Humanity lonrn slowly but surely.
Experience In tb Inwtructor, It bad
been repeated and rejstaled that dm In
ternational agreement plan of th mono
nietallista wa a fake, ilut the warning
of tbe bimetalllst wn unheeded until
the final lesson wan iaugbt by experience
through lti failure of the Wolcott In
teruatlonul agreement commission. It
dm an XS'iislv lesson, but it bun bocu
thoroughly learned.
Th recent move of Mr. Hartley' at
torney to pre bin cose for fluul doois-
iou in tb supreme court may be looked
upon a an effort I railroad the case
through before tbe political makeup of
the court can be changed. The attorney
general would bo Justified in practicing a
little dilatory tactic and wilh-hold the
on until a Judge of different political
party than Mr. Hartley I placed upon
th uprem bench. With th court n It
l compound at present the chances are
that iiimt tochlncnlity could b dlscov
red by which Mr. Hartley couhl and
would b allowed to go free.
It ooet th Unlred Ktrtt' government
1100,000 to wnd the Senator Wolcott
commission to England to gather tbe
information that England is not in
farorof th free coinage of silver. It
will be remembered that ther have been
ome other tbltig that England did not
favor, for example, the Independence of
the American colonic. At another time
England did not think that United
State vessel bad any right ou the

XHOhAVD AMD BIMETALLISM,
The return of the Wolcott lnterna
innnl TtimntKllifi commieeion without
ecuring even a much a a bearing from
tbe authorities of the European govern
manta will probably result In 10ml good
by convincing thoee who bava hitherto
been in doubt that there ia nothing bat
deceit intended In the International
agreement pretenelon of tbe gold etand
ard advocate. Itaerveato more com
pletely uncover their Intention and In
dicate more clearly to the American
people what tbe adoption of the eingle
gold standard really mean. In July
the prees dispatches from Europe seemed
to indicate that a favorable agreement
with some couoeanions to the silver couu
trie might bs expected. France wa
friendly and a large element in Germany
aleo pledged support. Hut when tbe
commlesion crossed tbe channel to Eng
land they met the united opposition of
tbe London and Emtlish broker. On
Beptembor 2'2, the banker bad a meet'
Ing and unanimously joined in a protest
to tbe authorities of the English govern
ment ttuslust any concessions to the
silver men. The English authorities,
obedient to the dictations of the Eng
llsb bankers, refused to discuss the mat'
ter further and sent our commission
fiorne. Thus it will be seen that we have
score or less of London bankers able to
dictate the monetary system for tbe
Eniclisb government and throuxh that
government to dictate the monetury
system of the world, Hhall the United
Htates, n independent nation, submit
to this financial government by foreign
bankers? Is it policy for this nation
to allow bankers, owing allegiance to
another government, to control It fi
nances? What will tbe final end be? In
tbe event of a dispute with a foreign
power what would become of our money;
on whom would we be compelled to rely
for support? If the EngliNh bankers can
dictate the financial policy of this coun
try, cannot they with equal right dic
tate our foreign policy and our system
of taxation? Huppos the English bank
ers should decide tbe policy of protec
tion pursued by the United Ktatc was
detrimental to English manufacturers,
bow many would favor tbe repeul of the
tariff laws in order to sutisfy the English
bunkers? No one would advocate such
policy. Those who believe and advo
cate the repeal of the tariff laws do not
assiga as one of their reasons that Eng
land want them rejiealed. Yet, It would
not be more foolish than the argument
that this nation must have a monetary
system satisfactory to the English bank-
ore,
The return of tbe Wolcott commission
without ngcomplishing anything will
start tbe American people to thinking.
They will receive as much good from the
thinking they will do as tbe cost of the
commission. They will begin to investi
gate the reasons why the English bank
er are ao wedded to the gold standard
They will learn that England is the
creditor nation of the world; that it is
tbe home of the lendlords, that It is to
their interest to have a dollar of great
value. A dollar that will buy the most
products Is their ideal dollar. They
hold the bund and securities of tbe
world that call for payment in dollars
and the less number of dollars in the
world with which to pay these boiuls.the
the greater will be the demand for t he
dollars and the ureal it the vi-lue of tint
dollar. HI111II we, an inilepnuilimt nil.
tiou, submit to the rule of t he English
lendlords?
UO KIl.VM KNT IIVKVMIICATK,
A syndicate composed of Wall street
bankers, the Vuinleibilts, Astors and
other New York millionaires has as
sumed control ol the ciiMtoin houses
and banking institutions of the republic
of lloinluru and has begun the tank of
liquidating the indebtedness of that
country. The syndicate is In absolute
control and practically owns tbe entire
Honduras government.
Tbe debt originated IntheftO'a when
a corrupt set of Honduras Koverumxiit
official ieeued '.'5,000,000 of bonds up
on the preteiiHe ol liiuiilatiiit(or tloatiug

English capitalists are aiming at a
aimilar result In several other amall
oouutries and probably hope ultimately
to so badly Involve this nation in debt
that a receiver will be necessary. Of
course, we are big, bnt tbeir scheme of as the claim has been paid In full the peo.
contraction of the currency of the world pie can have no complaint; that the pub
is also blg.and we have already partially lie should be completely sutisfied, Inn

mission to coin silver.
IIKSPONNIIIILITY OF KLKCTOIt.
The campaign I over and w cannot
be criticised a speaking Irorn a partisan
view when we urge tbe necessity of every
citixen casting his vole at elections. It
is an Important privilege and cannot b
over valued by the oitlvm. The welfare
and prosperity of this nation is iu tbe
control of the cltixen elector, He is In
deed a tiolitleal spcniJtnrirt who will ne
glect so Important a duty. Ho may aud
generally Is, a good and industrious- citl
zen In other respects. It Is hi Intention
to deal honestly iu his business affair
and provide for himself and family, to
attend to hi own busiues and allow
other people to attend to tbeir. Hut In
neglecting to perform his duty as a clti
xen, he allows the government so far a
he I concerned, to drift Into the control
of designing political trickster and
robbers and before he I hardly aware of
it hi substance Is being taken from bltn
by unjust taxation to be enjoyed by
those who toll not, Not only this but
he become t he victim of corporation
associations ol organized greed, Fre.
quoutly be reason that his vote will not
change the result, 1'orhnps not, but it
will help. And the help of thousands
who reasoned as he did Is all that would
have been necessary to change the re
suit of the majority of elections ever held
in this country. The right to take part
in the selection of public official carry
with It the responsibility for it proper
exercise, The responsibility 1 a grave
one. There is more Involved then the
pleasure und hnppiues of tbe present
generation. Ou it proper exercise de
pends the permanency of our govern
ment, and the ultimate freedom of our
people. Mhould not such a responsibil-
ty be exercised with diligence and care?
,t every elector who remained at borne
on election day consider these thing,
and when he has done so, his conscience
will condemn him for his neglect.
IIKMHY tiOHIlH.
Henry Oeorge is dead, Theannounce
ment came like a thunderbolt from a
clear sky. Howes engaged in a battle
for the causo ol the oppressed, The eyes
of all the nation were upon him. At the
time of his unexpected death hi name
wa on the lips and iu the mind of more
people in the United Htate than that of
anyother mail. He hud thrown his
whole soul Into the contest In New York.
Little he cared for himself or the mere
position of mayor ol Oreo ter New York,
His ideals were higher. Ho hoped to
gain a position from which be could put
Into practical operation some of the
principles to which he hud devoted years
of study. To Hit up and better the con
dition of his fellowmau was his one ob
ject, lie was a sincere man. Hisappou-
cuts all grunted that during his life, aud
have paid almost reverential tributes
since his death. None reali.ed better
than he did the great personal sucriliees
he was making when he entered the con
flict lu New York, in his sHcch of ac
ceptance he said "I'll make this race if it
costs me my life". From the hour of his
acceptance to the hour of hie death he
battled llorccly for the cause so near his
heart. Fearless, he did not hceitute to
declare hiiiiHelf upon every question be-
fore the Hioplo, and to denounce crime
and wrongs of every kind. With him it
was not a question of votes, it was a
question ol right unit principle, It was
this purity id purpose, aud unswerving
devotion to principle thut made his fol
lowers love him so dearly, It was the
remembrance ol bis noble rharucter that
caused meii and women In comities
thousands to mourn bis untimely end,
It wits the fewling for a loet friend that
brought teurs to the eyes ol Ktroug meu
aud caused Women to weep in the atreets
of New York, in the history olid tbe
worlil there have leea but few meu loved
as was Henry tieorge.

IHK INION PACIFIC HALE.
Tbs government's claim against the
Union Pacifio railroad has beeu paid in
full. Tbe government will release all
claims to the road, which will pas into
the possession ol the railroad king 0
New York. It will be asserted by the
monopoly sheets of the country that
open to criticism for making the pur
chase. The responsibility for the dona
tion of the millions of acres of land and
for the enormous over-charges which
the government ha paid to the Union
fuel He for hauling mail and soldiers aud
other government freight rests upon the
United Mate congress, thechosen repre
sentatives of the people. Hut aside from
the past history of the road, which is of
little consequence at the present time,
there are ot her problem In which the
people should bo interested. The most
Important is as to the future operation
of the road. 'I bis road affords almost
the only outlet for the enormous quan
tity of products of the central west, It
Is the people of the central west who
must ptiy the freight and passenger rates
that will produce the revenue to meet
the operating expenses of the road and
pay the dividends upon the stock, Jf the
stock issued exceeded tiieuctual value of
the road it I plain that the people 11 v-
ug along the road und compelled to
patronize it must pay unjust rates to
make It possible to declare big dividend
on the fictitious value of the stock.
The road was bid iu by the present
owner at fOitoOO.OOO. subnet to
prior lien of about f 40,000,000 mak
Ing the total cash value of the road a
little less than 1 100,000,000. If the
rate to be charged were so regulated im
to pay a dividend of 4 sir ceut per an
num the annual tax upon the producers
living along the line would (tmount to
1-1,000,000 over and above the iterat
ing expense ut tho road. Block which
net 4 per cent are regarded a good In
vestments. It is understood to be the
purpose of t he new company to greatly
Inflate the stock, Jt will issue f 100,000
000 of 4 per cent bonds, 75,000,000
of preferred stock and 01,000,000 of
common stock, at total capitalization
of 230,000,000 or considerably more
thuu twice the actual value of the road
aud Its equipments, If the freight und
passenger rates are made sullciently
high to pay a 4 percent dividend upon
all this stock it is clear that the patron
of the road will be compelled to pay 0,
440,000 uonutilly to meet the dividends
or 5,440,000 annually over and above
''' "d legitimate profit upon the ao
t"' Investment. Will (ho people of the
central west submit to this kind of rail
road robbery?
The government should have bought
the road by paying off the 410.-
000,000 of prior loin and operated It In
the interest of the people, making freight
and passenger rates sufficiently high to
fiay actual cost of operation and no
more. The people of tho central west
would then have been saved the annual
tribute of 0,4 10,000 which they will be
expected to pay to the railroad kings
of Wall street.

Those who defend judge in their pre
ent practice of the use of injunction base
their argument on the premise that it is
tbe only method to prevent the wanton
destruction of property. It is true that in
some instance the injunction has been
used to prevent the destruction of life
and property but it wa not originally
designed ofr that purpose. It is like using
a hatchet to dig a post hole with. The
authorities designed to enforce the law
of the country to prevent their lufrac
tiou and the destruction of property I

judicial department has said what the
law Is, It then become the duty of the
executive department to gee that the

there can bo no destruction of property
any more than under a system of gov
eminent by Injunction.

Why did not Meeerve get a guarantee

Hecause they are constitutionally illegal.
Tint constitution does not provide for
any such bond, neither does law. Sup

how could his bond bo collected? In the

The fight in New York Citv is a th,-
cornered one. Tammany and Croker
lor Van Wyck, tho republican party and
I'latt for Tracy. Then there are Low
and Oeorge, both clean, decent men.
Croker and Flatt will consolidate if
there should be any danger of either of
the other two, and George and Low may
consolidate just before election. The re
publican admit that they will not get
near the vote in city or state they did
last fall.
Now tho new comes from New York
since tho above was written, that George
handled and that tho city had gono
heavily for Tammany, Van Wyck. Two
Jire calamities. Georgo wa a reformer,
fearless and true. Tammany has al
ways been a wolf gnawing at the vitals
of honor und justice.
Nebraska too, ha had another shak
ing up, not by Tammany, but by George
Low reformers of the west, Ohio has
had a close shave. We still hope that
llanna, the great boodlor, will be lelt ut
homo.
