THE OFFICIAL CITY PAPER.
With a treasury deficiency it seems
a little strange to us that Carlisle
should employ a company of armed
men to guard the empty vaults. Is
it possible that he fears the com-
monwealers might steal (lie defici-
ency?
Congressman Wilson has returned
to Congress and is busily engaged
trying to identify his tariff bill. It
has become so disfigured during his
absence that we doubt very much if
there is a single feature left by which
its author can recognizc it.
John Sherman, Dan Voorhees and
a few more of the worthies sent a dis-
patch to the silver convention in ses-
sion in London suggesting (hat the
ratio of coinage be based upon the
present price of the two me'als. As
silver has been so debased this means
a ratio of about 3^ to 1. To say the
least old John is slick. He has not
luigotten all his old tricks yet.
The true object of all good gov-
eminent is to protect the weak from
the strong. Whenever a government
ceases to do this it becomes an en-
gine of oppression, a huge reservoir
of iniquity, and merits destruction.
The government of the United States,
as to-day administered, has for its
object the protection of the strong
against the weak. Such a govern-
ment is a tyranny.
— ~
An eminent writer lias said: "Loy-
alty to party is treason to the nation."
Reader did you ever think of it in
that light? A man who hasno reason
for voting a party ticket, other than
it is the party he has always voted
with, is an assassinator of the liber-
ties of the American people every
time he cast a ballot. Me has not
only ceased to assert to himself the
rights of a free man, but has volun-
tarily gone into bondage to his party
and deserves no better lot than that
of the slave.

Men who for years warned the
people of our vicious money system
were called fiat lunatics and cranks.
When they organized themselves into
a national party they were called
calamityites. When the money-
panic swept over this country last
summer, the republicans laid it all to
Cleveland; and the democrats
charged it all to the vicious laws en-
acted by the republicans; and both
old parties joined and called the
Pops d—n fools, and that do settle
it. "State Guard" Pueblo Colo.
The republicans at there conven-1
tion held in this county endorsed the
national platform—towit: A reso-
lution favoring the free coinage of
silver. It is true the fools in this
country are not all dead: but the at-
titude of the republican party to-
wards silver is so well understood
that nothing but rank suckers will be
deceived by such a resolution. Out
of 124 republican members in the
lower house of Congress 111 voted
against even the coinage ot the seig-
norage and the man who is foolish
enough to think he can get free sil-
ver by voting the republican ticket
has not sense enough to seek shelter
in the times of ? storm.
