Entered at the riymouth Post Office as secondclass matter. A. K.ZI MM HUMAN. Editor and PKontiKTOK. SUIISCKII'TION PltlC'K. One Year fio Six Months 75. That "honest dollar' seems to worry our gold bug friends. What is needed now is for the people to read for themselves. The death of J. W. Scott, editor of the Chicago Times-Herald, occurred in Xew York City Sunday afternoon. The war between Japan and China has ended, the terms of peace offered by the Japanese being accepted by the defeated nation. The position taken by Senator rainier, of Illinois, on the financial issue, will not cut a very large swath among the masses in that state. Tiik manipulation of the oil market by the Standard Oil Co., gives sutlicient evidence that a law should be enacted to crush out such concerns. Uepoiits from Paris, France, is to the effect that Dr. Nansen, the artic ex plor, has discovered the North Pole and that it is located upon a chain of moun tains. The truth of the statement is doubted. What next? Secretary Morton be lieves the single standard sympathizers, let them be republicans or democrats, should unite their forces and place a ticket in the field in 18M with (Irover Cleveland at the head of the ticket. How beautiful ! If the advocate of the single stand ard desire to counteract the inlluenceof "Coin's Financial School" or the arguments presented by the adherents of the double standard, they must produce something less complicated than theory. The people are tired of being humbugvd by those so called brilliant financiers. The Chicago Tribune is controlled by English capital, it is said, and of course is against the white metal. The Indianapolis Journal follows its lead while the Plymouth Republican teaches the monometallistic ideas advanced by the Journal. While these publications claim to be in favor of the double standard, the articles appearing week after week proves the assertions false. The untruthful assertions of the single standard adherents, still continue to come to the front. They now say that the efforts of those in favor of the free coinage of silver, is to have only silver as the basis of our money. They are well aware that this is false. The silver men believe in a double standard and all the efforts made by the gold .bugs, President Cleveland thrown in, cannot erase this fact. IVe see by an article in the American Sentinel, published in New York, that -down in Tennessee, several men who are connected with the church known -as the Seventh Day Adventist, have been arrested and sentenced to the county jail, because of their belie! on the question of the Sabbath And yet ive hear people thank God that they are living in a country where they "can worship God according to the dictates of their conscience, where none dare molest or make afraid." It is a very easy matter for those sovalled patriotic republicans, who through their publications claim to be anxious to help the dear people, to talk. Oh yes they are in favor of bimetallism or any other ism a national republican convention might designate. Uut the American people realize they have not got the sand in their political craw, to come out and emphatically declare where they stand. They will hide under a hypocritical cloak known as bimetallism, but in truth monometallism, and howl at "Coin," using only one little argument against a mountain of statistical truths. These are those staunch, rock-ribbed republicans, you known. "1 take it that the silver question will be one of the chief issues in your next national election," said Chas. Hunt, of England. "It is also going to be a great issue in (Jreat Pritain. The friends of silver are gaining in num bers and inlluence all over Europe and the cause is growing stronger in Eng land every day. I have studied the money question in India, in Europe and in America, and though I haven't the slightest interest in silver as a producer or owner, I believe that its demonetiza tion has been the cause of ths great dc pression that exists in trade in every

civilized country to day. The masses are just beginning to see this, but they

will learn very rapidly henceforth, and in the next general election in England and the United States, we shall have a popular verdict in favor of bimetallism." It is not the men who are most properly qualified by character, ability, good judgment and experience, w ho have the surest passport to success in running for office. Few candidates are selected with any consideration of these qualifications. Availability to office consists in the willingness to spend money freely and to bargain with the boys. The interest of the people are nothing with either candidate or voter. So we will discover, in a number of cases at least, that money and boodle follow the boosting of any one into office. Sticklers for party just for partisan reasons are very apt to be the ones whose party allegiance is least to be trusted. It is true that independence of party is a growing evil, or blessing, which ever way one looks at it. Every party has a fair proportion of those who invariably swallow every thing certain party leaders dictate, good, bad or indifferent, sweet or sour, palatable or bitter. Happily in these days when everybody reads the papers, and the comments on the different political features financial and otherwise, forms an intelligent and independent opinion of his own, and the number is daily increasing of those who care but little for party labels, and will not submit to the die tation of party bosses, or the unqual ified adherence to any cut and dried party platform. Men of one's own party sometimes act unwisely in a partisan sense, and by these acts hurt their party and all their party's interests. The defense of any doubtful party policy or action is no help to party supremacy. It is not the criticism, the comments, or even the censure of unwise actions or unwise representatives, or leaders of a party that results in one half the injury, as does upholding, whether right or wrong, the misdeeds of those who are responsible for party action. If party action lays itself open to criticism by its party press, it is because the party has been badly managed. The Independent proposes to criticise republicans and democrats alike in their political actions when we think either is A few expressions from the pen of Samuel McNutt, of Muscatine, Iowa, is worthy of consideration. Mr. McNutt has given the money question a thorough and impartial study. Here are a few of his ideas: 1. When the medium of exchange of property (which medium we call money) dimishes among the people, poverty, idelness and ignorance, increase;' while the few become more powerful and wealthy. 2. The scarcity and almost entire ab sence of money among the people after the fall of the Koman empire, was followed by those centuries of ignorance and wretched human history, known as the "dark ages." 3. When money became mpie plentiful among the people, industy, enterprise, intelligence and a higher civilization were promoted and blessed the world. 4. The discovery and the product of the silver mines of America, and the consequent large increase of money among the people of Europe, promoted and advanced our modern civilization more than all other causes combined. 5. It has alway been and is now the intent of ihe bond-holding or creditor class to make money more valuable by lessening its volume, so that, i'l $1, when it becomes due, shall purchase more property than it could have purchased when it was loaned. t. The gold advocates tell us that since the demonetizing of silver in the United States this result has not fol lowed. Put they neglect to tell us the whole truth, namely, that this result has been prevented by our government's purchasing the silver in large quantities, and issuing thereon the paper money known as "silver certificates" and by this means keeping up the volume of money among the people. 7. The purchase law is now repealed, and the next step now in contemplation by the money power is to retire both these "silver certificates" and the "greenbacks," and let us have only what that money power calls "honest money" "money of the world" gold gold ! Put as for silver, it is a base and dis honest metal away with it coin no more of it. Such is the cry of the gold bugs and their friends. V AND ALI A LINE. Low Bate Excursions, April 2d, 30t!i 1895.
