THE CRY GOES UP.

The people are not complaining
about the suffering which soldiers
must endure on the field of battle
or in the immediate theater Of hos
tilities. That was originally recog-
nized as unavoidable to a degree,
and SO far as it was unavoidable
they do not complain, but where
the sufferings Of the soldiers were
the result of greed, incompetency
or neglect they want the guilty ex-
posed and punished. They would
have seen our soldiers 60 barefoot
on foreign ground, and fed on
parched corn, suffering as the fore
fathers suffered at Valley Forge, if
necessary, but it makes every pat
riots blood boil with honest indig-
nation to know that at Camp Alger,
right in sight Of the capitol, where
there was no emmy to guard against
but disease and the dishonest Off
cials, with millions Of money at
the command OF the War Depart
ment, and seventy millions Of peo-
pie ready TO respond to any call OF
distress, our sons and brothers were
permitted to die for want of proper
food, proper medical attention, and
proper sanitary regulations. This
is a part Of the record that white.
wash cannot cover up, and peniten'
tial tears cannot wash out. They
are crimes that cry out against the
administration at Washington and
appeal TO the American people to
avenge them at the polls. s.-Louis-

PARITY OF THE METALS.
By JOHN f. SHAFROTH.
Congressman From Colorado.

Congressman from Colorado.
DO you want the civilization of
the Portuguese, for they have the
gold standard? The truth is that
there arc many things that deter
mine the civilization Of a nation,
the most important OF any being
climate; and i apprehend that there
is no danger of bringing the climate
of Mexico to the United States.
But these silver standard nations,
compared to their former condition
Of five years past, are marvelously
advanced. In the last five years
the exports of Mexico have in
crease d more than so per cent.
The number Of manufactures in
Japan and Mexico have more than
doubled and the railroad building
in every silver standard country has
been increasing enormously, while
in the gold standard countries, in.
stead of an increase in manufact-
ories, there has been, during these
five years, shutting down and
CLOSING OF them to an extent un-
known before in the history Of the
nation.
1t is true that on account of the
famine in India, the shortage Of crops
in Europe, and the war between the
United States and Spain there has,
in the last eighteen months, been
an upw ard tendency in the price Of
some commodities, but when con-
ditiCns again became normal the
same low prices must again prevail.
Some people talk about the flood
of silver, as if it would be disastrous
to nation should it occur. No
nation was ever injured by its peo-
lple having an abundance Of the
precious metals, and instead Of be-
ling detriment, it would produce
the greatest era Of prosperity in the
history Of this country. Some peo-
lple think that as soon as a foreigner
brought silver to the United States
mint and had it coined that there
would be some American with gold
chasing him, in order to get him to
Exchange the silver for gold dollar.
! apprehend that the American
people are intelligent and that they
are not going to exchange gold for
a silver dollar unless it is to their
advantage to DO SO. When a for
eigner brings his silver to our mints
and has it coined into dollars, what
is he going to do with his money?
You know that foreign coin will
not circulate in this country, neith-
er will United States silver dollar
circulate in a foreign country, con-
sequently it will do him no good to
take the silver dollars back to his
own country. The only thing that
he can do with them is buy some
thing that we have for sale-and we
are not going to sell him any more
OF our products than we think his
silver dollar is worth.

WEyLER, the butcher as we. call
him. did not persecute the nOn-com-
batants Of Cuba. with any desire to
te cruel, but the logical conclusion
was that so long as there were Cubans
living, large or small, that they would
ultimately go into the patriot army
and be soldiers, hence starve them to
death, blot them from the face Of the
earth, in order to put down the
rebellion.
The Spaniard has no well defined
priacirle Of what is termed mercy,
equity or justice by any other civiliz
ed nation, yet from his standpoint he
is true to sound principles, and let the
consequences be what they may to
himself or others he will follow the
straight line. This monster Weyler,
whose name will go down into history
as one Of the cruelest. most heartless
men that ever lived, is today the pet
ana Id0l OF the spanish people, ana
he carried on: their idea Of warfare.
In treaties and all diplomatic affairs.
the principle Of the Spaniard is to
take the advantage, get the adyan-
tage, and keep the advantage, and if |
to obtain this, lying, deceit and !
treachery are to be used, it is all the |
more praiseworthy for him who uses
these methods successfully.
The Spaniard will fight as long as
he can get tub on the water, and
we have got row on our hands
which will take some time to properly
settle, and as remarked in some
former papers, "Of all the nations on
the face of the earth Uncle Sam is the
proper party to teach these human
some Of the equities and
courtesies OF civilization" and we
are going to do it.

On I o Cuba.

General Miles is assuming more
and more the control Of the army end
Of the war situation. He had been
in favor Of an aggressive campaign
from the beginning, but the milder
counsels Of other friends Of the Pres
dent and Secretary Alger have pre-
vailed up to this time, Within the
last few days, however, there has
been change Of sentiment for some
reason, and everything that General
Miles has been suggesting has been
taken uP fully and aggresSiyely.
The army officers are Of the opinion
that the situation has been put in
good hands, and that the result will
be admirable The change OF war
plan will mean that the army will co
operate with the navy in the war and
not wait for some indefinite time in
the future when a peaceful blockade /
has resulted in something that no one
i, able to forctell and that may be /
entirely unsatisfactory. The new
plans will end the war in weeks in
stead OF months, it is firmly believed .
by the army people and by II any ma
val officers as well.
The invasion of Cuba, in accord
ancc with General Miles's aggressive
military ideas, will begin immed-
lately.
Inside of five days the entire in
vadins army Of 10000 men will be
on the move and many of them on
Cuban soil.
Orders were issued last week for the
transportation Of the entire
army at Chickamauga to Tampa,
Mobile and New Orleans.
The command of the American
troops at Tampa was formally trans
erred to Maj. Gen. John f. Wade by !
Maj. Gen. Shafter. This was another !
move in the great chess game of war .
about to be inaugurated by the ,
american Government, and intended -,
o give General Shafter an opportun- =
ty to accompany the vanguard that a
viii leave in a few days. Gen. Shat /
er has been selected to command the =.
'irSt Army Corps in Cuba. y
General Wade will remain at !
tampa until the Second Army Corps
will leave. General Coppinger, now
n this city, will probably lead the
'hlrd Army Corps, which will be C..
opposed principally of the troops
hat will make Mobile and New b,
orleans points Of embarkation. Gen br

loyalty Of the troops. Milan is be-
seiged by the rebels, and terrible
scenes of anarchy prevails in most of
the large cities. Refugees fleeing
across the border bring awful tales of
rapine and outrage. The deaths

government has forbidden correspon-
dents to send any further news Of the
