6 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.” Grabbing Gold Costs Too Much. fit. Louis Republic. English financial organs are get ting decidedly interested in America Dne of them says that if the Treasu »y would issue bonds at once, and if he repeal of the Sherman act would ome early and without conditions, jold would instantly travel here in PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER. ATLANTA. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, JULY 7 1893. 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. Mr. Henry A. Holleman, of Gias cock county, is authorized to repre sent this paper in receiving subscrip tions and advertisements. 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. Hartwell. NATIONAL FINANCE AND national taxation i !

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 ing.

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).

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 Thomson, Ga., April 11, 1893.

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. Prepared by Dr. G. W. Durham. Address DR. G. W.
