same medicine our boys are dishing
out to all comers. Kingman wen: to
bat first aud secured two runs-and
they haven't done anything since.
The Shamrocls kept piling up "a run
or TWO about every inning, while the
kingman boys could capture nothing
but goose eggs. The Shamrocks won
by score of to 2. As We go to
press the second game is being played.
The game stands Il to at the begin

ruler for the people, and they came to-
gether over against the Mississippi
within the walls of st. Louis, the great
city of the Missourians. And all the
tribes of the goldites. the blatherskites
and certain of the sllverites were
there with banners and trumpets and
kazoo5. And they began to have high
old time.
And they that were of the goldites
rose up and stood in the midst and
said: go to now, let us set up q
golden image that all the people may
bow down and worship for there is a
great murmuring among them" And
King Cyrus (who was also chief of the
blatherskites) and they that were with
him shouted: That's what's the mat
ter with HANNAH And SO they created
platform of gold and placed thereon
golden calf tMcKinley) and they all
shouted in a loud voice: "Great is
Mckinley of the Ohioans!''
But the silverites would not bow
down and worship the golden calf
which King Cyrus did set up. And so
they rose up and rent their clothes and
bolted; and they that bolted were as a
great multitude, being all the hosts of
silverites.
And so it came to pass soon there
after, that they that had bolted and all
the mighty army of the siiyerites came
together unto one place ia the city of
Chicago to choose a leader among them.
And Bryan of the tribe of Nebraska
was chosen. And Bryan was a mighty
man before the Lord and friend to
all the people. And the Lord was
with Bryan. And when it WAS known
that he had been chosen, it came to
pass that all the hosts OF the silverites
came around him and bore him upon
their shoulders into the midst of them
Now the number OF them that were
present were as great multitude and
they were terrible as an army with ban
ners. And they all cried with one ac-
cord: 1--WE will make Bryan ruler over
all the people," and it was so, and
there was great rejoicing throughout
the land. j. BY,
A Silverite of the Tribe of Kansas.

No nation ever fought great war by
the aid of gold. On the contrary. in
the crises of greater peril 1t becomes an
enemy more potent than the foe in the
field; but when the battle is won and
peace has been secured gold reappears
and claims the fruits of victory.
SIN our own civil war it is doubtful
if the gold of New York and London
did not work US greater injury than the
powder and lead and iron of the rebels.
1t was the most invincible enemy to
the public credit. Gold paid no soldier
or sailor. 1t was worth most when our
fortunes were lowest. Every defeat
gave it increased value. 1t aUds ifs open
alliance euiM oar enemies the ,corld over,
and all its energies were evoked for our
destruction. But as usual when dan
ger has been averted and the victory
secured, gold swaggers to the front
and assesrts the supremacy. But sill
yer is the money of the people. 1t is the
money of wages and retail. It's ten
dency is toward diffusion and dissem-
ination. It enters into the minute
concerns of trafic; and is exchanged
day by day for daily bread. It pene-
trateS the remOtest channels of com
merce. and its abundance, bulk and
small subdivision prevents it's deporta-
ton in sufficient amount to disturb or
unsettle values. If it retires at the
approach of danger, or from the pres
ence OF an inferior currency, it still
remains at home ready to respond at
the first summons for its return

INGALLS, ON GOLD.

In his speech in the house, in 1898,
Hon. Newton G. Blanchard, of Louis
lana gave many quotations from emf
nent men and some not SO eminent.
Among others he gave portion OF a
speech delivered in the senate by John
j. Ingalls, in 1878. Mr.. ingalls, said:
mo enduring fabric of national
prosperity can be buil6ed on gold.
Gold is the money of monarchs; kings
covet it, the exchanges Of nations are
affected by it. Its tendency is to accu-
mulate in vast masses in the CONNER.
cial centers, and to move from king
dom to kingdom in such volumes as to
unsettle values and disturb the finan-
ces of the world 1t is the instrument
of gamblers and spectators and the
idol of the miser and thief Being The
object of so much alteration, it becomes
naughty and sensitive and shrinks at
the approach of danger, and whenever
most needed it always disappears. At
the slightest alarm it begins to look for
refuge. 1t flies from the nation at
war to the nation at peace. War makes
it fugitive.
mo people in great emergency
ever found a faithful ally in gold. 1t
is the most cowardly and Greacherous
of all metals. 1t makes no treaty that It
does not break, It has no friend that
sooner or later it does not destroy.
Armies and navies are not maintained
by gold. In times of panic and calam.
Ely, shipwreck and disaster, it becomes
the chief agent and minister Of ruin.

statements of former years bearing on
the great and only issue of the day.
The words of Blaine were prophetic
He saw far ahead, and knew what
would be the effect of just such course
as the gold monometailists of his party
of today are pursuing. Read carefully
what these men say concerning the
demonetization of silver; then compare
their utterances with the st. Louis re-
publican platform and the utterances
of the great leaders of the republican
party of today:
