A New Brand Of Patriots.

The Hon. W. Coin Harvey Of Chicago
and elsewhere has formed new secret
order which he calls the Patriots Of
America. The particular kind Of pa
triotism which the Honorable Tenn
porary Grand Patriot Harvey" proposes
to teach is hatred Of property rights,
greed for the wealth honestly accumu-
lated by men Of ability and industry,
disregard Of tho teachings Of history
and devotion to the selfish interests Of o
few silver bullion owners.
Along with these grand and glorious
principles there will so finely en-
graved certificate Of membership in
the noble army Of l6 to patriots
and an annual assessment for the good
of those most concerned Together with
the Secret Society Of Silver Knights
and the Cory Gang Of Goldbug Squash
ers these bogus patriots should cause
the tyrants Of Wall street to tremble in
their guilty shoes Great is the power
Of humbug and greater still the cheek
Of the men who claim that they are pa
triots because they shout for q currency
scheme which means national dishonor.

Safety Only In Sound Money.

"The Democrats" says Mr.. Harrity.
cannot temporize with question Of
tho finances They must declare for
sound money, and there is not the slight
est doubt that their plank in the nation
al platform will be sound and explicit. !"
They must declare, as did the last na-
tional convention, that 1.-THE dollar unit
Of both metals must be Of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value" That covers
the question. 1t is the Democratic posi-
tion. In every national election since
1872 the Democrats have won on q
sound money platform. They have lost
when compromising with fiat money or
the silver dollar. In the name Of ev-
erything that is sane and honest and
politic," asks the New York World,
"how can the Democratic party now do
anything except make its platform clear
and explicit for sound money!" With a
silver plank pledging the party to free
coinage. or, what would be more detest-
able, an evasive platform, read one way
in one section and another way in an
other, no matter who was nominated,
overwhelming defeat would be certain
and sure, and It would be defeat with
little hope Of resurrection as 1t would
involve lasting division of tho party.

THE IRON DUKE.
Wellington and His Ways Is Soon BY Two

making an appointment with duke or
q lord, first that he was engaged, and
after waiting for hours that he regretted
not then being able to see Mr.. Leslie,
but would be at his service OH the fol.
lowing day. The Iron Duke was an ex-
ception, and the day after he received a
note from my father saw awhile hair.
ed elderly gentleman walk up the short
gravel path and steep steps of our little
villa, and shading his eyes from the
sun take rapid survey Of the front gar
den as he stood on the steps, and how,
when small maidservant answered his
knock and question, us this Mr.. Les
lie?" with Eyes, sir. What name,

voice, "The Dock of Wellington, near

and not only brought my father, pale e
and brushes in hand, to her rescue, t''t

of the adjoining villa.
Then, before going indoors, he in
formed my father and all the neighbors
in the same loud tone that the distance
between Apslcy House and ours was
Five miles," repeating it more than
once, and when my father venturcd to
say, II think not quite so much, your
grace" he closed the argument thus
"Oh, yes, 1t must be. I'm q good judge
Of distance, and consider it certainly
over five miles" The duke had come
on horseback, and was much pleased
when told hat my father would wait
upon him for a sitting at Apsley House,
but on doing so he was received by the
duke with, "Well, Mr.. Leslie, didn't
you find 1t long way-over five miles,
I am surc?''
A few days later my father CHANGED
to mention this to Sir Edwin Landseer,
who knew more OF the duke than he
did. Sir Edwin said: ''It is no use to

some engravings Of my own pictures with
which he was having room papered,
and ventured to suggest that, MS many

HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.
Why Preaidsas Hayes In 1878 Vetoed the
BtsndArd Silver DollsR Coinage Act.


BtandArd Silver Dollar Coinage Act
President Hayes believed that our mo-
t1onal honor could not be too jealousy
guarded. In this he differed radically
from our 10 to 1 statesmen, who are
anxious not only to SEQ our government
repudiate one-haH Of its debts, but to
see one-halt Of NIL debts rrpudiated. It
might DO well for these hasty statesmen
to ponder some Of Hayes reasons for
vetoing tho net {pnssed over his head)
to coin and make legal tender silver del
lars worth, liz gold, only 90 or 80 cents
He said that 1.-THE right to pay duties in
silver or In silver certificates for silvcr
depoaits win. when thoy are Issued in
sufficient amount to circulate, put an
end TO the receipt of revenue III gold,
and thus compel tho payment Ct silver
for both the principal aud interest Of tho
public debt
He said that nearly 5000, 600, 900 Of
the funded debt then outstanding was
issued since 1878. when gold alone was
the coin for which the bonds were sold,
and gold alone was the coin In which
both parties to the contract understood
that the bonds would be paid" "These
bonds" he continues, entered into the
markets of the world. They were paid
for in gold when silver had greatly de-
preciated aud when no one would have
bought them II it had been understood
that they would be paid in silver"
No believed that. In the judgment Of
mankind, It wonld DO an nct Of bad faith
not to guarantee that pre-exiating debts
should be paid IN as good money rs YVES
legal tender when these debts were con-
tracted-in other words. that the govern
ment should not lcgalize the breaking Of
contracts. 1.-The standard Of value" he
said, should not be changed without
the consent Of both parties to the con-
tract. National promises should be kept
with unflinching fidelity. There is no
power to compel q nation to pay Its
debts. Its credit depends on its honor.
The nation owes what it has led or al
lowed it's creditors to expect? l cannot
approve a bill which in my judgment
authorizes the violation Of sacred obi
cations The obligation of the public
faith transcends all questions Of profit
or public advantage. Its unquestionable
maintenance is the dictate as we'll Of the
highest e1pediency as Of the most ncces-
saxy duty and should ever be carefully
guarded by the executive, BY congress
and by the people,
He closed his message by saying that
lit is my firm conviction that if the
country is to DO benefited by silver
coinage 1t can be done only by the issue
Of silver dollars Of full value, which
will defraud no man. A currency worth
Less than 1t purports to be worth will in
the end defraud not only creditors, bu.
all who are engaged in legitimate bust
ness, and none moro surely than those
who are dependent ON their daily labo,

An Ecouom,c.l entertainer.

A certain thrifty Philadelphia house
wife used to boast that she was able o
make one jar Of brandy peaches ser:e
for several tea parties. The secret Of it
was that she canned the peaches when
they were green and only partially cook
ed them. In consequence they were al
ways hard, SO that when an unwary
guest attempted to cut one with spoon
it generally flew off on to the floor.
After the company had departed they
were gathered up, washed and returned
to the brandy strip, where they remained
until required for the next party.-New

AFRAID or THE FUTURE.

Business RnIalysed by Froe Coinage AEi'
The Wooden and Willow Ware Trade
Review Of April 10 offers the following
explanation for the cause Of the present
unsatisfactory business conditions:
All business is done by the medium
Of the existing measure Ct value. If
there arc any doubts about the future OF
that measure, commerce gradually up
proaches standstilL. When the Sher.
man silver law was repealed, confidence
In the future began to return, and it
was expected that steps would be taken
to remedy the evils Of the currency sys-
tenn under which the business Of the
country has been operating. Stimulated
by this view, some business men launch
ed new enterprises and started up old
ones. There was an appearance CT a re-
vival III business yecr ago
When, however. it was found that
there was small band Of men, whose
whole future was based upon securing
the free coinage Of silver by the United
States minis, in position to block ev-
cry move made to insure the continu-
ance Of honest money in this country,
commercial people became nervous
again. They commenced to prepare fcr
financial trouble, which they thought
might come. This preparation involved
the withdrawal Of loans, the curtail-
ment Of manufacturing, the abandon
ment Of new projects and the gathering
Of reserves. Thus manufacturing and
trading have for some months been sui.
fering from gradual paralysis.
These conditions should convince ev-
cry business man Of the paramount i'm
portance Of having the so called currency
question settled. Just now ono Of the
most profitable things business mar
can do is to use his influence and spare
time in working toward currency re-
form and impressing upon the politi
clans the fact that the business in
terests of the country require sount
money. Our national politicians who
arc now setting up the pins for (
presidential election should take warn
ing. No candidate who is not in favor
Of tho gold standard ought to b
elected president this year. Effort
should be made to prevent any man no
sincerely and earnestly in favor Of i
from being candidate upon either tn
Democratic or Republican ticket
