4t yv o if .!''." The Watansa Democrat JbuixdajiApril, 25 ISU5 The silver qnestipn in the west is lobiiiing up and ; the people are aroused; oyer the Jssoe noW forminln Illinois , and ot her western 8t a tea. The issue for 1896 will be free sil ver on one side urn! a single standard on the other. The democrats ore divided and so are the republicans. Fromn southern and wrstern stand point, it looks like silver would win in the fight, but th(v President and many of the ablest democrats nre op posed to free silver, except it is. brought on by internal ion al agreement, and a vigor ous fight will be made for, and against free coinage. We think there is an extreme on; the part of the silver advo cates. While we believe in the coinage Df both gold ami sil ver at a ratio to make both metals equal in value, yet we do not see any advantage in coining the siver bullion now in the Treasury unless, it cowl ie floated out in thecom mercial world on a par with gold. Every ounce of bull ion in the Treasury is repre sented by silver certificates the $55,000,000 ol senior age, which is now being coin ed as fast as pos&ible, and, as it is not represented by anything, it is projierthnt it should be coined. We nre for both metals being coined at a proper ratio! This is the old democratic idea, and had it not been for the republi can Congress of 1873, when silver was degraded, and ev er since bought and sold as a commodity, we would not be in the condition that we nre now, financially. Silver must be restored as a inoney met al on a par with gold, as it was prior to 1873. The great question is, can the United Stats have free and unlimit ed coinage ribne without the other nations agreeing? Can silver be maintained on a parity with gold by ourcoun try alone? 'These are the great question? for onr conn try to consider. If we gi t free coinage, and silver is repudi ated by the com mercial woi Id we will be hurt financially. J The 'Progressive Farmer' . in its last weeks issue brought us to taw, because we had re jected a religious controver sy sent to the Dem-icrat but had usednearlv a column in publishing an obituary on a gander. To this charge we plead guiUy. We had al ready published two install ments pro and con on the Sabbath controversies, after ward every mail brought us more literature on the same question. ' We were satisfied about the Sabbath ourselves and judge that every body else is, on one side or 'the other. We do not think that a controversy on this subject can do much good. We are opposed to things of this kind. Let every body believe as they feel like it, on Biblical questions, We are willingfor them to have their own opinion. But the gan der obituary is what the Pro gressive Farmer Siems to object to. We will kindly remind our esteemed friend that if the 'Progressive Far mer' would now and then use a little gander literature in stead of the many State pieces from "Mj. Bilkins" which ; is published every week, many of its readers ID I How-1 would feel relieved ever we appreciate the large veeklv of Brother Ramsey and read it cheerfully but when we undertake " Hilkins we soon feel tired, but "every man to, his own liken as the good man said, when he kiss: ed biaVnwv? , Oiye'Bilkint" and "Betsey" a rest and fill up with the gander obituary Ljiext wrek. Let us pave a variety. ' ' '' . ' . A Better ObsemiMW of thej'.Lori'i uy ueaaea. The Demwrat is right in not allowing religiousor the ological controversies to run through its columns. The trouble about such contro versies is tlieieis no stopping place, and they sometimes become bitter and personal. But in the few suggestions I wish tom.tke in this romm'un ieation'. there will be nothing of a controversial, nature. 1 t link it is almost universal ly admitted by christians and nominal christians that a Sabbath or Lord's 'day is needed. It is needed both spiritually and physically. Man and breast need one day out of seven to rest. AVe need one day out of seven to worship and. serve God, and and to gain spiritual improve meat. The Lord's day is much abused. It is not a day for visiting and pleasure seek mg. It is not a uay lor talk ing over business matters and laying plans for the fu ture. It is not a day for letter- writing nnd yet many jeo pie use the day for that pur pose. It is not a day for driving, and yet' many spend ho'irs of the afternoon for that purpose. Some good people, wli.) ought to lay a better example, load their wagons Saturday morning and start to market to get to .jnve air day Sunday. Some use tin day to collect dccoutits and settle debts, while others use the day to negotiate' trades. M a n y boys use the day for congre gating together to 'jump, wrestle, pitch quoits and run foot-races. and often get into trouble. The Lord's day ought to be used in reading the Bible, religious papers and good books. It we ure well and the weather is favor able, we ought to go to Sun day school and chiji-eh. It is strangely unaccountable that so many people mani fest such indifference toward thechurch and Sunday school It speaks well for any com munity, if it can be truthful ly said of, the people, they area Sabbath observingand church going people. We A A I I .1 miiy visk me sick on ine Lord's day, but it is wrong to do so, if we will not take time to visit them in the week. Many defer visiting the sick till Sunday, and then so many go that the patient is often made worse rather than better. Some sick peo pledreal for Sunday tocome. To ignore and violate the Lord's day with impunity will bring trouble sooner or later. There is much truth in the adage. r'A Sabbath well spent brings a week of content.' No wonder things often go'wroog all week after a neglected and wasted Sab bath. It is intended to le maind us of the rest that re mains for the people of God. Let us make a wise and prof I itable use of the day, and we will be a wiser, better and happier people. , I. YY Thomas. Hibriten, April 18, ?95.
