SILVER AND THE MINERS.

mouth from what they did in 1874 and
for years previous, and therefore are
not entitled to much respect. For
whether they were hypOcrites or mis-
taken then, or knaVes or mistaken
now, is not necessary for US to deter
mine. In either event they are un-
worthy of notice, except as they 60
about brszen.fscedly deCeiVing the
people who don't call to mind their
record. To their arguments, l simply
read them their platforms Of 1892 and
1894, and say, "Thst's my answer;
now attack and refute them If you
want TO-"
One, and a formidable, argument OF
Wall street and the money barOns, as
they suppose, Is, that the silVerites
want so cents worth Of silver turned
into @ dollar by the action of govern
ment. Well, suppose they do. For
almost a century of our existence the
nation did that converted the same
amount Of bullion now represented by
so cents into dollar, and no one OBJ
ieCted; all went we'll and the nation
prospered. But q change came over
the spirit of our dreams. Silver was
stricken down and the government has
since disCOuntensnced and discouraged
It In every way possible, and behold
the consequences in q. people driven al
most to revolution. How shocked the
plutOerscy are at the idea of Turning 80
cents worth Of silver back to a dollar.
They had no such compunction In '7S
about turning a dollars worth of silver
down to so cents, with a like redue-
tion of everything else, since wheat
and general products follow silver as
their thermometer Of prices. And this
has entailed loss to the farmers of
the country of 1000 millions Of dollars
annually for twenty years past. And
now, If. so cents worth of silver should
be converted into q dollar for the
miner, 1t wouldn't be the FIRST time the
government has eXerted its fat to that
effect. Do you remember the millions
of bonds sold by the government, about
the end of the war, at from 40 to 60
cents on the dollar In gold, and
how, after Rothschild and others got
safely loaded up with them, they Sc
cured the passage Of an act Of Con-
gress legislRting these bonds up to 100
cents on the dollarP They have since
been paid at 129 cents by the toilers of
the land. The act put over 600 million
dollars into the pockets Of the holders
Of the bonds, without any considers.
tion whatever; and that, with other
similar legislation, is what's the matter
with the times now. The American
people are sweating and suffering and
tolling to fulfill the obligations entered
into by our recreant and unfaithful
government servants with British and
German money barons, who hold q
whip over us all and through John
Sherman & Co. command our obedi-
ence to their behests. For this Is what
Sherman and Cleveland mean by their
constant prating Of the government
credit and the holy devotion due to it.,
They would sacrifice the government
as they have sacrificed the people to
their deity. Just so poor Egypt and

States of the Old World never Dor
rowed money at such q discount as
did we. The benefit Of this sWsg went
to the bondholders and other inRuen'
tial dignitsriss, and therefore is
scarcely ever mentioned. But the
proposition to put the miners back to
where they were previous to 1873 is a
horse of another color, and the benefit,
| If any, will accrue TO the toiler and ex-
ploiter of labor instead Of the drOnes.
But what substantial gain, above
other VOcstiong, would accrue to
the miner who can now buy a
bushel of wheat land so Of other
things) with 80 cents worth of bullion,
but after everything is doubled in
price (ss the argument assumes) can
only obtain like quantity with the
same amount Of bullion or of coin ?
And of the farmer and producer,
whatP Now he only gets 40 or 80 cents
for his wheRt-jIst about cost. But
with an ample currency he Is well paid
and goes In to produce large crops and
employs hands and help to that end.
And this starts every other industry,
sets the factory and the furnace In mo-
tion and bresthes new life into the
town. The farmer who in 1887 took q
four. horse load of wheat to market and
sold it for over 800, and after paying
his taxes and interest, spent $40 for
merchandise and went home with
money in his pocket, twenty years
after took similar load there and got
only $50 for it, which didn't pay the
interest and taxes, and went home
without his sugar and coffee or any
thing for his family and without q
silver In his pocket. That is the diff
ference between good and bad times.
And yet Statesman Blue, seating his
words and swallowing his speeches of
two years since, tells the people they
are better off In these times than ever
before, since they can buy more (Of the
farmers produce) than they can If the
reconciliation Of silver raised prices,
etc. In other words, hard times and
low prices are blessing and should be
continued. Out on such statesman
ship and such a doctrinel And does
he suppose the people swallow such
stuffP ESQ, he is fOollng himself and
not the people. For they are In the
dumps now on account of the times
and are praying for q change and a re-
Verssl Of the government policy. Blue
would answer them, spray for harder
times; pray for harder times and
lower prices they are better for you,
can't you seeP" And In pursuance Of
this, the Republican platform promises q
continuance of these times and present
prices. But the people demand pros
perity, paying prices and plenty Of
work, and to that end q return to the
policy Of '7S and restoration Of silver
to It's old place as money metal equal
with gold.
Again, Blue asks, what good would
more money do the peopleP Why, the
more there is, the better the chance to
get q little, Of course. But you must
have something to sell, says he. Well,
haven't we something to sell tlOng cribs

Extensive preparations are now going on
for the State Convention of the Patriotic
Order of True Americans, which will be held
in Shamokin, beginning ON the third Tuesday
in July and continuing for three days.
Every camp in the state is expected to be
represented and the convention promises to
be the largest in the orders history. In
Pennsylvania there are at present 81 camps
and as each elect not less than two and three
representatives, it is safe to predict that 25O
delegates will be in attendance. This large
representation will also be enlarged by the
presence of the State and National officers
and other members throughout the state.

influential men from every section and

cal American, patriot of unquestioned
loyalty to his country, man of tact and
Stfairs in the highest sense of the terms

GUS among the northern Democrats, call
upon you to allow your name to go before
the next Democratic national convention

will unity and enthuse the Democratic
party throughout the country and insure
the election of its ticket"

ASCENDING PRIEST ARRESTED.

Discovered at Ashland Yesterday and Fol-
lowed to Buck Mountain.
Rev. JakinowicZ the Polish priest of Mt.
Carmel, who is under charge of embezzle-
ment, made by his congregation, and has been
a fugitive for about two months, when he
jumped his bail, was arrested at Buck Noun
tain this morning. The officers who have
made the capture will receive a reward of
$780, Jakinowicz was returned to Mt. Car
mel this afternoon.
The first trace to Jakinowicz was obtained
yesterday, when he was located at Ashland
The priest entered the Union hotel at that
place yesterday and acted in very suspicious
manner. After closely scrutinizing the
people ia and about the hotel the fugitive
registered as ~. Schmid, n Y" His actions
aroused suspicious and people who had heard
of the Mt. Carmel case concluded that the
stranger was the absconding priest.
Jakinowicz had evidently been con-
stantly ON the alert and became alarmed,
as by the time Coal & Iron Policeman
GOudge of Mahanoy Plane, who held the
warrant in the case, arrived, the fugitive had
again taken flight 1t was useless one,
however The clue was a fatal one for the
priest He was followed up closely and at
nine o'clock this morning he was arrested by
Goudge and @. & |. Policemen Kleindenst
and Smith, OF Mahanoy City. Jakinowicz
had represented himself at Buck Mountain
as one Rubinsky. 1t is supposed that up to
yesterday Jakinowicz was in hiding with
| friends in or near Mt Carmel.

The Corset Man About.

The same gentleman who so successfully
played his game upon the people of Potts
willie and other towns in the county has
struck Shenandoah His plan of operation
is to call and inform the lady of the house
that he represents corset firm; that they
will give away 100 corsets in town as an
advertisement instead of spending that
amount in newspaper advertising. The oily
tongued young man departs after leaving a
circular, which he will return for. The
circular states that for l2 cents to pay postage
a corset will be delivered free He returns
in about half hour for the circular and the
IL cents. 1t is said he has already succeeded
in working his scheme of fraud upon quite
a number of unsuspecting ladies of Shenan-
doah. We would warn others from having
anything to do with the man. You will
never hear any more of him after you pay
the IL cents. He is a fraud, which the
people Of Pettsville have found out to their
sorrow.
