A Deep LAID Scheme.

There is deeply laid plan to defeat
the cause of silver even if Bryan
should sweep the country. This pan
has been foreshadowed in various
newspaper statements and is begin
ming to be put into effect in this dis
trict as we verify believe. We shall
later on, inform our readers of the
influences which we believe are being
exerted to accomplish this end. Our
belief is that the gold republicans and
the boiling democrats are laying
snares to capture every doubtful con
gressional district, They have aban-
doned or nearly SO, carrying the coun-
try for Mckinley, but there is another
straw on which their drowning hopes
may hang. It is the Lower House of
Congress. With that safe what would
the election of Bryan amount to !?
Nothing. All legislation on silver
would be blocked for two years at
least, and if for that time, they hope
forever. Such a result would sweep
away every result of the election, and
dishearten and discomfit silver adyo
Gates to degree, that would, we ad-
NIT, be fatal. What does the money
power care for the expenditure of ten,
fifteen or twenty millions in cam
paign which to win would mean hun
dreds of millions to them? What would
they care to spend twenty five thou
sand dollars is this district provided it
could be carried? To be fore warned is
to be forearmed. Mr.. Flood. they say,
must be beaten, expense is nothing,
the district we must have, and have it
they are going to, if money can win it.
This is the condition that, we verify
believe, confronts us to-day, and we
sound this note of warning to our
friends who have the free and unlimit-
I'D coinage of silver at heart, and say
20 them that nothing must be left
lndone, to break up this deep laid
cheme.

That International Agreement.

1t is impossible to credit the state
ment of republicans. who assert that
they are for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver of brought about by
international agreement.
Any one who looks at this statement
closely must see that it is false, and
misleading, and made with intent to
deceive.
They do not want silver at all, and
the international agreement excuse is
simply a hole, through which the willy
gold standard people creep.
The very idea is humiliating, and no
people have been more professedly op-
posed to humbling themselves before
foreign potentates, and nations than
the republicans. 1t has been their
boast that this country is able to take
care of herself under any and all con-
ditions, and defend herself against any
and all the great European powers.
Yet we find this party which has pro-
fessed such confidence in the prowess
of the United States. and such con-
tempt for foreigners, declaring itself in
favor Of bimetalism, and the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, upon the
condition that some great monarchies
