Observations.

A man may have ability, but it isn't
any sign
That he'll occupy the palace a and
catchthe train on time;
For the smallest kind of horsedy draws
powerful lot of blood,
And a little runty hog will root a heap
of nasty mud.
The mosquito, who is smallest as well
as pretty lean,
Is the mi who gives the trouble when
lie wriggles through the screen.
The tallest kind of swearing is occa-
stoned, as we see,
by the energetic action of a very little
flea;
And the meanest kind of intellect that
in the country grows
Is the II that gets the sugar when it
TO the Senate goes.
It's the active little maggots that are
in the richest cheese,
And they catch the smallest minnows
in the biggest kind of seas.
The broadest kind of intellects are Of
ten on the shelf,
While the active little jackass gets all
the place and pelf;
And it seems to an observer in this hot
and trying cline
That activity perHicious'' gets the
biscuit every time.

The paper-talk about prosperity
coming with wages still falling is all
sound money wind. The wages of the
amalgamated iron workers at Youngs-
town, o., have been reduced from u
to 10 per cent. The scale is based on
the selling price of iron. As the price
OF iron has gone down and not up there
is less for labor. A Long Island silk
mill has reduced wages from 80 to 40
per cent. The women laborers have
struck but their places have been filled
with Turks. In the central West hun.
dreds of thousands of coal miners are
on a strike against starvation wages.
In New York City thousands of cloak
and pants makers are on a strike
against starvation wages. These opera.
tors earn an average of 81 a week, it is
said. Cloaks for which the operators
were formerly paid 40 and 50 cents
apiece for making, are now turned out
for Is cents at an average, is cents
being the highest price paid. Ameri'
can wages will continue to fall unit
they reach the level of the most en-
lightened nations while we continue

A Money oligarehy.

The forced resignation of President
Andrews of Brown University, Rhode
Island, because he advocates free silver
is one of the best blows p~lutocracy
could have given the cause, because
the rebound will be greater. The Lon.
don Spectator says: eve can scarcely
escape the conclusion that a conspiracy
exists among the heads of trusts in
America to interfere with the freedom
of teaching in the universities 50 far as
economic questions are concerned, in
order that nothing shall be uttered
which has not received the trademark
Of monopolist approval. Capitalists
have subsidized the pulpits, bought up
the press, seated well-paid attorneys in
the Senate, and finally have stretcht
their hands out to the colleges, which
it is an easy thing to capture by such
generosity as Mr.. Rockefeller's. APP
%parently it is their intention TO convert
the United States into q powerful oil
garehy, and they win extend the sway
OF that oligarchy to other lands when
they can"

Free Coinage" Demand Is Misleading.

silver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, 16 to l, more or
nothing more, for ono am prepared to
meet him, and in that way to stop the
present contest. Who would want them.
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage OH those terms. Not one OF
them would be satisfied. Not one Of
them would then get what he is after
under the pretext that free coinage and
equal rights of gold and silver" are all
that he wants. challenge any one to
find an advocate of free coinage at 16 to
/ on these simple terms-that both gold
and silver should be treated alike; that
both gold and silver coins shall be made
for any one who takes the bullion to
the mint to any number that he wants.
I challenge any advocate Of free coinage
to deny that free coinage, pure and sim
pie, is not what he demands. and not
one of them will dare to meet this chal-
lenge
This demand for free coinage is a
cover intended to conceal the true pur-
pose of those who ask it. Most Of those
who support this measure have been de-
ceived and misled. Let such men put
the question to any owner of silver
mines, to any senator or representative
in congress or to any and every candi-
date on the free coinage platform in
the following terms:
''If we grant free or unlimited coin
age, without charge for the coming,
will you demand nothing more?" Not
a man who knows what the true pur-
pose is will answer eyes" to that ques-
