The following are Senator Peffer’ views aB to the future policy of oq party. “Populists wisely placed the monej question first in their platform. Tin money power now agrees with us tha this is the leading issue of the time Its representatives in high places hav remo.ed from the statue books tli last vestige of law requiring the cojn age of silver dollars and the issue o paper money. They have brought th business of the country to a got basis; they have stopped the coinag of all orher kinds of money and not they propose to withdraw from circu lation «ur government paper and sut stitute bank notes in its place, thu placing the peopled business affair at the mercy of the speculators. W can not escape the issue if we woulc It is upon us. The practical questio for us to determine it, how can w best concentrate the voice and vote's men who take the same view that w do of this graat and pressing issue? ; proper discussion of the money quei tion involves every idea in the Popi list platform. We need not and ougl not to abandon a principle we hoi dear, but we can press our leadiu idea more boldly, more aggressive! and more exclusively than we hat done, and with this key solve tl problem yet to come.
