FREEHAND, IA., JULY 20, 1890.
Silver Issue in the Coal Region.
Whatever else may be said of Matt Quay, it
cannot be denied that his perspective powers
ire less than extraordinary. He has a pe
culiar knack of learning the sentiments of
the people ill any certain locality, and when
lie says they are going to do something which
the average man thinks they will not do, it
nia\ be taken for granted that Matt knows
more about the mutter than the said average
man. A short time ago Quay was reported to
have declared that the counties of Luzerne,
Lackawanna and Schuylkill wore hotbeds of
sih * rism, and would be carried for free silver
;f that should be the direct issue at the coming
election. Asa prophet tho senator was ridi
culed by the Republicans of those counties,
and one newspaper in Luzerne invited him to
come here and learn the true state of affairs.
That was a month ago. Since then things
huvc changed wonderfully. That which
Quay's perspective powers saw underneath
then lias now appeared above the horizon unci
is in plain \ lew of every citizen who looks at
the matter with open eyes. Luzerne, Lacka
wanna and Schuylkill are today hotbeds of
sil\crista, and a talk with a dozen or two or
any number id' the common people, irrespec
tive of their past political affiliations, will
prove to the unbiased seeker of information
that all of these counties can be carried for
free silver il that shall remain the direct issue
during the campaign.
'ld come nearer home, down to our own
borough, we Und the truth of the above. The
sentiment in Freeland may, with all due re
gard to justice, be accepted as a fair illustra
tion of what prevails in the anthracite region.
There is no reason why it should be otherwise.
Granting, then, that it is safe to judge the sen- !
tiinent oi the throe counties by what is found
existing here, every man who listens to the
public and private discussions that are held
laily upon tho subject of flnanoowHl readily
lekiiowledge the wisdom and truthfulness of '
Matt Quay's prophecy. i
In Freeland we llnd that the lines of De
mocracy present a solid, unbroken front. If
there are any desertions or bolts the TRIBUNE '
5a- t ailed to learn of them, and it has search- '
ed diligently. The ranks of the party, to all <
appearances, contain every man who lias
hitherto prolessed to be a Democrat. It is
t hen lore conclusive that silver and the can- '
■ iidates who represent it will poll the votes of 1
all of those. So much for the local Deiuoc- 1
racy. (
On the other hand we find that the Republi
can column in Freeland litis wavered and
• rokeii. There is no immense revolt against
the gold standard, it is true, because the com
munity has not enough voters to Institute a
movement that could rise to the dignity of a
revolt, but there have been desertions and
bolts. There are men who have been life-long
Republicans, who believe in protection
and such other tenets as have been necessary
t" constitute a citizen an actual member of
that party, men who believe today in all that
Republicanism stands for, except its position
on silver, and to their way of thinking the
party's doctrine and platform in relation to
that one great issue now before the people is
so inimical to the nation's prosperity that they
feel themselves bound, in spite of their uttuch
inent to the party for its defense of a high
tariff, in spite of the past records of thoir
party, that they must, to do their duty as
good citizens of this republic, act and work
lor the success of the Democratic side of the
ilnancial question, as it is represented by
Bryan and the Chicago platform.
Such is the condition of the two parties in
Freeland, and such, it may with safety be pre
-niiied, is their condition throughout these
three counties, as was tersely expressed by
Quay long before this fact was apparent to
the people of the counties named. Conditions
amy change before election day, but that is
not probable, because the issue is stated so
plainly on both sides that it is not likely that
minor questions can attain sufficient promi
nence to turn back those Republicans who
have declared their principles to be above
theii party. With silver candidates for con
gress, men whom the new acquisitions to the
Democratic party can implicitly trust and pin
their faith to, the twelfth, thirteenth and
fourteenth congressional districts can be
••wept by the Democrats and friends of silver
next November by the largest majorities
i hat have ever been recorded in Laukuwnunn,
Luzerne and Schuylkill counties. Prompt
at ion and proper candidates are all that Is
now required of the party. The intelligent
and independent voters can be depended upon
to do the rest.
Bernard ( Gallagher, of Colorado, has our
thanks for copies of the Denver News. Ten
minutes reading of the News will convince
the most rabid gold man that tho silver people
know exactly what they want und that they
intend to get it. The News is unquestionably
the most influential newspaper between St.
Louis and Sail Francisco. It was heretofore
independent, with Republican proclivities,
•but has come out squarely for Bryan and
Democracy, and its example has been follow
ed by every prominent Republican and Inde
pendent journal In Colorado and neighboring
dates. Eastern duilics do not tell their rend
er- of these bolts from Republicanism, never
theless they exist, and the vote next Novem
ber will demonstrate that the Republican
defection in the West is ten-fold greater and
has a more important bearing upon the elec
tion than the Democratic bolt iu the East.
The Wilkesbarre JVaeehtcr, a paper scarcely
ever before heard of, is given a place in the
published list of alleged Democratic news
papers which have bolted the ticket. As its
presence iu the party was never perceptibly
felt, its change does not signify that Democ
racy lias sustained an irreparable loss. As
an offset, however, we welcome to the ranks
of the silver advocates that staunch Republi
can Jpuruul, the Wilkesbarre Telephone, which
possesses influence and the ability to defend
any etitiso it espouses. Editors Sanders and
l.iuskill have taken a manly stand iu defense
of the principles they believe In, and their
action in keeping the Teh phone above the low
plane of party organism Is a credit to their
high regard of newspaper ethics.
The legislative district convention at liazle
ton today should adopt a platform which will
be iii harmony with that, of the national con
vent ion. Free silver cun carry the old fourth. 1
BRYAN'S SILVER SPEECH.
Continued from First Page,
tho morning and toils all day, begins in
tho spring and toils all summer, and by
the application of brain and muscle to
the natural resources of this country
creates wealth, is as much a business
man as the man who goes upon the
board of trade and bets upon the price
of grain. The miners who go a thou
sand feet into tho earth or climb 2,000
feet upon the cliffs and bring fortli from
their hiding places the precious metals
to be poured in tho channels of trade
are as much business men as the few
financial magnates who in a back room
corner tho money of the world.
We come to speak for this broader
class of business men. Ah, my friends,
we say not one word against those who
livo upon the Atlantic coast; but those
hardy pioneers who braved all tho dan
gers of the wilderness, who have made
the desert to blossom as the rose—those
pioneers away out there, rearing their
children near to nature's heart, whore
they can mingle their voices with the
voices of the birds; out there where
they havo erected schoolhouses for the
education of their young, and churches
where they praise their Creator, and
cemeteries wiiere sleep the ashes of their
dead, arc as deserving of the considera
tion of this party as any people in this
country.
It is for these that we speak. We do
not come as aggressors. Our war is not
a war of conquest. Wc are lighting in
tlie defense of our homes, our families
and posterity. We have petitioned, and
our petitions have been scorned. We
have entreated, and our entreaties have
been disregarded. Wo have begged and
they have mocked, and our calamity
camc. We beg no longer. We entreat
no more. We petition no more. We
defy them.
The gentleman from Wisconsin has
said lie fears a Robespierre. My friend,
in this land of the.free you need fear no
tyrant who will spring up from among
the people. What we need Is an Andrew
Jackson to stand as Jackson stood
against the encroachments of aggran
dized weal tli.
Thoy tell us that this platform was
made to catch votes. We reply to them
that changing conditions make new is
sues; that the principles upon which
rest Democracy are as everlasting as the
hills, but that they must be applied to
new conditions as they arise. Condi
tions have arisen, and we are attempt
ing to meet those conditions.
They tell us that the income tax
ought not to be brought in here. That
is a new idea. They criticise us for our
criticism of tho supreme court of the
United States. My friends, we have not
criticised; we have simply called atten
tion to what you know. If you want
j criticism, read tho dissenting opinions
!of tho court. That will givo you criti
cisms. They say we passed an unconsti
tutional law. I deny it—the Income tax
was not unconstitutional when it was
passed. It was not unconstitutional i
when it went before the supreme court j
for the first time. It did not become un- j
constitutional until one judge changed
his mind; and wc cannot be expected to
know when a judge will change his
mind.
The fncoino tax is a just law. It sim
ply intends to put the burdens of gov
ernment justly upon the backs of the
pooplo. lam in favor of an income tax.
When I find a man who is not willing to
pay his share of the burden of tho gov-!
eminent which protects him, I find a
man who is unworthy to enjoy the bles
sings of a government like ours.
He says we arc opposing tho national
bank currency. It is true. If you will
read what Thomas Denton said, you will
find that lie said that in searching his
tory he could find but one parallel to
Andrew Jackson. That was Cicero,
who destroyed tho conspiracies of Cati
line and saved Rome, lie did for Rome
what Jackson did when ho destroyed
the bank conspiracy and saved America.
Wo say in our platform that wo be
lieve that the right to coin money and
issuo money is a function of government.
Wo believe it. We believe it is a part
of sovereignty, and can no more, with
safety, be. delegated to private individ
uals than we could afford to delegate to
private individuals the power to make
penal statutes or to levy laws for taxa
tion.
Mr. Jefferson, who was once regarded
as good Democratic authority, seems to
have a different opinion from the gontlo
| man who has addressed us on the part
of the minority. Those who are op
posed to this proposition tell us that the
issue of paper money is a function of
the bank, and that the government
ought to go out of the banking business.
I stand with Jefferson, rather than with
them, and tell them, as lie did, that the
issue of money is a function of the gov
ernment, and that the banks ought to
go out of the government business.
Thoy complain about the plank which
declares against the life tenure in office.
They have tried to strain it to mean
that which it does not mean. What we
oppose in that plank is the life tenure
that is being built up in Washington
which excludes from participation in
the benefits the humbler members of
our society. 1 cannot dwell longer in
my limited time. [Cries of "Goon! Go
on!"]
Let mo. call attention to two or three
great tilings. Tho gentleman from Now
York says that he will propose an
amendment providing that this change
in our laws shall not affect contracts al
ready made. Let me remind him that
there is no intention of affecting those
contracts which, according to the pres
ent laws, art; made payable in gold.
Itut if he means to say that we cannot
change our monetary system without
protecting those who have loaned money
before the change was made, I want to
ask him where, in law or in morals, he
can find authority for not protecting the
debtors when the act of 1873 was
passed, but now insists that we must
protect the creditor.
lie says he also wants to amend this
law and provide that if wo fail to main
tain a parity within a year we will then
suspend the coinage of siver. We reply
that when we advocate a thing which
we believe will be successful we are not
compelled to raise a doubt as to our own
sincerity by trying to show what we
will do if we can. 1 ask him, if he will
apply his logic to us, why he does not
apply it to himself? lie says that he
wants this country to try to secure an
international agreement. Why doesn't
he tell us what he is going to do if they
fail to secure an international agree
ment? There is more reason for him to
do that than for us to fail to maintain
the parity. They have tried for thirty
years—for thirty years—to secure an
international agreement, and those who
are waiting for it most patiently don't
want it at all.
Now, my friends, lot me come to the
great paramount Issue. If they ask us
here why it is that wo say more on the
money question than we say upon the
tariff question, 1 reply that if protection
has slain its thousands, the gold stan
dard has slain its tens of thousands. If
they ask us why we did not embody all
these things in our platform which we
believe, we reply to them that when we
have restored the money of the consti
tution all other necessary reforms will
be possible, and that until that is done
there is no reform that can be accom
plished.
Why is it that within three months
such a change has come over the senti
ment of this country? Three months
ago, when it was confidently assorted
that those who believed in the gold
standard would frame our platform and
nominate our candidate, even the advo
cates of tho gold standard did not think
that we could elect a president, but they
had good reason for the suspicion, be
cause there is scarcely a state here to
day asking for the gold standard that is
not within the absolute control of the
Republican party.
Rut note the change. Mr. McKinley
was nominated at St. Louis upon a plat
form that declared for the maintenance
of tho gold standard until it should be
changed into bimetallism by an interna
tional agreement. Mr. McKinley was
the most popular mau among the Re
publicans, and everybody three months
ago in the Republican party prophesied
his election.
llow is it today? Why, that man who
used to boast that he looked llko Na
poleon—that man shudders today when
ho thinks that lie was nominated on the
anniversary of tho battle of Waterloo.
Not only that, but as he listens ho can
hear with ever increasing distinctness
the sound of the waves as they beat
upon the lonely shores of St. Helena.
Why this change? Ah, my friends, is
not tho change evident to any one who
will look at tiie matter? It is no private
character, however pure, no personal
popularity, however great, that can pro
tect from the avenging wrath of an in
dignant people the man who will either
declare that he is in favor of fastening
the gold standard upon this people or
who is willing to surrender the right of
self government and (dace the legisla
tive control in the hands of foreign po
tentates and powers.
We go forth confident that we shall
win. Why? liecauso upon tho para
mount issuo in this campaign there is
not a spot of ground upon which tho
enemy will dare to challenge battle.
Why, if they tell us that the gold stand
ard is a good thing, wo point to their
platform and tell them that their plat
form pledges the party to get rid of a
gold standard and substitute bimetal
lism.
If the gold standard is a good tiling,
why try to get rid of it? I might call
attention to the fact that some of the
people who are in this convention today
and who tell you that we ought to de
clare 111 favor of international bimetal
lism and thereby declare that a gold
standard is wrong and that the principle
of bimetallism Is better—these very peo
ple four miintlis ago were open and
avowed advocates of tho gold standard
and tolling us that wo could not legis
late two metals together even with all
tho world.
I want to suggest this truth—that if
the gold standard is a good thing we
ought to declare 111 favor of Its retention
and not in favor of abandoning it; and
if the geld standard Is a bad tiling, why
should we wait until some other nations
are willing to help us lot go? Here is
tho line of battle. We care not upon
which issue they force the fight. We
are prepared to meet tliein on either Is
sue or on both. If they tell us that tho
gold standard Is tho standard of civili
zation, we reply to tlioiu that this, the
most enlightened of all tho nations of
the earth, has never declared for a gold
standard, and both the parties this year
are declaring against it. If the gold
standard is the standard of civilization,
why, my friends, should we not have It?
So, if they come to meet us 011 that, we
can present the history of our nation.
More than that, we can toll them this
—that they will search the pages of his
tory In vain to linda single instance In
which the common people of any land
have over declared themselves in favor
of a gold standard. They can lind
where the holders of fixed investments
have. Mr. Carlisle said in lS7Hthat this
was a struggle between the idle holders
of idle capital and the struggling masses
who produce the wealth and pay the
taxes of the country; and, my friends, it
is simply a (juestion that wo shull decide
upon which side shall tho Democratic
party light—upon the side of the idh
holders of idle capital or upon the side
of the struggling masses? That is tin
question that tho party must answei
lirst, and then it. must be answered by
each individual hereafter.
Tho sympathies of the Democratic
party, as described by the platform, arc
on the side of the struggling masses,
who have ever been the foundation of
the Democratic party. There are two
ideas of government. There are those
who believe that if you just legislate
to make the well-to-do prosperous
their prosperity will leak through on
those below. Tho Democratic idea has
been that if you legislate to make the
masses prosperous their prosperity will
Hnd its way up and through every class
and rest upon it.
You come to us and tell us that the
great cities are in favor of the gold
standard. I tell you the great cities
rest upon these broad and fertile prai
ries. Durn down your cities and leave
our farms, and your cities will spring
up again as if by magic; but destroy our
farms, and the grass will grow in the
streets of every city in this country.
My friends, we shall declare that this
nation is able to legislate for its own
people on every question without wait
ing for the aid or consent of another
nation on earth. Upon that issue we
expect to carry every single state in this
Union.
1 shall not slander the Talr state of
Massachusetts nor the state of New
York by saying that when its citizens
arc confronted with the proposition, '"is
this nation able to attend to its own
business?"—l will not slander either
one by saying that the people of those
states will declare our helpless hnpo
tency as a nation to attend to our own
business.
It is the. issue of 1770 over again. Our
ancestors, when but 3,000,000, had the
courage to declare their political inde
pendence of every nation upon earth.
Shall we, their descendants, when v\c
have grown to 70,000,000, declare that
we are less Independent than our fore
fathers? No, my friends, it will never
be the judgment of this people.
Therefore, we care not upon what
lines the! battle Is fought. If they say
bimetallism Is good, but we cannot have
it till some nation helps us, we reply
that, instead of having a gold standard
because England has, wo shall restore
bimetallism and then lot England have
bimetallism because the United States
has.
If they dare to como out in tho
open and defend tho gold standard as a
good thing, we shall light thow to the
uttermost, having behind us tho pro
ducing masses of this nation and the
world.
Having behind us the commercial
interests and the labeling interests,
and all tho tolling masses, wo shall an
swer their demands for a gold standard
by saying to them: You shall not press
down upon the brow of labor this crown
of thorns. You shall not crucify man
kind upon a cross of gold.
Tile Fattier Seeks Justice.
From tiie Wilkosbarro Leader.
Fled Toby, Jr., was before Alderman
Donahue on complaint of Fred Toby,
Sr., his father. The charge was failure
to contribute to his support. Mr. Toby
is to all appearance a good old man, but
now, from advancing years, unable to
work. In January he had his three
sons —Will, lioorgo and Fred—make an
agreement to support him. Fred did
not carry out his part in the agreement,
lie got married and to make it more un

of tho country than nil other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to bo incurable.
1* or a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescrib
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to bo a constitutional
disease and theroforo requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrli Cure,
