Bryan's Views on Expansion.

1t is very apparent that Bryan is a thorn
in the goldbug's side. Despite the efforts
of the bugs newspapers to pooh pooh
him and then to misrepresent and place a
construction on his language that it will
not bear, they are unable to disguise the
restiveness his short interviews on the
Expansion question" cause
Col. Bryar's terse, short and honest
expressions OH the territorial problem
are so plain that the goldbug organs find
it impossible to pick any flaws in them.
His expressions are so entirely different
from the rhetorical platitudes of McKin-
ley that the latter's forid nothings and
Bryan's undiplomatic, plain speaking,
and wise views of the subject, form such
vivid contrast that the plain .ople
readily note it. When asked for his views
on the future of the Philippines and the
relation of this government towards them,
at Omaha, Col. Bryan said he thought il
Congress would adopt resolution pledg.
ing this government to keep the Philip
pines only as trust for their people, as
we do Cuba, until stable government is
established, the expansion issue would be
at an end. If, however, the question is
not settled in some such way as this he
said it would continue to be matter Of
discussion until it was disposed of, and,
therefore, would remain one of the issues
before the people.
We venture to say that these views are
entertained by large majoritory of the
people of the United States who have
taken the trouble, or are capable of FORM
ing an opinion on the subject. The
honesty and common sense of Bryan in
everything he says finds its way to the
minds and hearts Of the plain people.

Sound Money.

Secretary Gage in his Report to Con.
gress gives his views of sound money
which has been the stock argument ofthe
banker class of politicians for Lo these
many years. Mr.. Gage complains that
the greenbacks and national bank notes
are too sound, too good money; the
greenbacks because they are legal tenders
and the national bank currency because
it is endorsed by the government or bot
toned on government bonds. Being both
Sound money" as gold they collect in
the money centers and the country dis
tricts are depleted of their currency, aud
spectators use it. For this reason-that
IS the soundness Of this national money
it is not flexible, and the Secretary advises
the destruction of the greenbacks and a
free issue of bank notes based OH the
assets OF the banks.
This bank note currency based on such
security as bank assets would have a
doubt cast upon its soundness, and would
find its way back to the bank Of issue as
rapidly as check. This would prevent
the congestion of money in the centers
while the circumference is depleted. A
national bank note issued by a bank in
Texas is as good in Maine or Wisconsin
as at the bank of issue, and consequently
there is no incentive to hurry it back to
the bank of issue.
The gist of all this is that the govern
ment greenback is legal tender any
where and as good as gold, and the bank
ers want it destroyed and its place filled
with bank bills that people would be
afraid to lock up but would keep them
moving.
In short the war on government legal
tenders is because they are too sound aud
fill place i'll our currency that only could
be filled with gold. and that it is not pos
sible to accomplish. The sound money
theory that has vexed the ears of the
public so long is desire ON the part of
the banks to reinaugurate as near as pos
sible the old State, wild cat bank system
disguised under the name of national
The cat can always be found in this

rormon Roberts.

Mormon Roberts, the Congressman from
Utah with his three wives, talks right up
to the women societies which protest
against the Congress ofthe United States
being defiled by polygamy. The polyg.
amist answers them defiantly from the
Bible, which they all claim to be inspired.
He tells them that Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob were Gods chosen people and they,
as we'll as all the patriarchs, were polyg-
amists. And if these latter-day Christians
dare to insult that old cowboy patriarch,
Abraham, through the latter-day saint,
Roberts, for copying the marital practice
of the ancient patriarchs, that not one of
them need expect resting place on
Abraham's bosom.
1t does seem that the man with the trio
of wives was giving the ladies the hot end
Of the poker to hold, when it is remem-
bered that these old prophets and patri-
archs claim to have had direct orders from
the Lord, for they generally close their
revelations with the declaration "thus
sayeth the Lord"
The three wives whom Roberts proposes
to introduce to Washington society are
not prepossessing specimens of femininity
if the newspapers picture them faithfully,
but very common looking baggages. They
are evidently of low extraction, but what
else could be expected of three such
harpies3 Anything goes in Congress,
however, and Roberts will get his seat.

The national banks in 1890 had on de-

President Mckinley is wanted by 1

President Mckinley is wanted by the
politicians of the Hub to make tour OF
the New England States similar to his
western and southern swing round the
circle as Andy Johnson called such
electioneering tours. These old political
tricks of the President will hardly serve to
fool the people. He now stands out in
the open by virtue Of the high office he
fills and all his acts are closely scruti-
nized, and as is invariably the case, the
most charitable construction will not be
placed upon them, by either friends or
opponents.
