Peoples Party Convention.

Members of the peoples party are requested to meet at their usual places of meeting in the several townships of Jasper county March 21, 1896, at 2 o’clock p. m., for the purpose of electing a chairman for each precinct and perfect ing the precinct organization as was done about two years ago. The precinct chairmen then selected will constitute the county central committee, and will meet at the Nowels House in Rensselaer, March 28, 1896. for the purpose of perfecting the county organization, setting time for holding of nominating convention, and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. J. A. McFarland, Chm’n. L. Strong, Sec.

Important Notice.

The several county chairmen of the people’s party of ihe Tenth congressional district of Indiana will please report to me the names and postoffice address of the officers of their county organization, including the township chairmen, to aid in perfecting a general organization of the whole district. F. D. Craig, Chm’n. Tenth Cong. Dist. Rensselaer, Ind., Feb. 27, ’96.

Let’er comet. Business failures continue to increase. ========= I There is but one free silver party and that is the peoples party. _________ of greenbacks unlawfully lore in toe treasury vaults.

The president threatens an extra session of congress to destroy the greenback.

Nearly a billion of idl6 money now in national treasury. All should be in the channels of trade.

Now that the farmer has been forced to sell his oats and corn the prices are a little, very little better.

The battle of the populists this year is not for a balance of power in the electoral college but for a majority.

Will Tillman desert his party if it repudiates silver at Chicago? He savs he will, but then he said the same thing four years ago.

A restaurant in New York that charges one cent fora meal feeds from 1.000 to 1,500 people per day. There are other restaurants that charge S2O a plate.

The clothing cutters big strike is on in Chicago. It was precipitated by the employing manufacturers demanding that their employees sever tt eir connection with the union.

The standing of the United States senate until March 4, 1897, is now settled as follows: Republicans. 44; Democrats, 39; Populists, 6; with one seat from Delaware vacant.

In over half of the states the populists are either the first or second party in strength, and they go into the fight this year with hopeful hearts of winning victory for their candidates.

Reformers, be cautions; do not be too hasty to entrust the leadership of your forces to those who have hesitated until the very hour of success before espousing the cause of reform.

Not even the wicked extravagance of the nobility that rode down the poor in the streets of Paris just before the rule of he Jacobins, equals the reckless waste of funds by the Washington government today. $105,000 is the bill for flowers alone paid by the secretary of agriculture used by the president and his cabinet in a single year.

The congressional bar is the living disgrace of our government. It is located in immediate proximity of chambers in connection with the restaurant and has caused the downfall of many bright men.

Al! business undertakings are at very great disco'unt at the present time in the judgment of capitalists, thus their willingness to loan to the government at three per cent several times as much as is asked for.

If tee Cubans continue in their wild career a few weeks longer thei-e will be a wonderful demand for American tobacco. Tobacco may be the only profitable crop raised this year, at ieast the prospect is good now.

The growth of the peoples party is making from the rank and file of both the old parties, and very little gain may be expected from the free silver office holders who so loudly make their demands in halls of congress.

An honest congress would at once try President Cleveland for impeachment for the unlawful retirement of $285,000,000 of greenbacks, thus intensifying the money stringency of the country with all its consequent distress.

The woods are ful I of as astute statesmen as grace (digrace) the halls of congress, and when they shall be called to serve their country, they will do It with clean hands and patriotic hearts, and their acts will be the acts of honest men.

Cleveland has retired $285,000,000 of the greenbacks and stacked them up in the treasury. Now add $100,000,000 more of gold piled up as a reserve and you have $375,000,000.00 taken out of circulation. That is contraction with a vengeance, and amid a universal cry from the people for more money. Oh. but we forgot $100,000,000 of silver, the seignorage, for which no certificates have been issued. It lies idle in big vaults and and should be coined into dollars! All of this $485,000,000 should be performing its natural function of paying debts and exchanging commodities.

The contest case of Thomas E. Watson, soon to be submitted to the congressional jury, isbothering Mr. Black very much, and it is believed he expects to be unseated. Mr. Watson is spending thousands of dollars in preparing his case.

Such old fossils as Senator Morrill of Vermont are being rapidly supplanted by progressive young and middle-aged men. The drivel of Morrill, now past eighty-five years old, ispostively childish. He has not had a modern though in twenty years.

The fact that the late bonds were taken at an interest rate of three per cent and less is a sure sign that the business enterprises of the country are in distress. No man would take three per cent for his money if he could get five, six or ten per cent in legitimate business.

General Weyler has seen fit to send two cable dispatches to the United States denying that he has yet commenced executions under his recent manifestos. Sensible people will credit his denial precisely as they do his daily reports of victory over the insurgents.

The National Farmers Alliance at its annnal meeting held in Washington the first part of this mouth eliminated the famous sub-treasury plan from its demands. The organization has grown some during the year, and about twenty states were represented at the meeting.

The interests of the people will be best conserved by selecting a Cincinnatus who will leave his plow to lead the reform forces on to victory, and be the contest local or national, he but awaits the call to rise above the environs of honest growth and assert the mighty power of a patriotic heart.

The populists of Georgia have at last taken heart from the prospect of Watson’s winning his contest, and, though having been repeatedly cheated out of their victories by fraud, will take hold of the coming campaign with a vigor that will succeed in spite of democrats corruption and fraud.

Populists should take very little stock in such silver men as Crisp, Money and Tillman. These men have made the same fuss in the past as at present, but despite all their threats at “walking out” of the old party they still support the old party. They are politicians in the old party sense.

Cleveland has contracted the money of this country $385,000,000 .through his several bond sales. Every dollar of bonds sold represents a greenback dollar retired. The gold bug press even predicts the actual withdrawal, in like manner, of the entire greenback circulation. And all this in absolute violation of law.

Let every man who desires to have a better system of laws, and better times, remember that only by correct information can other men be made aware of the cause and remedy for existing conditions, and it is the duty of every reformer to see that his neighbors are afforded requisite opportunity to become thoroughly informed.

There are reports circulating that the mints are running again on silver dollars. True. But what silver is it that is being coined? Why, simply a little of the silver that was bought with silver certificates in the past, and not a dollar of new silver. For every dollar coined a silver certificate is taken and destroyed. The mints are being started simply to fool the people, and is a part of the big straddle plan of campaign.

Brother populists, have the courage of your convictions and go into the fight this year to win. You may think the odds against us now is great, but you do not know the secret thought of your neighbor who has always voted against us; he is receiving practical illustrations of old party prosperity; may he not even now be thinking hard? May not the possibility of success draw to our cause the thousands who have stood back because “there was mo show” in the past? Talk with your neighbors and see if the leaven of revolt from the old parties is not working? Begin the work now and perserve until election day.

The widow of the late Senator Hearst of California recently gave a singer SI,OOO to render a few songs at one of her social events. She allowed her hus band’s funeral expenses to be paid by the government and the bill was $21,000. To the credit of Mrs. Stanford,* be it said that she would not allow her husband to be buried at public expense.

The Congressional Bar-room.

In speaking of the bar-room located under the house of representatives for the use of members, Tom Watson says: “If that bar-room were driven out of the building the temptation to weak congressmen would not be so great. Facility leads to crime. The very fact that the tempting drink is so close by, so convenient, melts the resistance of many a member who would never walk back in to the city for a drink. The very fact that the bar is run as a part of the congressional restaurant,is screened from public view, is easy of access, and offers choice companionship as well as concealment, makes the pitfall the more peril ous. “Mr. Preacher—you who lecture your congregation so often on the sacred duties of going to church and paying your salary how much have you done to arouse public indignation against this national disgrace of the congressional bar-room? How many times have your brethren in Washington preached against it? How many times has the chaplain of the house, or the chaplain of the senate, prayed to the Most High God to blast with his divine wrath the abomination’s which those chaplains knew to exist within sixty feet of where they prayed? “He is dead. Appoint your funeral committee to escort the lifeless body back to his home; furnish tnis committee with plenty to eat and drink and to smoke on their doleful journey; appropriate from the common treasury the money to pay for the burial; endow the widow with the salary for the “unexpired term.” “Do all this, Solons of this Christian Republic!—and then go back and tell your congressional bar-room to kill another one.”
