The opinions of men ore formed from
what toqy know of a- thing. It Is a
very greet mistake to form or express
an opinion- before we know toe farts.
Our" system of government disfran
chises a man to oases of trials by Jury,
when We and liberty to Involved, who
h-ast formed or expressed an optocon as
to toe guilt or innocence of the accused.
We must first hear the evidence, get
the facts, a-nd then make our verdict.

the biggest silver advocates in the

has hoisted rails for the 'Eastward, go

is honest, 1 guess, but Just <us bidly
mistaken as he wus to his college days,
when the boys in a literary society, of
which he was a. member, passed a
resolution to assess each member 50
cents for the purpose of huylngi a
oh-aradel'cr for their meeting hall.
When arose, addressed the president,
and declared: "While ho would pay his

didn't understand toe thing—that's all.
He wHl bo toe same Way about stiver.
He don’t uoderataad toe totae—that’s
all. The boy w.-th a- podket-fall of neck-

follow with only ai few pieces of gold,
but he’s Just counting trig c-hlckrem be

a,te quality folks. You have heard
nlbout the feMoW -who wanted to break
h a young oxen. He made his yoke
a-n|d bow; fixed up hta wncon-sll ready
for buritoeiw. But toe thought struck
hi-m th an hta oxen- had never been bro

He was afraid to bitch them up to Ms
new wagon, So he wr,eluded tha-t he
would try them one at a time—-be tat-
tog toe place of one, Adjusting hts
yV-ke and bow to t he neck of his young
ox, ho then took his pool Horn, place I
the other bow around h-ls ownrrieck and
Ir-t-o the yoke, and gave the word, “go-
lonig.” The young ox proceeded, but
when- he discovered toe wagon, he grew
wild—-ran a-t full -tilt. His owner, who
was phyitg hta mate, could not con-
trol him—and awuy they merit at a.
ra-pM gait. Seo'mg Ms predicament,
and dnulMltty to control the young fel
low, he shouted to the villagers for help
-bred us! Head us! he cried. Hoad
us, somebody, or we will kill our fool
selves. Ho Just didn't understand the
thing—that's all.

-I have heard It related that one of
the greatest men that Georgia ever pro
duced, while a student at the Untvcr-
«ty of Georgia, was with tie fellows
engaged one night on toe campus tn
some little paat-thne -riohutilve of the
discipline. "When on being discovered
by some of the faculty, they *11 fled be-
for his coming, save the gentleman In
question, -whose looamotSon, Incident to
too nature of their fun- prevented hts
activity. Perching himself up ogalhst
one of the laxgo oaks, he awaited toe
professor's oomlng. and saluted him
with with the remark, ‘The wicked
fle-eth when no man, pursueth, but tho
righteous stand bold Hko a l!on."
-Now, boys, stand -firm, hold your
places among tnnn—don't geft frightened
because "Coin” gets mad. They say
‘‘Ootof' has * ellver mine—sympathize
with the poor fellow. Self preservation
te tho float taiw of mature. This govern
ment te not our enemy; tt is n-at pur
suing, toe righteous, “stand bold like
a lion,” for no one pursueth. There
are a few fellows running wild, but
they will soon hollow ‘head us! hod

voice:
"The great majority of our people
render service for wages in ora- f,-rm

purchase Jo toe markets everything
they cat. drarik or wear, and tn most
cases they ace compelled to pay root
for the ine of a home for themselves

they ha ve no Ktlvwr bullion to carty to
the m-lota to be coined alt the pubic
expense; they hare n-o-ifavng to dispose
of hut -their labor omd their Skill, and
es a. floaaral rule all, or substantially
all, the wages they receive must be
used 1» securing commodities for the'
lersotbl use of' thenasrtves and those
epondqnt upon- them. They cannot
eat, drink or wear the money pild to
them for theft- labor, nod it tt valuable
to them only because they can exchange
It for the necessaries and comforts ot
)-fe; and there never was a- time In
tbo history of -the world whew the work
ingman’s dollar would buy as much of
the necessaries and comforts of Ufa ns
•Will buy now, and there never was
time to the history of the world
when- the working mnm received moro
rood dollare for the same amount of
labor than he necettes now tn thl* coun
try. Any policy which reduces the
value of this dollar or the day tt ta
earned or on the day it te expended,
by dtaatatab-og Its purchasing power in
the marloats, bias precisely the same ef
fect upon the holder as ff the amount
paid for hte labor wore reduced. If,
therefore, -the favorite, argument of the
advocates of free coinage— that tho free
coinage of sliver at th-e nartto cf 18 to
would double the prices -of all prod
ucts—te correct, -the wages of the labor
ing roam-.would purehaso under that sys
tem only one-half what they no-w pur
chase. This would undobtedly be the
rase unless wages should also be doub
led, wbloh, according to tho uniform
experience of the past. Is « most Im
probable thing. For more tha.n a- quar
ter of s. century the -working people
of the United Sta-tra h-ave struggled
earnestly and pens'stoutly, through
their labor organizations and otherwse,
to inarease their wages to a- point which
would enable them to live decently and
comfortably by expending their cann
ings for commodities nt tholr present
prices, and how long -do you think they
would hare to straggle to the future
to raise their wwgos -to a point which
would enable them to ‘purchase the sa me
articles when their prikvs have been
doubled? No man to thts audience will
live to see such a- result accomplished,
and the laboring man who supports tho
free coinage of depredated silver dol
lars must be eonitent to live and sup
port hte (family upo-o wha,t depreciated
silver dollars Wll buy. My position
upon this subject te that when' t-he la
borer receives a- dollar on account of his
wages ho has a- right to bo assured tha t
tt will purchase os wuoh In the market
aa any other ma-afs dollar, -or if he
desires to lay tit up for use to a. ttoie
of need, he has a right to bo assured
thia-t tt -will be worth as much, when: he
wa-rits to spend tt as ft was worth on
the day he ewm-ed It.”
