Labor pays all tbe taxes. The way to protect the gold reserve is to pay out silver. The man who thinks for himself is the man who succeeds. The issue is, which is the greater, the citizen or the dollar. The w T ay to increase the volume of currency is to increase it. A crank is a man with an idea nud the courage to contend for it. Let the Democratic party issue more bonds and its doom is sealed. Money is a medium of exchange. It is also ver}’ scarce at present.

There are more stranded of-fice-seekers this year than Carter had oats. You can bribe some men with prejudice that you can’t touch with money. Labor is the true measure of value because it is the only source of wealth. If the working man wants to get out of the “soup” he must get “into politics.” The Democrats are still wrestling with that “chance.” At last accounts it was thought the “chance” would get them down. It will probably end in a do"fall. There’s a great deal in a name after all. It's only the name which makes the difference between an “athletic exhibition” at Rob}', and a regulation prize fight. The man who reads and studies only one side of a question is poorly equipped to discuss the other side. He really don't know whether there is any other side or not. The Independent order of Odd Liars—the old party papers—having exhausted the fake about Tom Watson going back to the Democratic party, are now on the lookout for another lie. The true theory of Democratic government is to diffuse power and not to. concentrate it. Nationalization is not concentration but diffusion—placing the power in the hands of the people. Money is not a commodity, as many seem to think. But even il it was. there is no good reason why corporations or private individuals should be given entire or partial control over it.

The conspirators who are trying to force the issue of government bonds, by the exportation of gold should be taught a lesion by having all their demands paid in silver. Silver is a legal tender/ The Lord seems to be hardening the hearts of the Pharoahs of the money power. This is one of the indications that the people will be free. We hope they won t wander fort y years in the wilderness of tomfoolishness. When the farmers get tired of being farmed by the politicians and publiu*pap-sackers they will probably “go into politics’’ and do a little political farming on their own hook. When they make up their minds to do this

in earnest, as many of them have already done, there will be “wailing and gnashing of teeth,” but it won’t be from the farmers. The farmers and laborers have solved the question of production. This nation produces more than any other in the world. They are now beginning to study the question of production and will soon solve the problem. Money and transportation at cost, land for the landless, public control of public institutions and a graded income tax will secure to labor that to which it is entitled. “If any will not work, neither shall he eat,” will be tbe principle involved in future legislation.

The Republicans had control of this country for thirty years and did not make heaven out of it, but if they only had a chance now’, what wonderfully good things they would do. Gentlemen, y.-u have sinned away your day’ of grace, the people have trusted you the last time; disband, scatter yourselves among the Prohibitionists, Democrats and Populists. New’ and better associations may possibly make you wiser and of course cannot help lessening your pow’er to do evil. The investigation of a committee of the Tennessee Legislature into the convict system at Coal Creek revealed a situation described as “savage and cruel beyond belief, and w’ould disgrace the horrible tortures of degraded savages.” Women convicts were stripped naked by brutal guards and whipped until blood came, and indignities of a bestial nature unfit for publication were heaped upon the unfortunate creatures by guard s and their favorites. Had this taken place in Russia, there would be a loud wail heard from the daily press, but as the Platts, Brices and Wall street plutocrats have “vested rights” down in Tennessee the hireling press remains singularly quiet.

The Republicans and a few honest Democrats tried last win s ter to remodel tbe Fee and Salary law, so as to make it constitutional, says the Republican. Well, yes, Bz’o. Marshall, how hard did your party, when it had full power, try to pass an honest, fair, square Fee and Salary law? Did you ever say salaries were too high? Had your party been sincere and honest, it could long ago have reduced fees and salaries. and therby saved thousands, and thousands of dollars to our tax payers. The Republican party is a fraud, a lie and a cheat. Don’t complain to us about this Democratic sham bill; we know it was intended for a cheat, but why did not your party, when it had the power, give us something better?

Our Plea.

We have shown how prices may be increased, and the load of debt on the farmers removed. The profits left in his hands by an increased volume of money and reduced freight and passenger rates, may be further increased by equalizing taxation. Farmers and workingmen, while doing all the labor and possessing less than one fourth of the Nation’s wealth, are by unjust arrangements compelled to pay eighty per cent of the taxes. We believe that an equitable arrangement of our system of taxation, would reduce the farmers’ taxes almost one half. This is an injustice that has long called for redress, but both of the old parties are silent upon the question so far as any practical remedy has been proposed. The People’s Party proposes to deal with this question, and deal with it in the following manner. First. We would have a graded income tax, such as we had during, and for some years after the war. Allow us to make this clear to the understanding of all. Say, as by way of illustrating our idea,

if a merchant at the close of tbe year foots up his total outlay, living, rent, clerk hire, insurance, interest and bad debts and finds the sum to be twenty five hundred dollars. Then he calculates his net income .and finds it to be thirty five hundred dollars, leaving him a net income of one thousand dollars. Say then that w r e take two per cent of that, twenty dollars. Observe we don’t touch his plant or productive capital, but a per cent of his income. If he has no income, then he pays no income tax, and if he has the income it is easily paid, for it is a part of his profits. The last year that

we collected an income tax, w r e raised about seventy four millions, if our memory is not at fault. That was over twenty years ago. Our wealth has more than doubled since. We could now raise two hundred and fifty millions easily. In addition to that, we could levy a graded land tax. Exempt the home, two or three hundred acres, the amount deemed necessary for a home, and then lay a tax of say ten cents on the next forty and an increase on each additional forty, so as to render holding land for speculative purposes unprofitable. In this way we could tax out foreign landholders as well as to loosen the grip of resident ones. In this way w r e could raise a large amount of revenue as well as help forward the solution of the question, “what shall we do with the boys?” Revenue raised in this way would make tariff reduction possible, cheapen many articles of manufacture, and leave more profits in the farmers’ pockets. These things accomplished, and we believe them practicable, farming w’ould once more pay, and homes for all would be made ©nee more possible. We have now pointed out the radical measure of the People’s Party and wherein they differ from the other parties. We know they are radical, we know further that no nation has at any one time lived under all of these conditions, but we believe that our civilization has reached that point w’here we not only can, but must of necessity adopt these reforms or lose our liberties. We shall in our next deal with the money question, and consider objections that have or may be raised to our principles. (To bo continued.)

DESERVING PRAISE. We desire to say to our citizens that for years we have been selling Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, Dr. King’s New Life Pills, Bucklin’s Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not follow their use.

What He Mimed.

Lafayette Courier. A pretty good story illustrating the contempt with which the bible is regarded by some people, is told on a prominent young society man in town. He went away to make a visit of some length and his mother, a tine Christian woman, packed a small bible with the rest of his effects, and he premised to read it occasionally. Realizing that if the son could not get any spiritual benefit from the perusal of this good book, he might be pleased to receive financial reimbursement, so she folded neatly a §lO bill and stuck it in between the pages of the Bible. Before long the young man telegraphed home for money, saying he was broke flat. Eventually his visit ended and he came home without a cent in his possession, hungry because he had been compelled to travel a long distance without even a railroad lunch. His mother began to unpack his grip before his eyes, and when she came to the little old Bible, calmly took from it the bill and placed it in her pocket. She did not say a word, but her motherly heart went out in sympathy to her son when she saw the abject look of astounding disappointment that grew upon his face. That young r#:an did not read even a newspaper for a month after that until he had thoroughly shaken it for ten dollar bills.
