Mr. Sewa'.l will withdraw. Silver is 661 cents per ounce. The gold standard for the bondholder. Silver as well as gold for the plovvholder. Tom Watson will be the next vice president. England wants the United States to adopt the single gold standard. Tne gold ..standard means an ever increasing purchasing power of the dollar. American money for America, and that means both gold and silver, and sufficient legal tender paper to do the business of the country. The greatest silver producing nation in the world is America, the output being nearly half of the entire total. Why not be Americans and use this American product of American la bor instead of borrowing English gold? The republican state chairman of Texas has announced that the republicans will fuse with the populists on stnte tick ei. That will mean that they will support, for lieutenant governor, ‘-Stump” Ashby, whom some of Jasper county’s simon pure republicans said should not be allowed to speak in the court house park at Rensselaer. i' ' ; Chairman Jones who recently told the southern populists to go back to their niggers, is call ing to the Texas populists to “hold on”. He has discovered

that he needs Texas, and Georgia and Alabama and Tennessee and North Carolina and several other states; and he has also discovered that he can’t get them unless he puts Tom Watson on the democratic ticket as he agreed to do.

Now is the time to buy your solid silver spoons, you of the phat bank account, they are going up, and up, and away up; the set of “sterling’ - silver spoons that can be had now for $3.25 will be worth $6 in November. A few of us, however, wil: continue to stir up our black coffee and eat our oat meal porridge with the familiar product of the American tin plate industry, English made.

Does the dollar purchase enough or your oats, your corn, your horses, your hogs or anything else you produce? and if it does not the remedy lies in adopting tlje gold standard and decreasing the amount of money in the country. The dollar that now purchases ten bushels of oats can just as easily be made to purchase twenty under the operation of the English gold basis policy. As an illustration look at Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Italy and all the miserable bankrupt states that pay enormous tribute to English money loaners on the English gold system.

If is so much gold in circulation in the country as we are told there is, where is it? who has the precious yellow stuff? not the farmer, not the mechanic, not the merchant, not the banks of country towns, who, pray tell, has this much sought metal? The answer should be easy to any one who has noted where Cleveland sold his bonds. The gold of all the world is practically owned by a single banking combination with headquarters in Loudon, directed by the Rothschilds, and their conscienceless conspiracy aims at the accumulation of all the weajsth of the world, and the distinction of civilization.

Manufacturers are now selling many lines of goods below cost because they must have money or fail; wholesalers are so pressed for cash that they are sacrificing their stocks; retail merchants are selling goods at a loss in order to save themselves from bankruptcy; the farmer is selling his crops for less than cost that he can buy the necessities of life; the business of production everywhere is etn ploying less laborers at less wages and for less days; tramps roam singly and in squads upon every highway in every part of the land, begging and stealing that which they cannot earn by labor; and all this because the currency lias been contracted until it is unequal to the demands of business, and the money loaners of the east have cornered a large amount of what there is.

Ex-Congressman Royee, the present republican candidate for congress in the thirteenth district, was billed for a speech at Francesvilie yesterday, but after ho arrived there he found no audience and refused to talk unless twenty-five people could be drummed up to listen to him. This could not be done and the meeting was abandoned. It might be well to rematk that in all the local free silver meetings the school houses have been crowded, and when the silver candidate for congress comes to Francesville he will speak, and there will be plenty of people to hear him.
