The people asked for more money; Wall street asked for more bonds. Who was accom modated? Got it through your Leads? There are those who would put capital above labor in the structure of the government. — A. Lincoln. Leaders of both the old parties do nothing else. Wall street had some idle money and asked the government to furnish an investment, and it sold them fifty millions of bonds. Five millions of idle men ajid women asking a chance to invest their labor so as to get bread, but the government can do nothing. What do you think or do you think, or do you think at all?

Liberty cannot 'long endure in a country where the tendency of legislation is to concentrate wealth in a few hands.—Daniel Webster. Nine per cent, of our population owns seventy-one per cent, of the nation’s wealth. The laws divided that way. Webster thought it endangered liberty; Sherman and Grover think it the right thing.

‘ The bankers and bondholders of Vv all street are gambling on the misfortunes of the country, but the people will yet see to it that their government is not turned into a government of bondholders, by bondholders, for bondholders.”—Senator Beck. What would the sturdy old Scotchman say, were he to arise from his grave to-day and find that in the short space of sixteen years his party had surrendered the whole government to Wall street, and that a man from his state, one of his most trusted lieutenants, as secretary of the treasury, was the chief (conspirator in the devilish plot. Al the downward pace at which have moved for the past sixyears will bring us in the sixteen to the point where

if a man criticise the acts of Wall street he will be led out and shot down like a dog.

A nation that can maintain thirty odd billions of debt at par and can't maintin five hundred millions of paper money at par without selling bonds, has got into a devil of a fix.

, To hear a man whose knees and elbows are sucking wind through the rents in his garments, talking of the importance of “maintaining the character of our money,” is extremely fatiguing.

There is only one industry mentioned in the last census bulletin in which the wages paid is anywhere near the value of the finished product, and we think, probably, McKinley forgot to “protect” that industry. It is

the manufacture of button holes. There are 1373 hands employed who are paid $526,924, and the value of the finished product is *784,055, this leaves the manufacturer a margin of 8257,130 for profit and “raw material.”

Society naturally divides itself into two classes, the rich and well born and the common people. —Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton lied. Society don’t now or never did divide itself. The laws divide it and create the distinctions that he points out. Hamilton was the creator of banks in this country, and the cussedness of banking institutions, whereby one man lives in idleness and luxury at the expense of the toilers, was his idea of good government.

A Massachusetts congressman wants three hundred thousand dollars appropriated for the destruction of the Gypsy moth. He is a pesky little rascal and deserves killing and that sum would be well spent in getting rid of him, but what about the bank moth? He is a thousand fold worse. Where the Gypsy moth has injured the country to the amount of one dollar, the bank moth has injured it a million. What is to be done with the bank moth?

□ Never since the eternal fiat went forth, saying, let there be light and there was light; never since the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy, has there been fifteen men that more bravely stood for the rights of the common people than the fifteen Populist members of congress who stand in the midst of unparalleled corruption and bravely fight back the money power in their encroachments on the rights of the people.

The last census was manipulated in the interest of the protected industries, and is notoriously inaccurate. Yet, by a late bulletin concerning manufactures, the wages paid do not average twenty-five per cent, of the value of the finished product. The average rate of duty in the Wilson bill is about forty per cent. This leaves a margin of fifteen per cent, protection, if we allow the foreign manufacturer his labor for nothing. Is it possible that our manufacturers are so infernally greedy that they will not work on that large margin, or are you tariff fellows just lying to us about fear of tariff reduction causing the hard times.

To make a show of respectability, the Republican party still classes Senators Stewart and Jones as Republicans. These two gentlemen are to-day, in point of ability and honesty, second to no men in the United States senate. The following from Senator Stewart explains itself: To the editor of the Post. In your issue of March 30, in giving the views of senators on the veto message, you class me as a Republican. I left the Republican party more than two years ago, because that party was in favor of the single gold

standard in the interest of bjmks bondholders. There has been no reform in that party since I left it. On the contrary, during the 53rd congress the almost unanimous vote of the Republicans in both houses of congress made it possible for President Cleveland to force the gold standard upon the country and produce a condition of unparalleled misery and want. To be classed as a Republican is to be classed on all financial questions as a Cleveland Democrat lam neither. I am a Populist and belong to the only party that is unequivocally opposed to the subjection of the people of the United States to the rule of banks and bondholders. Yours, very truly, Wm. M. Stewart, Washington. D. C., March 30, 1894.

The senatorial pot in Benton county is furiously boiling, and as the waters whirled over we caught glimpses of Williams, Johnson, Phares, Biddle, Doyle and something that looked like a banker, couldn’t tell exactly We philosophized a little. Williams would make a good senator doubtless for the same reason that the fellow’s dog was good for coons. Johnson wants it along with the rest that is in sight, and the further fact that at one time he bulled St. Simon for the same place. Phares is one whose political necessities are great. The memory of man noteth not the time when Isaac was short on political 'necessities. If Isaac’s abilities equalled his political wants, he would be a stunner. Biddle would doubtless make a formidable candidate, being well acquainted in all parties, having boxed every point of the political compass. He has been a Bourbon Democrat, Granger, Independent, Greenbacker, Union Labor, Alliance and finally turned up in the Republican camp, seemingly nothing the worse for the multitudinous evolutions. He has “tried all things and held fast to nothing.” If elected and he keep up his migratory habits and should join the regular army wouldn’t they be in a pickle? Doyle would like it, but they have it so fixed that his “goose will be cooked” at the first turn of the spit. If the unknown that was seen and it was a banker, and we think it was, why wouldn’t he do? He would seem to be the logical candidate of this illogical party. To the Reps we will say, gentlemen, that is our plum. We propose to knock it.

What Does it Mean?

Bland says the house will keep Cleveland vetoing silver bills to the end of the session. What is the significance of that? This, and nothing less: It means, as the Populists warned the Democrats, that when the Sherman law was repealed without adequate accompanying legislation protecting silver, that all further increase of silver money was ended. Democratic leaders said no, that out of the way, and then we will give “liberal silver legislation.” Repeal was secured and the first, only, and most insignificant measure looking to the increased use of silver was promptly vetoed by the autocrat of the White House. Voorhees knew it, Carlisle knew it, Bynum knew it, they all knew it, knew silver was betrayed and their national platform repudiated, but they did not care for those things, they only cared lest they could not fool their constituents and get back where they could further serve Wall street and further fill their pockets. They have served Wall street and got the swag, now if they can fool the people and get back they will be all right. To do this they must, from this time on, be zealous silver advocates, pass silver bills, denounce Wall street and the money power, send home buncombe free coinage speeches, and when they return to their constituents, they can say, why I am a free coinage man, voted for free coinage bills, made free

coinage speeches, what more can you ask? Their crime lies in the fact that they gave Wall street all it asked for without protecting the people, and if returned they will sell you out again; they are in that business. What has Voorhees, Bynum or any of them done for the people? Nothing, nor have they tried to do anything. Why didn’t a free coinage clause go into the repeal bill if they wanted free coinage. Why didn't they tie the secretary's hands if they didn’t want bonds sold? They have a hundred majority in the house and a good working majority in the senate, counting the Populists. Then why didn’t they do these things? Simply because they didn't want or intend to. All the talk and blow and voting for silver from now on, will be done with neither desire or expectation of increasing the use of silver money, but done to get back where they can further serve Wall street, till their pockets and again betray the people. Hemp did you say? Yes. Well we guess that is what is noeded.

Hands Off.

No considerate man will encourage Coxey’s wild and visionary march to the national capital, but while the better judgment of the people regards it as a waste of time and wholly impracticable as a remedial measure, there is also a deeply grounded feeling that the market must not be interfered with as long as the men are orderly. All know that for the-past thirty years money and railroad kings, manufacturing lords, thieving monopolies, perjured lawyers by the thousands, tax-eaters,land and timber thieves, lobbyists, professional pimps and professedly pious libertines, jail birds, forgerers, rogues and rascals by the hundreds of thousands, have marched on to Washington, not only without molestation, but have been received with open arms by venal congressmen and senators, and their thieving schemes given legal sanction. Yes. all their deep laid plans to rob the people, such as the destruction of their war money and the substitution of interest bearing bonds, the credit strenghtening act, that added six hundred millions in value to the holding of the rich, the demonetization of silver, the severest blow struck at productive industry since the world began, the resumption act, the wholesale stealing and turning over of our splendid public domain, the inheritance of unborn generations, to the already enormously rich, made so by government subsides. No one has interfered while all this ste&ling and rascality was going on, nor while Jay Gould rented a part of the government buildings and filled it with handsome prostitutes to get the votes of such larkees, as Breckenridge, against the government in his Pacific railroad steal.

No, no, these rascals have had a wide and unmolested field for their thievery, and the American sense of fair play will see to it that labor shall have the same right to march unmolested to our national stealing grounds that rascality has had. Yes, gentlemen, thieves have been received there with open arms, and labor would be if it carried boodle enough to satisfy congressional scoundrels. If the orderly and law abiding commonweal army, whose only offense is their poverty should be set upon and murdered by plutocracy’s hirelings no man could tell where it might end. So we say hands off, gentlemen, laborers must and shall have the same right to visit the capitol that has been accorded the organized bands of thieves.
