Como to see us. Mr, WAL-
L. In.fh.e' closing paragraph of a
recent article criticising the Hous
ton School Law, and after showing
by the facts in the case that the
law wouldih its operation 'oppress
the poor of the county, including
the widow .and orphan, we asked
tthe question, “Is not this emula
ting .th.e^ exemplifications of the
general government?”
! This question amounts to an al
legation, to the effect that the. gen
eral government is administered in
such a way as to oppress the poor
laboring men of the chantry. Now,
if jpa will allpv^ «pac.^j|c&rgh
We Tyill bring the facts And- figures
to bear in support of the allegation.
Let us take a retrospective
view of the actions of the govern
ment a few years since. What did
it do in regard to .the coinage of
silver? It suspended the opera
tions of all the mints in the coun
try, and established a government
mint, limiting (at present) the
amount of Silver to be coined to
2,000,000 ounces per month, and
authorized the Secretary of the
Ttreasury to purchase this amount
of silver at its market value, which
he gets at from:80 to 81 cents.
The party now in controll of the
government is exulting over the
fact that within the last twelve
years they have made for the
people (as they claim) $67,000,000.
Now, if the government has made
$67,000,000, the question naturally
arises, who has lost this amount?
It is very evident that that some
body must have lost it.
Who is it that is forced to sell
his silver at just what he can get
for it? Is it the man who owns
millions, he who has more silver
bullionthan any one else? No. The
bullion answers his purpose in the
great railroad deals just the same
as so many silver dollars, and as
long as he can wield an influence
over the government, and prevent
its being coined, the currency is
correspondingly contracted, hence,
as a natural result, stocks and
bonds of all kinds go down, so he
is not only better able to scoop up
the railroad stock, but the--bonds
of all kinks, thus growing richer
by the oppression of the people.
Who then, is it that is forced to
the necessity of selling their silver
at such a, heavy discount? Why,
it is the poor laboring man—the
man who is toiling hard and grap
pling with the common enemy—
poverty—the man who has the
shovel in one hand and the pick in
the other. He who digs the pre
cious metal out of the mother earth
—he it is that is forced to the ne-.
cessityof selling his silver, the
product of his labor,;for just what
he can get for it. How is this
great evil to be averted?
The remedy is simple if it was
in the hands of the people.
It consists simply in the repeal
ing of the law suspending the op-
peration of the various private
mints in the country, and the. en
actment of a law granting the free
and unlimited coinage of silver
bullion into legal tender dollars,
thus not only giving the poor miner
100 cents for every dollar’s worth
of silver, but it would fluctuate the
common currency to such an ex
tent as to put new life in com
merce; business would react, the
poor laborer could pay his debts
(including his subscription) and
have a little to lay np “for rainy
days.” There is no fundamental
cause for the present great depres
sion and contraction of the circu-
ating medium, save a ruthless
eculation.
A summary of the statistics'for
the last thirty-two years , will prove
is assertion to a demonstration. -
According to the Secretary’s re-
ort of July 4,1860, tlie amount of
money in circulation was $485,-
000,000, making a per capita of
$13.85. With a per capita of only
$13.85, and but one millionaire in
the country; the people were in
comparatively easy circumstances.
Those heavy.legalized speculative
deals were unknown to the people.
Iu 1865 there was in circulation
$723,000,000, with a per capita of
§20.82. The circulation nearly
doubled in five years, and the per
capita increased about one-third.
In 1885, just twenty years- later,
we had a circulation amounting to
$1,292,000,000, with a per capita of
$2402. Within the last twenty
years the circulation has increased
nearly one hundred per cent. Si*
years later, January 1, 1891, the
circulation had increased about ten
per cent, giving us $1,529,000,000,
with a per capita of $2410; this is
the largest per capita ever known
in the history of the country, and
strange to say, that the .people
were called upon to witness snehru
great depression iu financial cir
cles.
Where is the money? It is in
the ruthless clutches of specula
tors, waiting an opportuueMiAP to
scoop in the substance of the labor
er. ".- ■" '■
August 4 1891, seven months
we began to' feel the depression
more sensibly,of $1,500,000,000,and
a per capita of $23.47, Hence, we
see that as^soon as the circulation
;began-fo decrease, with, a correk
poudfngdecrease of per capita,
Repression iu commercial, as well
as in financial circles, began to be
alarming. Where, is the funda
mental cause for the sore depres-
sion’Rhat now prevails in business
circles?
We aver that it-is in -the specu
lative schemes of the government
in favor ot great corporate corn pa
nies. The figures will show" die
detrimental effect these schemes
have had upon the country. _ Let
us go back forty years and exam
ine.the figures, which will prove to
a demonstration what, effect these
speculative schemes have had.
In 1850 the aggregate value of
all assessed property was shown to
be $7,135,780,228, and in 18S0,
thirty years later, it was shown to
be $16,905,993,543, an increase of
all property,of nearly 250 percent.
This is a good showing for our
country. An increase of something
over eighty per cent, in each ten
years for a period of thirty years.
Iu 1890, ten years later, it is
shown to be $24,249,588,804, show
ing an increase of but fifty per
cent. against eighty per cent, for
each ten years for the thirty pre-
ceeding years. Of this increase
eight of the Southern states fur
nish $948,322,123) divided as. fol
lows:
Georgia $137,894,135.
Alabama $74,213,213.
Florida, $45,988,629.
Louisiana $74,158,351.
Mississippi $46,890,777.
North Carolina $56,597,085.
Tennessee $135,731,566.
Texas $379,447,805. *
Virginia $53,967,606.
Sffowing an average gain of a
little over $1,000,000 in the eight
mentioned states, while South Car
olina decreased in assessed valua
tion to the amount of $i;'115.7,497.
Why this great fall spin the as
sessed valuation of the property of
oar country? What has checked
the developinent of our resources?
The above figures sboV' conclu
sively that the ratio of increased
valuation of all property, decreased
from 1880 to 1990, (a period of ten
years)about thirty per cent. How
does this show up for the protec
tive tariff system in operation dur
ing this last mentioned period?
This is the result of the oppression
of the laboring class in. the relation
they bear toward the development
of the various industries and re
sources of the country, in conse
quence of the iniquitous tariff
laws. The following] figures have
been steadily increasing for the
last six years, the tariff laws to the
contrary nothwithstanding.
Am’t imported 1886 $635,436,135.
“ “ 1887 $692,318,763.
•' 1888 $723,857,114.
“ « 1888 $745,131,652-
“ “ 1890 $788,310,408.
We have an average for the above
five years of $717,231,016.
- For 1891 we have imports to the
amount of $844907,117, an in
crease of $127,676,101, dnrin'g the
last year, thus showing that the de
pression in financial circles are
greatest when the amonnt of im
ports are the heaviest. The amount
of import (tariff) duties is added
to the selling price, hence the- con
sumer has the duty to pay, and
not the manufacturer of other
countries, as the party now con
trolling the government claim.
The manufacturers of this country
put a corresponding price on their
goods, and have no duties to pay,
hence, the amassing of such great
fortunes by the manufacturers of
this countrj.
These facts and figures show to
aRemonstration that here consists
the key that locks the Taults, and
oppresses the people.

Since then the Republicans have
exhausted all thier' resources in
trying to prove that the promise
of Messrs. McKinley and Aldrich
was being kept—that the tin-plate
industry ■ was-in - rapid process of
being established. They have not
been very successful. Tin-plate
mills are, presumably,rather heavy
and substantial affairs, bnt those
described in Republican newspa
pers have shown a remarkable ca
pacity for evading those in search
of them, unless the searcher were
a Republican newspaper reporter.
In consequence of this peculiar
faculty of the tin-plate mills, the
public has grown somewhat skep
tical in regard to them, and while
not denying their existence, is dis
posed to think they do not amount
to much.
This disposition will be strength
ened, we think, by twq> recent
events. One is the publication in
a St. Louis newspaper, in which
city the tin-plate industry is sup
posed to. centre, of the statement
that the tin-plate manufacturers in
this country have found the Me
Killjoy tax entirely inadequate for
theiiiprotection, and will ask con
gresd to pile on one cent more per
pound—thus making the tax three
times as high as Mr. McKinley
found it. They would hardly do
this if their business were growing
so rapidly as the Republican pa-
pers-say it is. •
The other recent event to which
we refer is the formation of the
Tin-Plate Consumers’ Association,
composed of 250 firms and indi
viduals, the object of which is “the
acquirement of reliable informa
tion respecting the progress and
development of the manufacture of
tin-plate atjipme and abroad; the
careful watching of legislation af
fecting the interests of consumers
of tin-plate; the compiling of reli
able statistics concerning the trade,
and also in securing of such united
action for theRefense of the trade
interests as may be necessary.”
The association is purely non-po
litical, but-at proposes to defend
its interests against the machina
tions of the 'Republican tin-plate
mills that play hide and seek with
investigators. The association has
already been doing some investi
gating on its own account, and has
met with no better success, appa
rently, than tfie reporters of Dem
ocratic'papers, as it declares that
the whole production of American
tin-plate does not amount to 1‘per
cent, of its consumption. .Even
that trivial amount can be bought
only at higher prices .than a simi
lar grade of foreign plate.-
in the face of a showing like
this, and a confession from the
manufacturers that the govern
ment must practically confiscate
other people’s tin-plate bafore they
can mak^ aiiy, it is time for the
heretofore active tin-plate liar to
retire from busines.

know what it was that started Dave
Hill down the devious path of
bachelorhood? "Well it was nei
ther more nor less than the same
maleyolent combination which
started the big Chicago fire—a cow
and a lamp. It occurred thnswise:
When Dave was a callow youth of
20 or thereabouts, he was desper
ately in love with a certain 16-year
old village r ]belle, whose name we
will suppose to have been Sallie,
Jones. Sallie herself took kindly
young David, bnt Sallie’s parents
didn’t. They favored a more prom
ising suitor, who hae since fulfilled
that promise and risen to the dig
nity of township constable. Ac
cordingly the ‘cruel parents” han
dicap was placed on Dave and Sal-
lie m short oi;der. They were nev
er permitted to bo alone together,
and what little courting Dave did
was done under the eagle eyes of
the girl’s mother, a rheumatic old
lady, whose cratch was the house-
hould sceptre. Dave was a schem
er, howevei^even iu those days; so
one night when the hated rival was
out af the way and paterfamilias
was attending his . lodge meeting
over the village grocery store,
Dave turned a cow into the front
yard of his beloved’s domicil and
then dropped in for! a call. He
chatted nervously with Sallie and
her mother about prayer meeting
and the ...weather, until presently
the cow was heard from
‘Land ’o mercy!’ ejaculated the
old lady, ‘I do believe that critter’s
iu my flower beds.’
‘Never mind, mother,’ asserted
the heroic Sadie. ‘Gimme your
crutch and Dave aud I’ll drive it
out.’
“Out she flew, crufcsh in hand,
and-Dave after her. In. his excite
ment over the successful ^working
of his plot Dave slammed the door
so bard behind him . that it blew
out the lamp. The old {ady man
aged to bobble over and re-light it,
however, and had time to spare be
fore Dave and Sallie returned from
their cow chase and blissful tete-a-
tete at the front gate.
“ ‘Young man,’ said the old lady,
eyeing Dave sternly as he r-enter-
ed the room, and thinking only of
the lamp,, ‘young man, yon are en
tirely too boisterous, sir; and you
showed it when you went out ’o
this room.’
The deuce I did,’ exclaimed
the startled David, Taken complete
ly unawares, and blushing furious
ly. Sallie blushed with eqaal ve
hemence, and the old lady caught
right on. There was a tableau in-
which the future governor- did a
disappearing act, and he says that
never thereafter could he muster
up courage enough to go back to
the house.. And so Sallie is Mrs.
Constable So-and-so, and the gov
ernor is a confirmed bachelor, all,
he declares, on account of that un
lucky cow-aud-lamp combination.”
