Republican Reasoring.

When It was announced that the war
fare for free coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is to / was to be kept up by an
organization of forces, with headquar-
ters at Washington, the gold standard
press swept n clean place on the point
zeal floor and proceeded to throw few
fits, The action Of the bimetallists was
denounced as an effort to delay the
coming of prosperity, silver mine
owners propaganda, agitation, promo
ton of nh tiOnal diShOnor and such like
TIL, gold standard advocates declared
that the campaign ended the free silver
"craze" and demanded that nothin" be
done to keep up political agitation.
But while the gold standard press
was occupying a great deal of space
with these demands and denunciatohS
Marcus A. Hanna and his committee
were preparing to continue the R"pub-
lican organization with the ayoWtd in
tcntion of keeping up a campaign Of
education during the ensuing four
years. This campaign is now on.
The Republican country newspapers
are being supplied with free supple
ments eXtolling the virtues of pr'fe"r
ton. and pointing out the benefits
promised under the gold standard and
agreeing upon all manner of evils had
the country seen tit to declare its inan-
cial independence.
Mr.. Hanna declared that it would be
n great wrong for the bimetallistS 10
keep up their campaign of education.
but all right for the gold standard
crowd to go right ahead.
This is a sample of Republican rea-
soning. 1t is on par with that other
Republican argument, that man may
lift himself over fence by pulling on
his own boOtstraps, and fully as com
prehensive and unanSWerable as that
other Republican contention. that PEG
pie may tax themselves into riches and
opulence.
Since the election the gold standard
organs have been 4 unit in declaring
that the result was deathblOW to free
coinage of silver and unanimously de-
clared that it was wrong to wrestle
with a corpse Free silver was not
killed by defeat last November any
more than protection was killed four
years ago last November. The very or
gans that are demanding that free sill
yer be relegated to the rear because 1t
was defeated are the ones that hoWled
loudeSt about a continued campaign OF
education after the crushing defeat ad-
mfnistered to McKinleyism few years
ago.-Omaha World Herald.

All money is fiat.
The corner stone of the Peoples par
ty is justice.
Gold is not our only enemy, nor silver
our only friend.
The homes of the people constitute
the strength Of the nation.
Republican promises are not being
realized and will prove boomerang.
The police seem to be an organization
for the protection of criminals that
have pull.
One man fighting for his home is
worth four men fighting for their
boarding houses.
No leader who has betrayed the peo-
pie can be efficient again. 1t is not in
the nature of things.
With direct legislation the people
would now proceed to take charge OF
the Pacific railroads..
There is work for all to do, but not
enough money to effect an exchange Of
the products of labor.
We may rest assured that the Nor
gan syndicate is not going to monkey
with the Union Pacific Railroad mere
ly for it's health.
If we are to have any bonds at all let
them be of non-nterest bearing, for the
sting Of the bond is in its power to draw
interest.
If we had the imperative mandate in
this country Grover would have been
yanked out Of the White House more
than a year ago.
1t is said that Wanamaker spent
100000 in his effort to be elected Uni
ted States Senator. That office comes
pretty high nowadays.
The way to bring good times is for
the Government to issue money and
pay it out for public Improvements.
This would put every idle man to work.
From every great city comes the cry
Of poverty and distress. Starvation
stares thousands in the face, but still
the mill Of single gold standard con-
traction grinds on. When will the peo-
pie learn?
An increase in the volume of cur
rency does not amount to reputation,
but if it did that would be more hon
orable for Il nation than to pursue
policy that is starving thousands Of
people to death.
There is great deal of sport HTatp-
of the farmer by his plutocratic cous-

Attorncv General NICK en,,n.

About six months ago Judge Mcken'
ma had another opportunity to show
how completely he is owned by the Pa
cific railroad combination. The State
of California has railroad commission
chosen for the purpose of regulating
freight rates. The commissioners al
ter an exhaustive investigation decided
that the corporations were Overcharg-
ing the farmers and ordered a reduc-
ton of per cent. in the freight rate on
grain. This matter had been contested
for years and the moment the railroad
lost the fight McKenna stepped in to
protect it. He decided that the law I'M
der which the commissioners acted is
null and void and gave 80 railroad per
mission to enlarge indefinitely upon
the many infamies of this man Mcken-
ma. He is notorious all over California
for his subSeryence to corporations OF
all kinds and for his enmity to the
cause Of the people. 1t is true that ne
is not more infamous than most OF the
Federal judges, and in some respects
he is less infamous than Judge KICKS
and Judge Swayne. Nevertheless, 1t IS
astounding that even William Mckin-
ley should give him place in his cabl-
net.-TWentleth Century.

PEARL DIVERS OF cEYLoN.
Marco Polo Tells of Charmers who
Keep Away Sharks.

Whom Won leave the island of SeilaA-
ond sail westward about sixty miles,
Won come to the great province OF Maa-
bar which is STYLED India the Greater;
II is the best of all the Indies, ana Is on
the mainland.
In this province there are five kings,
who are own brothers. | will tell you
about each in turn. The province Is
the finest and noblest in the world.
At this end of the province reigns one
of those five royal brothers, who is :
crowned king and his name is Sender
Bandi Davar. In this kingdom they
find fine and great pearls; and | will
tell how they are got
The sea here forms n gulf between
the Island of Seilan and the mainland. y
And all round this gulf the water has
n depth of no more than ten or twelve
fathoms. and in some places no more
than two fathoms. The pearlfishers
take their vessels, great and small, and
proceed into this gulf, where they stop
from the beginning of April till the
middle of May. They go first to place
called Bettelar, and then go sixty miles
into the gulf. Here they cast anchor
and shift from their large vessels into
small boats. The merchants divide in
to various companies, and each of these
must engage a number of men on
wages, hiring them for April and hair
of May. OF all the produce they have
first to pay the king, as his royalty, the
tenth part. And they must also pay
those men who charm the great fishes,
to prevent them from inJuring The
divers while engaged in seeking pearls
under water, one-tWentieth part Of az
that they may take.
These fish-charmers are termed
Abraiaman; and their charm holds
good for that day only, for at night
they dissolve the charms so that the
fishes can work mischief at their will.
These Abraiaman know also how to
charm beasts and birds and every liv-
ing thing. When the men have got into
the small boats they jump into the
water and dive to the bottom, which
may be at a depth of from four to
twelve fathoms, and there they remain
as long as they are able. And there
they find the shells that contain the
pearls, and these they put into a net
bag tied round the waist, and mount
up to the surface with them, and then
dive anew. When they can't hold their
breath any longer they come up again,
and, after a little, down they go once
more, and so they go on all day. These
shells are in shape like oysters or sea
hoods. And in these shells are found
pearls, great and small, of every kind,
sticking in the flesh of the shelltish.
In this manner pearls are tished in
great quantities, for thence in fact
come the pearls which are spread all
over the world. And the king of thaA
state hath a very great receipt and
treasure from his dues upon those
pearls.-St. Nicholas.
