FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 17, 1800. |
Mc Kin ley Against the World. ,
Of all the propositions laid down in i I
Major MeKinley's letter of acceptance i
none was more illogical and incorrect |
than the statement that "If the fro#
and unlimited coinage of silver at the 1
ratio of sixteen ounces of silver to one •
ounce of gold would, as some of its ad- i
vocates assert, make 53 cents in sil- 1
ver worth 100 cents and the silver
dollar equal tho gold dollar, then we I
would have no cheaper money than
now, and it would be no easier to get
It." In making this-statement, Major ,
McKinlcy exhibits more boldness than ;
brains; for by it he places his sole bare j
and unsupported assertion against Un
united opinion of all the writers and '
thinkers on finance in the whole world. '
Not one writer 011 money, whether he
be an advocate of the gold standard or :
of bimetallism, has ever given his sub- j ;
port to the proposition that with an in- , 1
crease in the volume of money "we J ]
would have 110 cheaper money than j <
now, and that it would be 110 easier to j s
get." I
Not only are all bimotallists united in 1
the opinion that an increase in the vol- I <
uine of money makes it cheaper and j i
easier to get, but all of tho gold stand- ! 1
ard writers in the world, except Me- j
Kinley, are unanimously of the same ' 1
opinion. One of the strongest argu- j <
ments of the gold standard writers is
the one that money will be so much '
choapor and tho purchasing power of a ; 1
dollar so much less under free coinage 1 I
that it would ho equivalent to scaling ' ;
down tho debts of the world by nearly ;
one-half.
Yet, hero is their chosen standard
bearer giving the lie to all their argu
ments, and setting up his own bare as
sertion against the united opinion of the
wholo body of his own supporters, as
well as declaring that one of the great
admitted and established axioms of
monetary science is false. The ancients
said "Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad." Major MeKinley's
letter 011 money makes it certain that
lie is mad enough to insuro his political
destruction. The American people
should never trust the management of
their national finances to a man who is
so utterly wild on financial matters as
to solemly declare in defiance of tho in
telligent opinion of the whole thinking
world, that an increase in tho volume of
money "would reduce property values,"
and "make money no cheaper and 110
easier to get than it is now."
In view of his most remarkable letter
of acceptance it is not to be wondered
at that MeKinley's managers do not
deem it wise to allow him to go on the
stump making speeches during this
campaign. Jt would bo risky venture
indeed to allow him to make many
speeches made up of the kind of argu
ments on money which he uses in his
letter of acceptance.
An increase of 3,700 in the Democratic
vote of Maine over that polled in 1804
does not look discouraging. The Repub
licans, however, have increased their
majority from 30.000 to about 50,000,
and there is some questioning as to
where the votes came from. The Demo
crats more than held their own, and it
does look as if the figures returned for
the other side's ticket were slightly
magnified. It appears that Governor
Hastings pardoned those Philadelphia
ballot-box stutters just in time.
TIIO poor of New York city who buy
their coal in hiickotsfull now pay 14
cents a bucket for it, which is at the
rate of gb per ton. The cost of mining
a ton of coal and putting it in cars at
the breaker is less than 81 a ton. There
is something decidedly wrong with the
business economy that pormits such a
difference to exist between cost of pro
duction and selling price at points so
close to each other.

POWDERLY FLOPS.
And What u Flop Was There, My Coun
trymen! Reliold llim!
Washington, I). C., Sept. 11, 1800.
To the Order Wherever Found, Greeting:
Terrencc Vincent Powderly, who for
fourteen years prior to November, 1893,
was the chief officer in the Knights of
Labor, lias been recently quoted in the
press dispatches us stating authoritative
ly that the free coinage of silver Is no
portion of the preamble or creed of the
Knights of Labor.
The influence of anything Mr. Pow
derly may think or say will have small
weight witli those of our members whose |
memories go back a few years; it may,
however, tend to confuse and mislead
some of tho thousands who have joined
the cause more recently, and to those I
principally address myself.
I have claimed now for three years
that Mr. Powderly was a monomaniac
upon the one subject of T. V. Powderly,
however sane ho might be considered
upon matters effecting his personality,
and I cannot at this time refrain from
entering into a short retrospect of the
career of the man whose unexampled
egotism was one of the chief causes that
brought strife and dissension for a time
into our sanctuaries.
The free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver has been one of the main demands of
the Knights of Labor since the Atlanta
session of tho general assembly in 188'j,
it has been reindorsed specifically since
that time in Denver in ISUO, at Toledo in
18U1, at St. Louis in 18U2, and our legis
lative committees have been instructed
to make that, with the land and tran
sportation planks, their chief care.
Mr. Powderly, as chairman of a dele
gation representing this order, attended
j conferences and conventions of - the
Farmers Alliance and the People's party
at Ocala, Omaha, Washington and St.
Louis, where the Knights of Labor wore
: again pledged to the support of the
measure with his activo co-operation
and consent; he is on record in more
than one of his official reports as being
personally a warm adherent of those
doctrines and his present attitude is
simple a discarding of the mask and a
proof of tho claim so frequently made
that during all the years lie held remun
erative office in tho order, lie was simply
a time server without sincerity of mind
or purpose.
In fourteen years ho drew, in actual
cash, over 845,000 from the treasury
of the order, his postage, street and rail
road car-fare, hotel bills, even the gas
hills in his homo in Scran ton were
charged to and paid by the order ho so
long deceived. From the position of a
mediocre machinist he was, through the
advantages obtained by membership in
the order, given opportunity for study,
leisure to obsorvo human nature, and
abundant chance to become a cultured
cosmopolitan with acquired ability to
smooth tho world's rough plaees for
himself, if not for his fellows, and the
return lie now gives to the organization
to which he is so deeply indebted is to
throw his measly weight, with a rem
nant of his old-time egotism, into the
scale against it and make a feeble at
tempt to help the combined corporate
banks and monopolies against whom lie
waged relentless war so long.
Ail he has and knows he owes to the
Knights of Labor; all ho is, lie js himself
responsible for. I have claimed that his
mental poise was lost in 18D3 and every
public act and utterance he has since
perpetrated has but deepened my con
viction; let us in charity all decide that
this view is the proper and correct one
and permit T. V. Powderly to pass
quietly into deserved oblivion attended
only by the contempt of an outraged
community. M. J. Bishop.
General Worthy Foreman, Knights of
Labor.
Silver Does Not Mean Repudiation.
From the Wilkesbnrre Telephone (811. Hop.)
Tho Republicans tell us it is repudia
tion to pay the national debt in silver,
in the faco of the fact that congress
passed a resolution on December 0, 1878,
declaring that "all bonds of tho United
States, issued or authorized to be issued
under the acts of congross, to provide
for the resumption of spccia payments,
etc., are payable, principal and Interest,
at the option of the government of tho
United States, in silver dollars, and such
payment is not in violation of the public
faith, nor in derogation of the rights of
the public creditor."
That was righteous ago. before
Rryan was over heard of. William Mc-
Kinlcy voted for the resolution and so
did Hon. John G. Carlisle, the present
secretary of the the treasury. And yet,
men who demand that the national debt
shall he paid in silver or "coin" are de
nounced as "anarchists," "repudiation
ists"' and "communists,"
If It is a crimo now, it was a crime
then. If it is "repudiation" now, it was
'.'repudiation" then. If it is "anarch
ism" now, it was "anarchism" then.
Tho people arc beginning to understand
this question, and when they fully un
derstand it, as they will boforo the day
of cloction, let tho speculators and tho
plutocrats tako warning. "They have
been weighed in tho balance, and found
wanting." *

BILL'S NUGGET.
BY OWEN IIALL.
[COPYRIGHT, 1890.]
There were only three in our party,
Tom and ine had come to Coolgardie to
gether, being old mates, and then we
come across Bill on the field. lie were a
queer chap a J ways, were Bill. Work?
Well, I won't say as ever I knew a hand
on any diggin's as could beat Hill for
work, tako him all around. Early and
late Hill were there whoever weren't.
He would work eating; he would work
talking—though it weren't much talk
ing you would get out of Hill, not as a
rcg'lar thing anyhow. Why he seemed
as if he worked of nights after he'd
turned in did Hill, and it was all gold,
every word of it. Yes, for the matter
of that he was a reg'lar whale at work,
and no mistake.
When Tom and me first come across
him Hill wns down on his luck. His
tucker hod just alxuit panned out, and
he hadn't not a shilling left to buy wa
ter, which seeing how water were a
pound a bucket at Coolgardie just then
and scarce at that, were awkward. Yes,
I reckon we were a Godsend to Hill,
that's about, what we were, Tom and me,
when we offered to take liim in mates.
Not but what it was right enough for us
to. Tom and me had a matter of may
be 30 pounds between us and we were
pretty old hands at the job, but the
place were new to us, and Coolgardie,
like most fields, had ways of its own.
We knew Ballarat in the deep lends, and
we'd been mates at Palmer river, but
this weren't like them—not a little bit.
Now, Hill, he'd been here two months
and lie knew most all there was to know
about the place, and so it eome about
as we went mates with Hill, and just
then Hill wns mighty glad to be took by
anybody 03 could get u bit of tucker
and a bucket of wuter —you bet.
After all's said let's be fair to Hill. He
could work, and he did—never a man
better—and if he didn't turn out not
slra'glit as mates had ought to be, well,
after all llill had temptations, I reckon.
Hill wasn't to say big, but he was
strong, and as wiry as they make 'ein.
Tom and me was used to work, but bless
ye, we weren't in it not alongside of
him at his best. He was a good-looking
chup enough too, was Hill, leastways
all you could see of him, which wasn't
to say much, being he was that hairy,
and water being scarce, you couldn't
say not exactly as to color, but his eyes
you could see and Hill's eyes were out
of tho common.- Look out they did
from under his eyebrows eager and
anxious like—always eager and anx
ious, as if he could see something rich
just ahead of him.
Hill never talked much—not while he
was aw&ke, anyhow—and when he was
asleep his talk didn't amount to nothing
about himself. He might.a been a dook
in his time, might Bill, for anything
ever he said to the contrary; and lie
might have been a'inost anything by his
tongue—only one thing was sure, Hill
liudn't always been a digger, no, nor yet
for so very long, neither. No, he were a
queer chap, were Hill, but take him all
round I've met a sight o' worse mates in
my time.
We stopped at Coolgardie for a month
and it wus long enough, too. Gold there
was, I r.dmit it, but it hadn't 110 sort of
consistency. You might work till ye
struck gold and perhaps get u nugget or
two and thought ye had come 011 a good
thing, and then, after you had broke
your heart following of it up for days,
you'd as like as not kick up a nugget
with the toe of your boot us you wns
going to work right a-top of the
ground. That was the worst of Cool
gardie. Gold there was, nnd plenty at
that, L it a duffer was just übout as
likely to come across it as a digger, and
n ln/.y chap that loufed about likeuChi
naman, all eyes and 110 hands, hud every
bit as good chance as us that worked
early and late to get it.
We were getting pretty near full up
of tliis, though we were making tucker
I HEAD IT OUT LOUD.
at it, mind you, all the time, and Bill he
was the fullest up of the lot. One day
there came news that gold had been
struck heavy to the northwest a mutter
of twenty miles off or so. Hill was wild
to be off, and though we lieard that
there was no water found yet it stood to
reason that somebody would find it, und
pnyhow water carta were sure to go
where there was gold. The new Held
was out beyond the Bed Sunset lange,
nnd we concluded to see whut it wus
like. Twenty miles dont sound much,
but twenty milesover half sundy ridges,
carrying a. live-gallon keg of wuler us
well as tucker and tools totes up 0
good bit of u job by tho time ye gets
there. I won't say but what Hill wus
all there at tho jol>—-he was mostly al
ways keen, was Hill.
Wc camptod at lust in a likely look
ing spot all by ourselves. Tom called
it Dry-grass gully, by reason it was one
sheet of some sort of short grass as
yellow as gold and as brittle as struw.
There was no time to lose, for do your
best you had to drink more or less,
and there wasn't a sign either of water
or of another party to lie seen from the
ridpe of our gully. It looked like a race
between luck and thirst, and the thirst
were sure while the luck were doubtful.
I can't say I liked the look of things, no
.more didn't Tom, but Bill he was just
wild. Anyhow we'd come and we were
bound to give it a trial. For three days
we worked in that gully early and late
and every hour the water got lower,
and we grew more and more thirsty.
Dry! Never in all my life had I known
what it meaut before our threats
burned and ached, our eyes sunk in our
heads, our Jmnds began to tremble, and,
work jus hard as we might our skin got
drier and hotter. We had found gold.
It was no use trying to dig for it, but
we had fossicked about over a good
part of the gully and there was gold
everywhere. But bless ye what was
the good? That night when we
knocked off there was only about n
quart and a half in the keg. I looked at
Tom, and Tom looked at me, and I
could see that It was settled. "It's nil
up, mate," says Tom, "and n pity, too,
for there's gold here and no mistake."
I looked at Bill, but he said nothing.
"Yes, Tom," said I, "it's all we'll do to
get lmck on the water that's left unless
we have the luck to fall in with some."
Bill looked from one of us io the other,
and at last he broke out: "Going* back,
are you? Goiug* bock when here's gold
to make us rich, waiting for ns?"
"It'll have to wait then, mate," said
Tom. "Gold's good, but It. ain't quite
good enough." Bill looked from Tom
to me and then from me to Tom, and
his *yes shone like glowworms in the
dusk of the tents "You mean it, do
you?" he said in a sort of n hoarse
whisper: "Mean it?" An' says Tom,
with a sort of a gurgling laugh soying*
as how his throat were dry: "Mean it?
I should say so, mate, rnytliur!"
Bill looks round first at one and then
the other of us, and then without a
word he rises and llings himself out of
the tent. I lifts the flap a bit and sees
him inarching down the gully a-throw
ing his arms above his head in the
moonlight, for It were full moon that
night.
"Bill's cranky, Tom," says I. "Looks
like it, mate," says Tom. "Well, I reek
on he'll come to liisbearln'sby morn In'."
With that Tom coils liisself up on his
blanket and goes to sleep, and after n
minute or two I does the same, being
just about worn out with work and
w ant of water. It was daylight when I
wakes and looks around. There were
Tom lying where he dropped overnight,
but I sees nothiu* of Bill. "Ilillo," I
tries to say, but I couldn't say it. rightly, !
my throat was that dry. So I stirs Tom j
up with my foot. "Bill ain't here,
Tom," I says. "No more he ain't," suys
Tom, sitting up, "the more water for
you and ine, mate." We scrambled out
from under the tent and looks around.
The sun were just up, but there weren't
a sign of Bill, look where we would.
"The devil!" suys Tom sudden, look
ing hard at the font, "he's been here,
sure enough, and left this wrote. Here,
Dick, you're ascollard; wot's this wrote
on the tent?" I turns round, and there,
sure enough, on the flap of the tent were
wrote with something that looked like
chalk:
"You want to go back to Coolgardie
—you can go. I've found what I came
for, and it's mine now. Good-by—Bill."
1 read it out loud, and we stands and
stares lirst ut the writing and then at
cuoh other.
"He's mail, Tom," says I at last, "and
he's gone without a drain of water—
poor beggar."
"Mad or not, I reckon he's come
across a nugget, and he means to keep
it. Not if I knows it, mate, not by
chalks. Fair doos atween mates, is wot
I says, on' wot I says I sticks to,"
It were never much good arguing
with Tom. It wasn't much that he'd
say, but there was no turning him once
he took a notion, and Tom was death
on getting hold of Bill and sharing the
nugget. At last I gave in and risked it
and started. It was easy to see the
way Bill had gone, for there were his
marks on the soft ground and sand,
not clear, but B3 like as not the first
stejvs that had ever been there since
first it wq-s made. He couldn't have
gone far, Tom said, and we took the
drop of water that was left, and started.
I'd have giveu it up hours before, but
Tom held on like, a bulldog. Now and
again we sucked u few drops of the wa
ter that was left and then we went on
aguln. Now and again we stopped and
snt down for a bit when our legs trem
bled too much, und then, without 11
word, we staggered up and went on
again. At Inst we had drank it every
drop and still the sup poured down on
our heads like white metal out of a fur
uucc. We staggered as we walked and
we could scarcely see for the light in
our faces. Our tongues had swelled
up so big that they seemed to fill our
mouths, and our throats were so dry
thvy made a kind of whistling sound
when we tried to speak.
Hour after hour, and every hour like
a month, and still we struggled on.
We couldn't go back, and we couldn't
say what we expected togetby golngfor
wurd, but painfully, mechanically, dog
gedly, we staggered on. We had been
trying for hourß, or for what seemed
like hours, to get to the top of u low
range that seemed as if it went away
from us faster than we could travel.
We had been so long that the sun had
gone down behind it at lust. Suddenly 1
found myself in a blinding glare of
sunlight once more, aud then I knew,
though I couldn't see, that I had at last
reached the top. I put my trembling
hand over my eyes, and little bv little
I began to see. At first it was gold, gold,
only a great sea of shining, dazzling
gold—then it began to grow clear and
I saw, W hat- was It I saw? Water. Yes,
glittering, flashing, blu/.ing, it was wa
fer. Tom was behind me now and I
tried to shout, but I could only point
and wave my arms like a madman. In
another rnlnute Tom had come up—he
was like me nearly dead beat, and stag
gered like a drunk, but he got. there
somehow. But where was Bill? I
looked and Torn looked. There was the
golden grass, and the low bushes, and
the water that flashed and quivered in
the low bottom where the sunlight
made a yellow haze round the trees that
stood here and there with drooping
boughs along the course of the creek,
but not a living creature in sight—not
a sign of the mate we had risked so
much to find.
We stood for a minute, aud then Tom
whispered hoarsely: "Look here, mate,
wot's the odds about Bill? Here's wa
ter as is better nor nuggets." We stag
gered rather than walked down the
slope with the level sun shining in our
faces. It was hard work even with the
*ound of the water in our ears, but
somehow we did it. We drugged one
heavy foot after the other— doggedly,
slowly, feebly, we did it, but somehow
we did do it. The sun sunk lower and
lower till it seemed to rest like a great
red circle on the top of a range that
was far away in the west, and at last
we were getting near the creek for we
could hear the water rush and tinkle
among the stones In the bottom. Tom
bad got a few yards ahead, and of a
sudden Tom stopped. As I come up he
pointed to one side and he whispered:
"Look mate, Bill's there 1" He was.
I'arehed as we were we couldn't pnt:s
him. The gush and the whisper of the
WHAT WAS IT X SAW? WATER,
water was in our ears, but we couldn't
pass Bill—could he hear it too?
We neither of us trifd to speak, but
we crept over to where he lay. He was
half sitting, half lying againstu bowl
der, und ho was looking the other way
so that we couldn't his face, but
Tom had been right. A big, rough,
shapeless muss of almost pure gold was
lying on the sund beside him —his hand
lay beside it on the ground—his fingers
somehow looked as if they hud been
stroking it.
"Bill!" I said, as loud as I could—
"Bill!"
He never turned his head—he never
moved. I went closer—l looked in his
face—then I knew. BiU was deud. His
hollow eyes stared out straight before
him; his head was ben 4 a little forward
as if he was listening. With the sound
of the water in his ears, with his nug
get on the ground at his side—Bill was
dead.
We looked at him, but we said noth
ing. Then we stuggeved down to the
creek—it wasn't fifty yards off from
where he lay. There we crank and drunk
again. There we let the water run ov?r
our lnyids, and dipped our dry faces in
the stream. At last we went back to
Bill.
We stood and looked "t him, did Ton.
and me. "What's that in his other
hand, mate?" said Tom, in a whisper.
!t was 11 letter, worn und brown, and
frayed along the edge. "Let's bury 11
with him, Tom," I said. "Not. 11s, mute.
Fair doos atween mntes —that's wot 1
;ay—mayhap it'll tell who it belongs
to. Bead it, mate; it can't hurt no one
I read the letter 11s well as I could.
No need to say what it said, but when 1
had read it both Tom and ine looked in
Bill's dead face, and then we under
stood. It wasn't a new story—l had
heard it often before a story of n
young and delicate wife and her little
children brought to went and disgrace
by a thoughtless husband nnd father,
nnd yet seeming to love him nil the
more. No wonder Bill was eager to
get gold—no wonder he looked anxious
and enger.
"What's the address?" Tom asked me,
after a bit. I told him what was on the
letter. Tom stopped and lifted the big
nugget in both hands. "Bight you was,
mate," he said, "I reckon there's enough
here to give them a start." Not an
other word was said, fio Tom gave up
his shure; so Bill got his nugget ufter
all.
Revenge ut I.unt.
Mrs. Scorcher—l thank heaven for
one thing, at any rate.
Mr. Scorcher— What's that?
