THE SILVER QUESTION.
WILL DISRUPT THE OLD PARTIES,
SAYS MR. BLAND.
The Agriculturists must Resist the
Greed of the Commercial Centers.
Free Coinage to be the Issue.
St. Louis Republic.
Congressman R. B. Bland, of Leb
anon, Mo., who is sojourning at the
Laclede, was seen by a Republic re
porter, and asked his opinion as to
the effect which the Indian suspension
of free silver coinage would have
on the financial policy of this Gov
eminent and more especially the sil
ver advocates. He replied:
“ Heroic measures will be required
on the part of this Government for
the remonetization of silver. The de
monetization of silver is meant by its
authors to have an effect upon our
legislators in favor of the gold stand
ard. There may be some timid per
sons who will be influenced thereby.
“No. Most emphatically Ido not
' think it is a knock out for silver in
this country. On the contrary, I
think that if Congress does not adopt
some measure looking to a bimetallic
standard it will make the battle of
standards the coming issue in this
country. This battle will disrupt po
political parties and cause a contest
between th* commercial centers and
the agricultural districts of the
country.
“The masses of the people of the
Mississippi Valley and the Southwest
will not submit to the single gold
standard, and any political party
seeking to force it upon them will be»
repudiated.
“All political indications at present
seem to be thSt there is' going to be
a fight between the agricultural dis
tricts and the commercial centers
that will disrupt political parties as
now organized. If silver is demone
tized this fight will be precipitated
“ The issue of the new party will
then either take the form of the re
monetization of silver or the issuing
of paper fiat money. We will not
submit to the gold standard or the
controlling of money by banking in
stitutions. If silver is finally demon
etized gold will go with it. They
came together; they will go together.
« Free coinage of silver is demand
ed by the laboring classes, and this
is what free silver men will now de
mand of Congress. The commercial
centers are trying to force the gold
standard upon us, and we will not
submit, no matter what political party
combines with them to force us.
« The demonetization of silver is
a conspiracy between ths banking in
stitutions of England and the eastern
portion of the United States, and the
suspension of silver coinage in India
is part of this conspiracy to bulldoze
the Congress of the United States
into the adoption of the single gold
standard. Ido not believe that they
will succeed.”
“ Is the present stringency caused
by this conspiracy ? ”
“Harry Clews ck New York says
that gold was recently sent to Eng
land beyond any necessity, and this
showed a deliberate purpose on the
part of the gold interests to create a
panic in this country if possible.
They are producing a stringency for
no other purpose.
“ No. If the Democratic Congress
stands tnn to its pledges this con
spiracy wiil not succeed. The low
price of silver is due to the fact that
this and other governments are dis
criminating against it, and that the
money interests of this and other
countries have fought it. No import
ant commercial country has recently
had a mint for the free exchange of
gold and silver. The effort has been
to dam up silver and prevent its free
exchange in the commerce of the na
tion g.
“ So long as silver had a free ex
change the parity was maintained.
Silver cannot compete with gold ex
cept upon equal terms. This the
Democratic party in their platform
promised to give, and they cannot ig
nore the promise.
« Can the United States by free
coinage restore silver to its original
value ? ”
“ This was practically admitted by
the British Royal Commission of
1888, consisting of twelve members,
six of them uncompromising gold
monometallists. They admitted that
France alone could maintain the par
ity of the two metals of a nation of
15| to 1. Tnis country is stronger
in material wealth, developed and un
developed, than France and England
combined.”
Here Mr. Bland read the following
report from the commission mention
ed above:
“ The fact that the owner of silver
could in the last resort take it to those
mints and have it converted into coin,
which would purchase commodities
at the rate of 15) of silver to 1 of
gold would, in our opinion, be likely
to effect the market generally who
ever the purchaser and for whatever
country it was destined. It would
enable the seller to stand out for a
price approximating to the legal ratio
md would tend to keep the market
steady at that point.”

vast quantities, while Europe would
have the stringency of the century.
The American does not see how he
is to import gold without trading
goods for it, and if Europe fears a
stringency the goods will be sold at
very low prices before the immense
quantities of gold appear on our side
of the water. We would not care to
see gold getting so important, even if
we knew that we had more magnetic
affinity for it than any other nation.
When you get gold you lose some
thing else, and the higher priced
gold gets the more of the something
else you lose to get an ounce. If we
could utilize silver through a sound
bimetallic coinage neither the United
States nor Europe would be so wor
ried over the movement of a few
millions of gold. Men could sleep
without dreaming of a short gold
supply and a stringent money mar
ket when the debt-paying day came
around.

From Hart County.
Editor People’s Party Paper :
I see from the daily announce
ments in the papers that this grand
and glorious Republic of ours is get
ting in a terrible state financially.
The banks are breaking, large mer
chants and business houses that have
been doing business for years can
no longer survive the crash. Where
is that lone fisherman from the East,
whose song for the last eight years
has been tariff reform?
Where are the free silver men to
be found now? What has become
of that 148 majority? Where are
the many speakers that traveled all
over this land last fall telling us that
when we elected a Democratic pres
ident and congress they would pro
ceed at once to remedy the evils
which the Republicans had put on
ns for the last thirty years? Now
how does Harrison’s administration
compare so far with Clevelands?
How many burdens which the peo
ple complained of have been remov
ed? None, none. Now four long
month of the time of the new Con
gress has passed and they have not
been able to persuade the new Pres
ident to call the Extra Session before
August. It seems that the only
chance that the campaign speakers
and ward-heelers wanted was a
chance at the public pap.

Kansas Destitution.
Appeals for aid from the people of
Western Kansas are being received
by Governor Lewelling. In thirty
counties in the western part of the
State the wheat crop is a total failure,
and the farmers will not raise any
thing. This demand for aid is the
beginning of a movement for an ex
tra session of the Legislature to ap
propriate $150,000 with which to buy
seed wheat for fall sowing. Meet
ings have already been held in sev
eral counties and petitions have been
forwarded to the Governor praying
for relief and suggesting an extra
session of the Legislature and a direct
appropriation as the quickest and
most feasible way of relieving the
need. At Dighton all the farmers of
Lane county attended a public meet
ing, and all said they would have to
have help or move out of the State.
Men who last year raised 2,500
bushels of wheat said they had none
for seed or bread, and without imme
diate aid hundreds would suffer for
the necessaries of life.
The plan proposed is for the coun
ties to issue script to the State aud
individuals obligate themsedves to
refund to the counties. State Bank
Commissioner Breidenthal, who has
just returned from Western Kansas,
says the people are in many localities
in a destitute condition and are leav
ing the State in great numbers.
Many men will have to leave, he
says, unless they can get help to tide
them over. In the Western half of
the State very little wheat will be
harvested, and in thirty counties
across the West end hot an acre of
wheat will be cut, and with hot
winds and a temperature of 115 de
grees in the shade it is impossible for
corn to grow.
Representative Lobdell, of Lane
county, says the present drought is
the worst the State has experienced
for twenty years, and that the blis
tering hot winds of one hour would
dry up and kill corn even if there
was enough moisture in the ground
to produce growth. Governor Lew
elling said to-day that the perilous
condition of the people in that sec
tion warranted urgent and even ex
treme measures if necessary to give
them relief, but he hoped that there
might be some other plan suggested
to get the necessary money than the
assembling of the Legislature.
The Lower House of Massachusetts
Legislature passed a resolution mem
oralizing Congress to acquire public
ownership of the telegraph and tele
phone systems. The leaven is work

are fast gaining ground. Pass the

Deafness Cannot be Cured

<nly one way to enre Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed conditisn of the

When this tutx) gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored

You Want to Know
.All about It-
How Civil War was Averted.
Complete Account of the Affair from
First to Last by One Who
Was There.
The partisan press and Gould telegraph
sent out the most unfair reports of the
Populists’ position in the legislature diffi
culty in Kansas. These reports have been
enlarged upon from time to time and
heralded by the g. o. p. papers and speak
ers to back up their charges that the Pop
ulists are anything but good citizens.
Realizing the importance of placing the
facts in the hands of the people before
the heat of the campaign, the Farmers'
Tribune of Des Moines, lowa, of which
Gen. J. B. Weaver is editor-in-chief, has
gone to the expense of securing a full ac
ccount of the whole affair by one who
was there and on the inside. Copious
notes were taken at the time and the
narrative can be depended on as reliable
in every respect. Publication will bo
commenced in the Tribune of June 28.
As the opposition will err eav >r to incite
prejudice against the Populists by their
false reports, it behooves every Populist
to become thoroughly posted.
We have made arrangements to club
The People's Party Paper with the
Tribune at only $1.50, and every sub
scriber will receive free the pamphlet,
“ Great Quadrangular Debate ’ (price 25
cents). This discussion was held in Phil

DR. CLIATT’S TESTIMONIAL.
It is unusual for a practicing physician to favor the introduction or sale
of Patent Medicines, but when an article of undoubted virtue and reliability
is brought to our notice, it becomes simply a duty to use it in our practice
and make its merits known to others; as in the case of Lingo’s Liver Regu
lator, we know it to be an excellent medicine, being all that it claims to be
and heart’ly recommend it to all suffering from indigestion, headache, nerv
ousness, loss of appetite, and all other ills arising from a disordered liver

The Lingo’s Liver Regulator did me great good. I can truly and
without reserve recommend it to all who need a Liver Medicine.
April 15, 1893. S. C. McGahee.
WHAT THE MEDICINE IS.
Lingo’s Liver Medicine is a purely vegetable preparation, prepared by a
man of long experience. It is applicable in all cases where the ailment
originates from the Liver—Constipation, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Malaria, etc.
Unlike most liver medicines, it is, with rare exceptions, free from un
pleasant effects following their use, such as nausea and prostration. Sick
headache, nervous headache, flatulence, heartburn, sour stomach and colic
yield rapidly to its effects.
In conjunction with the various preparations of Chinoonia, Arsenic, etc.,
it is invaluable in curing malarial diseases.

If your system is run down and your liver irregular, or
you are suffering from Malaria or Indigestion, give the Medi
cine a trial. You will never prefer any other after you try
this.
