FREE SILVER THE GEY

WITH RESISTLESS POWER THE MOVE ROLLS ON. Michigan the Scene of the Intcot Triumph New Cuiivcrtn Unrolled from Both the Old Purtita-Kcimblicrtna and Democrats Flock to ths Standard. Silver la the Iasjue. With force resistless as an avalauclio the cause of silver is moving oa. Tha for West and Northwest, the Central States and the South, have espoused tho doctrine of unrestricted coinage of the white metal. The old party leaders of the Mast view with apprehension the growth of the movement, and read in it the doom of th monopolies fostered by the present iniquitous currency system. Eastward the star of Empire wends Its way! And now conservative Michigau wheels into line. At iiattle Creek the work began, anjl already Lansing, the capital city, is ringing with its echoes. As reported by the press, here is a synopsis of the proceedings: Til. real result of the conference was the adoption of the report of the Committee on Resolutions us amended by Daniel Strang. The report loin:i!idd the free coinage of gold and silver at the old ratio of 1 1 ; to 1; that all paper money be issued by the government as full legal tender foiinded on the taxes and" wealth of the country and that no more gM bonds he issued in times of pence; that the best interests of th" Third Congressional District of Michigan demanded the election of n OMigressional representative who adopts and advoeates these principles; that the conference pledges its united iind enthusiast ie support to such a man, regardless of previous party a filiations; and all men who wish for better times, and broader and wiser legislation, are invited to join and work for these financial reforms. Th chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of live, and t lie - committee was instructed to prepare a silver platform and call a congressional convention for the purpose of putting a candidate in the field. Addresses were made by Ianiel Strange. K. W. Kwing. Patrick (Jilkoy. II. .7. l'lynn, and W. D. Smith, and each of these gentlemen was confident that a silver party can turn things over in this district. Mr. Smith likened the movement to the formation of the Republican party under the oaks at .lackson. and said he would 'not be surprised if the party grew until it spread over the entire United States and elected a President. It looks now as if Democrats and Prohibitionists would join the Populists and as many silver Republicans would vote the ticket." It is now apparent that the Republican leaders will attempt to nullify the influences at work, by having their party indorse free silver. Hut the mission of the. Republican party is fulfilled, and its days of usefulness past. Populism is the order of the day, and this dispatch from Lansing shows the trend otaffairs: "It has become apparent within the last few days that a determined attempt will be maih to commit the Re publican party in this State to the issue j of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Five silver sentiment has grown like a pigweed in a radish bed in this State during the last two years. The Patrons of Industry are committed to it, the Farmers' Alliance has the issue for its basic principle, the State 1 1 range prefers it to most of the other linancial schemes of the present day, the Democratic party is split in two upon the "question, and scores of the leaders of the Republican party are in favor of it. Right or wrong, the Republican party, with its inherent greed for power, wants the votes of the free silver men. When the votes are delivered the party may not see lit to enact a free silver law, but the issue will have. served its purpose. It was matter of some surprise when the other day State Senator F. W. Clapp brought the question into the Michigan Legislature. Senator Clapp resides at Rattle Creek, where the recent free silver conference was held, and ho is a candidate for thejiominatioii for Congress to succeed Julius Cesar 1J arrows. The support which Iiis free silver resolution received was a surprise, and indicated that the RcpubJ In an Srtator nie ready to rush pell well into populism. Although it was laid on the table by a vote of 12 to 10, the vote was reconsidered on the following day and the resolution made a special order in the Senate. It is believed that if the resolution is adopted it will have considerable effect upon the platform-makers. It is by no means Improbable that t'.ie .'epnblieau p;riy in Michigan will indorse the free silver idea, in which event the party will be as badly severed as the Democratic party now is over the same question." Let the good work go on! Rut watch with jealous care that the Populist party is not emasculated by accepting only partial aid from cither of the old parties. Populism is wide enough, broad enough, and progressive enough to furnish a governmental code for the whole country. And if either or both of the old parties think to steal the thunder of the new star in politics, they will find themselves mistaken. IIus Honorable Precedent. Covernment ownership of the telegraph is not at all an exclusive tenet of the Populist party, as Senator Allen tried to impress uion his fellow Senators. On the contrary, the postal telegraph was repeatedly recommended by Republican incumbents of the postmaster generalship long before the Populist party had existence either in imagination or In fact. Postmaster General Cress well recommended the postal telegraph more than twenty years ago. Postmaster General Wan-

amnfcor advocated government ownership of thi telegraph after the. Populist platforms had Adopted the Idea, but no one claimed that he thereby became n Populist. Had Senator Allen pursued the subject further ho would have discovered that a very respectable minority of both houses of Congress are favorable, to the postal telegraph. The 1 Effect on Uimincs. The newspaper organs which have been continually harping on gold since the very day that Cleveland Issued his silver repealing message to the extra session of Congress in the summer of 1SD3 are at it again in connection with the present condition of business. And their statements are just as true now as they were then and not a whit more so. "Business will pick up at ocee as soon as the new gold loan is secured," chirrups a ponderous authority in New York. "Repeal the Sherman law and business will revive within a week," said the same authority eighteen months ago. "The bonds have been sold, and now to business," again it piped twelve mouths ago. "The loan has made the treasury solid and there is now a good footing for business," cackled the same concern scarcely sixty days now gone. Iut on neither of these occasions did the carrying out of the Cleveland linancial program help business to any appreciable degree. What business wants is not the piling up of the national debt, but assurance that the people are to be put in a condition to pay their scores at the corner groceries nnd the dry goods stores. Whenever the consumers of the country are given an opportunity to put in their time at good wages in shops, mills and counting houses, on railways and on farms, then there will be business for all. And it is not gold that is needed to bring that condition about. The Republican newspapers which have been buncoed into the everlasting gold scheme would better wake up to the situation and see where t' ey are "at." The war upon silver was undertaken for the double purpose of benefiting the gold ring and distracting attention from the colossal failure of tariff reform." The way to benefit business is to go lack to business principles in the management of the country's business and industrial affairs. Give to the country a sufficient volume of money to transact its business. Let the buyers and shippers of the West once become independent of the Eastern money bags. When Europe needs the products of the Western plains, let Western money move the crops. If this wore done one single season, the cry of distress that has been heard for mouths past would be settled forever. Free coinage of silver will do it!

Governor Waite. Davis II. Waite is no longer Governor of Colorado, but. now that he has retired from the arena, even his enemies in that State have to confess that his administration has left legacies of legislation which are a credit to the State and a benefit to its people. Waite was often hot of temper, immoderately so. perhaps, but it was always the heat of righteous indignation, such as every honest man may feel in times like these. Though along in years, the retiring Governor is well preserved both mentally and physically not unlike the English Gladstone and may again take a part in shaping the history of his country. lie struck us as a thoroughly honest man. as well as aide and progressive; even Iiis worst enemies have never undertaken to assert that he was not honest. Waite, in fact, bears a close resemblance in manner and temperament, as well as in action and principles, to Andrew Jackson. Men who have not understood him, or whose political interest lay in not understanding him or in misrepresenting him. have called Waite such names as "crazy;" but Jefferson records the application of "maniac" to the author of the Declaration of Independence and father of the Democracy for similar reasons his oposition to the privileges of the banks of issue. The fox does not love the man who tries to deprive it of its goose. Public Sentiment Demands It. Public sentiment is tending more strongly than ever in this country toward the increased use of silver in our currency. We certainly need to establish a currency system which is best for our own country and our own national development, rather than a system which other European countries are so strenuously insisting that we should adopt. Very many of our ablest thinkers anil business men are not in favor of maintaining the single gold standard to please John Rull and a dozen of his leading bankers. In maintaining the siugle gold standard we are depreciating the farm value of our products, bankrupting our farmers, who are the bone and sinew of the country, and we are also forcing 'increased grain production in silverusing countries, which are taking advantage of our unfortunate position. Every patriotic citizeu should demand the restoration of silver to the money of this country and to the world. Continued disaster is sure to follow the attempt to adopt the English advice to maintain the single gold standard. For Money or Honor. John G. Carlisle went into Cleveland's cabinet for either money or honor. If for money, it was for dishonest money, for his place in the Senate was worth nearly as much and was more certain. If for honor, it was dishonorable, for he had to sacrifice his convictions, as expressed in long years of public life, for his views on finance had ever been contrary to Cleveland's ami contrary has been his policy since inducted into ottice. The logic of the case is certainly against him. Had he desired honor he could have covered himself with It J by remaining In the Senate and defeat

ing the financial conspirators. In the New Time Just ahead of us he will be counted with those who knew how but would not help the people who had honored him. There are many laborers struggling with poverty to-day whose names will be honored when that of Carlisle will be forgotten. Men are being created whom the gold of syndicates cannot buv.

Public O wiiereship. Homestead! What a horror your very name conjures up. How different from the emotions of what the name once stood for! Homestead. Pa.! Another cut in wages! Another link in ihe chain of industrial slavery, o? manacling man to work by keeping him in poverty so he dare not cry out for fear of starvation. Over two years ago I pointed out to the iron workers in Pueblo. Colo., that the Homestead cut would be an excuse for a reduction in Colorado. The soulless C. C. & Iron Co., to cut to meet the Eastern competition, and then an Eastern cut to get under them, and a Western cut to get under the East again. And the cuts have been coming on schedule tine! Rut the boys, trained up by boodle politicians, would not listen to government ownership of the coal mines and iron works! They were told they would b( government slaves! They are so free now!! Hoys, vote for no man who does not preach public ownership. Exchange. Think Over Thin. Suppose we abandon the single money standard, and it would be true as predicted that geld would cost a premium, which means that gold would become an article of trade and cor.meivo only: well, what thenV The importer who wanted to pay a bill in Europe would have to buy gold to do that, instead of paying directly with money, he would have to purchase a certain article of merchandise, namely, gold, and give this in exchange for the merchandise he bought. That this should be of any serious injury to the poop e, we really cannot see. We were in this condition before. During the war and a long time after gold did not circulate much as money, but had to be bought with the money circulating and our republic did not go to pieces and we had no such fearful and long-lasting panic as the present. The truth is that the period when gold was at a premium in this country was the period of its greatest business prosperity. Notes. Silence is golden, but money talks neverthelessso long as there is plenty of silver. Debs was sent to jail for six months for the part he took in the railroad strike. The general managers, however, still bask in the sunshine of plutocratic protection. Government loans at 2 pT cent, means emancipation from debt slavery. Turning the finances of the Government over to the bankers means perpetual debt slavery to the masses. England sends us $.".OmiiO0 of gold. We shall soon be looking to her to provide us with beef and mutton. And this was a few short months ago the richest country under heaven. N'Mther telescope nor microscope reveals the fact that after the i roast: ry ha once more its SPmm0,O(KJ reserve, the Wall street suction pump will not be applied to pull all this gold out again. G rover Cleveland's gold cure may not drive the rest of his party to drink, for its fondness for Rourboii is proverbial, but as a sort of a reversed linancial Keeleyite. his Excellency is. nevertheless, making a valuable leputati on. A great deal is being said about the way Cleveland has again met the money crisis. More will be said anon about how the gold-shippers have met Cleveland. And this will not be the collision of an irresistible force with an immovable object, cither. Mr. Cleveland's obstinacy is below par in this particular. Say, my (J. A. R. brother, you fought to free the colored man, to lighten his burden of toil and misery, didn't you 7 Well, is he, as a rule, as well fed and clothed as before? I am sure he is not. And, more, I see while men, exsoldiers, working side by side with him to-day. Roth producing wealth that makes master richer than ever did chattel slavery. White men are begging for work to keep from starving ex-sohiiers at that. Did you ever hear of a slave begging for work to keep from starving? Are not more white people in worse want and dependence to-day than ever were black people in th s country? Surely. Ex-soldiers, get your thinking caps on and learn how this new form of slavery has such a hold on the working people. The war has lost the fruits of its victory. Slavery has increased and involved both white and black men. Think, soldiers, think. Don't fret 'bout theeurrency schemes. The bankers will get just such laws as they can agree on. You are not In it, my mortgaged brother. I am glad of lt. I like to see you squeezed. I want the bankers tokeeprlghton. They are doing you, my old party friend, a good service. When they squeeze you hard enough, you'll holler. Maybe, then, some one can Induce you to read and learn something about the finance problem yourself. If the money conspirators didn't squeeze nard, jou'd never discover tlcy were robbing you at all. It is essential to the life of this nation that you do learn these things yourself, so you will no Jonger be the dupe of the political pirates whom, in your Ignorance, you vote for. The bankers can't makeany "sound money" too "sound" to suit me, nor wildcat bank notes too wild to suit me. They are just where your votes have put them, and the rest of us will have to suffer with you until you get your eyes open, and the Larder the squeeze, the sooner will you be willing to see It

QUEER MOTTOES ON BELLS.

Curious Inscriptions Copied from tha Metal i,, -:nKIaml. In the Xcwbery .Magazine there is an Interesting article on "Iiell luscriptions." A bell at Heutlev. X. H is yeribod"John FJyer gave twenty pound To meek me a losty sound." Several inscriptions on bells are of an amatory character. A very common inscription is the following, found in Coventry. Knaresboiough, Northampton, ami other places: "In wedlock's bonds all ye who join With hands your hearts unite. So shall .ur tuneful tongues combino To laud the nuptial rite." On a couple of Lincolnshire bells ono of lsoT and the other of IN is -we havo the following: "When female virtue weds with manly worth. "We catch the rapture and we spread it forth." Very ofion the happy pair are re- ,;, , I , i . . . 1 ,, miutled ot the tninsitormess of human existence and of the end of all things. Here is a specimen of this kind of inscriplion from I lake well U75S): "Wben .,.e ! II,- v. ... .... ... im ii .-, I'.um lllllie Our merry peals produce, delight; But when dentil goes his dreary rounds We semi forth .sad and mournful sounds." A very suggestive inscription is that on the bell at Ilough-on-tiie-IIill. Lin colnshiiv. it js orated HVoS, and runs as ' , "When you pear this mournful sound, Prepare yourself for underground." L'ach bell in a peal at St. Miohael'a, . . Coventry. ,t we ar, to .idgv from the mot Joes, had a special use of its own. Thus No. 4 was evidently the work - men's bell: "I ring at i to let men know ... ... , . . .. h"M u,lUul ' their work to go."
