The st. Cloud Times says: The death
of Right Rev. Bishop Marty, second bish-
On of the diocese of st. Cloud, the particu-
lars of which are told in our local col
umns, was great shock to this commu-
nifty, as his illness had not been an
nounced. Bishop Marty was Of a modest
and, retiring disposition. This, and his
many arduous duties, kept him from
mingling much with the general public.
He was well advised of what was trans
piring, however, in and about the city,
and was a loyal friend and earnest be-
lever in the great future OF st. Cloud.
Our people, regardless Of sect, deeply re-
sret his death.

TO WORKlNdnEN.

The editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine
has written the following in the New York
World, addressed to workingmen:
Does any fair minded workingInan feel
in doubt at this critical period? Then /
would ask him to come with me for min
ute and look down along the ranks of the
contending army. The opposition is a
mighty host. There are there sincere men
of his own class-sincere men of the farmer
c.ass-honorable and upright men OF the
noneyed class. But mingled with them,
vigilant, ever-active, directing the mar
shalled movements there are others. Let
him call the rolls Of the trusts or the rolls
OF those who have bought or sod leg:sla-
benefited. Let him call the rolls OF those
who have controlled financial legislation,
SO as to cause eleven great panics, during
which IS per cent. Of all the business men
of the country have fallen in bankruptcy.
Let him call the roll of those who would
have money issued by bankers instead OF by
the Government, the purpose being to oil
vert the interest paid by the people from
the national treasury to their own pockets.
Let him call the roll of these who have
fought labor unions with words and with
bullets. Let him call the roll Of those who
have hired Pinkerton police, in defiance OF
the laws of their country. Let him call the
roll of those monarchists who enjoy the
blessing Of republic while decrying it.
Let him call these names and to each name
will come the answer Here and each
time the answer will come from a man who
is a. leader in this one army. Which
army? l do not need to answer. Let the
workingman himself answer. And, in this
conflict, do workingmen stand shoulder to
shoulder where they belong?

There are 1876 trusts Of various kinds
in this country. The majority of them
sprang into existence during the
period when the Mckinley tariff
law was in operation. They have
a capital of $1,505, 100000. Each
trust has already been assessed for Re-
publican campaign purposes according to
the capital owned the amount realized
being $9,46o, 61o-nearly $4,000, ooo-asa
corruption fund. Every man, woman and
child in the land will contribute to this
fund, by being obliged to pay the advance
in price for every article of consumption
which will be imposed by the trusts to
recoup themselves for their outlay. This
is the Sound money patriotism. This
is the love of the gold bugs for the labor
ing man and American wages.

THE MONETARY TRUST.

In a. circular issued from the Office Of The

So, how does it happen that Germany as
sembled the Berlin Silver Commission in
1894? How, if it be true, does it come
about that England is today endeavoring
to ascertain the facts, and alleviate the mis-
cries due to agricultural depression? There
was a commission sitting in England re-
Gently, and while there were differences OF
opinion observable among it's members as
to the remedies to be applied, there is an
astonishing consensus Of sentiment as to
the fact that depression exists in cruel
form, and that it's cause is gold moaometal-
ism. Is The Monetary Trust ignorant OF
these facts, or is it guilty OF wilful m1srep-
resentation? There are no alternatives.

In some Of the towns the Democrats did
not vote at ALL The party was in the
worst shape it ever. assumed on entering
contest. It was torn into factions; it
lacked organization; it had no money.
Against it was pitted a united party with
Reed, Dingley Milliken, Frye and Man
ley at the head, and with unlimited funds
at their disposal. Some of the rich Dem
ocratic lumbermen, bankers and ice
kings went over openly to the Repub-
lican camp. The Democratic national
committee did nothing to help the dis
tracted leaders. It, gave up the fight in
advance. 49,.
Maine has followed Vermont What
does this indicate? It indicates simply
that the sentiment Of the East is strongly
if not overwhelmingly in favor of sim
gle gold standard of money. Arkansas
and Alabama gave largely increased ma
jorities the other way. Florida and Geor-
gia will follow suit early in October.
What does that mean? 1t simply means
that the Southern states are well-nigh
solid for free silver or bimetallisn.
What, then, will be the effect OF the
Maine "avalanche?" WEI it induce any
free silver candidate in the West or
South to abandon his position? No In
deed, we are apprehensive that it will
strengthen rather than weaken the sec
tional feeling which is abroad in this
campaign.
In the middle Western states, where
the real battle Is to be fought, the DEM
ocrats who have declared for gold mono
metallism VIII vote largely for McNin-
ley. The Palmer movement is only a
blind. The ticket will show no strength.
1t was not nominated to be voted for. 1t
simply supplies cover under which
Democrats can bolt without being de-
tected. The purpose of those who con-
trolled the indianapolis convention was
to give Illinois and Kentucky to McKin-
ley and to affect the result in Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota. Agents of the
indianapolis party went into Maine and
advised Democrats who were in sympa-
thy with the movement to swell the Re-
publican vote for the moral effect which
it would have upon the midwest states,
And that is chiefly why the avalanche"
was so big and so great.
Mr.. Manley, who Joined hands with
Hanna at st. Louis and threw Reed over
board, managed the campaign. He Sc
cured from Hanna huge corruption
fund, which was used as such funds are
always used in Maine. Unlimited money
for public meetings, for canvassers, for
literature and for all other purposes was
poured into the committees Golfers. The
result has been what Democratic nation
al managers long ago conceded, an over
whelming Republican majority, or rath-
err an Overwhelming majority for the
gold standard.

O'CONNELL'S SPEECH.

In discussing taxation and currency,
Daniel Q'Connell said in parliament:
"There is such a place as Ireland;
agricultural distress Is as great,
if not greater IN that coun-
try than in England. They have been
during the debate wholly forgotten. The
remedy proposed by the noble Lord, relief
of taxation, is only like clipping or pairing
the thorn in the field. One remedy-the
only sure remedy-has been passed over
namely, one that would have the effect OF
mitigating the horrors Of the Gold Cur
rency Bill. If no one else will, will put
in my claim for that scheme, which is bet
ter than all other schemes I have heard
this night proposed"
Again on July 1, 1885, Daniel O'Connell
said. in speaking on proposition of Mr..
Canley for return to silver coinage:
IA more destructive bill-a more iniqui-
tous bill-than that of 1919, has never been
introduced. There never has been bill
more fatal to this country or so fatal to
Ireland. There is no pressing necessity
for that measure. It appears to me to have
been concocted in insanity, and for no other
purpose than to make mighty experiment
On the power of human suffering to see
what weight it would bear. remember
persons having valuable interests in land
leased to others who had also interests, and
all were swept from the face Of the land
by the effect of that bill as by plague or
pestilence. The monied interest has a
strong motive for upholding the present
system"
