What Our Exchanges are Saying tn
Kegarit to the Great Crusade.
The intense hatred of the gold maniacs
for Senator Allen, of Nebraska, is
probably to he accounted for by the
fact that he is an honest roan.
A reformer who never get* any
slander nor abuse from the opposition
is certainly tio good. If you movi
forward in this world yon are certain
to rnn against something. A ntes Cen¬

ple.

and their progress obstructed, but even
if the present organization* were, to bn

on just the same. There i» a deep
cause for the uprising and it will not

Why are bond* better than green¬

Humbug.
Harrison,I'h vi lanil and Sherman now
claim to be friends of silver. This is
too bsrefseed to be called a fraud.
NoIhmIy is deceived. It is simply hum¬
bug, slow sort of hypocrisy. All three
favor international bimetallism, that is
to say, the recognition of silver ns a
money metal on the single gold stand¬
ard men’s own terms; say at a rate of
exchange Itsseil on the present money
vslue of silver. No real friend of sil¬
ver will be deceived by such a propo¬
sition. Few of any class w ill la- de¬
ceived by it, but the thousand undone
followers of old party leaders sml old
party polities will repeat the nonsense
of international bmictalliain just the

The Pressure of Gold.
It i« stated that a period of low
prices must necessarily have a depres¬
sing and demoralizing effect on wage*.
Tbi* is not a new tact. It is a* old a*
human experience, but it* operation*
have been more clearly *et forth during
the past twenty year*, or since the de¬
monetization of silver by Germany arid
the United State* than ever before.
Since that event prices have been con¬
stantly going down in all the gold
standard countries. In England and
Germany, especially, the spectacle of
wages following the downward tenden¬
cy of prices has been one of the most
instructive social phenomena of the
time We say “social” instead of
“economic” because the. term in its
larger tense admit* of a definition tlmt
describes the drift of thing* where the
pressure of tin* gold standard iw most
powerful, such phenomenon of fall¬
7 here i* no
ing wage* and price* in i - ranee
though there has been a fall there
for tiie simple reason that the volume
of currency i* on a bimetallic basis —
the silver coin not being convertible
by law into gold and i* large enough
to meet tiie requirement* of all clause*
and idl interest*. Another reason, too
lie* in.the fact tlmt the population of
France is not increasing, It is barely
holding it* own. And yet the fact re¬
main* that France, prosperous as her
people nrs, would in- in a more prusper
Oil* condition today if the value of
the gold- the ptirebasing power of the
gold dollar were not constantly in
e reusing.
in tin* country tie- pre»«urc of tho
single gold standard was not severely
felt until after the closing of the Indian
mint* to silver made a money crisis in¬
evitable. Thin, together with tlm de¬
clared policy of Mr. Carlisle that he
would redeem the silver notes in gold,
only precipitated the “panic” which i*
still with us, and which will continue
to abide with us until silver is made a
definite part of our money of final pay¬
ment. The panic of IK73, preeinoly
similar to the present crisis, tvu* modi¬
fied and mitigated, first, by the law
practically repealing this resumption

cerning the ownership of the building,
which it had been reported had already

building still belonged to the govern¬

treasury had done nothing further
than to consider a proposition for its

Bradstreet’s review of trade says:
“This week is the third in succession iu
which there has been no material gaiu
in volume of business and practically
no improvement iu prospects for trade
in the near future. Continued uncer¬
tainty regarding tariff legislation re¬
stricts trading in ‘futures’ in all staple
lines. This is largely responsible for
the reduction in the volume of bank
clearings.
"The general industrial situation
does not improve, although the strik¬
ing New York and Patterson silk weav¬
ers, who have been out three months
ami have lost over #1,250,000 in wages,

From the standpoint of Mr. Vilas,
the single gold standard is not only
superior to the single silver standard,
but to bi-metalliem. And yet, it would
take him and the class he represents a
thousand years to convince the people
of thin. Tho- single gold standard has
been established by democratic votes,
blit the people u nders tand thoroughly
that the flaSJofny' T/f ihf nfl votes wf*ru
obtained l>j means of fraud ami mis
representation. The democrats were
prevented legislation from bringing the hernian in substitute
for e act by
promises that unconditional repeal was
only the first step toward carrying out
tho democratic policy, and that the
second and final step would be prompt
ly taken m ftoon as the “threat of

A Few “Goins.”
From a circular issued by Chapp &
Co., Bankers and Brokers, N. Y r ., we
clip the following “gents:” “Values
are more than 16 per cent less (than
one year ago) and far below cost of
production everywhere.” “Bears and
consumers have had a long inning. It
is about time the producer bo given
a chance.” “Only three Mays in the
last 30 years has wheat sold under 80
cents in Chicago.” It is now quoted
at 57 cents. “No punishment in any
calling has been longer endured or
more severe and steady than that of
the wheat grower, who has sold at a
loss yearly since 1884, occasionally
giving two bushels where he formerly
gave one to get possession of the coupon
from off his mortgage after reaping
but two bushels where in 1891 he
threshed three.” “July wheat in Chi¬
cago is selling only about one cent
over May, ami at the lowest price at
this season of the year ever known."

they’d take a back at mine. I’ve put
in fifty years farming. I never drank
liquor in any form, I’ve worked from
tec. to fifteen hours a day, been eco¬
nomical in cloz, and never went to a
show mor’a a dozen times in my life;
raise.l a family and learned upwards
of 200 calves to drink out of
a tin pail without blowing
their victuals up my sleeve. Mr

toiled al : : together, and hardly had

Monopoly l of land, labor, taken money,

the oportunities to gain a living from
the many \ and concentrated them in the

virtuaU *jj Work on these terms or
JJut ut a
Q n0 blindred years ago the public
domain was practically untouched, and
the supply of vacant and unowned
land so far exceeded the demand that
the speculator could not corner all
available territory and ask a bonus for
tho privilege of development. But
now in all industrial and commercial
pursuits rent has become an impor¬
tant factor, exacting a large share of
the profits which should be shared be¬
tween capital and labor and pushing
up the rates with the increase of pop¬
ulation and growth of business.
The manufacturing monopolists have
secured the home market for them¬
selves by a protective tariff, and while
forbidding the foreign product, bring
iu the men who make them almost
unmolested. These men control all or
nearly all the labor in these lines and
by their trusts and combines force up
the price and press down the wages.
They have practically destroyed our
ocean commerce and have reduced ag¬
riculture below a paying a basis.
Since the war the finances of the
nation have been changed and manip¬
ulated in the interest of the national
banks and money lenders of this
country and the bondholders and cap¬
italists of Europe. The volume of
currency has steadily decreased and
the value of all other products has
fallen with it. The lessened medium
of exchange has contracted the inter¬
nal commerce until all over the coun¬
try business is languishing for lack of
sufficient money to facilitate exchanges.
The railroad, telegraph and tele¬
phone companies have levied tribute
on ali means of communication for all
tho traffic will bear. Often built by
national or local subsidies, their
charges are only limited by the abili- ’
tr of the shipper or the competition
consequent on the disruption of a
pool. This is why the western farmer
is clothed iu Tags, while the eastern
weaver goes hungry, and the average
annual salary of the railroad president
18 #-5,000.
Remove these causes and Coxcr and
calamity will go with them. WimA

CYCLONE IN OHIO.

A Village Wrecked, Seven Persons
Kitted and Thirty Injured.
The village of Kunkel, in Williams
countv, Ohio, was almost entirely de
stroyed by a cyclone Thursday ifter
noon. Seven lives are known to have
l»een lost; thirty persons were injured,
some of them fatally, and more than
fifty house* were demolished. Kunkel
is a town of about 3“0 inhabitants, in
the extreme northwestern part of the
state, ’, on the Detroit and Logansport 1

TIIE CONFERENCE A FAILURE.
Tli Miner* and Operators Could Itgach
"1m Agreement. - .
The great conference at Cleveland,
Ohio, between the representatives of
the 200,000 striking miners and oper¬
ators, representing every coal mining
district in the United States, has ended
in failure. The two interests came
together, presented their demands,
discussed the conditon of the min¬
ing trade in all its bearings, found
their differences irresoncilable and will
depart for their homes, leaving the
situation at the mines, in apparently
the same condition of suspense that it
was before the conference was called.
Disheartened Strikers.
Since the beginning of the strike in
the coke region, about one mouth ago,
the situation has never appeared so
unfavorable to the strikers as at pres¬
ent. That they will ultimately lose
the contest now seems a certainty.
The action of the Cleveland convention
in refusing io recognize the strike—
its cutting off of all offers and prom¬
ises of financial support —is regarded
as the killing blow.
