For thirty years the Republican party has been appreciating the dollar, and now the wiser ones confess the policy all wrong. Turn them down. THE daily conversions to bimetafUm and government ownership and operation, of all public necessities prove Populists to be the most advanced thinkers on all economic questions. If the Democrats keep on tinkering with the tariff another year they will have duties higher than McKinley placed them. What a gag the tariff is anyway. The U. S. Supreme Court has decided it? favor of the Indiana tax law. This decision brings the railroads to time. They will now have to pay the taxes they have been holding back, which with the penalty attached will be about two million, two hundred thousand dollars. The state’s share of this will amount to a half million; a nice little sum to apply on our state debt.

Every bank failure was for money; every merchant that failed lacked the money to meet his liabilities; every mortgage that was foreclosed was because the distressed creditor hadn’t the means of payment; every factory that has shut down did eo for lack of money to run on, -or to force an extension of special privileges; every man, woman or child that has suffered for food, clothing, fuel or shelter, has so suffered because they hadn’t the money; the farmers are poor and don’t purchase because the money volume has forced prices to a point below the cost of production, and yet congress will appoint a committee to investigate the cause of ■the hard times.
