July 2, 1896. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. 4 AT The Gold Bug Schemes That Will be Worked There. THEIR FIENDISH PLOTS EXPOSED They Will Not Bolt a Free Silver Platform. Their Only Object la to Prevent a Union Of Forces Against Plutocracy. Washington, June 27, 1896. (Special to the Independent:) The announce ment that Ex-Secretary Whitney would hold up his European trip, and that be and a number of other prominent gold men would go to the Chicago convention has been seized upon by the silver demo crats for party advantage. That is, these silver democratic leaders who have - so long deceived the- people and kept the financial question in the backgroun when they knew it was the overshadowing question, but who are now trying to hold the honest rank and file of their party in line, when they can no longei lool them, by declaring lor silver, are busily engaged in putting up a man of straw and knocking him down to show their cou rage and patriotism. They cry out that Whitney is going to Chicago to get the democratic party to declare for the gold standard, and that if the peo pie will put faith in them that they will show how they will defeat Mr. Whitney and his evil schemes at Chicago. Now the truth about this matter is that neither Whitney nor any of the gold men are going to Chicago for the purpose of getting a gold plank. The gold ring does not want two gold candidates for president this year. He is going there lor quite another purpose. It is to pre- vent the silver men from uniting this year. It is true that when Mr. Whitney gets to Chicago that he will urge the southern delegates to agree to a gold plank. When they decline he will urge them to accept a compromise plauk W hen they decline, then he will agree to a straight free coinage plank on condi tion that the silver men will agree to a compromise candidate for president, and here is where the deal will be made, Whitney will say to them: "if you take Mr. "A" as your candidate the east will not furnish any campaign funds, but if you take Mr. "B", who also claims to be a silver man, the east will put up the money for your campaign." The thing that Mr. Whitney and the gold men fear most is that the democratic national convention might endorse Teller for president, and they fear that if this were done that the St Louis convention might also endorse him, and thus the silver forces might be united. This he knows would be the sure defeat of McKin ley, which means the same thing as the defeat of the gold combine. But even if Mr. Whitney fails in everything else, his last card will be to have the gold men to apparently eudorse or submit to the action of the' democratic convention in order to discredit it and make the union of the, silver forces impossible. Mr, Whitney knows that the democratic party is so odious on account-of its false promises and treachery to the people that any candidate and any cause that bears only the democratic label is doomed to defeat in the coming cam paign. He wants the democratic party to run a free silver candidate and to be defeated in the coming compaign, but he wants to hold the party together to keep the southern democrats bound to the northern democrats, because in 1900 the republican party will have become so odious, if unfortunately it should get into power, that it will be necessary for the gold men to control the national democratic -convention, put up a gold bug for president, and elect him through the machinery and by the help of the democratic party including the south. This is Mr. Whitney's scheme and for this, and for this only, he goes to Chicago. Those who doubt this will learn to their sorrow that it is true when it will be too late. And we predict, in addition, that the silver democrats will be caught in his trap.eitber knowing ly or unknowingly. WASHINGTON POLITICIANS. Teller Will not go Into the Democratia Party. Washington, D. C, June 27, 1896, (Special to the Ikbependent Since Jj ' vie adjournment of congress the politi cal kaleidoscope has turned rapidly. De velopements of the political situation have been so rapid that before the pub lic ceased discussing one important phase, something else equally important has demanded attention. While the public was. to some extent. prepared for the action of Senator Tel ler and the western silver republicans at the national convention, yet the gold politicians claimed aud predicted, up to ,. the last hour, that Senator Teller and his friends would not leave the republi can party. Men who are not themselves moved and actuated by patriotic im pulses, but who are largely, if not wholly influenced by the desire for party success or the desire to serve sordid, selfish, aud class interests, cannot well understand how men rise to the patriotic plane, and take the bold stand which Senator Teller and his colleagues did solely for their country s good. Senator Teller was the hero of the republican convention, and his action has found a responsive chord in the hearts of the great masses of the American people from ocean to ocean. Lven many of those who most radically differ from him are first to admit his sterling integrity and patriotic devotion to his country's welfare. A number of democrats are now pre dicting that Teller and his friends will go into the democratic party. Of course, this is idle talk, for he will do no such thing. What a grevious blunder it would be for Teller and his friends to leave one old party that had broken its into another one with equally as bad a Irecord, simply because it is making more fair promises at this time. There is but 7 one hope for silver and the people, and ' that is for every man who opposes the old trust and monopolists to rally to gether under the people's banuer at St. .Louis on July 22d. NOW IS THE TIME FOR UNION. Ltt us Vote and Woik together nd . Victory is Sure In all that is great and grand, the Uuited States has led the nations. Its history is the model of the ages. It re quired one war to secure our independent- another to maintain our rights at sea, and still another to make sure that pop ular government is not a failure V e are now confronted with sti greater and graver dangers. The rule of the money changers has begun. great party, drunk with success, amid the shouts often thousand madmen, has just named as its candidate for the pres idency of the republic a man pledged to maintain the presentgold standard, with all the consequent evils falling prices. loss, of employment, debt and ruin At last alter forty years of unpar alleled career, forgetting the glorious re cord 01 its early achievements, false its pledges, and basely betraying the country it saved the republican party by au 8 to 1 vote, has declared its alle giance to a usurpation of men whose only interest in the country is to rob it, I he situation is perilous. If democrat once unaertooK to destroy the govern ment of the United States, they now have an opportunity to assist iu saving it. Do they see what is immediately in front oftheinf Do they comprehend its mean ing; tan they rise to the level ofih occasion? Is their party nearer and dearer to them than their country? Republican success means perpetual domination of class interests and th downfall of popular government. To prevent this dreadful ending of free in stitutions the people s party of th United States was expressly formed. W are organized and ready for the conflict in every state and couuty. Our success means the rule of the people, with peace. progress and plenty; it means the over throw of class rule and the perpetuity of constitutional authority. Will silver democrats unite with us. Topeka Advocate. Lincoln Foretold It. Colonel John It. Berry, collector of the port of San Diego under Harrison, and long a leading light in! republican pol tics south of Tehachapi, came out in to day s Los Angeles Record ' in a caustic statement denouncing the St. Louis platform. The following extracts from his letter show the trend of his ideas, and they are indorsed by many Los Angeles republicans: "All the Abraham Lincoln republican ism there was in the St. Louis convention. withdrew from it when Senator Teller and hitf followers walked out. It was not long before his assasination that Lincoln, in a letter to a friend in Illinois, foretold the enthronement of plutocracy as the result of the creation of a war debt, and expressed his profound appre hension that it boded great' ill for the American people. "The St. Louis convention was dorai nated by the plutocracy. Its temporary chairman was a corporation lawyer who aspires to become United States senator from Indiana. Its permanent chairman was a cot poration lawver who is a United States Senator from Nebras ka. Its dominating spirit was a protege of protection who has grown rich through governmental favoritism, and who holds the nominee in pawn for the security of a $118,000 debt. The fittest sign for the doorway of that convention would be the three balls of the pawnbroker." He'll Have to Bolt. Senator Tillman made a speech in Nashville, Tenn last week. " The follow ing questions were asked iiim by a man in the audience: "Senator, do you believe the free coin age of silver at 16 to 1 will give the peo ple of this country relief while the na tional banks are allowed to issue and control the paper currency?" ''o. 1 want, in andition to the iree coinage of silver at 16 to 1, the aboli tion of the national banking system, and the issue of full legal tender paper money, by the governmeutdireet to the people." "Do you mean, senator, that you will bolt the national democratic convention at Chicago unless its financial plank is r ' itt 1 . - - 1 ior iree coinage auu w j., nti-iarionai bank, and all?" "les, the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, the abolition of na tional banks, and . the issue of paper money by the general government di rect to the people. A few minutes later a populist in an other part of the hail naked Senator Till man if he understood him correctly, and repeated i:i substance the above -ques tions, t ) which the senator made sub stantially the same answer. He said South Carolina had her state oonven tion tied out in the bushes ready to be re-con(vened unless they got this kind of a platform in the national democratic convention at Chicago. . ' It is au interesting- and significant fact that -all the Nashville daily papers sup pressed all this part of Senator Tillman speech in the report they give of it. Even the bun suppressed it. Think of that. Does that mean that the sun is afraid of the national banks? ti-ii. Warner for Union. Gen. A, J. Warner who left the demo cratic party two years ago and was the chief promoter of the silver party was al most unanimously elected chairman of the Ohio democratic convention. He urged all to sacrifice personal pre ferences aud all other matters for the sil ver issue. The people had made the issue and the St. Louis convention had em phasized the issue by adopting a siogle gold standard. The lines were never so distinctly drawn. He urged all advo cates of the bimetallic standard of the fathers of the constitution to unite on one ticket as well as on one Usue. He in sisted that this union of the people, re gardless of party alliance, against the gold standard money power was now the duty of the hour. It would save the people from becoming a homeless tenan try, while the rich were becoming richer by the increasing value of gold. The values of all that the people possess are decreasing, while the values of foreign money are increasing. Have They Sense Enough? If the money reform forces have sense enough to unite, McKinley is a dead duck. McKinleyism less money more misery Wahoo Era. and EX-SENATOR INGALLS. He Denouncts McKinley and Bolts the Ticket. The wet and south Poor tn all Save Cour age but they will Win. Ex-Senator Johu J. Ingalls has given out a statement from which the follow- lowing is an extract: "Two mouths ago I wrote from Washington that the west would bolt McKinley and gold at the St. Louis convention. As this is written the west, the silver west, is marching out. The revolt is practically accom plisbed. The white savages of silver are leaving the reservation for the warpath. Their great medicine man, Teller, has Bet up the war pole, and theyouug bucks vie with one another as to who shall be the first to strike his war ax into it, as proof of his enlistment. The mutiny is on. Rebellion is afoot and the silver west, with its own candidate and its own platform, will wage war on gold and the east. This means the defeat of McKinley, possibly the death of republicanism. Not the least significant of the signs of the hour is the steady confidence with which the silver forces march away They leave their fellows of gold as Dun dee left the Whigamores of Edinburgh; their feathers tossing, their banners wide flung and free. They nail their gauntlets to the gates of gold and the east stands defied to the uttermost of war. They have remembered what the east forgot. They, too, have a country and a cause. There is a west as well as an east. Silver has its clans, as well as gold its people. The allied natives the east forgot: the west did not. Aud so the silver fighters go back to their tribes. Hannaism, McKinleyism, an over reaching east playing the hog's part in its golden selfishness have split the party. The last chance of success for the republicans has disappeared. There be hills beyond Pentland, And faiths beyond Forth, If there be lords in the Lowlands, There be chiets in the North i The east can laugh at these people, The east should laujrh at people less and study them more. The eastern policy of the tip-titled nose has already cost it the south. 1 hat region glowers at the east across its borders, and the fires of its hatred never die. Today the west ar rays itself against the east and begins running out its lines of battle. The west has become ally to the south, and the ally will be found a hardier, more indom itable enemy than the original foe. It is pleasant and easy for the east to come from its baths and its gardeus, its games and its houses of marble and gilt to idle about the forum and malign the west and call its people Goths and Van dals. But it may hardly prove profit able. The east might better recall what the goths and Vandals did to Rome. These silver people are the Swiss of America. They are poor in all save cotirage. They have heard their war horns sounding and the battle is on They will fight with the cool valor of buccaneers When the east goes against them, pride-blown, purblind in its con ceit of riches, yet really weak with the possession of that which it relies most upon its money it will be the old story of Charles of Burgundy over again. The Swiss will win and whereas just terms might once have been made with them, in their hour of might aud wisdom the west will grant as little as it got. What was ' done to the west, the west in its turn will do. These silver men have already made captive the senate of the Uuited States; there they appear the variest spartans of legislation; they fought the Dingley bill to its death; they boasted that you should never have protection until they had free silver; they made good their boast in the session of congress just end ed, and the Dingley bill left unburied on the field testifies not only to their plans, but to their power to carry them out, What they did to the Dingley bill they will return in December to do again to any legislation they may levy silver war against. McL-inley is beaten, and now 1 11 tell you how. The silver .revolt will sweep the west between the Missouri and ra- cific. You may buy a gold plank in Da kota and again in Oregon, butyoueao't buy the people; you can't bribe the pub ic in the wide region named from the coast to the Missouri, from the Rio Grande to the English line. Silver will sweep all before it. Teller will get roost of them, but at least McKinley has lost every electoral vote after you leave the Missouri river. 1 hey will go to popu lists, to democrats, to silver republicans, but they will none of them go to Mc Kinley, that candidate hand made by Hanna on a platform to which 111 bis heart of hearts he is false. Heaven hates a coward, and McKinley has not been brave. 1 he people are against him and the gods will not fight on his side. Give the west to silver, Cat ifornia, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyora tig, theDakotas, Nebraska. Kansas and Texas. Silver has already conquered them all. And thesouth McKinley can not win or hold a foot of it. -. Broad Minded Populists. Broad minded populists are willing to ay aside their partisanism and meet all anti monopolists in an effort to wrench the reins of government from plutocracy, .'here are many broadgauged republi cans and democrats, who see that their party ie leading them into destruction, who are willing to do the same. On the other hand there are radical hide bound, prejudiced partisans in all parties whose views are identical, but who wiil try to prevent any combination of the reform forces. If victory for the common peo ple, just government and justice be de feated this vear it will be due to the kick- ng propensities of this element. We hope to see good judgment prevail. Farmers Tribune. Populism and the Silver Iue. The state convention of the people's party of North Dakota, or as it is known in that state, the independent party, was held Wednesday ot this week in Grand Forks. It was remarkable for its earnestness and enthusiasm. The silver sentiment of the people seemed to have crystallized at that convention and swept everything before it. The conven tion declares for the principles of the Omaha platform and sets forth the im portance of the financial question, and an absolute necessity of combining with the silver people throughout the state. It was with difficulty that the convention could be held from immoderate senti ment on the silver issue. Inasmuch as free coinage of silver is a step toward a broader basis for our currency a step therefore towards the adoption of scien tific tnouey, it should be welcomed by the loyal, confident, and well poised pop ulists, and made to serve an excellent purpose, the strengthening niovenieut. Progressive Age. of their Shouting for Teller. "This is the first time," said a promi nent and leading republican on the street one day last week, "that any man was ever nominated by the republican party and no great demonstration ratified his nomination. Red Cloud republicans and republicans of all other Nebraska towns always brought out the anvils and made a joyiul noise heretofore. Blaine and Harrison and all the nominees were loudly cheered with bonflires, etc., but McKinley has never been yelled for to my knowledge." And he is right. It is the name of Henry M. Teller that is be ing shouted so vociferously here now. Red Cloud Nation. ' Some Good Stories. The following stories are selected from 'Reform Campaign Stories," a book of 100 pages just issued by Jule Schoen heit. . We give them as samples of what the book contains: PARHY PltEJUDICE. Some people are so thoroughly parti- sau that they would sacrifice all their pleas lira in life for the privilege of voting the old ticket. They are like the Sun day school boy. A devoted Christian lady once had a rather hard Sunday school class. One day after she had spoken of the goodness and virtue of our Savior, she asked Willie, one of the class, which he would rather be as great as Napoleon, as wise as Solomon, as strong as Sampson, as rich as Creosus or as good as the Lord. "Ah," answered Willie, "Id rudder beat de base drum in a circus band." It does seem that some people are as foolish as the Sunday school boy and would rather carry a flaming torch m a campaign parade of his old party, than enjoy all the happiness that plenty of money and good times would bring. KEEP ON KICKING. Some very good people admit that there are a great many abuses in the management of governmental affairs but say there is no use trying to reform things; that the more you kick the worse off you become, 1'eople should not give up so easily. We should take example from the old frog story. One night a farmer left a large can of milk iu a spring to keep it cool. There were a good many frogs about the spring and six of them hopped into the can of milk. Of course they kept on hopping and hopping but made no headway towards getting out. Finally three of them made up their minds that it would be impossible to get out so in despair they sank to the bottom and died. The other three, al though about worn out, kept on jump ing and kicking. This agitation of the milk had the same effect as churning it, and after a long time, the butter com menced to come and then it was not long untn there was a sufficient quan tity for the frogs to rest on. When the farmer came back in the morning seeing the frozs in thecan, he poured the milk out on the ground and the three frogi who had kept up the kicking as long as life lasted, escaped. Let every good cit izen kick and keep kicking on every abuse in public affairs and the day will come when only good men can be elected to office and all evils of government winch Jackson says are unnecessary evils will vanish. WO DIFFERENCE. The gold bug wings of the old parties in general cusseuness are ditto, the speaking of ditto reminds me of a young tier man who was courting a nice Lnglisb girL After going to see her a long time he mustered enough courage and con quered enough English to say, "Mary, love you. Her demure rply was "ditto.' Not. knowing what "ditto" meant he went bome Terpllexed and worried. He met -his lather -hoeing cabbages in the garden and, of course, the first question was: "Father what does "ditto" mean? "Well, John answered his father Here is one cabbage head, you see, and here is another cabbage head. That is "ditto." "Mine Got in Himmel," exclaimed Join, "Did dot Mary cali me ein cab bage head? t)ech. GOLD BUG LOGIC. The single standard people are great on theories. They have a theory that the government must maintain a one hundred million dollar gold reserve, They have a theory that all silver dol larnare wortk only fifty cents. They have -a theory that gold was intended by God to be the only money metal. They have a theory far this, a theory for that and a theory for all thinga. They prove all these theories by a eystem of reason iug which is wellillustrated in the follow ing example. Iuthis example we prove conclusively that a cat has three tails: No cat hastwo tails: One cat lias one more tail than no cat Therefore, one cat has three tails. This is one of the most interesting and valuable books on the market. Sead 25 cents to this office and get a copy. Independent Tub., Co., 1122 M St., Lincoln, Neb. We are for Teller.

If the conduct of the banks at this tin is to be a criterion of what it will be in the future, I am op posed to the extensiou of the banking system, or its continuance for any pur pose. I stated yesterday, my opinion that the control of the paper money of the country should not be lodged with any corporation. I am opposed to giv ing the individuals or corporations the right to contract the currency at one time and to expand it at another just as the speculative spirit of Wall street may demand. I believe it to be the preroga tive of the government of the United States, as it is of every other go em inent, to issue its own currency. I submit to the honorable chairman of the committee who comes here in hot haste with a bill to give to these banks 119,000,000 or $20,000,000 of extra money, or 50,000.000 if they should see fit to put in an additional amount of bonds, whether it is not a good time, in view of their misconduct to perform the functions imposed on them by law, to reform the banking system in the United States. It will hardly do after we have heard the speech of the distinguished senator from Ohio Mr. Sherman to as sert that there is any longer any great haste in this proposed legislation, for he tells us in substance that the fright the people have been under in the United States for the last sixty days simply arose from a fear that we were about to go to free coinage, and I think after the vote in the house of representatives the other day on that subject, even the moHt timid Wall street operator will have no fear on that point, If that is true, we have plenty of time to deliber ate; there is no haste now, the cure has been found; confidence will be restored as quickly as the people can read of that rote. The amount of the , circulation of the banks has increased or decreased not ac cording to the wants of the people, uot according to the demands of commerce and trade, but according to their wishes, and practically with refereuce to the Erice of United States bonds. When the onds went up high enough so that it was of more profit to sell them than it was to use them for issue in banking, they sold them aud contracted the cir culation, one time as much as $56,000,- 000 in a year. They cannot now sur render more than f 3,000,000 a month; that u $36,000,000 a year. I under stand the limit of $3,000,000 a month does not apply to banks that suspend or go Into liquidation, but is the amount that can be voluntarily surrendered. THE GREENBACK. The greenback is nothing after all but a note of the government, with a prom ise as to bow it shall be redeemed; but it takes the place of money in this country iu the most satisfactory manner. It will go everywhere where the English lan guage Is spoken; nay more, it will go everywhere where civilized men will trade. It is good m Luroue; it is good iu Worth ern Africa; it is good in southern Africa; it is good all over this continent, north and south. I was speaking of the value of the greenback. It is a legal-tender paper be tween the citizens of the Uuited States. It will not only buy.which is one of the de sirable and essential qualities of money, but it will pay debts, which is a greater and more valuable function of money than that of purchase. It has never been discredited an hour since we under took to make it good with gold or sil ver. Is it not better than a national bank note that is not a full legal-tender? Oh, but says the senator from Ohio, if you issue $40,000,000 or $50,000,000, or $100,000,000, you will have increased your demand upon the reserve fund, that sacred fund which gives the senator from Ohio and his class of thinkers so much trouble and so much worry for fear it may be depleted! I submit to the senate there is not a man who, when the senator from Ohio made that objection, did not immediately remember that every national bank note is a demand upon that reserve as much as a greenback. The government of the United States has pledged itself to redeem the national bank notes in greenbacks. That is the law and that has been the practice. If the bank redeems in money, satisfactory, lawful money at its counter, well and good. If the bank fails the government of the United States has declared that it stands ready at all times to exchange for the national bank note its note, which is payable on demand at all times in the coin of the realm, and by prac tice in gold. MORE MONEY NEEDED. I believe we have reached a time when more money has to be issued, when the people must have more money, and when, whatever may be the result of our action here, whether the law of 1890 is repealed or not, it is evident that the present stock of money is not sufficient, and it is apparent to every thinking man that if the law remains it is not sufficient. If there is a possibility of its repeal, then I propose to give to the peo ple more money, and I propose to give to them the highest kind of money that there is, unless it be gold and silver. If we fail to secure for them gold and silver on equal terms I shall endeavor to give them, I think with the concurrence and approval of the great mass of the people of the United States, the next best thiug, and that is a greenback. WIPE OUT THE BANKS. I shall not by my note here put any power into the hands of the banks of this country, I shall not enable them any longer to paralyze the industries of this country as they are doing today, to shut up the mills, to close the mines, and to send out into the world homeless, without opportunity to earn their bread, men who were sixty days ago earning good wages at profitable em ployment. That is what they have done and that is what they are doing. They cannot get my vote for any further con tinuation of, their existence, and if I could have a fair opportunity to wipe them out 1 would wipe them out as quickly as it could be done, keeping al ways in mind the great commercial in tereets that would be jeopardized by a sudden cessation of their pretended exer cise of their functions, whLh they are but badly exercising at this time. I will be frank with the senate. I am opposed to the further continuation of the banking system as banks of issue. I desire to withdraw from them the privi lege they now have of issuing circulation, and because I am opposed to that, I shall vote for anything that will make it unnecessary that they shall continue to exercise that illy exercised function.
