THE SOUND MOSEY ISSUE

PERTINENT AND EXCEEDINGLY PER"PLE/ING QUESTION TO REPUBLICANS.

Politicinns of tliCi Republican fi'iVrsuasion from (liferent soctions of the state in consultation, have decided that the main issue in the campaign shall be the silver issue, "without entering into the discussion of the war administration or any other question." It is not to be presumed that the "silver issue" is to bo the only issue, however ardently the Republican party may desire only one issue. But if the Democratic party should deem it prudent to accomodate the Republican party in this regard, sufficient facts will be submitted to the people on the silver issue, to make the situation exceedingly interesting to the gold staudard "souud money" Pnilistines.

In the outset the inquiry, what is meant by "sound money?" is pertinent and exceedingly perplexing to the Republican parry. The most distinguished men ot' the party, in answering the question, are driven nolens volens by the constitution and the laws enacted in conformity with the constitution, as also the history of the government since its foundation down to 1873, to admit that "soun I money" is coin, and that the term "coin" relates to silver dollars as certainly as to gold dollars. Hence, silver dollars are "souud mouey," and every effort of the Republican part^, since 187'i, to rob silver dollars of their right to be regarded as "sound money," have utterly failed.

Necessarily the discussion of the "silver issue" requires reference to the financial policy of the Republican fraud upon the people perpetrated in 1873, intended to establish the gold standard, and which, discarding the government option to pay government obligations, principal and interest, in gold and silver, and paying them in gold, practically did establish the gold standard, but always in derogation of the welfare of the people and the rights oif silver— but, as has been remarked, never for an hour maly.ng fhe silver dollar less than sound money.

In 1M9 an act was passed to "strengthen the public credit," which the Republican p'U'ty hoped would discredit silver aa "suuud .nowy, but instead, the act confirmed the sojind mouey quality of silver, by making all the obligations of the government, the payment of which in the absence of a stipulation to pay in "lawful money or other currency," should be paid in "coin" or gold and silver.

In this very act designed to strengthen the public credit, silver, as sound money, was explicitly declaTed. The next move was to pass an act providing for the resumption of specie payments, and authorizing the secretary of tho treasury to redeem United States notes in "coin," or in gold and silver. Hero again the "souud money" quality of silver dollars was declared. But the gold standard advocates, as persistent as everv sought to have tho term "coin" expunged from the bonds of the government and tho word "gold" substituted. It was a desperate move and, had they succeeded, silver would have fallen to almost helpless degredation and would have ceased to be "sound money." But they did not succeed. On the contrary, they met with a Waterloo defeat, as is shown by tlie following joint resolution passed by congress in 1878, five years subsequent to the fraud perpetrated in 1873:

That all ot the bonds of the United States issued, or authorized to be issued, under the said acts of congress herein before recited, ure payable, principal and interest, at the option of the government of the United Slates, in silver dollars, of the coinage of the United States, containing 412£ grains each of standard silver and that to restore to ifcB coiuage such silver coins as a legal tender in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith, nor in derogation of the rights of the public creditor.

Here again the "sound money" quality of silver dollars was specifically' recognized by congress, a fact which no Republican will dare to ooutradict. It is a fortress of truth, which has withstood and will continue to resist every attack made upon it. But, again on the "sound money" issue about which Republicans anticipate an easy victory, it is worth while to state that on Feb. 28, 1878, an act of congress was passed relating to the coiuage of silver dollars, and reads as follows:

That there shall be coined, at the several mints of the United States, silver dollars of the weight of 412^ grains troy of standard silver, as provided in the act of Jan. 18, 1837, on which shall be the devices and supersoriptions provided by said act which coins, together with all silver dollars heretofore coined by the United States, of like weight and fineness, shall be a legal tender, at their nominal value, for all debts aud dues, public and private, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contract. And the secretary of the treasury is authorized and directed to purchase, from time to time, silver bullion, at the market price thereof, not less than $2,000,000 worth per month, nor more than $4,000,000 worth per month, and cause the same to be ooined monthly, as fast as so purchased, into such dollars.

Thia testimony is absolutely conclusive. By the aots of congress the silver dollar is as sound as the gold dollar or any other gold coin. It is a legal tender in-all cases where gold is a legal tender. It is not redeemable in gold, and at the legal ratio of 16 to 1 possesses all the debt paying qualities claimed for gold. More oould be said along this Un« of fact and argument, but enough been said to utterly oonfase and oonfomnd Republican8, ^fho may havt tli? gall aud guile to attempt to shon

that the silver dollar now in circulation is not every whit as sound, as firmly established

a^ a

coin, as fixed in the con­

fidence of th" American peoplo as are the .lc crtiiii

it'

the government.

It wili be weli it' the people bear these facts in mind when Republicans seek to mislead them with regard to what constitute,s "sound money," and to ask them to explain in what regard gold possesses soundness which does not equally attach to silver? It is one of the inquiries they will not answer by facts, and which they cannot answer by argument. Instead of one or the other they resort to word jugglery about gold pariiv, foreign countries, the "50-ceut dollar" and other twaddle with which they hope confuse the subject and perperuare the reign of the Republican party. Bat the rank aud file of the people, who see little gold and vastly more silver, are becoming satisfied that- their interests can bo greatly promoted by the coinage of more silver dollars, aud that the prosperity of the country cannot be established upon an enduring bases by a financial policy which seek* to strike down and degrade one-half of the coin currency of the nation.

FROM 1896 TO 1898

CAMPAIGN OF 1896 A NOTABLE EVENT IN AMERICAN POLITICS.

nujre Corruption Fund of tho Republicans Turn«l Over to Mark Haiiuu—Kuglimd'* Interest In the WelTure of the

United States Not Kntiri-ly Unselfish. Will lie No Division of Uemocriits Iu Indiana Tliis Year.

The campaign of 1896 was iu ail regards a notable event in American politics. It was practically a siugle issue campaign, which may be variously stated without doing violence to history. It was a campaign of bimetallism against monometallism, a campaign of Democracy against plutocracy, a campaign of the silver dollar against the single gold standard and a campaign of America against England and all foreign nations which seek to shape the fiuancial policy of the United States of America.

It was a notable campaigu in other regards. To defeat the honestly expressed will of the American people, a huge corruption campaign fund was created by the liberality of trusts and placed in the hands of Marcus Aurelius Hanna, a political knave, for distribution "where it would do the most good." That is to say, whero its debauching influence would secure the largest number of votes for McKinley. Aud that its potency was all that was expected by those who supplied the money, goes without tho saying. History repeats itself. The campaigu of 1898, though not "national" in the sense that the campaign of 1896 was national, is ueverthe less, national, because it is a campaign in which bimetallism—silver and gold, free and unlimited coiuage of silver vs. demonetization—and the United States against dictation from any foreign power relating to our financial policy is up for debate and decision at the polls.

We have heard much of late of England's anxiety to form some sort of an alliance with the United States, upon the theory that the two nations, banded together, would be able to sway a scepter of universal empire. England cares nothiug about our form of government, nothing whatever, whether it is democratic or plutocratic she simply wants to know if the financial policy of the country is in consonance with her views upon that important subject. If the United States, under the sway of British influence and British gold, creates and maintains the gold staudard, British statesmen discover iu that one fact that tlie United States has yielded to her superior will, and that being ONE on the gold standard question, the chief obstacle to some other form of alliance is removed, aud evidently looks forward with serene coinplaicency to a time when our Benedict Arnolds will stand forth as the chiefs of our trusts and syndicates when they exploit their views iu and out of congress, and British spies, instead of being arrested and hung, will continue their quest for American girls, the daughters of our Arnolds, aud carry their matrimonial swag to England to build aud repair castles and bring the two nations into such harmonious relaunder the gold staudard, that in case of an election of a president, the Rothchilds and British lords, barons aud other titled aristocrats will contribute as liberally to a corruption fund as any of the pards of Hanna, or any of the pets of the Dingley law.

It were supreme folly to mince matters. The patriotic men of the United States are engaged in a war of emancipation from British domination, in shaping a financial policy, a policy ruinous to the producing classes oi he country, and which, as has been repeatedly declared in congress and out congress by capable men, as a policy which plaoes the liberties of the people and our free institutions in peril. It is known, and has been repeatedly declared, that those who are working to permanently establish the gold standard in the United States ore cheek by jowl, hand in hand, with the money barons of England and are, therefore, obnoxious to the charge of being American tories working to establish British supremacy iu our financial policy, to create and perpetuate a gold standard, as treasonable to the welfare of our people as if, the demand were made to tear from its anchorage the constitution and substitute for it an edict of the autocrat of Russia. What is there to prevent the consummation of a scheme so nefarious in its woof and warp The answer is, nothing under heaven but the patriotism, the integrity, the independent spirit and intelligent* of the American people.

It were folly to deny that in 1896 a large number of Democrats in Indiana

abandoned the Democratic party. Tliey I had been good and true aud strong and trusted Democrats. They were, doubtless, conscientious and bolieved that they were acting for the best, at least such is the generour theofy of thousands of their old coinrades, who, as Joseph E. McDonald was wont to say, "have fought a hundred battles for the Democratic party, aud never one against it." And now, if reports are true, thousands of these Democrats who wandered away are coming back to the old fold. Nothing could be more natural, or more in keeping with the eternal fitness of things. They have found the Republican camp unhealthy, as pestilential and objectionable as Colonel Studebaker's description of Camp Tampa.

As a campaign manager they cannot indorse Mark Hanna, and as for McKinley, his piety is as full of blowholes as Carnegie's armorplates. Memories of the good old Democratic ships, on whose quarterdeck Jefferson and Jackson had walked in command, was too sacred to be thrown into the limbo of Republican odds and ends, and 1,000 times, doubtless, during their captivity they remembered the old battleship bearing the "Flag of tne free hearts' hope aud home," cleared for action and bearing down upon the enemy, and recalled the shouts of Democratic hosts as victory after victory was gained for good government, they have resolved to return to their old home, and who so blind and bigdted as to say them, "nay." Not one, let them come to swell the chorus, when in fancy the good old ship, that nas withstood the gales aud the billows is seen with vision almost divine, and when Deiu jcratio hosts in chorus, exclaim: j:, .. We know what matter laid thy keel, 'Wlmt workmen wro'.i?ht tliy rii.-s of steel, inai.e ea'-h must, ami sail and rope, ii'ivils mug, what Hammers beat, l.i \. iiai a l'oiije and what a hwat

M'idKLEY AND ALGER

LATT.ER'S MANAGEMENT OF THE W API DEPARTMENT

I*rolu'Mvn nf Cyclones of National Indonation— Rf.isous Why tlie President »«l Him Secretary »(''War, KnowiiiK* ttv-cor«l That Is on File Against

General A'jjer Now In tho Archives of the Government, v-'-J- v-i

The management of the war depart meiit, under the official control of Secretary Alger, lias been productive of cyclones of national indignation such as the country never before experienced.

Tu shield General Alger a heartless clique, aided by a subsidized press, has been engaged in extenuating the criminal blunders of the war department. The facts set forth embody a series of horrors which have become more appalling the more the misguided friends of Alger have sought to obscure them. The idiotic subterfuge, that the arraignment of Alger and the war department, originated in malice, a purpose to make political capital out ot conditions which have shocked the country "ironi center to circumference, has had tlie effect to still further intensify the uuivi rsal conviction, that thousands of lives and untold sufferings have resulted trom iguorance, neglect, red tape, stupidity, cupidity and the general demoralization of the war department.

Iii this connection an appeal is made to history to show that G-ene.i.l Alger ought not to nave beet made «uore ary of war. was a general in the civil war, and, upon a grave charge, was subjected to arraignment before a courrmartial which sentenced him to be discharged from the army, or, in other words, "recommended" that he should be discharged from the army. Tho fact stands us a pare of Alger's army record. This one black aud "damned spot" has not been expunged, and those WHO constituted the court and rendered tne verdict refuse to change it or intimate that it was less than just.

President McKinley knew all the facts. The records were at his command, and yet he took the responsibility of piacing this man with a tarnished military record, this man whom a courtmartial recommended should be discharged from the army of tho United States, and placed him where he could once more commit still graver offenses, and extort from th3 high court of public opinion the verdict that he ought never to have been made secretary of war and tjjaf he ought to be dismissed from the office!"

President McKinley is alone responsible tor the appointmeut cf General Alger as secretary of war. The mere foot that the senate confirmed the appointment cuts no figure in the shameful business, and it is but justice to say that whatever wrongs have been committed by the war department under Algeria administration McKinley is jiiutly responsible, iu faot, primarily responsible, because, with his eyes wide open, and with Alger's leopard record before him, he placed him in command of the department.

In investigations relating to great crimes one supreme purpose on the part of courts, attorneys and the people is to find a motive for their commission, and the quest is seldom abortive, hence the query: What was McKinley's motive in selecting Alger to be his secretary of war There is not the remotest probability that McKinley will ever disclose his reason for an act that to others is utterly inexplicable. Nevertheless, the people will investigate as best they may and arrive at such conclusions as surface indications make plausible.

General Alger is reputed to be a man of large wealth. To elect McKinley president required a corruption fund of

ftstouudinjf proportions, running up into the millions. The colossal knaves who solicted the funds with which to debauch the election oJ 1896, had to appeal to men of large wealth, and to secure contributions was required to pledge rewards. Somo were secured by the promise of rewards through the operations of a high protective tariff, by which all the money subscribed to debauch the nation would bo returned to them by a robber tariff, suoli as the Dingley law. Others were promised contracts by which they might rob the government, others by appointment of favorites to fat offices. But iu the case of Alger, if he subscribed liberally, as he doubtless did, what could Mark Hanna promise him that would induce him to bleed freely? He was liviug, and was distained to die with a blotched military record and a damaging verdict attached to it. Aud he was doubtless promised as a reward for his contribution, the office of secretary of war. In that position he would outrank the military officers who had recommended his dismissal from the American army—a disgrace he had beeu required to wear for many years. He secured the coveted boon, and when the war opened with Spain, began to exhibit his incapacity which finally resuited iu such a multitude of horrors as to defy exaggeration.

He stemmed the tide and faced the storm as long as he could. The miserable twaddle about "yellow journalism" and "irresponsible newspaper reports" failed to meet the demand. The recitation of stale history about sufferings in other wars, historic and prehistoric, instead of being apologies for the horrors which the war with Spain presented, only intensified the nation's detestation of Alger's administration of the war department, in which McKinley and Alger are jointly responsible.

If Alger is responsible for the acts of incompetent snoordiuutes, McKinley is equally responsible for the appointment of an incompetent secretary of war, who is his subordinate. If it is affirmed that Alger should have appointed competent men, iris equally, indeed, more important that McKinley should have appointed a competent secretary of war. In this, it is seen that the original blunder was made by the president. And thus it happens, that owing to McKinley's blunder iu appointing Alger secretary ot war, horrors have followed horrors, as waves follow waves in a storm.

A commission to investigate these horrors has been appointed—McKinley could no longer withstand the pressure. The exasperation of the people had reached a white heat, and, after weeks of delay, it is possible that- the real culprits will be whit. washed, while some obscure scapegoats will be lound to sink beneath a burden or obloquy which should have been eternally fastened upon the backs of others.

There is a disposition to shield McKinley, but the administration of the war department is a part of his administration. The faults are not all Alger's, however incompetent he may be. He acted under the directions of the president. Of himself he could do nothing, aud Washington letter writers for Republican papers grow eloquent as tliey state the instances iu which Alger's recommendations were ignored by McKinley. The two men are indissolubly joined together, they are the Siamese twins of war—they must hang together —and, as the investigation proceeds, the more it will be -seen that, as an incapable. McKinley is fully abreast of his secretary of war.

ilia-, tlie war upon silver is dictated by goldbugs WHO desire to control the finances of tlie country for their own selfish ends, a species of piracy all the more dangerous aud nefarious, because of the intention to legalize the infamy.

That the battle now on for the free and unlimited coinage of silver is not only wise as a financial theory, but involves the perpetuity of the liberty of the people and of our free institutions.

Keep it before the people that the battle now on for the free and unlimited coiuage of silver is a battle for the right and will be fought out to the bitter end regardless of consequences.

The man who breaks in the wild, vicious bronchos on the western plains must have superb physical endurance, nerves of .steej, unconquerable L^v determination and persistency. The

city or town bred man who has all his life humped his back over a desk, living an unhealthy, sedentary lift and failed to take any care of his health, could not stay on the back of one of these vicious brutes for more than three jumps.

It takes a whole man to conquer a vicious animal. People maytalk about intellectual superiority and refinement and good breeding, but every man takes off his hat to physical strength and endurance. While the man who leads a sedentary life cannot hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy men of the plains, they can be sound, vigorous, healthy men if they will. It is a matter of care of health while one has it, and the proper measures to restore it when it is lost. Most diseases begin with some trouble of the digestive organs or of the liver. Troubles of this nature starve the body, because they prevent it from receiving its proper »upply of nourishment. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a man an appetite like a cow-boy's and the digestion of an ostrich. Its great work is upon the stomach, large intestines and liver. These are the organs that nourish a man's body. This medicine makes them strong, vigorous and healthy. It fills the blood with the nourishment that builds new, solid and healthy flesh, muscle and nerves.

I am now enjoying magnificent health, after having suffered for years with chronic catarrh," writes Ramon Sanchez. Esq.. of Penasco. Taos Co., New Mexico. ''By the use of your Golden Medical Discovery' I have recovered my health, and am now, physically a sound matt, attending to my business and enjoying life."

Birds That Live on Tall Buildings—Slanar From the Days of Old Rome.

Since tho tall .office buildings have come into vogue the sparrows have gone upward to build their nests, and broods are rStrod every season 100 feet or more above the busy street. The fledgelings are safe from cats and annoying small boys, but their security in that respect is offset by the danger of falling out of the nest. Tho parcut birds are so fearful of such an accident that one or the other stands on guard at all hours of the day.

When the time approaches fcr tho youuK birds to fly, the parents show their anxiety in many ways. They seem to try to induce their young to remain in their nests until their wings aro strong enough to support them, but if one should flop out before tne proper time the two old birds go to the rescue.

An instance of this kind happened a few days ago at old Trinity. The steeplo of tho church is a favorite breeding placo of the sparrows, and clumsy nests ate poked away in every nook and corner. In a nest perched nearly up to the cross that surmounts tho steeple the! second brood of young sparrows have just reached the flying ago, and theother- day the foremost youngster flopped over the side of the nest and came tumbling down to the hard pavement. below. His vain efforts to use his wings only multiplied his strange gyrations through the air, but before he could reach the ground tho two parent spar-' rows had darted downward in time to receive him on their backs.

It was impossible for them to fly I with tho bird on their shoulders, but tlv.y glided slowly downward with! wings outspread until they reached thej top of tho trees, where they managed to land the youngster safely among the sheltering branches.

The first lessons in hying are very difficult for young birds reared in such high homes. The first flight of a fledgeling must of necessity be short, and if he should attempt to fly downward to the streets below he would undoubtedly plunge forward with such itnpetuosity as to kill him when he reached the pavement. Consequently-the parent birds direct the first flight either to a neighboring roof a short distance below, or, if the high building stands alone, they teach tho fledgeling to jump from the nest first straight out- and then upward and at last back again toward the building. They thus describe an upward circle and land with a flop upon the roof.

On these tall roofs the young birds receive their regular lessons, flying back and forth iu perfect safety, with neither cats nor small boys to disturb them, and there they remain until their strength and their wings are fully developed.

The first attempts of the young birds to fly from their ucsts to tho roof overhead are amusing They jump cut into space and flutter with uncertain flight upward, and then attempt to turn a sharp an^le. They aro not always successful, and sometimes begin to descend before they have readied the edge of tho roof, but if there is danger of their missing it tlie parent birds flop against them with such force as to knock thcin several feet toward tho building. It is a rude way to treat the little ones, but it is safe and effectual.—Our Animal Friends.
