of -.' free coinage of silver, that is.
he wants a dulla' north of mirt-r in
every dollar coined. How in the name
of all gold hniu buggery can tlie pluto
crats define this as "straddling" the
financial question? An honest silver
dollar is a dollar -vith lilO cent in it.
every cent exactly equal in value to the
one hundredth part of a dollar in gold.
Instead of straddling he stands with
both feet upon the basis of paritv, on
the equality of gold and silver values.
Very few people perceive the intensity
of the passion for the yellow gold in the

no doubt that we will harvest an im

the day when he closed the doors
of his palace to Bismarck, there have
been prophecies innumerable as to
the certainty of imperial deieal
whenever the crown should appeal
to the people, and for a while, just
prior to the recent election, some of
their predictions had a reasonable ap
