The Chicago Times on Horse Racing

Wherever boiled dog IS regarded as
luxury, clean shirts an abomnation, and
scalping more respectable occupation
than agriculture, there the horse race will
be found established as the highest en-
joynent The English retain much of
the savagery of their ancestry. They are
substantially the same people, save some
snobbish American imitators who indulge
in the cowardly sport of fox hunt; and
it is these people, Bstill semi-savage in
these particulars, from whom we are
forming the fashion of horse-racing and
steeple-chasing. In moral sense, the
race-horse is no more nor less than a
roulette wheel, faro deck of cards, or
any other Of the appliances employed in
gaming. The chief patrons of horse
racing are professional gamblers, as it is
to them simply variation in the kind.
When to the barbaris-.l of the race is
added cruelty that shocks the sensibil-
tiles of humane people, the atrocities
connected with the hurdle contests. the
practice should be suppressed summariy
as are other gross offences. Chicago

The Gold Conspiracy.

From Shylock.' by Gordon Clark.
Whenever there is a scarcity of
coin it has Injured to the benefit of
the creditor class. Prices have
ruled low and small sum would
purchase a good deal of raw or
manufactured material.
But the intercourse between
nations, the invention of paper
money, of bills of exchange, of bank
currency and credit-in fact all the
saving devices of modern commerce
tended to make money plenty
and prices high. Everything in
that position of affairs works
against, the creditor class and in
favor of the debtor class. This it
will be seen was beneficial ten
dency for the masses of the people.
1t compelled capitalists to increase
their efforts in order to maintain
their position. 1t favored the
debtors who are always the enter
prising part of the community.
The great money dealers of
Europe determined to reverse this
tide in affairs, this general cheap
ening of money which had been
going on for 300 years.
The money writer's and political
economists in London, Paris, Berlin,
Frankfort and Amsterdam were
either argued into these views or
were purchased outright. An i'm
mense fund was raised to bring
about the general adoption of the
gold-metal basis. Hence the articles
in the leading papers in favor of
the gold basis in preference to the
silver or mixed oasis.
OF course the object of the great
capitalists of Europe is quite ap-
parent in the crusade against silver.
BY reducing the currency one half
it would add enormously to their
wealth by cheapening products and
giving tnem still greater monopoly
of the circulating medium.
In other words the great cap
italists of the world by a gigantic
conspiracy, managed to tax the
civilized world from ten to twenty
per cent for their own personal
benefit. The object was to make
the rich richer and the poor poorer.
With silver demonetized gold
would of course appreciate consid-
erably in value, and all who were
creditors to governments or for in
dividual debts would have their
evidences of debt greatly enhanced
in value. Gold is the currency of
the rich; silver throughout the civ
ilized and upcivilized world is the
money of the great mass Of human.
ity. The small retail traffic of life
is all managed by means of silver.
BY getting rid of silver those rich
bankers added billions of dollars to
their possessions. If the facts
could ever be brought to light it
would be found that the American
congress was bribed by these CAPT
talists of Europe and this country
to get rid of the silver dollar and
substitute gold.

The capture of one fifth of the
British army in South Africa and
Beers pressing the main body on
every side, threatening its annihi-
lation or capture, is AN experience
that John Bull has not had since
he gave up fighting Americans.
The British aggression in the
Transvaai is unustifiable, but in
accordance with British policy.
The worst feature from an Amer
lean point of view is that the Eng
lish and their American friends
and imitators have trepanned
Mckinley into initiating the British
foreign policy.

Union Reform Party.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
BRENT WALLING.

The above is the State ticket of the
Union Reform party. The party has no
local ticket in this county but has full
ticket in the city of Baltimore. Double
as many signers TO its petition required
were secured i'll the city, which insures
the ticket good vote. Those who cam
not stomach the goldbug candidates on
the State tickets of both the old parties
can vote for State candidates on the
Union Reform, which will help give the
ticket right to a place on the election
ballot i'll future serving as rod over the
two old parties. especially over the Dem
ocratic party of this State, which has
acted most dastardly part with the
rank and file, through the machinery of
its bosses.
The following is the Union Reform
party platform to which no objection can
be raised by the most inveterate partisan
of any party. 1t doesn't interfere with
the principles of any party but is stop
cock to bosssm in every form and death
to the lobby
THE PLATFORM.
Direct legislation under the system known as
the initiative and referendum
Under the Initiative" the people can compel
the submission to themselves of any desired law
is thereby enacted.
Under the referendum" the people can compel
the submission to themselves of any law which
has been adopted by any legislative body when,
if such law fails to receive majority of the votes
cast, it will be thereby rejected.

If the candidates on the Democratic
ticket for the legislature are beaten it will
be largely their own fault. Nobody
knows what they stand for or what they
would represent. On the other hand
everybody knows what the opposing can
didates on the Republican ticket stand for
and what they would represent. 1t has
been proclaimed from the house-tops.
The Democratic party of Maryland almost
alone stands dumb as the Egyptian
Sphynx. The independents i'll Baltimore
are deserving the party.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and or
ganic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses of Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. Sample
