THE HARD TIMES ARGUMENT,

But-and here Is the popular argument
in favor of free silver coinage-we have
had hard times under the gold standard.
That is true, and what is also true is that
under the silver standard we shall have
much harder times. 1t Is the great fallacy
of the day to be attributing our hard
times to the gold standard. The craze for
free silver as q cure for hard times is ex.
plicable on the same theory that man
who has been long time sick despite the
attentive care Of expert physicians will
call for any quack who advertises to cure
all the ills of humanity. Hard times have
come through the severe and resistless
working of economic laws-which go their
way in spite Of legal enactments Of parlia

CALLS IT REBELLION.

The movement which had It's expression
In the Chicago convention and which now
seeks by means of popular suffrage to
enthrone itself in tho capital of the nation,
is in It's logical effects rebellion against
the United States; it is secession; the Sc
cession of 1851 which our soldiers believed
they had consigned to eternal death at
Appomatax, but which demands again
recognition from the American people.
The declaration In the Chicago platform
has, and can have, no other meaning:
1--WE denounce arbitrary interference by
federal authorities in local affairs as a
violation of the constitution of the United
States and a crime against free institu-
tions." The words point to the act of
Grover Cleveland, sending United States
troops to protect national property and
enforce national laws during the Chicago
riots, in 1894. In those words there is the
old secession doctrine that states are
independent Of the national government
at Washington. There is the an
nulment of the Union; there is no
tice served upon the flag of America,
that outside Of the District of Columbia, it
is without power Of self assertion or self
defense. The president of the United
States is told that to enforce national
laws and protect national property he
cannot march his troops into any state
without the authorization Of the governor
Of that state. One of the chief speakers at
the convention Of Chicago understood the
Significance Of the convention and voiced
its spirit. II came from state which
was thu. home of secession" said Senator
Tillman of South Carolina. II say" he
continued, ''it is a sectional issue. and it
will prevail" And fitting was it that the
speaker, voicing the spirit of the Chicago
convention, should be the representative
of South Carolina. Thrice has South
u Carolina spoken for secession-when 1t
passed in 1882 the notification ordinance,
when in 1851 it fred on Fort Sumter,
when In 1895 it cries out "A sectional
issue and it will prevail
Tho platform of the Chicago convention
threatens the country with destruction OF
social order, with lawlessness and anar-
chy. The personifcation of law and 60
cial order in America is our courts-and
the promise Of safety 70 our free institu-
j tions is the prompt obedience of the peo-
4 pie to those courts And now the courts

QUARTZ MINING IN ALASKA.

. Report What They Found.
* SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Bertha,
which has just arrived from Alaska,
were J. E. Spur, H. B. Goodrich and
s. G. Schrader of the United States
Geological survey. They were sent by
the department. to Alaska last spring to
make report on prospects of quartz
mining in that region, and they spent
the entire summer in pursuing their in
vestigations and observations. They
crossed the Chilkat Pass and reached
the Viper Yukon about the middle of
June. They then went down the Yu-
kon to it's mouth, pursuing their inves-
LEGATIONS at the various mining SETTLE
ments on their way and reached Fort
st. Michaels, at the mouth of the Yukon
three weeks ago, sailing almost imme-
diately for San Francisco.
VIII Be Proflta lie Properties.
They have satisfied themselves, they
say, that the prospects Of profitable
quartz mining in Alaska are very good,
and will make report to that effect.
There is a big ledge running northwest
and southeast through the country
similar to the mother lode in Califor-
MIA, and they expect to see many big
mines opened on the ledge before many
years have passed. At present placer
mining is the only process in vogue on
the Yukon and its tributaries. They
declare that quartz mining can only be
conducted at great expense but they
believe that plenty of ore can be four d
of sufficient richness to make quartz
mining not only paying, but q profit

encountered are mosquitoes and cold
winters.

WAR OF CLASS AGAINST CLASS.

Worse to my mind than all this is the
spirit Of socialism that permeates the
whole movement which has issued from
the convention at Chicago. 1t is the Sin
ternationaP'o of Europe, now taking body in
America OF this one can not but be con-
WINGED, when the movement is closely OBJ
served, the shibboleths of its adherents
listened to, the discourses Of IN orators
carefully examined. The wal< of class
against class is upon us, the war Of the
proletariat against the property holder.
No other meaning than this can be given
to the appeals to the common people,"
Ito the laborer;" ito the poor and down
trodden," aud to the denuncintion against
"plutocrats'' and Corporations" and
"money -grabbers' and "bankers." Many
ndherents of the movement do not per-
ceive it's full meaning; but let them be-
ware; they are lighting torches which,
borne in hands Of reckless men, may light
up in this country the lurid fires Of q COM
1nune.
America, heretofore, has been free from
socinlistic hatred and warfare; it has been
country of opportunities for all men,
and it has given to the laborer q livelihood
higher and better than is afforded him in
any other country of the wcrld. Is this
NIL to be changed? Is social tScos, gloat
ing over ruins, to be the meth Il of social
elevation of the masses? There may be
room in some things for peaceful ameli-
Grafton through u we'll informed public
opinion and orderly legislation; but class
hatred and angry passion never led to
aught but general misery and suffering.
The people Of America must today look
warily around, guard against catchwords
and misleading war cries, avoid giving
any countenance to socialistic or an
archistic tendencies and know that the
first condition of prosperity to any and oil
classes of the people is a peaceful COM
monwealth and assured social order.

LABoRINo CLASSES WILL SUFFER

lam absolutely convinced that the Ia.
boring classes will suffer the most of all
from free silver coinage. And yet the
laboring classes are those that are the
most urgently appealed to in this free sill
yer movement. A man who talks against
free silver is put down at once as an enc
my of the common people," Well, fol
my part am willing to be called an enc
my Of the working classes of "the com
mon people," If am in reality advising
them for their good and serving their true
interests. Those above all others in the
land who should today be on their guard
against the silver movement are the labor
ers of America
But, will not the farmers be beneflttedi
Will they not receive a higher price fol
their productss May be, higher price
but not higher value. OF what use Is il
to have dollar instead of half dollar il
the dollar can purchase no more than the
half dollarp And will farmers receive
even nominally much higher price thar
they do now? The best market of the
farmers product is his own country. And
If his own country is impoverished, il
factories are closed, if laborers in cities
are penniless, the farmer will receive but
little far his harvests.
Men on salaries will scarcely hope tc
have their salaries doubled even nomin
ally-and, then, their salaries, such az
they may be, will have only half the pur
chasing power they have today.
Those who owe debts payable-principa,
or interest-in gold will receive the same
salaries as today, and their salaries will
have but half the debt paying power which
they have today.
But those who owe debts, not payable
in goldp Well, If the country is ruined
where will they find even silver to pay
their debts in silverp The only men bene
fltted-and they are few today-and it il
scarcely worth while to bring around 6
revolution in the country to benefit then
are the debtors who have today gold or
hand, and who, by free silver coinage will
have their store doubled in nominal value
and will be enabled to reduce their debt!
by one-half. And for those the question
remains: Is it honestp
1t is a delusion to imagine that silver
will circulate so plentifully that it can b.
had easily by all, and that the quantity
will make up for the lack Of value. If sill
yer bullion does not increase in CONNER
cial value, silver will not be produced il
quantities; and as owners of silver will
not part with it except in exchange fol
commodities of labor which they deem
useful and valuable, If the business of tn,
country is not prosperous, the people vii
get very little silver and obtain no profit
from free mintage.

A NONSENSlCAL BOAST.

The boast that the United States isable
oil alone to whip England and the rest Of
the world into the coinage of silver at 16
to 1, or to force the value of silver up to
1929 an ounce, is mere nonsense. We are
a great people, indeed, but we have not
yet grown to that commercial strength
that our country means the commercial
world. Our national pride may give us
extraordinary dreams Of our importance;
but it will not do to build the business Of
