HO. iv—inflation NONSENSK.
Of all the absurdities exhibited by
the opponents of free silver coinage,
their iuflation cry is the most ridicu-
lous. Inflation applies to representa-
tive money—never to real money, to
bank notes, treasury notes, warrants,
script and other forms of paper curren-
cy, which may be redeemable in coin,
and may not be—never to gold or sil
ver.
The world's record of these two met-
als goes back to the time of Abraham;
but never in any country, or any age,
was silver inflation heard of, except in
the United States, and about twenty
years ago. |
Inflation means an excess of paper
promises to pay money. It does not
and cannot moan an excess of real
money, for the simple reason that such
thing cannot be. History records
many strange and interesting facts
about nations, peoples and countries,
but it does not mention a single case
of si nation or a country that suffered
from an excessive supply of either gold
or silver money. For ages and ages
peoples and nations have labored to
increase their stock of metal money,
silver as well as gold, without ever
suspecting that they might overdo the
business. It was reserved for certain
"financiers" in the United States of
America in the nineteenth century of
the Christian era to make the amaz-
ing discovery. It is mentioned as one
of the tokens of prosperity and splen-
dor of Solomon's reign over Israel that
"the King made silver in Jerusalem
as stones"—without exposing himself
to the charge of being an inflationist.
There never was too much silver
money in any country, nor in the pock-
etsof any people -and there never will
be. For ages past it has been consid-
ered that every addition to the stock
of silver money in a country, no mat-
the larger the better
spread prevalance ol popular wnumcui —— a DT
favorable to free silver coinage among p-* FS /\ I~V Li<
the people of all parties in the west and i — . t
south. It shows that both great par
ties will be confronted with a demand
for the indorsement of the free and
equal coinage, of gold and silver at a
ratio of 10 to 1, which cannot be brushed
aside or satisfied with a straddle.

block,
When the Choctaw is completed to
Ft. Smith, Ark.. El Reno will be the
terminus of an almost direct line east
to New York City. El Reno, connect
edwith the North by the Great Rock
Island road, the Gulf on the south by
the same line, and the nation's metropo-
lis in the east by the Choctaw, will be
the most prominent railroad point in
Oklahoma and the commercial center
of the Southwest. The Rock Island
connects us in a direct line with the
Great Lakes on the north and deep
water on the south. When the Choc
taw reaches Ft. Smith it will there
connect us with a direct line to the
Atlantic coast. Not only that, but it
will bring ub cheaper fuel and lumber,
etc., besides making this the distribu-
ting point of all these and many more
articles of commerce, for an immense
scope of country to the south and west,
not yet penetrated by the railroads.
With all these advantages and more,
El Reno cannot help becoming not only
the metropolis of the future state of Ok
lahoma, but one of the most prominent
trade centers of the Great Southwest.

In order to carry on their silly fight
against the Salvation army, the Okla
homa City authorities, some weeks ago
( an ordinance prohibiting the
beating of drums on the streets. After
the passage of the ordinance the bass
drum artists of the army were arrested
when they appeared on the streets play-
ing their favorite instrument. Several
drums were confiscated and individuals
jailed in this way. for, when a law is
made by the city parents of Oklahoma
Town, it of course is always (?) rigidly-
enforced. But the singular feature of
the ordinance was that apparently it
applied to no one but the Salvation
army. We are satisfied of this because
when Mr. Bryan, the great free silver
advocate arrived in Oklahoma City on
the 25th ult., he was met at the train
by two drums and a fife, Oklaho-
ma City not being able to support a
full liwul of music. These two drum-
mers Itnyed up and down the principal
thoroughfare for an hour or two with-
out being molested and the "drum or-
dinance" was in effect at that time,
too. But when the poor, little, harm-
less Salvation army conies out, they
are at once jugged for making a distur
bance.
After Oklahoma City has paid dam-
ages, (and we hope they will be com
IM'lled to pay a smart sum) for the false
imprisonment of young ladies for the
heinous criuie of beating a bass drum,
they will discover that they may regu
late but cannot prohibit the playing of
any instrument 011 the highways.
When the officials of Oklahoma Town
desire to gain an enviable reputation
by the rigid enforcement of law and
suppression of crime, they can find
plenty of material to work 011 without
prosecuting theSalvation army.
The man who neglects to advertise,
on the theory that it is not worth while

cept for those who make it so by stub-
born adherance to ideas that belong to
the stage-coach era.
The fiatists continue to assert that
Mr Carlisle was for free silver when he
was of Mr. Bry an's age. This of course
is not true, yet assuming that it is cor

he is as old ami wise as Mr. C anisic
now is. Dallas News.
Men as old as Mr. Carlisle is now have

Twelve out of fourteen governors of
western and southern states have de-
clared themselves unequivocally in fa
vor of the independent free coinage of
silver by the United States: all agree
that n majority of the democrats of
their states favor the free coinage o*
silver: most of them testify that the n
publicans are divided ai out equally and
a few assert the fact that a majority of
the republicans of their states favor
silver free coinage.
TheBe fourteen governors have all
been elected within three, most of them
within two and some of them w ithin
one year. As men versed in politics
elected by the peeple of their resis-
tive states to the highest executive offi-
ce* their testimony as to the Benti
ments of the people is of the highest
character. They know the opinions of
the people on a public question of par
amount interest and importance.
