gold reserve.
NOW, If Cleveland and Carlisle were
patriotic, what would be the proper
thing to do?
! Inc law says the notes which the
nankers present at the treasury, for

coin.
Let the secretary pay n silver rather
tnan cep'ete the gold reserve and the
raids would cease at once.
This same scheme OF raiding the
treasury was aitemnled IN Mr.. Cleve-
lands first administration. when Can
| lei Manning was secretary of the treas
| ury Mr.. Manning went to New York
| and called the gold raiders together and
gave them this plain democratic talk:
Gentlemen: The treasury Is willing
70 furnish gold for any legitimate de-
mand, but if you attempt TO draw upon
the treasury gold after to-day as you
are now doins for hoardirg or specula-

that you be naid 10 ner cent in silver
coin the first day. the second dav you
VIII be paid 90 per cent in silver. and
the third day so per cent. and so op
until one-half is paid Won in silver"
But" exclaimed the astonished
bankers, this is in violation of the
implied obligation that the government
will pay in gold"
Make no mistake about that. gem
tlemen," replied Mr.. Manning. "the Law
says coin and the treasury will exer-
else its undnuhted provocative"
That put stop to the gold raiding.
In 1868. when Fisk and Gould cor
nered the gold market. and caused such
an extensive stringency in money that
4 panic was precipitated. the govern
ment stepped in and threatened to issue
$50,000,000 additional currency il the
conspirators did not let up.
ludt threat broke the panic. In 1873,
during the great panic of that year. the
government threatened to buy $4,000
OOO of its bonds, releasing from the
treasury that amount of money for cir
culatioh If the bankers did not cease
their operations against the public in
terests.
That threat brought them to time.
But what does Cleveland do?
He puts out bonds and takes the
money in from circulation. only aggra-
waiting the situation.
If ever president deserved impeach
ment he does.
But both old parties have supported
him in his policy, and both are equally
guilty with him in this foul conspiracy.

Right TO Bolt.

The right to bolt is simply nothing
more nor less than the right of revolu-
| tion. Quoting from the immortal Decla-
people of political party should exer-
else the right to bolt, as a duty
when a long train of abuses and
usurpations, pursuing invariably the
same object, evinces design to re-
duce them under absolute despotism.
it is their right. it is their duty, to
provide new guards for their future
security"
Such, in plain words, is the right
nay, the duty-of revolution, as laid
down by Thomas Jefferson.
Permit US to ask our democratic
friends what should be done in case
beth the platform and the candidate of
1892 should be chosen at Chicago in
next July's national convention?
Suppose Cleveland were to be re-
nominated. on the sane double
tongued platform as before, would you
feel called upon to support the ticket.
regardless of principle?
Jeffersonian democracy is composed
OF principles. When principle is set
aside. Jeffersonian democracy is re-
pudiated.
Jefferson says in another place in the
declaration, that governments are
instituted among men. deriving their
just powers from the consent of the
governed"
But whipping voters into the party
lines in order to make them cast their
ballots for that which they do not
want, never did, nor never will. isn't
democracy.
Nor can the man who casts a reluct-
ant ballot under the smart OF the par
ty lash call himself a consistent fol-
lower of Jefferson.-Nevada Director.

the following query:
viii you kindly telegraph US your
opinion on the possibilities of Secretary
OF State Olney. of Massachusetts. as a
democratic candidate for the presi-
Gency?"
The governor replied as follows:
"lnasmuch as Mr. Olney has never
come any nearer the democratic fold
than to play hide-aud-seek in a mug
wump alley. and inasmuch as the great
trusts Fave not driven him ont OF their
rear yard. his chances should be very
good. especially in the light of the last

MILITANT PATRIOTISM.

DR. George R. Peck, who delivered
the address at the commencement ex-
ercises at Union College, Schenectady,
recently, took for his subject THE Eth
les of Patriotism" and he treated it in
a manner that would turn the hair of
pessinists gray through fright and dis
appointment DR.. Peck believes that
love of country means ardent love: an
aggressive and demanding love that de-
YOURS while 1t honors, and consumes
while 1t builds up and vitalizes.
His idea of patriotism Is that 1t is
robust if 1t Is good for anything. He
has utter contempt for the dilettant
patriotism that is full of Ifs and
lands" and that treads ON its toes and
snoops around with hopes, and excuses,
and fears, and doubts, and prayers, and
all that. Patriotism IS vital, robust,
strong" said DR.. Peck. "It Is not sat-
isfied by a faint preference. g. delicate
partiaHty for ones country. nor can 1t
patiently endure that thin and taste
less creed which processes to hold all
lands and all peoples in equal estima-
ton
DR.. Peck, here's a hand to you, and a
God bless you" for your courage and
your vigorN The only wonder is that
such patriotic hard sense could come
out of Chicago, your home, which
breeds Altgelds and Haymarket mas
sacres, and anti Government riots, and
all manner Of greasy collared schemes
to undo the best grant God ever made
to humanity.
But while clasping congratulatory
palms with DR.. Peck for saying what
ought to be -rung into the ears of Amer
lean youth day In and day out, we
cannot leave the subject without quot
ing a few steel-spring. clear-cut and
ringing periods from Peck on patriot
ism.
Declaring that the real springs Of hu-
man action are and must be concealed.
he approached his subject thus, after
eloquent reference TO the preparations
for the national election.
If we would know the moral sanctions
upon which our relations TO each other
as citizens, and to our country. must
rest, we shall find them, not alone in
platforms and declarations, but in the
oracles of conscience, where every pri-
NAL duty finds voice.

The Kern Echo has been raking
among statistics to some effect. 1t
finds that in 1890, according to the
official showing, there were employed

country, 57.3O7 persons all told, in
cluding office forces and above and

how much more important 1t is to foster

silver mining business-if we cannot
advance the interests of both, and

In the labor union riot in Clevelan MD
cn Thursday THE police of that city did
some of the most effective club work
of which there is any record. The force
of police appears to have been admira-

courageous and have a keen sense of the
obligations their oaths impose upon
them to uphold the law and preserve
the peace and suppress disorders. The
Cleveland rioting grows out of demand
that an outside influence shall be per-
mitted to dictate to an employing con-
