Show India is on the point of muting from one end to the other occasioned by the grinding times prevailing on account of the closing of the Indian mints as part of the policy of the gold infatuated infatu-ated bankers of London. It may result re-sult to England in the loss of her eastern east-ern empire will, most probably. Per haps thiB possibility has hurried up the rather earnest action of the British bimetalic league. Surely the cause is quite sufficient to put metal in their heels as they haye put dispair into the hearts of the people of India. Is there nothing but revolution which will soften the hearts of the gold bugs? If not, then welcome revolution. We have a compromise to suggest between Uncle Sam and the common-wealers. common-wealers. Let the former gentleman perfect a title to the Nicaragua canal and hire the entire commonweal army at $3.50 per day and board, and send them there to complete the work. We oan see no sort of difficulty in the way, unless maybe it isn't work the wealers are looking for. The billeting of Mr. Carter's "army" on Utah county is not received by the people as a very great boon. The men will not be lionized to any very great extent. They, however, will be treated fairly but our people cannot afford to feed them. Charity commences at home, and our own poor have the first claim upon us. What wonderful distinctions are to bi made between bimetalism and free coinage, a larger use of silver money and a subsidiary coin; a ratio of 16 to 1 aid 31 to 1. Yet all the fellows in order or-der to btand on the Chi 'ago platform, are called pro silver men. Ye Gods! what an infernally unfrank lot we haye become. The announcement of the confirmation confirma-tion of Judge Dusenberry yesterday was received with pleasure by al classes of our people. This confirmation confirma-tion comes at the very nick of time, as Judge Jones left Provo yesterday for an extended visit to the coast. When Coxey formed his peaceful battalions why didn't he give them a less warlike name? "Army,'' with all due defierence to this white winged soldier, is a very military cognomen, and whispers "blood" into human ears, Kelly and bis fortunes are afloat upon up-on the bosom of old Mississippi. Cesar aad his fortunes were once so embarked, em-barked, but Kelly will sure not make the same landing. Bimetalism with England if we can, but bimetalism without England or Europe if we must, is our financial platform. The future capital of Utah would have been glad to entertain Secretary Herbert had he paid us a visit. Mr. Secretary Herbert committed commit-ted a great mistake in not paying a visit at Provo. To talk of bimetalism without free coinage is to talk of taking a carriage drive without the carriage. |
