they are less rich than others; again there are com

Mr.. Cleveland has always maintained himself very
exclusively at the White House. He is not what can
be described as cordial man. nor is he amieable His
being snubbed by the chief men of his own party
For the first six months Of the administration, the
President had frequently TO complain OF the exuber
OF his party friends and their sometimes grotes

him early and late and gave him little opportunity "a

sidering appointments for Office

not given more time to waging an un.

to cooperating with foreign money
lenders for increasing the bonded In
debtedness of an already over burdened

The resolution was taken up seri

some stirring speeches denunciatory Of

Opening Their Eyes.

1t is very evident from the many
encouraging reports from the east
that thinking men are at last begin
ming to realize the true cause of the
distress of this great Republic.
Sooner or later all business men, ex-
cept money loaners, will realize that
an enlargement of the currency, by
the restoration of silver, is absolutely
necessary to their commercial exis-
tence.
The following action of the mer-
chants in the city of Chester, Penn
sylvania, is significant of the drift of
public sentiment:
Resolved, That in view of the con-
slant fall in the price Of all commodi-
ties under the present gold standard,
and the consequent paralysis of our
bushes, as well as that Of the rest of
the country, the Chester Merchants
and business Mems Association must
respectfully decline to concur in the
resolution presented by the Boston
Merchants Associa ton in favor of
maintaining the gol ID Standard
Whereas, There is not nova greater
amount of both gold and silver in the
ratio of 16 to l, to furnish sound
basis for volume of currency, that
would restore prices to the normal
level of special payments in 1878; and,
Whereas, The annual production of
both gold and silver is scarcely suffi,

supply, and thus maintain the normal
value OF money; therefore be 1t

The Devil Unmasks,

The New York Tribune in COM
menting upon the New York State
Republican platform says:
No one can misunderstood this
"Until there is a prospect of inter.
national agreement as to silver coin.
age, and while gold remains the stan.
dard Of the United States and of the
civilized world, the Republican party
of New York declares itself in favor o.
the firm and honorable maintenance
of that standard"
You are right, remarks the Poca
tello Advance. The mask is thrown
off. We understand what you mean
You mean more contraction, more
falling prices, more hard times, and
you mean that there shall be no re.
lief. You propose nothing but what
has been tried and found wanting.
You propose more tariff-tinkering.
You want the war tariff OF 1878, which
was in existence when the panic OF
that year swept over the laid. You
want the Mckinley tariff of 1898,
which was in existence when the cy-
clone of destruction Frustrated the in
dustries Of the country. You are OPP
posed to anything which will avert the
calamities which afllict the people.
Everything that you and your goldbug
associates suggest as remedy for ex-
listing evils has been tried and found
wanting. The people are tired of your
deadly nostrums. The poison Of con-
traction which you continue to adj
minister is doing its deadly work.
You are no remedy. The people will
apply their own, and they will speak
in as unmistaken terms as the fobber
gang which you present in the Re-
publican platform of New York.

One would think from the frantic
manner in which the Republicans are
bowling for protection and against the
deficiency of revenue, that the only
thing needed to make every laborer in
the country a millionaire is to put the
Republicans in power and enact a
high protective tariff. They forget
that the panic of 1898 occurred while
this country was suffering from the
Mckinley law. Also that it was Re,
publican supreme court that knocked
out the Democratic income tax law
and thus defrauded the government of
$50, 100000 of revenue. The Repub-
Iicans are not rehearsing these facts
but they exist to condemn them. They
figure that they have been out so long
that the people will welcome them
back as the prodigal. Watch the peo
pie fool them.--Independent, Tarkio,
