The fight between the gold and silye,
factions of the Massachusetts is on In
DEAD earnest. George Fred Williams,
who has constituted himself leader O
uhe silver forces, is out in an address
accusing the State committee of tryins
TO defeat the silver cause, and appealing
TO the silverites to take off their coat
and labor for the election of silver dele
gates to the State convention. To thu
address of Mr.. Williams Mr.. Moran, O.
the state committee, replies and handle.
the Hon. George Frad without gloves.
MIR. Moran ACCUSES Mr.. Williams of be
traying the Massachusetts, Democracy at
Chicago, and says that if in his capacity
of lawyer he had been guilty of such q
| breach of trust he would have been dis.
barred. He further alleges that Mr..
Williams has either teen false to his owl
convictions, inasmuch as for years he
had opposed the free silver movement,
to crafty his personal vanity, or hat
been guilty of talking for six years upon
subject Of which he was grossly igno.
rant, and which he was able to master in
u few short weeks.
Here are some of Mr.. Moran's vigorous
paragraphs:
The unthinking may praise you, but
the honest thought of ali honorable men
will condemn you. For doing a similar
act ID the legal profession you would be

not doing that which they had no au-
thofity to do, and which they were
bound in honor not to do. The State
COMMITTEE were appointed for specific
purposes and were never given authority
TO either indorse or criticise national can
dldates OF national platforms. When ap-
pointed those who appointed them op-
posed in convention free silver

orable to do this is to their credit.

the state convention was the only honor
able course for them to pursue.
This couree has given the Democracy
CT Massachusetts the choice of determin-
ing in convention whether they will ad-
here to the sound principles of true De-
mocfaoy and nominate candidates for
Governor and delegates to the electoral
college who will stand on the platform of
Massachusetts Democracy in favor of
sound money or follow in the footsteps
of discredited self-constitutcd leader,
discard the principles of jefferson and
Joskon and adopt the political doctrines
of such populistio and aocialistic leaders
as PETER, Tilinan and Altgeld.

some from other motives. The latter

All the current talk about ''plutocrats
and Unsuitable greed" and conspiracy
of capitalists is but n repetition Of
the talk which we used to hear for three
or four years preceding the resum ption of
specie payment in 1879. The great "crilne
Of 1879 had not then been discovered
and the complaint was that the pluto
Gratis were oonspiring together to con-
tract the currency and thus squeeze the
poor nan. The green back dollar had
been app-eciating on account of the firm
establishment Of the governments credit
and it's promise to redeem it in coin on
q certain date, and the cry went up that
debts contracted when the greenback WAS
at a large discount had appreciated along
with it and that therefore the debtor
GLASS; was being Disseminated against
The dollar would buy more than when it
was deprecated in the midst of the war
and this furnished a ground for the COM
plant on the part of the farmer, which
the Hon. Scion Chase pioturesQ uely ex-
pressed in the phrase too much hog in
the DOLLAR The Greenbackers made
out a much more meritorious case than
the silver men do at the present day.
That ther had been depreciation of the
greenback and q subsequent appreciation
did nor admit of a doubt; that this de.
probation and appreciation had taken
place within so short q period that exist
ing debts had been effected by it did moi
admit of doubt either; that the value
Of property as measured by dollars had
shrunk rapidly was patent to everybody
People could claim with some sort of
Eeason that as the government had forced
upon them deprecated currency it was
bound to make good the losses that had
resulted from it, and they could also say
they we're the sufferers. But proof is
lacking that the act of 1873 worked any
injustice to nybody. Because prices
have gone down the silver men have as
sumod that that act increased the value
of the gold dollar and so worked an IN
justice to dabtors, but this reduction of
prices can be explained much more reas.
onably on the hypothesis of increased
production andsthe development of labor
saving inventions than by the apprecia-
ton of gold. Furthermore, even If the
appreciation of gold be gran ted the great
majority of present debtors did not suffer
from it, because the most of existing
debts were contracted long after the act
OF 1873 The people that will be helped
by a cheap dollar now are people who
have no claim for help no matter what
the effect of the law Of 1873, since the
dollarsthey borrowed was the same dollar
that now exists.

Tom Watson runs newspaper and here
is what he ssiu in it of Bryan before the
Populist convention had nominated him
for President:
Dressing Billy Bryan up in Populist
raiment makes Billy an attractive figure
to our adniFing gaze; but, as long as he

an ancient anecdote, we love you, Billy,
but d-n your company.

Il. The first question is entirely su-
perfiuous. Nobody ever claimed that the
President or the Secretary of the Troasu-
~ had authority to borrow money on
the credit of the United States without
permission from Congress.
2. 1t was not because the Presidents
authority to borrow money under the re-
sumption act was questionable that
he was inclined to apply
to Congress for a new act. 1t was
simply because if WAS believed that un-
der new act with different conditions
the money might be obtained on more
favorable terms.
8. An authorization to purchase coin
is an authorization to purchase gold.
Gold is one form of coin. If the author
| ization to purchase coin did not
authorize the President to purchase
gold it did not authorize
him to purchase silver. The au-
thorization of 1875 was not functus
officio. The act provided that en- and after
Jan. /, 1879, the Secretary of the Treasu-
~ should redeem treasury notes, and the
means provided for the commencement
of this process was intended to be avail
able, If need be during its continuance.
1t is absurd to suppose that that part of
the law which provided means for re-
sumption was to expire January /, 1879
Resumption was a continuing act, and
Congress undoubtedly intended that the
means to continue it should continue
also. The silver purchasing act Of 1890 de-
clared IL to be the purpose of the govern
Inent to maintain the parity of the two
metals. and it was undoubtedly to keep
good this declaration-to maintain the
good faith of the government-that the
President paid the notes given for the
purchase of silver bullion in gold.
d. 1t is not true that the American
people are disposed to hold the President
guilty of causing the "distrust, panic
and shrinkage of values ETC., etc., be-
cause of his financial policy. The Popu-
lists and some Democrats do, but they
do not constitute the American people.
A large part of the American people, in
Guiding the great majority of business
men. are deeply grateful to the President
for preventing the contamination OF
what they believed to be wild and reck
less schemes on the part of the silver
men. which would have resulted in de-
stroying the public credit aud pl ecipitat-
ing far worse commercial disaster than
the country has experienced. The sill
yer men can never forgive the President
for blocking their crazy scheme. The
claim that the President was trying to
drive the country to gold moncmetalism
sounds we'll coming from silver men,

What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The political agitation that is
just now beginning to attract the
attention OF the people will serve
in measure to take their atten-
ton from the coroding cares Of
every day life.
The republicans seem to have the
first inning, to be followed by the
democrats and populists. The poll
ticians seem to have plenty of
trouble on their hands; the people
can afford to be calm and reserve.
The prospect of a pie counter
causes the republicans to be more
than usually alert, and all over the
state the so-called regular organi-
zation has developed any amount
of contest, while the "Lilies" are
holding their forces in reserve.
In this congressional district, it 1
was hoped by everyone solicitious
for future harmony, that there
would be no split, but the prospect
now is that there will be contest
ing delegation at st. Louis from
the Twelfth district.
This city and county has large,
Intelligent, patriotic body Of voters,
who have become completely dis
gusted with the political methods
that have heretofore controlled To-
cal politics. The best men long
for a return to som, method of
action that will rid us OF the cor
rupt ring rule.
When party action IS confined to
mob meetings held in this city,
controlled by the money and pat
ronage of our local Office holders
when tickets are dictated, and the
machinery of the elections Is con.
trolled by an office holders trust, 1t
is high time that an end was put
to It.
Pure party action-distinct
party tickets-would be great i'm
provement over the present con-
dition of things.
Our first POLITICAL gathering will
be Of a national character, and nec-
essarily partisan, but it is appar-
emit now that these gatherings will
be largely dominated over by the
"non-partisan" tricksters.
The people have great interest
at stake; we mean the people who
pay taxes to support our social
structure, the people who believe
in American institutions the peo-
pie who value the suffrage, the
people who have ideas and under
stand the issues of the day.
1t remains to be seen il the |
tricksters will master the people
this year. 1t only needs that the
good men of old San Antonio and
Bexar county come together be-
fore they get to the ballot box, to
settle the trouble.
San Antonio is full of young
Americans, bright, smart, self-re-
liant men let them take hand
let meetings be held in each pre-
cinct in the county to elect dele
gates; shut out the paid mobs.
The mass meetings is popular
method of securing public atten.
ton, but all political parties
have found them to be destructive
of conservative action, and pro-
ductive of violence and disgraceful
scenes.
Legislation has been resorted
to in the shape OF primary cleo
ton law to arrive at the dispas-
sionate opinion of the people in
holding conventions. This law
works we'll in other states, but re-
,quires well organized parties to
make it successful.
Here we have no we'll organized
CONSTANT political party unless
we except the populists. The re-
do 70 |
