We believe that all money demands
should be payable In the lawful money
of the United States without preference
or discrimination, and therefore favor
the passage by the General Assembly of
law to prohibit the taking or giving
of gold notes, bonds and mortgages in
this State, and the making of all mon
ey demands solvable in any kind of
lawful money of the United States.

Gold People Alarmed,

A Washington correspondent OF the
Chicago Inter-Ocean says the New
York bankers have had their agents
travelling through the west and south
for tile past six months trying to
stem the silver tide" but without
avail. The correspondent quotes one
of these agents as saying that the
bankers have reached the conclusion
that it would not be safe to press a
gold platform at st. Louis, and are
now considering how much conces-
sion they must make to the silver
sentiment of the country. They think
they are bound to depend on the re,
publican party for sound" curren'
cy, a protective tariff, and believe
that to force gold platform this yeal
would jeopardize the success of that
party. This bankers agent says
1--WE have discovered that gold is not
popular with the masses anywhere
and that they are almost as preJu
diced against single gold standard
in New England as in the west, " and
that the gold men are in the minority
of both parties everywhere outside
New York state, and possibly Massa
chusetts. The gold standard mag
mates have evidently found out that
it is one thing to win over the big
newspapers to their views, but quite
another to win over the great body
of the plain common people. ~-Des

official Paper of County.

There are still many otherwise in
telligent persons who read only re-
publican papers, who really believe
the debt of the United States, and
especially the recently made debt,
is payable in gold, when the truth is,
not one dollar of its debt but may be
paid in silver. President Cleveland
asked congress to authorize the issue
of bonds payable in gold, but the
measure was overwhelmingly defeat
ed. Hence the parties purchasing
those bonds were fully aware that
they could be paid in silver, and that
they could not rightfully and legally
demand payment in anything but
silver coin. There is law authoriz-
ing gold contracts between individu-
ais, but there is no law authorizing
the President and Secretary of the
treasury to make such contract, and
no such obligation of the government
has ever been made, from the founda-
ton of the government to the present
time. The purchase of gold under
the pretense that any portion of the
debt of the United States is payable
in gold is a fraud upon the people,
and in the sole interest of coterie
of gamblers in gold. The fraud was
established by John Sherman, foster
ed by Foster and protected by Cleve-
land and Carlisle. If there is any
law on the statute book requiring q
treasury reserve of $100,000,00 it
may as we'll under the laws be silver
as gold, but there is now no law for
either. 1t is simply a matter that
was established by John Sherman
when secretary of the treasury which
has been blindly followed by his sue
cessors. We also find men who sup
pose silver is maintained at par with
gold not from its legal tender con-
ferred by law, but because silver and
silver certificates are redeemable on
demand in gold. This idea is also
founded in error, The silver certif-
Gates are redeemable in silver alone,
the silver dollar is lawful money and
is not redeemable in an other money.
1t is needless to say these who enter
tain these false ideas read only re.
publican papers. 1t is the blind,
leading the blind.

The Coronation at st. Louis To-Day.

The irrepressible Tom Watson of
the Peoples Party Paper remarks
thusly:
The same judges who decided that
the income tax was unconstitutional,
have decided that the sugar bounty
is constitutional.
The levy of the income tax was an
attempt to raise revenue for the bene-
fit of the government The constitu-
ton says this may be done. The SUI
gar bounty was a gift made from the
public treasury to a few private indi-
viduals. The constitution says this
may not be done.
| The U. S. Supreme Court, however,
solemnly adjudicates that the gov.
eminent must not tax the rich to
raise public revenues, but may offer
a reward out of the public funds to
the millionaire planters who make
sugar.
That settles it. When the federal
courts speak, common sense must
hide out.
If it is right for the government to
offer rewards to the sugar planters
for raising sugar, it would be right to
offer rewards to the wheat raiser fol
raising wheat, and to the mule raise,
for raising mules, and the hog raiser
for cultivating pigs.
But the Supreme Court would
doubtless find some deep difference in
principle between the one case and
the other.
A short time ago, congress was kline
enough to enlarge the subtreasury
privileges which the government oil
lows to the Whisky Ring, by declar
ing that hereafter they could bottl,
up their Whistles and store them will
the government for five years. Aftel
that time they can remove the bottles
and get the BENEFIT of a "five-year
old" certificate attaching to sail
WHISTLES.
Very tender indeed is the yearninl
of this great and good government
toward the Whiskey Ring. 1t take
charge of their bug juice for them
guards it jealousy in official ware
houses for five years, and then give
them the benefit of government
guaranty of age and fineness.
This is not paternalism. NOTHING
done for the privileged classes i
paternalism.

Sen. Morgan and Cleveland.

In ability, culture, dignity of char
acter and department, Senator Nor
gan of Alabama approaches nearly
the traditional United States senator.
In most respects he is widely differ
ent from the fiery, volcanic Senator
Tillman of South Carolina. But
when he comes to speak of the presi-
dents attitude on the Cuban ques-
ton his criticism is lite less caustic
than that OF the South Carolinan. In
speaking on this subject recently, he
Is quoted as saying that he has reason
to believe that should congress pass
joint resolution recognizing the bel
ligerency of the Cubans the president
would not hold himself bound to obey
1t. This is said Notwithstanding the
fact that joint resolution of con-
gress has the same binding force as
an act of congress. He further ex-
pressed the belief that Mr.. Cleveland
has in view one of two policies-frst,
to wait till congress adjourns and
then provoke a quarrel with Spain,
calculating to ride in third term on
the war wave; or, second, defer all
action till next December, in order to
give General Weyler further oppor-
tunity to stamp the struggling insur-
gents to death. He says: 81 do not
believe that at heart the president
has the slightest sympathy for the
Cuban insurgents" and, II cannot
conceive of man, truly American,
who is willing to see q helpless human
being, one of his own household,
kicked to death by a brutal assailant.
Yet that is what President Cleveland
ls doing in the case of Cuba"
Perhaps, never before was a pres
ident thus mercilessly criticised by a
dignified, respectable senator of his
own party. On the other hand, pei
haps, no other president has exhibit
ed equal Indifference to the opinions
and wishes of congress and the PEG
pie. Whatever theory on the subject
Mr.. Cleveland may hold, in practice
he has in several instances proceeded
In h @rmony with the theory that the
people are not capable of self-govern
ment. With his slight hold on the
sympathy of the masses, it is difficult
to conceive of a war wave, or any
other kind of wave that would car
~ him into third term of the pres
idency.
