One Year $1-V Six Months 7j See President Cleveland's letter to Congress in another part of this paper. We may look for another issue of bonds before the roses bloom again. Theke is no rubbing it out that the next political struggle will be on the question of finance. The only political organization that can truly lay claim to being an educator, is the people's party. Think honestly over President Cleveland's recommendation to congress in regard to the money issue. Now honestly; does not the president's position assumed on the money issue, savor of "wild cat ism." We wonder if the democratic editors throughout the land who believe in the coinage of silver, will have the nerve to step our from under the party lash. The late election returns are freighted with consolation for the populist party. Nearly 2,000,000 votes, and not a state showing a decrease in the vote of the previous election. The people's party has forced the question of finance before the people, and it must be satisfactorily settled, and that to, in harmony with the desires of the toiling millions. Judge Howe, the late populist candidate for governor, of South Dakota, died at his home in Kedlield, Wednesday of last week, caused by exposure during the late campaign. Will the democrat who believes in silver as a circulating medium, still continue to affiliate with that party, or will he renounce his allegiance to it V What do our democratic friends, who are in favor of the issuing of silver at the ratio of 1; to 1, think of Cleveland's message to congress? Is not the last ray of hope from that source taken away ? Venality and dishonesty are not with the majority of any party, and when the venal and dishonest get control of affairs, it is almost invariably on account of the criminal neglect of their public duties by the better class of citizens. The conference held at the office of .I.S.I lender yesterday afternoon, was well attended. The people's party of Marshall county will immediately organize clubs in the county. Another meeting will be held at the same place Thursday afternoon at 1:0 o'clock, Dec. 2, lS'.M. A more extended notice will be given next week. It is as true as gospel, that, all over the country, the common sense of the people is deciding to free the public business from the curse of partisanship. Municipal an I township elections should be free from partisan contamination. Politics and partisan manipulation in. these contests should be ignored. The more men think about this matter the more determined fair minded men become to have the present practice done away with. Tin: course of the gold bugs of New York in cornering the gold market to buy the new bonds, is the result of the unwise silver legislation of congress?. Silver deinonitized, and still the treasury department, with millions on millions of silver coin and bullion on hand, persists in conceeding the demands of the bankers, to pay gold for legal tenders and treasury notes. The sooner the single gold standard is abolished the sooner will not only relief but linancial prosperity come. And now President Cleveland has refused to see Commander-in-chief Lawler, of the (S rami Army of the Ilepublic, who, while in Washington, desired to interview the chief executive of this nation in regard to some matter of importance. Why it is that the president of the United States places himself in a position to be harshly criticized, is beyond the conception of all. Last week it was noised abroad how he, assisted by Secretary (iresham, maliciously snubbed the Duke of Varagua,when he visited this country before the opening of the world's fair. At that time the Duke was an invited guest of this nation, participating in its hospitalities. There may be reasons for such discourtesies shown, not of a personal nature,

but if there are, the president of the

United States, the servant of the peo ple, should make them known. Truth is Stranger Thau Fiction. St. Louis Republic (I)em.): A hot demand is rapidly reaching out for a change in the currency laws which will give to the United States government liberty to quit performing the actions of an idiot. Atlanta Constitution (Dem.): Hurrah for the bonds! Within the course of a few months another crisis will lift up its head in the stormy minds of the Wall street bankers, and nothing but a big bond poultice will take out the sore ness. Detroit Tribune (Hep.): The situation is a most unsatisfactory one, and not at all reassuring to the financial world. It is pretty evident that there is not gold enough to go around and it begins to look as though there were no financiers in the administration equal to the occasion. Atlanta Constitution: The scheme is to keep Foster's policy in working order and to continue the bond-issue business until public opinion is whipped into giving its consent to the retirement of the government notes and authorize a law giving banks of the country authority to issue and control the currency, the bank note to be based on the credit of the government. Financial Reform. Those who are endeavoring to pursuade President Cleveland to indorse in his annual message the idea of a monetary commission to investigate the question oi financial reform are mere temporizers lighting shy of the vital matter at issue. No harm would come of hearings and investigations into the subject of linance ce, of course, but it is dithcult to see what definite result would be attained by turning over to a commission a matter which ought to be dealt with by congress directly. There have been monetary commissions before now, and there have been international monetary conferences, none of which have been productive of anything more than a vast amount of information and discussion. This is all very well in itself, and contributes to the proper direction of public sentiment, but the reading of papers and the publication of pamphlets do not solve the linancial problem or releave public distress. What is wanted now is legislative action. Congress needs no further information; the remedy is clear enough, and its speedy application is demanded by the people. If the president does not now understand this, if members of congress do not understand it, there will be no mistaking the verdict of the country when the issue comes before them, as it surely will unless popular financial legislation is forthcoming. Let congress come forward with the proper lemedy for our financial troubles inctead of skulking behind a monetary Kommission. The above is from the Washington Times of Nov. 25, edited by C. C Conn, member of congress from this district. You are right Mr. Conn. We heartily endorse all ou say about the duty of congress on the financial question. What we want is relief for the peopie. You have a democratic congress by a large majority. Let's have some legislation on the linancial question once, just once, "for the people," instead of Wall street. The remedy is clear enough and its speedy application is demanded by the people. (Jive us a currency at least $00 per capita, issued by the United States government direct to the people without passing the same out to private corporations. Make it a full legal tender for all debts both public and private, (and taxable.) We do not care what material is used to stamp, print or coin it upon, so it will be the most convenient and durable in the transaction of business. (Jive us money founded upon the perepetuiety of the American Republic; and as long as the goldite has free and unlimited coinage of his metal, give us (the people), free and unlimited coinage of silver, P to 1. Don't make one kind of money redeemable in any other kind of money. Here is w here the devil creeps in. "Congress has power to coin money and regulate the value thereof," and no one else. Stop the accursed bond issue, call in those now out, pay them off with lawful money, let this money go to work for the people instead of the people paying interest on non-taxable interest bearing bonds for the special benefit of a few. Yes, Mr. Conn, the duty of congress is plain. Carry out the constitution of the United States on the money question and you will not need any monetary commission or inter-national conference. The people's party is watching congress. The latest songs: "Linger Longer Looosie," "The Sweetest Story Hver Told." "I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard.' "In the Twilight." If you don't want to be behind the times get those songs. You can get them at half the regular price at Hansen's Music Store.
