While in New Yolk a few days ago,
Hofl. Put Waish iu an interview, said
“Mr. Black would be re-nominated in
the Tenth and that Hie people wore for
t f roe coinage of stiver at 10 to 1.
It is a well-known fact, that Major
Black is not a friend to silver, llis
lost \ ete in Congress on this question
don’t harmonize with the 10 to 1 ratio.
Trot the Major out gentlemen, the peo¬
ple are ready for the light.
The Supreme Court would have us
l ehev c that our Constitution is so weak
that we cannot, through Congress,pass
an act that will tax money kings. Gold
bugs would have us believe that our
government is so that we cannot have
a monetary system of our own, but
must adopt England’s system, The
people, however, know that neither is
tu;;>, and that greed is behind their
doctrines.—Farmer’s Outlook.
And even Sam Jones is getting his
eyes open. Here is what he recently
said in a Western State;
•‘When Tom Watson, of Georgia,
was elected to Congress and went to
Washington he wrote hack accounts of
what those red-nosed whiskey hums
were doing. At the next election Wat
son got 5,000 majority, but the grand
old Democratic party counted him out.

that the president will board the pupils
on the co-operative plan, thus reducing
the cost to a minimum. This is an ad
mirable arrangement.”—Southern Ed
ucational Journal.
Kind reader, if you will take the
trouble to get the aggregate of the
above figures, you will find that the}
amount to the handsome little sum of
$7,100, if we have not erred in our ail
dition. It does not require an expert
in subtraction to ascertain that the
above sum will have a very demolish¬
ing effect upon the $10,000 appropria¬
tion for the school. Since reading the
above, wo have been puzzling cere¬
brum to find out President Bnidwell’s
business; and at this writing, we must
frankly confess that wc have not
reached a conclusion, unless he is to
occupy the “chair of Culi-Art.”—
Our readers will observe that every
branch of learning which we suppose
will be taught in the school has been
generously provided for; and }el the
President is assigned no special work,
except that lie will probably “board
the pupils on the co-operative plan.”
Of course, it can be said that his busi¬
ness will lie to supeiintend the school
in general. Rut can the State, at the
vety beginning of the Institution,afford
to pay $1,800 for superintendence
alone ?
It does appear amazingly strange to
us, if Governor Atkinson did not con¬
sider Mr. llradweil as well qualified to
manage the public schools as some
other man, why he should have been
appointed to train the very teachers
who virtuaLy control the public schools.
C0IN AND LAUGHLIN.
The debate between W. II. Harvey,
of “Coin Financial School,” and J. L.
Laughlin, of Hie University of Chicago,
a gold champion, on|finatice, took place
in Chicago on last Friday night. The
argument presented by Mr. liarvey is
its follows;
“The first reason why 1 am in favor
of independent action by this country
is that we shouip not be subjected to
the influences of the governments of
Europe, If people can he ruined by
hanging to the policy of Europe, then
we can be reduced to the saint* financial
legislation as a war of contest would
reduce ns. The inonometaliists mostly
say, 1 We admit bimetallism would be
good if we could get international
bimetallism.’ Iu other words, they
agree that there is something radically
but claim we are tied to the financial
policy of Europe, if financial legisla¬
tion is omt of the classes of class legis¬
lation by which many are robbed aud
the few enriched, by which the. lemon
is squeezed, then it is one of the insti¬
tutions of European governments that
we, as a nation of people,republican in
form, should declare our independence
of. They say, ‘We must have the same
money that they have in order to cany
on business with them.’ My reply is,
The biggest business we ever did carry
on with the rest of the world was when
th ey bad gold and silver as money and
we had neither. We do not now settle
our balances with Europe in coin ex
cept on its commercial value and by
weight. There is no sucti thing as an
international money. Silver is not a
commodity to be measured in gold. It \
is an object to be gored and kicked by
bulls and bears. It is shut out of thej
United States mints. It is token money. |
We would restore to it that unlimited ;
demand it enjoyed prior to 1873. That j
would cause the value of silver to rise ;
compared with gold. This is wnat we
want.
--\Ye would again make the standard
silver dollar the unit of value as it was
before 1873. No man would take less 1
f or jt when he could have it coined at
pleasure into a dollar. Silver is the
people’s mouey. Gold was, aud is the
money of the rich. Twice when the
commercial ratio between the two
metals made it advisable to change the
legal ratio.the change was made by re
coining the gold coins. They were
changed in weight and size. No change
was ever made on the quantity of pure
silver iu the silver unit. We would
make both legal tender in the payment
of all debts. We would repeal the law
of 1878 any! the Sherman law of 1820
authorizing contracts to be taken pay
able in gold ouly. A true kuowledge
of bimetallism and the simplicity of
system decided our ancestors. The
n!u:rtMte use of niiver with gild, which
true bimetallism, would give nrt tins
licit v to our primary money which is
now absent. We would give the
the option of paying in either metal.—

and the balance of trade with England
will double in our favor.”
DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
The Supreme court has declared that
the income tax in every particular is
unconstitutional, and therefore every
vestige of the law is wiped from the
statute books. This decision was ren¬
dered on Monday of this week. This
decision will cut off the $30,000,000 of
revenue expected from the income tax.
hi- thought th.it t.ns
necessitate the calling of an extra ats
Sion Of« ongress in order to tupplv th.
deficit.
it is said that the money kings of
Wall street, are highly gratified at the
decision, knowing that the burdens of
taxation will still vest on the people
least able to bear them.
We are id the opinion that (be time

THE VIRTUES AND SINS OF
WEALTH.
The Farmers Voice of Chicago, one
of the best agricultural papers iu the
United Stales, is constantly in the
habit of saying good things through its
editorials, both politically, religiously
and morally, and the following otjq.we
think worthy of a careful reading:
No lensenable pet son can find ground
for finding fault with honestly acquired
and properly managed wealth, ft some¬
times may appear that the crities of the
present condition of things are ene¬
mies to wealth; that'they are socialists
or anarchists. This is not true, Ex
ccpting the mouthing anarchist, no one
has a word to say against the rich be¬
cause they arc rich. It is against the
common methods of acquiring great
weaitli that comp'aint is made. These
methods arc largely dishonest and in¬
human. To claim that a man like tiie
late day Gouid. who never created a
dollar of wealth in bis life, could
honestly acquire $100,000,000in half a
lift -itne is pieposterous. He did not
do it. His fortune was plunder. His
business was that of a sharper, anti in
this respect did not differ much from
the business of our other muUi-millio'n
Hires. Nobody can rearonably do other¬
wise than praise the generosity of the
rich, whatever may be their moihes—
iu bestowing millions upon educational
and charitable institutions; and a great
deal of money has been thus expo nded
by the wealthy. We are glad that they
have been so liberal. But such Sliber

of our large fortunes have been accu¬

AGAINST FREE SILVER.
The fo-.owing . the . ,, Kentucky, . .
nom
Populist, shows the attitude of the .
Democratic press of that State towards
silver;
The Democratic press is almost a j
unit against free siher, and swears
platform the '
that a silver means
disintegration of the party.
One thing is certain. The itileroM*
of the People’s party will be better
reived if the Democrats come out
square for free silver than otherwise.
goch an action would be a surrender
0 f ,iie Democratic partv to a very im
portant Populist idea, and would
(.(.rengthcu our party a!i along the
line,
The elections of last year showed
greater Populist gains in states where
the Democrats came out for silver
than any other, and the story in Mich
igan this spring is a similar one.
A Democratic campaign on a silver
platform, is simply a campaign of edu
cation for the Populists. They will
sow—we will eventually reap,
