Year Six Begun.

With this issue of the People’s I Pilot it begins the sixth .year of’ its existence, and as has been■ customary in the past, a little i enlivenment of color is given to ; commemorate the event. It is' thought tilting to print one side , of the white paper in red and the I other side in blue, thus symbol- i izing the patriotic course the pa-! per espouses. The editor desires to thank the ’ many friends who have so liber- ; ally patronized the paper during past months severely hard times, i Times are still hard and there are many subscribers who are delinquent, but though we do i not complain, we ask all those! who can to kindly bear us in I mind. There are many whose! time expires with this issue, and ’ it will be a great favor to receive ■ their renewal soon. Positively, going to quit, the clothing ' business.

Council Proceedings.

The City Council met in regular sesi<m on last Monday night. The rules relative t<> the order of business were at once suspended on motion, and the assembly proceeded to the adoption and rejection of the various ordinances that had been prepared by the City Attorney and submitted to them. It seems to be the intent to completely re-enact ail provisions of a legislative character for the government of our City and consign all of those which were handed down from the Town Board to the lumbered past. While the spirit of most of the members seems to keep a watchful eye on the pecuniary interests, that may be derived,from proper enactments: most of the ordinances which have been passed thus far are either of a penal nature; or

are an exercise of the police powers lodged in such bodies for the protection of the safety of individuals. The ordinances that have been past, and are yet pending before the body are so numerous that paticular mention cannot be accorded to any; suffice it to say. however, that while there are some changes which ;i»-c necessitated by the re-incorporation, the general spirit of all of the others is found in the ordinances we have been obeying for many a day under the old regime. The Council has been holding adjour-’ ned sessions every night this week, and will continue to do so until all that is neccessary for municipal growth shall have found encouragement in ordinance or resolution.

How can they be obtained. is the serious and inportant question which the Chicago convention must solve and solve rightly, or the gold standard I party will be victorions. A seri- ’ ous error at Chicago will inevit- ' ably divide the silver army. We i I may regret it as we will, but hu- i I man nature is the same to-day as I yesterday, and the same this | year as in former presidential I years. Men of opposite political views \ who are flouted, or whose wishes i are treated with indifference by | those who need their support, I are not likely to suppress politi'cal bitterness, whether of the long past or recent creation, and replace it with, feelings that will lead to affilliation and support at the polls. Postmaster Honan, David Shields, Wm. M. Hoover, N. S. Bates and A. K. Yeoman were in attendance at the democratic state convention yesterday, that nominated Hon. B. F. Shively for governor on a free silver platform.

urers can bring them prosperity. So. until we restore bimetallism protection must be a mere sham, for only by restoring bimetallism can we raise the price of silver, and deprive our silverusing competitors of the bounty they now enjoy in the shape of a premium on gold, raise the price at which they can lay down their products in competition with our producers, thus raise the prices our farmers get for their products and bring to them renewed prosperity. Declaring unreservedly for sound money—which has come to mean the dearest money and a two-hundred-cent dollar—the republican convention has earned the plaudits of the money cliques; for it has declared its policy to be to enrich the few at the expense of the many. The reference to international bimetallism is puerile. We are under tribute to the creditor classes of Europe; we are greatly their debtors. The further gold appreciates, the more cotton and wheat and other produce will they ges in payment of interest and principal, and the heavier will be our tribute. To free ourselves from such tribute we must do nothing—nothing save wait /or the nations enjoying such tribute and protiting from our impoverishment to voluntarily relinquish such tribute. Such is the meaning of the dec

laration of the republican convention that “we are opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and, until such agreement can be obtained, the existing gold standard must be preserved.” Imports into Great Britain exceeded exports last year by £130,547,693, and net imports of gold amounted to £14,736,715—a total of £145,264.408. This is the tribute the rest of th e world is under to Great Britian. This represents the interest on the sums the British creditor classes have loaned to foreigners and the interest on the capital invested in her marine. Over £700,000,000 is the tribute of the world to England, and the further prices fall, the more wheat, the more cotton, and other produce will she receive in payment. Yet we are to wait for the creditor classes of Great Britian to join hands with us in restoring bimetallism, raising prices and cutting down/ this tribute. Truly, it is folly to wait for international bimetallism. Twenty years we have waited in vain, and so long as we remain supinely inactive, we will continue to wait. By opening our mints to silver, we can force bimetallism; but by begging we will never achieve it.
