Can't Carry Water on Both
Shoulders.

Men cannot "carry water on both
shoulders, nor ride in contrary di-
rections at the same time-yet
many distinguished men are trying
lawfully" hard to accomplish the
impossible feat.
There is Mr.. Carlisle who in
1878 declared, "according to my
views of the subject the conspiracy
which seems to have been formed
here and in Europe to destroy, by
legislation and otherwise, from
three-sevenths to on s-half of the
metallic money of the world is the
most gigantic crime of this or any
other age.
"The contamination of such a
scheme would ultimately entail
more misery upon the human race
than all the wars, pestilences and
famines that ever occurred in the
history of the world. The abso-
Lutte and instantaneous destruction
of half the entire movable prop
erty of the world, including houses
ships, railroads and all other APP
rJtiances for carrying on commerce,
while it would be felt more sensi-
bly, at the moment, would not pro-
duce anything like the prolonged
distress and disorganization of So
ciety that must inevitably result
from the permanent humiliation
of half the metallic money of the
world"
The "half of the metallic money
in the world" has been practically,
permanently annihilated largely
through his instrumentality, and
that of his chief and those who
act with them-Mr. Whitney, Mr.
Cochran Ell id genus oneno. The
resultant prolonged distress and
disorganization" they predicted is
already affecting mankind.
Mr.. Mckinley, though san inno-
cent, unsophisticated young and
green country lawyer, knew enough
to foresee the evils of the gold
monemetalism, and voted in Cong
ress for the free coinage of silver
and its restoration to its full legal
tender condition. Now he has
joined tho prophets of Bael in adj
Grafton of the golden calf. Sena-
tor Thurston, who has declared
that he was originally opposed to
the decentralization of silver; that
he is "a profound believer in the
use of both gold and silver as mon
ey. 1 advocated the restoration of
free coinage before any of those
who are now the self-selected cham
pions of silver in Nebraska had
even opened their lips on the sub
ject.
every debtor must work harder
or sell more property to meet his
obligations than he otherwise
would.
"At such times, too, the million
aire gamblers on Wall Street can
so corner all the cash in sight as
to jeopardize the credit of every
body else" Now the Learned
Judge" says thou who advocate
that same doctrine and favor the
reconciliation of silver are repudi-
ators and anarchists, while he is
doing all he can to further the in
terests and schemes of the gold
gamblers of Wall Street by the
election of Mr. Mckinley. But
time and space will not permit us
to speak of those lesser lights of
the golden standard, such as Elk
ms, Hart, Foraker and the "politi-
cal writer" of the Gazette, who have
denied the faith once delivered by
Hamilton, Washington, Madison,
jefferson, Jackson, Benton, Lin
coin, Chase, Garfield and Blaine.
Not content with bearing false
witness themselves, they rake the
graves of tho noble dead, distort
and garble their speech to bolster
the cause of the gold gamblers of
the world againsta suffering world.
