SI.OO A YEAR. IN ADVANCE.
Friday, July 31, 1896,
The child’s play prohibition
party, since its Pittsburg split up,
seems to be having a melancholy
existence. The Voice strives in a
manner to hold together the gold
bug fragment but despair is in
every word the old time vigorous
organ now utters. We hope the
folly of running a party on that
lone plank will be abandoned after
this year, when some practical work
may be done for the cause. The
“party” is a dog in the manger.
“The Shadow on the Land,” by
Paul Vering, is one of the latest of
the reform books and while it is
written in the free and graceful
style of the platform orator, the
argument is far below the diction
in point of excellence. The ques
tion at issue is admirably stated
but the remedy offered is very weak
and his treatment of the money
question will hardly bo received as
the “good strong, sound doctrine”
by the many friends of silver. His
system of land taxation is| fully
more disappointing. Taken all in
all this book is the weakest argu
ment in support of those old, old,
principles which are being brought
once again to the front as the lead
ing principles necessary to a sound
republican government.
The People, the Robbers and the
Law,” the latest book by E. O.
Rail, is a well-written volume filled
with nuggets of truths and gems of
sound doctrine on the great ques
tions of industrial agitation. Mr.
Rail has gone to considerable
trouble in hunting up facts aud
data concerning all the problems,
and as “a review of the status of the
producing classes in the light of
demonstrated facts” the little book
has no equal. Not only are his,
sentences clear, pointed and con
cise, but are backed up by quota
tions from such thinkers as John
Stuart Mill, Ricardo, Jevons, Locke,
Adam Smith Ilume and a host of
others known the world over as
men of learning. Every laboring
man should read the book.
The Best Dollar.
The shifts, subtufuges, sophistry,
play upon words aud pleasant
sounding phrases dealt in by the
goldbug press reveal the barrenness
of their cause. They will tell you
a dollar as good as the best in the
world is what they want, aud every
dollar as good as every other dollar
is their ideal dollar. These and
similar parrot phrases which fly
from mouth to mouth are the daily
repetition of the gold trust in its
dying agony. There is no substan
tial meaning in such phrases.
Every dollar made by the govern
ment is as “good” and as “sound”
as the government of the United
States. If there is any other gov
ernment sounder or better or
stronger than that of the United
States, then the dollar of that
government is the better dollar.
The dollar of every government is
made for the use of the people of
that nation aud ceases to be a
dollar in every other nation, as all
laws on the statute books of every
nation cease to have jurisdiction
beyond the boundary of the nation.
If silver, gold, copper and nickel
are used for making money they
are worth the market price of these
metals in every market of the world.
They all cease to be money when
they reach the boundaries of their
own nation as tho laws become in
operative at that point. So every
dollar is as good as any other
dollar, il the law does not name a
specific difference, of every nation
in the transaction of business with
in the jurisdiction of that nation.
The gold dollar, the silver dollar
and greenback are all of the same
value in transacting business among
the people of the United States be
cause the law says so. The green
back is not as good in law for pay
ing interest on the public debt and
dues on imports as the other two
because the law has said so. There
was no necessity for making this
distinction, but it was the result of
a trick by the gold gamblers of
Wall Street and London. There
was no necessity for the “redemp
tion” of the greenback in coin in
the legitimate business operations
among the people. This clause in
the law was also a trick of the same
gang of bunco steerers.
The paucity of argument of the
republican party to support their
financial scheme of gold standard,
reveals the lalshood on which the
whole rotten mass rests. The world
has never produced a parallel to
the plundering game of the gold
standard.
f The Democratic Goldbug.
There is wide-spread lamentation
among the discarded boss politicians of
' the defunct democratic party as was never
before witnessed in this country, since the
Populists captured the voting strength of
the party in camp, as it were, with arms
stacked, the goldbug end of the party is
in a measure lost in the woods. They
are without organization or party and do
not know where they “are at.” Whit
ney has issued a couple of manifestoes,
' advising nothing and reaching uo
conclusion.
Another committee —self constituted, of
seven Pennsylvanians has issued another
distracted, nonsensical appeal, among the
- signers to which Mr. W. M. Siugerley's
name appears. These protesters all de
clare the Populists have captured their
• party, leaving them a homeless set of
i goldbug democratic stragglers.
A third ticket is being seriously con
sidered, but as that would attract some
thing from McKinley’s vote, the repub
licans will interfere to prevent such a
movement. On the whole the goldbug
part of the democratic party that was, is
about the most disconsolate, demoralized,
. homeless crowd that ever got left. The
manifesto of the Philadelphia company
contains some of the most absurd and
ridiculous things imaginable, among
which these seven wise men of the Quaker
City say of the Chicago platform :
“It proposes to debase the coin of the
United States by the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the rate of fifty-three
ceuts for a dollar of one hundred cents,
and by the power of the government to
compel the acceptance of these false and
debased coins—no longer so limited in
amount as to be convertible into gold—by
the people.”
Do “the people” want them “converted
into gold?” Nothing could be more
ridiculous and void of sense than this
paragraph. This crazy manifesto con
tinues :
“Thereby cheating honest creditors,
defrauding the laborer of nearly one-half
of his wages, robbing the pensioned
soldier of one-half of the value of his
pension, contracting the currency, by
the expulsion of,gold coin from cir
culation.”
It would be difficult to devise a plan for
expelling gold from the country faster
than the present gold standard drives it
out. Gold didn’t go out under the Bland
—Allison law, when two millions of silver
dollars a month were coined and circulat
ed, atiduuder which four hundred and
thirty millions were added to the circu
lating medium of the country, every dol
. lar of which is the equal of every gold
dollar, or “every other dollar.”
“Defrauding the laborer of one half of
'■ his wages,” is another falsehood these
gold agents never tire of ringing the
changes on. The laborer is now robbed
of one-half his time by enforced idleness,
. and that is in the fullest sense robbing
him of half his wages. This thing lias
actually come to pass under the present
1 gold standard. This is one of the actual
facts now existing. No supposition of
something to come to pass but is now
actually in existence —the laborer robbed
of half his time by involuntary idleness,
which is the same as depriving him of
half his wages. All the calamity which
the goldbugs say would result from the
' demonetization of silver has already been
brought about by the gold standard.
. And the soldier is to be “robbed of one
half of the value of his pension.” During
the war when he was at the front he was
paid sl3 in greenbacks and most of the
time it took one and a-lialf to two and a
half dollars in greenbacks to buy one
dollar in gold or silver. Now the sl3 he
, gets are worth dollar for dollar in gold or
silver. When this same New York gold
gambling ring was robbing the soldiers
by cornering gold during the war not a
word did they say about his being robbed
of one-half his wages.
In the same paragraph they talk of
robbing the laborer and soldier, by remon
etizing silver, they say it will “contract
the currency by the expulsion of gold
coin from circulation.” If this were true
and actually occurred it would increase
the value of the dollar of the laborer and
soldiers, because money would become
scarcer and its purchasing power be in
creased. This is what is the matter now.
• The scarcity of money makes its value
[ very great.
“The expulsion of gold coin from cir-
dilation” is good. There is not a gold
coin in actual circulation .in the country.
• Occasionally one is seen for a moment
I and is gone into some hoarder’s pocket or
■ the bank. It is such ridiculous rot as this
, the gold ring claquers strive to fill the
ears of the people with.
Not a word, how-ever, is said about the
1 farmer losing half his wages by having to
sell his crops at half price, the price of
. which is forced down by the present gold
. standard. The farmer’s produce is his
wages. Conditions which make money
dear and produce unprofitably cheap are
1 cheating the twenty millions of farmers
1 and those depending on farming, out of
half their wages, and these gentlemen say
nothing about that piece of cheating.
This is to compose the “education”
I they propose to convert the people with
r from the “silver craze” between now and
. November. Vain hope ! The people are
not crazy.
| Good Money.
) “What we all want—no matter to what
1 political organization we may have be
, longed in the past—is a return to the
’ good times of years ago. We want good
\ prices and good wages, and when we
f have them we want them paid in good
> money. Whether our prices be high or
whether they be low, whether our wages
be good or whether they be bad, they are
1 all the better by being paid in dollais
s worth one hundred cents each.” (Tre
-1 mendous cheering. )
1 This is what McKinley said at Alliance,
O. Aud they cheered tremendously the :
' reporters tell the papers, and the papers
tell the people. What does this pointless 1
platitude contain to cheer ? “Good
- Money!” As though the United States'
ever made or is likely to make any but
' good money. The folly of trying to
louger humbug the people with such *
- senseless platitudes is pitiful. )

The People’s Party Ticket.
i The result of the St. Louis Populist
f! convention, w-as, like all the party con
! ventions which preceded it, not altogether
j harmonious, for these are turbulent times.
1 1 The outcome of the convention was the
11 adoption of a clean cut People’s party
i platform, which is published on the
. fourth page of the Midland Journal,
. and the nomination of W. J. Bryan, pres
, idential candidate and Thomas E. Watson
of Georgia, for vice-president. The nom
ination of Watson was the result of dis
, satisfaction among a turbulent element
which comes to the front in times like
- these, whose self-assertion and ambitious
vanity to be in the lead or smash things
, is their dominant characteristic. There
, are iu consequence two vice presidential
nominees on the same ticket. It is prob
able that one of them will withdraw, but
• whether or not, the electors will be the
same on both tickets and in their hands
the choice of both President and Vice
President is placed, who will make choice
of either Sewall or Watson, which ever
seems best to promote the cause of free
coinage, aud after that the other reforms
to take the government of this country
out of the haifds of the present Tory party
of England.
There now remains no shadow of a doubt
of Bryan's election by a popular majority
the largest ever witnessed in this country.
We believe that all well-informed repub
licans concede this, if not openly, in their
own minds. The banks of New York see
the determination of the people and are
drawing in their horns. They threatened
to create another panic like that of ’93
but found that the people were not
frightened and that it would hurt them
selves aud friends most, so they have
wisely concluded to stop short, and have
commenced to shift the gold they drew
out of the Treasury in preparation for
their “ object lesson,” back to the Treas
ury, aud exchange it for greenbacks that
had been empounded by Cleveland aud
Carlisle under the advice of John Sher
man, the Benedict Arnold of this era of
British war on American institutions.
Our advice is for the active members in
public affairs to go forward, organize free
coinage clubs iu every neighborhood and
spread information among the people on
the initial question in this reform. A
union of the free coinage element of the
country will oust from the government
the gold corporation trust element and
break the power of the gold ring. After
that it will be comparatively smooth sail
ing. Bryan in place of Cleveland will be
a wonderful gain to the American people.
McKinley in this campaign is scarcely
thought of. He is a back number at best,
■ and is looked upon as a mere -figure-head
of the gold trust. They paid his debts,
hold notes and mortgages over him and
. have reduced him to the condition of a
puppet. As Cleveland said in his sar
castic remarks : “The White House is no
place for a mortgaged man,” and the
people think so too. Let there be no halt
in the reform forces. The enemy is al
ready beaten. Push on and scatter and
. disperse them as Bluclier hurried to the
field of Waterloo and overwhelmed the
great robber of Europe. That robber
was a goldbug. Thus perish all the race.
Free Coinage.
Section 14 of act of April 2, 1792, made
it lawful for any person, or persons, to
deposit gold or silver bullion at the mint
free of charge. Under the old law the
depositor of gold or silver bullion could
have his identical bullion converted into
coin; note this fact. Consequently returns
for gold or silver bullion were payable in
gold or silver coin, according to the kind
of bullion deposited
But it would have been unnecessarily
tedious, also attended with considerable
delay, if each lot of bullion had been
coined separately. Therefore to save
time and expense the bullion was usually
virtually purchased at its coining value,
less the usual charges for parting and
casting into fine bars. Thus, if the bul
lion were deposited by 10 a. m., returns
could be had the following day by 3p. m.
But the payment was the same in kind
and amount that it would have been had
the depositor waited to have his own
bullion coined.
Hence if unlimited coinage be restored
it will not drive the gold out of the
country, nor will the United States be
come a dumping ground for foreign silver,
both of said statements being often alleged
by people who do not appaar to under
stand the case.
In case of the restoration of the old
silver law no foreign silver bullion can be
deposited at our mints, unless the depos
-1 itors thereof are willing to receive, and do
receive, iu return for same, our silver
coins at par. Therefore deposits of foreign
: silver bullion wotdd not, in the least de
[ gree, be injurious to us, but rather
beneficial.
If the old silver were restored we could
; soon compel England to follow suit;
otherwise lose her trade, especially with
: countries where silver has not been de
[ monetized, which would give us an
immense advantage.
The following is from the London
Financial News, copied from the Farmers’
Tribune, Des Moines, la., of Jan. 1, 1596:
“There can be no doubt about it that if
the United States were to adopt a Jsilver
basis to-morrow, British trade would be
ruined ere the year was out. Every
American industry would be protected,
not only at home, but in every other
market of the world. * * * It has
been a piece of luck for us that it has
never occurred to the Americans to scoop
us out of the world’s markets by going on
a silver basis.”

Last summer one of our grand children
was sick with a severe bowel trouble.
Our doctor’s remedies had failed, then ( '
we tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera j
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very- ;
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
: bowel complaints.—Mrs. E. G. Gregory,
I Frederickstown, Mo. This certainly is
1 the best medicine ever put on the market
for dysentery, summer complaint, colic
1 alul cholera infantum in children. It
never fails to give prompt relief when
used in reasonable time and the plain
printed directions are followed. Many
I mothers have expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected,

While all eyes are turned on the
political situation and many are
undecided whether to cast their
vote in favor of the restoration of
silver or for a continuance of the
present financial policy, The Arena
is, as usual, bold, strong, vigorous
and ontspoken on the situation. In
the August number, in a paper
entitled “A Reply to ‘A Financial
Seer,’ ” Mr. C. S. Thomas, an able
and successful lawyer, who has for
many years made a special study
of the currency question, furnishes
some strong and convincing argu
ments in favor of the restoration of
silver to its constitutional place in
our currency. Mr. George Canning
Hill, the Massachusetts member of
the National Rimetallic Union, in
a brief paper, headed “The Morn
ing of a New Day,” while not enter
ing into cumbrous details, gives a
clear aud concise review of the
money question. Although fully
realizing the importance of the
struggle through which the country
is now passing and the necessity
which lies upon every man to
thoroughly inform himself upon
this most vital question, and then
to be true to himself and to his
country at the polls, Mr. Hill takes
an optimistic view of the situation
aud believes in the ultimate triumph
of silver. Those who waver be
tween free silver aud gold mono
metallism should have their doubts
forever set at rest by reading
“Notes by the Editor” in this issue.
111 these Notes the Editor of the
Arena, who, by the way, in some
occult fashion seems to find out the
most secret plaus of the gold men,
makes some startling revelations iu
regard to the methods adopted by
these gentlemen in order to force
the country to a gold basis.
Hoke Smith and his newspaper,
the Atlanta Journal, have left the
goldbug side and come out for
Bryan and silver. Cleveland’s
cabinet is dropping away from him.
It is reported that Secretary Car
lisle is on the eve of coming out on
the silver side. Cleveland says he
don’t care, they may do as they
please and he’ll go a-lishing.

The Young Voter.
To the average young American citizen and
voter the coming campaign appears instructive
and Interesting. Revolutions and their progress
are always interesting to follow and study, espec
ially revolutions of such a nature as the impend
ing one,—not being fought with brother’s blood.
For the past twenty-five years young men have
become “party men” in their youth, true to those
time-honored principles taught when a hov. and
voting the ticket that grandfather was proud to
cast. lint tradition and ancestry will play little
part in the career ol the wide-awake young voter
of to-day: he has studied the great questions that
are confronting his elders and distinctly under
stands that some day, if not remedied now, these
same evils must be met and fought by him,
remembering that it is his duty as a patriotic cit
izen and a Christian man to cast his ballot as his
mind and heart directs him. With such voters,
the welfare of our great commonwealth would l>e
insured. Prejudice, which in politics is nothing
more than judgment without knowledge, would
be forever cast aside. Aside with all petty party
affiliations which are only based on sentimental
ism and nothingness and let every voter strike
out lor himself toward that goal which his intel
lect tells him he must reach in order to be right.

Spare the Old House.
Editor op The Midland:—l was sorry to read
in! your issue of 24th inst. that the old stone
schoolhouse was doomed to be torn down and
replaced by one of a more modern design.
Was pleased to read your opinion that the walls
were good and that the building could be repaired
for a few hundred dollars.
This matter I think should claim the attention
of the Commissioners, and if possible save the old
land-mark.
I—and I am assured I voice the feelings of
hundreds scattered over the country who claim
this school as their Alma Mater—look upon this
building and surroundings as almost sacred, a
spot that reminds me of the happy days of child
hood, where I studied hard to obtain an educa.
tion, where my voice and laughter mingled with
my playmates, some now living in distant States,
some that have been called to meet their God and
I trust are now enjoying everlasting happiness;
where I builded huge air-castles, many of which
have been dissolved nnd crushed.
So I hope those in power will decree that the
old building shall be repaired, il not as a matte r
of economy, for the sake of keeping a land-mark
that has been the scat of learning of our parents
and perhaps grand-parents. A relic that our
children and grand-children will venerate.
In a highly improved and progressive neigh
borhood such as surrounds this house, it is but
right that something should be kept ns a memen
to of past ages: the spirit of improvement and
modern ideas have relegated to memory ever> •
thing clseof ancient design, sodo notsacriliee this,
but spare itso that the sojourners in other commu
nities, while visiting their old homes and birth
places can feast their eyes upon this beloved spot,
and like Moses hear a voice saying, “take oil thy
shoes from thy feet,” for it is holy ground at the
portal of The Old Stone Schoolhouse.
