Attention Indiana Populists.
To the Voters of the P ople’s Party: By direction, and under the authority of the state central committee of the People’s party of Indiana, a state convention will be held at Indianapolis, commencing on Tuesday, the 28th day of July, 1896, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the several state offices, and the selection of presidential electors at large, for the approaching campaign. The basis of representation for delegates to said convention has been fixed by the state committee as follows: One delegate for each township in the state and an additional delegate for every one hundred votes and such major fraction thereof, cast for Dr. C. A Robinson for secretary of state in 1894. It is recommended that- such delegates be selected at county, rather than township conventions. The time and place for holding county con veil lious for the selection of the delegates herein provided for is left to the discretion of the several county committees. All persons who are di.ssat.is fled with the servility and cor ruption of the two old parties are cordially invited to participate with the Peoples party in such conventions, and in support of the candidates to be nominated at our state, district and other conventions. We welcome all persons who believe that the interests of the people are above and beyond party lines, and who are unwilling to wear party labels when such party has abandoned the principles which were the original basis of its birth and formation. N. T. Butts, Chairman. 8. M. Shepard, Sec’y. Reform papers please copy.
Free Silver Mexico.
"The free coinage law of Mexico has driven gold out of circulation and given the people of that country aoO-centdollar. Free and unlimited coinage of silver in the United States would produce a like disastrous result to our nation's financial interests.and while a free coinage law will greatly benefit the silver mine owners, the farmers and laborers of the country would be the first victims of the cheap money system." The above from the Winamac Democrat-Journal isafairsample of the gold standard education that is being dished up to the credulous public. Now’ note these facts, reader: Mexico is a silver producing country and patriotically uses the product of her silver mines for money. What gold her people produce they sell for export; they have no use for gold; silver pays their taxes, pays their debts, and buys every article they need for consumption. The nation is practically free from debt, so are the states, cities and individuals, and prosperity today is manifest throughout the whole country. There are no panics in Mexico and private failures are few. The people as a rule own their homes, and it is a strange custom that in many homes are constantly kept provision stores to last for three years, thus providing against famine, sickness and other disaster. There practically are no paupers in the whole country, and people, though industrious and frugal, take life easily and are perhaps the most contented and happy nation on earth. The Mexican silver dollar will buy as much todav of all commodities as it would years ago when it was at par with the American dollar. The only two things that have increased materially in value under their standard has been land aind labor, though both are still very cheap. But it must be remembered that in Mexico the laborer does not require nearly so much to maintain himself as in the United States. The habits of the people are different, their wants are fewer and simpler and the climate is favorable to cheap living. But there are no destitute unemployed, though really an over supply of labor, which is happily becoming less every year, as new enterprises are being developed aind the country developed. And this in Mexico, constantly being referred to as an example of free coinage disaster. That such dis-1

aster might befall our own unhappy country, which is today unable to keep its precious gold from disappearing, though it borrows by the hundreds of millions of dollars. It is the verriest rot to talk about the farmers a,nd laborers being victims of a cheap money system. It. is the money loaner, the owner of the mortgages, tho salaried official, the man of fixed income w ho is doing the kicking. Under the present system of shrinking values, as measured by the “dear” gold dollar, his income is constantly becoming more valuable as it will buy more of the products of labor; under free coinage of silver and consequent currency expansion, the farmer will the easier pay off his debts, the merchant will be able to pay his over due accounts as his debtors will be in shape to pay him, everywhere the thrill of reviving business and enterprise will call the labor of the land to action; wages will advance in keeping with the demand for labor; the mines will resume their activities aud once more the products of the farm will be sent to the mountains. True the Mexican dollar is worth but fifty cents of our gold standard money but then the cotton taiser gets 14c for his inferior crop while our planters gets from 5c to 7c. The Mexican pays 9c in silver to raise a pound of coffee and gets 21c in gold for it. He gets a dollar for wheat, and all other crops iu proportion. He pays 2c and 3c a mile for railroad travel and proportionately for freight. Taxes are no higher than they always have been.
The Chicago Chronicle of last Saturday in an article on the silver vote in- the coming democratic national convention gave seventeen states and territory as solid for “honest money,” not one of which went democratic at the last election. It gave twenty-two states and territories as solid for silver; eight of which are or were democratic at last" account. It gave teq states as doubtful; three of wbibh by the figures of the last election are democratic. According to the Chronicle’s own count every democratic state and territory in the upjop excepting three, are solid for silver and the excepted three it classes as doubtful. The
Chronicle expects the republican states of the east to furnish the democratic platform at Chicago. These are queer figures coming from a democratic gold bug paper. The summary of the Chronicle’s count is: “For honest money, 400 Silver 16 to 1, 272 Doubtful or straddling, 234.”
A Perplexing Question.
A gold bug Washington correspondent characterizes as a “plot” the determination <sf the silver forces to so strenthen the People’s party in the coming campaign as to make the election of a president impossible outside the house of representatives. That succeeding he gives the following figures t© show that an election there might be impossible: Sound money Republicans-Con-necticut, Delaware, Illinois, Ind- £, lowa, Kansas. Maine, Massatetts, Michigan, Minnesota, souri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York. Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin—22. Silver—California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, North Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming—11. Democratic—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia. Kentucky, Louisiana. Mississippi, South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas, Virginia—11. Maryland is omitted from the foregoing enumeration, its delegation being a tie. The result would not be changed no matter if it should be left out or each side given half a vote. The constitution provides that in the event of a failure of the electoral college to electa presi dent and a vice president by a majority vote, the house of representatives shall immediately ballot for a president, each state being entitled to one vote, a majority of the whole number of states being necessary to elect, as the prospect is flattering of a silver bolt at St. Louis, the silver leaders hav.e convinced themselves that the salvation of their faction depends upon making,, the play. They are thoroughly convinced that the sentiment of their respective states will support them in any movement they may inaugurate

to compel recognition at the hands of one or both of the great parties. One of the four senators who voted against taking up the house tariff bill, and who is recognized as the brainiest man in the silver group, explained the position he and his colleagues were preparing themselves to take in this matter in the following vigorous manner. “We who represent the great region west of the Missouri have threatened to adopt radical measures in defense of otlr constituencies so often and have yielded so often to party dictation that our talk has ceased to have any effect on our so-called sound-money associates. “We have surrendered everything and have received nothing, and we have made up our minds that the only way that we can force consideration is to stand out against all the tariff legislation or currency legislation and not give way an inch, no matter how strong a pressure may be brought to bear upon party policy. We have fully determined to prevent tariff or currency legislation, not only in this cqngress, but in every congress so-long as we hold the balance .of power, until silver secures the recognition that it is entitled to and the people are given what they ask for. The far western and mountain states have little to gain by the proposed tariff bill. We are asked to support the measure in order to give the republican party a platform in the campaign, but there is absolutely nothing in it for us. It simply confers upon the eastern and middle states additional protection, which we of the west do not think they need, and give us 15 per cent additional on nothing, for we have nothing that can be benefitted by this proposed increase. “The arrangement is entirely too jug-handled for us,, and we could not look our constituents in the face if we submitted to the imposition. You can state, therefore, as a positive fact that until silver is given recognition there is absolutely no prospect of tariff legislation. If all of the four republican senators who voted against taking up the tariff measure last week should change front their places would be taken by others. “The issue is one that admits of no compromise. The fight
will be carried from congress into the convention, and if we are ignored there a bolt will follow as sure as fate. We may not be able to change the result by throwing the election into the house, but we will produce an impression that will give us a fixed standing in future congresses and party calculations. We have tried the old way until we are worn out. Defeat and humiliation have been our reward for party fidelity, and we have had enough of it. “I am aware that the great leaders east of the Mississippi are inclined \o look upon this talk as the wild ravings of ‘silver cranks,’ but they will discover their mistakes later on if thej persist in giving us the treatment that has been accorded us during the last five years. The situation is serious, and we are only moved to adopt what we consider heroic measures for our self-preservation as a last desperate effort.”
