Some people are continually denouncing the People's party for demanding loans by the government to the people at 2 per cent. There is no such plank in the platform. No loans of the kind are mentioned in it, and the People’s party are asking nothing of the kind at the hands of the government that it is not already doing for the national banks. When Senator Irby does anything particularly mean the Republican papers class him as a Populist. At other times he is placed in the Democratic column. There are four Populist senators, and only four. viz.— Stewart. Peffer, Allen and Kyle. They stand without spot or blemish on their characters and there are but few others of which the same can be said. Senator Peffer's head s built on the same plan as his whiskers. He told the repealers that their bill would not bring prosperity as they claimed it would, and it didn't. He told them that an issue of bonds would not remedy the conditions and it hasn't. In fact all the Populist predictions are being fulfilled to the letter, and all the gold bug prophesies are proving false. Who are the cranks, any how?
Republican papers are presenting to their readers blank columns which they claim fully represents what the Democrats have done the year and a hall they have been in power. Now, if the Democrats have done nothing, as these blank column: represent, then, of course, the; have undone nothing, and th< country’ is just moving along under the plans and regulation, long ago adopted by the Repub licans. It is the Republican policy of government that has turned millions of honest, indus trious men into idle tramps, for "the Democrats have done nothing—their record is blank.” If the hum of the spindle is hushed; if the lire in the furnace has gone out. Republican protection is to biame. for it is still in full force, "tiii* Democrats havedom nothing.” If the United States treasury is short, Republicai appropriations and a Republican financial policy have dom the work, for "the Democrats have done nothing—their record is blank.” If doubt, distrust and business stagnation arbringing misery, sorrow and want to our once happy, thriving people, Republican principles and policies have failed, for “the Democrats have done nothing." In these trying times it ill becomes a party that has shaped the policy of the government for thirty years, to say to a party that has ruled fora year and six months, "you are to blame foi ill is trouble, for you have done nothing.”
The following blood and than der is from the Democratic Governor of Texas: "You all know that a few days ago federal troops were ordered into Illinois without being called for by the governor of that state. This is the first time that thi.s has been dune since 1860, and I regard it as a fatal blow at slate rights. It is awful to contemplate and is the precursor of dire calamity. , As soon as I returned home from my northern trip I wired to headquarters that I would not tolerate the calling out of feder al troops in this state until I had been first consulted. In times of trouble I mean to try the power of the civil authorities first, and until they fail the mil- [ itary power shall not be called lon in Texas. Whenever they | try it I'll be there to stop them, [and. bygatlins I'll stick to my I ground. I see before me now i some of the generals who will | be called upon to load the hosts, whose business it will be to defend the stars and stripes when the troubles come, not here, but I further north and east, and I have faith in your nerve and patriotism, but when the row comes, and if disintegration should come I am in favor of Tejftg standing on the constitu- j
tion of 1836 and going it alone as a republic again. lam for Texas first, the United States second and civilization at large next. The press dispatches tell us this morning that a distinguished jurist has signified his approval of that construction of the constitution which sees no harm in the burling of federal troops across states without regard to the wishes of the civil authorities. Let me tell you that this kind of constitutional construction is the digging of the mine which will hoist this government off its base, and though the order to invade Illinois was given by a Democratic president, who is the chief of the party to whicn I belong, my spirit revolts at it. My heart sickens at the thought of the consequences.” Had these remarks been indulged in by a Populist Governor. he would have been ridiculed and belittled by every old party paper in the country, but as it is nothing is said —no not even loyal Republicans have any criticism to offer.
The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam, of McKeesport, Penny!* vania, in the treatment of diarrhoea in her children will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: ‘‘l spent several weeks in Johnstown, Pa., after the great flood, on account of my husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took the diarrhoea very badly. I got some of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. I knew of several other cases where it was equally successful. I think it cannot be excelled and cheerfully recommend it.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist.
