L.ncoln's Prophetic Words.

Springfield Monitor: No man ever
predicted the present state of things 60
clearly, nor prophetically call attention
to a great wrong. than did Abraham
Lincoln at the close of the war. Said
he: "As a result of the war corpora
tions have been enthroned and an era
of corruption will follow. The money
power Of the country will endeavor to
prolong its reign by playing on the pre-
judices of the people until all wealth is
concentrated In a few hands and the
republic destroyed. Before God, l
fear more for the safety Of my country
now than when 1t was In the midst Of
war" Were ever words pictured by
mortal man that pictured the present
condition Of the country better than
these words from Mr.. Lincoln? Will
you not heed the man who could see
In what danger this country ID in from
the condition of things he warned u
against?

Teller Rs = Bolter,


Henry NJ. Teller, in coming out solid
ly for Bryan and Sewall. has proved
himself the ideal bolter OF this era of
bolts. Mr.. Teller takes with him
choice bunch of mavericks ready to
offer their senatorial and congressional
fianks to the branding irons Of democ-
racy.
Senator Teller and his confreres are
the only men SO far developed in either
of the three parties or innumerable
sub-parties who have demonstrated
that they possess courage as well as
conviction. So far as can be observed
the other boilers have talked, threaten
ed, cajoled. implored, demanded and de-
fled. and then have calmly submitted
to their party collar with occasional
weak splutterings of disgust. Not so
with Senator Teller. He neither
threatened nor expostulated, after he
found the sentiment of the st. Louis
convention against him. He shook
hands with the chairman, told the dele
gates he had been republican for
thirty-fve years. but could not swallow
gold" and then left the platform and
the hall.
Once outside of his party he has not
sought to gain control Of 1t by forming
The Meeker herald., 1896-08-22

ganized money capitalists are not on
his side in this struggle. Their inter-
ests are opposed now as they ever have
been and perhaps will be for centuries
to come. Capital wants labor to pro-
duce as cheaply as possible. This labor
knows. AS one republican paper puts
It, 'If We cannot quote labor as in favor
OF maintaining the present gold stand
ard we ought not quote capital; 1t does
more harm than good" Let us get of
this financial issue onto the tariff. Pro-
lection Is the campaign cry.
But the democratic platform does not
oppose protection.
The populist platform does not oppose
protection.
The silver platform does not oppose
protection.
At the same time the three platforms
declare for free silver.
The republican platform declares
against free silver.
The party papers must not recede
from the issue. They must fight us
along financial lines, It's hopeless
fight Of course and to tell the truth 1t
is pttiful to see the once great Republi-
can party going down to defeat with
Wall street. EX-REPUBLICAN,

The Mexican Dollar.

Lewistown News: The Mexican dol

money. Some shallow pated individ-
uals deem this positive proof that the
free coinage of silver by the United
States would be disastrous. Measured
by our 2O0-cent gold dollar our silver
dollar is worth but SO cents. The Mex
lean dollar is worth more than our sill
yer dollar. 1t is not fiat dollar; 1t is
not a dishonest dollar. 1t only passes
current with us for what 1t is actually
worth. 1t Is not redeemable in gold,
but 1t Is redeemable in itself. 1t is not
by the greenback process convertible
into gold. It does not drain our treas
ury Of the reserve. 1t does not make
necessary the Issuing of bonds. 1t is
an ideal silver dollar. The free coin

a new branch or by holding another
convention. He has simply accepted
the logic of the situation. and. being in
earnest, has adopted the surest method
of defeating that which he could not
support. Right or wrong on the in
trinsic merits of the case. Senator
Teller has demonstrated the way in
which boilers from either side of the
question should go. He believes free
silver is right, and is doing all in his
power to defeat gold. The st. Louis
boilers are not straddling or attempt
ing to beg the question. and their
course cannot but commend itself to
fair-minded mer -. honesty of pur-
pose, sincerity and courage.-Chicago

Song Of Silver.
By James B. Goode.

Tell lis not in mournful numbers,
life is but an idle dream; for we see
that wealth controls us and we are
not what we seem. Rights. that
once our statutes gave us, now no
longer can we claim; for the Shylock
buys conventions and the candidates
doth name. What are we that we
should grumble, DER the platform that
he writes: 'tis the task of common peo-
pie, to believe what he indites. Cringe,
ye slaves, for Wall street Shylocks have
the 6. o. p. in hand; you must vote for
Bill Mckinley and for gold, alone,
must stand.
Ah. but listen to the murmur, of the
thunder DER the plains; as the people
rise in anger, to protest against such
claims. Down with tyrant gold,"
they're shouting, "out upon those blat-
ant knaves; we are freemen and, by
thunder, none can sell us out as slaves.
We're for silver and for freedom and
our clans are brave and true; we can
beat that Bill Mckinley and his Wall
street masters, too" Silver! Silver!
shouts the chorus, from the hill-tops
far away, while the millions in the
valleys, sing Its praises every day.
Silver will increase our wages, 1t
will give us work each day; for twill
thwart the mighty Shylock and will
take his power away. Rising prices
for our products, business for our idle
men; all will come to bless the nation.

Plenty will return to millions and pros

workman, whom silver's money once
