The Very Latest.

Senator Stewart describes the very
latest gold standard financial, sound
money system formulated by the Repub,
lican House committee on banking and
currency. He calls it "Shylock's New
Bank Bill" and is described thusly:
"All government issues, including
greenbacks, government notes, silver GER
.ti6cates and silver dollars, are to be made
redeemable in gold and retired through
the operation of new division i'll the
Treasury Department to be called a Re-
demption Bureau. The national banks
are to be gradually relieved from depos-
iting bonds as security for the currency
which the government furnishes them,
and the government is to furnish them a
new circulation secured by the assets OF
the banks such as chairs, desks, writing
material and the like"
This is what constitutes Sound money!
i'll the opinion of national bankers and
Republican dupes, the basis of which is,
chairs. tables, desks, pens, ink, &c This
is the currency which is to be better than
greenbacks, better than silver certificates,
better than silver dollars and as good as
gold How much more can the Amer,
lean people stand?

Our Representative Government.

1t is an absolute fact that large major
ity of the so-called representatives of the
people are nothing more or less than
thieves. This is bold and sweeping
statement but it is the truth.
The majority of the Illinois Legislature
are thieves. The city council of Chicago
is composed largely of men who should
be in the Joliet penitentiary for stealing
f:om the people. The faint of corruption
extends from the village boards to the
United States Senate, and the peculation
from the stealing Of postage stamps to the
sacking of the nation by bond and other
colossal steals. This is menace to the
nation. The situation is growing worse.
The mere fact that man is public
officer justly makes him an object OF
suspicion. UPHAM ADAMS

The Gold Standard.

A debt system with laws to enforce con-
tracts payable in dollars and by reason OF
falling prices. the inability of the people
to pay the dollars. is transferring the
property of the many TO the few. 1t is
producing untold misery. 1t is bringing
tears from strong men. 1t is wrecking
the happiness of women and children.
1t is weakening the republic. 1t is
destroying the morals of the people. 1t
i; causing the worship of mammon in
place of the worship of humanity 1t has
caused thousands to commit suicide. 1t
has brought tens of thousands to prema-
ture graves. 1t is filling our jails and
p>nitentiaries and insane asylums. 1t
threatens TO overthrow our civilization.
These are the crimes with which we
charge the gold standard.-W. H. HAIR

A Wall street goldbug who understands
the game and is boldly honest enough to
speak the truth says of national banks:
mo sophistry can conceal the fact that
the whole transaction is clumsy device
to donate unearned money to favored in
stitutions The original issue was monu
mental folly, and without support from
any sound principle Of economic financial
science. The practical province OF
national bank tokens is to drive gold from
the treasury and the country. The peo'
pie are then taxed to bring it back. The
treasury is converted into a tobbogan slide
with the golden class perpetually riding
to the bottom and the toiling masses
eternally hauling them back"

Aid to Tome Institute.

1t cannot be properly claimed that Mr.
Tome has established and endowed an
Institute entirely free from public aid
The enabling act passed by the legisla
ture relieves the Institute and all property
of whatsoever kind that ii now possesses

cludes the assessment already made BY

Cecil farmers, drawn while the "philan-

not continue to draw it from them when

gated power from the whole people have
10 right to give the peoples money away

should be sent to the people to pass on at
a popular election. Direct Hesitation is

of donating the peoples money to private

The New Time

For April is more aggressive if
possible than its predecessors. The
magazine is pitched on social lines
and works to that end. But that
which will most interest the reader
is not what the race many achieve
in the future but what can be done
to check and overcome present
evils. Those questions New Time
handles without gloves. The
Mckinley administration and its
Spanish Cuban policy is subjected
to the most heroic treatment. The
following is an extract from reply
to some of the EDITORS selfish critics
to his manly defense of the Cubans:
"The fact that this nation is now
ruled by such men as Hanna and
Morgan is no reason why its people
should supinely submit to Spanish
insults. You cannot insult Hanna.
Nothing could drive him to war so
long as his financial interests are
involved. This nation can recover
from four years of Hannaism.
There is small chance that Presi
dent Mckinley is strong enough to
Withstand the pressure now being
brought against him by the inter,
national money lenders. Let us
keep our record clean. Let us de,
fend the American flag, not for
what it now represents, but for
what it shOnld represent. A flag
is Just what an administration
makes it. Just now at Washington
it stands for Wall street, bond syn
dicates and purchased cowardice.
Where stand the corrupting in
huences of America in this emer-
gency? Where stand the men who
are secretly working for an actual
political plutocracy? Where stand
the men who wonld disfranchise the
people? To man they are plead
ing for Spain. To man they are
urging President Mckinley to
accept a disgraceful compromise.
10 man they sneer at the genuine
patriotism of the people.
'The New Time is an American
magazine. 1t has faith in the
American people. 1t believes in
majority rule. 1t believes that if
the people had chance they would
do two things-free Cuba and retire
William Mckinley. And the peo-
pie would be right"

Whv Doesn't the Price Of Gold Fall P

Wells-Fargo Company give the amount
of gold and silver produced in the States
west of Mississippi and Alaska in 1897.
The amount of gold was, $63, 677,647.
The amount of silver at its bullion value
was, $2e,oSS, 1871. Estimating the silver at
its coin value, $I.2oA an ounce, the value
is, $62, 600, 81. The coin value of the two
metals produced in the United States is
almost exactly the same. About the
same amount of silver is produced in
Mexico. There is but small quantity of
silver produced outside of North America.
Taking the world over, the statistics show
the production of gold to be about the
same as that of silver.
Iu the presence of these knock down
facts what becomes of the goldbug argu-
inent that the great output of silver from
the mines is the cause of the decline in
the price of silver. If there was any truth
in it gold would fall in price also and the
gold dollar would only be worth so cents
1 compared with the Mexican silver dol
lar it is 100 cents 10 the Mexican so, but
compared with the L. S. silver dollar the
gold dollar will buy no more
Compared with value in produce &c
years ago and the gold dollar is eqnal to
200 cents. and it takes what was in amount
or quantity of produce equal to zoe
cents then, TO buy today one gold dollar
If the minis were open to free coinage
where would the flood of silver come from
that is to choke up the channels of trade
with cheap silver dollars? Echo answers
where. This lie, however, has been SC
we'll exposed that the goldbug papers are
dropping it. Their dupes in the Repub
lican party have pretty much all quit be-
, lieving it.
But why don't gold fall i'll the price Of
bullion if the quantity of silver mined has
reduced the price of silver? There is as
much gold mined as silver at ratio Of
I6 to I, and yet gold bullion does not fall
below its coin price, and neither would
silver bullion be below its coin price il

AN ATLANTIC STORM
Communication Interrupted and the
Damage Not Known


ATLANTA. Ca, Aug. 3i.-The storm
which swept up the Atlantic coast last
night has interrupted communication near
the ocean and the extent Of the damage
Is not yet known. The officials Of the
Western Union Telegraph Company today
say that communication with Savannah
Ia completely interrupted. The only places
reached by wire are Charleston, 8. c., and
Jacksonville. Fla. The telegraph company
has put on force Of extra men at Augusta
to which city all business for Savannah is
being sent. From there It goes by train.
No news as to the extent of the storm
has as vet reached this city from any point.
Forecaster Marburn of the Weather Blu
reau has had no advices and the regular
weather reports from that territory are
missing.
Charleston reports terrific downpour of
rain, but no damage. The storm which
came up the coast evidently took the water
just before It reached Charleston, and af-
ter travelling about 100 miles again came
to land and started northward. Abou: If
teen vessels put in there during the after
noon and toward night several more ran
in, reporting terrific blow outside. Luck

day except those engaged In local traffic.

my plan and surprise the enemy, at the
same time securing safe landing for my

BOSTON MERCHANTS
Advocate Closer Trade Relations With
the Canadians

BOSTON, Aug. 31.-At a special meeting
of the Boston Chamber Of Commerce for
the purpose Of considering ways and means
to bring about closer trade relations with
Canada. resolutions were adopted to the
effect that the chamber reaffirm it's posi-
ton as set forth In resolutions adopted
January IS, 1898, in favor of reciprocal trade
relations established between the United
States, the Dominion of Canada and the
colony Of Newfoundland, and asserting
that, IN the opinion of Its members, the
commercial manufacturing and industrial
Of this country will be greatly
promoted by the nearest practicable trade
relations that can be obtained between the
United States, Canada and Newfoundland.
1t was resolved that the Chamber Com
mittee ON Reciprocal Trade with Canada
be instructed to present these resolutions
to the American Commissioner now at Que
bee, and to reinforce them with such argu-
ment, in accordance with their spirit, as
may seem best adapted to convince the
Commissioners OF the feasibility Of the plan.
