flag goes, honored and respected by
all mankind. do not care to go across
the line into Canada, as the Mexican
comes across the line into the United
States with an apology for his so cent
dollar
''In every free silver coinage country
gold has been driven out, and the only
money in use in those countries is silver
Iaoney at its bullion value, and paper is
redeemable in silver. The poorest dollar
of any gold standard country can be eX-
changed for two of the best dollars Of
any free silver country. prefer to live
in a country which can do business ON
equal terms with the great nations of
the world.
''The free coinage of silver by other
countries has never yet lifted its pur-
chasing power above its bullion value.
The stamp of government has never yet
increased the value of the metal upon
which it has been placed. Gold remains
gold, and silver remains silver. Coin
will pass current among all peoples, not
ON account of the fiat Of any govern
ment, but on account Of the intrinsic
value Of the coin itself
"For 10 years after the SO called
crime of 1878 the wages of human la
Dor steadily advanced. For 10 years this
country went steadily onward until it
actually overlook and passed all other
nations in industrial progress In those
10 years the plain people Of the United
States built and paid for more homes
than had ever been owned or possessed
before that time by the laborers Of the
whole world.

nj can hardly -s'.looIve
rt1on IN winch tho house could be
brought more directly face to face with
what seems to present on the one hand
public honor and on the other the deep
est public disgrace,
at has happened in the huctuation
of these metals that there is now nota-
BILE opportunity to cheat 1000, 900 men
by adopting the baser metal as the
standard of payment and thus accom-
plish a swindle on so great a scale as to
make the achievement illustrinus. By
the proposed measure One-fifth of the
enormous aggregate public and private
debts eau be wiped out with sponge.
This nation owes $1,000, 600, 900, and
private citizens of the United States
probably owe 81, 500. 600, 900, possibly
more At the present moment the rela-
ton of the debtor and creditor in the
United States involves nearly 50, OOO,-
900, 900. 1t is proposed by the amend
ment of the gentleman from Indiana
that ut one fell stroke One-fifth of all
this enormous sum shall be wiped OIL
repudiated-and that tho process shall
be called honest legislation. Since /
have been in public life have never
known any proposition that contained
so many elements of vast rascality, Of
colossal swindling as this.
"Gentlemen may remember the finan-
cial shock Of 1897, the later shock of
1857 and the still later shock in 1878.
Conceive them all in one vast crash,
and the financial ruin, the overthrow of
business would be light in comparison
with the shock which would follow.
''Put in operation the provision now
suggested, and all our gold coin will
leave the country as fast as it can be
carried abroad Do this, and revolu-
ton in our monetary affairs utterly un-
paralleled in the history of our nation

Heayen's gates may well be made OF

and there arc Leyond those gates nothing
but rapturCs ard cantata and triuInPhal
procession and everlasting holiday and kiss
of reunion, and so the II gates arc IL
pearls, and could be nothing else than
pearls. But Christ hOisted the gates of
pardon in his own blood, and the marks Of
eight fingers ard two thumbs are on each
gate, and as he lifted the gate it leaned
against his forehead ard took from 1t a
crimson impress, and all those gates are
deeply dyed, and Isaiah was right when
he spoke of those gates as gates of carbun-
Gle.
What an Cdd thing it is, think some,
this idea of yicarious suffering, or suffering
for othersl Not at all. Tho world has
seen vicarious suffering millions Of times
