1t is claimed by the administration

find an expression of this sentiment in

At other times the man might have
taken comfort in the thought that he
was regarded as a person of conse-
-quence in the implement house-that
the younger clerks approached him rev.

consulted by the members of the firm
whenever there was big deal on. He
might have reckoned in the list of the
blessings vouchsafed to him the Sun

Consequently he kicked the dog. The
pudgy little creature tried to get out
of his way, but was too slow, and, more
over. got so confused by the mans
brisk advance that he waddled right
against his legs. The man said Darn"
which was an expression out of all pro-

pug was impelled by its force to the

Then he howled.
The man did not exactly run, but he
walked fast and did not look behind.
He heard. a door shut and the sound
of the howling ceased, and he concluded
that the dog had been taken indoors
by his grief-stricken mistress. He
wished that he had not kicked so hard
and tried to tell himself that his cal
culation had been that the dog would
get out of the way in time to evade the
full force of the impact.
This dyspeptic man had conscience

WHAT THE GOLD MEN WANT.
Reckless In Their Greed, Reasonless
in Their Arguments and Heart
less in Their Demands.

Discussing the recent decision of the
supreme court of Michigan, which de.
c1ared the silver dollar to be an alb.
solute legal tender, gold standard or
gan says:
"While the Michigan opinion can be
Of no service to the silverites, it ought
to be of some use to the cause OF
sound money. by deepening the convic-
ton that we need legislation ending
the present ambiguity and making
gold the only unlimited legal tender
COIN"
The gold standard organ is disin-
genuous. If the decision is "of no serv-
ice to the silverites," why does the
gold standard advocate suggest that
1--WE need legislation ending the pres
ent ambiguity?''
As a matter of fact there is no am
biguity. What the gold men want is
reputation by this government of
S5O0,000,0O0 worth of legal tender
money, for which the nation has re-
ceived full value in gold at par.
No greater dishonesty could be sug-
gested; no more gigantic robbery
could be committed than this repudia-
ton. As the Chicago Democrat de-
clares, to reduce half billion of legal
tender money to the value of bullion
would be contraction of the cur
rency which would produce wide
spread disaster.
But the gold advocates are reckless
in their greed, reasonless in their ar
guments and heartless in their de-
mands. Even that radical administra-
tion paper, the New York Sun, ad-
mits that such reputation would pre-
cipitate panic, would be dishonest
and would be nothing more nor less
than a reduction by one-half in the
value of $500, ,00o,o worth of coin now
worth its face and declared to be abso-
1utely legal tender.-Illinois State
Repister

He had to get his horse up: He was
ignorant, but you-what excuse can you
offer?''
The man knew he had none. He felt
that he had forfeited his right to ex-
Spanish inquisition. He had anticipat-
ed a great deal of pleasure in inveigh-
ing at the boarding house table against
the brutality of the approaching prize
fight, but it was quite likely that by
night everybody would be informed
how he brutally kicked the pug. Per
haps, he thought, the pug had died of
its injuries. The little round body was
perhaps stiff in death, the brown eyes
glazed and sightless, the cleaning
white teeth clinched-because he had
happened to cross the path of bitter,
malevolent reincarna ton of Nero.
Allday long the mans conscience har-
ried him. 1t seemed that nobody in the
boarding house had heard about the
matter, and yet the man thought there
was distinct alteration in the bearing
of the boarders toward him. It affected
his appetite for dinner, as the memory
of the kick had destroyed his inclina-
tion for lunch.
One of the boarders spoke of the foot
ball game, and the man thought he de-
tected veiled allusion to his treatment
of the pug. Another, referring to a
companions criticism of the butter, re-
marked that ''some men would kick at
anything" and the man shuddered.
That night the man slept little. He
was wondering how the pug felt, and
wrestling with his conscience. When
from sheer WEAKNESS his eyes closed in
slumber he was disturbed with visions
of savage dogs which chased him. He
rose heavy-lidded and respondent.
There was corned beef hash for break

than brocade or satin, and when the
wedding day is over they can be con-

carried out in evening cloaks. The new

The dog was not to blame, either. This
ugliness was hereditary, and so was
the aggravatingly tight curl of his tail.
He was fat and wheezy because he was

yet he regarded the dog with a certain

THAT FLOOD OF SILVER.
Irony OF the Present Scarcity OF
Money in the White Metal
Meaning of Bimetallism.

/ Perhaps the most fortunate thing
that could have happened just at this
| time for the ultimate interests OF the
people, is the prevailing scarcity OF sill
yer money. It is of course very incon-
venient and hurtful to the retail trade
of the country, and through that to
every interest that concerns the masses
of the people; but it is an eye-opener
and will lead many doubling Thomases
into the path of wisdom in time for
next years election. The stock argu-
ment with republican and so-called
| democratic goldbug advocates has been
that if silver were remonetized we
would have flood of cheap money that
would drive gold out of the country and
put us on a silver basis. Naturally
every man who knows anything at all
about the laws that govern finances,
| knows that this would be an impossible
condition; but the argument" has
served its purpose until the existing
famine of silver currency proved its ut
| ter fallacy.
Silver and gold serve two distinct and
essential purposes, and neither can
| take the place or do the work of the
| other. And it is impossible to dispense
with either one or the other without
great public inconvenience, distress
| and loss. Gold is the money of the rich,
| of the banks, the railroad companies,
the great manufacturing plants, and
all wealthy institutions and interests.
1t is essential to their prosperity, and
| no one desires to deprive them Of a
single ounce of the yellow metal. On
the other hand, silver is the money of
the people. It is the money that pays
the hired workman, the factory girl,
the laborer on the streets, and does the
great volume of retail cash business in
all the avenues of trade. It is the
money of universal use, and can no
more be safely taken away than you
can deprive healthy man of the blood
in his veins without producing weak
ness and death.
Bimeta1lism means the right to use
either or both silver and gold, on an
established basis of equality, in order
that all classes of the people may enjoy
prosperity; the poor as well as the rich.
Present conditions prove the wisdom
of bimetallism. With silver demone-
tized and gold abundant, by reason of
new discoveries and a large foreign
trade balance, we see plethora of pros
perity among the big institutions and
the rich, and hopeless and helpless pow
erty among the masses of the people.
These are the natural results of our un-
natural and ruinous financial system,
a condition purposely created by the
imperial money lenders of England and
America, who are now engaged in
crushing and wiping out the only re-
publics in Asia and Africa, not merely
as qualification of their natural hatred
of liberty, but because they fear the
people and seek opportunity and excuse
for organizing great armies for the fu-
ture control of public sentiment in all
the nations of the world. The ultimate
object of the gold standard is the death
Of liberty and the supremacy of a
money-lending plutocracy.- Mississippi
