THE CRIME OF 1873"

We have heard so much about The
crime of 1873. Indeed we have oeel
told that this has been thee ause of al
cur woes; that this is the aus OF so
many men being out of employment
during the last few years and lat tnis
has beer the great bar to our lat ons
prosperity, and has brought about tie
hard times that have prevailed in this
country until recently.
And yet in the face of these asse"-
tons the statistics show that in the
year, 1870, just three years before Tie
SO called crime of 1873 had been
committed, there was invested in mai
ufactures in the United States the sum
OF ST. zoo, GOO, 900. But in 1890, jus;
twenty years afterward, that sum Ia
Increased to Sc, 200, 600, 900. How Is
that for an increase? Almost for
fold. What a wonderful calamity mat
was which they attribute TO the trlme
OF 1873.
Again In 1870 the value of manufac-
tured products was SO, 400, 09O, 100. In
1890 itw as over 8 200, O00, 0J0-anGth-
er instance of the remarkable hin
drance to u country's prosperity, at
from the west, to the crime ,: 1873.
Again, in 1870, the number Of en-
ployees in these esta blishments was e.
600, 900. In 1890, the numbs' ual il.
creased to 4,500, 900. What n wonder
full increase, two and ali al tines as
many as in 1870. What a d.re'ul cal
amity from the crime of 1873?
Again, in 1870, the amount Of wages
paid to these bread winners was $780,
0G0, 900. An average of 1910 per an
mum, per head. In 1890, the whole
amoun paid vas So 200, 000, 900. An av-
elage Of $4S9 per mt each. Here
was an increase of over two fold in the
interest o fthe working men Of this
country-another result of the awful
crime of 1873.
But the truth of the matter is that
silver was not demonetized in 1873
was not then and is not now. In 1873,
after trying for 81 years to put INTO
circulation both gold and silver and es-
tablish bimetallism in this country, the
government took away the right Of
free coinage, and said that the govern
ment itself will undertake to establish
bimetallism in this country by coin ng
the silver bullion of the government in
the Treasury: 1--WE direct you to buy
not less than two nor more than four
million dollars worth Of silver every
thirty days and coin it into silver dol
lars OF 81 IA grains" For twelve
years we continued that practice, snd
from 1878 to 1890, we put in circula-
ton in this country $50, 000, 900 silver
dollars, right along side with gold.
Does that look as though the republic
car party were the enemy Of silver?
The truth of the matter is that the re-
publican party has been the best friend
silver has eyed had. 1t has in reality
been ~silver's protector and guardian

LIBERTY AND THE MILITARY
ARM IN FRANCE.

The Dreyfus case was bad enough,
but the Picquart case growing out of
it promises to be even worse. Picquart
is put into prison despite his official
station in the military of France, and
is denied communication with his
where he first met the charge against
him, he warned the people that he
would not commit suicide, and that If
he should be found dead in his cell it
murdered by order of that powerful
arm in France, the army officials.
Now comes the news that Picquart
is very sick. Probably we shall soon
lowed to see him. His family is de-
barred the poor comfort of visitation,
and not even his counsel may COM
municate with him save in the presence
and hearing of a guard. What the evil
dence against him is, is but little re-
vealed. Everything has been secretly
done, and the public has not the salts
faction Of knowing what are the proofs
made against a man accused of infa-
nous crime.
All this is the result of the domina-
ton Of the military arm in France,
nominally republic, now actually a
despotism of the most dangerous order.
1t may be laid down as law that when
a prosecution fears publicity 1t Is half

FOUR SIGNIFICANT FACTS.

There are four facts which put to-
gether render the conclusion irresisti-
BILE that Mr. Mcguire and his support
ers are playing a double part. First
is the fact that they deny that the sin
gle tax is an issue in the campaign.
Second that under Mr.. Maguire's Con-
gressional frank, single tax literature
is now being circulated widely through
out the State, in the form Of speeches
delivered by Mr. Mcguire in Congress
in advocacy Of the single tax doctrine
Third that a plank in the Democratic
platform calls for a Constitutional
amendment to be submitted to vote,
under which cities and counties may
set up their own systems of taxation.
Fourth and lastly, that in a letter
printed in the San Francisco 'Exami-
ner" in November, 1896, Mr.. Mcguire
prophesied that such an amendment
would be proposed at the approaching
Legislature, and that the moment such
an amendment is submitted, the single
tax battle viii be on in earnest"
There is no escape, therefore, from the
conclusion that when the denial is en-
tered that the single tax is an issue in
this campaign, falsifying is indulged
in, for the purpose of misleading cleo
tors, and securing votes on false pre-
lenses

if not wholly wrong. The righteous
cause does not fear the light. The
court-martial is at best dangerous
Weaponry for society. When 1T is in
voked in times of peace, and to punish
offenses against the State rather than
against military discipline and order,
it becomes an instrument of injustice
and cruelty in more cases than or
justice and truth.
1t is possible that Dreyfus is guilty,
but that he had a fair trial, fair op-
portunity to make his defense, to fully
know with what he was charged IN
time to refute falsehood and trip per-
jury, is untrue So, too, Picquart may
be guilty, but that he has been fairly
treated to this date no one living in a
free government will be so bold as to
contend.
When Dreyfus was taken into that

to assume peculiar attitudes, to write

all efforts to reduce the yearly NOR

Between 1876 and 1898 no less than
