THE HARD TIMES ARGUMENT,

But-and here is the popular argument
in favor of free silver coinage-we have
had hard times under the gold standard.
That is true, and what is also true is that
under the silver standard we shall have
much harder times. It is the great fallacy
of the day to be attributing our hard
times to the gold standard. The craze for
free silver as cure for hard times is ex-
plicable on the same theory that man
who has been a long time sick despite the
attentive care of expert physicians will
call for any quack who advertises to cure
all the ills of humanity. Hard times have
come through the severe and resistless
working of economic laws-which go their
way in spite of legal enactments of parlia.
ments or congresses. Our hard times
have come from the general competition
with the countries of the whole globe into

CALLS 1T REBELLION.

The movement which had it's expression
In the Chicago convention and which now
seeks by means of popular suffrage to
enthrone itself in the capital of the nation,
is in its logical effects rebellion against
the United States; it is secession; the Sc
cessiOn of 1861 which our soldiers believed
they had consigned to eternal death at
Appomatax, but which demands again
recognition from the American people.
The declaration in the Chicago platform
has, and can have, no other meaning:
"We denounce arbitrary interference by
federal authorities in local affairs as
violation Of the constitution of the United
States and a crime against free institu-
tions." The words point to the act of
Grover Cleveland, sending United States
troops to protect national property and
enforce national laws during the Chicago
riots, in 1894. In those words there is the
old secession doctrine that states are
Independent of the national government
at Washington. There is the an
nulment of the Union; there is no.
tice served upon the flag of America,
that outside of the District of Columbia, it
is without power Of self assertion or self
defense The president of the United
States is told that to enforce national
laws and protect national property he
cannot march his troops into any state
without the authorization of the governor
of that state. One of the chief speakers at
the convention of Chicago understood the
significance Of the convention and voiced
it's spirit. II came from state which
was the home of secession" said Senator
Tillman Of South Carolina. II say" he
continued, sit is "a sectional issue, and it
will prevail" And fitting was it that the
speaker, voicing the spirit of the Chicago
convention, should be the representative
of South Carolina. Thrice has South
Carolina spoken for secession-when it
passed in 1882 the notification ordinance,
when in 1861 it fired on Fort Sumter,
when in 1896, it cries out IA sectional
issue and it will prevail"
The platform of the Chicago convention
threatens the country with destruction of
social order, with lawlessness and anar.

the promise of safety to our free institu-

QUARTZ MINING IN ALASKA,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Bertha,
which has just arrived from Alaska,
were j. E. Spur, H. B. Goodrich and
S. @. Schrader of the United States
Geological survey. They were sent by
the department to Alaska last spring to
make report on prospects of quartz
mining in that region, and they spent
the entire summer in pursuing their in
vestigations and observations. They

the Upper Yukon about the middle of
June. They then went down the Yu.

say, that the prospects Of profitable
quartz mining in Alaska are very good,
and will make report to that effect
There is a big ledge running northwest
and southeast through the country
similar to the mother lode in Califor-
mia, and they expect to see many big
mines opened Oh the ledge before many
years have passed. At present placer

Society of "Ca-Too-Ahs =" Said to Be After
His Scalp.
SOUTH MCAL1sTER, Oct 13.-It is
rumored that United States Commits
sioner David w. Yancey of Tahlequah,
in the Cherokee country, has been
"spotted" by the society of Indian
criminals known as the "Ca- Too Ais"
which has for long time been the
terror of all law-abiding and especially
law-enforcing people of that country.
To an Associated Press representative
Commissioner Yancey denied any
knowledge Of the matter, and says he
feels certain that the society, whose ex-
istence he doubts, has no member who
could justly charge him with improper
or excessive prosecution or punish ent,
which apparently is the cause for COM
plant. It is believed to have been one
of the "Ca.Too.Ahs' members who
assasinated Thomas H. Madden of
Braggs Station, about six months ago.

LABORING CLASSES WILL SUFFER

am absolutely convinced that the Ia
boring classes will suffer the most of all
from free silver coinage. And yet the
laboring classes are those that are the
most urgently appealed to in this free sill
yer movement. A man who talks against
free silver is put down at once as an ene-
my Of the common people" Well, for
my part am willing to be called an enc
my of the working classes, of "the COM
mon people," if I am in reality advising
them for their good and serving their true
interests. Those above all others in the
land who should today be on their guard
against the silver movement are the labor
ers of America.
But, will not the farmers be benefited?
Will they not receive higher price for
their products? May be, higher price
but not higher value. Of what use is it
to have dollar instead of a half dollar if
the dollar can purchase no more than the
half dollar?. And will farmers receive
even nominally much higher price than
they do now? The best market of the
farmers product is his own country. And
if his own country is impoverished, if
factories are closed, if laborers in cities
are penniless, the farmer will receive but
little far his haryests.
Men on salaries will scarcely hope to
have their salaries doubled even nomin-
ally-and, then, their salaries, such as
they may be, will have only half the pur-
chasing power they have today.
Those who owe debts payable-principal
or interest-in gold will receive the same
salaries as today and their salaries will
have but half the debt paying power which
they have today.
But those who owe debts, not payable
in gold? Well, if the country is ruined,
where will they find even silver to pay
their debts in silver? The only men bene-
fitted-and they are few today-and it is
scarcely worth while to bring around a
revolution in the country to benefit them
are the debtors who have today gold on
hand, and who, by free silver coinage will
have their store doubled in nominal value,
and will be enabled to reduce their debts
by one half. And for those the question
remains: Is it honest?
It is delusion to imagine that silver
will circulate SO plentifully that it can be
had easily by all, and that the quantity
will make up for the lack of value. If sill
yer bullion does not increase in CONNER
cial value, silver will not be produced in
quantities. and as owners of silver will
not part with it except in exchange for
commodities of labor which they deem
useful and valuable, if the business of the
country is not prosperous the people will
get very little silver and obtain no profit
from free mintage.

The man who lies
wounded on the battle

The hrSt thought of a

men and women on the battle field of life.
Shattered in body and mind, and suffering
fortunes before which the brief suffering of
the wounded hero on the battlefield of war,
pales into insignificance. They make no
outcry and their friends and acquaintances

These are the thousands of sufferers from

Tt affords the MIDLAND TOTrRNAT much

1t affords the MIDLAND JOURNAL much
pleasure to announce the nomination OF
John 1. Carter of Chatham, Pa, as a
delegate to represent Chester county in
the legislature Mr. Carter has been a
subscriber and reader of the MIDLAND
JOURNAL for several years, and of course
is free silver man of the purest water.
The farmers of Chester county could find
no better representative of their class, and
it is to be hoped they will have the good
sense and independence to send him to
Harrisburg next winter with a rousing
majority behind him.
OF Mr.. Carter's nomination the West
Grove Indebendent says,-and the IN
dependent is mighty skittish about politics
''It affords the Independent much
pleasure to have the satisfaction of an
nouncing that highly-respected, pro-
gressive, and intelligent citizen of this
vicinity has been named for the Legisla-
ture in the person of John I. Carter, of
Chatham. 1t is one of the most creditable
acts the Democracy of Chester County
has been guilty of for years, and if the
farmers know where they "are at" they
will roll up big majority for friend
Carter.

head and shoulders above him, and is in
many ways better qualified to serve the
people. The farmers need man of his

Our purchases from American nation
south of us amount to $40, 900, 900 more
than they buy from us. flour minis were
open to silver coinage they would buy
their goods of us and our sales to them
would be increased at least to that
amount. Free silver would prove one of
the best tariffs our manufacturers could
possibly have. 1t would bring to us all
the trade of the nations of North and
South America from the Rio Grande to
Cape Horn. They are all silver using
nations and would trade with the country
that would give them the most goods for
their silver. Free coinage of silver would
bring us the trade of Asiatic nations
whose exchanges with gold basis nations
cost them hundred per cent. With a
great free silver coinage nation ex-
change with them would be at par. They
are all building up manufacturing in
their own countries because the gold
nations are charging them such high rates
of exchange in settling balances of trade.
With free coinage the United States
would soon drive every gold standard
nation out of trade with China, Japan and
American countries south of us. Free
coinage is the very best tariff the
United States could have. 1t would
raise the price of American farm products
in European gold standard countries and
cut off their trade with silver using coun-
tries, which would come to us.
