| Show THE ADDRESS TO THE the address of the mining and bustness business fiess men of this his territory to president cleveland has hag the he right ring to it As it will be found in full in its proper place in NEWS it only needs to be referred to here if ever a people were justified in calling upon the head of the nation for such relief as aa he can secure it if he will those of the interior west are so justified the president has not been advised as to allpha all phases seg of the silver question and such ideas ashe as be has formed or imbibed have ben those of the people who do not produce but ore foremost in the handling of the white metal there is a large profit to be realia d out of unequal conditi condi tims ns whereas if prevailed there would be wider distribution and con smaller profits for the few he is an honest inan and insists insist upon every dollar that is issued with the governments govern n cuts stamp upon it cou coir tain iniz a hundred cents worth of value for this there la is and can be no censure only praise but we respect ully ask aek that it be determined by an impartial tribunal and not net by a select few committed to the continued continued of one of our circulating metals what value under unde such circumstances means anything that will effect exchanges and settle balances of account has value to that extent but everything that will do this is not of necessity money to be money it must have certain intrinsic qualities such lity ity density incorruptibility durability and so on which together with the risk and expense attached to procuring it invest such metals with what civilized man recognizes as an intrinsic value a great deal of worth in a very small compass having such metal it ii is 18 only nece sary that when there is ano her one recognized as fit for the purpose their worth with to each other be de ter mined and then issued as au by law to make them the medium spoken of our constitution two such metals and pro hiame money being made from any thir thi i g elst ele thereby reby paying without the diw of so many words that one shall not oe ne preferred to the exclusion or prejudice of theother the otner As mr cleve lau laoj i is devoted to to tile C let us hope he will give abis b anch of the subject some attention when maki nit up his hie mind as to what caristi atutes an honest iollar dollar let him con sider aider that our forefathers and our people up to the tinne time of the congles con greg gres I 1 of 1873 fou aund tid no dishon sty ety in an i 1 tit disho or in the ajl full use of it as our institutions till then provided la Is it that we have be ome so eo much more honest and so much wiser that we have been compelled to put one of our former favored metals out of use it liis his not changed an lots lota it beams upon us with the ibe same smi smiling linw fissuring in glow abat has characterized it through all the ages aee it is as incorruptible now as am it ever wai wa it is sit as malleable as aa ductile as impervious to runt or borro corrosion almost as scarce all things con eldered and nearly if not quite as hard bard to lo get as at any time since man first discovered its ita proper use and yet it la is no ng longer honesta how the human family must have progressed from the standpoint of the money changer changed how much purer and more scrupulous and mo more re exact and more honest has the biped dignified with the name of man become than one of the other products of nature which never knew guile nor dissimulation nor the art of imparting deception the fact of the matter is the outrage upon the great west and through it upon every debt payer in the country n has been borne in meekness and without complaint of any effective nature so lung that those who originally conceived and compassed the sin of have apparently come to look upon themselves as being in the right alter after all ail when richard III was reviewing in a soliloquy a portion ot of his recent and more bloody career he signaled sin si aled out several clever hypocrisies s which had been successfully worked and the victims of which looked up to him with wonder and admiration as 1 though hough he were a patron and a benefactor instead of a tyrant and a monster the thought of his success was uppermost and so elated was he that be finally exclaimed imy my word tor for it I 1 have mistaken myself all this time and am a marvelously proper maul man so with the superlatively dealt leakus us people who are most frequently met in wa wal l street and lombard street aud and who are so fearful of the whole wonlu becoming corrupted through the use of silver as money there is bot much gold in circulation comparatively ively speaking and the most of it is controlled by the gentry spoken of so ang 1 ang as they can make congress do their bidding they hey can buy silver as they hey would vig pig iron and sell it in the same way realizing a profit with each enca transaction and they have perhaps come to look upon such a constricting condition of things as perfectly legitimate and them themselves selve 19 us as wise and upright custodians dlane of the peoples peopled wel farel one reason why this Is ia an auspicious time in which to commence the agitation at headquarters la Is because the forty fourth congress Con greag contains a majority of members in both branches who are fully committed to the just abid patriotic action of restoring allver to its proper estate the president alone stands in the way but we do not believe he be would do so BO if it could be made plain to him that no trickery or dishonesty are intend ej ei he is un ton excellent listener mud and a mao man not so puffed ui uta 1 over his exalted station that he will i ot listen helen to relevant and timely f suggestions or requests request from any one the address of our silver men is in not fco bo verbose as to be wearisome nor bior so terso terse as to cramp its meaning and we hope that mr cleveland will read it with interest and give it full attention |
