The Independent makes no charge i,iin.-.t t tic lionesty of the editors of the Springfield Republican, but it HORHOR OF THE AGKS The thing that has been of most in terest to the world during the last week has been the horrible massacres of the Jews in Kussia. The blackest crimes ever charged against t,,. low. est savages do not equal this. The city of Kischineff is situated in tie most wealthy and fertile part of Rus sia and has l-hi.eun inhabitants, in this city, a so-called Christian city, with telegraphs, railroads and all the modern evidences of civilization, the inhabitants were allowed by the Rus sian government to commit the most horrible outrages that is recorded in all history upon the Jews. The mas sacre of St. Bartholomew pales into insignificance beside it. .Scores were GROCERIES OF THE BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRICES,.,. A 1 I 1 ... . aranolV. 1. u'r 7,.

Thou- cin illation and the prosperity of the . - i j i i f - since the coinage of silver vas resumed, would be, to state frank ly that CruviT Cleveland was wrong and i hi populists and Bryan democrats were right. It does not seem to The Independent that any other eonclu ;:en i .mid be drawn from the facts. Wli.it miii of mind is it that is capa ble el inf. rring from the facts, as the i .lit. .f. of th" Springfield Republican !!: ms.'ives accurately state them, that (Inner Cleveland was right? The dime of silver was stopped. Dis t:e s i ,.r. v, hi re prevailed and con tir, led until the coinage of silver was r-i-iiiinl under the republican admin-i-trau.iii. Added to that was an un- sands, of government troops and hun dreds of police stood Idly by and al lowed this saturnalia to proceed for three days, when the brutal popula. e, satiated with blood and cruelty, ceased. The Russian censorship pre vented the world from hearing th.: news for a month, when some fugi tives escaped from the dominions of the czar and made the facts known. Other informal ion begin to arrive a few flays ago through the mails. i - at the Russian government offi cials wire directly responsible the" is no longer any doubt. The question arises: What can this naiion do t. express its horror of these Russian barbarities? That some sort of ofli- I'iokdl lor and an unpre edenied on- I da! action should be taken bv evcrv jii! uf gold, and to these two addi lions to the volume of money was ;ni.;-i! a lu per cent increase of na ti'.nal hank notes by one act, and a frwwal increase by changing the law in various other way.5. What drover Cleveland stood for was- t.i stop the increase of the vol ume of money. As long as that policy prevailed, tii.. greatest distress that this nation ever suffered continued. V.Vn i he policy was changed and the U'iuine of money was increased at a rate that more than doubled it In uvea years, the distress was relieved ami prosperity took its place. And the editors of the Springfield Re Mbli.an say that Grover Cleveland as right when he stopped the in ' rease of money by stopping the coin-i-e of silver. another article the Republican 'iaims that Cleveland acted the hon 'raWe part when he pursued the "" "t!i' he did because the demo- I 'a;ie pla'form demanded the repeal II ike Sherman act and called it "a "'i-rahle makeshift." That is the n:wst iw-xplieable statement that an lamest man ever made. The repeal "r th" Sherman act was what the ex- silver in,,,, demanded. AVha-t 1 "'' 'an I insisted upon and what "!""w ''id. was to repeal one clause, ,:' 1,1 avini: clause in it, and leave 1 ' r'-' "and. How men of the the editors of the Spring- civilized nation no man with a heart in him will deny. The horror of the civilized world should be made mani fest in a way that the czar and his bu reaucratic officials would feel it. The i zar is at present sending largo armies to southern Russia to protect the Macedonian "Christians" from the Turk. Aiiicng all the horrors com mitted by the "unspeakable Turk.' there is none that equals the atroci ties committed at Kischineff. Th.? favor bestowed by the Russian gov ernment upon these murderers and ravishers. leads to the belief that similar outrages will occur all over Russia wherever there are Jews to murder.

Finan cial writers have of late made many remarks that go to show that Mor gan's reputed wealth is very unsub stantial. Tho solid man is Carnegie. He has a first mortgage on all the real property of the steel trust. These first mortgage bonds that Carnegie holds, if a panic should occur, would take in the whole property. The in terest on them must be paid before stockholders, either preferred or com mon, tci anything. Steel is a very j indestructible thing- Suppohe that tin1 j tremendous output of steel is kept up I for a few yours and the tountry gets I stoiketl up with it until the sales fall Jon".

It is a house built upon the sand and when the financial storm comes, it will dis appear, as thousands more have done in the past. It may be possible to force the people for awhile to pay in terest on stock that represents no real property, but it cannot last forever. GOLD STANDARD IN MEXICO In 1813 the government of Japan sent a secret commission composed .)f three men to Washington to study the money question and listen to the debates in the senate concerning the free coinage of silver. They had ere dentials and letters to the prominent free silver senators and perhaps to some of those on the other sid I hose Japanese gent enit ii were in troduced to the editor of The Iiule- pehdoni by Si nator Siewart w i'h th understanding iltri ih.n mi-cem a a Secret tine and Inat lle v wt re Hurt to gain w hat know ;..!; Two of 1 1). in i i .I.e ft: were their u.i'iitT toi ot her smui v. hai l ivi.. i;I; he lilith t'ii . !

They thought that silver would fall to at least 01 cents an ounce and erhaps lower and that the constant flu dilations in the ratio between it and gold would make un ending difficulties in the trade be tween silver and gold-using countries. They thought that Japan must accept the inevitable and the bent thing for their government to do was to take the bull by .the horns end establish a ratio of 32 to 1, which the govern ment of Japan proceeded to do. One of them, the oldest one, and he who spoke English brokenly, argued that if Japan took that step that in a few years all t he governments of .' e earth, to protect their eastern trade would, in self-interest, he forced to adopt that ra'io, for if silver went he low t'.4 tents an oume the trade of ike pold-usinc countries would be re duced to a mere bagatelle with all Asia.
