PARITY.
An Illustration OF the situation by James
G.. Clark.

An Illustration OF the situation by James
G. Clark.
James G. Clark. the peoples poet, has
written poetical illustration of the
cause of the lack of parity between gold
and silver. The illustration presents
the case in most forcible way and
makes 1T clearly plain why silver is not
on parity with gold: "..
Brother Jonathan owned a beautiful horse
That moved like a prince on the world S
race course
Only three and twenty years ago.
But an English jockey came one day
And to Hostler John did slyly say:
That's a hellegant 'orse you ave, We
know.
But the beastly thing is deuced slow
To what e might be IL you'd feed i'm 'ay
And take hall the blasted heats away"
And the jockey tipped the hostler's hand,
And sailed away to his native land.
But the horse waXed thin as "a famished
crow.
Then the Jockey came again and said:
why, the beast grows poor. but I'll bet
my cad
That is Tde will shine and is TANKS will
swell,
And he'll prance on the turf and trot like
ell,
Or the 'eaviest load will heasily draw
If you'll feed i'm OH public faith and straw
And keep i'm away from thai greenback
grass
That is making i'm slow and dull as bass
Now, do this, Johnnie, and over the foam
III bear the news TO the 'orse thieves ONE
And your face shall 'ang on the stable wall
With your Hinglish pals in Rothschid's
stall,
AS the only American fnancier
That the Hinglish thieves can call their
peer"
And, tipping the hostler's palm once more,
He sailed agaAn to his native shore.
But 10! While the horse grows faint and
weak
The jockey returns and exclaims. with
cheek
AS high and hard as a pyramid
While Jonathan swears and shifts his quid,
And the Jockey to Johnnie slyly winks,
And Johnnie appears as grave as the
Sphinx:
THAT silver gray is frail. thin cuss,
And ye cawn't trade the mammal off on us
Till ye bring i'm up to parity
With our blooded Hinglish 'orses See?"
And the hostler's honest face looks down
From the Robbers Roost in London town.

Plea OF the Beneiiciaries of th4 Sin8is
Gold StandaTd.
ThssSS, trusts and plutocrats 1hd the
gold gamblers are very much pgined TO
think THAI the poor. workingHnan is
sought to be made the victim ofSa prop
osition to foist q deprecated dollar on
him. 1t Is really wonder that the
tender hearts of the trusts, sSal haven't
beggared them long before this. Truly,
no such concern for the poor man has
been manifested recently as that which
the money power is expressing for him
in this canvass. And yet that poor man
is to-day suffering the pangs OF famine
and his family are sharing these pangs
because of conditions for which the
money power is directly responsible.
The gold syndicates thought it would
be a fine thing to spring financial panic
for the sake of the profits that accrue
TO panic-makers, but the people do not
share in those profits and their condi-
ton is not improved by the profound
sympathy of the money sharks.
There are millions of poor working,
men in this country who would be glad
to earn few deprecated dollars; who
are ready and most anxious to get work
at any price. They can't do it, how
ever, because the conditions that have
been imposed on them by the panic
promoters are not of the kind that
makes work plenty. The Cincinnati
'rimes-Star reports the state of affairs
in its immediate locality, and the gen.
eral condition is reflected in it's report.
in the course of which it says: IF any
man cares to get an adequate idea of the
straits to which good mechanics of this
city are put by reason of lack of work,
let him visit any of the new buildings
now in process of erection. If he keeps
his eyes and ears open he will discover
competent bricklayers and stonemasons
Offering their services at almost any
price and often offering them, too, as
hodcarriers. So much are they in need
of work that they are willing to do it
in the humblest possible way and at
minimum wages. Distress from long
idleness has brought about this condi-
ton"
The gold gamblers are on the verge of
tears because they fear that the dollar
of these unfortunate victims of plu-
tocratic rapacity and greed will be de-
preciated, and in order to avert such a
calamity they ask these unfortunates
to vote so as to continue existing con-
ditions. The few benefciaries of the
single gold standard ask its countless
victims to stick to it and suffer, and to
trust to the chapter of accidents for
that relief which is sorely needed. But
it may reasonably be doubted that any
important percentage of Americas
wage-earners will vote to rivet the
chains that bind them as the effect OF
alarm created by the gold gamblers
cry of a deprecated dollar.-Bingham-
ton IN. W Leade''.

The REAL ISSUE AT STAKE.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, Writes of the
One Great Question.


Senator Jones, of Nevada, Writes of the
One Great Question.
Senator John p. Jones, of Nevada,
writes as follows in the October Arena:
It Is a good thing for the American peo-
pie that the financial question Is now
clearly defiped, and that they have for
saken all other controversy in order to
give it their undivided attention. AS a
ration we are patient and lopg-suffer-
ing. We have for many moons heard
the tinkle of the goldbug in the land,
and we are at last alive to its meaning.
We have seen high and low tariff tried.
We have heard of the wonders that were
to be accomplished by the repeal of the
Sherman law. Then came bond issues,
about which the less said the better, and
lingering panic which has reduced q
large section Of the people to condi-
ton verging on despair. We have seen
caressipg clauses in the platforms of
the political parties promising the re-
Mobilization of silver, and many other
promises that have been cast aside and
entirely forgotten after victory was at
tanned.
Now the people know that neither
protection nor free trade, no matter
which in itself may be the better, cam be
of any real utility to the country until
the money question is settled and set
tied rightly. This is important, because
only one great question can be attended
to at time. This issue, once properly
disposed OF. others may be advantage
ously taken up. This one b the qsseD-

What He Advocated Before Joining tho
Money Power Conspiracy.

What He Advocated Before Joining tho
Money Power Conspiracy.
Henry Watterson, of the Louisville
Courler-Journal was not always a sim
gle gold standard man. Before he en-
tered the money power conspiracy he
and his newspaper were conspicuous
silver advocates. Mr.. Watterson's
thorough understanding of the money
question is evidenced by a leading edi-
torial in his paper ON August 10, 1886,
In which he laid down the following
seven propositions:
81. That the characterization of sill
yer, which has prevailed for some years
up to this writing, both in the United
States and Europe, has had the effect of
advancing the value of gold about 40 per
| cent.
go. That this has been accomplished
by depressing the value of all other
property to that extent.
$50. That about 40 per cent, of the
property and producing resources of
the people have thus been transferred to
comparatively small class of men,
whose stock in trade is gold invest
Inents.
"a. That in tie exact proportion as
gold has risen, the burden of debt and
taxation has increased; and that in pro-
portion as property and labor have de-
clined, the capacity of the people to pay
their debts and taxes has diminished.
"6. That the silver discount Is Great
ing a bonus of more than 30 per cent
In favor of the farm PROJECTIONS Of both
India and Asia, which to that extent
cheapens the wheat, cotton and various
other productions of the United States.
IS. That these lamentable conditions
have been produced by anti-sifver leg
islation. H..
~. That they can be undone and
prosperity be restored by pro-silver leg
islation."
The Courier~Journal then proceeded
to challenge the metropolitan press to
controvert Its propositions, and de
clared:
eff they cannot controvert either of
these propositions they are obviously
conniving at a gigantic fraud. 80 We
/ challenge the editors of the papers
named, and of any others, I o point out d
single flaw or error in any proposition
of the seven; and if this cannot be done
we ask in the name of the people what
interests they are serving, and what
consideration, in kind and amount, they
are receiving in conniving at the in
| iouity."-Denver Republican.

A Blow at National Integrity.

BY the demonstration of silver in
1873, done, as | believe, in the dark by
stealth, without the desire of the peo-
pie and against their present welfare
and their future prosperity, blow was
struck at the integrity of the United
States, under which it has reeled and
staggered for the last 20 years. In spite
of continued discussion in the congress
of the United States. in spite of con-
crosses elected pledged to the restora-
tfon of the white metal to its use as
money, in spite of the growing dis
tress of the agriculturist of the ma
fion, and the narrowing profits in all
business, in spite of all true principles
of monetary science, this economic
evil has been persisted in; and now,
moro than 20 years after the great
wrong against the people of the United
States was wrought, it is sought to take
smother step which inevitably must
stife industry and overwhelm our peo-
pie with greater NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

THE USES OF SILVER.
A New Argument Advanced on the Gold
Standard Side.

New Argument Advanced on the Gold
Standard Side.
New so-called arguments" against
bimetallism are coming forth at inter
walls. None of them seem TO be able to
last long in the full blaze of daylight.
One of the latest and most absurd of
this array is the following, which was
sent out by Henry Clevs g. Co., the
Wall street bankers:
IF the government adopts free silver
coinage 1t will increase the danger from
housebrealxers more than ever before, be-
cause the silver can be melted and sent
to the mint without II ever being traced
by its original owner. Housebreakers will
thrive at the expense of the rich. That
however, is an argument IN favor OF the
populists. as they are down on the rich.
HENRY CLEWS."
Mr.. Clews, however, goes only little
beyond his friends of the Wall street
press. After having denounced all
Americans who are advocating the
free coinage of silver as regulators,
swindlers or cranks, and after gravely
arguing that Mr.. Bryan himself Is in
sane, the spokesman of Wall street
scarcely Guido their record by describ-
ing the free silver movement as an eff
fort in behalf of burglars. Probably
they would find the most sinister mean
ing in the casual suggestion that if
more silver were in circulation as money
and less stationary in the form of
punchbowls and loving cups there
would be wider distribution of pros
perity throughout the land. Punch
bowls never stimulated trade.--N. Y.
