LEARNING WISDOM 81.

Postmaster General Wilson, who has
been learning wisdom (?) at the feet Of
Mr.. Cleveland, has written letter to .
West Virginia constituent making o
two-column appeal to the Democrats Of
West Virginia to cling to the single
gold standard. Mr.. Wilson is unfor.u-
nate in stating his case. Hear him.
He says: III Congress tomorrow had
the power and should enact q law com.
polling all the railroads OF the country
Immediately to change from broad
gusge to narrow guage 1t would not
more disorgsnza the tr ansportation bus.
mess of the country and more cripple
It's efficiency thereafter, as compared
with other nations, than for US to pass
at once from gold to silver
standard" Some years ago our ansn-
cial system WAS changed from broad
guage to the narrow single standard
gusge and the great majority have been
in hot water ever since. The few
manipulators and money iugglers have
been in clover, but the plodding masses
have been in hades. We do not ask for
something new and untried. Give US
back the broad gusge. We tried it for
eighty years and it worked equal justice
to oil men.
Again Mr.. Wilson says when we have
free coinage "no gold would be coined,
because, with the bullion necessary to
coin gold dollar, could be purchased
enough silver bullion to coin two dol
lars" When the bullion necessary to
coin silver dollar can be coined on the
same terms with gold into piece of
money that will pay as much taxes, as
much interest on government bonds, as
much principal on debt as the bullion
that is necessary to coin gold dollar
will pay when coined into a piece Of
money on the same terms with silver,
when this becomes the law and the
facts. where will be found the fool who
will part with enough silver to coin two
silver dollars in exchange for enough
gold to coin une gold dollar. Somes
times men. under the false teachings of
others, stray so far down the road to
wrong and injustice that, rather shan
turn back for light they humbug them
selves with false reasoning--like the
boy who whistles in the woods. Mr.
Wilson Ia q bright, man but he has been
hypnotized by Cleveland and is now
humbugging himself.

A Gard From MIR. Heermans.

MIR. EDIToR:-In reply to number OF
letters and inquiries from partial friends
as to the position we should take In our
Republican Congressional convention
and SIS to whether l would be q candi-
date, ask permission to answer through
your columns.
Our platform should be Republican to
the core-honest protection, honest
money, honest elections-the great
trinity upon which the Republican struc.
ture rests. With the American doctrine
OF protection well settled, and An honest
dollar with which to pay honest labor,
and an honest ballot with which the
honest yeomanry can give expression to
It's will, can See the prosperity Of our
country assured. Some of our people
nave, by their surroundings, been in
fected with the heresy Of free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at 16 to 1. No
nation can live and its people prosper
with debased and unsettled currency.
AS we'll expect q business man to stand
we'll In the commercial world who WAS
trying to discount his own PAPER at SOC
on the dollar.
There has never been day since the
close OF the war that the Democracy
has not attacked the integrity of the
finance OF this country. Upon q plat.
form OF Reputation they ran Seymour
and Blair In 1868. That party was AL
most unit against the resumption act.
1t has heen the ally of the green
hackers, the Changers, the Alliance and
now the Populists in their wild cat
schemes to debase our currency. The
sweet-sounding cry OF more money"
diDged into the ears Of the oppre. sed,
has been the slogan all these years.
But how to give these people more
money" that is money they do not stop
to tell. How laboring man ia to be
benefited by receiving so cent dol
lar for 100 cents worth OF work Is past
finding out. That gold and silver is
the money Of the constitution is true,
but l submit that the power 80 coin

that 1t would be impossible to sell POI
