AM not going to make silver speech
have not time enough. never laid any great
claim to practical piety, but I do believe, as
firmly as any man that ever lived, in an over
ruling Providence, and believe that when God
created this world, He did nothing in vain, and
when He gave us more gold and silver than He
gave to anybody else on the face of the earth,
He intended us to use it. And yet, here we
are, the strongest nation OH the globe, with
$4,000, 900 people, with illimitable resources,
and we sit down pusillanimously, like lot of
idiots, and say tha. we are not going to coin
our own silver until we get the consent OF ev-
cry S-by-1o kingdom in Europe-some OF them
not as big as the District of Columbia; and in
doing that, we are acting with just about as
much sehse, and not one whit more, than the
man who would sit down Oh the banks of the
Mississippi river and Gle of thirst, refusing to
drink of its refreshing waters because the in
habitants of the African desert cannot come
and drink with him.-Congressma Champ

THEY EVADE THE LAW.

In recent editorial article, the Democrat
and Journal declared that the decision OF the
Supreme Court against the railroad pool would
amount to nothing, because the railroads would
find way to evade its effect. The ink was
hardly dry on the paper when this utterance
came from Henry Clews, the Wall street banker:
"There is one method of meeting the United
States supreme court decision by the railroad
managers. They can form social clubs at the
various great railroad centers and there have
casual meetings and arrange mutual under
standing as gentlemen do in matters connected
with social life, and thereby be bound by word
of mouth, which gentlemen recognize the same
as though in legal document FORM There IS
no doubt that the railroad managers are much
perplexed by the harsh decision of the supreme
court, but they claim that the roads are now SO
busy that the effects of the decision will not
hurt them now; but it certainly will do SO when
business slackens off unless some method IS
adopted to hold them together through bond
of honor or otherwise, as without it the roads
will strike out as in times gone by for each
others customers" p"
There is only one way i'll which the railroads
can be prevented from running the Govern
ment and that is for the Government to own
and operate the railroads. This is one of the
great issues of the near future, and it will be
pushed ana won by the people.-Mississlpp
Valley Democrat and Journal.
