Cockran on Slaveholders. Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate the quar rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who labor with their jaws, Populist . agi tators of the West, and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional farmers, who want to pay low wages, . and the unreconciled slave-holders, -who would like to pay no wages at all. (Extract from the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in New York August 18th.) THE MONOPOLY OF MONEY. . " Reduced to its essence the fight against the free coinage of silver is simply a fight to retain the monop oly of the money of the country by the bond syndicates and money lea ders, who' have for the past thirty years controlled it. The present monetary system gives them almost absolute control of the volume of the currency, which by combination they can expand or contract at their option, thus making money dear or cheap and thus exercising an infla ence for weal or for woe on every business industry in the .country and on every man, woman and child in it. They can start or stop the wheels that run the - machiuery of our ' mills and factories; they can given employment to or throw thousands out of employment; they can send our freight trains loaded bowling along the rails or they can side-track . .them on rusty rails; they can put the price of farm products and of men's ' handicraft up ; or down, and thus bring joy or sorrow, plenty or scarci ty, comfort or sufferiog to the house holds of the land. Any system which makes it possible for any com bination of men large or small to dq this is radicatty wrong and outrage ously oppressive. Money is a medium of exchange. ...It was invented and adopted by na tions as a convenience to facilitate the exchange of commodities be tween individuals and between na tions, and whenever it becomes an object for hoarding, becomes an ob feet of speculation it loses its essen tlat property as money and becomes a mere commodity, which money , was never intended to be. The time is not so very far distant when some . of the organs which are now de - claiming against the free coinage of silver were as outspoken against the system which mane this control of the money of the country possible as they are now rabid in their defence of this - very system. ; One of these is the New York Sun which in the . guise of a Democratic paper is doing all it can for the election of McKin , ley, mainly for the reason that Mc Kin ley is pledged to the perpetua- tioo of the system, and be cause the , platform adopted at Chicago, and Wm. J. Bryan who stands upon It as the candidate for the Presidency, denounce that sys tem and demand a change which will break up this monopoly and give the people some control over their own money. The New Orleans Times Democrat, in showing op the incon sistency and change ot front of some of these organs, quotes the following from an editorial which appeared In the Sun, (which now shines for Hanna and McKinley) several years ago: ; "What the bank it b ties in Us notes is the credit of the people organized and employed for the oenefit of the people, and impregnably fortified on each side bv the organization of labor and com merce. And let it be borne in mind that productive industry is the only real basis of credit. You may set up any number of fictions in re gard to the matter, but this - is always the truth at the bottom. The difference between the bank of the peo pie and the old (the national bank fi nan cial system is that iu the former the credit ol the community is controlled and nsed by the community solely for the furtherance of industry and the in crease of its return to the industrlons, wb.le In the latter the same credit is in geniously monopolized by a few and used as an irresistible machine for lev ing upon Industry the most exorbitant trioute for the benefit of the monopoh zsra. ' This is the fact in a nutshell. Of all monopolies, the monopoly of credit and of the circulating medium is the worn." It wonldn't be easy toframe truer or stronger indictment of the system that fosters money monopo lies than this, and yet the man who wrote it and published it is devoting his labors and the influence of the paper which he controls to strength ening and fastening this monopoly upon the people. "Of all the mo nopolies the monopoly of credit and of the circulating medium is the worst" That is as true as anything that was ever written. If true sev eral years ago, Isn't It true now ? : It is truer now than it was several years ago, or at least more appli cable to the conditions now than it was then, for then there was not that speculation in gold there has since beea and is now, and the green backs and gold of the country were not cornered and hoarded by the money combines as they are now. and the Treasury of the United States, and the industries, business, and people of the United States were not held in the grip of these combines as they are" now. This is why the Chicago platform protested against that system and demanded in language as emphatic as the men who framed it could find that this grinding,crnshing monopoly be taken out of the hands of greedy graspers, and that the 'power to . r V - n V of the people be reinvested ,lj the people whereat was'Bef ore thein fernaXcftafcptfacy of ;1873 deprived them of it. j Restore silver,' remone tize it, open the mints to it as they are open to gold, and the power of this monopoly will be broken, for with free access for silver to the mints they cannot control the vol ume of the currency and corner it as they do bow. It is prevent this, and hold their grip on the volume of the currency that they are making their desperate, corrupt and unscrupulous fight against free silver,' and Hanna and his coadjutors are gathering their millions to defeat the efforts of the people to relieve themselves from this crushing thraldom. MIS OK. MENTION. Mr. McKinley, in his speeches to the delegations of pilgrims who visit him at Canton, talks some about "sound money", (ne is required to do that to please the gold men who are chipping into the Hanna fund) and more about the blessings of -protec tion, without h abundance of Which, according to him and the organs which are supporting him, our man ufacturing industries cannot prosper. He speaks of smokeless chimneys and idle wheels, and exclaims, "Be hold the effect of the Democratic tariff." That" our industries have been depressed .for several years all will admit, but it is not our manufac taring industries only but all of our industries. , But this is a depres sion which has not its - causes in the tariff, but in other, things with which the tariff has no connection. Even with 'all the depression of which Mr. McKinley and his organs complain, the tact remains to con front him and them that under the Wilson tariff our manufacturers have reached out and entered foreign mar kets as they never did under his or any other Republican tariff. The extent to which they ' have done this is epitomized in the following, which we clip from the Cleveland, Ohio, Plaindealer : - "The exports of domestic merchaa dize tor tbe seven months ending with July, show a gain of $88,000,000 over those for the corresponding period of last year. The excess of all exports over imports up to August is $109,000, 000. The increase in the exports cf manufactures is especially encouraging. The Increase over last year is 28 per cent. . Iron and steel manufactures show a gain of $7,000,000 over last year. Tbe gain in the exports of copper and its manufacture is $7,500,000, and the gain in cotton cloths is $3,500,000. Tne exports of cycles were so small last year that they were not recorded: but tbe total for the. first seven months of lDfl IS $3,008,000. "In tbe face of such statistics as these it will be difficult for Republican ora tors to show that more protection Is needed; - Manufacturers are i thriving under the Gorman-Wilson bill just as much as . is possible with the present gold standard. A few of the gold enthusiasts In this country who employ -workmen have undertaken to glveobject lessons" by paying their workmen n Mexican silver dollars, paying i two Mexican dollars for one of our dollars. That was a very stupid business, and they didn't stick to it ong, because it didn't convince any body that their was any connection between the Mexican silver dollar and the American, silver dollar, any more than there is between the paper money of one of the South American States and our green backs; and they found it some what expensive, because these Mex ican silver dollars cost them about nine cents on the dollar for every Mexican dollar bought. The Mex ican dollar has more silver in it than the American dollar, but it passes' in this country, ? If passed at all, for only a little over half as much. It passes simply at its bul lion value, just as if it had no stamp on it. Why ? Because the Govern ment of this country does not recog nize the stamp, and that money is not good to pay debts to the Gov ernment or to any 'individual; in other words, it is not regarded as money, but simply as metal. The same is true of the silver money of any other country, which is taken in this country only at its bullion value, and is treated exactly as our bullion is. Why is there a difference in the value of the bullion and ' the silver coin of this country? Simply this, that the stamp of the Govern ment and the legal tender1 quality given it by law converts the bullion into money, and also enhances the value of the bullion by making it readily convertible into money which will buy what we need as well as any other money and pay the debts that any other money will pay. It Is the stamp of the Government which gives value to it by making it a lawful and recognized medium of exchange between the people and between them and the Government. i he prostration of tho wires pre vented the receipt of telegraphic re ports of the Tammany's greeting, or rather New York Democracy's greet ,lng, to Wm. J. Bryan Tuesday night, but it was one of the grandest de monstrations by the people ever seen in that great metropolis. , Although the night was exceedingly disagree able, with cool, strong winds and rain, the streets leading to Tammany Hall were packed for blocks, by people anxious to see and hear this marvellous man, and in addition to that Union Square, near "by, where he was also to have spoken after his speech in Tammany Hall, was crowded with a jam of people who didn't seem to mind the weather. His speech in the Hall, after touching upon the financial question" was a powerful and withering arraign Lmentth - TastS; accompanied by .... lt . . J. . -J a pledge that if he is elected Presi dent he will do all in bis power to break the power of the (Trusts and drive tbe last one of them from this country, a pledge which was re sponded to by cheer after cheer by a house packed from floor to gallery. He did not speak In the Square and the people who realized the severe tax on his strength didn't expect it, and readily excused him with cheer after cheer, which could be heard blocks away, for "Bryan, the next President of the United States." It was a great outpouring of the De mocracy of that great city. CURRENT COMMENT. Mr. Bynum knows of several Mates where i'almer will receive more votes than Bryan.'

Charles Monselet, a Frenchman of let ters, published not long ago a oomio "soi- entlfio dictionary" for the benefit of chil dren, who found no little amusement in bis odd accounts of things in tbe animal world -which were perfectly familiar to them, but wbioh were described in a rath er fantastic way in M. Mouselet's book. Tbe editor of a certain scientific journal. however, was muoh surprised and shocked at M. Monselet's ignorance when he took up the book, and he wrote an article about it in his paper, which ran as follows: "A certain M. Monselet has published a dictionary for tbe use of ohildren which contains definitions showing tbe most ex traordinary ignorance, suob as tbe follow ing: ' " 'Sardine A little nsn without any bead which lives in oil.' "As if a fish could live without any head and in oil. "Another definition: . " 'Parrot A bird somewhat resembling tbe pigeon, generally green when it is not red or yellow or blue. Cockatoos some times live np to 100 years old exoept when they are stuffed, and then there is no limit to the length of their life.' ' "Now it happens that tbe parrot is not a pigeon at all and never has the colors that M. Monselet gives to him, and, in short, this M. Monselet knows no more of natural history than he baa grains of com mon sense." The editor knew a great deal of science, but be did not know, as the children did, how to take a joke.

Dinriuou oun, Aroostook county, on a farm as level and smooth as any western prairie, resides Joseph T. Leavltt, a gentleman upward ot 60 yean ol age, weu ana iavoraDjj Known In that section and also in western Penob scot and East Somerset, where he formerly resided. He U not a honfcer by trade or profession, his two prlnolpal occupations through life having been, farming and blacksmitbingV Still he ta a skill at hunting, trapping and fishing that lew equal, says the Lewlston (Ma.) Journal. Possessed of the coolness and sagacity of veritable Leather Stocking, a remark able knowledge ot tbe habits or game an imals, birds and fishes and being withal a good shot with the rine ana xowung piece, bis success as a hunter, trapper and fisher man is almost phenomenal. Several years ago Mr. lavltt left bis house With his repeating rifle in pursuit of deer. A light snow had recently fallen, and be soon strnok tbe fresh trail of deer that be knew must be near him. Being on the windward side ot tbe deer and fearing that they would scent Mm and flee, be made a wide circuit around tbe place where he judged them to be, moving with all the stealth, deliberation ana cannon inai was in olden times said to characterize the movements of an expert scout trailing an Indian warrior, or vice versa. - On reaching tbe leeward side be moved forward a few paces as noiselessly as Cooper's Indian Chingachgook and caught sight ot a deer Just as the animal was in the act of lying down.' In lying down tbe deer became bidden from view by an in tervening log. Tbe hunter's resolution .was immediately taken. He cocked bis rifle and threw it forward for instant use; then ie calmly reached out one hand and .snapped a small twig. The noise was slight, but sufficient. The deer sprang to Its feet and was shot on the instant. Tbe report of the rifle brought another deer to its feet,, and tbe second deer was as promptly dlspatobed. Near the seoond deer a third deer was now seen running, but was speedily overtaken by the third bullet from Mr. Xjeavitrs repeater. Look ing about to see if there were any more worlds to conquer and finding none 'at 'hand and then suddenly remembering that the law as it then was only authorized him to kill three deer, Mr. Leavltt, like a law abiding citizen, dressed the three and went home. .

Chances In the Olympie Games. For many years the contests consisted only of foot races until, in 708 B. C. wrestling and the pentathlon were intro duced. During the seventh century the 'memories" of the authorities at Olympia seem to have been quickened, for we then find Introduced boxing (688 B. C), the four horse chariot race (680 B. C. the horse raoes and the pancratium (648 B, C. ); also the following contests for boys: Foot -races and wrestling (682 B. C), tbe pen tathlon (628 B. C), and boxing (016 B C). These heavy contests mark this cen tury as one which set special value upon muscular force and endurance. In the sixth century were introduced tbe hoplitodromos, or warriors race (520 B. C), and tbe soon abandoned chariot raoe with mules (500 B. C); in the fifth, the raoes for mares (496 B. C), and tor two horse chariots (408 B. C); in the fourth, the contest for heralds and trumpeters (896 B. G), and chariot races with four oolta (384 B. C); later tbe chariot raoe for two colts (368 B. C. ), the race with mounted colts (256 B. C), and the pancratium for boys (200 B, C). Musical contests were introduced by Nero A. - D. - 68.

What the Guard Walked Baek Tor. "Not infrequently," said a citizen, 'you see the guard on the rear oar of a train on tbe elevated road walk back through the car and look out behind. never understood exactly why be does this. but I suppose that at night be looks out to see that the end lights are burning all light and in the daytime he looks out to see that everything is all right. "In a car that I went up town in the other day the guard came walking back in the usual manner, but this time he didn't go clear to tbe end of the oar and look out.-' He sat down for a moment be tween me and a little girl who sat in the next to the end seat, tbe end seat being occupied by a little boy. The two ohildren had been looking out of the windows, the small boy on bis knees in his seat and tbe little girl on her feet, but when the guard sat down the little girl turned at once from her window and put her arms around bis neck and the small boy turned from , bis window and smiled. .
