WILL 1T BE CIVIL WAR?

b A reference in Equity Of Aug. has
created considerable STIR The article has
been quoted by some of our exchanges, and
various requests have been made for It's
explanation and verification. This Is our
present purpose.
On July g. the Germantown Telegraph"
a Republican agricultural newspaper, of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, published an
editorial article. which contained the fol-
lowing paragraph: Were there any prob
ability of anarchistic success in November
4 the president should at once call congress
in extra session and quadruple the regular
army. In the triumph of communism and
its wild theories Of government the regular
military forces of the government would
be the principal agent to put down rioting
and disorder, and preserve our liberties.
There is little danger that any such ne
cessity will arise 1t is only remote con-
tingency, but 1t is worth remembering that
the Democratic party now comprises all
the foes of law and order, all the enemies
of good government. ana has defined free
dom as meaning anarchy and the possess
sion of capital as crime.T
If this is not distiHct threat of civil
war in case of Bryan selection, what is it?
1t is that or it is meahingiess twaddie If
this or any other refotn paper resorted to
threats Of armed inteeposttion between
popular majority. and the enactment of the
popular will into law. hSw long would it be
before the mailed ha4dtof plutocratic law
would suppress furthers reasonable utter
ances? But it makes q great deal of differ
ence whether the reasonable suggestion
comes from the. orgap of plutocracy- now
in power, or from the organ of Populism,
that seeks to gain power.
The United States issyet a government by
majorities, In theory at least. So long as
such men as Cleveland, Harrison and Nc
Kinley, the servile tools of the money pow
er. can be elected by apparent popular ma
jorities and under constitutional forms, SO
long will we mud sillers'' submit; but II
we elect Bryan or any other man, now or
at any other. time. no threats no auadrup--
ling of the army will prevent his taking the
reigns Of government
Meantime let Bryan men everywhere take
notice that II we win the .plutocracy in
tends civil war. VIII We run or f7ght?-

THOSE MEXICAN DOLLARS,
THEY ARE CHEAP COUNTER
FEITS.
Never Saw MeNicO-AnOthcr & old.
bug Rascality Exposed.

Driven to the wall for lack of substantial
argument, the gold bugs resort to all kinds
| of subterfuges, honorable and dishonorable
and are as often repulsed and made to shy
off onto something else. Everything they
spring proves boomerang. and they inva-
riably wish they hadn't done it,
Take their Mexican dollar object lesson
as sample. Not only did it fail to con-
tain any reasonable point in their favor
but they had to commit a crime to per-
petrate it, as is shown by the following
| news item sent out from Springfield Ohio,
a few days ago:
"Moras Huamay, an influential Mexican,
connected with one of the largest CONNER
cial houses in the City of Mexico. visited
the city for a few hours on Thursday last,
on business, and while here showed
prominent manufacturer a letter received
by him the day previous from the drec-
tor of mints of the republic of Mexico.
The letter. as translated by Mr.. Huamay,
was to the following effect:
II thank you for the two specimens of
so-called Mexican silver dollars which you
state are being put in general circulation
in the United States. You are right in
believing that the dies for the coins have
been recently changed if the specimens you
send me are genuine. Without hesitation
pronounce them counterfeits, and differ
ing from the silver dollars coined by the
Mexican government in many particulars.
The genuine coin has 100 mill marks upon
the edge, while the specimens you submit
have but 150 That may appear a tedious
way of detecting the spurious from the
genuine dollar, but it Is unfaing. The
execution and position of the eagle upon
the face of the spurious also differs from
the genuine. Our government is now en-
gagged in determining where and by whom
those counterfcits were issued
Mr.. Huamay stated that the machinery
for the production of these spurious Mex
ican dollars, it was now known, was pro-
cured in England, and that the counter
feits reached the United States by vessel
and landed in Florida They were then
purchased by the political managers, who
are using them for campaign purposes. He
states that Mexico needs all the genuine
silver dollars she has for home circulation,
and that the people of that country are
satisfied and would not change their COIN
age to suit England or any other nation.
The counterfeiting Of the Mexican silver
dollar is now the subject of international
inquiry, Mr.. Huamay says.
