THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. NOVEMBER 23 1E93 FREE COINAGE. VR. BLAND PREPARING TOR ANOTHER SILVER SIEC8.

The indie tiona are tbat the free coinage fight will be renewed at the opening of the regular hesnion. The free coinage men hold that the repeal of the silver purobitiui law has not restored com mercial prosperity , that the position of the silver men in urgiug free coin age at the late session has been vindi cated and that now the Democrat! party in congress should devote itself to redeeming the remaining pledges of the last Democratic national con-I ventio i on the subject of silver and financial legislation. With thrs object in view. Chairman It, and of the committee on coinage, weight and measures is preparing a bill, which he. as the leader of the free coinage men, will introduce at j the opening of the session. It is fur ther declared by him to be his inten tion to afford no. loophole of escape for those Democratic congressmen t who have talked for free coinage to their constituents at home, but voted against it ou plausible pretexts, ben the matter camo uj for consideration j , in the house. He holds that there is . a clear majority for free coinage in the house, if the private declaration of the member to him during the ex tra session are to be relied upon, und he urposes now to bring these gen tlemen to the crucial test. The measure which Mr. Bland will introduce is substantially a re-enact-mentof the law of January IS, HU7. It is the belief of the silver men that this will command greater strength and afford icss opportunity for evas ion than any other measure which couiil possibly be presented. The act of 1837 wan simple and brief. It pro- i viueu ior stiver aouars or ii. gram and declared that "the dollars, hull dollars, quarter dollars, dimes and half dimes slia 1 be legal tenders ac cording to their nominal value for any sum, whatever." In regard to hia position and the plans of the silver men, Mr. JSland aid: "I do not see that the repeat of the Sherman law has changed the situation for the better indeed it ap pears to have changed it for the worse. The truth is and the people now thoroughly realize it the silver purchase law has had nothing to do with the hard times, I he hard times eame on and they are with us and we have simply got to go through a pro cess of liquidation before good times can come again nmj that was neces sary whether we repealed the Sher man law or not This ranie, like nil other panics, finally reached a point where the peonle got afraid of the banks and afraid of each other and there has got to be a general liquidation and blotting out and beginning anew. The repeal of the Sherman law will only tend to make liquidations harder for the debtor class of people, because) it con tract the currency and leaves the business interests of the country with out a su Melon t volume of money to supply a growing population and de veUpraent of industries. It was thought that European capital would be invested here more readily by the repeal of the silver purchase act than by letting it stand. Uut it seems that even in that they have been greatly disappointed. There seems to be now less cnnlidence in Europe in our finan cial conditions than before. They are sending nt money here and con tinue to draw "away ours. If the gold basis which we have here now tends to contract currency, it is mak ing the times harder everywhere The eontractiou of the currency and a go d basis will tend to make a sharp de mand for gold in .Europe as well as here and will injure our pro ducers by causing lower prices for everything we send to Europe. This also makes lower priees here, and hence since tho passage of the repeal act, " heat an c6tton have gone down in the market Inntend c going up. If we can reduce the tariff very largely o as to make trade easier and freer, the exchange of our commodities abroad will tend somewhat to relieve the fanning interests of this country. Hence 1 think we should immediately impose a lurf-e income tax and great ly reduce the duties on imports. "We expect to undertake to pass a free coinage . bill before eongress ad journs," continued Chairman Bland, decisively. "What success we will have is very uncertain My position is that we should repeal now all of the She man laws on silver and have the law of lst7 re-enacted an 1 thus put liver back to where it was before he put his hand on it .since we have repealed on of his laws, let us repeal all of the ii. I think that majority of the committee on coinage, weight aud measures will favor such a bill I am preparing. I think the lute election will fcihiuilate som of them to a belief of the wisdom of such a policy. The last election seemed to be a general "want of eouftdemV lu the lfi;vrllti party.

The People' Party the Only On Which Caa Urally Carry It Oat. The true inwardness of this "reform" administration is fast developing. Mr. Cleveland has announced a policy which amounts to the formal abandonment of all the civil service reform pledges he ever made. According to Good Govern ment, the organ of the civil service re formers, he will hereafter wash his bands of all responsibility for any bat a few great appointments, leaying all the rest absolutely to the discretion of the heads of departments. This announce ment, which 'u borne ont by the list of acandalons appointment already made, is entirely in keeping with Jotslah Quin cy's abject confession at the Massachu setts Reform clnb dinner that the ad ministration had found it impracticable to carry oat the reform theory and de- j cided to give it np. It certainly begins to look aa if Mr. Cleveland's second election to the presi dency were going to prove disastrous to his personal reputation, but so far as the country is concerned, it is no doubt on the whole a good thing tbat the Demo cratic administration has dnpped tho mantle of hypocrisy on this subject of civil service reform. While the Repub licans are not likely to be quite so frank about it, the record of Harrison's admin istration onght to be as conclnsive as a confession that Republican platform professions mean no more than those of the Democrats. Both the old parties have now become utterly discredited with the people on this issue, and their platform writers might as well save themselves the trouble of composing anymore lies on the sub ject. Meanwhile the popular indigna tion with the spoils fystetn for and by which the old parties stand grows year by year more intense, and the demand for a pure civil service which shall take and keep the offices "out of politics" be comes more resolute and determined. Are the people to be beaten by the poli ticians in this plain issue between them? If not, to what agency shall they turn, seeing that both the old parties mock I them? Must they not turn to the new ' party? We believe that the present situ ation of the civil service reform move ment offers a great opportunity to the People's PurtyT and one which they would be most unwise as well as unpa triotic not to make the most of. The Omaha platform contains a pro viso that railroad employees under gov ernment ownership should be brought under the classified civil service, and this demand is an implied proviso in all propositions for the extension of public control over public services. Our party, on account of the prominence in is pro gramme of government management pro positions, is necessarily pledged to the most rigid doctrine of a pure civil serv ice absolutely removed from politics, and in making that plank a prominent and leading feature of our platform we should strictly carry out the logic of our principles. The old parties are too completely in the hands of the spoilsmen to be able, even if their leaders wished, to carry out a thorough civil service reform, and it was always folly to expect anything from them; but the People's Party is not under bonds to the politicians or office seekers. It alone is in a position honestly to promise to take the offices out of politics and to keep that pledge when it comes to power, There is no element from which a reform party like ours could expect any help that would be alienated by a radical reform position on this question, while it would attract to us a multitude of the best people in the country and complete the moral prestige of our cause. The logic of events, we are hopeful, will so confirm this reasoning that we shall see prominent in the next national plat form of the People's Party a plank de claring that "all nonelective public of ficials, excepting a limited number of heads of departments, should be appoint ed and promoted for merit only and hold office during good behavior. "New Nation. Pennoyer'a Proclamation. Governor Pennoyer of Oregon has be fore shown himself a man of courage and independence, and his Thanksgiving proclamation, free from the meaningless platitudes usually going to make up such documents, and containing a plain Btatemeut of the actual condition of the people of his state, is worthy of its pa-! triotic, Christian author. Here is the proclamation: I do hereby appoint the fourth Thursday of the preent month as a day of Thankatfivlnn to Almighty Uod for the bletwlngs lie lias be stowed upon this commonwealth during the present year.

Paints which peel or scale have to be removed by scraping or burning before satisfactory repainting can be done. When buying it is important to obtain Strictly Pure White Lead properly made. Time has proven that white lead made by the "Old Dutch " process of slow corrosion possesses qualities that cannot be obtained by any other method of manufacture. This process consumes four to six months time, and produces the brands that nave given White Lead its character as the standard paint.
