in undertaking- to write a series
of articles on this important subject
which like "Banchos Ghost" will
not down, there is no probability
.that anv new argument will be ad
vanced, that any new data will be
given, or that anything1 will be writ
ten which has not, in some form or
other, been said or written br the
many speakers and writers who
have flooded the country with pam
phlets and speeches on this ques
tion which for several vears has
agitated the minds of the people
and caused a feeling- of unrest and
dissatisfaction to pervade the pub
lic mind to a greater extent than
has ever before been known in the
history ofourgreatCommonwealth.
It may be well to state in the begin
ning" that these articles are not
written with a view to elicit replies
from those who may entertain dif
ferent opinions from those herein ex
pressed, nor to draw any one into a
newspaper controversy which at the
best is not condusive to any great
benefit to the general reader; but
the one motive in view is to place be
fore the reading public a plain,
simple. concise statmentof the facts
with the hope that they may be
beneficial in enabling very many
who may now be in doubt, to form
correct conclusions on this impor
tant subject. The writer wishes
further to add that any one who
may be bubbling over with in
formation and argument on this
subject, taking an opposite view.
and is afraid he may effervesceand
waste his sweetness on the desert
air, will be accomodated at any time
and at any place suitable for a for
ensic display of ability.
No attempt will be made to ques
tion the honesty of those who enter
tain opposite views, no argu
ment will be introduced to show
that the "free silver" advocate,
generally, is not true to his convic
tions. In fact most men are per
fectly honest in their views as ex
pressed on different subjects, and
this being true, every man has a
right to his opinion, and within cer
tain limits, freedom of speech is ac
corded to every citizen of the coun
try; but there is a class of individ
uals known as the
CHEAP JOHN POLITICIAN.
upon whom it is necessary to be
stow a passing word. Like bad
j -
weeds they flourish everywhere, but
the western prairies of Kansas and
Nebraska appear to be peculiarly
adapted to their growth and devel
opment, so like the Russian Thistle
they roll onward, ever onward, and
as that weed scatters its pestilent
seeds over the farmers broad acres
so with their blatant mouths they
scatter their obnoxious theories
broad-cast over the countrv, little
caring- what damage they do, so
long as the result brings them
notoriety, and makes it possible for
them to be elected to any pettv
office in the gift of the people. Too
much can not be said in deprecation
of these fawning sycophants who
hasten to foist their false doctrines
upon the minds of a too credulous
people. When the country is in a
prosperous condition, when labor
is every where employed, whenthe
pleasant hum of the spindle, the
deafening-roar of the furnace, and
the ringing music of the anvil is
everywhere heard, telling to the ob
serving man plainer than words
can tell, that the people are pros
perous and happy, then comes the
winter of their discontent to these
craping agitators wha being; pes
simistic in their opinions languish
and droop and die, when peace and
plenty bring- contentment and
happiness to the people,
During the continuance of these
pleasant and prosperous conditions
the energeticandaggressive Ameri
can Citizen, desiring to progure a
competence, or increase his wealth,
gives little attention to theorists
and their visionary and falacious
schemes; but when the scene is
changed, when the nation is no
longer prosperous, when labor is
idle, when a scarcitv of monpv
causes the most extravagant to
practice ecomony, and when the or
dinary business man, not havin"-
tne t-i,ne to bestow on these
econ-
omic questions, is ntterlr unable
to divine the causes which have

which springs up in a night are
found everywhere descanting upon
the evils from which the nation suf
fers and each having a remedy which
if applied will be the panacea for
all the nation's woes; but like the
toad-stool which is poisonous in the
extreme, so when the exterior of
their scheme is removed, the man
of good judgment is readily con
vinced that the doctrine is false, the
remedy inadequate to effect a cure
and the whole theory but the prom
ptings of a chimerical mind. When
traveling in Kansas a few weeks
ago the writer was fortunate or un
fortunate enough to see and hear
one of these "cheap John" Solo
mons who for hours poured forth a
tirade of abuse against national
government, Kansas governor, and
all Legislatures in general, while
the banks in particular came in
for a large share of foul epithets
which would have done credit to the
most unprincipled fish monger of
Billingsgate; yet judging from the
emaciated appearance of his team,
the delapidated condition of his
wagon, the ancient looks of his har
ness,and the general contour of the
man, he never had a cent in the
bank in his life and consequently
could not possibly be injured by the
so called -gold bugs."
