Vark, DrockJyn, io which the Demo
crats of that city participated to the
lumber of y,000. The Senator had
"tia pitchfork with him, and ho used
it eontinuoufcly for two hours. His
-a'dre caught the crowd. The
'.senator said:
"Why can't you get along in this

"How 'bout Klondike?" queried a

you are waiting for prosperity to

"The Clinton (la) Advertiser has

The Conspiracy Against Silver.
The conspirators are crowding sil-v-r
too far. To the gold monomet-
allists the fall in the price of silver
is an argument against bimetallism
In their greedy frenzy to annihilate
silver the goldites have pushed their
cause too far, and threaten the de
structicn of the S 1,500,000,000 of
coined silver held by India, Mexico,
the South Ameiican Sfatep, China.
France and Austria, to say nothing
of the Bix hundred and odd millions
in the United States.
The question is asked by the New-
World, an uncompromising gold or
gan:
"VVnat is to become 01 ttie tom-
meica of the siher couatriea Eng
land's beet customers if their mon
ey is to be wiped out? Mexico has
already put a stop to foreign trade
for thiB cause. Must not all the
other silver countries do the like if
the decline continues?"'
'If the motey leadeis of the
world persist in their efforts to force
the gold standard upon this conn
try," says the Cincinnati Enqu rer,
"they may prove more than they de
sire to If half the metallic basis
for our paper circulation can be dis
pensed with maDy will argue that
the whde can ha di&pensfd with."
If the people of this country are
forced t3 choose betwetn the small
paper circulation that can be sus
tained on the narrow basis of gold,
or a larger and sufficient circulation
of paper, based upon the constitu
tional power of the government to
issue legal tender notes at iti own
pleasure, it ia entirely possible that
they may choose the latter. But lo
mch alternative will be presented.
A victory for independent bimetal
lipin is near at hand. It will bring
with it no influx of silver frcm other
countries. On the contrary wo shall
continue to export from fcrty to
fifty millions of silver every year
across the Atlantic, as we do now.
The filver coics of Europe are
worth 3 per cent more on the dollar
where tber now are than they would
be in the melting pots at our mints
at the ratio of 10 to 1, and therefore
they will not come to this country
for coinage. The silver plate and
ornaments and idols in the old
world are worth more then their
weight ia silver dollars, and they
will cot come here for coinage.
There is no silvf r bullion on sale in
the entire Eastern hemisphere.
With free Bilver coinage, the enly
addition made ta our stock of money
would only be the addition neces
sary to meet the increase in the pop
ulation and business of the country.
From 1878 to 1893, a period of fif
teen years, thtre was added in s lver
to our volume of money in round
numbers six hundred millions of dol
lars, an increase of forly millions a
year, and we have the testimony of
the Hon. Thomas Brackett Reed,
given during th9 discussions of the
last campaign, that never was the
country in a condition of greater or
more solid prosperity tiian during
those fifteen years. President Ben
jamin Harrison, in his message of
December, 1S91, testified that the
upward tendency of trade with
which the country was thtn being
blessed, was due to the increased
purchases of silver under the She r
man act (1.000,000 cf ounces every
month), and not to the McKinley
tariff law. These are ft cts, and facts
are stubborn things. To restore the
good times bo glowingly described
by Reed and Harrison, we must re
store the causes which, according t J
Mr Harrison, produces them. While
forty millions a year in silver money
was being issued from our mints,
did anybody ever hear about any
trouble in maintaining the parity
between the coins of the two
metals?
There n no international money
and never was. Every nation makes
its own coins. No other nation can
fix the value of their coins for them.
The laws of trad?, we are often told,
can not be changed by legislation.
It is false. Silver bullion was wcrih
its weight in coin, because it was
convertible into ccia, during all cur
history as a nation up to 1S73. Now
it is worth less than 45 per cent of
its weight in coin, becausa the mon
ey lenders of the world corrupted
the Legislatures of the world and
abolished the coinage of legal ten
der silver nnner. Silver" oullioa
now sells at 55 cents an ounce, ia
stead of $129 sole'y because of this
corrupt legislation. Such has been
the effect of legislation uooa the
laws of trade. Now let that legisla
tion bo lifted from the laws of Trade.
Let the old law be restored and
then let it alone. Kacsas City

pronounced it can

indiscriminate use of the knife. Read

a trial, and after I had taken it a few

began to discharge. This after awhile
ceased, leaving a small scab, vrhich
finally dropped off, and only a healthy

where the destroyer had held full sway.
