The London Statist, a financial
authority in England, in discussing the
advance in the price of silver, says:
"The silver market has been very
firm this week, although India, China
and Japan are not buying. Consider
able orders have been placed for
France, and the United States is hold
ing back the metal for higher prices.
All this points to the beginning of an
other speculation in silver, aud in fact,
there is an inclination upon the stock
exchange to buy all kinds of silver
securities. The principal reason, no
doubt, is that the belief is now becom
ing general all over Europe, and is
shared to a considerable extent in the
United States itself, that silver will be
fore long become the real standard of
value in the United States. If so, it is
agreed, the Indian mints will be re
opened and there will be a very sharp
rise in the metal."
If the Statist had said the prospects
is that silver will soon be recognizpd
on an equality with gold as a money
metal in this country, it would have
hit the nail squarely on the head. Of
course there would be a sharp rise in
silver bullion a rise which would
carry it up to a parity with gold at
once and that is what silver men
have always contended.
Wm.11. Morrison has given notice
of his opposition to silver. That takes
a good man out of the range of presi
lential possibilities.
The conviction is growing stronger
in the minds of thinking men that the
restoration of silver is absolutely
necessary to the prosperity of the
country.
Every government bond issued
means a new link in a chain about the
neck of every man who works for a liv
ing, and is a tax on the productive in
dustry of both the present and future
generations.
The Nebraska City iews wants the
gold standard people to be recognized
as democrats, and wants to creep into
the democratic organization under the
tent, while the nemocrats are not look
ing. Better pay for a ticket and come
in by the door, Dro. Hubner. The time
for repenteDce has not gone by.
Ik in spite of the determined fight
made on silver by the gold ring and
the Cleveland administration, that
metal has increased in price 6A cents
an ounce since February, 1S03, it Is
quite patent that it might easiiy be re
stored to parity with goJd if the ineta!
were given only such treatment as the
law now contemplates and provides.
Tno3iAs Jeffeusox was opposed to
the issue of any bond running more
than nineteen years, because, he said,
the present generation had no right to
tax the next one to pay its debts. Mr.
Cleveland's sense of justice is not af
fected that way. He would fasten
fifty year bonds on the people if he
could. There are democrats and
democrats, but Cleveland is not one of
them.
The new Spanish general in Cuba,
Marin, seems to find it just as diffi
cult to find or bring on a general en
agement with Gen. Gomez of the in
surgent army as did his predecessor.
When he puts his army down in a par
ticular place Gomez isn't there, but is
at some other point destroying trains
or burning sugar plantations or in
dicting other damage on the enemy.
He fixes up a fortified line which is in
pregnable, only to find that Gomez
crosses it at his pleasure and without
loss.
The senate having passed the bond
bill in the form of a substitute pro
viding for the free coinage of silver
at 1G to 1, last week, the finance com
mittee has now reported the house tar
iff bill, striking out the tariff provis
ions and inserting as an amendment a
bill providing for free silver. It will
pass the senate in this form, undoubt
edly. There is no hope of its passing
the house. Possibly the gold worship
pers may discover soon that the silver
advocates are in earnest.
Every man who works for a living,
and every poor man, whether a farmer
or mechanic, is rapidly learning that
his interests cannot be promoted by
the gold standard, but are directly
antagonized by it. The gold standard
is urged chiefly by "capitalists out of
debt" and by those who want to make
the product of labor and all kinds of
property cheaper by increasing the
value of the dollar in its purchasing
power, while the working man, the
mechanic, the promoter of enterprises
and farmers all have a common inter
est in having money plentier, and
therefore cheaper, so that the wheels
of industry will be kept greased and in
motion. It is an irrepressible conflict
the conflict of the ages, of the classes
ngainst the masses. The man who
cannot see this must have his eyes
closed by ignorance or interest. A
battle royal is coming on in this coun
try on this question whether man
shall bo free or slave. Choose ye
whom you will serve the God of free
dom or mammon.
The chairman of the house commit
tee on banking and currency desires
that the bankers of the country shall
advise congress what to do regarding
the financial situation. He says there
never was a body of legislators more
anxious to know what ougkt to be done
under the circumstances and more
anxious to do the right thine than the
house of representatives, and he holds
out the assurance that congress will
enact any. measure that the bankers
are agreed among themselves will re
lieve the national treasury. Omaha
Bee.
It is the natural thing for a million
aire manufacturer, who cannot possi
bly have any feeling in common with
the great body of his fellowmen who
work with their hands for a living, to
look to a class of men like the bankers
of the country for advice as to what
aws the people nerd, but nobody flse
would do so. The history of the late
civil war showed that bankers were
the least patriotic of any class of our
people, and it is natural that it should
be so. With a man in hat business
the pocket nerve is the only one that
effects them, and it becomes a habit
with'theui to judce of everything by
it j effect upon their moneyed interests.
With other men it is not so, they lo k
at questions with relation to their effect
upon the people in general and of the
public welfare. The recent demonstra
tion by Wall street bankers and specu
lators against the patriotic policy laid
down by the president respecting ti e
Monroe doctrine, is a demonstration
patent to every man of the fact or posi
tion set out above. That very business
destroys the sense of fellowship among
men, and hence it destroys patriotism
-the willinguess to suffer and die, if
need be, for one's country. Besides,
there can be no interest in common
between the masses and those who
loan money for gain. Their interests
would be best served under a monarchy
or au anstccracy, while for the masses
a republic is necessary. The fact that
they know how to make dollars double
themselves at other peoples expense it
no indication that they would or could
propose good laws for the people.
At the recent meeting of the deposi
tors of the Cicizens bank C. II. Par
mele stated that l.e held S2"i,000 in
certificates of deposite of the bank
md therefore he was interested with
tha others in what was done in the
matter. Other depositors say he bought
these certificates from other depositors
who were forced by their necessities to
sell, and they were told by the receiver
that the bank's affairs weie in such a
condition that they would probably
have to wait for years before a dividend
could be declared and then they might
not get anything, so they were per
suaded to sell at a discount of oO and
GO per cent, while it is now certain
that the bank will pay out. dollar tor
dollar, so that C. II. Parmele will clear
at least 100 per cent on his investment,
and the most of it has been made
through this sort of connivance with
his son the bank receiver. It strikes
us that that sort of business is very
like obtaining money under false
pretenses.
In 1S5S William II. Seward declared
that there was an "irrepressible con
flict" between freedom and slavery in
in this country. He told the truth as
the history of a long and bloody war
fully demonstrated. There is today
another irrepressible conflict going on
in this country, only field has been
changed from black slavery to white.
Its center is found in the silver ques
tion. The question is, Shall idle capital
rule, making slaves of the masses, or
shall active industry, representing a
race of free men, prevail. The conflict
will wage until man shall win over
Mammon, peacably, or after a bloody
revolution.
No one ever thought of introducing
so expensive a feature as lithographic
color work in the days when the lead
ing magazines sold for S4.00 a vear and
35 cents a copv. But times change
and the magazines change with them.
It has remained for he Cosmopolitan,
sold at one dollar a year, to put in an
extensive lithographic plant capable of
printing 320,000 pages per day (one co
lor.) The, January issue presents as a
frontispiece a water-color drawing by
Eric Pope, illustrating the last story
by Robert Louis Stevenson which has
probably never been excelled even in
the pages of the finest dollar French
periodicals. The cover of The Cosmop
olitan is also changed, a drawing of
page length by the famous Faris artist
Rossi, in lithographic colors on white
paper takes the place of the manilla
back with" its red stripe. Hereafter
the cover is to be a fresh surprise each
month.

There is trouble and bloodshed
among society circles in Mercerville.
It seems that a daughter of one of the
prominent citizens of that burg at
tended public worship Sunday evening,
and. wats accompauied home by a
young man, who lingered at the gate,
as young men will, talking to her. It
appears that this joung man is objec
tionable to the family of the young
lady in question, and her brother came
down to the gate and iuvi'ed the
young man to leave. Whereupon the
aforesaid young mau, anxious to prove
his valor iu the sight of his charmer,
removed his coat and invited the
brother to come out in the road and
tight. The brother came, saw and
conquered, aud now the lovelorn
swain mourns the loss of his lady love,
and nurses sundry bumps and bruises
on various parts of his person.
