F1UENDS OF SILVER ■
MUST QUIT THE CORRUPT OLD
PARTIES.
Tom Watson fit Georgia Points Out the
Criminality of Pree Silver Advocates
Trying to Ituo the Old Parties—Losing
Time.
Hon. Thomas E. Watson, ex-con¬
gressman of Georgia, who stood to¬
gether with other Populists true and
unflinching on the Omaha platform,
talks to "free silver republicans" and
“free silver democrats” and shows
plainly the inconsistency of their re¬
maining with their old parties.
nays:
Is there anything that need be said
to a free silver republican further than
that his party Is openly and avowedly
the party of contradiction, and has
burnt more money since the civil war
than England itself ever destroyed.
From McCulloch to John Sherman the
record is one “damnable Iteration of
bonds, burnt greenbacks, resumption,
contraction, gold reserve, demonetiza¬
tion of silver, parties and ruin.
To the free silver democrat is there
anything that can be said more con¬
vincing than the record of his own
party a record so recent the ink is
scarcely dry on it?
Throughout the land go orators and
editors preaching free sliver democ
racy: Bryan here and Bacon there!
Walsh here and Howell there; Bland
here and Voorhees yonder, what does
it all amount to?
Nothing:- literally nothing. It’s the
coldest trail that ever was harked upon;
the stalest wine that was ever drunk;
the shabbiest, thread barest political
coat that ever was donned.
Free silver In the democratic party
Is a back number, a tale that is told, a
song that lias been sung, a cold dish
that rio cook, however cunning, can
warm over again.
Can Bryan make better arguments
for silver than Carlisle did? Can Bacon
declare more zealously for silver than
Gordon did? Can Howell write more
forcefully for sliver than he did in
1892?
Can oratory and penmanship make
the democratic parly more overwhelm¬
ingly in favor of silver in 1895 than it
was In 1890, 1891 and 1892?
Wasn't the party well-nigh unani¬
mous for silver in 1892?
Can It ever In 1 so again?
Even if It could, can anybody be¬
lieve that it would any more enact a
free coinage law than It dill hi 1892?
If a democracy apparently unani
moils for silver slaughtered the Slier
man law, how on earth can any sane
mtin ask the country to trust demoe
racy again when it has so emphatically
proven its profound antagonism to
Jeffersonian blmotallifnn?
The republican party domina ted by
the capitalists of the east and the
north offer no hope for silver— no hope
to tho south and west.
The people’s party is the natural
rallying point of the producing sec¬
tions, and the friends of free silver
should Join us. We have been tried
and we have been found true, W**
voted in congress as we talked on the
hustings.
We were faithful to our colors amid
Jeers, Insults and temptations, We
have borne defeat rather than renounce
principles. \\ e have suffered ostracism
rather than betray trust, Wo have
lined the English language not to con¬
ceal our political creed hut to declare
It.
We have been manly enough to say
what we believed, and constant enough
to stand to It,
The democratic party can never unite
the friends of silver Its machine and
Us record forbid.
The republican party can never unite
the friends of silver its machine and
Its record forbid.
The people's party ('AN unite them.
Its machine (so far i( has one) and Us
record are In accord with its plat¬
form. and its platform neither straddles
nor dodges nor turns somersaults.
Would that the friends of silver could
unite with us, and inaugurate a move
ment which would liberate the pro¬
ductions from the fearful tyranny of
the parasite sections the east and the
north.

Why is it that the advocates of a
gold standard decline to give the
real reason which influences them to
oppose free silver? if you ask a
farmer why he favors bimetallism, he
will tell you that it is because bimetal¬
lism is a good thing for him; if you
ask a laboring man why he is in favor
of bimetallism he will tell you that it
is because it is a good thing for him.
Ask the merchant why he is in favor
of bimetallism and he will count up th >
shrinkage in his stock as the dollar
has risen in purchasing power and tell
you that h< is in fa\er of bimetallism
because it will help him. But if you
ask the financier why he is in favor of
a gold standard, is he candid enough
to say that it is because a gold standard
will help him' No. he always tells you
that he might really profit by the free
coinage of silver, but he is so unselfish
that he will ignore that which is best
for him in order to bring the blessings
of a gold standard to those who an
opposed to a gold standard. Is not thi:

What On** I.if*- CoHta.
There Is abundant material for the
novelist In the tragic end of Charles
Gorman, who was shot to death by Offi¬
cer Rosenthal Monday night near the
Auditorium hotel.
Gorman hao seen out of work sev
oral months and was penniless. He
had left a wife and child In St. Paul,
and received a telegram Monday that
the latter had died. He tried to borrow
enough money to buy a ticket to St.
Paul to see his dead baby, but failed.
An attempt to pawn his revolver
proved unavailing, He offered the $18
weapon for a $9 Railroad ticket, but was
refused. He spent all day Monday
trying to beg, boyrow, or raise the
necessary money. At night, crazed by
desperation, he attempted to rob a
saloonkeeper, met with resistance, was
pursued, and shot to death like a
hunted wild animal.
And all this in a city of 2,000,000 peo¬
ple with wealth and affluence on every
hand! Thousands would have gladly
given the pittance he asked if the facts
had been known, but the truth was es¬
tablished too late. It la a cruel world,
my masters. Chicago Dispatch.
That man was shot down as a crim¬
inal but Is there a man in America
with soul so dead and mind so ortho¬
dox that he believes God will condemn
the victim of man’s cruelty and the
criminality of laws?
Poverty causes more crime than ev¬
erything else, and itself is caused prin¬
cipally by the unjust laws favoring spe
cial classes of respectable thieves, and
turning honest laborers out to beg,
steal, starve or commit suicide.
The man who fired tin* shot was
doubtless doing his duty as an officer of
the law but, nevertheless, this man
was murdered murdered by soclety
and every person who neglects his duty
to work and vote for honest govern¬
ment and equal rights'to all, Is in some
measure guilty of this and other mur¬
ders.
'There may he material in this for
the cold-hearted novelist, who ana¬
lyzes hM>an beings as scientists study
insects, plants and rocks, lint to tin
man who lives among human beings
and has a heart instead of a thermom¬
eter in Ids breast, this is a tragedy that
no novelist should dare to touch with
his bloody dissecting knife.
Changed Their Tune.
The gold hug newspapers, especially
those in the north and ei^. aje
pursuing a policy of suppression, hav¬
ing found that the sljver issue could
not be laughed dawn. When the Har¬
vey-Horr debate opened in Chicago all
of the cuckoo organs gleefully predicted
that Horr would simply wipe up the
earth with Harvey, In fact, it was
openly boasted that there would not he
a “grease spot” left of the author of
“Coin's Financial School” when Horr
got tlirough with him. The gold or
guns printed full reports of the first
day’s debate, when to their horror it
was discovered that the tables had been
turned Harvey had literally flayed the
gold bug champion alive. Then there
was a scene like unto that which hap¬
pened after the famous battle of Bull
Run. Those who wont out to see the
rebel Harvey thrashed turned tails and
flew for their holes when “Coin” un
H in bored his artillery. The gold hug
newspapers closed up like clams. They
now refuse to print the debate. Every
newspaper In Chicago, with the single
exception of the Inter Ocean, a free
silver paper, Is Ignoring the contest in
their news columns and trying to be¬
little it on their editorial pages. They
haven’t the nerve to admit that their
man got the wor d of it, and now they
hope to hide their humiliation and eh a
grin by a policy of suppression. But
the people cannot he fooled in any such
style. There are enough other news¬
papers in this country to print the
news. The people will read the debate
and rally to the cause of honest money
the gold and silver of the constitu¬
tion—and when the next election is
held they will rise up in their wrath
and wipe the gold standard contrac¬
tion 1st s from the face of the earth.

VOLUNTARY SLAVERY.
Wage Slaves of ‘Tree America** Who
Prefer Absolute Slnvery for Life,
Spring Valley, Ill., July 5.—The
community is excited by 300 miners
offering to go into voluntary slavery,
if guaranteed, for themselves and
their families, comfortable homes,
plenty of fuel a/id food, and serviceable
clothing. They represent the best ele¬
ment among the miners, and are will¬
ing to serve thus without a cent of
wages. They say they will sign an
ironclad contract.
The miners say that this attitude
will prove that the present trouble
which threatens to result in a strike
is not of their seeking, , During the
past three years they have suffered for
the necessities of life, an(l that rather
than see their families suffer for the
necessities of life they— will become
serfs.—Press dispatch.
Oh, America!! and has it come to
this?
That able-bodied, industrious Amer¬
ican citizens volunteer to submit to a
life of absolute slavery^rather than
take their chances in the field qf com¬
petition, where thousands of producers
must go ragged and hungry while ab¬
sorbers dress in silks and feast on the
cream of all creation without doing
anything at all useful!
Is this the land of the^freo and the
home of the brave?
Or is it the private property of the
monopolist and the prison of the
coward and the slave?
Can a "republic” stand, while the
useful members have to beg for the
privilege of being servants of the use¬
less?
Will the grandsons of revolutionary
fathers consent foreve to remain
serfs in a land where children are
taught to lisp freedom from their cra¬
dles?
Can slaves remain loyal trr the gov¬
ernment that permits tb ’ *o become
,slaves? &
Is manhood already > "rushed in
America that the exatnjje of followed these
poor conquered miners will be
by the many thousands of unemployed
and hungry?
Will American muscle submit to the
lash of wealth it has Itself created?
Do you think It possible that there
nre not thousands of men In the same
condition as these who would fight
rather than submit to such a proposi¬
tion?
Are you in favor of having 300
American citizens become slaves?
Do you think such conditions are
just and necessary?
Would you submit without force if
you were in the same position?
Do you think you are any better
than these men? Do you love your
family any more than they do? Does
God consider you any nobler? Are
you any more useful to the community
than they? Would the capitalists treat
you with any greater consideration un¬
der like circumstances?
Do you vote for the parties whose
administration has fostered such con¬
ditions?
Do you care anything about it at all?
If you don't, perhaps the sooner you
get a similar dose the better.

Hurrah! Hurrah! Our camp fires
Grow bright o’er all the land;
Our lines are drawn, we’re marching
on
In a united band.
Against wrong and oppression
We go in nil our might;
And send on high our battle cry
For freedom and the right.
Chorus—Hurrah! Hurrah!
We hall the morning bright.
Hurrah! Hurrah! For the coming day
Of freedom and the right.
No rich are in our army,
A lowly band are we;
No creed we own but one alone,
And that is—Liberty.
We ask for simple justice,
For that we make our fight,
For home we stand, and native land,
And freedom and the right.—Cho.
All hail! All hail! the morning
At last begins to dawn;
Across the earth we’ll rally forth,
Beneath the rising sun;
And where his beams fall on us
Will bless the gloriouea light.
No hand can stay the coining day
Of freedom and the right.—Cho.

Lofton Circular.
Omaha. Neb., July 20.—We must have
1.000 brave, unselfish Legion scouts.
They can make a living taking orders
for Legion certificates on commission
and organizing Legions. If the scouts
won’t volunteer the people must suffer
tnd liberty will perish. If we cannot
jet men and women who will sacrifice
tnd become martyrs in the people's
muse we will lose the battle and man¬
kind will be enslaved. If we cannot
get noble men and women to save up
their money and pay a dollar for a
Legion certificate we cannot organize
and we cannot send help to Kentucky,
Iowa and Mississippi to our struggling
brethren. If we can carry one of these
states it would mean victory in 1896.
Let us help break the solid south. Let
the people do without something they
need for one week and get the beauti¬
ful Legion certificate. Every dollar is
sacredly used to organize. Remember
we work without money and without
price, and we only appeal to the people
to do what we have done for over three
long years. If we mean to win we must
organize. If we are in earnest we will
stop contributing to any but the peo¬

from the red jaws of defeat. Support
your papers; help your workers; hold
entertainments; help convert the heath¬

every man, woman and child will do his
or her whole duty. Let every one who
can give time to the work send stamps
for papers to organize. Let every mem¬

work, for the time is short and the peo¬

WHY SILVER WON'T CIRCULATE.
The Treasurer Refused to Pay Silver
When It Was Demanded.
The strongest argument against free
silver Is to be found in the fact that
the treasury cannot possibly keep more
than one-elghtli of the total supply of
silver dollars In circulation, They
are put out at every opportunity, but
they will not stay out.—St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The fact that the Globe-Democrat
will give editorial utterance to so out¬
rageous a falsehood as the above shows
to what desperate straits the gold-bugs
are put for something to arrest the
"free silver craze” that is sweeping the
f •: itotryr--Tl!e— maw 1 who* that
knows, and everybody else knows, that
silver is never paid out of the treasury
if it can be avoided. In 1893, when
holders of Sherman notes which were
redeemable in either gold or silver de¬
manded silver for them, Mr. Carlisle
absolutely refused to pay it out, and
they were forced to go out and buy
silver certificates, which he could not
refuse. He was in this way compelled
to pay out silver dollars, but even then
he did it under protest, and made a pub¬
lic announcement that he would have
preferred to pay gold. If the govern¬
ment is so anxious to get the silver dol¬
lars into circulation, why didn’t it pay
running expenses with silver instead
of selling bonds to get gold for that
purpose?—Topeka State Journal (Rep.)
Supremo Court Justices Termed Prosti¬
tutes.
Boston, Juno 1.—H. H. Bryant of
Somerville was held in $500 to-day by
the United States grand jury for send¬
ing a scurrilous postal card through
the mails to the judges of the United
States supreme court at Washington.
The card, which was mailed on April
9, had the Boston postmark on it. and
was addressed: “To the Prostitute
Judges of the Supreme Bench of the
United States, Washington, D. C.”
On the back was written thb follow¬
ing: “After Judas had done his dirty
job he had enough manhood left to re¬
turn his bribe and then forever put
himself beyond human right. His ex¬
ample is worthy of your serious at¬
tention. Private income from land is
unmixed injustice as the same spring
from public effort, and is beyond the
reach of private endeavor. No doubt
that millionaires needed to support
their lordly establishments in various
parts of the world and their luxurious
harems that float upon the seas. But
millionaires have always been a curse
to all people in all times—a deadly
and far-reaching rot to the entire
gamut of morals, both public and pri
vate. You illustrate one phase of
that rot.
(Signed.) H. II. BRYANT.
Somerville, Mass., April 9. 1895.
Bryant has very strong views on the
matter of taxation, and the income
tax decision at Washington is supposed
to have inspired the communication to
the justices.
wh it a Record.
The secretary of the treasury and the
*
administration have made a sorry
financial record for the year. They are
face to face with a deficit of nearly $46,
000 000 and with an increase of our in
terest-bearing : ' indebtedness of $162.-

be excited to the point of desperation,
But Mr CarUsle and his superiors are
apparently as oblivious to the prospects
as a blind man would be of a precipice
that he was approaching. They are
borrowing money right and left to
carry on the government. Pay-day al¬
ways succeeds borrowing. It comes as
surely as death comes, and what the
American people will think when pay¬
day does come and when they pause
to think that the increase of indebted¬
ness is largely owing to the fact that
Mr. Carlisle refused to redeem treasury
notes in silver, though having the legal
authority to do it, remains to be seen.
Judging him by his management of the
treasury, wrn w'ould not trust Secretary
Carlisle with the management of our
business for a month. Yet he is con¬
sidered able enough to manage the na¬
tional finances.—Farmers’ Voice.
ljclvt anil Payment.
One of the ablest speakers at Mem¬
phis said that the logic of the silver
question is included in this principle
of monetary stability: Let the money
of debt bo the money of payment.
And he spoke a good philosophy.
Unless the money of debt is the
money of payment—that is, unless the
value of debt is the value of payment
somebody is injured.
The gold standard has injured the
private debtor because every month
and every year the money standard has
been raised to a level of higher values.
The taxpayer has been injured by a
process which has raised the value of
the money in which public securities
were reckoned and paid.
Every form of enterprise has been
burdened with the weight of appreciat¬
ing debt values. The farm, the fac¬
tory and the railroad have been asked
to pay more than original contracts
contemplated. No wonder ail have
felt, whether or not they perceived
clearly, the drain on strength and vi¬
tality.
As in all movements which originate
in a real grievance, unreasonable ex¬
tremes are demanded by some in the
free sllver moverrtent. and But sound there policy is^lion- in
esty, reason, truth
the maxim that the money of debt
should be the money of payment.—St.
Louis Republic.
Can They Whin It?
Who Is making this fight against sil¬
ver and in favor of gold?
The holders of American bonds.
Who holds these bonds?
The National banks.
Who represents the National banks
in this contest?
Cleveland and the Reform club of
New York.
What is Cleveland’s politics, and
which political party predominates or
controls the Reform club of New York?
Cleveland is a Democrat. Tho presi¬
dent and the chairman of the execu¬
tive committee of the Reform club are
Democrats and the secretary is a Re¬
publican. The membership is one-third
Republican and two-thirds Democrat.
How dees the Georgia Democratic
leaders propose to whip the Bilver fight?
By voting the Democratic ticket and
extending the political life of the party
that murdered silver.
Bankrupt merchants, struggling pro¬
fessions, depressed farmers, half clad
tenants, and idle laborers, do you think
you can whip the fight and better your
condition by such a Don Quixotic war¬
fare?
Flying flags and waving penants
never whipped a battle in the 60’s. It
took lead and iron, directed by brave
men, into the ranks of the enemy, re¬
gardless of the uniform they wore, to
achieve victory.
Rub up your thinking apparatus and
apply a little common sense to your
politics.—People’s Party Paper.
“Anarchy.”
“Why, if the people took that an¬
archist Wayland’s advice, and took all
their money out of the banks, it would
break every one of them,” was re¬
marked to one of my friends (you see,
I have two friends) the other day. Ah!
indeed! and it would be just too awfully
awful if the poor devils would refuse to
furnish the sweet hankers with capital
to conduct their business! Poor, help¬
less dears, to be thus threatened with
dire distress! Just as if these people
knew enough to care for their own sav¬
ings, too! How the poor millions who
are now on the verge of starvation
would shed barrels of briny tears if
those whose speculations have brought
about ail this misery were to feel just
a little of it. How the hearts of the
people must bleed at the bare prospects
of a banker actually doing something
useful! How bravely have these bank
ers come to the rescue of the unfortu
nate in times past—at from 6 per cent
to 36 per cent a year! How they have
stood in the breach—and drawn four

WHAT GROVER T.COSTS
HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT
MILLIONS A YEAR.
Or Eighty Millions More Than It .Costa
Any of the Great European Armies—
Would That We Could Esehang® j
Him.
Though we fear to shock Senator
Hill’s delicate sensibilities, we are
forced by a comparison of the budgets
of great powers to the conclusion that
modern standing armies are not, in
dimensions at least, the economic evils
that they are said to be.
We say “by comparison.” It is only
when ranged beside a Cleveland debt
that the cost of a standing army, like
every other human expenditure, be
coms a minor evil.
It is not only that it costs a great deal
less to keep a standing army on a peace
footing than it does to keep a standing
Cleveland, but when you have a stand¬
ing army you have something pleasant
to look at—a police parade all the year
round, so to speak, You have a vent
for the hot blood and the bad blood of
the population; you have a good school
for physical development for slouchy
young men, and a bulwark against in¬
ternal disorder. But when you have
Mr. Cleveland forthe same or a greater
expense, you have nothing but Mr.
Cleveland and his debt. They are not
decorative or useful in any of the ways
we have indicated in which a standing
army is either decorative or useful, or
both.
The statement of the comparative
expense may seem exaggerated, but is
rather under the mark, It cost us
more last year to keep this one man
than it did France to koop 504,003 men.
That is her establishment. The cost
of it was $126,730,618. The cost of Mr.
Cleveland was the half of $330,000,000,
or $178,000,000.
Germany saves much more than
France by keeping a standing army in¬
stead of a Cleveland. The cost of her
511,995 officers and men last year was
only $88,501,700, a little more than half
the cost of our one officer and man.
Russia also has a bargain in her
standing army, It is some 780,000
strong, and she kept it last year for
236,312,000 rubles, or giving the paper
tokens in which the soldiers were paid
the generous value of 50 cents each,
$118,150,000. This is a round $50,000,
000 less than our standing Cleveland
cost us.
It would pay us, then, as a matter of
outgo, to exchange Mr. Cleveland for a
European standing army, We could
keep one for from $42,000,000 to $88,
000,000 less than it costs to keep him.
To be sure, at American rates of sub¬
sistence we could not have sb large an
army as France, Germany or Russia.
Our present establishment of 27,000
-fp.en , TT, Oft Srfmw.' ’ •
ly. For the annual cost of Mr. Cleve¬
land ($168,000,000), we could keep near¬
ly five times as large a one—say 125,
000 men. Thus 98,000 idle citizens
could have employment.
When we say the cost of Mr. Cleve¬
land, we do not mean the cost of tho
government of the United States. The
$330,000,000 which the standing Cleve¬
land has cost us In the last two year3
in addition to the cost of the govern
men, as properly administered.
Therefore, we say again that it costs
us from $42,000,000 to $88,000,000 more
annually to keep this one, neither
decorative nor useful man, than it does
France to keep 564,603, Germany to
keep 511,995, and Russia 780,000, both
decorative and useful men.—New York
Press.
IT IS COMING.
All the Powers of Hell and Plutoeraey
Can’t Stop It.
My old party brother, you think this
reform movement will not succeed,
don’t you? Quite sure of that, eh?
That’s what the tories in Washington’s
day said about the reform movement.
That’s what the slave power said. But
they succeeded somewhat, didn’t they?
Do you think you know anything about
the forces behind this movement?
Well, you don’t. Not having read tho
ethics of the case, and not knowing
what influence it has on the ideas, you
are not qualified to judge. This move¬
ment under one name and another has
been gathering force for thirty years.
At first there were only a few and they
had no literature. If It could have been, ,
killed it would have been strangled in
its infancy. But you cannot kill ideas
except by substituting better ideas.
The revolution is spreading as rapidly
as the panic and as world-wide. Every¬
where are new papers springing up,
new books, new pamphlets. It appeals
to men’s reason. The present appeals
to prejudice. Prejudice Is never pro¬
gressive. We want a better system for
all. We are going to have it and all
