New York, Sept. 1.—Senator Till- “en was the star attraction last aight at a barbecue at Ridgewood Park, Brooklyn, in which the Demo- rate of that city participated to the xumber of 3,000. The Senator had nis pitchfork with him, and he used 4 continuously for two hours. His -a@dress caught the crowd. The senator said: “Why can’t you get along in this istate without a boss? Why, it’s be- -ause you are euch infernal foole ¢hat you can’t manage yourselves First you have a Democratic boss, and now you've got Boss Platt! ou ve got just the sort of a govern- eaent that you give yourselves, and yoa don’t deserve any other.” “You needn’t think that New Work, Pennsylvania and New Jersey vare the Union! They ere not—not wot by a continent! I don’t know what you fellows are doing up bere, and I don’t care; but I love the 550,- 000 who stood by the principles of ‘William J. Bryan in your State after having been betrayed and stabbed u the back by their leaders. “There are only 4,000 millionaires a this country! Think of it! Mil- ‘ionmres by the thousand and pau- ywors by the million! These million- «ives are preparing now for the man «on the white horse, who will keep you down at the point of the bay- onet! “They are preparing to do it with their government; the trusted State Groverments are all prepared at this soment to send troops into the coal mines and ehoot down the working- men like dogs becaure they refuse to -work!” ‘How ‘bout Klondike?” queried a « man in the crowd. «‘Well,” the Senator answered, “if ‘you are waiting for prosperity to «ome from Klondike, you'd better atart up that way and meet it And 4ake a stove with you when you go.” *it Has Come—to Some. ~The Clinton (Ia) Advertiser has 4een investigating the return of yrosperity to find out who got it, and the following are some of the interviews it published on the sub- soect: * Havemeyer—Never knew the pros- spects of business to be better. The auger trusts cleaned up a few mil- loons out.of the last deal they had sen-eugar, and the Dingley teriff will enable it to still further increase its profits. Business never before look- ed so bright. Morgan—We made a good thiog out of the Cleveland bond deal, but ¢he recent increase in the selling price of bonds has enabled us to still further add to our profits. This fzas been due to the fact that Presi- dent McKinley has determined to atand by the gold standard, as evi- Senced by his request for the ap- @ointment of a currency commis- sion. Clews—Operators on Wall street wacver cleared greater profits than they have during the last two or three months. GLumber Baron—The add tional uties placed on lumber has added scillions of dollars to tha value of ke stumpage we own. Prospects <for business never looked brighter <Steel Rail Maker—The fact that ‘we ere enabled to get our help for dess wages than we paid last year shows that there is a becom in the iron business. cal Operator—We were begin- ning to enjoy a fairly prosperous eeason, as we had made arrange- ements to secure our labor for a much jess cost than ever before, but the ‘feo! miners did not know when they were well off, and are out on astrike. inthe meantime the ccal we have sn hand is bringing a much better price, se that we are doing fairly well. As soon as the miners are erought to terms you will see pros- perity return in a great tidal wave. Federal Officeholder—I never saw Simes more prosperous than they areat present. After being out of office and compelled to earn my liv- tng for four long years, it seems good to get back into a good warm Serth again. The Conspiracy Against Silver.

But no euch alternative will be presented. A victory for independent bimetal liam is near at hand. It will with it no influx of silver frcm other countries.

There is no silver bullion on sale in the entire Eastern hemisphere With free silver coinage, the only addition made ta our stock of money would only be the addition neces- sary to meet the increase in the pop ulation and business of the country. From 1878 to 1893, a period of fif teen years, there was added in s lver to our volume of money in round numbers six hundred millions of dol lara, an increase of foriy millions a year, and we have the testimony of the Hon. Thomas Brackett Reed, given during the discussions of the last campaign, that never was the country jn a condition of greater or more solid prosperity than during those fifteen years. President Ben jamin Harrison, in his message of December, 1891, testified that the upward tendency of trade with which the country was then being blessed, was due to the increased purcbases of silver under the Sher maa act (4,009,000 of ounces every month), and not to the McKinley tariff law. These are fects, and facts | are stubborn things. To restore the | good times so glowingly described by Reed and Harrison, we must re | corrapt legis): | laws of trade. | tion be hited er too far. To the gold monomet- | Times. store the causes which, according t2| Mr Harrison, produces them. While forty millions a year in silver money was being issued from our mints, did anybody ever hear about any/ trouble in maintaining the parity between the coins of the two metals? There is no interpational money and never was. Every nation makes its own coins. No other naticn can fix the value of their coins for them. The laws of trade, we are often told, can not be changed by legislation. It is false. Silver bullion was werih jits weight in coin, because it was! | convertible iuto coia, during ail cur/ | history as a nation up to 1873.
