The national debts of the world amount to more than *34,000,000,000. Have the courage and manhood to vote your principles, if your party goes to Hallifax. High taxes puts “lots” of money in circulation and helps to malic the common taxpayer industrious and saving.

The scheme to allow banks to issue notes on other than U. S. bonds is a movement of the Plutos to bull their worthless watered stocks and' unload them on the people.

Our commissioners have as yet held no meeting-son Sunday, but every other day of the week they can be found at the old stand grinding away at the rate of *10.50 per day.

Every Democrat in America ought to read the speeches of Sibley and Bryan, delivered in the House of Representatives, and thus find out just where tne party stands on the money question.

T. M. Patterson, of the Rocky Mountain Nows, of Denver, a faithful exponent of Democratic principles, has abandoned his party and will henceforth be found using his own power and influence in building up the Populist cause.

With a 45 cent county levy in ’9l we paid over 830,000 county tax, %<5,000 more than the commissioners intended. For this year (’92) the levy was reduced to 40 cents, but for next year f 93) we will pay 45 cents on the *IOO.

It lias been said that you can't make a good old Jackson Democrat mad, but times have changed. If you want to breathe an atmosphere that Is strongly impregnated with sulphur and blue tire, just suggest that ‘-papa" Grover is a Jacksonian Democrat.

If Democrats who believe in the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson, and Republicans who believe in the Republicanism of Lincoln -and Stevens would only •stick to principles instead of party, the next election would Lgo Populist by more than twoi; third's majority. ,

h Wir<r will not men who revere | Washington, Jefferson, Jackson i and Lincoln follow the teachings | of those great statesmen instead i of allowing themselves to be . coddled and hoodwinked into supporting parties whose leaders I directly oppose all the principles i enunciated by those patriots. * >*- *' l a. "r.’*vfirra»cw m i mj-j KppW.:HY should the Democratic ; party favor the millionaire gold I bug any more than the millionh a ire manufacturer;- why should I it follow the advice of wealthy f . New York bankers any more y than the advice of wealthy Penn- •; sylvania-mill owners and mine -1 operators':' That party will no more release the people from the | wicked grasp of heartless pro- | teetiomsts than it will from the i wicked grasp of heartless money changers. Democratic . tariff reform will never reduce any of the rich protectionists’ profits, I nor lessen any of the common poverty.

At the Populists 1 state con vention, of Nebraska, the first of I this month, in the platform ! adopted, they speak as follows ' on the pension question: “Resolved, That we are in favor of a service pension to our soldiers upon a showing in a! court of record of an honorable discharge and upon reasonable proof, such service pension to be on an equality regardless of rank. And we are in favor of an additional amount based upon the degree of disability, which shall be the measure of the same.”

Some Good Points.

American Nonconformist. Dan Voorhees complains that he is tired. So is the whole country tired —of him. We told the people last fall that the two old parties were the same. They would not believe it then. Now with their own eyes they can see it. We declared our independence of England in 177 G. Let’s do it again. We got along without her interference in our money affairs then, we can do it now.

There are two kinds of Democrats, Cleveland Democrats and platform Democrats. One repudiates the platform and its promises, the other doesn’t.

The only “change” effected at Washington by last fall’s election was a change from “Baby McKee” to “Baby Ruth.” The whole country will please join in singing “After the Bawl.”

The pitiful stories of want and suffering told of the homeless and-seekers in and around the Cherokee strip ought to make the dead legislators who gave to the railroads the millions of acres of rich land in Illinois, lowa, Nebraska and Kansas, turn over in their graves and the living ones go hang themselves. The land grants to railroad corporations form one of the blackest chapters in the history of legislation.

The two old parties are trying iard to get up a sham tight in congress on the repeal of the election laws. The object, of course, is to excite past sectional feeling and draw attention from that party-splitting issue, the money question. A favorite device jof pick-pockets in a crowd is to start a pretended row in one quarter. While the people are rushing to see the cause the light-lingered gentry get in their work.

There are plenty of “business” men who never advertise in their local paper, which goes into every family circle from which they can expect patronage, but will patronize every •‘card” and sign sboard scheme that comes along, -and from which they never receive a penny’s worth of benefit. The Herald has a bona fide circulation of eight hundred copies; it is read by four times that number of people every week; there is no other advertising medium that offers the same advantages to our business men as its columns, yet there are some who refuse to advertise in it and at the same time patronize every fake advertising scheme that comes along, and pay twice as much for lmmbuggery of that sort as legitimate advertising in the Herald would cost them. But some business men have queer ideas about patronizing home industries. They talk sharply about the ingratitude of the farmers who send to Chicago for their groceries and other goods, while they themselves patronize everything that is foreign and even worthless, while the institution that has been the mainspring in building up their town, and their business in the same ratio, is given to the go-by. It isn’t much to be wondered at that an immense retail trade goes from some towns to Montgomery Ward & Co., Chicago, and other firms, and that it is yearly increasing. The farmer takes his cue from the business man, and the combination ought to succeed in keeping their town down to a fourth rate village. Then when the town is properly dead and ready for interment these men who patronize foreign job offices and “business directory” sign boards can send away and get one of their fakirs to come and write their obituaries. —Goodland Herald.

Washington Letter.

From our regular co-respondent. Washington, Sept. 22, 1893. Senator Voorhees is very much I like the individual, whoi everybody knows, that is going to do [ great things to-morrow or next week. His threats of resorting to extreme measures to force a vote on the Voorhees repeal bill continues to be made, but no extreme measures have been resorted to. The senators opposed to the bill have openly defied Mr. Voorhees’ to attempt to pass a cloture rule or to hold the senate in continuous session until a vote is reached. Senator Platt, of Connecticut, has proposed a cloture rule, but, as that

can be debated as long as the repeal bill, there is no probability that it will be seriously considered. In any attempt to carry out the often made threat of wearing the silver men out by a by a continuous session all of the advantages would be on the side of the silver men, who could divide into relays while the friends of the bill would be compelled to maintain a quorum constantly, and if the attempt is made it will probably only be to show President Cleveland the impossibility of getting a vote ot the bill, in order to get his consent to a compromise that would be accepted by the silver men. It is as certain now as it has been from the beginning that no vote can be reached without the consent of the friends of silver. When this fact is recognized by President Cleveland the long and needless struggle will be over, and not before, unless a sufficient number of administration senators shall agree to vote for a compromise without his consent, and many well informed people consider that a very likely outcome of the present situation.

The nominations of W. B. Hornblower, of N. Y., to the vacancy in the supreme court, and of J. J. Van Alen, of R. 1., a son-in-law of W. B. Astor, to be ambassador to Italy, are far from pleasing to the politicians, although it is not probable that any serious attempt will be made to defeat the confirmation of either of them.

The science of finance constantly presents new problems and contradictions to those who attempt to master it. The word “attempt” is intentionally used, for it is doubtless whether any man has yet succeeded in mastering it. In the early days of the extra session the senate committee on finance favorably reported a bill to allow national •banks to issue currency to the full face value of the bonds they have deposited in the U. S. treasury, and the bill was endorsed by tire secretary of the treasury and other men credited with being financial experts, as one that would materially aid in ending the financial stringency, then at its worst. Before that bill was acted upon pressure upon the finance committee caused it to be side-tracked in order to give the Voorhees silver repeal bill the right of way. And now. although there has been no change in a single law, the banks have more money than they want and instead of wanting toincrease their currency they have begun to surrender it—one New York city bank retired £472,000 of its currency this week and others are preparing to do likewise. This is only a single instance, but it shows how little is really known on the' subject.

The public tariiff hearings, which were concluded this week, took an unexpected turn when a delegation of prominent Democrats from Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland, numbering nearly one hundred, among them the Governor of West Virginia and ex-Senator Davis, made its appearance to protest against the removal or'reduction of the present duty upon bituminous coal. Although unexpected the effect of this demand for protection for a product of three Democratic states, for demand it was, is already apparent and before long will become more so. It will embolden Democratic senators and representatives to make the same demand for products and manufactures of other states.« Of course there is a difference between making the demand and making the new tariff bill, but unless all indications are at fault there will be considerable protection in that new tariff bill before it becomes a a law. * * * The house, after a week of fillibustering and trying to muster

a quorum of Democrats, adopted temporarily one of the most drastic cloture rules, in the ! shape of an order reported from the committee on rules, ever used by s,ny house, before it could get the Tucker bill for the repeal of the Federal election laws reported to the house; and now the country may as well prepare for a period of exciting partisan political debate on that bill, unless Republicans carry out their threat of uniting with [thesilver men to kill the bill. * * * Silver is carried into everything in the senate just now. Senator Vance, of N. C., who is opposed to to the Voorhees has succeeded in “hanging up” the nominations of two collectors of internal revenue in that state, mad.e upon the reccommendation of Senator Ransom, who favors the Voorhees bill.

A GOOD THING TO KEEP AT HAND

From the Troy (Kans;w) Chief. Some years ago we were very much subject to severe spells of cholera morbus; and now when we feel any of the symptoms that usually precede that ailment, such as sickness at the stomach, diarrhoea, etc., we become scary. We have found Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy the very thing to straighten one out in such cases, and always keep it about. We are not writing this for a pay testimonial, but to let our readers know what is a good thing to keep handy in the house. For sale by F. B. Meyer the druggist.
