LUMP CITY, MONT., NOVEMBER 30, 1895. The Engine of Commerce. An engineer driving a train over one of our trunk lines must carry a certain pressure of steam to maintain a given rate of speed. Should he allow the pressure to fall below that which experience has taught him is necessary to meet the speed requirement, then his pace must slacken. And, if, while maintaining a certain amount of steam pressure, he adds to his train from time time an additional coach, and fails to increase the working power of his engine, by adding to the steam pressure, he will surely fall behind his schedule rate of speed. And again, if an engineer in ad- dition to increasing the burden bf bis engine, by attacking more coaches to his traiu, should sud- denly redube the steam pressure one-half, his rate of speed would not only be greatly reduced, but unless coaches are cut out and side-tracked must stop altogther. An engineer who would, while attempting 'to maintain a schedule rate of speed, adopt such methods would not only fail and lose his job but be set down as a‘fool or an idiot. What steam is to the engines, which pull the lightning express across the continent, so is money to the engine of commerce. It is the motive power which sets in motion the machinery of the fac- tory, revolves the wheels of com- mercial and industrial trade. - In fact keeps alive, adds to and builds up our whole national system, and propels the engine of prosperity. During the past the train drawn by this engine has been constantly added to by the growth of our nation, increased manufacturing, trade and commerce. With our mints open to the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver, the increased money volume year by year was added to the pressure of this great engine sue. ciently to maintain a proper speed. This great train of commercial supremacy was speeding along over the track of prosperity, ad- ding at each station a coach bear- ing the fruits of labor, and with each addition, increasing the steam pressure to meet the additional weight. The money power of Europe looked on and saw a nation speeding from her grasp and rival- ing her in wealth and power. In an evil lao . iir it found a traitor at the throttle valve; at its bidding and for hire, he cut of one-half the pressure; the effect was instantan- eous, the speed was curtailed and the whole train must have stopped but for the aide -t racking of coni•heis. 'Ilene are seen strung all all along the main track and are typitiod in the silent factories, the BMOkelegFi smok estac I now desolate homee. The same power has an em- issary at tin' throttle valve who, for hire, insiste that more pressure is not needed, that too much steam has - - been employed and asks to reduce it still further. That this man is not a fool or an idiot the people well know, but that he is an enemy of the people, a foe to prosperity and a debased hireling of the money power they do know. And until a new engineer is placed in charge, the throttle valve thrown open, and a full head of steam turned on the train of commercial prosperity will never again whirl along at its old time speed and maintain schedule time. Free silver, and that alone, will do it. The President's Message. The first real Brutus that ever sat in the presidential chair has presented to congress his annual message. While it is not marked by unusual length, nor exceeding brevity, it bears the unmistakable imprint of his heavy, phlegmatic, and sluggish brain. In attempting to be didactic he becomes tedious and tiresome. , His dissertation on our financial situation, and his treatment of the subject of free coinage, is but a re- hash of the sophistry sent out by Wall and Lombard Streets to de- ceive and delude the unwary, and shows how completely he is in the power of the goldbug trust, and with what willingness he plays the pliant and subservient tool of the circumcised syndicates and alien plutocrats. In appealing to public pride and patriotism for support for his foreign gold monometallic policy, he says that our indebtedness, public and private, has been con- tracted with reference to our pres- ent standard, and that to decree, by act of congress, that these debts shall be paid in dollars less valuable than those contemplated would be to transfer by the fiat of law, and without compensation, an amount of property and a vol- ume of rights and interests almost incalculable. If we could cherish the hope that these deductions were made in ignorance of past events, we could forgive his ignorance in the hope of his early retirement to that obscurity from which he orig- inated. But being made in the full light of the history of past events, common intelligence repels the thought that they are made for any other purpose than to mislead and deceive. The entire issue of government bonds now outstand- ing, with the exception of those issued during the past two years, to maintain the gold reserve, were originally issued before the de- monetization of silver, and were made payable in lawful money of the Utrited States, which not only contemplated gold, but silver. By the demonetization act, silver was cut off as a debt paying money, thus enhancing the value of gold, and, by legislative enactment, all 'debts, public and private, were doubled, and \operated as a trans- fer by the fiat of law and without compensation an amount of prop- erty and a volume of rights and interests almost incalculable.\ And it is to partially recover this lost ground, to the people who lost property and the means of ac- cumulating wealth, that the friends of silver demand. But Grover and his ilk, taking their que from Wall and Lombard Streets, are acting the fence for the theives, and pleading that their stolen wealth Is>not taken away. have believed the falsehoods of the two old parties which were so boldly and emphatically stated by the commercial press and by the leading politicians of both of the gold wings of the Rothchild party. We hear on every side meti say they are bimetallists and still they adhere to the democratic or republican party, and strange to say claim consistency. What would be thought of the consist- ency of a good Catholic who al- ways went to the Presbyterian church and made all his contribu- tions to that church, or what would be said of a Methodist who never attended a Methodist church but on all occasions attended the Cath- olic church, and complied with its requirements and contributed to the extent of his ability for its support? Would the former be regarded as a good (Catholic, or the latter as a good Methodist? The same is true of a bimetallist who belongs to either one of the old gold parties and, votes for their candidates and contributes to their campaigns. The fact that he pro- fesses to be a bimetallist fold claims that he is in favor of the restoration of the money of the Constitution stamps him as insin- cere or utterly ignorant of the sit- uation.—Silver Knight. It is a remarkable fact that the bondholders, gold gamblers, and móney . changers, have absolutely controlled the legislation of the United states Rime 1873. The people iti no instance have been heard. Both the old parties have constantly proclaimed that they were bimetalliate cud that the other party was guilty of all the wrongs which prodm•ed oak:nation and hard times, and th , pe o pl e ----- Culled From the Chicago Tri- bune. THE TRIBUNE AND WORKINGMEN. A laboring man would infinitely pre- fer to be set at work earning silver dol- lars than to starve wniting for employ- ment on a gold basis. -Chicago Tribune, January 9. 1878. SILVER HAS NOT DEPRECIATED. Silver, even 88 bullion, has not deprec- iated since it was demonetized, as com- pared with property or labor.—Chicago Tribune, February 6, 1878. DOLLAR DEFINED. A dollar's worth of silver is 412% grains standard (with alloy), or 3713-i of pure silver. This standard weight was adopted by Congresss in 1792, and has never been changed; 371% grains of pure silver constitutes exactly a dollar's worth of silver, --Chicago Tribune, Jan- uary 17, 1878. IT WAS ASTONISHING INFORMATION. When Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson devised the system of American coinage they adopted the me tallic plan for the express and direct purpose of securing to the American people, as a protection against all fluct nations in the relative value of gold and silver, the option to pay debts in coin of either metal. We continued the system in this country until 1876; the people were astounded with the information that in 1873-4 we had abolished the coinage of the silver dollar, and do.•lared it no longer a legal tender.
