II the dollar that Is paid to labor

The "Crime" of 1873.

We hear much OF the crime of '73.
We are told that silver was demone-
tized by trick. We are informed
that the panic which began Ia 1893
and Is still on was caused by the de-
monetization of silver in 1873. There
must be mighty little active energy
In silver IL it takes 20 years after
vaccination for the inflammation to
break out. Who were the criminals?
First, they we're Senator Stewart,
president Of the Chicago Popocratic
con INVENTION, who spoke in favor OF
gold as the only standard while the
bill was under consideration. Second
It was Senator Jones, OF Nevada,
who said in the same debate: "Gold
is the only standard among great
commercial people," and Jones has
furnished the ablest aud most pro-
ductive of the silver literature. Bryan
must hang them; he must suspend
upon the same gallows every living
member of the congress OF 1873, both
in the senate and house, because they
all voted for this bill. But, says
Mr.. Bryan, 1t was on their desks for
a year and a half; II was debated
through 153 pages Of the congressi-
onal record, but not member OF
either house understood the most
important bill Of the session. II
Bryan is right what collection Of
idiots the congress of '73 must have
been.
But silver was demonetized by JEFF
ferson's order to the mint to coin no
more silver dollars in 1906; 30 he
must 60 to Monticello, and take out
the bones of jefferson from their
tomb and hang them as an exhibit,
and as the creator OF this crime. as
Charles ii. did OF Cromwell. He
must go to the hermitage and dis
turb the sacred resting place OF Gen.
jackson, and put his skeleton on ex-
hibit He must 60 to Marshfield for
Webster, and TO Ashland for Clay,
and South Carolina for Calhoun, and
to Missouri for Thomas A. Bcntou,
and to Auburn for Vim. H. Seward,
for either In 1884 or 10 1853, when a
law was passed making silver cur
rency only under IS, or in 1919 they
spoke for, advised and voted for tue
demonstration OF silver.
Who are the criminals upon the
gsllows, and who are the hangmen,
who, as the representatives of the
virtue and intelligence OF our day,
have executed Just judgement upon
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1896-10-29

Bryan proposes to abolish the Sit
preme Court, and make it the crea-
ture Of the party caucus whenever a
new Congress comes in, because 1t de-
cided the income tax to be unconsti-
tutional. 1t decided not that an in.
come tax is unconstitutional, but that
the law passed by the pOpocratic con-
gress was UNCONSTITUTIONAL; or, in
other words that this party hadn't
brains enough to frame constitu-
tional law. / will undertake TO re-
tain anyone of the half dozen law
yers whom ! could name in Chicago
who could draft a law on this sub
ject which the Supreme court would
hold TO be constitutional. Abolish
ing the Supreme Court will not fur
nish constructive talent to Mr.. Bry-
ans party. There are three things
legislation cannot do. II cannot give
experience to child, even, IL he is
36 years old. 1t cannot put sense
where nature has failed to putt, and
1t can not make SO cents dollar. -

Last Friday evening the Court
house was well filled by those who
desired to hear Hon. Chas. S. Hamp-

gress, from this district. He was

his talk, but got warmed up and

speech worthy OF the man, more OF a
harangue OF glittering geueralities,
except the larger part OF it was as
sertions to prove that the speaker
was one OF the most brilliant aud
able men in this district. The larger
part Of the audience were not in SYM
pathy with him, and the applause
was limited, though the hall rang
with cheers for Mckinley after the
close of the meeting. AS there Is
