NOT A GOLDBUO.
Abraham Lincoln Did not Favor the
Gold Monopoly.

Gold Monopoly.
When the writer Of this article came
to Washington In the winter OF 1864.
IS as senator from the new state OF
Nevada, he was received by President
Lincoln in the most cordial manner
Mr. Lincoln said:
Il am glad to see you here, rep.
resent1ng the new mining state OF
Nevada. | have watched with solicit
tude the development Of the mines OF
gold and silver in the west during all
the time we have been taxing the re-
sources OF the country to the last OK
tremity to prosecute the war. The
fact that when the output Of gold ap-
peared to be declining the great sill
yer mines Of Nevada were discovered
seemed Proyidential. The people can
hardly realize the great support which
the mines OF the west have already
been to the credit Of the United States,
and believe we may reasonably an.
ticipate from the development which
is taking place in that region that our
mines will not only continue to furnish
a basis Of credit. but will greatly re.
heve the burdens of the people in pay
Ing of the national debt.
When we contrast the real views and
sentiments Of Mr.. Lincoln with regard
to the use Of both gold and silver az
money and his kindly efforts to as
sist IN developing the gold and silver
mines Of the west we are shocked to
read the orations delivered on biz
birthday 1t is assumed that he was
friend Of Wall and Lombard streets,
and In favor OF destroying silver
money and reducing the world to tho
single gold standard under the false
pretense Of maintaining the credit Of
the country. It is painful to contrast
the sentiments constantly expressed BY
the leaders Of the Republican party
and the gold press towards the min
Ing regions Of the west.
When Lincoln was president the
miners OF the west were treated with
kindness and consideration In every
part Of the country No one then de-
nounced silver miners as robbers, at
tempting to get something for moth.
Ing; no one then said that they were
silver barons," attempting to swindle
the government. The fact that the
goldites have found 1t necessary to
abuse and slander the pioneers OF the
west can only be accounted for by that
element in human nature which leads
men who have wronged their neigh
bors to speak i'll OF them to justify tho
wrong. The miners OF the west need
have no hope that the goldites Of Wall
and Lombard streets will forgive them
for the injury done them. We must
remember the Spanish proverb, which
is as true now as It was when first Ut
tered, that no man ever forgives an.
othSr for the injuries he has indicted
upon him. William M. Stewart.

Getting Ont of DehtW

Perhaps the most attractive feature
Of the Sound" money theory is the
proposal to "get this country out of
debt"
How do the able financiers Of tho
Republican party propose to get this
nation out OF debt? Simply by redeem
ing all Of its non-interest-be bearing notes
with interest bearing obligations. The
theory is beautiful in its ingenious
simplicity.
What would be thought of the bus,.
ness ability Of merchant who, having
creditors perfectly satisfied with his
notes Of hand, bearing no interest
should say: Gentlemen, 1t is true
you are finding no fault with my notes,
and are, indeed, anxious to get more
OF them, although they bear no inter.
est, yet have resolved to call all Of
those notes in and to give you interest.
bearing paper, which 1 agree to redeem
or which my children or great srand.
children Will redeem in gold?"
Such a, course Of conduct would be
considered foolish. unnecessary and
unbusinesslike. But It Is exactly such
course as that which is advocated
by the gold clique, who wish to retire
government paper by refunding it IN
interest-bearing gold bonds.
Every dollar Of United States money
Is just as good for all purposes IN
this country as every other dollar and
100 cents in gold will buy no moro
than 100 cents In silver, or In manor
Who is it, then who wants goldq Tho
man who deals in money alone tho
gold speculator, the exporter anG tha
bondholder.
These are the men who have evolved
the brilliant theory OF paying q deb,

A Great RevulsIon of Sentiment.

The great bulk of the men employed
by the Wheeling Iron and Steel COM
pany at Benwood, W. Va, are Repub-
licans, as is the case in most of the
Wheeling district iron works. Pic
lures OF President Mckinley and car
toons representing the opening of the
mills as against the opening of the
mints were numerous about the plant
in the 'a6 campaign. Since then the
mems wages have been cut twice and
another cut is pending. During a
meeting in the big machine shop re-
Gently some of the men in speaking
pointed to a picture of President Nc
Kinley and spoke smilingly of return
ed prosperity. Instantly the big pic
ture was pulled down, torn to shreds
and trampled under foot amid round
of cheers.

wages Of the workingman don't depend
upon the wealth OF the boss or on the
climate. The wages Of tho working
men are the price Of his labor; the
price Of all merchandise depends upon
the supply and the demand; the more
workers there are in place the larger
is the supply, and the lower are the
wages. When President Dole tries to
get you and other gudgeons TO go to
Hawaii, he does so to raise the supply
OF labor there and thus lower the
wages. II he can get enough such
gulls as you to 90 there you will have
the chance to run about without work.
and the enjoyment OF Hawaii's SUBJ
tropical climate as the only thing to
live on.

Abraham Lincoln said Thank God

can be strike. Whatever the press
ure, there is a point at which the
workingman may stop" Which is
where President Lincoln differed from
the federal courts of today.
An association has been formed In
New York city for the public control
OF franchises, incorporated under the
laws OF the state. The object Of the
association ia set forth In its platform
as follows: l.. All franchises which de-
pend upon exclusive rights In public
property should be granted only for
public purposes and for limited perl
oos, and should be made to contribute
from their value, created by the COM
munity, their full share Of public ex-
penses, thus relieving personal proper
~ buildings and other Improvements
from the increasing burden OF taxes.
z. Monopoly, the result Of special priv
llese, rather than capital or produc-
ton, which are the creation of indi-
Vlauai effort. should be the primary
source OF public revenue. 3. The gov
efhment must control natural monop-
oiles (those public services which,
from their nature, do not admit OF COM
petltion), otherwise these monopolies
Will control the government 4. Such
public services as are not natural
monopolies should be preserved to free
and open competition. This Is the
single tax platform in brief.
When the people govern and plutoc.
racy has been driven from power and
banished, Populism will have fulfilled
It's mission.
We like high wheat prices as we'll as
the Republicans; better, probably, as
Populists have more wheat to sell
than Republicans. That is why we all
shall object tn the low price at which
wheat will sell next fall. and every
succeeding fall when there are no
great crop failures as long as we suf
Ter from the single gold standard
IN the meantime, Accent cotton for
the farmers OF the south, together with
nigh prices for trust-produced cotton
fabrics and reduced wages for the cot
ton mill operatives, are fair samples
OF the workings OF the present finan-
cial policy. There will have to be 2
change in this policy before many
years have passed

people all the time," but | am about

 The Methodists of Chica go are look ing for a location on which to erect an old peoples home. The institution win be a combination of two similar lines of work now being carried on under Methodist auspices.
 The Evangelical alliance has just begun the publication of series of leaflets entitled Truths for the Times," which are to be distributed by the va rious organizations of young people, such as the Christian Endeavor society and Epworth league.
 Maj.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

-Republicans have pledged the honor of their party" so often that a republican ballot suggests pawn tick et.-Chicago Dispatch.
 The Dingley bill deficit for the current month will be about $6,000,00 Fortunately the Kansas Pacific railroad is to be auctioned off about the 23d inst, so that we shall still have balance on the right side of the ledger.-Chicago Chronicle.
 Mir. Dingley wants to so amend the constitution of the United States that the man who has to work for a living will be compelled to go hungry if hls labor amounts to more than the protected industries can profitably em- ploy.-St. Louis Republic.
 Now MT. Mckinley finds that MT. Hanna promised everything to everybody in the recent Ohio campaign, and the president cannot keep the "con- tracts" made by the Cleveland boss un- less few score of offices are created right away.-St. Paul Globe.
 Again we are assured that the Dingley tariff has nothing to do with the strikes in the New England cotton mills. Senator Hoar says it has not, and he knows. But it is curious how often the republicans feel called upon to vol unteer this information.-N. Y. Post.
 We hear great deal of the prog ress that the cause of "sound money is making throughout the country; if these recent votes in the two houses Of congress be taken as a criterion of the progress of "sound money" the prog ress it is making is evidently after the manner of the crab, backward.-N. O. Times Democrat.
 The McHannaites still labor frantically to explain the great wage reduction in New England. They brand as an infamous anarchist anybody who dares to remind them how they prom ,sed unprecedented prosperity to the very workingmen that are now in mis- cry. As branders, the Dingley-billers are not less successful than as prosper i,v restore City Times.

Themselves to Blame.

The sound money" people are abso- lutely without justification in their yell that the bimetallists, by this resolu- ton, are disturbing the previously exist irg financial quietude. Whatever disturb. ance, if any, there is, has been set agoing the "sound money" people themselves. They have had Secretary of the Treas ury Gage running around with his prop osition to commit the government more thoroughly to the single gold standard" and they have had their house committee on banking and cur rency fixing up bill to give embodi- ment to the Gage idea-all this before the Teller resolution was so much as thought of. Secretary Gage and they lave been planning quite change in the currency status, whereas the. Teller resolution is only the reaffirmation in more specific terms of law which has been in existence for quarter of a century. If there be any financial dis turbance, therefore-which we very much doubt-it is plainly the ''sound money" people themselves and not the bimetallists who are the cause of it. N 0. Tines-Densoerst
