WHEN HE WAS HONEST
WHEN HANNA'S GOLD HAD NOT
TOUCHED HIM.
Turry Powdarly Was For Fre® and Un¬
limited Coinage of Silver — Extract
from Ilia Article In tbe North Ameri¬
can Review Printed In 1891.
Terrence V. Powderly, ex-general
master workman, was once an honest
man with honest convictions. Now he
is receiving gross gold for his services
to the enemies of labor—Mark Hanna,
H. C. Payne and the republican party.
In 1891 he wrote for the North Ameri¬
can Review an article entitled “The
Workingman and Silver.” Here are
some extracts therefrom:
• * * “The mechanic and the la¬
borer are as deeply interested in the
free coinage of silver as the farmer
can possibly be, since in earning a
livelihood and in paying as they go all
are equally concerned in the medium
of exchange, The farmer has been
heard on the money question, and the
city workman, although he has not
Fpoken out on the subject, holds views
identical with those of his neighbor on
the farm. * • a
“In congress, at the behest of the
owners of gold, silver was secretly and
utealthily demonetized, This the la-
borer did not see, nor the president
who signed the bill; and within the last
few months statesmen, who were sena¬
tors and congressmen In 1873, when the
demonetization of silver was accom¬
plished. have admitted voting for the
bill without knowing that it contained
the demonetization clause. One states-

naan has not denied a knowledge of the
act of treachery to the people—John
Sherman—and he is to-day the subject
of adverse criticism by nearly every
living man who sat with him in the
senate when that bill waa adopted
without question, on his word that it
contained nothing that interfered with
the coinage of the silver dollar.
*
“Gold is the legal standard to-day be¬
cause the bankers, brokers and gold
owners of the world influenced con¬
gress to make it so. The people never
demanded it, never uttered a sentiment
that could be construed in favor of
monometallism, never petitioned con¬
gress to pass such a law. It was done
when a bill with sixty-seven sections,
as Jong as the moral law, was under
discussion, and was passed through
congress without question, because
that body had faith in the honor of a
committee of three, of which Mr. Sher¬
man was chairman. * * *
“THE TERM ‘FREE AND UNLIM-
1TED COINAGE OF SILVER’ IS
MISUNDERSTOOD. MANY BELIEVE
IT TO MEAN THAT EVERYTHING
1N THE SHAPE OF SILVER BUL-
LION AND OTHERWISE WILL AT
ONCE BE COINED IN UNLIMITED
QUANTITIES AND THROWN INTO
THK STREET. ONLY THOSE WHO
HAVE SILVER TO COIN WILL TAKE
IT TO THE MINT AND ONLY
THOSE WHO EARN IT WILL,
OR SHOULD LEGALLY BE PER-
MITTED TO POSSESS IT. ‘BUT
THEN THE .FOREIGNERS WILL
SEND THEIR SILVER HERE TO
BE COINED IF IT IS FREE
AND THAT WILL GIVE US TOO
MUCH MONEY’ IS ANOTHER
CRY r . IF A DOLLAR’S WORTH

“The cry that we will have too much
money if silver is remonetized and
made the equal of gold’ is unworthy of
consideration. No nation ever yet com¬
plained of having too much money or
suffered through that catise. HarJ
times and panics are due to contrac¬
tions ,end not expansions, of the cur-

FOREICN CAPITAL.
The Amount IUTeated fa the United
States.
We have time and again warned the
American people that Great Britain is
rapidly becoming master of this coun¬
try through loans and purchases, but
the pepole seem to ignore the fact be¬
cause the old political parties that hold
them in thrall ignore it. But it is a
serious question for Americans never¬
theless, and we scoff and deride the
boasted patriotism that can look upon
it with indifference.
A few weeks ago we published a list
of lands held by foreign nobles and syn¬
dicates, which was of itself enough to
waken even a dying patriotism. We
are now able from a recent issue of the
New Y ork World to give the cash value
of British holdings in the .United
States as follows:
Bonds ................ $1,250,000.000
Mines................. 150,000,000
Gas light companies .... 50.000,000
Electric light companies. 50,000,000
Breweries .............. 35,000,000
Stockyards ............ 20 , 000,000
Cotton mills........... 20 , 000,000
Flour mills............ 10 , 000,000
Dressed beef companies.. 10 , 000,000
Rolling mills ............ 10 , 000.000
Distilleries .............. 5,000,000
Grain elevators.......... 5,000,000
Sash and door factories... 5,000,000
Leather goods factories.. 5,000,000
Food produce companies. 4,000,000
Paper mills.............. 3,500,000
Ship yards .............. 3,500,000
Potteries ............... 3,000,000
Varnish works........... 2,400.000
Rubber mills ............ 2 , 000,000
Miscellaneous ......... 50.000,000
Real estate.............. 1,500,000,000
Total $3,193,500,000
The World declares, and truly, that
figures of such an amount can scarcely
be appreciated. It is thirty times
greater than the amount ordinarily
in the United States treasury. It is
four times as large as the sum total of
the nation’s immediate resources as
shown by the official report of the sec¬
retary of the treasury at the end of
the last fiscal year. At the end of the
civil war the nation’s debt was $2,773,-
000,000, or $400,000,000 less than what
the British now own in the United
States. To-day, with the national debt
fallen to about $1,500,000,000, the Brit¬
ish could pay it twice over by taking
out of the American pocket what be¬
longs to them.
McKinley’a Silver Vote.
Answering a question of a subscriber,
the Cleveland Plain Dealer asserts that
Major McKinley “voted on the 5th of

McKinley never denied the record of
b * s vote for the ‘free and unlimited

knowledged it on the stump in his de-
ba te with ex-Governor Campbell, Oct-
ober 8, 1891, when he said: ‘In 1877 I
voted to reinstate the ancient silver
dollar as part of the coinage of the
United States.’ The vote of November
5. 1877, on the Bland bill for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver of the
silver dollar was the only one on the
subject that year in the House. The
Bland-Allison bill for the limited coin¬
age of the silver dollar did not reach
the House until February, 1878. Mr.

England — Darla of Kansas Quotes
Good Authority.
Mr. Davis, of Kansas—The president
rightly said that “the inexorable laws
of finance and trade” can not be defied
with impunity. So, having copied the
financial policy of England, is it
strange that we must suffer the same
penalities? In 1865 the people of the
United States emerged from the great¬
est war of modern times. They had
been successful. They had saved the
best government on earth. Money was
plenty, times were good, the national
debt was not large, and, as individuals,
we were “out of debt and prosperous.”
We felt as did the British people after
their great victory at Waterloo, and
the banishment of Napoleon. The
British system of contraction, inaugu¬
rated here in 1866, began to tell on the
clearing house transactions in 1870. In
1873, the same policy struck down sil¬
ver. This was at once followed by a
disastrous panic, distressing the entire
country, as had never before been wit¬
nessed. According to Senator Logan,
it was a “money famine;” and it has
continued ever since w r ith only tem¬
porary abatements.
I have now shown the similarity ol
the British and American financial
policies instituted for the same gene¬
ral purpose, under similar conditions
Ours wa6 and is a substantial copy of
theirs. To show that similar crab trees
bring forth the same bitter fruits, I call
attention to the testimony of eye-wit¬
nesses as to the results in the two
countries. Mr. Thomas Carlyle has

BRYAN PREACHES THE TRUTH
OF THE SILVER CAUSE-
Open the Mills Without Money In the
Pockets of People with Which to Boy
Their Products and They Would Close
Very Quickly.
From the 187th speech made by Mr.
Bryan we take the following lines:
“Our opponents tell us to open the
mills. What is the use of opening the
mills unless people can buy what the
mills produce. Y'ou make pianos and
organs here, but you don’t make them
to play on in the factories. You make
them for people to play on in their
homes. How can people buy pianos
and organs unless they can sell their
farm products for more than enough to
pay taxes and interest on their debts?
(Applause.) You can open all the fac-
tories you will, but unless you put
enough money in the farmers’ pockets
to buy products, you might as well
close your factories.
“Prosperity never came down to the
people from the money changers of
any country on the face of the earth.
(Cheers.) Have your taxes fallen any
in the last 20 years? As a rule, they
are higher. If the price of your pro-
ducts is cut in two, 3 'ou must work
twice as hard to pay the same amount
of taxes as you used to. The gold
standard means half time in the fac¬
tories and double time on the farms to
make the same amount of money. It
means half time in the factories be¬
cause there is not work enough for
the people to be employed full time,
and it means double time on the farm
to make a living. Make times a little
GOV. OGLESBY.
Extracts from a Delivered by the Ex-Governor of Illinois.
There is a universal prostration of
business. The American people are
honest, and will not favor repudiation.
There are fewer fools and perhaps
fewer critical scholars than in some
other nations; ours are industrious
orderly, liberty-loving people. Though
millions are unemployed, most desire
to work—their idleness is enforced. In
the east I hear the west are studying
repudiation; but I know not a man
here that would take the advantage of
law or technicalities to injure a pubfic
creditor. They pay all they agree to
pay, and only demand their lawful
rights. For a few months I am per¬
mitted to vote for half of this great
state, and I mean to give no just
ground to any one to charge me with
being a repudiator.
Hard times compel us to study all
about gold, silver and paper currency;
and the people ask, what is money? It
isn’t realty, or personality, nor high-
wines nor hymn books. Some say it is
accumulated capital. Well, then, how
much does an average man need of it?
Some say $10, some $20 and some *>ay
$100 a head. The amount differs in dif¬
ferent countries and statesmen differ.

PEAR MIGHTY GLAD OF IT. Well
very few knew of it; the people were
not consulted, and they feel that they
were tricked by somebody. The people
are usually quite revengeful, when
sharp practices are played on them.
You all remember -when the Dred Scott
decision, and when the Nebraska bill
were sprung upon the people; well,
they did not rest until they took re¬
venge upon the interests assisted by
these measures. Well, the people feel
the same way about this silver busi¬
ness, and capitalists had better take it
back.
I SHALL VOTE FOR THE RE¬
MONETIZATION OF SILVER JUST
AS IT WAS, AT THE FIRST OP¬
PORTUNITY. HERE COMES A FEL¬
LOW AND SAYS: “GOVERNOR,

harder, and instead of working three
days out of the week you will be glad
to work two. Make them a little hard¬
er, and instead of working two days,
you ■will be fortunate if you get one.
Make times a little harder and the pur¬
chasing power of a dollar won’t bother
you because you won’t have any dollars
to purchase with.
“Show me a man who makes his mon¬
ey out of legislation and I will show
you a man who will stand on a street
corner and abuse people who want to
have legislation for themselves. Show
me a man who has made his money cut
of unjust laws and he will deny legis¬
lation that can be of any benefit to
anybody. Show me a man engaged in
unlawful business and I will show you
a man who says he is opposed to my
election for fear I won’t enforce the
laws. (A voice: 'They are afraid you
will.’) That is the trouble. The very
people who have been using legislation
as a means of private gain are the ones
who denounce anybody if he thinks the
laws ought to be just. The people who
Jsed the law to strike down silver in
1873 are the onea who most bitterly
lenounce anybody who wants to use
the law’ to bring silver back and put it
in an equalitj’ with gold.
“There has never* been a change in
he weight of a silver dollar since the
lays of Washington. The silver dollar
was good enough until we turned our
ireasury' over to the financiers of Wall
?treet and nothing is good enough for
.hem.” (Great cheering.)

President Ivee raises the issue
squarely between the railroads and the
farmers.
The railroad corporations through
their stock jobbing departments, have
contracted large debts and made those
debts payable in gold.
Railroad charges being largely fixed
by law, the managers of these corpora¬
tions are eupporting the scarce money
policy, well knowing that scarce money
means dear money, and that dear
money means cheap prices for farm
products. President Ives opposes free-
silver coinage because he does not want
the price of flour and meats increased.
Those who advocate the election ol
Mr. Bryan say that, while free coinage
wijl raise the price of flour and meat,
it will also advance the price of every
other product of labor and benefit every
laborer in the land-
