“COIN’S FINANCIAL SCHOOL.”

Some Facts and Opinions Concerning The Book. The demand for “Coin’s Financial School” continues to take an average of 5,000 copies per day. Several orders of 1,000 each from prominent men have been filled by the publishers in the last week. The character of these orders is illustrated by that of W. R. Bennett, a prominent business man of Omaha, who orders 1,000 copies and says: “It should be in the hands of every voter in the United States.” William J. Slack, La Grange, Ind.: “I have used 100‘Coin’s Financial Schools’ and will use more. It is a good shot, well aimed, and in time, as I hope.” / Sanford O’Kelley, Somerset, Mich.: “.‘Coin’s Financial School’ is creating a great sensation in this country and the gold bugs getting very scarce.” E. A. Stearns, secretary of Drovers’ Journal Company, South Omaha, Neb.: “It is the simplest statement of what money is and its relation to business affairs that I ever saw.” T. C. Dalbey, ex-postmaster.

Frankfort, Ind.: “I purchased and read a copy of ‘Coin’s Financial School,’ but was at the time prejudiced against it, and read it as much or more, with a view to criticism as anything else. However, I am free to confess that I had read but a portion of the book until I found that it had the better of me. and by the time I had compieted the perusal thereof was soundly converted. Everybody ought to read it, especially those who, Ijke myself, may entertain a prejudice for it.” Seymour Marquiss, Deland, Ill.: “I have just read ’Coin’s Financial School,’ and will say that I think the little financier must be the second Christ, as there is no person (seemingly, from his book) that can ask him a question on the finances of our government that he cannot answer to the perfect satisfaction of the whole people and to the shame of the man that asks the question.” Twenty-five cents pays for a copy of the above book, including three month’s subscription free to the People’s Pilot.

The silver erase is still a "erasing." A few one-plankers are left standing alone. The tin rooster industry has collapsed. The People’s party is an anti-monop-oly party. Prosperity is still lingering in the dim distance. The democrats are howling for another chance. The Declaration of Independence was no one plank affair. It is funny that the many submit to the exactions of the few. The fate of the income tax is equal to the Dred Scott decision. There are no pleasant memories connected with the tin rooster. The income tax came from the Supreme court pretty badly scarred. The politicians farm the farmers and , the usual result is a crop of fools. Remember that the People’s party is an all round anti-monopoly party. i The Indiana legislature opened with prayer and broke up in a disagreeable row. v The Omaha platform with the currency question paramount —that’s the plan. The President says he don’t get drunk. We give this as a matter of news.

The National Watchman has conjured up a ghost—its name is H. D. Lloyd. Almost anybody ought to see that a one plank platform won’t go with the people. If the single plankers would march In single file the procession would not be very long. It is a wonder that the Supreme court does not decide that irrigation is unconstitutional. The sound money men invited Grover to Chicago, but the vote of the people vetoed the invitation. The government is supposed to punish criminals, yet it is the greatest criminal in the puddle. The free coinage of silver is an assured thing, in the near future, if the people vote as they talk. The Referendum is the shortest cut to get things right. More light should be thrown on this subject. Watch every effort to put delegates in Populist conventions who do not indorse the Omaha platform. One would thiDk from the decisions of the courts that the constitution was made on purpose for the rich. “Avarice is a weed that will grow in barren soil”where no trait of humanity exists. It thrives best there.

It is strange that the unconstitutionality of the income tax was not discovered in the days of honest courts. , The single plankers will find that they can neither dictate the platform nor the candidate for the People’s party'. The south is about to be invaded again; the “sound money” advocates are going to hold a convention in Memphis. A man who thinks more of his party than of his wife and family, and his country, might properly be called a tin rooster fool. The National Watchman says “there’s no use fooling away any more time in the cities, the workingmen won’t vote as they march.” We beg to remind the Watchman that about the only support the single plank “policy” has received yet is from men “in the cities.” It will be a hard matter to make the average intelligent citizen of this country believe that an income tax law that stood the constitutional test during the late war would not be a good law now, notwithstanding the assaults of the money hags and the disposition of the courts to sustain every demand of plutocracy. Gen. Weaver is out in a letter advocating alliance with the new silver party and the Indorsement of Joseph Sibley as the People’s party candidate for President. Not satisfied with dictating the platform, the.single planaers now want to dictate the candidate. Sibley is not a Populist—never was, and people will not be caught in this trap simply because he is a millionaire and opposed the Cleveland administration. The London News says, “bimetalism would be fatal to British supremacy.” Of course it would, and that is why silver was demonetized in this country, and in turn “British supremacy” in the United States prevents the remonetization of silver. It is humiliating to be compelled to make this confession, but it is nevertheless true. How any loyal American citizen can see this country run as it is by British capitalists and not make his blood boil passes comprehension. British torylsm is more rampant in this country than it was before the American revolution.

The democratic party has concluded to remain in business for a while yet. Hereafter it will do a sort of job-lot-racket-store business. A court is said to be the last resort. When the people, having passed a law, are denied justice in the courts we are on the brink of revolution. About the only good thing that congress did was the passage of the income tax, and now the Supreme court has spoiled the best part of that. If Gen. Weaver and others are to say what is to be the platform and who the candidate' of the People’s party, what is the use of holding any national convention. We haven’t heard of any Populists breaking their neck trying to get into the new silver party, but we know of several who have “cooked their goose" by advising it. The National Watchman publishes the constitution of the United States, but it’s no one plank affair. Perhaps that is the reason we see no editorial indorsement of it in the Watchman. The single planters are hedging. They claim now that they don’t want the Omaha platform "broadened.” It’s funny how the people can bring the would-be bosses to time when they stick to the text. If the courts keep on showing up the defections (?) in the constitution as they have been doing there is a bare possibility that the people will rise up some day and overthrow both the constitution and the courts. The new silver party is ready to hitch on to either one of the two old parties that will give them free silver, and some people are foolish enough to want to turn the People’s party over to the new silver party. Hector D. Lane, president of the Cotton Protective association, says he has no confidence in these third party movements —that they never accomplish anything. Mr. Lane seems to forget that it was a third party that licked the stuffin’ out of the slave oligarchy. You can send one hundred pounds of newspapers from New York to San Francisco by mail for one dollar; that is socialism. If you send it by express it will cost you ten dollars; that Is “private enterprise" controlling a public utility. Is Joseph Sibley a Populist? If not, why are some pretended Populists booming him for President? Is it because he has a “bar’l?” Come gentlemen, “fess up.” Joseph Sibley has never made any professions of being a Populist. Then why should the People’s party suppport him?

Cleveland’s salary as President, as well as the salaries of the Judges of the Supreme court, are said to be exempt from the income tax. In fact, it is said, the Supreme court has made so many rents in the law by its late decision, that many persons will easily slip through the meshes. As other suits are others will be brought to test the law, and the fact that the ultimate fate of the law tremble in' the balance. Is it not a grand government that permitß four or five men on the Supreme bench to over ride congress and the people? In the argument of James £. Carter before the Supreme court of the United States in support of the income tax law he made the remarkable utterance that if this law of congress was not sustained it might precipitate a social revolution in this country. This utterance on this occasion is significant of several things—prominent among spread feeling of disrespect for or a which is the fact that it reflects a widelack of confidence in that august body called the Supreme court, and the fact that the audacity of the attorney who dared give utterance to what was intended as a threat or intimidation of the court was not rebuked shows the lack of dignity that once characterized that body, and that its present members share to some extent the feelings of the people in their opinions of themselves. The people are coming to look upon our present judicial system as altogether farcical. Take the legal tender decisions and the late decision of the Supreme court on the income tax law as samples. In less than one year the country was presented with two decisions upon the legal tender qualities of the greenback by the Supreme court of the United States —the first against and the latter sustaining the greenback as a legal tender. The income tax law during the war was sustained as entirely within the scope of the constitution, but in the late decision upon the new income tax law, it is torn in shreds and many provisions rejected on the grounds of being in conflict with the constitution. The late decision came from an evenly divided court. Justice Field rules against the whole law as unconstitutional, while Justice White sustains it as a whole. The court stood four to fourjustice Jackson’s health not permitting him to sit in the case. “When doctors disagree who shall decide?” is an old saying that will apply to our Supreme court.

It also fully defines all the known diseases the presence of which warrants the establishment of a quarantine.

Marquette, Mich., April 30.—The opening of navigation here yesterday was the signal for a fierce and decisive contest between the local ore trimmers and outsiders brought down from lshpeming and Negaunee by the three men who say they have contracts with the Vessel Owners’ association to trim boats here.
