Bonds are unnecessary. “Primary money” is a delusion. • “Money of ultimate redemp lion” is a fraud. Money is absolute money or it is not money in its true sense. The only true redemption of mouey is its acceptance by the government for taxes and dues. Mexico, tiie silver basis republic on our southern border, was never so prosperous as now. “Primary money” and “money of ultimate redemption” is exactly what all money should be, regardless of what material it is made.' The tremendous home commerce of the people cannot be accomplished with the present shrinking voiume of money, and the result is business stagnation and appalling failures. The plea that the United States should adoj t the gold standard because the leading nations of Europe have done so. is the same old Tory argument that a republican form of government is wrong because the same leading nations of Europe are monarchies. Any , money that has a commercial value equal to its legal tender vaiue is unsafe and dan gerous id depend upon, as it is liable at any time to leave the country as commodity and be co iverted info the coins of other; realms, thus p|o% its use ibr t«e trajjhsactjpa of bpsinc&i.

Silver Speeches.
Hou. W. W. Gilman will speak next week at the following places: Monday at Fair Oaks, Tuesday at Kniman, Wednesday at Wheattield, Thursday at <PeMotte, Friday at McCoysburg, Saturday at Center School in Gillam. At each of these meetings a free silver league will be organized.
It, is not silver simply that is needed in fair Columbia to relieve her struggling children of their distress; it is more money, and it matters not whether it be made of the precious metals, endowed with the authority of law to pay debts, or whether it be o| paper having the same mighty mandate.
The Monticello Herald makes a special display of the silver law of Feb. 28, 1878, heading the same. “Silver dollars are a full letral tender.” Unfortunately, the law does not justify any such assertion, as there is an exception clause invalidating the full legal tender quality, making them a legal tender only when not otherwise specified in the contract, and your note at the batik, your farm mortgage due to the insurance corporations of the east, and. perhaps, even the rent on the farm you cultivate, are payable in gold, not in sil ver.
The dollar is not the gold or silver coin, but the law itself which endows it with power to legally pass from man to man and from citizen ta government in the payment of debt. As an illustration the trade dollar is in familiar evidence; at first that extra large coin was a limited legal tender and would pay debts at par to the amount of $5; after ward the law was withdrawn and it would not pay debts of any amount, though the coin was just as large; still later law was again put behind it and it was worth as much as any other dollar.
It is the duty of every believer in the principles of the People’s party to sustain the action of the St. Louis convention. If a mistake has been made this year in holding the national convention late, and thus allowing the demo era-tic party to promulgate a plat form in some essentials in harmony with populism, and to nom inate a candidate who is a populist in principle far above the platform of his party, it is a mis take that cannot be remedied now. And if the People's party is to be perpetuated for the accomplishment of those most vital reforms, through which only can perfect prosperity be restored to the land, then must its faithful defenders stand by the nominees of that convention, not one of those nominees, but both of them. The result of the election this fall will in no way a if- ct she disruption of the magnificent party of reform, 2,000, 000 strong, that has been crystal izod into definite organization through twenty years of patriotic effort. Though it may be true that silver is the great issue being discussed in this campaign it is also true that the study of that branch of the money question leads on to a fuller understanding of the whole financial problem, with the result that converts are constantly being made populist position of an absolute money, gold, silver and paper of limited amount, all full legal tender for all purposes public and private,all redeemable in the revenues of the govern- * ment. no dollar to be based up°n or redeemable in any other dollar.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND.. THURSDAY. AUGUST 20, 1896. - . i i
At last, after twenty years of tireless effort, the mighty union of the classes against the masses has been accomplished, and the oft repeated prediction that the republican and democratic parties would unite against the people is conclusively proven by the rallying of the money power, regardless of mythical old party lines, to the support of McKinley. By the successful revolt of the rank and file of the democratic party, and their establishment of a new order of things in their camp the forces of plutocracy, that have so long dominated both old parties and confused their partison followers for years, have been forced to throw off their sheeps clothing and stand forth the true wolves that they are.
We publish below a very pecular address from Hon. Ulric Z. Wiley, judge of the 30th judicial circuit, which translated into plain political language reads thusly: “I have a job now at $2500 per year which does not expire for over a year, and I want to be sure of a better thing before I give it up. I am verv much afraid that this free silver craze will make my election to the appellate judgeship a little dubious, though I am very anxious to get the $3750 salary attached; it would enable me to give my friends wine suppers more frequently. Of course I don’t want Gov. Matthews to appoint any one to fill a vacancy in the circuit judgship, but I prefer that such be the result, than that I relinquish my chances for the appellate plum, sol think I’ll neither resign my office nor my nomination.” To the electors of the 3oth Judicial Circuit; At the Republican State Convention, 1 was nominated for Appellate J udge for the sth judicial district. From the very day of my nomination up to the present, much speculation has been inbeen said by private and interested parties, as 10 whether or not I intended to resgn my present position as judge of the 30th jutdicial circuit. Up to this time 1 have remained silent, because 1 did uot dee.. it necessary or proper to make any public statement as to my indulged in by the public press, and much lias tentions in regard to the matter but now m view of the fact that one political party has nominated a candidate for circuit judge, and another party has issued an omcial call for a con vention to nominate the candidate. 1 deem it proper to make tlie following state- " The term of office for which I was elected will not expire until November 14. 1898, and lienee I am under no legal or moral obligations to vacate my office by resignation; nut in view of my candidacy for appellate judge on the state ticket, and to the end chat the eleciors may have the opportunity of choosing by their ballots my successor on the circuit beach, it is my present Intention to resign as circuit, judge, to take effect at some date prior to the election. Certain conditions and circumstances wholly of a personal character, may however arise, between now and the election, which may render it necessary for me to changa my resent intention of resigning, and in which event I would expect to serve out my term on the circuit bench for w liicii the people elected me. Respectfully. Uliuu Z. Wiley.
Peoples Party News Bureau. j Headquarters National Ex. Com. v St. Louis, Mo. Aug. Id. ) After putting up a straight Bryan and Watson ticket of electors the Popultsts of Louisiana authorized the state executive committee to m h changes as action of the national executive committee might make necessary. The platform of the People’s party of Texas contains several ideas new to declared Populism, including a demand that all notes and other securities shall be rendered for taxation, and when secured upon real estate then the real estate shall be exempt frofn taxation to the amount of said security. The platform also demands an eight hour work day for artisans and mechanics and an amendment to the vagrant laws that will prevent the pros ecutior as criminals of laborers while in enforced idleness, and coudems the placing of raw materials on the free list. The platform of Pennsylvania Populists favors fusion with the free -silver democrats, but threatens repudiation of the state democracy unless the seventeen gold men cm the electoral ticuet are taken down. J. T. Ailman. of Juniata county and J. P. Correli, of Easton, are the People’s party nominees for congressmen at large in Pennsylvania. The People's perry of West Virginia nominated for governor Isaa« Cox Raiplisnyder of Fairmount, the free silver democrat, who seems certain of nomination by his own party. The nomination of Raiplisnyder was op posed by Judge J. A. Steady. J. Edd Leslie, state chairman

Notes From the Front.
of the People's party of Pennsylvania, says; “The national leaders have a scheme to ‘dump’ both Sewal) and Watson. Joseph Sibley who refused the vicepresidential nomination at Chicago, will be agreed upon as a second place compromise. He has now made up his mind to accept and Watson is willing to quit if Sewall can be brought to see his duty. No information from any other source comes as yet to confirm the statements of Chairman Leslie. The democracy of Kentucky seems to be in sore need of Populist assistance to insure the success of the Bryan ticket in that state. Gold democrats are leaving the party by hundreds. In one county of the state 644 former democrats have signed a statement pledging themselves to vote the republican ticket. Logan Carlisle, son of Secretary Carlisle, is out in a statement publicly repudiating the democratic party. Populists of the Thirteenth Illinois district have nominated for congress Frank Palmer, of Clinton, who was previously nominated by the democrats. Noah Allen, the old chairman of the Kansas Farmers’ Alliance has been nominated for congress by the Populists of the Tenth Texas district, in which Galveston is located.
Dr. J. R. Borland, of Franklin, has been nominated for congress by the Populists of the Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania district. Populists of the First congressional district of West Virginia have nominated Thomas M. Stone, of Wetzel county for congress, f Senator Squire, of Washings ton, who has been one of the foremost republican leaders in the senate has publicly announced his intention of voting for Bryan. Senator W. A. Peffer, of Kansas, authorizes the statemant that he is a candidate for reelection. J. J. Sewall, of Marshall, has been nominated for congress by the Populists or the Nineteenth Illinois district.
The People’s party state executive committee of California • has by address endorsed the nomination of Bryan, but announces that it will have none of S<‘wuii. A committee has been appointed to confer witn the democrats to arrange an electoral ticket upon a basis of the p. upurtionate vote, the Populists electors to vote for Watson.
John R. Brunt the People’s party candidate in the Eighth congressional district of Indiana has been endorsed by the democrats. All employes of the Big Four railroad have received a long cir cular from M. E. Ingalls, president of the combany, “advising” them to vote for McKinley. S. F. Norton writes: At this writing nothing definite can be predicted. Our only hope is that such action will be taken that nine out of ten Populists can fe#l that the best course has been chosen.” He also says; I think that the Populists are all going to fall in line on Bryan all right The Texas men are still kicking, but they will no doubt all be in line. Bryan will accept the nomination.”
Jehu Baker, who, as a republican defeated William R. Morrison for congress in the Twentyfirst Illinois district, has been nominated this year by the Peo pie’s party, with which lie has been identified for several years. The democratic candidate in the district has withdrawn, being personally in favor of Baker, and it. is probable that no one will be but on the democratic ticket in his place. A full ticket of Bryan and, Watson electors has been put out by the Populists of Arkansas. Jerry Simpson has been renominated for congress by both' Populists and democrats *of the [ Seventh Kansas district. Engene V. Debs declares that j Indiana will go for Bryan by at i least 25,000. 1 j Georgia Populists have put a full state ticket in the field,
headed by Seaborn Wright for governor. The convention authorized the state central committee at any time that Arthur Sewall should be withdrawn from the democratic ticket to withdraw six Populist electors and place six democrats in their stead. Gold democrats will hold their national convention at Indianapolis, Sept. 2; for the purpose of putting a presidential ticket in the field. They have decided on the name “National Democratic” for their party. The democrats of the Twentysecond Illinois district have endorsed the candidacy;of Jqhn M. Hall, the People’s party nominee. Joseph H. Gage, of Houston, who is but 26 years old, has been nominated for congress by the Populists of the Fifth Texas district. The state ticket of the People’s party in Texas, as expected, is headed by Jerone C. Kearby for governor and H. S. P. Ashby for lieuteuant governor. At a Bryan ratification meeting recently held at Emporia. Kans, J. W. Leedy, the Populist candidate for governor, S. M. Scott, the People’s party candidate for congressman. Ed. C. Little, who, as a republican, held the post of consul to Egypt undei Harrison, and David Overmeyer, the last democratic candidate for governov, spoke from the same platform. Among the stumpers for the People’s party national ticket will be Miss Minerva Roberts, of Colorado, who created such a furore by her-beauty, logic and eloquence before the national convention. Hugo Preyer, state chairman of the People's party of Ohio, has issued an address warning the Popul’sts of each congressional district under no oircum-. stances to put up a deal whereby electors will vote for Sewall. In fusion with the democrats in Minnesota the People’s party will get the lieutenant governorship and the attorney-general ship and all of the electors save four. The official majority for Johnson, the dem’ocratic candidate for governor in Alabama is 41,889. Tweuty-or.e Populists will sit in the lower house and ten in the senate.
