The monomaniacs must go. Sv’apping dollars is not redemption. The gold monomania is worse than hydrophobia. England is at the bottom of the gold standard campaign. Every gold bug in this country is working for England. Genera] Coxey is a prophet not without honor in his own state. The “sound money" cry is only an echo from across the Atlantic. The republicans seem to be enjoying the situation, but their time will come next. Money at interest w son tne sabbath day. Say. isn’t unconstitutional? The Missouri d mocruts evidently believe in the free coinage of committeemen. All sincere and earne t free silver democrats can vote their sentiments in the people’s party. There are nearly 400 national bankers in the New York state prison. The gold mania is rapidly becoming localized.

The Union National Bank of Denver closed with $75,000 county funds in its pockets. More prosperity—for the bankers. Hardin, democratic candidate for governor of Kentucky, might get up a discussion with the platform on which he is running. Some of the wedges which plutocracy has been using to divide the people seem to have got turned and now threaten to divide the dividers. Some of the free silver democrats are building fences that will be hard for them to jump in order to get back Into the ranks of their party in 189 C. Funny that after the laborers have created the capitalists, these creatures should turn around and say that labor could not make a living without them. Why not let the big importers keep up a gold reserve in their own coffers for export, instead of holding a national gold reserve for their special accommodation.

Tex&s has more Populist voters and is the best organized of any state in the Union. They have no “my policies” down there but take the Omaha platform straight. Grover says, “life is one grand, sweet song.” Yes, if beginning by hanging men at SSO a head and ending by making millions out of the presidency is lite, it must be a “sweet song.” Most of the prominent democratic statesmen are now holding office and they don’t seem inclined to want to give it up for the uncertainty of being elected President on the democratic ticket. The easiest and most sensible way for the silver men to get together is to join the People's party, which has already two million organized and earnest free silver men ready to vote as they preach. The biography of John Sherman is the history and mystery of 30 years’ financial legislation in the United States —and unless the devil should turn state’s evidence, the full story will never be written. When the United States gets to the point where it cannot protect its own credit without the aid of a syndicate of bankers, isn’t it about time for the people to take charge of the government for a spell?

If such men as Bland and Morgan can succeed in preventing a stampede in their party by advocating free silver they will be satisfied whether they get it or not. and perfectly willing to try the same game over again in 1898. Tillman says he and his followers will bolt if the democratic party does not nominate a simon pure silver man. He said the same thing in 1892, but they didn’t do it. What we want now is to see the bolt and then we’ll believe it. It only requires a straw to show the direction of the wind. An old soldier at Topeka, Kas., who demanded gold on his pension check was ordered out of the bank. If the old soldiers would all demand gold, it would show them what kind of friends are the goldbugs. The democratic party is hopelessly involved. The gold wing of it is aiding , the republicans and the silver wing is acting as a recruiting agency for the People’s Party. The real fight is between the republicans and Populists, the democratic party representing nothing but dissension.
