there were, in the breasts of timid men
in regard to the vitality OF the silver
question as an issue in our politics.
1t demonstrates beyond question that
the work of education on the money
question has made great strides since
the campaign of 1896, and that the
bimetallists at least understand the
forces that are responsible for the
formation of the modern gigantic in
dustrial combinations called trusts.
When the masterful discussion of the
economic disturbances of our timo and
their cause that was presented by the
distinguished speakers who addressed
the meetings at Louisville are con-
trasted with the shallow, sickly, limp
ing arguments made against trusts in
the gold press, the contrast is calcu-
lated to soften our hearts and cause
pity to dwell therein.
All bimetallists have cause to rejoice
over the grand demonstration at Louis
vile. Three things were demonstrated
beyond question at the Louisville
meeting. The first is that bime:allism
is stronger with the American people
to-day than ever before, and The Sec
ond is that the Chicago platform has
gained steadily in the affections of the
people, and the third was that Bryan
is the only candidate in the minds of
the people for 1900, his presence cre-
ating as much enthusiasm as if already
nominated.
Those who are informed upon the
money question understand the excep-
tional conditions which have operated
during the past two years to make
conditions under the gold standard toll
erable, and realize that they are not
likely to occur again soon. They also
realize that the determination of the
banks to form paper money trust,
usurp the functions of the government
and acquire the power to plunder the
people at will, has not abated an iota.
They understand that the multiplica-
tion of trusts has simpl1fied and aug
mented the power of the banks to
compel capital represented by these
combinations to do their bidding. In
fact, the men who attended the Louis
vile meeting are the men of all men
who are equipped to lead the fight
against monopoly and special privilege
because they understand the cause and
the cure for the giant evils that are so
rapidly eliminating in obedience to
inexorable law. The test of science is
to correctly forecast events in accord
ance with laws deduced from exper-
ience. The bimetallists are familiar
with the phenomena that has invar-
iably repeated itself Under certain
economic conditions. They predicted |

two years ago what has since taken
place are and now able to forecast the
future more correctly than before. The
trusts and combines that are being
formed are not surprises to them
And should the people now fail to
arouse themselves and throw off the
deadly incubus that is settling itself
upon the country the bimetallists will
not be taken by surprise when the
monster militarism shakes its CORY
locks across the path of freemen to the
ballot box at no distant day.
We rejoice in the decision of the
Ohio Valley Bimetallic League to ex-
tend its organization into all the states
and prepare for active service in the
caucuses and conventions of next year.
The National Watchnaan congratulates
the officers Of the league upon their
success in the past and their prospects
for the future and tenders the use OF
its columns to aid them in their work.

Queer Democratic Doctrine.

The Philadelphia Times, which vain
ly imagines itself to be a Democratic
paper, says:
'And now while everything is COM
ing the American way why should
there be any further delay about get
ting rid of the endless chain paper
currency and permitting the Treasury
to go out of the paper currency busi-
ness entirely? While our money is on
the gold basis for all practical pur-
poses, the retirement of the greenback
currency and the substitution of a
sound bank currency would put an end
to all future peril from this source"
With the government in honest
hands, as it will be after Mr.. Bryan's
inauguration in 1901, there will be no
more danger from the "endless chain"
on account of greenbacks than there
would be from ..sound bank curren-
cy." Bryan will make all money
authorized by the Government,''sound"
money and ''good" money. inter-
changeable at par at the convenience
of the Government. That is to say, If
a smooth individual should go to the
Treasury with roll of greenbacks for
the purpose of drawing out gold and
starting an endless chain, he would be
politely informed that the treasury
was little short Of gold that day and
they would pay part of the amount in
gold and part in silver, as they do in
France. That would stop the endless
chain on the instant The greenbacks
received from the smooth individual
would be Immediately paid out again
in exchange for services rendered or
other obligations of the Government,
and thus we would have perfect in
terchangeable or swappable currency
as good as gold and constantly in cir
culation. No party can face the voters
of this country on any sort OF q propo-
sition to substitute bank shinplasters
for Government bills, and no man or
paper that knows anything about
Democracy would suggest such an in
famous measure. - Mississippi Hdlley

,ose of the couspirators was the estab-

pose of the couspirators was the estab-
in America of an Anglo-Saxon
white slavery and the adoption of a
form of government similar to the
English Imperial system. Astounding
as these claims are, the contemplated
series of articles will prove their can
did truth, and if the Monocrats are not
defeated in 1900 they will yet accom-
plish their purpose. The trust move
ment, the conquest of foreign nations,
and the permanent establishment OF a
large army, are all part and parcel OF
the main central object. = Mississippi

A FORTUNATE REPLY.

The Duke of Ossuna, who during his
long career a. Viceroy of Naples was
distinguished a. much for his sound
good sense In small matters as In those
larger questions OF statesmsnship which
made him one Of the foremost men OF
Europe, once paid q visit to the Cape
galley at Barcelona. As he passed In
and out among the crew Of slaves he
questioned several OF them regarding
their offences for which they were so
laboriously paying the penalties. Each
had plenty Of excuses. One said he had
been sent there from spite; another as
serted that the judge who sentenced him
had been bribed; still another declared
that his being there WAS all mistake,
and that he was suffering for the crime
Of which his brother was guilty.
At last the Duke came to stout little
black fellow Of whom he asked,

Kingston resounded with the mad

In on each other and proceeded to

resulted In both Of them falling to the

WALKING ERECT.

Very few persons walk we'll. Most Of
as, IL We accept the evolution hypothesis,
still retain some Of the gait Of our apish
ancestors. The tot toddlekin, as he be-
gins TO balance himself on two feet,
sways from one side to the other more
or less like monkey. The little girl of
six summers, with her pretty new dress
on, walks as straight and elegantly 40
ever she will. Her little feet are thrown
forward with an elasticity peculiar to
that age. The little girl OF thirteen be-
gins to be careless, bends her back for
ward, and goes diving into the school
room as II she were going TO swim. At
sixteen she steps along with short steps,
striking her heels hard on the floor with
don't-csre-for-snybody sort of walk.
At eighteen she thinks more of her gait
aud tries to recall that Of her earliest
childhood. The boy of eleven, with his
new thick boots, plants his foot like u
soldier, and never knows that his boots
disturb anybody. Many children are
taught at home and at school to walk on
their toes. This will do In q sick room
when one has squesking shoes, but Il is
not natural or elegant. Put the heels
down lightly at first and the toes last;
this keeps the body erect, instead OF
bending the body forward, a. q person
should be more thoroughly taught 10
our gymnsstic schools. IL costs little to
learn to walk correctly, and It IL well
worth while to spend time to acquire the
art.-Evening Telegram.
