Some People Don't Understand.

Some people do not understand that
the men who favor the free coinage of
silver are also just as much in favor OF
the free coinage Of gold as they who
style themselves exclusively gold
men.
People prior to 1873 could take eth
er their gold or silver to the U. 8. minis
and have 1t made into dollars. Now
they =. can take only their gold. The
consequence is that there are fewer
dollars being made, and whenever any
body wants one he must give more for
It than he used to. Men who have
wheat, cotton, dry goods, real estate,
labor or anything else must give much
more of them than right to buy dol
lar when they want one. To the prop
erty of those people who own money
this increase in the value Of the dollar
amounts to an absolute confiscation.-

The American bimetallic commits.
sioners have received a flattering well
come to France; but we must not
count too much on that, for the French
are nothing IL not hospitable;
and authorized representatives of
this republic, no matter what
their mission, would receive nothing
but courteous attention and their mis-
sion thoughtful consideration at their
hands. Yet M. Meline, premier and
minister of agriculture, made it clear
in one of his addresses that if only
France had to be consulted internation-
al bimetallism would quickly be real
lied. He declared that France would
put no obstacle in the way Of rehabil-
itating silver with its old-time func-
lions as standard money. But there's
the rub-England, the money-lender,
and Germany, committed to a gold
policy, it is not believed will give a
second thought to the subject. Much
as the three commissioners may en-
joy the splendid junket, they are
doomed to bring back only disappoint-
ment to those who have pinned their
hopes to possible international
agreement. And the sooner they re-
turn and cut off the expense entailed
in this bootless task, the BETTER

yourself on the affairs of your nation?
Do you take reform paper? Do you

THE GOVERNMENT FIAT.
It May Be Made to Work TwS
WAYS.


Those who claim there is nothing
in a piece of paper and that the gov
eminent could not make it perform the
functions Of money for the lack Of
power to do so, If they only notice,
they will find that piece of paper can
be made a powerful instrument and is
so made every day, says the Tacoma
Sun. If it is issued by federal OH
Ger, called a Judge, and is named an
Injunction, 1t will accomplish won
ders because backed by the govern
ment; this fiat of an officer will call out
the army and navy Of the United
States if necessary. 1t can override
the constitutional guarantee of free
speech and the right of peaceful as
sembly; it can force man to work
even if does not want to, and do away
with writ of. habeas corpus. This
governmental "fiat" is yet in its in
fancy. There is no telling how far
reaching it will become when it is fully
developed. 1t has become the OPP
pressor of millions-and greater ty-
rant never lived-it can always be
found doing the dirty work Of plutoc-
racy and crushing the poor. If all this
can be accomplished by an ordinary
piece of paper, it seems strange to
us that some can doubt the power OF
the government to make piece of
paper full legal tender when backed by
the same power that an injunction is.

THE UNIVERSAL TRUST.
Tie signs of the Times Herald It's
Coming.

The signs of the Times Herald Its
Coming.
The report that the Standard OIL
Trust has obtained, or is about to OBJ
tain complete control Of the lead,
leather, tobacco and whisky interests
of the country, together with a COM
bination of gas interests, including
Chicago Gas, may have been prema-
ture, but there is every reason to sup
pose that such consummation will be
reached before long. The Standard
OIL magnates already control the BUSH
ness Of the country in oil, iron, ore
and sugar; they are on the point OF
conquering the steel and coffee indus
tries; they own much of the ship
ping of the lakes and most Of the great
tourist hotels in Florida; they are d.
rectly interested in several lines OF
railroad, and they can dictate terms
in the matter Of freight rates to the
entire transportation system of the
union. They have to find investments
every year for about $50, O0O,0 900 of sur
plus profits, and with that amount and
their skill in manipulation 1t would be
simple matter to obtain control OF
two or three new trusts annually. OF
course, every new enterprise absorbed
by Mr.. Rockefeller and his associates
adds to the income to be invested the
next year.
1t Is hard to see any end to this
process short of the absorption Of the
entire wealth of the country by lit
tie group Of capitalists. 1t seems
clearly to be process that must go
on with accelerating velocity. Most
people of the poor, the comfortable and
the moderately well-to-do classes live
up to their incomes, and have nothing
to invest. Many even of the very rich
do the same thing. When we find a
few men acting together who are at
once prudent and enormously rich,
whose living expenses absorb no ap-
preciable proportion of their incomes,
who have practically the whole of
stupendous surplus available every
year lOT luVeSllutul, anu WIZ uuNC IhO
most perfect inside knowledge Of the
best opportunity for profit and the
shrewdest faculty for taking advantage
of them, it is hard to avoid the con-
clusion that those men, If they live
long enough and hang together, must
eventually become practically the sole
proprietors of the nations industries.
There is every reason to believe that
unless we have some radical change in
political conditions the next thirty
years will see the entire industrial &C.,
tivity of the United States regulated
by a single trust, of which the bulk
of the American people will be the en-
ployes. What will happen then will
depend upon the degree Of virility still
left in the population. It will be an
epoch from which the union may date
an advance to a higher social state
than anything previously known, or
a plunge into complete and permanent
industrial slavery.-New York Daily

DIngleyism at Work.

The receipts of customs during the
first four days Of the Wilson law in

Good o,d Kepubllcan Times.

The sale of real estate of the late
James Emmitt, Of Waverly, conveys
very forcibly an idea of the appalling
decrease in values the past few years.

at 500, 900 before Mr.. Emmitt's DEATH
went under the auctioneers hammer

Dicks Bungling Work.

Boss Hanna's man, Dick, may be re-
lieyed of the management of the Han
ma campaign in Ohio. He has got him
self the ill-will of the Republican mag
mates for having bungled his work In
bribing certain Ohio Populists. In
stead of using cash, he was thoughtless
enough to have used checks, and these
disagreeable proofs of bribery have
gotten into the wrong hands. The
magnates aforesaid expected Dick to
arrange for the nomination OF a
straight Populist state ticket in Ohio,
and for other Populist assistants to
the Republican state and legislative
tickets, especially the latter, but they
didn't expect him to do 1t so clumsily
as to be caught at it. AS no explain
alton has been or can be put forward
by Dick that will satisfy an intelli-
gent and unprecedented mind that he
has not been engaged in wholesale
bribery, it is believed in Washington
that Boss Hanna will seek to escape
responsibility for the bribery by pre-
tending to rebuke Dick by taking the
management of the campaign out OF
his hands. Dicks bribery has greatly
strengthened hopes Of defeating Hanna
Elk.
Now You're Shouting.
A short time since gold syndicate
organ of New York printed glowing
article on the effect that mortgages
have been paid off the past eighteen
months in the state of Nebraska to the
amount of $3O,OO0,OOO. This fake was
taken up by Republican papers all
along the line and reproduced for
misleading the people. Now the fact
is that not only one twentieth Of this
sum has been actually paid of in cash.
The large majority of the transactions
are simply renewals. but many OF the
mortgages were paid off by the debt
ors' land being sold on foreclosure to
nav the debt. Furthermore. many
of these debtors who have been sold
out have lost all and are in debt. In
many cases the lenders foreclosed their
mortgages, took the debtors
lands, and still hold frem 80 to Is
per cent of the debts against the people
who orrowed-Clinton County Demo-

THE POPULIST VIEW.

Old Scion Chase of Maine declares
that the money question is now ripe,
and will be settled by the people be-
fore any other issue is seriously dealt
with. "The free coinage Of silver,
says Scion Chase, ''is not all of the
money question by any means, but Is
as much as the people are ready for
The great conservative multitude don't
bite off justice in great large junks.
The silver question is the weak spot in
the bondholders ramparts, and is the
spot where the break must be made.
After free coinage of silver the logic OF
events will mark out the way"
1t takes more than a good temporary

the plutocratic press then find to say

In the meantime city workingmen

state it will be easily understood that
1t has forgotten to lie in this one in

And the following from an Eastern
labor paper tells the same story:
Ceases of starvation are becoming so
common that they hardly attract at
tention any more. The once proud
Americans are sinking into helpless,
hopeless condition that travellers tell
Is in Italy, Spain and other despotisms
Men and women tramp the streets and
highways of their native land in yain
endeavor to find some one who will
give them food for their labor. In the
last week several gruesome cases have
come to light that ought to bring the
blush of shame to any American. How
long this thing is to be allowed to con-
tinue is serious question. but there
is no doubt that the public is becoming
restless under it. and that the pent up
fires of indignation are gathering force
and cannot always be smothered. The
people have made enough wealth. but
they are not allowed to consume it. 1t
is consumed-wasted-by those who in
nowise aided in it's production. And
the world moves to higher planes by
apparently contradictory methods"
The money power cannot hypnotic
the people with their tales of pros
perity which the people know reaches
only as far as the bank accounts of the
plutocrats.
