TEE SHYER ISSUE-
One of the greatest legislative crises
In the history of this country is swiftly
approaching. The president has thought
itneoeesary to call congress together
in extraordinary session. The date of
meeting is August 7. The object
sought is the repeal ofthe preaent
silver law known a theSherman law.
The United States has reached "the
dividing of the ways.' About twenty
year ago the , great creditor class of
the worldr'usually spoken of as the
money newer, began a systematic effort
to oonfraot th volume of money in all
oivtflzed nation. , A the principal
means of contraction they aimed to
strike down one of the money metals,
silver, to entirely demonetize it where
ever possible, and to curtail Its use and
degrade it everywhere. In this scheme
the money power has been eminently
uooessful. The mints of the world are
now closed against silver as an inde
pendent monny metal. While silver is
still used for subtldary coins in nearly
all countries, and in many countries is
till minted into full legal tender coins,
its coinage Is everywhere' limited and a
wide divergence has been created be
tween its money value and its bullion
value.
In accomplishing the demonetization
of silver the money pawer has used
various means, the principal ot which
are: .
First Bribery: Lawmakers and pub-
llo offloers have been corrupted, news
papers have been subsidized, and poli
ticians of high and low degree have
been bought.
Second False education of the peo
pie: raise ideas concerning money
have been persistently taught the peo
ple by the subsidized papers, by hired
orators, writers and politicians. At
the same time true ideas of money have
been treated with scorn and ridicule.
Third The power of money to op
press: The creditor class ha used its
power to extend it power, The bor
rower is a slave to the lender. As the
debtor else ha Increased, the domin
ion of th creditor class has extended
until now the money power can at will
blast the prosperity, not only of lndl
vlduals, but of the whole producing and
commercial world.
Just now the money power if making
a desperate effort to give silver its
death blow in America. The subsi
dized press, the politicians, the' bank
erg, the bond-holders, and the creditor
class generally are striving to their ut
most to secure the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law.
The only direct effect ot the Sherman
law has has been to put into clrcula
tlon about four million dollars per
month of treasury notes since August
1, 1890, a little more than II40,000,0C0
in all. This has been substantial ad
d I tlon to our currency in a form most
acceptable to the people. The repeal
of the law means the stoppage ot this
Issue. It mean that all increase of
paper currency will cease. No silver
dollars have been coined for two years
If the gold-bugs have their way not an
other silver dollar will ever bs coined
In the United States. A small part of
the silver bullion in the treasury vaults
will bs coined into dimes, quarters and
half-dollars, and the balance will finally
be sold for use in the arts. All debts
will become payable in form and in fact
in gold or its equivalent.
Yet we are told by the tools of the
money power that all this must be done
to restore confidence, to avert disaster,
to revive prosperity. As well might a
doctejr prescribe bleeding for a patient
who is already pale, emaciated and
weak from loss of blood. Contraction
of the currency has brought this coun
try into the terrible throes of poverty,
bankruptcy and despair, yet the remedy
proposed is more contraction.
What will the repeal ot the Sherman
law do? Will it lift any mortgages?
Will it increase the prices of farm pro
ducts? Will it revive ourJanguishlng
inauairies ana start new ones? will it
glvi employment to labor? Will 11
make banks safe? No; on the contrary
it will make it utterly impossible for
farmers to ver payoff their mortgage.
It will increase the value of every not
bond nd mortgage, but decrease the
debtor's power to pay. It will force
price of farm product lower than ever
before. It will rivet the fetter which
the money power has placed on th na
tion's limbs.
It i true that times might be tem
porarily improved if the demand ot
the money power are granted.
Th present financial troubla has
been brought on to a largo extent by
Wall street for a purposo. Whoa that
purpose isaohUvod. Wall street' powr
will be exerted to rellev the string
ency. But what Is a mere temporary
relief, bosld the awful offset Wfllch
must ultimately flew from th adoption
of th slngl gold standard?
To rolls th present trtngoacy by
surrendering to th money mo to
pav th way for a panlo tea Unto
greater and more awful la It effect.
It I th duty of very patriot to
stand by silver la this crisis, to oppoe
th repeal of th Sheraaa law vales
fro ooiaafo ea bo substituted.

The following appeared la th a
otatoj pro report for last Friday)
Tim, U,. Jane .U Th failure of
ate in the city of Fustorts, hu aeeuroed
proportions which are astonishing. The
failure will in all probability approxi
mate if notexoeed 11,000,00a
The figure astonish everybody, and
none more so than Fester himself.
Over 75,000 of claims held by the
wholesale grocery firm of Davis &
Foster were rejected as absolutely
worthless by the appraisers. Fosters
account in bis bank is overdrawn $136,
000. This is th same Foster who last year
sent out a statement, as secretary of the
treasury, falsifying statistics as to the
amount of money in circulation; and
generally doing the bidding of Wall
street.
"Tt.e mills ot the gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceedingly small."
EILVEE AND WHEAT-
In the associate press dispatches of
one dsy occurred two dispatches which
tell an important story. Read this on
silver:
Dkmver. C'lo.. June 29. --Silver min
ing and smelting in Colorado will cease.
This decision was reached at a meeting
of all the leading mine owners and
managers of the state held this after
noon. The mine can not be operated at
the present prices and to stop further
loss all operations win come to a stand
still and 25.000 to 30,000 men will be
thrown out of employment.
The great drop In the price of silver
bas resulted la a depreciation in me
price of mining stock such as was never
before witnessed. Mollle Gibson stock
which a couple of months ago was sell
ing at 17.75 per share, and which closed
yesterday at 13. slumped today to tl.55
and ws selling at that figure In the east
this afternoon wttn prospects of sinning
to II, or less. Uuslness on tao mining
exchange Is practically at a stDdntui,
only gold stock being traded in. There
la absolutely no market for silver stock
at any price nor will there ba until
there If a change m the aspect of the
silver market.
Now read this of the same date on
wheat:
Chicaoo, 111, June 29. Wheat of
contract grade Ho. a regular, sold on the
board of trade at 62 cents a butnel to
day, breaking ail previous records since
1857. A feeling akin to a panic prevail
ed on the exchange and traders ran
around asking each other what the mat
ter was, and when it was going to end.
Of the dozens of explanations given to
account for the low prices, that most
commonly ad vancei was the silver con
dition, and in further support of this
pronosition it was said that the price ot
bullion had dropped to 63 cents this
morning, which would bring the sliver
dollar down below 60 cents measured by
gold. Just why a drop in the commer
cial value of silver should affect the
price of wheat was not explained.
Perhaps the paid lackeys of the asHO
elated prest cannot or dare not make
such an explanation. Most any man of
common senwe could do so however. '
CAUSE OF GOLD SHIPMENTS.
It has been claimed by the gold bug
element that the existence of the Sher
man law ia the cause of the present
financial stringency. Without attemp
ting to discuss the matter, we will
simply cits an authority from the rank
of the gold-bugs themselves, whose
statements utterly refute this claim
Major S. G. Brock, the retiring chief
of the bureau of statistics who has made
a close study of the present financial
situation. Ue says:
"There seems to be a disposition at
this time of business trouble and appro
henston to attribute all the ills of large
gold exports, stringency In the money
markets and failures of banks to the
Sherman silver bill. To my mind this
is a serious mistake. The so-called
Sherman silver bill has little or noth
log to do with the large exports of gold
and to entirely different causes are the
present financial disturbances In the
United States attributed. It should be
remembered that our gold is not driven
from this country as is so frequently
asserted, but it is drawn from this
country to Europe because the demand
for it there is greater than it is here.
Gold, like all other commSQies,
flows to the markets where it" is most in
demand. To my mrnd it appears very
plain that tbfrfact that the United
States, purchases every month 4,500,000
oufedes of silver at 83 cents per ounce,
amounting to about 145,000,000 during a
year, for which It pays treasury notes
which are redeemable la silver or go:d.
has no'more to do with drawing gold
out of the country than the expendi
ture of $3000,000 for rivers and har
bors or $30,000,000 for ships of war. or
hundreds ot millions for other purposes,
because these greenbacks, treasury
notes, etc.. paid out for the purposes
mentioned, are redeemable in gold or
silver, some of them in gol I only.

I'm DAT aad Saturday of tut work
15 EXTBA 8ESSI0I-
The decision has been made. The
president, prior to departing on a fish
ing excursion, called congress to meet
in sesiion extraordinary Angust 7.
Then he immediately gathered his rods,
reels and flies and hied himself away to
Ho; Island on Buzzard's Bay, we do
ne t remember which.
Ia the latter days of June silver is
stricken down in India. Immediately
the president calls congress together to
comp'ete the striking down of silver in
America. Thus the successive steps in
the gold bug scheme are carried out.
The president's message calling con
gress together dwells only on one ques
tion, that of finance. It has but one
ebjec' the repeal of 'certain legislation'
in other words, the Sherman law.
America twice beat back the arms of
England, but she sems in a fair way to
succumb to English gold. The conquest
that tailed by the sword . may succeed
through the counting house.
The attempt will be made to give
American silver its death blow and to
place America at the mercy of the Bank
of Eagland. If this can be dene the
Britlwh system, tenant farming, land
lordism, aristocraoy and all, will be fas
tened on the United States and Andrew
Carnegie's dream will be realized.
That is what await this country if
the plsn of the gold-bugs Is carried
out. i We are right oa the threshold
of such a system. Cngrets meets next
month and the president has given his
edict that it shall repeal the rilver pur
chase act, the only thing that stands
between this country and the geld
basis.
It remains for patriotic Americans to
prevent this calamity.
EIGHT SIDE UP WITH OAEE-
The following from the Platte
County Argus of last week Is a com
pliment which we appreciate particu
larly as it comes from one of the bright
est and best Informed editors in the
west, Mr. Warwick Saunders:
"He laughs best who laughs-last" is
an old saw which is offered those who
were rejoicing because they thought
The Alliance-Tkdependent of Lin
coln had been crushed to death by its
enemies. , This paper with its many
thousands of 'subscribers scattered all
over ths state, hais been one of the most
potential factors In the successful work
ings of iV.G alliance and the rolling up
of a crushing vote at the polls in favor
of the common interests of the people
of the etate.
The Alliakce-Inoepkndent, ever
since S. Edwin Thornton and his asso
ciates have had control of it, has been
hewing to the lin and permitting the
chips to drop where they may. The
paper has made a courageous flgbt for all
the demands made by the organized in
dustrial forces and the true and able
populists throughout the state in stand
ing by the paper are simply doing their
duty to the paper as The Allance-In-dependent
has performed its duty to
them. It goes without saying that any
man, set of men or party which desires
the support of a newspaper will not
hesitate in support of their press when
ever their common enemy tries to crush
it to death. ,
The Alliance-Independent Is too
well backed by able populMs through
out the state to be floored by the crowd
which has been houndiog the paper
witn a view or splicing one or tne peo
ple's most effective guns in this serious
battle between the great common peo
pie and the unduly favored classes.
THE PEOPLE ARE FOE SILVER.
If the sentiment of the people of the
people of the United States could be
wholly ascertained, there is little doubt
but there would be an. overwhelming
majority for free silver. This has been
practically admitted even by the ene
mies of the wh4te metal. Irrespective
of party irrespective almost of section,
there is a demand for more money.
The Sherman law passed in 1890 was a
compromise to prevent the passage of
a free silver bill.
The attempt of Cleveland to force
the repeal of that law, therefore, is an
attempt to override the will oi the peo
ple. Both the republican and democratic
platforms declared for bl-metallism.
It was the understanding of the ad
herents of those parties generally that
they would stand upon those platforms.
There was no fight made against the
Sherman law before the people. That
fight was made in secret. The senti
ment ot the people on this question is
unchanged. It has been and is for fro
silver.
WHO CAUSED THE PA1IC?
There I a little doubt that the pres
ent panlo in this country was created
for a purpose. The shipping ot gold
to Europe was tor a purpose. The
latter wa Intended to (ore th lsu
of mere bonds. Th former wa la-
tended as th baal for a false cry

mately to fore Ite repeal.

imiOA MUST LEAD
The money power bas the civilized
world by the throat. Every where is
felt its terrible grip. The serfdom of the
misses is the aim of plutocracy.
The populists of America should
realize that they are fighting, not
merely their own battles but the battle
of the masses ia all civilized nations. If
the misses in free America can. not
assert their rights and maintain their
liberties, what hope is there for the
down-trodden masses of other lands?
A recent dispatch shows the condi
tion to which the n-ssses of Norway
have been reduced as follows:
"In a recent debate in the Norwegian
legislature, Mr. Anrestad, member for
one ef the chief agricultural districts
ia the country, maintained that the
landowners sad farmers were steadily
falling deeper and , deeper into debt.
Thos who now, he said, in reality own
the soil of Norway are the Bank of
Norway, the Land Mortgage bank, the
savings banks and traders in towns.
The mortgage debt on Norwegian agri
culture has more than doubled in
twenty years. He estimated that
Norwegian peasant proprietors owned
reUly about one-sixteenth ot the value
of the land, house and forests in the
country, and that the Interest on the
land debt at 4 per oent now amounts to
one-sixth of the total yield of agricul
ture in Norway. He declared the con
dition of the farmers to be desperate,
and that unless serious steps were taken
they would -be entirely ruined.
Throughout the debate nobody disputed
the desperate state to which the peas
ant proprietors had been reduced."
While the above shows the condition
to which the people haye been reduced
in Norway, and what appears to bs the
Immediate cause, It does not give the
primary cause: In 187U the money
power succeeded in putting Norway on
a gold basis. That is the root of the
evil. That caused a contraction of the
ourrency, a general depreciation of
values, an appreciation of debt. It
forced the peasants to become borrowers
Interest payers. It put them In the grip
of Shylock. The result is that every
year their surplus products go to pay
interest, and they fall deeper and deep
er into debt. They are virtually slaves
What is true of Norway Is true to a
greater or less extent of every civilized
nation. It is true of the United States
In this country the masses have the
ballot. They have free speech and a
free press. They have the means and
opportunity to inform themselves, and
to right their wrongs. The masses of
the civilized world must look to the
masses of America tQj lead the way, to
start the revolution which will emancl
pate the producers of the world.
Farmers and laborers of the United
States, do you " realize the awful re
sponsibility that rests upon you? Are
you equal to the task? A century ago
your fore-fathers enunciated the great
principles of political liberty and
equality, and established this nation on
those principles. They fought to free
men from political tyranny. Now
greater tyranny curses, and crushes
civilization, the tyranny of plutocracy.
You have already enunciated the prln
ciples on which industrial liberty must
rest. Have you the Intelligence, and
heroism to maintain them? Will you
lead the civilized world in its next step
forward and upward?
