Look out for Dan Voorhee’s “liberal silver legislation,” it may come howling along any day. hi»> jmnnximwwrs't .*•*» r wmm Mr. Coxey, when you want to move congress, don’t present men, just hand in boodle, that will bring them every time, and

don't you. forget it. war: wwc;:gr*3r» Old Density, sitting in the presidential chair, raking in his thousands from trust stocks, is wholly unable to see why everybody else isn't prosperous. r.i.i V wu-aJmwvi Labor was promised good times by both parties, but when they go to ask for what they gave their votes for, they are knocked on the head. Will they take the hint.? rrsowewj* All kinds of money that are equal before' the law are eoual in value. It is the law that gives the value, and not what the metal is worth to the silver smith or lewder.

The editor of the Republican is getting wonderfully worked . up over the progress of the People's Party. A glance at the Bth page of his paper will explain the cause of so much worry. He .. fears the loss of those fat legal ads. ONE good thing will result from the Coxey movement. It will show the unprotected laborer just where he stands in the estimation of the old party leaders as compared with his protected employer. If the Republicans of Jasper county think the “ravings” of Populist orators are so “vicious and misleading” perhaps they would like to prove it by having «joint discussion in Rensselaer.

When silver was first demonetized the silver in a dollar was worth a dollar and three cents. Demonetization lowered the

price. Free coinage would restore it to its original standing.

The present panic began in Australia and gradually extended to all the other British colonies and countries which sustain extensive commercial and financial relations with Great Britain, and that country is raking in the spoils.

When we consider the time, place of beginning, and extent of the present financial troubles, it looks like those fellows who lay it all to “fear of Democratic free trade” are either a set of fools or else they think everybody else is.

When we consider the amount of business that is done with silver money and the bullion value of that money, we are forced to the conclusion that about fifty per cent, of the purchases made in these Uuited States are paid for with the “fiat” of the government.

England experimented five hundred years with the tariff and finally settled down to what is called a free trade basis. The United States has discussed it one hundred years, and now Ickleheimer has ordered his men to tug away at it till “de beeples shust forget about de finances.”

The plutes say Coxey is not mentally right. Possibly they are correct. The only evidence to sustain their charge, lies in the fact that Coxey believed he could prevail on Wall street’s hired men to give the country a lift. Aside from that he seems as same as any man.

If the arguments of Mrs. Lease were vicious and misleading, why did not the editor oi the Republiaan correct her when she called on the audience to challenge any statement she made and not wait till she was hundreds of miles away and then play the role of a backbiter.

Those noble women whom the Republican places so far above Mrs. Gouger and Mrs. Lease seem t® be troubled with a “lack of confidence” in their own ability to defend their position in a joint debate with these ladies. Some of them, at least, had been invited to take a hand in the discussions.

When the Populist candidates were nominated in this county, they were “good enough men,” said the Republican. When that paper feared that Mrs. Lease might influence enough voters to elect them, they were an “office hungry” crowd. Don’t fret, Mr. Republican, they won’t hurt anybody but tax eaters.

The argument that the “practical” redemption of silver with gold, is all that prevents the depreciation of silver, is too thin. What silver we have is a money of ultimate redemption in itself. Hence “redeeming” it in gold is just about as sensible as “swapping dollars,” and adds just about as much to its value. -Indeed, that is all there is in it.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama. is out with an article to which he places his signature, saying that a dozen men, six Republicans and six Democrats, all millionaires, forced the nomination of Harrison at Minneapolis and then Cleveland at Chicago, because both were opposed to free coinage, and both sound on the money question. Oh, fool voter; oh, sapheads, how much longer will you be duped and fooled by these old party bosses. They only want your votes. After they get them they want no more of you, and if you come near their august presence, their hired man will crack your heads.

Repeal the Sherman law, that will restore confidence, stop gold shipments, put every idle man to work, start every

wheel and industry in the land. It was done, and yet gold goes out, millions can’t find work, hunger is felt by millions, prices lower, revolution is threatened, all of which was pointed out by Populist speakers and writers at the time. Oh, you lying servants of Wall street and the Ickleheimers.

The tariff howlers ought, by all meaus, to shut -off “Dun’s Weekly Review of Trade,” especially that part of it which goes outside the United States. It completely knocks out the argument that the business troubles here are caused by fear of a reduction of the tariff. If Dunn and Bradstreet are to be trusted, the condition of affairs in Canada is w’orse than here. The busifailures there each week are more than double what they were last year.

Populists may not know everything about the finances of the country, they were the only fellows that were able, to predict with any degree of accuracy the present condition of the country, and they were the fellows that said relief could not come from the repeal of the Sherman law, and a little more monkeying with tariff will show that they are right in saying that has little or nothing to do in bringing on, or relieving the distress of a money panic.

The lying gold bug papers are trying to make it appear that the Coxey movement is a Populist movement, but that “won’t skin. ” Populists know too much to present a petition in the in terest of labor, either in or out of boots, to a congress controlled by either old party. They quit that sort of thing and went,to shoving their petitions into the ballot box. No, sir, Coxey’s men are Republicans and Democrats. They may leave Washington Populists. If so, it is a good move.

If there is anything that has a tendency to make a man want to change worlds, it is this constant hinting of Ben Harrison that his re-election is the one thing that will bring prosperity. Don’t he remember that just before he was defeated and after four years of trial, that the troops were called out in four states to overawe striking workingmen. The contemptible little whiffet seems wondrous of memory all at once. Benjamin, you are not needed, we had a surfeit of you.

The Chicago Inter Ocean in’7B was too honest to publish, as editorial matter, the circulars sent out by the American Bankers' Association when that organization was trying to down the Greenback Party, even when the bankers offered to pay for the printing of them at advertising rates. Now it not only publishes everything sent out by the Bankers’ Association against the Populists, but throws in a great many *lies to makegood measure. The money did not own it then, but now it does.

Look at the financial plank in the Indiana Republican platform. It was worded to deceive and confuse the voters. If they are in favor of the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1, why didn’t they say so? If they are single gold standard men, why didn’t they boldly declare it? If they are not lying when they declare for government control of our money, why didn’t they demand the repeal of the national bank act? The truth of the matter is, they are a miserable set of shysters, only intent on plunder, and they constructed their platform so as to deceive the people and catch their votes, the dirty, lying, treacherous villams.

FROM WASHINGTON.

An Interesting Batch or News From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, May 4, ’94. Coxey’s arms has gained notoriety, but it has dearly paid for it, and if the men are allowed to remain in their present camp many of them will surely pay for it with their lives. If the authorities had condemned four hundred criminals to be imprisoned in the enclosure that Coxey’s men now occupy the humanitarians of the country would be up in arms about it. Why Coxey took those men there is a mystery. A more unfit place could not be faund, and Coxey knew it, because the health officer told him. It is alongside of an old canal into which empties a number of the largest and filthiest sewers of Washington. And that is not all by half, the soil is made up of dumpings of filth and inside the enclosure are pools of stagnant water covered with green scum an inch thick. Already a number of the men have been taken to hospitals, and if they are allowed to remain there they will soon begin to die like sheep. Coxey, who stops at a hotel and lives on the best, talks glibly of the men’s dying there being an “object lessor*but the men don, t seem any more anxious to die than any other men. When Coxey failed in his very mild attempt to speak from the Capitol steps and together with Browne and Jones was arrested, the movement collapses; but he still insists that he intends to keep these four hundred men here until they grow into four hundred thousand, when he will again make the attempt. He charges an admission fee to the camp, hut only he and Browne know where the money goes. He says it is used to feed the men, but the are getting mighty poor feed.

• • © The question of legislation that will make some sort of definite settlement of the debts due the government from the Pacific railroads isn’t making much noise in Congress but it is exciting the the deepest interest, and the Congressmen know it. The money spent within the last decade in the employment of high-priced legal talent by the various interest on these debts. Several propositions are being considered by the House and Senate Pacific Railroad committees, ranging from practically presenting the roads with the amount of their indebtedness to the Government’s taking possession of the roads and running then. It is not yet certain what will be done, nor even what will be recommended by the committees. These railroads have never yet failed to head oft in some way all Congressional legislation that they did not approve, but they will find the job more difficult this time. ® • 9

Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota, says he has always favored Government ownership and control of all telegraph lines, and that he will do all in his power to aid the movement of his fellow-craftsmen, the printers, to bring about that result, o © a The statement made this week by Representative Rayner, of Md., that Wall street influences are being used to assure the repeal of the tax on State bank currency, because money can be made by showing the notes that would then be issued,has not improved the chances of the repeal bill. Mr. Rayner says a careful canvass of the House made by himself and Representative Springer, of 111., shown the passage of the bill to be an impossibility, unless there is a chance of opinion on the part of a numbers. It is understood that the populists will vote solidly against the bill; also the republicans.

Somebody is a long ways from the truth as to the present tariff situation. Although Secretary

Carlisle announced the first of the week that a compromise had been arranged that would make the passage of the amended bill certain, Senators still deny it vehemently and even call each other ugly names about it. Senator Voorhees, chairman of the Finance committee, says the income tax has got to stay and that he will make no further concessions in the interests of trusts. Senators Hill, of N. Y., and Smith, of New Jersey, make it very plain that they will refuse to vote for the bill with the income tax in it, no matter what other changes may be made. Senator Teller is the only republican who has openly declared in favor of the income tax, although it is believed that five or six of them will vote for it when tfte motion is made to strike it out of the bill, but on the final vote on the entire bill the republicans will probably vote solidly against it. As may be inferred from the above the situation is decidedly mixed, and it will probably remain so until the democratic Senators settle upon their programme.
