Eloquence for the Gold Bugs Congress
man Brosius Snsers and Rails at the
Populists and Silver Men and
"Mocks at Their Calamity"

Wall street never sent out an ADLER,
more Jealous and more eloquent advo-
cate Of the moneyed interests of the
east to abuse and hoodoo the agricui.
turists Of the west than it did when it
sent Congressman Brosius Of Pennsyl-
vania, who spoke in the opera house last
night, on his western tour. He ia the
personification Of an autocrat and an
a%ristocrat. Large, pompous, grandilo-
quent, a master of sarcasm, metaphor
and lidicule, he was arrogant, scathing,
~domineering, abusive as he listed, and
anon he would relax even to cajolery
and then become pathetic, patriotic,
scriptural, poetic, all by turns and with
intense dramatic effect.
And when some populist Portia inter-
posed: BE merciful; take thrice, but
bid me tear the bond," this Shylock re-
joined with his long refrain: "When it
is paid according to the tenour. X x =
I stay here on my bond. I'll have my
bond; l will not hear thee speak:
I'll have my bond and therefore speak
no more,
III not be made a soft and dull.eyed,
To shake the head, r~elent, and sigh
and yield to Christian intercessors.
Follow not. I'll have no speaking. 1
will have my bond"
Such a mai is Broslus ambrosial, who,
il We remember rightly, combed down
our doughty Major Picker on the foor
of congress for his much mounting. And
such a man on the platform last night
between two corporation attorneys, with
az old soldier TO take off the curse and
hold the handkerchief, we had au epit.
ONE of the gold republican party of
Lake county and the nation, as now con
stituted to stand in behalf Of the bond
syndicate and demand of the people the
last pound of flesh to pay the bond.
The leading points made by the
speaker were that free coinage OF silver
at q ratio Of 16 to | would reduce us to a
silver basis, and that would be "horri-
ble." We would have no gold. II 16 to
l, why not l to l? Imports would be
dearer and we would have to pay a pre-
MUM on gold to pay for them. To pay
debts on q silver basis would be repudia-
ton, stealing, ~contiscating our neigh
bors' property. We should be honest
and pay the last cent we owe. Dakota
was a drouth-stricken, wind-swept, bar.
ron country which we were trying to
offset By silver legislation. The demo.
cratic platform had an anarchy plank in
1t. Four years ago the democrats cried
free trade; now they cry silver. Protec.
ton through Mckinley was the only
remedy.
Such was the rodomontade of the dis.
tinguished gentleman. In reply to bis
statement that no nation ever adopted
bimetalism on other than a market ratio
but what it went to the cheaper money
We would say that no debter nation evel
adopted the gold standard that retained
its gold. This can be more clearly de-
monstrsted by the experience OF histor,
than his statement and the United
States 10 heavily q debtor nation. Or
the other hand many nations have
adopted the bimetallio standard and re-.
tanned both gold and silver 10 full lega

don't do it under the present system.
Why not make the ratio l to l? Be-
cause 16 to l is a little higher ratio than
the actual ratio Of production by weight,
and up to the characterization OF silver in
1878, had closely approxin. ated the coin
age ratio for hundreds OF years. Fur
Their, il it were true, as the gentleman
says, that they cannot be kept in circu-
lation at any ratio, and we must come to
a single metallic standard, the silver
mel say with Henry NJ. Teller, "We pre-
fer the silver standard" "Ah, but" our
eastern friend says, "you destroy the par
Of exchange; you will have to pay your
debts in gold, and to get it you will have
to pay a premium" Let it destroy the
par Of exchange; let us pay the premium
in cash; we will then know what the &C.
cursed stuff costs US. According to the
present system the farmer, the planter,
the miner and the laborer are paying all
the premium by having to give all their
products at half price for an appreciated
dollar. and the rest OF the country does
not know how they are being robbed.
Nay, more, what the honorable gentle
man eulogized as honesty on the part Of
the debtor paying every cent to the cred
itor, has been downright dishonesty and
robbery on the part of the creditor for
the past twenty years in exacting from
the debtor his principal and interest in
an appreciated gold dollar. Why was
the gentleman so immediately hon
orable that he would not discuss that
dishonest feature of the system when
his attention Was called to il? That Is
where the c~onfscating, stealing is beng
done about which he prated 50 much.
And as to his attack on the anarchy
plank OF the democratic party platform,
We can only cay If he will read the plat
form on which Abraham Lincoln was
elected he will find "a much stronger
states rights plank.

1t is currently reported that Capt. John
Lyon, Supervisor of Abbeville County. has
not faithfully discharged the duties OF his Of
flee in receiving the Wardlaw bridge when he
knows the structure was not fastened 10 the
mud-sill as required by the specifications.
The blatherSkites who are so assidiouSly
keeping up this vile slander against an ef-
fcient, high-toned, dignified and honorable
officer have presumed too freely upon the
Of the people of this county,
when they think them the mutton.heads to
swallow all the rot they are carrying around
to perfect q political contract they have made
with some other candidate.
The bridge in question has thoroughly In
spected by number OF citizens whose fair
ness and impartiality, whose judgment and
conservatism has never been assailed, and
whose standing in Abbeville county, justly
entities them 10 highest respect. Their
unanimous decision was, that the bridge met
all the requirements of the contract and that
the work manShip was first class.
The bridge spans Little River and Is on one
OF the most frequently travelled roads In the
county. II is therefore subject to public IN
SpectiOn, and those who have been made TO
believe the mud sill ialsehood can 20 see for
themselves, that the report Is founded upon a
lie pure and simple.
There is no man living who is more con-
ScIentiOus In the discharge OF his official
duties than the present Supervisor of ADbe-
vile county, and for such vile and SANDER
Gus reports to be circulated against him on
The eve of the election is only an evidence OF
the low and dirty work some heartleSs men
will stoop to do in order to inJurc IL faithful
officer. This article Is written without Capt
Lyons knowledge and no one Is responsible
for it save the undersigned.
We have no interest in the campaign foI
Supervisor, but if the people want a change
and Capt. Lyon doesn't longer suit them, we
insist that the fight be an honorable one, and
not stuped in infamy and lies originating
with men of no character. John a. Brown.

What does kindness do at home? 1t
makes the mether's lullaby sweeter
than the song of the lark, the care-la-
den brows of the father and the man
of business less severe in their expires
sion, and the children joyous without
being riotous. Abroad it assists the
fallen, encourages the virtuous, and
looks with charity on the unfornate.
What is prayer for? Not to inform
God, nor to move Him, unwillingly, to
have mercy, as if. like some proud
pride, He required certain amount
of reconition of His greatness as the
price of His favor but to fit our own
hearts by conscious need, and true de.
sire and dependence, to receive the gift
which He is ever willing to give, but
we are not always fit to receive it.
