road officials who order their employees
to resort to these methods of disorder
over the possession of property or priv
ileges worth few thousand dollars are
aghast when the same men apply the
lesson taught them by appealing tc
force in disputes over wages which
may involve the earning of fair living
for their Misunderstanding Dispatch
Campaign Lies.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has lost pa
tience with the Republican campaign
liars and reads them lesson which
they are not likely to forget very soon
The first lie nailed by our esteemed
is the assertion of the
press to the effect that "sil.
YER sentiment is dying out" The at,
tention Of these campaign liars is call
ed to the manner in which silver senti'
ment died" in the late Presidential
election. In spite Of intimidation,
fraud, bribery and falsehood, of thir-
teen and a half million votes cast, the
silver sentiment polled over six million
and half. A few of the lies now in
are quoted verbatim by the
Enquirer as follows:
1.-The real fact is that the Democrat.
C party In Ohio is on the point Of
free silver as an issue in
he campaign altogether" ut is said
hat John II. Mclean has come to the
that, under the circum.
free silver as campaign capi.
tai would be losing investment" 1.-The
statement is made that the abandon.
ment of the cause Of free silver by the
Democratic managers in Ohio vii!
bring about very big split in the par
ty in the Buckeye State" 1T Is
known that the bimetallic lead
ers are exceedingly indignant at the
intention of the Democratic
managers in Ohio with respect to the
free silver plank"
1t goes without saying that every
one Of these statements is absolutely
and unqualifiedly false. Most of them
have been exposed and denounced, but
the industry Of the campaign liar is
only equaled by his lack Of honesty,
and therefore his crop of falsehoOds is
always flourishing. The Enquirer does
not waste many words in dealing with
the matter, but settles the question in
the vigorous words which follow: "It
would be difficult to conceive Of any
baser work than the invention Of these
lies, except the work of employing the
creature who does the lying and the
publication of his lies"
Mexican Prosperity.
Mexico seems to be doing business at
the old stand just the same as If there
were no such things in the world as
'40-cent dollars"
This fact has had the effect of caus
ng the gold clique in the United States
to cease filling the editorial and news
columns of the subsidized press with
hypocritical walls over the fate of
poor Mexico The farmers of our
sister republic have discovered that
hey can ship -four to the United States
ut profit, and the manufacturers
nave been quick to learn that they have
l good market for their products in this
Under these conditions it is not to be
wondered at that President Diaz will
decline to commend to the Mexican
Congress any radical changes in finan-
,ial policy. Why should he? Money
from Europe and the United States is
lowing into Mexico every day because
t finds there profitable fields for invest
ment.
In the face of facts such as these,
low can the members of the gold clique
have the effrontery to talk about the
lorrors which would follow the adoption
If bimetallism by the United States:
These gold advocates care nothing for
national prosperity. They are working
n their own individual interest, and
ire straining every nerve to keep up
he appreciation Of gold in order that
hey may fill their pockets at the ex'
)ense of the people.
Dangerous Phase of prosperity"
The bankers of Wall street are max
ng a great cry over the present gold
IMPORTS from Europe. They want the
people to believe that this is unmistak-
lble evidence that the prosperity wave
promised by the McKinleyites is COM
ng at last. They claim that the foreign
money lenders are satisfied with the
way the Republicans have run things
n Washington, and that they are con-
ready to do business again
With this country-at so much per cent,
If course.
If this explanation of the gold ship
nents from the other side Is the true
,ne, what does it prove? Merely that
,ur Government is run in the interest
If European financiers, and not for the
benefit of the peOple-that the mOnOp-
,lies are being favored so as to induce
foreign capitalists to send over more
money and create more trusts to suck
IN the life blood of the masses.
If the explanation is the correct one.
We may as well prepare ourselves for
/ rapid increase of the evils against
which we are fighting-the monopOliz-
ng of the necessaries of life by the
sharks who aim to make every
and every nation tribu-
.ary to their greed.-New York News.
On the Side of the Masses?
A Republican sheriff and seventy Re-
publican deputies murder twenty one
miners with Winchesters and wound
forty others, and a Republican Cover
nor orders out $500 State troops to pro-
tect this murderous sheriff and his
murderous deputies against the I'M
armed friends of their victims. The
party, national, State and
county, is always on the side Of the
masses!
