An Inevitable Conflict.

The gold Democrats who talk about
free coinage being new Democratic
doctrine have not kept track of the
party record. Ever since 1877, when
the agitation in favor of the "dollar OF
our daddies" began, large majority
OF the Democratic members OF the
House and Senate have voted for free
coinage at every opportunity.
The Bland-Allison law was passed
over the veto OF President Hayes
mainly by Democratic votes. In 1890
every Democratic vote in Congress
was against the Sherman law, but it
was because a majority OF the Demo-
Gratis favored free coinage, and were
opposed to another compromise.
The slavery issue was kept in abey-
ance for many years by the Missouri
Compromise OF 1920, the Omnibus bill
of 1850, and the kansas-Nebraska bill
Of 1854, but the time came when COM
promises no longer availed.
So it has been with the silver quee-
ton. 1t has been twice compromised,
first by the Bland Allison act and
secondly by the Sherman law, but the
repeal of the latter has left the ques-
ton to be fought out squarely just as
the Dred Scott decision left the slavery
qvestion.
1t is fortunate for the country that
we are this year to have a square,
stand-up and knock-down fight be-
tween the advocates and opponents OF
free coinage. The business interests
OF the country require settled finan-
cial policy, and that is what this cam
psign will give us. Stability on either
the gold or silver basis is to be pre-
ferred to uncertainty as to what basis
we are on. The present situation is
not to be deplored. 1t presages the
early settlement OF the financial ques-
tion that has so long been a menace
to the prosperity of the nation. The
political sky is overhung with dark
clouds, but we suspect that they have
a silver lining.

A SLOT machine for the automatic
delivery of packages of medicine is a
Western innovation which may re-

some disease with which the adven-
turous customer may think he is af-
flicted. The machine, of course, can
only furnish the medicine, and each
patient must make diagnosis for
himself. The medicine may be all
right, if the diagnosis is properly
made, but the man who is his own

fled itself with the monstrous results
that have flowed 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 80 cent
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
uncoined 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 of the extent to
which raw silver has declined in its
purchasing power in the markets of
the world, for raw silver has not de-
clined in its purchasing power as COM
pared with the average of other COM
modities in any civilized market place
of the whole globe. No man shall say
the contrary and speak the truth.
This great question is hot upon us.
1t can be kept back not longer. 1t is
a tremendous economic question that
ought to be decided in the court OF
right, reason and OF fact. My judg-
ment is that the American people in
spite OF all opposition are going to re-
claim the right of transacting their
business, and in particular OF paying
their debts according to a standard
unit worth a hundred cents to the
dollar, neither more nor less, and that
they will not accept the intolerable
programme which declares in fact if
not in words that they shall hence
forth transact their business and in
particular discharge their debts with a
cornered gold dollar worth almost two
for one.

THE SONG OF THE SHIRT.

John Sherman, Senator from Ohio,
in speech delivered in the United
States Senate on the Goth day OF May,
1896, made use of the following re-
markable words:
l am willing to take that bill as it
came to us from the House, and if it is
not sufficient to supply the necessary
revenues, let us add a tax on tea, tax
on coffee, or Il tax on anything; for, as
| said on a former occasion, | would vote
for tax on anything; l would take the
last shirt off the backs of the peopleof
the United States rather than to violate
the public faith of the government. See
Cong. Record, p. $3.50, May Goth, 1896.
This is the man who favors the gold
standard, which doubles every dollar of
debt owed by the people of the United
States. This is the man who is to sue
ceed Carlisle as Secretary of the Treas
ury, if Mckinley is elected President.
The following lines have been dedi-
Gated by the New Road, of Denver,
Col, to John Sherman:
To have a shirt or not, that's the question:
'Tis whether it is better that the man
Who digs and deves to earn his daily bread
Shall keep the shirt that now does shield his
form,
Or be compelled to part with it, and thus
Insure my masters that the pound of flesh
That's written in the bond shall be in full
Delivered unto them. 'Tis true they cry
Aloud against the just demand and say
'ris not in nature that man should give
His all to satisfy a claim that may
Perhaps dives him of his only hope,
And send him shroudless to the Potter's field.
For many years I've served my master WELL
And skillfully have juggled with the laws,
And brought the common herd to such pass
That now, no matter how they fret and fume,
They cannot help themselves, and cen must
toll
And sweat. and live like dogs, that may see
The greater part of all they do create
BE sent away in ships to satisfy the greed
OF Shylocks. more inhuman many fold
Than e'er the Bard of Avon VOTED Of
At times feel my conscience prick bit.
But lis a momentary thing and not
To be allowed go swerve ME from my course.
'Tis heavens will that those of keenest wit
Should have the best the earth affords. and so
The hulkins horde should bend unto the task
And srumble not, but thank the powers that be
That we who rule do spare their wretched lives,
And give our kind permission unto them
To pay whatever tax we do impose.
Ny honord friend, good Vanderbilt, did say,
The people may be damned" and that they
will,
II my good masters DER in London do
l;ut nominate that thus this thing shall be,
Ny sense OF horror is SO great (if but
The welfare Of the money kings at stske)
That not only would be sure to take
The last poor shirt the working man might
have,
But would strip the very hide from off his
his back
And make me leather bags in which to send
Away the tribute that we've sworn to give
Unto our erstwhie enemies, but now
Our interested friends"

Plant Three Times as Much.

The Real Republic gets at matters
in way that farmers ought to be able
to understand. 1t says:
"Debts, taxes, interest and salaries
are paid in labor, or the products of
labor. That is, you sell your labor, or
products, for dollars, and with these
dollars pay your debts, taxes. interest
and official salaries. Twenty years
ago you could pay a hundred dollar
debt with one hundred bushels of
wheat, or one bale of cotton Now it
will take two hundred bushels OF
wheat or three bales of cotton to pay
the same amount of debt that it did
twenty years ago. This means that
you must plant twice as many acres
in wheat and three times as many
acres in cotton. This means also that
you must do twice or three times as
much work to pay any or all of your
debts, taxes, interest and official SAL
aries. 1t takes twice as much labor
and twice as much of labor's prod
ucts to pay debts, taxes, interest and
fixed salaries now as it did twenty
years ago. Is it possible that the poor
wage, bond and bank slaves will never
learn why they are compelled to work
so much harder, raise so much more
and get so much less and less each
year for it? Go it blind as usual when
you vote and you will never know"

Sherman I'm 1878.

TREASURY DEPT, July Is, 1878.
DEAR SIR: To that part OF your
letter OF the 18th inst, in which you
ask my views of the matter confded
in the monetary commission, l have
some delicacy in replying very fully.
During the monetary conference in
Paris, when silver in our country was
excluded from circulation by being
undervalued, l was strongly in favor
of the single standard of gold, and
wrote letter which you will find in
the proceedings Of that conference,
stating briefly my view. At that
time the wisest of US did not antici-
pate the sudden fall of silver or the
rise of gold that has occurred. This
uncertainty of the relation between
the two metals is one OF the chief argu-
ments in favor OF a monometallic sys.
tenn, but other arguments, showing
the dangerous effect upon industry by
dropping one of the precious metals
from the standard OF value, outweigh
in my mind all theoretical objections
to the bimetallic system. 1 am
thoroughly convinced that if it were
possible for the leading commercial
nations to fix by agreement an arbi-
trary relation between silver and gold
even though the market value might
vary somewhat from time to time, il
would be a measure Of the greatest
good to all nations. My earnest de-
sire is that you may succeed in doing
this.
You are so we'll informed upon this
this subject that it is not worth while
for me to enlarge upon it. The state
ments and documents sent you by the
director of the mint will give in au-
thentic form most of the material
facts which bear upon the question
and your own investigation on the
silver commission will, | am quite
sure, supply any deficiency.

HERE is what Rev. Dewitt Tall
mage says in regard to free coinage
and you will bear in mind that he is a
goldbug: "If the silver people win, l
believe there will be such y revival of
business such booming in industries
which are now inactive and such a
general shaking up of commercial
interests that the country will be sure
to prosper. During my entire trip /
did not find more than one or two
men who were not silverites. The
unanimity was astounding. The sem
timent down South is universally for
the white metal. Bryan will get a
very large vote from that section of
the country"

DEAN STAIR, a 17-year-old boy OF

cliff over the Klickitat river few days
ago, and the report of the gun
frightened his pack-horse so that it
plunged over a precipice 500 feet high
and was instantly killed.
