Gems From The Detroit Tribune

The following paragraphs are II clipled froni tlie files of the Detroit Tribune, ml show what the paper thoughtbefore t lost its snuit y : lm mutable Laws Control - Free coinage is, therefore, a sj'Stem vhich niakes the government simply an assayer and stamper so far as the ralue of the precious uietals contained n the coinage is concerned, and whicb eaves the determination cf the value of coined gold and silver to the same inmutable laws which control the values of wheat and cotton and corn. 'JnAmerican, Unpatriotic - With its pessiiiiistic slander of Amercan institutions and its calurnnious ndictment of American moráis, poli;ics and social conditions, its bornbasic and grandiloquent asseveration of )urpose and its ridiculously inadejuate remedies for the evils which it porirays as the most gigantic ever known, ,he People's party platform is unAmerican, unpatriotic, and unpopular. No party will ever sweep this country or any considerable section of it on such a platform or with such a candidate. , Ignoranl and Destitute - When the people know nothing of finance except that money is scarce in their own pockets, demand that the currency be regulated to suit their noions, and set themselves up to be "the people" on the very grounjl that they are poor, ignorant and destitute of experience, politics begins to be a comedy, with motley fools as the chief :un-makers. Tliere is enough common sense left in the United States, we make free to believe, to prevent "the people" and the people's party frorn doing the harm they are so frantically anxious to accomplish. Good Advice - The young man who is to cast his first vote this fall should be able quickly to decide which side he will join. If he is in doubt let him compare the records of the two great parties. and then compare the men who represent them in congress. Let him go where Democracy is strongest- in the touirliest ward and slum holes of our cities ; then let him go where republicanism is strongpst- in the clenn wards and in the thrifty country towns where churches, schoolhouses", farms and factories are seen, instead of dives and brothels and blear-eyed bourbons. Young men, you wlio are to cast your first vote this fall, which side will you walk over to?
