HOW LONG WILL WE SUBMIT? We will suppose that England don’t make steel rails, but is compelled to have them. And we make them and India makes them, and the freight is equa] from here to England and from India to England. We use gold and silver. India uses only silver. We will say both use dollars. Our price is $20 for steel rails, India’s price is $20. Now we refuse tocoin the metal into dollars that we use as $20 and sell it to England for $10 in gold. England then has silver to buy the steel rails of India, $20. Now India has sold the rails and has the $20. We have got in return $10 in gold, which is no better to us then ten silver dollars. How could our rolling mills com- pete with such an arrangement? It would require nearly 100 per cent tariff to keep England from selling us rails bought with our own money metal from India. Our farmers have to meet just such competition. Our manufacturers in muny lines are meeting competition worse from this cause than from the cause of tariff, and yet the laborer is made to believe that it is all caused by the tarifi. We don’t only lose the trade, but furnish England the money and metal at half price to buy their wheat and cotton of silver using countries. How long will the American citizen} farmer, manufacturer and merchant be blind to this condition? It is all broughtabout by our con- gress granting the petitions of the great money loaning power, for no one else ever sent in such a petition. Where it is to the advantage of one great money loaner for his country and*the woild, it is a disadvantage to not less than 5,000 others, and yet that 5,000 have 5,000 votes to the other fellow’s one. American freedmen. are you going to let that one vote count for more vhan your 5,000 votes? Wake up, freedmen, and take your country and your congress from that money loan- ing power. Now is your opportunity. If you let the gold trust out-vote you this time the opportunity may be lost forever. MEASURE OF VALUE. Silver bullion at 67 cents an ounce like weight would have purchased in 1872, when silver was $1.29 per ounce; when, indeed, it sold for a premium over that price in gold. In India there has been no change in the standard. The worker in India works for the same number of rupees per month that he did in 1872, and with his wages buys just as much as he did then. In 1872 England bought American silver bullion at $1.32 per ounce, and with 1t hought India wheat and cotton. Now she buys American silver bullion at 67 cents, ships it to Bombay and has it coined free and with the coin buys twice as much for every ounce of silver as she did then. The product so purchased is brought to England and the price of it establishes the prices on this side of the Atlantic. The same is done in Egypt, for, in fact. Egypt is as much a colony of Great Britain as India is. In the same way in Bombay, England coins a 372 grain dollar for China. Now we would be glad if the gold press of the East would explain how long in its estimation it will be before Great Britian will give up this ad- vantage? She keeps herself on a gold basis. She keeps such colonies as she can on a Silver basis; she buys her goods with American silver depreciat- ed in price 50 percent; she collects her interest and dividends in gold which is appreciated 100 per cent; she ob- tains food for her labofors at 50 per cent below the normal price, textiles ,and other stock for her factories at the same rate; tho world is her debt- or and has nothing to pay in except raw products, which she obtains at half price, and still from President Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle down to the meanest subsidized gold bug sheet in the Union, there is nothing but a clamor for ‘sound money,’’ and mournful expressions over the dishonest men of the West who favor “soft” money. Will some of these wise asses rise up and explain in some reasonable way why the workers and producers of the East do not need silver money more than do the silver and gold miners of the West. TOWNE IN ILLINOIS. An Aurora, Ill., dispatch to the Chicago Record says: ‘The Demo- cratic campaign was opened in Aurora this evening by Congressman Charles A. Towne of Miunesota, who addressed one of the largest political meetings ever assembled here. Mr. ‘Towne refused a renomination for congress by the Republican party to identify himself with the free silver cause, and the meeting he addressed tonight was under the auspices of the Aurora’ Bimetallic League. Mr. ‘Towne was escorted from his hotel to the opera house by the band and flam* beau club, and with difficulty found his way into the building, so great was the concourse of people gathered in and about the place. He spoke for over two hours, his wonderful orator- ical abilities meeting continuous ap- plause.” Ir’s a great roar that the gold bug papers are making over the Republi- can gain in the Vermont election. but it should be remembered that the Vermont Democrats declared for .| the single gold standard and endorsed Cleveland’s administration, and thus threw many of their forces into the hands of the enemy. that is no criterion whatever of the general campaign, a fact which the gold bugs will realize to their sorrow when the returns come in from states where free coinage of silver is an issue with the voters. Ir a resolution had been adopted by the Indianapolis convention re- questing all the tax-shirkers to with- draw and all the corporation attorneys to retire, it is doubtful if there would have have been enough delegates left to move an adjournment.—Duluth Herald. id As was expected, Hon. Chas. A. Towne was nominated at the Demo- cratic congressional convention at St. Cloud Jast Thursday to succeed him- selfas congressman from the Sixth district. The nomination was made by acclamation and unanimous,amidst the greatest enthusiasm, ‘The plat- will buy just as much of the products | form adopted endorses the Chicago of the farm as the coined dollars of -latYorm and nominees and the state Such a vote as, fusion ticket; declares its full sym- pathy with the attitude of Chas. A. ‘Towne upon the financial issue; favors the Anderson bill for the taxation of unused railroad lands, and demands that iron mines be taxed as other lands, and denounces the attempts to coerce those in their service in the use of the franchise.—Aitkin Age. To annul the use of either of the two metals as money is to abridge the quantity of the circulating medium and is liable to all the objections which arise from a comparison of the benefits of a full, with the evils of a scant circulation.—Alexander Hamil- ton. Change of N. P. Depot in Minneapolis.& On and after September 1, all North- ern Passenger trains will arrive at and depart from the C., M. & St. P. railway passenger station, Washing- ton and Fourth avenues south, Min- neapolis. Passengers alight from trains on a leval with the street and will not have steps to climb ip order to get out of depot. This change will jand the passengers nearer the busi- ness part of the city. Street carlines are immediately in front of the depot entrance, thus giving quick and easy access to any part of the city. When you want to take the Northern:Pacific to or from Minneapolis, remember the change of depots. DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AND PRIMARIES FOR Itasca County, Minn.
