Seeming inconsistencies.

The bill to drop the coinage of
silver dollars was reported favorably
in the Senate by John Sherman.
That body was ignorant of the pur-
port of the bill The man who re-
ported the bill favorably to the Sen
ate is said to have voted against it.
And yet he has always opposed re-
storing silver to the legal tender it
had and to the minting privilege ac-
corded it by law prior to the act of
1878. If his vote was given against
the act of 1878 and was his honest
conviction what can be said in justi-
fication of his vote against undoipg
that act?
When a measure was brought for
ward in The present congress to retire
the treasury notes John Sherman
raised his voice and gave his vote
against the measure. But when n
proposition was made to issue $780,
100000 gold bonds to retire both the
treasury notes, the silver certificates,
and the Sherman notes he both adj
vocated and voted for the p:opo-
sition. Which of these votes was the
expression of an honest conviction?
Both could not be as one was in IA
vor of exactly the opposite of the
other.
Republican papers, republican
statesmen and republican conven-
tions, state and national, have ex-
pressed almost a universal desire, and
purpose to restore silver to the place
it held as a money metal for 81 years
prior to 1878 in every part Of the
United States. But when the propo-
sition was brought before congress
in 1893 the republican vote in the
House was almost solid against the
coinage at any ratio, and the recent
Republican convention at st. Louis
voted to continue the gold standard
until such time as the Rothschilds,
and the governments of Europe, in
which their voice is potent, consent
thereto.
These professions in favor of the
restoration of silver to its former
place as primary money and its re-
cent action are Numerically oppo-
site? Which was right? Which is
honest?

FOREIGN SILVER WILL NOT
COME HERE
High Republican Authority Submit
ted In Evidence Of the Fact.

On page 146 of the republican text
book of 1894, under the heading
European silver could not be ship
ped into our minis with profit to
foreign owners" the following state
luent appears
the ratio of 15t to 1, whereas, Ameri-
can coinage is at the rate of 16 to 1,
and as the bulk of European silver
has been in use many years, it has
probably lost 3 per cent by abrasion.
Here is dead loss of per cent on
every dollars worth of European
silver to be dumped" on this country
to which must be added freight and
insurance. But this is not all. No
European silver could be offered to
our mints. The ITO alloy which they
contain would have to be extracted
a loss of 10 per ce nt-and the extrac-
ton would cost another S per cent,
making loss and cost of not less
than % cents before the dump
reached our minis, the total loss on
every dollars worth of European
silver brought over here being not
less than 80 cents. To put it In an
other shape, foreign Spectators, in
order to dump" European silver on
our mlnts. would be compelled to sell
for 68 cents the silver that costs them
dollar in gold.
An ounce of coined silver in India
is equal to $1.37 in gold. SO that the
dollar there would contain but 348 81
grains of pure silver. against 359 81 in
Europe and 1.25 here. Hence, tc
send the silver of India here, loss Of
nearly cents an ounce would be in
cured"

In his letter j ohm Ireland describes

Pro-gold standard orators and
newspapers are telling the public
that low prices and the depression OF
industry are due to overproduction.
If this is so then what benefit would
come from opening the mills. u mat
ter concerning which Mr.. Mckinley
processes great anxiety? Granting
overproduction to be the cause, an
increase of production would only
intensity the fall in prices and the
business depression, Therefore, &C.
cepting the gold standard argument,
the reopening Of the mills and TAG,
tories would be a calamity. AS u
matter of fact the supporters of the
Rothschild-Wal street standard have
no argument. What they advan ce
as such does not stand the test OF

Dissenting Opinions

The following extracts are from the
dissenting opinions in the income tax
case.
In my opinion this decision strikes
at the very foundation of national
authority. 1t creates favored class
and is perilous to a large portion of
the people. JOHN NJ. HAREAN,
Associate Justice.
The decision is blow struck at the
American people.
EDWARD d. WHITE,
Associate, Justice.
1t is a public calamity. 1t increases
the burdens of thepoor and decreases
those of the rich. III. e. JACKSON.
Associate Justice.
1t will not inspire respect for the
co lstitution. The decision is nothing
less than a surrender of the taxing
power to the money class.
I'll. B. BRoWa,
Associate J Justice.
No arraignment of the Supreme
court or comment upon its recent in
come tax decision that has been or
can be made, will be half so scathing
as that entered Of record in these dis
senting opinions.
Are these Justices of the Supreme
Court anarchists? Judged by the re,
publican press and by republican
speeches they are, because theil
dissenting opinions are more severe
than any thing said by those who fol-
their censure of the decision are
classed as anarchists.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-(special.).-Mark
Hanna and his corps of assistants in
the management of McKinley's cam
paign are becoming desperate.
Hanna has a large force of campaign
editors writing gold matter in the form
of editorials and special articles which
he has sought to have published in
the press of the country supposed to
circulate among the farmers.
Failing in his efforts to bride and
substitute the great agricultural news
papers and periodicals, this man of
money, Hanna, has sought and paid
for pages in several weeklies, into
which he inserts regular advertise
ments, detailing the alleged virtues of
the gold standard as though it were
Paine's Celery Compound or Carter's
Little Liver Pills.
In the last issue of the Western Rural
appears a full-page advertisement Ia
beled: ga Few Common Sense Facts
for Agriculturists and Home Owners"
Beneath this heading appears in big
black type five reasons why the pro-
ducer should take the Hanna gold cure.
Though the Western Rural prints the
advertisement, labeled such. it is true
to the masses of the people it repre-
sents, and speaks thus editorially of it..

ern Rural, "to an advertisement on

with pleasure for number of good
reasons: /. Because we have conf

the test of common sense to this use

which is seeking to dominate American
voters.

those who have read our paper, in its
discussions on the money question for
or even four weeks, know the differ

tons, and between facts that are perth

ga vote for Mckinley is a vote to
perpetuate the gold standard, and our
readers, be they agriculturists OF home
owners of any kind, recognize this as
one of the pertinent facts in this cam
paign."
The Western Rural at length attacks
and destroys in it's editorial the paid
for-statements in its advertising col
umns.

is well cultivated and peculiarly adap-
ted to the comic songs of which he
makes a speciality. With his darkey
melodies Hawkins combines some choice
bits of negro humor right from the PLAN
tation where it grew. He is q merry
as ever spun yarn. For out and out
fun of the irresistible sort that makes
people roar with laughter In spite of
themselves, Hawkins takes the lead.
Theater-goers will be insured q jolly
time If they hear him for he is whole
show in himself. He made a decided hit
in San Francisco as he doubtless Will
here.
No less engaging, though different in
it's nature will be the lively fun created
by the charming little soubrette, Annie
Suits. Miss Suits has wide reputation
in farce comedy and comic opera. For
several seasons she starred with we'll
known companies and since going into
vaudeville has met with one continuous
triumph. AS a singer she ranks high as
she does also as a Coincidence. Her WORK
has been compared to that of the popu-
lar Lizzie Raymond who delighted Or
pheum habitues with her character
songs some three months ago. She is
said to be equally good, which is enough
to insure great pleasure to all who hear
her sing. Annie is chic little COM
edienne, winsome in her ways and as
bright and pretty as she Is clever. The
class of turn which she introduces al
ways takes well. When presented by
such an artist it ought to win immensely.
Eldora and Norine, the clever jugglers
and equilibrists whose wonderful act
has been the feature of the past weeks
show, are Booked for another turn, El-
dora has been pronounced the greatest
juggler that ever showed in this city and
he certainly deserves that distinction.
