THE MONEY MONOPOLISTS.
The money monopolists of this
country are bitterly opposed, to the
free coinage of silver under the pre
tence that it will drive gold out of
circulation, into the money vaults,
from which it will come or4y as it
may be necessary to ship it to Hurope
to pay for the goods imported into
this country.
As a rule the high tariff protec
tionists are anti-silver coinage men
One ot the main objects, they say,
in levying a high tariff is to encour
age home manufacturers by dis
couraging the importation of foreign
made goods. If this be so they
should be consistent and favor free
silver coinage for the express pur
pose of driving gold into the dark
vaults where as little of it as
possible could be reached to
pav for foreign imports
This would be a grand strike' and
would put the finishing touch on the
foreign competition of which they
complain, and give them an amount
of protection that even their highest
tariff does not give.
But even if this were true, and if
the prohibition of foreign imports
were not desirable as the high tariff-
its seem to think it is, why shouldn't
this country have a monetary system
of its own as well as a high protec
rive tariff system ? Is there any con
sistency m passing tariff laws to re
strict trade with foreign govern
ments and then jumping on the sil
ver dollar and trying to bury it be
cause it will drive gold into the
vaults or out of the country and
thus from force of circumstances do
the very thing they are trying to do
with their high tariff ? Even from
their own statements there isn't a
mother's son of them who is sincere
and honest who shouldn't take off
his hat to the silver dollar and hail
it as the long lost friend for whom
they have been searching, lo ! these
many years. As an ally in the fight
against the "pauper labor of Eu
rope they should recognize the full
value of the silver dollar and shout
as loudly for it as the most ardent
free coinage champion.
If a prohibitory tariff system is
good, why not a prohibitory money
system? If we can get along with
out foreign imports, as the high
tariffites say we can, and should get
along without them, as the high
tariffites say we should, where is the
good policy of keeping: a stock of
gold on hand to pay these Europeans
tor the goods which we do not need
and should not have? What thev
buy from us they buy not because
they want to. but because thev can't
help it. Those of them which do
not raise enough to eat must buv it.
and they must buy cotton to make
clothing. They buv these from us
because we have more of them to
than other Deople. Possibly
they might reduce their rations and
not buy quite so much it tney nau
to pay the hard cash for it, but
this, from the protectionists' stand-
ooint. shouldn't make any airrerence,
for when foreign importations were
cut off there would be no need of
exportations, for under the stimulus
given to home manutactures mc
"home market" would consume
everything our farms raised and we
would all so booming along togetner
on the bfoad highway to prosperity.
But whv should the American
owners of gold lock it up if free
coinage became a law? It gold oe
the unit of value and the standard
"money of the world, as they say it
is how could the silver dollars ot tne
United States hurt it if they were
five times as numerous as they
are? The only true reason
they could have for locking
gold coins up, would be to decrease
the currency to that extent and pre
vent the expansion which they seem
to dread so much. It would take a
good while with the limited minting
facilities we have to coin enough sil
ver dollars to take the place of the
gold which the gold monopolists
would thus hide in their vaults and
strong boxes. That's what's the
matter with them. It isn't the dread
that free coinage of silver will de
preciate the currency and at the same
time drive gold out of sight, but that
it will so expand the currency as to
deprive them of the monopoly of the
money market which they hold, and
of the power of contracting or .ex
panding the volume of currency at
will and as their interests dictate.
That acconnts for the milk in the
cocoanut. 9
MINOS MENTION.
Among the items in the General
Deficiency bill which passed the
House of Representatives Tuesday
was the sum of $28,67S,3s2 to cover
shortage in the pension appropria
tions for the past year. This of itself
would make a pretty fair pension bill
and would have been considered a
very liberal amount before the era
of political trickery and extrava
gance set in, and Republican states
men entered boldly on the work of
looting the treasury to curry favor
with the soldiers. When Mr. Garfield
was in the Senate and it was esti
mated that the pension bill then un
der consideration would require 38,
000,000, he in an apologetic way, and
to quiet the apprehensions that were
felt at the growing proportions of
the pension appropriations, expressed
the conviction that this was as large
a sum as would be called for. Now
the deficiency after expending nearly
$100,000,000 is not $10,000,000 less
than the estimated maximum. For
the current year there will be needed
8135,000,000, and next year proba
bly $150,000,000. How much more
than that year after year, at the rate
at which the pension bill is growing
no one knows. It is a very big ele
phant. In commenting in the Senate Tues
day on the amendment to the Diplo
matic and Consular Appropriation
bill, which practically grants a sub
sidy of $3,500,000 to the company
which proposes to lay a cable be
tween San Francisco and the King
dom of Hawaii, Senator Carlisle said
the amendment was out of place in
that bill. Of course it was. It was
as much out place there as would be
Silver bill as a rider to the Pension
bill, as was proposed by some of the
tree coinage advocates, or the Force
bill to some of the regular appropria
tions as proposed by statesman
Dingley. It was simply a subsidy
scheme tacked on to this bill, and
totally foreign to it, to carry it
through rather than let it stand on
its own merits. We are somewhat
surprised by the support given it by
Senator Morgan and by the vote of
Senators Gorman and Hampton for
it. If there was to have been a
subsidy at all the cost of the work
should have been ascertained and
then let the friends of the subsidy
scheme come squarely out and vote
the necessary amount without steal
ing in probably twice as much as
will be necessary to do the work
under cover of a regular appropria
tion bill with which it has no con
nection whatever.
if.
The State of Alabama has a mine
of great wealth in her coal. Geolog
ical surveys show that coal underlies
nineteen counties embracing an area
of 8,600 square miles. In ten of
these nineteen counties only is there
any coal mining done. In 1853 the
first mining was done, and since
then the annual output has been
gradually increased up to 1880, since
when the increase has been enor
mous, growing from 323,972 tons m
that year to 3,328,484 tons in 1889.
This covers only the coal intended
for shipment, and not that used for
coking purposes. Of the above
amount 1,868,596 tons were con
sumed'within the State. It is worth
at the mines an average of $1.10 a
ton.
Since Mr. Cleveland has. so lately
declared himself opposed to the free
coinage of silver some curiosity has
been felt to know how Gov. Hill
stands on , that question. He has
views on the question as well as Mr.
Cleveland, and they will not-txa any
more acceptable to the free coinage
advocates than Mr. Cleveland's are.
Mr. Cleveland is squarely opposed
to "free, unlimited and independent
coinage," while Gov. Hill is in favor
of "free coinage under a proper in
ternational ratio," something which
it would be very difficult and next to
impossible to secure. It is quite
safe to say that Gov. Hill don't take
much stock in the silver legislation
which Mr. Cleveland opposes, and
that as silver men, it is six one way
and half a dozen the other.
STATE TOPICS.
A company has been organized
consisting of prominent citizens, of
Moore county and several gentlemen
from Philadelphia, with large
capital, to develop and work the
brown stone qnarries in Moore
county. This brown stone exists in
inexhaustable quantities and crops
out on the surface, necessitating the
stripping of very little earth to quar
rey it, and in quality is equal to the
finest. When taken from the earth it
is soft and easily sawed or chiselled,
hardening afterwards on exposnre to
the air, becoming extremely hard,
and as a durable building stone un
surpassed. The parties who propose
working the quarries, say, as quoted
by the Raleigh News and Observer,
that it can be quarried and shipped
to Northern cities at 35 cents a cubic
foot, which is as cheap as the Con
necticut brown stone, which'is not
so fine, can be delivered.. They pro
pose to run a railroad into their
quarries, to facilitate shipment, and
work them on a large scale.
CURRENT COMMENT.
"Free Trade is an abomi-
nahle humbug." savs the Republi
cans. Then they dress up free trade

procity and remark, "How beauti

As Mr. Watterson says he did
write the impertinent letter to Gov.
Hill we must suppose that he did. It
is comforting to know that he after
wards thought enough better of the
matter to forget to marl the missive,
as he seems to have done. -tV. Y.
World, Dem.
Perhaps if Warner Miller
would o among the farmers and
show them that the Nicaragua canal
would be a great outlet tor tneir
cabbages, he might arouse a feeling
that would secure Jto him the $100,

wants for his enterprise. Louisville
Courier- Journal, Dem.
"The list," says Editor Wil
liam Penn Nixon, concerning the
job lot of Senatorial candidates prof
fered by Republicans to the farmer
representatives yesterday, "was rep
resentative and varied." True
enough. Too much emphasis can
not be laid upon this varied charac
ter of this list. It ranges from Judge
Gresham to a proof-reader in the
government printing otnee. it in
cludes several agricultural editors,
one or two money-lenders, and a
parson in politics. Indeed, it ap
pears that, so far as the patriotism
and common sense of the Republi
cans are concerned, a yellow dog
might represent Illinois- in the Sen
ate next year if the farmers would
unite in the effort to defeat Gen.
Palmer. Chicago Mail, Dem.
A Pare Baking Powder.
A baking powder that can be de
pended upon to be free from lime and
alum is a desideratum in these days of
adulterated food. So far as can be
judged from the official reports, the
"Royal" seems to be the only one yet
found by chemical analysis to be entire
ly without one or the other of these sub
stances, and absolutely pure. This, it is
shown, results from the exclusive use by
its manufacturers of cream of tartar
specially refined and prepared by patent
processes which totally remove the
tartrate of lime and other impurities.
The cost of this chemically pure cream
of tartar is much greater than any other,
and it is used in no baking powder ex
cept the "Royal," the manufacturers of
which control the patents under which
it is refined.
Dr. Edward G. Love, formally analyti
cal chemist for the U. S, Government,
who made the analyses lor tne rsew
York State .Board of Health in their
investigation of baking powders, aiid
whose intimate knowledge of the in
gredients of all those sold in this mar
ket enables him to speak authorita
tively, saysof the purity, wholesome
ness, and superior quality of the
"Royal:"
"I find the Royal Baking Powder
composed of pure and wholesome in
gredients. It is a cream of tartar pow
der, and does not contain either alum
or phosphates, or other injurious sub
stance." Prof. Love's tests, and" the recent
official tests by both the United States
and Canadian Governments, show the
Royal Baking Powder to be superior
to all others in strength and leavening
'power. It is not only the most econ
omical in use, but makes the purest,
finest-flavored and most wholesome
food. t
STEVE DOUGLAS' SHIRT. "
The Influence it Had Upon the Blaine-
Cleveland Campaign.
Chicago Post.
During the Blaine-Cleveland cam
pain Stephen A. Douglas, "the heavy
tax-payer," and John Devoy, the
welUknown Irish-American, were
stumping New York State for Blaine.
At Rochester they had a large and
appreciative audience, largely com
posed of ladies, awaiting them when
they arrived at the hall. It was the
middle of summer, and Mr. Douglas
was simply but tastefully attired in a
white flannel shirt, the broad expanse
of which no waistcoat obscured, a
seersucker coat and light-weight and
light colored trousers. . He surveyed
the crowded house with mingled
emotions of pride and pleasure.
Then suddenly a thought struck him
and he .turned to Mr. Devoy and
"See here, John, I think I'm not
swell enough for this crowd. The
ladies might think I'm not respectful
to 'em. Flannel shirts are hardly the
proper caper for evening wear."
"Oh," returned Devoy, "you're all
right, Steve. You're swell enough
for anybodv."
"No," persisted Douglas, obsti
natplv. "4t's not riffht. Tohn. I be
lieve I'll run across the street to the
hotel and put on a boiled shirt and
a vest. It won't take five minutes.
Nothing could change his resolu
tirn anri though it was now 7:45
anrlW sneakin? had been ad ver
tised to begin at 7:30, Douglas left
the hall. Devoy telt lonesome on
the Dlatform and so in a minute or
two he followed his friend to the
hotel. When he arrived he found
Mr. Douglas had contrived to get
his coat off and was struggling ener-
n-ptira v with the flannel snirt. At
o ' J
nreciselv 8:25 he conquered it
Durinr? this time Devoy had been al
ternately DUtting a stud into the
boiled shirt and giving a tug to the
flannel one, so when the flannel
shirt was off the boiled one was
readv for action. At 8.35 Douglas
was in it and at 8.40 he was clothed
in a waistcoat and cutaway. At 8.45
he and Devov again made their ap
pearance on the platform, The
audience was still there, but it was
nlainlv crrowin? imDatient. How
ever, it calmed down, and then Mr
Douglas made a powerful speech,
lastinrr iust an hour and three-
auarters. Then Devoy arose and
steepped forward, but the people
were verv sleeov. and before he had
talked ten minutes most of tne seats
were emotv.
'It wasn't 'Rum. Romanism and
Rebellion.' " savs Mr. Devov, "that
defeated Blain. It was Steve Doug
las' shirt. That shirt prevented the
people of Rochester from conver
sion to Republicanism, for it kept
them from listening to my convinc
ing arguments.
THE RESULT AT GETTYSBURG-
What Might Have Changed it to a Con-
federate Victory.
Cen Ahner Doubledav writes in
- - j
the North American Review : Toward
the close of the contest on the first
day's battle at Gettysburg Hancock
rode ud and told me that he had
been sent to assume command of the
field. He was our good genius, for
. r
heat once brought oraer out oi con
fusion, and made such admirable dis
positions that he secured the ridge
and held it. As ne was junior in
rank to Gen. Howard, he had no
right, technically speaking, to super
sede the latter. Meade had as
signed him to that duty, it is
tnip hut under the law only the
President himself could place a junior
-WW 1 11
general over a senior, nowara oio
not rprotrnize him as kiis superior.
and I think Hancock as he rode over
to me was m some doubt as to
whether I. as commander of the First
corps, would acknowledge him as
Howard s superior, tiao i reiuseo
to do so the battle of Gettysburg in
all probability would have had a dif
ferent termination. As Hancock
ranked me. however, the question
did not concern me, personally, and
I saw plainly enough that if I re
fused to acknowledge his delegated
authority, both tne rirst anu
Eleventh corns would be surrounded
and captured. I had no desire to
see the men of mv command sent to
adorn the prisons of the Confedera
cy, and I therefore did not insist on
any technicality which would De cer

POLITICAL POINTS.
Anv Democrat who is in favor
of free silver coinage can be elected to
Presidency in lbya, provided ne is aiso
a tariff reformer. No Democrat can be
elected in 1892 who is against free silver
coinage. Mobile Register, Dem.
Mr. Grover Cleveland must be
careful not to allow the free coinage
mixtion to hnrv the tariff reform issue.
That would be bad politics and just what
t j i
the shrewd KepuDiican leaaers are piay
mg for. They are afraid of the present
tariff because there is a Democratic Pre
sident under it. Therefore keep it well
to the fore. AT. Y. Herald, Ind.
No narticular imDortance need
be attached to the Star-Eyed Goddess's
son, the Hon. Henry Watterson's casual
resurrection of the Stuffed Prophet at
the time when silver coinage is the over
whelming topic. Col. watterson s ao
sorption in tariff smashing is so com
plete that at the National uemocrauc
Convention of 1888 he repulsed the. sil
ver plank with the remark, "Damn sil
ver!" But he is always a Democrat, all
the same, from his scalp clear to his
heels. N. Y, Sun, Dem.

anent silver coinage is likely to result in
