A story that In every line tells of a glad release
From chains of gold that firmly bold the free

Of golden ropes that strangle hopes and fill
the heart with dread. i
Sing to the Jingling meter of the dollars and the

GUTTERING GOLD GLAMOUR.
Why Is llutnsia Intelligent nxwltehett by
the Metallic Mono DeloslonT
The goldltes attempt to scare the
people into submission to the gold
standard doctrine by depicting the
horrors of gold at a premium. With
just conditions, there need be no pre
mium on gold, although the per capita
is increased to fifty dollars. Greenbacks
remained at par with gold as long as
they were clothed by law with full
legal tender quality, and there is not
the least probability that the relation
could be changed now unless it is
forced by the combined gold power of
the world.
But suppose an increase of circula
tion should cause gold to go to a pre
mium, is it not at a premium now?
Does not our government now pay a
premium for gold, and a pretty heavy
one at that? Did not Mr. Cleveland
agree to pay a premium of about three
per cent, gold interest in the recent
gold deal with the Rothschilds?
But suppose gold should go to a pre
mium like it did during the closing
years of the war, who could it injure?
Were the people not more prosperous
in 1805-6 than they are to-day? Then
who suffered by the cornering of gold
by the money gamblers? If the masses
of the people do not suffer, then very
little damage results.
The bugaboo is also raised that gold
will go out of circulation, and leave
the country. Is not gold out of circu
lation now? and does not gold leave
the country now whenever the gold
gamblers want it to leave? The gold
circulation in domestic business now
is so small that it amounts to nothing,
But what does it argue if gold is not
in circulation to any extent? What
evil would result if there was no gold
in circulation at all? None whatever!
The business of the country would go
on just the same. Other currency
would pay debts and buy necessaries,
pay taxes and support business, as it
does anyway, and no one would know,
unless so informed, that gold was not
circulating.
Gold never can fill the functions of
currency, as it is too scarce to meet the
demands, and hence if the bulk of the
currency is silver, or paper, why not
have it all silver and paper, or paper
alone? The gold gamblers would have
the people believe that if gold money
left the country, there would be a ca
lamity, and an era of universal starva
tion. All such talk as this is simply
business lingo. The gold gamblers, of
course, try to hold up their business,
and if they can convince the people
that the country cannot get along
without cold, the gold business is
profitable, but if the people don't care
about gold. ' then the demand for it

'"languishes.
AThe claim that a government must
maintain a single gold standard in or
der to main a sound government credit
is all rot. A government always pays
its debts in commodity, never in its
own money, as such. Therefore,
money recognized by a government, or
a money the creation of the law power
of a government, never pays a debt due
to other nations. These international
debts are always paid in commodities.
Gold may be demanded but gold do!
lars never are. In 'any event, there is
no necessity for this country to be in
debt to any other country on the face
of the globe. Our exports always e
ceed our imports, so why should we be
in debt to any other nation?
But this line of argument could be
almost indefinitely extended. The
whole gold argument is of, by and for
the money gamblers, and not in the
interest of the masses of the people of
this country. Any one knows, if he
has brains enough to keep out of the
fire, that when th people of a country
are prosperous and bappy, and all are
employed in producing wealth, that
countrv is more able to pay its debts
than when wealth production is
clogged, and one half of the wealth
producers are tramps and vagabonds.
Holding up the gold standard, under
the pretense of maintaining the sovern
ment, is the very thing that has caused
our government to borrow among and
create debts to other nations. If the
policy of the present gold oligarchy at
Washington is not checked it will soon
have. the government so overwhelmed
by debt that it never can pay out, and
then where will the sound g-ovcrnrnent
credit come in? Southern Mercury.
THE INTERNATIONAL FAKE.
The Republican Party Will Depend Upon It
to Carry Them Through One More Cam
paien. The Washington Star, in a recent
issue, had the following interesting
piece of news:
"There is a growing belief among
many of the political gossips at the na
tional capital that the next few months
will find the republican party aligned
for bimetallism and the democratic
organization divided into distinct and
avowed gold and silver monometallis
tic factions. The belief, it is explained,
is based upon some recent events and
upon a review of past occurrences.
'The people who entertain this
opinion say that nothing further is
needed to demonstrate that the demo
crats will divide upon gold and silver
monometallism than the president's
recent declaration of the coming fight
lying between sound money and silver
monometallism, and the subsequent
announcement of some of the party
leaders in favor of gold monometallism.
This, in connection with the efforts
now under way in several states east
of the Mississippi to get free silviin. other states. Please address me at
conventions, is proof positive, they
say, of the great chasm that is yawn
ing in the democratic party.
"It is claimed that the republicans
propose to avoid precipitating any
such severe issue in their own party,
and are going to begin early to take
the firm ground that bimetallism is a
possibility and not a hopeless cise, as
represented by democrat Recent ut
terances of prominent republicans,
Senator Allison and ex-President Har
rison in particular, are pointed to as
straws indicating the trend of opinion
in the republican party.
"In this connection references are
being made to the developments be
fore the international monetary cow
ference, and the stateuenU of the
prominent financiers of the world at
that gathering are being recalled and
invested with peculiar interest at this
time."
After reviewing, at some length, the
arguments made at the last interna
tional conference favorable to bimetal
lism, the Star concludes as follows:
'It is now claimed that these argu
ments show that even as far back aa
1893 there was strong bimetallic senti
ment in England, which has been sig
nally increased and accentuated by the
great financial depression consequent
upon the fulfillment of Mr. Roths
child's well-remembered prophecy that
disaster would follow if silver were
not protected in some way. It i
claimed that the last two years have
demonstrated an increase in the bi
metallic sentiment of England that
is, among the industrial classes as la
this country, bordering in a degree up
on the extent of the spread of bimetal
lism among the people of the United
States. The political gossips admit
that there may have been no change
of feeling on the part of the Roths
child element, but that on the con
trary the Rothschild element has
succeeded in impressing gold standard
ideas upon many Americans.
'The point is made, however, that
the mass of the people, the element
that it is claimed will eventually de
termine the fiscal policy of the nation,
are showing a decided leaning toward
bimetallism and clamoring for a trial
of it anyhow, and that if an interna
tional conference can be held within the
next year or two the opposition put
forth by the British delegates at tha
last meeting will at least have been
modified to such an extent as not to
present an insuperable bar to an agree
ment . This is said to be the belief of
a great many republicans in this coun
try, who are at least willing to wait a
year or two longer, if necessary, in
order to give it a trial, rather than to
rush either to the extreme of gold
monometallism, which they declare to
be un-American, or to silver monomet
allism.
"At all events, they say it is too
early to give up absolutely and to say
that it must be 'gold monometallism
or nothing,' or to take the ground that
bimetallism is a chimera and unlim
ited national free coinage the only al
ternative of gold monometallism. It
Is argued that the pursuance of the
line of action thus indicated will draw
into republican ranks the conservative
people of all classes, democrats in
cluded, who would regard this position
as the safest and most likely to con
tribute to national prosperity."
FOREIGN CAPITAL.
The People Furnish the Credit bat the
Money Lenders Get the Credit for Fur
nishing It.
When we talk of inducing eastern
capital to seek investment in the state
what do we mean? Is our state built
up by eastern labor or eastern goods?
Is the eastern capital desired or ex
pected to bring anybody or anything
here to "build up" with except money?
And of what use is money except to
make our exchanges with? Don't we
buy a means of exchange at a pretty
high figure when we mortgage our
property and our future prosperity to
get it, agreeing to give most of the
wealth we produce as interest? "Cap
ital", hasn't made Kansas; it never
made any country great, rich or pros
perous and never will. The state has
been built up by the men who live
here. The coupon clippers and money
lenders in the east have simply been
leeches to suck our life blood. We have
been paying them for their credit to
build up our railroads and factories,
furnish us , supplies; and yet their
credit is based on ours and things we .
bought with the money they fur
nished. If you borrow money on your
farm to make improvements, or to in
vest in cattle, the value that secures
the debt is a value that you and your
.fellow-citizens have created. The cap
italist does nothing, and furnishes
nothing except credit All that he can
possibly do is to supply you with a
means of making your exchanges
generally his promises to pay because
you are not wise enough to supply
yourself without calling on him. As .
things are. the capitalist, of course,
renders the community a service in
furnishing it a means of making its ex
changessomething to measure and
represent values, but in comparison
with the real worth of the service he
renders he is the most overestimated
and overpaid man in the world. Our
descendents will wonder that we
could ever have been so foolish as to
give a few men all the wealth the na
tion produces and make them our mas
ters, in return for the use of theii
money or their credit to do our busi
ness with. Star and Kansan.

United States Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, republican, is leading the g. o.
p. of that state to adopt an out-and-out
free silver platform. Would'nt it be a
great scheme to cut down our platform
to free silver and in one state be swal
lowed by the democrats and in another
by the republicans who favored 18 to 1
free silver? It's a pity some of our
silver-crazy populists ca-i't be lifted up
high enough to view the whole na
