Naval Bill in House Passed With
Display of Enthusiasm.
WASHINGTON, April 1-After an
exceedingly turbulent session of six
hours the House today passed the
naval appropriation bill and then adj
journed until Monday The war spirit
was manifested in all the speeches
and OVERRIDE the Naval Committee it
self by increasing the number Of tor
pedo boats and torepdo boat destroyers
to PIP of each.
The amendment of Cannon, chairman
of the Appropriations Committee, to re-
duce the number of battleships to one
was buried under an overwhelming ma
jority. Cannon, during the course Of the
day, announced the belief of a majority
of the members tina war would be upon
us within a week
Cannon offered a substitute for the
paragraph in the bill providing for
three battleships, six torpedo boat and
six torpedo boat destroyers. The sub
stitute provided for one battleship TO
cost $4,000, 900 exclusive Of armament,
y torpedo boat destroyers and u tor
pedo boats to cost not exceeding S4,-
600, 600
After several hours of wrangling,
during which all sorts of amendments
were offered and voted down and many
speeches were made, the vote was
taken upon the Cannon substitute to
reduce the number of battleships to
one and to increase the torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers to u each.
1t was defeated-7S to 124.

SIXTEEN TO ONE

o. what Is the cry that is rending the sky,
All over the south and the west
From far and from near the same slogan
we hear,
With never pause or O rest
Through faint in the east. 1t Is ever In
creased,
As you follow the course Of the sun.
lin the Rockies ara passed. with q wild
trumpet blast,
For silver at sixteen to one.
It sounds to the tramp of the far mining
camp.
Then comes over mountain and plain:
TIL caught in the mouth OF the planter
down south,
While the farmer takes I'D the refrain
Wherever tits found tits a magical sound.
And wonderful work it has done.
Here. there. everywhere. 1t Is filling the air
Free silver at sixteen to one.
From the far Golden Gate to Washington
state,
Thence east to superior's beach
Take your course and then ship down the
broad Mississippi,
Till the shores of Kentucky you reach;
Up the fair Ohio. past Virginia go.
Thence eastward the boundary run:
You Will thus understand that three
fourths of the land.
Is bowling for sixteen to one.
Though goldbugs berate, and their par
tisans pirate,
And their newspapers fill up their space:
They tremble In fear when that slogan they
hear,
And find 1t growing apace.
Though they fume and they sweat, we will
woliop them yet,
And won't we have oceans of fun,
AS we bury them deep In their ultimate
Meath ballots for sixteen to one?
AS fair futures ope through glory of hope.
To the vision enchanted of youth:
As the forces of fright come on like the
light,
And triumph with justice and truth:
So the prospects we see of a swift victory,
When the battle at last is begun;
Things arc coming our way, tits the break
of the day,
For silver at sixteen to one.

THE REAL PURPOSE.
Republicans Have Opened the Way
to Wealth for Bankers
and Trusts.

Time flies quickly. In the 7O's Sher-
| man blinded the eyes of many when he
changed the 6s. to As. 1t was game
of anticipation; they sold for nearly
the same amount. People wondered
at this wonderful feat on the part of
Honest John, but the trick was short
ening the interest and frightening the
time the bond had to run. This was done
for the sake of the banks, whose char
tiers were soon to be renewed. They
desired the open and shut game be-
tween four per cents. and their bank
notes, thus causing a back and for
ward dancing between notes and
bonds, the business community pay
ing the fiddler. There was a side play
going on also; banks were allowed one
quarter of one per cent. commission
and three months time to pay them in,
when they, could have been sold for
cash without a commission. Thus a
cool $4,000, 900 was grabbed by the
banks. Mr.. Gage is continuing on the
same line. The $500, OOO, 900 bonds for
carrying on the war with Spain, at
three per cent. will just come in handy
for the secretary's pet bank scheme.
The national banks will come up again
for recharter the beginning of the
next century. They are particularly
interested. Our republican financiers
are not in a great hurry about ulti-
mate gold monometallism; the banks
object to having their notes payable in
gold. Uncle Sam has shouldered the
possibility so far. They prefer to
arrive at it by easy stages, and the dis
turbances from time to time they will
blame to cverproduction, war, strikes,
elections, crop failures and what not,
and as soon God forbid thatD as they
control all real estate and the money
of the country the system should be
reversed and the investors would reap
a rich harvest for decades to come.
L. Won Stein said: There can be, ac-
cording to all the laws of human de-
yelopment, no doubt that there will be
time when metallic money will dis
appear and mankind will possess only
per money" Millions upon millions
will go to money autocrats ere this
shall come to pass. It is great game
of cards, with tremendous stakes to
win. Large trumps have been played,
but the joker is still out.

INVITES PANIC AFTER PANIC.
What the Demonstration of Silver
and the Locking Up of Gold in
Great Quantities Mean.

In response to a letter of inquiry
written to Secretary Gage, the treas
ury department at Washington states
the total cost of the Spanish war from
the beginning until August 81 after the
close at sos, 100000.
This is less than half the amount of
the gold the Mckinley administration
is now boarding in the treasury. yet it
has had the hardihood to force an is
sue OF $500. OOO, coo in bonds to draw in
terest from the scanty earnings Of
American labor:
This money was not borrowed for
war purposes, but to prevent the circu-
lation of other money-of the $2OO, 0OO,-
600 in Mr.. McKinley's Wall street
'war chest"
The Wall street plutocracy compels
the producers of the country to pay
interest on one bond issue after an
other in order to maintain the gold
reserve"-that is, to keep over $780,,
100000 in gold locked up out of circu-
lation in order to increase the demand
for and the interest on national bank
notes.
A national bank note represents the
extreme of imitation. It is 100 cents
less than nothing. To demonetize sill
YER and lock up gold in order to force
the inflated and valueless paper of
private corporations into circulation
on the public credit, is not only to in
vite but to compel panic after panic

Increasing the yaIue.

Just SO long as prices are stated in
figures representing multiples and
fractions of a common money unit the
number of such money units must de-
termine the exchange power of the
individual unit. If the combined gold
and silver of the world suffiees to make
5000, COO, 600 money units, the value of 4
single unit would be cne-eighth bill
Honth of the whole. But if one of the
metals is outlawed and no money
units are made of it and the other
metal will only make 1000, 0OO, 600
units, other things remaining I'M
changed, the exchange power of each
unit will be twice as great as before,
prices will be only one-half as high,
and mortgage or bond viii call for
money units twice as valuable as be-
fore. A thousand dollars means a
thousand money units of equal size.
IF money units are all of thesame value
and equalize in value regardless of
the total number of them in existence
and the total number that exists make
the worlds prices, it is clearly evident
that the exchange power Of each unit
must vary inversely as the number of
units is increased or diminishe6.-Sil-

DINGLEY's THEORY TESTED.
Effect of the High Tariff Policy ON
One of Our Leading In
dustries.

Unfortunately, the overprotected
wooden industry is not doing its share
in exemplifyi1g the benefits of the
Dingley tariff law. The other day the
wool exchange in New York was
cled for the mills centering i'll New
York 10 make it pay to keep the doors
of the exchange open. Textile Amer
lea, trade publication, notes that the
business is seriously depressed. It
adds: THE consensus of competent
testimony exhibits on the whole bout
as unfavorable a condition of things
as has ever heretofore existed in any
corner of the textile field. This condi-
ton is pervasive. affecting at once all
the fiber and fabric markets"
Following this statement and con-
fi-matcry of it comes the news of the
failure of the famous Sawyer wooden
mills at Dover, n. H. The plant is one
Of the most celebrated in the coun-
try. They have been running since
1923. They nave been manufacturing
about 100000 yards of wooden and
worsted goods for mems wear yearly,
consuming 2.4oo.o 900 pounds of wool.
Will the tariff doctors give the WOOL
en- industry the benefits of their atten-
ton? Under the highest protection
ever known the wooden industry faces
rs unfavorabIe conditions as have ever
before existed.
And TO add to the completely of the
situation, William Laurence is threat
ening the republican party with ven
scaHce unless it promises still higher

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Independent Newspaper Says That
Cause OF Bimetallism Is Making
Greater Progress Than Ever

| The Illinois State Register commends
J to its republican readers the follow
| ing words of truth and soberness from
the Peoria Star, an independent paper
with republican leanings. The Star
is goldite paper, but it has sense to
realize that there is something more
in the silver question than "a craze"
1t says:
THE free silver party is not dead,
| although the general opinion was at
| the last general election that it's ghost
! had been laid for all time. In Wiscon-
| sin the party has sprung up stronger
than ever, and the stand that it is TAX
ing is of the most radical description.
1t insists that the coming issue is for
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer, and that nothing else will satisfy
| the conditions. 1t may be set down as
fact that men, when sore pressed for
money, always listen to the plan that
offers relief from their pressing ne
cessities. They see in the present
stringency something unexpected and
unlocked for. After five years of de-
preston, when everything has reached
the bottom, they expect, and they have
every reason to expect, a reaction. In
asmuch as none of the predictions OF
the old guides have come true, they
have a right to distrust them when
they attempt to account for the pres
ent dizziness. All the old remedies and
excuses have fallen down one by one.
The vote of confidence was overpow-
ering, but it failed to fill the channels
of trade with the element of life.
Through the veins of commerce there
is no flowing tide. The wheels of the
manufactures do not run, and there
is no excitement in the walks of bust
ness. Men stop and ask themselves
why this is so, and if, after all, they
have been deluded. In this condition
the free silver advocate rises and ex-
claims: I told you So The claim
that wheat and silver must keep COM
pany, that seemed to be disproved last
May, is now urged with greater effect
than ever since the fiasco of Joe Letter
shows that the advance was purchased
only at the sacrifice of his fathers
fortune. Under these circumstances
the cause of free silver is making
greater progress than ever. The re-
publicans must, therefore, do some
thing to counteract this effect or the
country will be swamped by their
voters turning to the other side as
last resort and in desperation. Nc
Kinley has done well in war and di-
plomacy. Let him now turn his at
tention to Strengthening out the pres
ent tangle, and the whole country will
applaud his efforts. For the present
leaders of the finance in the ranuhlio-
an party seem to be but blind guides,
and they threaten to land us in the
ditch. Men reflect that 20
years ago or Whereabouts just such
a state of things existed, and the work
of Bland and his silver dollars, issued
at the rate of four millions a month,
rescued the country. They are ready
to try the same thing over again.

QUAY IN QUoD.
Republican BOssism Has Not Been
So Successful. of Late as
Formerly.

This seems to be a bad year for the
great bosses of the republican party.
Mark Hanna has a charge of bribery
to fight, brought against him by a COM
mittee appointed by the legislature
which he is accused of bribing.
Alger is undergoing an alleged inves-
tigation for neglect of duty as secretary
of the war department, and while that
investigation in and of itself will do
him little harm, the result will be to-
bring the Michigan millionaire before
the bar of public opinion. where justice
will be done him, and justice is what
Alger has cause to fear.
But the latest proof that this is bad
year for republican bosses comes in the
shape of dispatch from Philadelphia
announcing the arrest of Senator Mat
thew Stanley Quay upon charges of con-
spiracy to rob the commonwealth OF
of Pennsylvania by using portions of It's
deposits in the now defunct Peoples
bank for stock speculation.
Naturally enough. Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay refuses to discuss the
case, but undoubtedly, with Mark Han
ma, he is inclined to designate his ar
rest as ''piece of blank nonsense"
This case, as those against Hanna and
Alger. will be watched with interest by
the people. and it may be developed that
the reason this is bad year for repub-
lican bosses is because it is year OF
bad republican bosses.-Chicago Demo

Another wooden mill has failed

Another wooden mill has failed
under the blessings Of the protection
afforded by the Dingley law. The Ply
mouth Wooden company. of Plymouth,
Mass. has made an assignment. It is
a 16-set mill, and has been running
since 1879 in Plymouth. It was in OPP
Grafton for many years before in
Franklin, Mass. Wooden mills are clos
ing, and shoddy mills are clothing
the American people with american

is going down so that the farmers are
