UWith a good gold bottom 70 our
finances we can now issue $500, 900
OF bonds at low rate OF interest and
need not even utilize Europe's kind Of

place all the honest money bonds IL
needs right here among our own capt.
talists. But IL II were a Bryan instead
OF Mckinley calling for loan the bonds
would be going begging In every mar

policy for nations as well as for individ-
uals.-Chicago Tribune.
'r1One of the oldest pieces OF news
from Madrid is that the financiers OF
Spain have come out in favor OF the free
coinage of silver. OF all nations, Spain
just now Is the one In the greatest diff
ficulties, and il turns TO n Decent doll
lar to pull IL through. Creditors will
lose co per cent. but perhaps should be
glad TO save anything. Now we shall
see II free coinage, which was recom-
mended by Mr.. Bryan as the only saliva
ton for this country, will serve as the
instrument TO turn the fortunes Of war
against us. Spain and free coinage will
be the Castilian war cry. But IL will

Iplucked up courage at once, crossed
the threshold. and walked right up TO
the man where he stood, propped on
his crutch, talking TO q customer.
"Mr. Silver, sir ?" asked, holding out
the note.
"Yes, my lad" said he; 'such is my
name, 10 be sure. And who may you
be?" And when he saw the squire's
letter, he seemed 10 me TO give some
thing almost like a start.
"Ohl" said he, quite aloud. and offer

cabin-boy; pleased am TO see YOU"
And he took my hand In his large
firm grasp.
Just then one OF the customers at the
far side rose suddenly and made for the
door. It was close by him, and he was
out In the street In a moment. But his
hurry had attracted my notice, and I
recognized him at glance. 1t was the
tallow-faced man, wanting two fingers,
who had come first 70 the Admiral Ben

What VIVA uurf.

Many stories are told of the witty re-
torts made by certain judge who died
a few years ago. and among them In
ono which proves that his wit did not
desert him In the most trying circum-
stances. One day rs he was walking
down the steps which led from his town
house he slipped. lost his footing and
fell with many thumps and bumps TO
the bottom. A passer-by hurried up to
the Judge as the latter slowly rose to
his feet. II trust your honor Ia not
seriously hurt?" he said. In anxious In
quiry. my honor Is not at all hurt"
returned the judge, with rueful ex-
preston, "but my elbows and knees
are, can assure youi"-Tit-Bits.

AN UNsAv0RY LOT.
Free silver Senators Mar Legitimate
Means Of Raising
Money.


Now that war is on-egged on TO no
little extent by the silverite party in
congress-we would like TO know il that
party is still going ito play politics"
with the question? 1t has got whatits
leaders wanted, and as result of the
war there will be free Cuba" dear To
the heart, probably, of every professor
of democracy, but having this, are the
Joneses and Baileys and Tellers going
20 play the role of obstructionists?
1t looks like IL. Here we are on the
verge of a war, the immediate future of
which no man can forecast, when the
whole nation should be animated by y
single thought, but when the admins
tration asks for the means to carry on.
the war IL is at once met by caviling and
by obstruction from the free silver sem
ators.
In our present situation is there any
body who will deny that the govern
ment must have large and instan-
taneous means for carrying on the war?
And how are they TO be obtained. we
would like 20 know, unless by borrow
ing?
And yet the silverite senator's stand
up In the senate and threaten TO block
ell bond issues and all other legitimate
means of raising money until the sur
plus In the treasury Is used up, and the
silver bullion owned by the govern
ment, foolishly called the seigniorage,
is coined into silver dollarsl
They thus show that under the pre-
tense of humanity and the independ-
ence OF Cuba they have plunged the
country into war for free silver and
dishonest dollar. Under the plea OF
patriotism and humanity they are
working for the silver mine owners and
for national dishonor. and they appar-
emily care not what the outcome of the
war may be IL they can by means there
Of establish their rotten and degraded
currency. ~
At this very moment, when the nation
Is on the eve OF war, the extent OF
which no man can foresee, and which
will cost an enormous outlay of blood
and treasure, the Tellers, Morgans, Pet
tigrews, Chambers and Joneses are all
glceful because they see In this pos
sible way for bringing the country
down TO the degraded monetary stand
ard they have so long advocated.
These obstructionists should not be
suffered to have their way for mo-
ment, but be stamped out by the iron
heel of public opinion. This is no
time for playing politics. The nation
is at war and every energy Of the people
rpnst no Javnta1 IN MAKING that war
as short and as decisive as possible with
the least injury to the people of the
United States. To debase the currency
at such time is national crime.-Chi-

IL was bright enough little place OF

painted; the windows had neat red

There was a street on either side, and
an open door on both, which made the
large, low room pretty clear to see in.

BILL FOR WAR REVENUE.
A Republican Measure which VIII
Tax the Rich and spare
the Poor.

The proposed bill for revenue 10 de-
fray expenses of the war will be sure
to meet with opposition from the
democrats. Yet IL must excite general
derision when the gentlemen who have
posed so long as friends OF the poor
man" and "foes OF the corrupt money
power" are heard as advocates of rev.
enue from taxes on tea and coffee, and
from increased duties on sugar, all OF
which arc necessaries OF civilized life, In
preference to n great aggregate revenue
derived from stamp duties that will be
payable almost exclusively by the So
called creditor class. He who in dema-
gogic, populistic and democratic ora
tory Is described as "the poor man." or
zone of the plain. common people" pays
for his clothes, his house rent, his gro
ceries and for all his necessaries, COM
forts, and Injuries, in spot cash, and
without the Intervention of bank.
and he Is free from any burden of the
new revenue bill. But "the money
power" which does it's trading mainly
by paper, will pay tax on every check
II draws. The hated "bondholder" also
comes in for his share OF the increased
burden of war; brokers and spectators
of all sorts will pay tax on every regis
tutlon or transfer OF stocks and bonds,
and upon every memorandum of agree
ment TO buy or sen. All these things are
burdens laid on what Mr.. Bryan calis
"the money power" and they are bur-
dens from which those whom he calls
"the plain. common people" will be al
most wholly exempt.
The tax of one TO five dollars on all
tickets for travel from the United
States TO foreign port is one that In
the case OF steernge tickets Is likely to
be borne by the steamship companies,
and in the case OF first-class passen-
gers will fall on shoulders well able TO
bear II. The tax on deeds Of conveyance
will fall In almost every instance on the
seller, and II will be rare that the seller
OF property valued at $4,000 will suf-
fer real hardship by contributing $50
TO the government.
With hardly an item quotable by way
of exception to the rule, the proposed
war revenue lays new and not very
onerous burdens upon strong shoulders
and spares the sinews of the weak.
Nevertheless, democratic opposition
may be expected. II will, however, be
more farcical than ogical.-Chicago
