SAGE LYMAN TRUMBUL
SUGGESTS A DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES FORTHE PARTY. “Dowa with Aloaopolus and Millionaire Control; Cp with the Rights of Men and the Maseee? 4 —Tha ‘’Grand Old Man of HUnoU.’’ Judge Lyman Trumbull expressed m the following resolutions thought th.lt will live and burn into the hearts of patriotic men long aftnr the present Cut throat competition of plutocrats and paupers has jfiven plaee to a gov* eminent of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. 1. Resolved, that human brother* hood and equality of rig-fats are cardinal principles of true dtttiioei’ady 5 . 9. Resolved, that forgetting all past ’ "tical differences vve unite in the common purpose to rescue the government from the control of monopolists and concentrated wealths to limit their powers Of perpetuation by curtailing their privileges and to secure the right of free speech, a free press, free labor and trial by jury—all rules, regulations and judicial dicta in derogation of either of which are arbitrary and unconstitutional and not to be tolerated by a free people. 3. We endorse the resolution adopted by the national republican convention of 18(10, which was inSorpqrated by President Lincoln in his inaugural address as follows: “That the maintenance, inviolate, of the rights of the states, and especially of the rights of each state, to order and control its own domestic institiitioiis According to its bWn judgment, exclusively, is essential to that balance of poxver on which the perfectness, and endurance of our political fabric depends, and we denounce the lawless invasion of armed force on the soil of any state or territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.” 4. Resolved, that the power given congres bv the constitution to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the Union to suppress insurrections, to repel invasions, does not warrant the government in making use of a standing army in aiding monopolies in the oppression of their employes. When free men unshield the sword it should be to strike for liberty, not for despotism or to uphol 1 privileged monopolies in the oppres si-on of the podn 5 Resolved, that to check the rapid absorption of the wealth of the country and its perpetuation in a lew hands we demand the enactment of laws limiting the amount of propert ■ to be acquired by devise or inheritance. €. Resolved, that we denounce the issuing of interest bearing bonds b the government in times of peace to b •. paid for in part at least by gold drawn from the treasury, which results in the government paying u n It, own money; 7. Resolved, that we demand that congress perform its constitutional duty to coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin by the enactment of laws for the free coinage of s Iver with that of gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. 8. Resolved, that monopolies affecting the public interests should be owned and operated by the government in the interests of the people; a.I employes of the same to be governed by civil service rules, and no one to be employed or displaced on account o’ politics. 9. Resolved, that we inscribe on otrbanners, “Down with monopo'ies an I millionaire control; up with the riglH • of man and the masses,” ard under this banner We march to the polls and to victory.
Well, pa, I have been figuring a litle and I find that an intelligent, inensive system of agriculture would •nalde us to raise food as follows: Four bushels of wheat for every human bein< in the United States can be aised oa 2,506,000 acre* of land; 2,600.)00 acres will supply every family with fifty bushels of apples; 195.n0 ( ) aeres of potatoes will furnish three bushe s for each one of us; 9.125.000 aeres cultivated in corn will supply a half pound >f pork a day to everybody over 20 .•ears of age; 473,000 acres will furnish i quart of strawberries a day for ten veeks to every one, and 303.<)<)0 acres •will give us a musiimelon apiece every lay for ten weeks. N<w to produce all he bread, meat and potatoes, apples, nelons and strawberries we can all ‘ at will require but 15,196,000 acres of and. Indiana alone contains 23,040,■)00 acres. Subtract 15,19*5,000 acres from this number and you have 7,844,>OO acres left, which is enough to furnish each person over 10 years of ige a pound of butter a week and still eave 3,500,000 acres for the use of building lots, vineyards, poultry yards, etc. In other wo’ds, enough of everything to eat can be supplied to our >5,000,000 people upon a spot of ground the size of Indiana. Well, what of it?—Stockwell’s Bad Boy. The newly- elected republican governors in the various states will give grand inaugural balls.

THE INDUSTRIAL LEGION
To Meat at Kansas City, Mo., Fab. 23, IS9S. The meeting of the National Industrial legion will take place with the Reform Press nesociatiou at Kansas City, Mo., on Feb. s’l All recruiting officers holding commissions from headquarters, all state officers of every grade, executive council and one delegate from each legion will be admitted; We earnestly hope that the utmost energy will be shown iii Organizing legions; We should have a thousand hew legions before that date The legions already organised who have not paid . dues will confer a favor on ine if they will send as large a contribution as possible to pay printing bills and other expenses. I have borne the IjUrdbn long enough, and shall be compelled to lay it down unless this is do.:e. A small sum from each legion will be a great help. Pa l i. Van Dei:voort.

Retire the National Bank Bill.
The national banks have been and are continually withdrawing gold from the treasury by tendering so called coin certificates or treasury notes and demanding the gold in exchange. The shifting us this metal from the treasury to the banks and from the banks back to the treasury, only to be again withdrawn when the latter desire an issue of bonds by the government, may be successfully repeated without limit, unless the people take up a line of action in self defense, Which Will be effective in calling a halt to such unpatriotic and dishonorable financiering. We suggest that, as the national banks have set in circulation among the people §207,000,000 of their own national bank bills, while sorting an I keeping out of circulation these treaury or.coin notes for the above ind - ealed purpose of excliungmg them for gold, that the people who believe in protecting ihe government—i e., themselves—trom tiie nef-ir.wUj t .raetice of sorting tile currency for the illegitimate purpo e of diuiniiig th ; treasury of gold, do tender to the banks at their earliest convenience in ex lange L.r ’’legal enders” any nationa bank bia coining- within toe;.- poss s-.i in, before using the same. And furtl er believing that the pe< - pie of these United States have Lut tha <ne weapon left a’ their eoi .mand, b ■ which .they can successfully resist or ..eek redress f.-om the injustice anil impositi n practiced upon tin in by tlie .national banks, we therefore urge all who believe in the government issue of money direct Io he people to act individually and collee Lely, if possible, to further the above movement. 1. Teude:- every national bank bi 1 direct to tae banks, instead of passing t on and thus keeping it in circulation. 2. Huy every national bank bill found in circulation among friends or business associates, and tender these also to the bank. 3. Urge every friend and business associate to do likewise. The law compels every national bauk to redeem its own notes as welLas those of other national banks in tfovernmeiit “legal tender” money, land tne inevitable result would be to force the national bank bill out of ciaeuiu> tion into the banks, while the talk about the retirement of the national currency to make place for bank bills
would s- on cease. The b: nks would either desist through discretion from looting the treasury of its gold or be forced to .top their operations through alack of the kinds of bills (treasury notes and legal tender) necessary to continue this nefarious scheme; while the government “legal tender” received in exchange would take the place of ’ e national bank bill In general circulation among tne peop.e, where it could not be used by designing bankers to draw gold from the treasury. By the gradual operation of this combined action on the part of all believers in the government issue of money, a more perfect condemnation of the sen ernes of national bankers will be effected than could possibly be enacted by law or resolution; and in time. the only outstanding circulation would be the government “legal tender.” while the discredit thus thrown upon lhe national bank bill would compel its withdrawal from the circulating medium of the country. A more thoroughly prae ical and effective solution of the currency question for and by the people, than would result from such action, could not be devised in the interest of ,iu honest money issued by the government.
The above has been sent to us by a friend, • ho believes in lighting the enemy with his own kind of weapons. We print it for the consideration of those who would like to retaliate on the banks. —National \Vaicl..nan. The Sherman law was repealed, we were told, to prevent the necessity of issuing bonds. The financiers said so. Did they lie, or were they ignorant? Trust them no more.

WHO IS A FOOL?
IS ANY MAN FREE WHERE HIS BROTHERS ARE SLAVES? Farmer* and Laborer* Pay the Interest on All Public and Private Debts, and Their labor Is Mortgaged for the Principal. You say you are out of debt and own a house'? Yes. Well} bow many children hare you? Five. That makes seven in the family. What is your home worth? Oh, about $1,400. And you are a loyal patriotic American? Yes; I defended the flag in the rebellion. and the very sight of old glory thrills every drop of blood in my body. Oh, you are enthusiastic. Yes. sir; for my home anti country I am ready to lay down my life. Good; you are one of the kind of men who made this great nation the richest on the globe. Yes, I guess I have done my share and 1 am proud to be an American. Well, let's come back to the original subject. How did you get into debt? Who, me? Yes, vou. Why didn’t I tell you that I don't owe a dollar to any man on earth? Oh yes, you doi. What! Do you mean to insult me? There is my hotise free from debt and I’ve got money in the bank. Yes, but you said you were a loyal American* and you certainly are loyal to your state, county and communitv and believe that every individual should pay his debts. Certainly, but what has that to do with the case?
Oh, nothing, perhaps, but how pinch did vou make last year? Well, I made a living, and I've got enough money tn buy a new wag< i and a plow and some other things I need. Then how are you going to pay o T l!.v debts of you!’ family? Are you crazy? I want to say emphatically that 1 don't owe any debt > sod 1 don't thank any man for tryii. ' to make a fool of me. Friend, don’t get excited. Th >t won’t make the debt any easier to pa •. Don't you know that it would requi) a all the land in the United States io pay the debts of the people? Well; what in thunder has that to do with me? Oh, nothing, but do you know of any way of paying the debts without se.ling the land? Of course I do, it can be paid off wi :i the money that goes into the treasury as taxes. Don’t you know that instead of paying off debts the treasurer is borrowing more money? The debt of your family was increased sl4 by the last two bond issues of sso,oob.oiX>, and the treasurer is now prei aring thin's for another is>ue of fifty millions. That will make s2l increase of your debt t his year, and the bankers are demanding an issue of $500,000,000 worth more of bonds and that would increase the debt of your family S7O more.
The total indebtedness of the people of the United States 1b SSOO for each and every man woman and child in the nation —making your share $3,500 with a family of seven. Of course you do not owe this amount directly and you have never signed a mortgage on your own home. But you pay interest every year on the state, county and national debt—and through depreciation in prices you contribute of your lab >r and produce every year io pay interest on the private mortgage s of the country. Ultimately you must pay your share of the principal. There is uu getting aroun I it. Oh! you’re one of these darn Populist calamity how lers—l have no time to waste listening to a fool. I’ve got to go to town and pay my taxes and buy some tools I need on the farm. Yes; there he goes to buy more tools to raise more produce for Shylock.
Some Cold Statistics.
Since free coinage was suspended in June, 1893, India has been unable to export enough products to pay her gold interest, but has been compelled Io borrow $50,000,000 te pay interest on her gold obligations during the year, and she must continue to borrow and increase her debts under the gold standard. Th - United States has been compelled to borrow $56,000,000 by lhe sale of $50,000,000 5 per cent bonds and has $50,000,000 less in the treasury than she had a year ago under the same tariff laws that were formerly in force. It is impossible for the United States to export enough products at gold prices to pay interest on either foreign or domestic debts. There no way of avoiding a continuous crease of indebtedness but by th coinage of silver, and that ca had through the efforts of party.—William M.

HERE’S YOUR MULE.
Give the Banker* the Earth, or They*]) Take It. Congress don't know where it is aft But it still knows what the bankers demand, and what congress must do, or do nothing. Congressman Crisp and Senator Gorman have held a little caucus and conclude that the only proposition which the senate and the bankers will accept must embrace the following features: 1. An issue of $500,000,000 of long term, low rate bonds at 2X per cent, if possible, but not over 3 per cent. 2. These bonds to be sold to the banks at not less than par and to be the basis of circulation up to their par value. 3. The legal tenders to be retired and canceled as the bonds are put out. 4. One fifth of this issue of $500,000,000 to be retained in the treasury and made available for current expenses if needed. 5. Silver to be bought and coined at the rate of $50,000; 000 a year. 6. No bank notes to be issued of less denomination than $2& 7. All denominations below S2O to be silver certificates and silver. 8. Silver certificates to be redeemable in silver. There it is in u nut shell. .lust what the Populists have told you for years were the intentions of the moii.-y power. Take each of those numbered item/ into your mind separately, roll it over, tear it apart, and analyze its intentions. Five hundred million dollars of long term bonds—sls,ooo,ooo a year interest, enough interest to support 10,ouo people in idleness, interest that will take the labor of 50,000 men a year at $1.50 a day to pay—and all for the benefit of the bunkers, Cancel the greenbacks and substitute interest bearing bonds and wildcat bank notes. Destroy the money that saved the country in time of war, and turn the issuing of money over to the traitorous cowards. who hired substitutes and hoarded up their gold to profit oij the nation’s necessities. And wliut a magnificent outlook fp> silver—to be “bought" and coined—bought with what? Give us free coinage of both gold and silver or demonetize gold. Big bank notes for the rich and small eurrency for the poor—and the banks in control of bof h. Glory, hallelujah! Those philni thropic. benevolent, astute and monkeydooodle bankers! Ain’t they smooth? Give us the earth, or we'll take it.
