The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1896-06-26

SENATOR Pettigrew bolted with
the other silver men from the west
the other day at the st. Louis con-
uention. 1t takes considerable
nerve for one holding an office like
that Of United States Senator to
bolt his party as be has done but
it certainly shows that he has faith
in the principle he advocates and
is much more to be commended
than going before the people and
supporting a party under such cir
cumstances. It will now be in
order for the republicans Of this
state to allturn loose and, denounce
him him in the most bitter terms.

not a very pleasant thing for the
members Of that party to mediate
upon. 1t cannot be asserted that
it is simply a little band Of discon-
tented delegates who walked out Of
the St. Louis convention, for
among them are some Of the
ablest men in the party. 1t is
simply the act Of true Americans
who, when the party to which they
belonged adopted measures CONTRA
ry to their views. walked out and
refused to support the party.
This is as it should be and is a fit
ting example for many others to
follow. There is a growing dispo-
sltion and the press is constantly
c%ultivating the idea, that one is a
traitor who dare leave his party,
no matter wheather he agree with
it or not.

TIMID CAPITAL.

How often has that disgusting
statement, chat capital will not in
vest on account Of the silver agita-
ton came out from the east? The
Journal in it's issue Of June 18th
voices this sentiment and quotes
an extract from a letter from some
real or imaginary person who is
now down there trying to raise
capital. No doubt that those
mon1ed men in the east do tell
western spectators just such
stories thereby hoping to influence
the west in regard to silver. It's
all an internal fa]sehood made to
scare the southern and western
people. Did they not assure the
people that if the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman act was re-
pealed that money would flow west
in vast quantities? And did it not
grow scarcer and scarcer every day
up to the present time? Think Of
the absurdity of hat statement.
They will not loan their gold until
until the question is settled
Suppose they hold their gold until
the silver law passes: how much
bette: off will they be than had
they loaned it before 1t passed?
Stop a moment and think Of this
and you will see the lie behind it
all.

|osF osa3 "a dtszning them out =
ramp their livessaWay il this land
IS freedom and tho home Of their
fathers. Il took them several
years to reach this declaration but
year By year they we're coming
closer and closer to it.
As evidence that this party is the
champion of ali questionable and
privileged institutions we might
enumerats many things which will
prove it, but we will simply ask
our readers to observe the fact that
in this campaign all the powerful
monied institutions in the land is
with thiA party, with a few excep-
tions. The last administration of
the democratic party has attemp-
ted to initiate the republican poll
cy and has earned the condemn at
ion of the great mass Of its follow
ers.
just what the democratic party
will do we are unable to say but
one thing we do know aud that is
the populist party is in favor Of,
-,
free silver. We ask you, as clti-
zens Of America, not as members
of any party, what are you going
to do,if you believe the gold stand
ard is against the peoples interest?
Has that inexplainable prejudice
got such deep hold on you that it
will lead you to the poles to vote
against your sentiments on SO vital a
question? 1t is un-American for a man
to vote for a party when he does not be-
lieve IN its policy. We are more than
pleased to see the tstreak OF light which
shot up from the darkness OF this same
convention-the bolt of Senator Teller
and his followers. This will become uni
versal in our OPINION and their will be
such falling off in the republican states
that Mckinley can never be elected,
The domage to the populist party lies IN
the probable declara' ion OF the demo-
Gratis for free silver. Ii it should follow
the example OF the republicans then we
can sweep the field. Let every man who
loves his country, his home, his wife and
his children do their best thinking be-
tween this and next November.

GROUND HOG JOE AND THE
COMMISSIONERS.

Judge Gardner some two weeks
ago adjudged the Board Of County
Commissioners in Contempt Of the
peremptory writ Of mandamus is
sued by him compelling them to
enter into contract with Jos. b.
Gossage for furnishing blanks,
books, supplies, and also to do the
county printing. On Monday Mr..
Tracy and A. J. Mccain were fined
by the court $4,000 each and COM
mitted to the county Jail until the
writ Of mandamus is complied
with, We want our readers to
understand this case just as it is
and we invite Investigation into
the ,acts. When the peremptory
writ was issued on the return day
the Commissioners come into court
and announced their intentions to
move for q new trial and asked the
court to fix q mean time or stay
bond pending tile motion, which
was done and every step has been
taken on the motion for a new trial
that could have been taken and
yet these men are held incontempt.
Why? This motion for a new trial
the reader will understand is simp-
~ one way Of preparing a record
to take up an appeal. Can it be
possible that these parties have no
right of appeal? The UNION does
not wish to misrepresent this case
in the least and invites anyone
to look at the record who may feel
so interested. Ground Hog Joe
can go OH blowing his own horn
through the journal about his bid
being the lowest to his hearts con-
tent, but the fact remains that the
commissioners were onto his little
game of cuteness in preparing his
bid and know that he is the highest
bidder and the commissioners do
not propose to be coerced. into
doing what is wrong. They will
ask the Supreme Court for a writ
Of habeas corpus to release them
from custody notwithstanding the
Journals insinuation that this
will cost money and they could

AGAINST
HUMANITY.

- &
The great national republican
convention ef 1896, is now a thing
OF the past and III our opinion it
will constitute a conspicuous epoch
in the history Of this country. We
have contended for years that this
party was becoming the champion
of monopoly, capitalistic greed,
privileged classes and institutions,
and as such, was opposed to the
interests, and was tram peling
under foot the rights Of the great
common people, the wealth pro-
ducers, the foundation upon which
the mighty structure Of human
civilization rests. This was
almost an insult and seemed like
sacrilege to many Of our most hon
ored and liberty loving citizens
who had, in days gone by. fought
under the standard Of freedom
erected by Garstson, Lovejoy,
Philips and Lincoln for the free
dom Of an oppressed nation that
had groaned under the yoke Of
slavery ever since the foundation
Of the republic right under the
start and stripes, through their en-
thusiasm and loyalty to the party
which had done so much for the
black race; and while they were
singing it's praise and repeating
the deeds Of valor displayed upon
the field Of battle in carrying out
the final act of wiping black slave
ry from the face Of the earth, they
left the gates wide open and the
silent enemy stole in and got pos
session Of the party and used it to
enri ch themselves and to estab-
llsh In our midst the most power
full institutions Of legalized robbery
known in the history Of nations.
And that too, under the guise of
Legislation for the masses.
At it's convention at ST. Louis
this paaty declared for the gold
standard uncompromisingly.
We do not believe any sane man
who will give this subject one sin
gle moments thought will contend
that this measure IS in the interest
of the toiling millions. Just look
at it for a moment. Why is it
that every bona holder and cupon
clipper in the land is fighting for
the god standard? Simply becaus 0
it is a measure in the interest of
the professional creditors: those
people who have large securities
which they want paid in gold.
Why? Because with silver out Of
the way there will be;:but about one
half as many dollars, or units, and
then when their securities. or the
inteiest on them are paid it will
represent double the amount of
property, to what it would if both
gold and silver YER coined into
dollars. just take one glance over
the history Of the monetary legis-
lation in this country for twenty
five years past and then view with
alarm the tracks on every page Of
thesllent enemy who is robbing
