Ind.

Populism does not consist of anything less than the declarations in the Omaha platform. Plates are being engraved at Washington now for another bond issue to be floated “ after the elections.” lowa populists estimate their vote at the coming election at 75,000 to 100,000. The prairies of the state are illuminated with populist enthusiasm. One week from next Tuesday and the momentous ’‘off year” election in many states will be over. The Pilot predicts unexpected gains in all the states for the people’s party. The feeling throughout the whole country is for an early national convention. It is evident that the old parties will want a short campaign and the shorter the better. The populist campaign being one of education have nothing to gain by waiting. Will any one deny that the next move of the administration will be to destroy the few remaining greenbacks and turn them into interest bearing bonds, which in turn will be used as collateral to borrow national bank notes of the government at one per cent, or the half of one per cent, per annum?

Think of it friends, the money lenders of Europe are actually begging for silver bonds at as low a rate of interest as we are able- to float our gold bonds. Mexico is running her own financial system absolutely independent of Europe and is paying off her national debt instead of increasing it, as this country is doing. It does the heart good to see the solid sledge hammer blows that brother Henry Vincent is dealing the enemies of good government through that great reform paper, Sound Money, published by General Coxey at Massillon, Ohio. That a merciful Providence might raise up a thousand such powerful arms to overwhelm the “classes” that are to-day responsible for the unjust laws that are grinding American producers of actual wealth into helpless pauperism on the one hand, and building collossal fortunes for an idle aristocracy on the other hand. Henry works, he works not only for himself but for humanity, and d—d be the man that don’t. He that receives his livelihood by the sweat of another man’s brow is worse than a felon.

Henry Vincent Scores Carlisle.

Our democratic friends informed us when Carlisle was made secretary of the treasury, that now we had a cabinet officer with a free silver record, who would not bow the knee to the Wall street bankers. The last three years has demonstrated that he is morh of a traitor to the welfare of American prosperity than was ever Benedict Arnold or Aaron Burr. So completely has he allowed the cutthroat and robber bankers of the country to control him; that we doubt not that history will class him with John Sherman and Cleveland, the chief trio of Arch Devils and traitors of the universe.—Sound Money.

Franchises Must Not Be Granted.

Oh, it is coming, and municipal ownership is blazing the way for state and government ownership. Recently a petition signed by 1,000 voters, and 35 ft. long, was presented to the board of public affairs at Springfield, in this state, requesting that the city build and control its own electric lighting plant. The time is not far distant when the members of city councils will not dare to grant franchises to corporations to supply the people with water works, gas, electric lighting plants, and give the use of the streets for street railways.— Sound Money, Massillon, Ohio.

Keep the good work going. Honest men make honest money. The people will never surrender. Somebody’s going to get run over. The people’s party has the right of way. Puncture the lies, and the liars will die. Down with the red flag—of the sheriff sale. If the United States can’t make money, who can? Smoke the yellow-jackets out of the capital building. The “Monroe doctrine is to be upheld” —by the tail. Hang the syndicate that held up Uncle Sam for >10,000,000. The coming session of congress will be the biggest farce on record. The democratic party appears to have assassinated the angel of harmony. The end of the world is about due, There are “wars and rumors of war.” When the democratic party gets through fighting “within the party” there won’t be much of it left. The administration of President Cleveland is endorsed by the leaders of both old parties and their English owners. » The republican papers are • already beginning to beg the people not to expect anything of the next session of congress. The New York democrats declare for the retirement of the greenbacks. The howl of the yellow (gold) dogs is growing bolder. There is one good thing the republican congress can do, if it will —investigate the bond deal by which the treasury has been robbed. Lord! Lord! And now Colonel Willy 1 C. Pollard Breckenridge has been called to save his party in Kentucky. Better try a dose of skunk oil. Governor Culbertson, of Texas, will probably whip both of the renowned pugilists before the contest is over. He proposes to enforce the law. The gold-bug democrats refuse to vote for a free silver ticket —but silver democrats always vote the ticket straight, no matter who is nominated.

The gold bugs will soon discover that there is an over-production of education among the people. And the learned financiers now in office will be too cheap to skin. The bonds of matrimony are taking gold to Europe faster than the bonds of infamy can bring it back. Miss Vanderbilt has bought a title and thrown dn her person as a bonus. Only thirty out of the 244 republicans in the congress which meets in December are in favor of free coinage. Yet more than half of the 244 were elected by pretending to be silver men. The Knights of Labor are boycotting National Bank notes. The Knights of Labor believe in every principle advocated by the People’s Party. Populists should join them in their fight. If the gold bugs win they will foreclose their mortgage on the United States, the few thousand millionaires will move to Europe, and let the “blarsted, bloody Americans” howl for “home rule” just as Ireland is doing. An Arkansas editor says of his state: “We have mountains so high that you can tickle the feet of the free silver angels in heaven, and gorges so deep that you can descend to their base and hand down ice to the gold bugs in the infernal regions.”

Make No Mistake.

In selecting your candidates for office, do not be afraid of offending even our own people. All reformers are not not qualified for positions. Put in the best men, and the more radical the better. Do not nominate a milk-and-water reformer. Such, should they be elected, will injure the cause. Never mind the howls of the monopoly about anarchists. The reform movement is under obligations to no man. Whenever a man thinks he is entitled to a mountain it is proof sufficient that he should be shelved. Don’t expect your candidates to “put up.” If a man will sacrifice his time he should not be allowed to spend money. No victory is worth much until the people are educated to know what will benefit them. Defeat for a principle is better than a victory by compromise and fusion. It is not the right spirit for candidates to make getting elected the object—educating the people is the object.—Coming Nation.

America's Corse of Judges

England, with a population of 30,000,000, has only 32 judges, or one judge for every 910,625 of population, while New York, with a population of 7,000,000, has 140 judges, or one judge for every 50,000 of population, and Illinois, with a population of 4,000,000, has 178 judges, or one for every 22,472 of population. All the states are similarly burdened with the judge curse. Fully 75 per cent of them are mere jack-leg lawyers who manage to make fortunes of various dimensions by an investment of brains that excites universal decision.—Khr

RECORD OF A CHANCE.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PROMISED IF OIVEN POWER. And Jtut Look What They Did with It —They Revelled in Wild, SUotoaa Work —They Voted Themselvea Money and Put Debt on the People. When out of power the democrats denounced monopolies and trusts. They branded gold bugs and condemned the republican party for demonetizing silver in 1873. They declared they would not have permitted these things if they had been in power. They begged for a “chance” to undo these wrongs. The people decided to give them a "chance.” In 1892 they put the party in powerdemocratic president, a democratic senate, a democratic house. The party was in absolute control. . What did they do with that “chance?” When the vote came up in the house in Aug. 1893, it resulted as follows: For free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, yeas, 124; pays 227. For free coinage at the ratio of 17 to 1, yeas 100; nays 240. For free coinage at the ratio of 18 to 1, yeas 102; nay* 239. For free coinage at the ratio of 19 to 1, yeas 104; nays 238. For free coinage at the ratio of 20 to 1, yeas 121; nays 222. For re-enactment of the Bland-Alli-son bill, yeas 136; nays 213. For the repeal of the Sherman law, yeas 240; nays 110. The above is the vote. There is no dodging that question. The house was democratic by over 80 majority. The free silver democrats had the assistance of all the populists and about fifteen republicans. Yet a “majority of the democrats voted against silver.” Voted down the only silver law we had. Voted the thing in a shape where Cleveland’s veto would kill all future silver legislation during his administration. Voted to put this club in his hands and now abuse him for using it. It was a surrender to Wall street — not of Cleveland (for he had already surrendered) but of the democratic party that claimed to be the friend of the people. On every vote recorded above the majority that were cast against silver were democratic votes. Let the people of the south remember this. Let them point to their record. Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s.

Cleveland has done just what any well informed person expected he would do. Just what he recommended in two of his former messages. But the democratic party did not. It violated its promises. It cannot escape the responsibility. Here are the facts. The democratic politicians said: “boys give us a ‘chance’ and we’ll do all these things you want us to do, and undo the things we have denounced the republican party for doing.” The “boys” gave them the chance. What is the record ? They demonetized silver. They increased their salaries. They favored the national banks. They issued bonds in time of peace. They have not demolished the trusts. They have not redeemed their promises. They have quarreled among themselves. They put raw materials made by the farmer and laborer on the free list, and gave the manufacturer greater protection than before. In the midst of the greatest distress this country has seen, they voted to increase their own salaries and refused to do anything for the people. They did not vote to increase the amount of money, but voted to decrease it. What patriot can endorse this record? v There is only one free silver party, and it is the people’s party. A vote for that party is a vote for free silver. A vote for either qf the old parties, or any one that acts with them, is a vote for Wall street, because Wall street controls both. Let patriots get together and do it quickly or this government is lort. — Caucasian, Raleigh, N. C.

WHY FRANCE IS SOUND.

To Discriminate Against Her Money Is Treason. A great many people wonder why France is financially so prosperous. One of the reasons is that she is patriotic —and stands up for France. In a late case before a French court a creditor had sued on a note payable in gold, and the court held the provision void, on the ground that one sort of money issued by France was as good as another, and to discriminate in favor of either one was a conspiracy to injure the government and its credit, and that the debtor has the right to pay in anything issued by law as money. That doctrine —a sound and patriotic one—if enforced in this country, would bring Secretary Carlisle up with a round turn. There are no “fifty-cent” depredators allowed in France —a •fivefranc piece being as much money as a napoleon. France makes her own money and makes any attempt to discredit it even in contracts a conspiracy at law. No wonder France is prosperous, as her lawmakers and her courts are as patriotic as her people. No high officers of state are there engaged in depreciating the money issued for the use of her people, It is morally a crime in the United States and ought to be held an offense at law by our own courts—possibly will be some day.— Kansas City Journal.

On Top of Old Lookout.

To the Editor of the People’s Pilot. While 1 write I am on the summit of Lookout mountain, 1600 feet above the city, Chattanooga. The scenery is very nice, though smoky to-day, and I cannot see very far. The landlord of the large hotel located here informs me that on a clear day it is possible to see 75 miles east and that parts of seven states are within the reach of the eye. The Tennessee river flows at the foot of the mountain. The incline of the and electric road is 4500 feet long in rising the 1600 feet and the car seemed to be standing on end part of the time. The mountains are numerous and are a great deal farther away than they appear. Should like to remain here a month. A train going into the city looks like a toy. The great battlefield is visible from here. More anon. J. P. Overton. Oct., 19, 1895.

A Scientifle Farmer.

Alfred Donnelly, just north of town, hks this year fully demonstrated she adaptability of our low muck lands to truck farming. One day last week it was our pleasure to inspect his cellars and propuce bins, groaning and bursting with the newly stored crop. Two hundred bushels of potatoes, of some six or eight varieties, he now has safely housed. As a venture he this year planted from the seed 1| acres of onions, and his returns are over 400 bushels of as fine onions as we ever saw. Mr. Donnelly’s farm a few years ago was a low wet marsh, covered with cattail, flags and muskrat houses, but by hard labor he has drained it, and by intelligently experimenting, he has found how this kind of soil can be made to bring better returns than any other lands in the county. Those who have such lands can not expect to meet with the same success Mr. Donnelly has unless they pursue their work systematically and intelligently as he has done.

Soil is not every thing; it is only half in the raising of any crop. We are talking of building monuments to men’s memories, or naming sand hills and huckle berry patches for them because they have made successful land ventures in the county, but how shall we honor him who by manual toil, hard study, and experimental farming has shown us the great capabilities of the soil we once thought so worthless?

Mr. Donnelly’s farm and growing crops for the last three years have been very closely watched by those interested in low muck lands. It is said that there has been scarcely a day since the middle of June but what passers have hitched their teams and gone into Donnelly’s field to get some new pointers on “taters” and “ingings.” What this gentleman has so successfully done on forty or fifty acres can, with, the same labor intelligently applied, be done on hundreds of other forties and fifties of just such land in Jasper county —lands that are now lying uncultivated and worthless. Two thousand and two hundred bushels of potatoes and over 400 bushels onions on acres of ground, this unfavorable year for such crops, is something to brag about.— Neighbor.
