REPUBLICAN VERSUS DEMO
CRATIC POLICY. '
It is plainly evident that it is the pol
icy of the present Republican adminis
tration to retire the greenbacks and
treasury notes thereby perfecting a finan
cial system which will authorize national
banks to issue all paper money. This
will be the primary step towards per
fecting their purpose of centralizing all
monetary power in the Federal govern
ment. Their next movement will he to
more fully outlaw and completely retire
silver, when of course national lsuik
notes will not lie receivable sis legsil ten
der. 1 Tims, they will have succeeded in
establishing the single gold standard,
making gold the only money by which
debts can lie paid, and then the Repub
lican scheme of centralization will have
been made complete.
It may be interesting to note this last
movement of the Republican party, as a
climax to their financial policy inaugu
rated and pnt in operation as early as
1863.
When Mr. Lincoln in 1803 became
alarmed at the rapid depletion of the
Federal arms through daily desertions
from the ranks and the Federal recruit
ing camps being no longer supplied
through the sentimentality of Northern
fanatics, and thereby the triumph of
Southern armies became his greatest ap
prehension, lit- called liis cabinet to
gether to discuss the situation and de-
rise some means by which to relieve and
counteract the threatening danger to
Federal arms. After quite a protracted
meeting and discussion by the cabinet.
Mr. Lincoln proclaimed that the only
way to successfully maintain the Union
cause and prevent the triumph of Con
federate arms was to go back to the the
ory of Alexander Hamilton, as promul
gated in the convention of 1789, and
centralize both the sword and the purse
in the Federal head. Accordingly Mr.
Lincoln addressed a message to Congress
advocating the passage of the conscript
act, and the bill establishing national
banks.
Under this primary step towards
centralization, through the establish
ment of a national bank system, our
financial "affaii» Were conducted until
T87S. The Republican or Centralization
party finding at that time that centrali
zation of the monetary power could
never be made absolute and complete
with bimetalism, making lsitli gold and
lilver money of final payment, aided
mid aliettt-d by the national banks, and
the bond-holders both of Europe and
America, went to work clandestinely to
further strengthen their centralization
scheme, and in 1873 secured the demon
itizatiuu of silver, the more plentiful
money, the money of the people. Certain
ly there could have been no other object
or purpose in thus outlawing silver which
had been the constitutional money of
our people since the foundation of our
government. There Vicing no metal
money in circulation in this country
from 18(53 to 1873 there could not have
been nor was there any commercial de
mand for it either in this country or any
of the foreign countries with which
American trade was being carried on.
The demand was only from the national
banks and lsiud-holders, made to the
Republican party, their creator, and
was only done in their interest,
that the financial power of the
government might, through them, lie
centralized in the Federal head in full
accord with Republican policy and that
their change or wreck of onr former fi
nancial poljey might be rewarded with
a premium upon their holdings.
This is the history and the true
cause of the demonetization of
silver, and which fact was not
known to the people of America
until 1878, when a movement was made
in congress for the resumption of specie
payment. Then the money question be
came a living issue with an outraged
people, who had been robbed, as if by
thieves in the night time. It has been a
live issue ever since, and will continue
to be until an oppressed and outraged
people shall, by their voices aud votes,
restore silver to its fnll constitutional
rights, along with gold, national banks,
Isiudliolders, goldolators, Republican
party and English policies to .the contra
ry notwithstanding.
If a United States bank in 1789 and
national banks in 1863 centralized the
monetary power of onr country in the
Federal head, does it not continue to do
so now? Centainlv there can be no
question as to this fact, and if the con
tinued policy of the Republican admin
istration as outlined in the beginning of
this article be aimed ont, then willceu-
tralizBtion be made complete, aud we
shall go on from hod to worse, wholly
at the mercy of the money changers, in
the temples of the plutocrats.
At last the question now confronting
the American people, in its true analy
sis, is whether wc shall, through united
aud aroused Democratic action, continue
ours a free, Democratic aud constitu
tional form of government, or whether
we shall surrender to the establishment
in its stead of a strong, coutrabused.
money power? Whether or not- we
shall surrender the Democracy of onr
forefathers for the plutocracy of the
shyloclu? This is the question; the
living, burning issue, no more, no less.
WHEAT AND PROSPERITY.
The rise in the price of wheat has
caused the goldhugs and Republicans to
become very clamorous about the pros
perity wave which they claim is soon to
sweep the country over. The Republi
can tariff bill and the policies of the
present administration had about as
much to do with this spirt in the price
of wheat as the declaration of independ
ence had to do with the discovery of the
Klondike gold mines. This increased
price for American wheat has been due
solely to the increased demand brought
about by the failure of the wheat crop
in foreign countries, and it would be
jnst as reasonable to claim that it lias
fixed the price of wheat in tliis country
for all time to come as to claim it as an
evidence of any present or approaehiyg
prosperity.
The wheat growers of this country
ire simply reaping a benefit from tiie
misfortune of the wheat growers of
other countries, and it is an unmistaka
ble evidence of that incontrovertible
doctrine that supply aud demand regu
lates aud controls the price of products
as effectually as it does the price of the
money with which they are bought and
for which they are sold.

the music of
.a piano, an

question as to its

But there is one
kind of music that
is missing from tens
of thousands of
homes and without
which no .home can be thoroughly happy.
It is the music of childish laughter.
A baby’s prattle is the best mhsic for the
home. A baby is the only tie that can
finally bind together in absolute happiness,
usefulness and confidence a man ana a wo
man. It is a cold and cheerless home that
never knows the music of a.baby’s laugh

this land that were once cheerless and
childless, but are to-day happy and lighted
with babyhood’s smile, that bless Doctor

motherhood. It rids maternity of its perils.
It banishes .the qualms of the expectant
period and makes baby’s advent easy and
almost painless. It insures the child’s

Miss Edith Cain, of Clinton, Allegheny Co.,

„ tars of suffering I began taking Dr. Pierce’s
medicine and now I am entirely eured. I had
been troubled with female weakness for some
time and also with a troublesome drain on the
