There is no law on the statue books
for the redemption of silver dollars in
gold, or for their redemption at all.
They are themselves money of ultimate
redemption, and need no redeemer. The
silver certificates are issued upon de-
posit of silver dollars. Upon their faco
they declare "that there has been de-
posited in the treasury of the United
States one silver dollar (or more), pay-
able to bearer on demand." A person
who can distort that into a gold obliga-
tion should be annolnted a high priest
of the false science of alchemy.
"But,"Bays some goldlte,"while there
Is no law for the redemption of silver
with gold, there in a moral obligation
resting upon* the goverment to do so."
That is equivalent to saying that the
silver dollar standing by itself is a dis-
honest dollar, and can only be kept on
an honest basis by gold redemption.
This assumes the entire case. If we
have two different kinds of dollars, and
one of them becomes, for any reason,
more valuable than the other, the one
of greatest value is always the"honest"
one, while the other Is "dish.mest."
In short, if the gold dollar double in
value—which it has or quadruple, or
Increase a hundred-fold, the creditor
must always have that dollar, and any
other dollar which does not rise In the
same ratio is a "thieving," "swindling"
dollar. That is the foundation of the
entire argument in favor of gold stand-
ard. It is an argument framed alto-
gether in the interest of th6 creditor
classes, and one that was wholly un-
known until the struggle began for the
restoration of silver in the Uulted
States.
The man who believes that the credi-
■ tor must always have the more valu-
| able money, can very profitably con-
I aider the language of Albert Gallatin
| In a letter to Secretary Ingham, written
in 1829. Speaking of the use of the two
metals, Mr. <>allatin says:
The whole amount of the inconven-
ience from the simultaneous use of the
two metals consists in this: Their rela-
tive value being fixed by the law, ir
this changes at market the debtor will
pay with the cheapest of the two met-
als; and, therefore, at a rate less than
the standard agreed at the time of
making the contract, if the change
In the market price is due to
a fall in that of the metal in
which he pays his debt. And it is
obvious, In the first place, that if the
change is due to the rise In the value
of one of the two metals, and that had
been the only legal tender, the choice
given the debtor to pay with either
enables him to do it according to the
standard first agreed on.
It will be observed, first, that Mr.
Gallatin had not been educated in the
school of ethics which teaches that the
creditor must always have the best-
that is, the most valuablo— and, sec-
ondly, he had not mastered that won-
derful philosophy,the cardinal principle
of which is that the value of gold can-
not change. And yet Albert Gallatin
was one of the ablest financiers of his
day.
The claim that the sliver dollar is a
dishonest coin, and that the silver cer-
tificate and Sherman nole* are only
good by virtue of gold i deniptlon. is
an Imputation upon the moral char-
acter of every member of congress
who voted for the creation of such
money, and upon that of ex-President
Harrison who approved the Sherman
bill and made it a law.
But what Is desired at thle time more
especially, is to direct the mind of the
reader to the actual question of the
redemption of silver and silver certifi-
cates with gold. This cannot be done
better than by reproducing a paragraph
from Wrn. E. Curtis' letter in the Chi-
cago Record of April 29. It is as fol-
lows:
of money, paying for property and
liquidating debts. Just as gold does, we
should be much pleased to learn what
that other reason is
And that is the principle upon which
bimetallism works. Everywhere and
at all times within the country using
the two metals, one performs the same
money function as the other. There-
fore. until such bimetallic country gets
its full share of the world's money in
one metal only, some of the other is
bound to remain in circulation, and
parity will be maintained
If this country'® distributive share of
the world's metallic money be fifteen
hundred millions of dollars, and we
have the free coinage of both metals
then until our stock of one amounts to
the full sum of fifteen hundred mil-
lions, some of the other will also re-
main in circulation, and there can be
no substantial difference in value be-
tween them.

Working I'enplfl Should Organize.
Rich men throw away their religious
and political affiliations and combine to
skin the poorer classes. They organize.
They have clubs at which they discuss
how beBt to keep the working people
ignorant and divided. They plan to
have their agents organize one set of
working people against another on
their religious, political or race preju-
dices, and while thus diverted get in
their laws and court decisions and in-
dustrial manipulations. Poor men will
not organize. You hear of various ex-
clusive rich men's clubs, sec their pala-
tial club houses rising on every side by
the skillful hand of poor laborers and
mechanics, but you never hear of a poor
man's club. Not much. They only or-
ganize when the agent in the secret
pay of the rich herds them up. and
harangues them on some subject that in
no wise affects the fat profits which the
agents' masters make out of their toil.
"Labor leaders are too often the secret
agents of fho rich. The men who enter
into contests for such positions are not j
friends of labor. They never advise
their members to read books that will
teach them the wrongs. That would
ruin the.r "leadership." Millionaires
would not pay men to teach the labor-
ers to read up.
Working people, form clubs and read
up on social economics. Three meet-
ings will open your eyes. Appeal tc

Pittsbitro, Pa., May 20.- The free
silver or broad gauge faction in the
Prohibition national convention, after
a long and bitter ttgiit yesterday
afternoon, elccted C. W. Stewart of
Illinois permanent chairman over A.
A. Steven! of Pennsylvania, the gold
standard candidate. Then the con-
vention adjourned for the day, with
the silverites, led by ex-(Jovernor St.
John of Kansas, determined to have
their own way throughout and the
gold men equally bitter.
It was 0:-»0 o'clock before the sec-
ond day's session of the convention
wns called to order. The attendance
at that hour was liglu, as many of
the delegates had been laboring- in
committees until the earlv morninir
hour.
When comparative quiet had been
obtained the Rev. Gideon P. Macklen
of Ohio offered prayer. A resolution
was then presented expressing1 sym-
pathy for the sufferers of the St.
Louis tornado, and it was adopted by
a standing vote.
After the consideration of some
routine matters a report from the
Committee on platform was called for.
Chairman Funk stated that the ' nar-
row''and "broad guage" factions were
unable to agree, and that two reports
would be presented. lie then rsid
the majority cr "narrow gauge" re-
port It contained no financial plank
The minority report, which was
presented by ex-Governor St. John of
Kansas on behalf of the broad gang-
ers, bad the following1 declaration on
the money question:
"That all money should be issued by
the government only and without the
intervention of any banking associa-
tion. It should be based upon the
wealth, stability and integrity of the
nation, and should be a full legal ten-
der for all debts, public and private,
and should be of sufficient volume to
meet the demands of the legitimate
business interests of the country, and
for the purpose of honestly liquidat-
ing all our outstanding, coin obliga-
tions, we demand the free and unlim-
ited coinage of both silver and gold,
at a ratio of 16 to 1, without consult-
ng any other nation."
Sir. St. John moved that the minor-
ity report bo made a part of the ma-
jority report, and that the whole
should be considered section by sec-
tion. A motion to lay the minority re-
port on the table was then inadc, but
defeated by a vote of 402 to :$!<>. This
was a test vote, and was regarded as a
signal victory for the "broad gangers,"
or silver men.
The first seven planks, including the
one favoring woman suffrage, were
then taken up. and as they did not
differ materially in either report, were
adopted. The convention at 12:20
o'clock then took a recess for dinner.
FUNDS IN BAD SHAPE.
Warden Lynch of the Kaimu* Peniten-
tiary Make* a Gravfl Statement.
Topeka, Kan., May 29. —J. B.Lynch,
warden of the penitentiary, who is in
Topeka to-day to confer with the
prison directors and Governor Morrill
and Auditor of State Cole, concerning
the practice of usiug the prison ap-
propriations as a common fund, re-
gardless of the purposes for which
the legislature specifically grant-
ed them, declares that the
practice must be discontinued or a
special session of the Legislature bo
called to grant relief. He says that
some of tlie accounts have already
been overdrawn and out of others not
a cent has been used for the purposes
originally fixed by the Legislature.
If the practice heretofoie in vogue be
not stopped the prison will be out of
money to buy clothing, food and other
necessaries, although there will be
money for purposes for which tho
prison has no immediate use.

CAME WITHOUT WARNING
Hundred* of 1'eopla Caught Cuawares on
the Street*.
St. Louis, Mo., May 28. —The cy-
clone broke at fifteen minutes after 5
i o'clock, coming directly from the
! West, destroying first in the city
I proper, then crossing the Mississippi
to East St. Louis and there, after
raging for half an hour, disappeared
in the direction of Alton.
There was little warning for the
helpless people in the streets, the
thousands on their way home from
work, or the inmates of the great
mercantile establishments of the city
who had not yet left their posts of
duty. Temporary hospitals abound in
every part of the city. The city au-
thorities at midnight were sending
mounted police through the city in an
effort to ascertain, if possible, what
the loss of life and the number of in-
jured really is.
It was at first thought that acores
had been killed at the fair grounds in
i the western part of the city, where
| the roof of the grand stand was blown
off while tho last race was in progress,
but it is now known that the people
at the track saw the storm coming
and rushing out of the grounds took
refuge in the adjaceut fields.
At the time the storm struck the
town and created such havoc the ac-
companying noise was terrifying.
People were picked upon the streets
and dashed to the ground or against
the buildings as though they had been
the merest straws.

tion was having a revival which
dragged its length along until the con-

church-going and providing for tha
poachers, who came from all around
to aasist in the cause. The last preach-
er that came was the Btraw that broke
the back of the dromedary. No one
wanted him, and a meeting of the stew-
ards waa held to consider how he waa
to be provided for. One of them pro-
posed to draw straws for him, which
was not agreed to, but finally the ques-
tion was settled by a proposition to raf-
flle the minister off, and this actually
happened, the steward who made the
