AI.sndjadv's A Plant

Editor Herald: A gentleman called at
the back door last week and said he was
u health officer, and that all garbage
vessels must be kept covered, for they
cred.
l asked how he could reasonably ex-
pect covers to be kept on when the city
is overrun with dogs. He replied:
Some one must be responsible; so we
hold the landlady responsible" And as
he walked away he remarked that he
would have law passed compelling the
people to provide cans with tight covers
for garbage.
Of course the landladies and house,
keepers have nothing to do but stand in
the back yard by the garbage vessels
and replace the covers every time cur
on the hunt for bit of meat or choice
bone throws them Off. And there is not
a landlady or housekeeper in the city
who could be SO entirely ungrateful as
to not thoroughly appreciate such q
sWeet-scented pastime, and especially
when the accumulation is three or four
days old and she is famed by the ex-
quisitely delicious odors.
Even if it were better for health,
which is not the case. why mar the city's
books with a law requiring garbage ves-
sells covered and at the same time pro-
vide another which permits vast herd
of dogs to perambulate the city, whose
are kept uncovered, thus rendering COM
pliance with the law practically impos-
sible, and then waste the peoples money
paying one or more men to go from door
to door ordering the covers kept on?
Oh, consistency, where art thou?
Would 1t not be much better from the
point of health, cleanliness and neatness
and no more expensive, to employ more
teamsters and have the garbage and
all the filth cleaned up and hauled out
of the city by o'clock every morning
instead of allowing it to Tester in the
sun half week, and then having the
garbage wagons trailing through the
streets frequently long after noon? 1t
is to be sincerely hoped that a law
requiring the use of garbage cans with
closely fitting covers will never obtain.
Any ordinary child of ten summers
knows that meat, vegetables and fruit
will decay much faster kept tightly COW
cred than when allowed free circula-
ton of air. And the accumulation Of
poisonous gases pent up in tightly COW
cred vessels would be positively dan
gerous to the lives of those who must
open them from time to time, and also
the teamsters who must empty them.
And the whole neighborhood would sad
ly need disinfecting every time the ves-
sells were emptied.
1 protest against the rank injustice
of any law requiring garbage vessels
covered, with all the dynamic and gi-
gantic energy of which any one is capa-
BILE. I do not advocate the breaking
of any law. no matter how bad it may
be, but DO think it high time the people
should bestir themselves and ascertain
whether the United States has not been
heaved up through the center of some
European monarchy. Many of our laws
would be far more appropriate there.
We are a nation burdened and suffering
almost unto death from numerous laws
which are both unjust and un-American.
The utter disregard of lawmakers for
the inalienable rights of the people is
largely responsible for law breaking.

Carlisle and Sherman were strongly in
favor OF free coinage prior to the inVa-
sion of English elnissaries and silvers
demonetization in 1873
Mr.. Thompson makes huge mistake
when he talks about dishonest and de-
based money. He mistakes the real is
sue before the people in this campaign
1t is not a question of whether free
coinage would be the best thing for the
nation and the masses of the world. 1t
is already conceded by all parties that
we must have free coinage if we are
ever to have prosperity again. The only
question is whether the United States
shall have it now or wait six, eight or
ten, and possibly twenty years for some
foreign nation to acquiesce in the prop
ositon. Indeed, even this is not the real
issue that is at stake. 1t is the old, old
story--the masses battling for another
step forward for the approach of one
more foot toward the goal of human in
dependence. 1t is indeed sad to see the
ministers of God opposing this grand
forward movement, but what are we
to expect when the masses refuse to put
their trust in the All Wise and allow
the policy of the churches to be dictated
by that class who are ever on hand to
oppose anything looking to industrial
progress?

financial and economic problems Of the
day will be the ultimate result of Bry-
ans and the peoples victory.
But how will it be should Mckinley
be elected? Nothing could act more
disastrously on the American standard.
Only Bryan can save the American
standard by an international under
standing. 1t is true that the bankers
are just now keeping UP the coin of the
treasury, and contrary to their usual
ways, without compensation. This may
proceed for some time, but should Nc
Kinley be elected they will remember
the nice little profits of the Cleveland
bond issues and get even. Does any one
believe that Wall street gives up its
gold SO Unselfishly?
How will Mckinley seek to combat
the chronic standard crisis with a pro-
tective tariff? In case protective tar
iff should be enforced, the income Of the
government will be lessened as the i'm
ports will be reduced. Look, then, about,
as under Cleveland, for another syndi-
cate which would be asked to play the
guardian angel over the standard, and
the American people will contribut
more millions for the redemption of
currency, thus playing into the hands
of the money lenders and lowering the
price of all products.
On this side of the Atlantic the silver
question is recognized as paramount
by capitalism. 1t is really edifying to
see how our European capitalistic, free
trade, gold prss raves over the arch
tariff fiend, Mckinley. On the other
hand, Mr.. Bryan has the sympathies of
the producing classes of all European
lands in this campaign. You are fight
ing the battle of labor against the stock
echange, til , battle of farmer against
the speculator. Th victory of Bryan
will be the beginning of a peaceful solu-
tion Of social questions.

Politics in the Pulpit

Editor Herald: 1t is somewhat dis
couraging to one vreligiously inclined to
hear of minister Of the Gospel deliver
ing from the sacred pulpit a sickly,
egotistical, dictatory and absurdly mar
row-minded sermon" on the financial
question: Sermon" as partisan in it's
nature as if it We're written by the paid
emissaries of Wall street. And yet, if
we are to believe thte public prints, such
a sermon was delivered by Rev. S. A.
Thompson last Sunday evening at Vim
cent Methodist church, this city. Ac-
cording to the Times of Monday, the
discussion of the political issues was
begun by the speaker with vigorous
scorching of the Populist platform
adopted at the Chicago convention, as
compared with the ST. Louis platform
of the Republicans. The Chicago con-
glomeration' was characterized as up
holding. states rights; countenancing
anarchy and riot; intimidating and
threatening courts and officers for doing
their duty; menacing the overthrow of
the civil service reform; and the re-
Establishment of the despicable spoils
system and as looking toward the sub
stitution Of. a debased and dishonest
currency for the sound and honorable
coin of the realm"
If Mr.. Thompson is correctly reported
by the Times, he has overstepped all
bonds even of decency in his sickly ef-
fort to dispose of the financial question.
and to everlastingly put to rest the Peo-
ple's and Democratic parties. He has
done more than that. If the Times re-
port be true of his views on the financial
question, and especially the crime of
'73," Mr.. Thompson has proved by his
own reported expressions that he does
not know anything about the demone-
tization of silver and its effect upon the
industries of the country, and simply
delivered from his pulpit absolute false
hoods that have been hashed and re-
hashed in the columns of the Republican
press during the past few months.
1t is not the intention of your humble
contributor to deny Mr.. Thompson the
privilege Of corrupting his pulpit with
such discourse If he chooses to do so,
but as one of his humble Methodist flock,
+ would like to inquire If such shocking
divergence from the teachings of
Christ is not detrimental in many ways
to the soul-saving business?
If the reverend sir is honest in what
he, Is reported to have said, then he
ought to as honestly confess that he
lacks learning and information on the
political issues that he attempted to dis
cuss, for certainly any school boy of
ordinary intelligence on the financial
question ought to be able to refute the
argument advanced by him. 1t is de-
plorable that minister of the grand
old Methodist church should make
such characterizations Of a political
party and platform - reported in the
The herald., 1896-09-06
of that id gang of Wall and Lombard
street pirates. l duit them

of that id gang of Wall and Lombard
street pirates, ! quit them.
1 shall work and vote for free silver,
convinced as L am that it is the only way
out of present troubles. 1 shall work
and vote for Bryan and Sewall-not as
Democrats, but as representing the best
interests Of the common people, and not
of a little gang of Jay Gould wreckers
1 will make the prediction right now
that if Mckinley should be elected
which he will not-and should persist in
carrying out literally the policy of the
ST. Louis convention, this republic, as
republic, ceases to exist.
The American people have stood this
robbery about as long as they will with
out fight.
AS far as this state is concerned it
is all one way. Bryan will have at least
10000 majority and probably more.
AS a fact the Republican
party in this state has ceas-
ed to exist The remnant Is composed
of the class who fatten off their neigh
bors' necessities and who in turn will
go down in the general crash
The silver sentiment is growing here
daily. The servile press of this country
has been purchased bodily by the Mark
Hanna outfit.
I believe Bryan will carry our old
state-Illinois. In conclusion, I think
that every true friend of the American
republic should vote and work for Bry-
an and free silver We have had years
of the gold standard, and the country
is on the verge of armed revolution, and
we should not hesitate to apply the
remedy, free silver.

Times. If Mr.. Thompson favors Mr. Nc
Kinleys election rather than Mr.. Bry-
ans, he has the God-given right to nom
estly say so as a private citizen, buI
for my part l cannot think that, as a
minister of the gospel, he Is confining
himself to his legitimate business when
he casts aside the dignity and sanctity
of the pulpit to deliver himself of a
political discourse so partisan in its
nature as to place him below the level
of the paid campaigner of the gold
party. If Mr.. Thompson is honest in
his desire to assist in educating the
people down to his way of thinking on
the financial question, there is an honest
way of going about it, but he cannot
gain converts by making wild assertions
that will not bear of argument. For
instance, he is reported in the Times rs
having said that three words can ex-
press the state Of affairs that would
be the inevitable result of the free coin
age of silver: Disaster, dishonesty,
and dishonor." Such an assertion is
absurd. If it were made by Republi-
can stump speaker it could be excused,
but coming from Christian minister
of the gospel of God it cannot be over
looked. II this is Mr.. Thompson's honest
opinion of the question of free coinage,
then we ask God to forgive him his
misunderstanding of the issue. -t'
If MI. thompson Is right then all
christendom is wrong, for all people, re-
gardless of political parties have re
peatedly declared through party plat
forms that we must have free coinage
of silver with gold, otherwise the bus
mess world is lost. If space would per-
NIT we could quote the greatest states
men and economic writer's of the world
Numerically opposed to any policy talk
ing from silver it's legitimate functions
as legal tender money. Alexander
Hamilton, Lincoln, Jefferson, Grant,
Garfield, Blaine and dozens of other
patriots whose names are familiar to
every American, all favored the free
coinage Of silver and gold. Aye. even

A Republican Predicts

The following is taken from letter
written by one of the most prominent
citizens Of New Whatcom, WASH, to
a friend in this city, and shows the SEN
timent Of the people in that sections:
Now you wish to know If still stick

stick to the old party, but not to the
new Republican party, as exemplified
at the ST. Louis convention.
