Mr. Sewa'.l will withdraw. Silver is 661 cents per ounce. The gold standard for the bondholder. Silver as well as gold for the plovvholder. Tom Watson will be the next vice president. England wants the United States to adopt the single gold standard. Tne gold ..standard means an ever increasing purchasing power of the dollar. American money for America, and that means both gold and silver, and sufficient legal tender paper to do the business of the country. The greatest silver producing nation in the world is America, the output being nearly half of the entire total. Why not be Americans and use this American product of American la bor instead of borrowing English gold? The republican state chairman of Texas has announced that the republicans will fuse with the populists on stnte tick ei. That will mean that they will support, for lieutenant governor, ‘-Stump” Ashby, whom some of Jasper county’s simon pure republicans said should not be allowed to speak in the court house park at Rensselaer. i' ' ; Chairman Jones who recently told the southern populists to go back to their niggers, is call ing to the Texas populists to “hold on”. He has discovered

that he needs Texas, and Georgia and Alabama and Tennessee and North Carolina and several other states; and he has also discovered that he can’t get them unless he puts Tom Watson on the democratic ticket as he agreed to do.

Now is the time to buy your solid silver spoons, you of the phat bank account, they are going up, and up, and away up; the set of “sterling’ - silver spoons that can be had now for $3.25 will be worth $6 in November. A few of us, however, wil: continue to stir up our black coffee and eat our oat meal porridge with the familiar product of the American tin plate industry, English made.

Does the dollar purchase enough or your oats, your corn, your horses, your hogs or anything else you produce? and if it does not the remedy lies in adopting tlje gold standard and decreasing the amount of money in the country. The dollar that now purchases ten bushels of oats can just as easily be made to purchase twenty under the operation of the English gold basis policy. As an illustration look at Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Italy and all the miserable bankrupt states that pay enormous tribute to English money loaners on the English gold system.

If is so much gold in circulation in the country as we are told there is, where is it? who has the precious yellow stuff? not the farmer, not the mechanic, not the merchant, not the banks of country towns, who, pray tell, has this much sought metal? The answer should be easy to any one who has noted where Cleveland sold his bonds. The gold of all the world is practically owned by a single banking combination with headquarters in Loudon, directed by the Rothschilds, and their conscienceless conspiracy aims at the accumulation of all the weajsth of the world, and the distinction of civilization.

Manufacturers are now selling many lines of goods below cost because they must have money or fail; wholesalers are so pressed for cash that they are sacrificing their stocks; retail merchants are selling goods at a loss in order to save themselves from bankruptcy; the farmer is selling his crops for less than cost that he can buy the necessities of life; the business of production everywhere is etn ploying less laborers at less wages and for less days; tramps roam singly and in squads upon every highway in every part of the land, begging and stealing that which they cannot earn by labor; and all this because the currency lias been contracted until it is unequal to the demands of business, and the money loaners of the east have cornered a large amount of what there is.

Ex-Congressman Royee, the present republican candidate for congress in the thirteenth district, was billed for a speech at Francesvilie yesterday, but after ho arrived there he found no audience and refused to talk unless twenty-five people could be drummed up to listen to him. This could not be done and the meeting was abandoned. It might be well to rematk that in all the local free silver meetings the school houses have been crowded, and when the silver candidate for congress comes to Francesville he will speak, and there will be plenty of people to hear him.

Committee Meeting.

The members of the Populist County Central Committee are hereby called to meet at tbe Pilot office, Saturday Sept. stb, 1896, for the transaction of important business.

J. A. MCFARLAND.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND.. THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1896.

Chairman Butler has placed Tom Watson in Nebraska for two speeches, at the earnest request of the silver people of that state.

The gold standard authorities admit that there practically is no gold in circulation, and that is an honest admission. Now then why not take the $610,000,000 of gold from the treasury “esti mate” of money in circulation. The claimed per capita circulation of twenty dollars would then be lower by $8.70, and be only $11.30.

If everv republican meeting in the state last Saturday has been lied about as thoroughly as the one held in Rensselaer the actual attendance was tre mendously small. As matter of fact Mr. Harris had less than a third as many hearers as “Stump” Ashby had. The much heralded republican wilg mam is a cheap shed that wilnot hold over 500 people, into which the enthusiastic reporter crowded 2000 thirsters after gold standard eloquence.

A cartoon is going the rounds of the republican press showing sixteen men applying for work where but one man is wanted, very cunningly contending that such would be the condition under free silver, and entirely overlooking the indisputable fact that it is now, under the gold standard, and high priced dollar that the sixteen men are seeking the job that one man can fill. Free silver will give a job to every man who wants to work.

No Concession to Sewall.

As a member of the special committee of thirteen elected by the Indiana State Peoples Party Convention to name presidential electors, the editor of this pa per is in a position to know that that committee will faithfully attend to the business intrusted to it, and that absolutely no concession will be made to Mr.* Sewall.

Iu view ot the repeated assertions made in the daily press that the committee would either not act at all or would endorse the Bryan and Sewall electors, it cannot be made to emphatic in denying these reports, to say that thi s committe is working in perfect harmony and when the proper time comes they will vindicate their fidelity to their trust by such action as will place them absolutely above suspicion. It is patent to every close observer of political events that efforts are being made in the highest councils of both the democratic and the peoples parties by wh ; ch absolute harmony will prevail on the national ticket in ludiana, and the peoples party may be sure that they will not be asked to vote for Arthur Sewall, the national banker and millionare. They know that they hold the key to. the situation and will absolutely see to it that Thomas E. Watson has an equal chance with William J. Bryan in the Hoosier state. It is a mistake to suppose modesty will prevent this committee from demanding all they want.

A distressing want of money is painful'y felt by labor, and e very branch of business. Gold has been steadily sent to Europe for the last eight years, to be paid to Europeans living in Europe, on account of large permanent investments in railroads and other valuable securities of our country. This is afixed condition, and will operate for long years to come, as it has in the past, making it certain that gold will continue to be exported and that gold cannot be retained as a steady basis for our financial system. The free coinage of silver will give employment to labor now idle; the free coinage of silver will add to the values of farming and other properties of all kinds,

Chairman.

Gold Cannot be Retained

and give stability to values. It will make the United States less dependent upon foreign money lenders, a dependency painful to patriotic Americans. Free coinage of silver equally with gold, will cost the government of the United States nothing; it will cost the people nothing. Business and money distresses will disappear and abounding prosperity will reappear, in our now afflicted country. A. Wolcott, Aug. 20, 1896. Wolcott, Ind.

From the Chicago Record, Aug. 27.

Electing a Vice-President.

In the absence of a majority vote determining the election of a vice-president the senate* of the United States, in 1837, elected Richard M. Johnson to that office. In the event of the election of William J. Bryan next November this same cotingency very likely will confront the national senate at the coming session. Populists have been making brisk bargains in fusing with the democracy. Oregon populists have declared for Bryan, but with the stipulation that Watson haye second place on the ticket. California fusionists agree that five electoral votes be democratic, with four for the populists. Illinois populists have been conceded four votes for Watson, and Indiana populists are expecting even more. In other states, also, fusion gives Watson part of the electors.

In Illinois of the twenty-four electors of the fused parties Bryan will command the full strength; of these, however, Sewall can get only twenty. Watson getting the remaining four if fusion carries the state. In Oregon the four votes of that state will go for Bryan and Watson if fusion wins, leaving Sewall out entirely. There has been opposition to Sewall from many sides, and with the concessions already made to the populist party its demands are not likely to become more modest as the compaigu proceeds. In liie iighr, of the seconditions if Bryan shall win in November it is probable that no candidate for vice-president will get a majority of the electoral vote. The twelfth amendment to the constitution provides that “the person having the greatest number of votes as vice-president, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed: and if no person have a majority, then from the two highest numbers on the list the senate shall choose the vicepresident; a quorum for the purpose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of senators and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.”

Right here is another interesting situation. If Bryan be elected and if no majority is counted for a vice-presidential candidate it is reasonable to suppose that Sewall and Hobart will have the “two highest numbers on the list.” The senate’s choice will thus be between Sewall and Ho bart, and as that body is for free silver its logical choice in such an emergency would be Sewall.

Referring to suggestion above regarding the election a vice president by the senate, the Pilot would call attention to the fact that it takes a majority of the senate to elect, and the populists hold the balance of power, and they will never vote for Sewall, thus leaving that office vacant,, unless the old parties combine

Stock Holders Meeting.

Gilman, democratic candidate for representative, will speak on the financial question at McCoysburg, on Friday night, August 28th.

Fusion vs. Fusion

To the Editor of the Peoples Pilot: In the Chicago Tribune of Aug. 21d, I see that in Texas, the middle-of-the-road popnlists, the gold bug democrats and the republicans are in a fair way to fuse on state and electoral tickets. Republican state chairman Grant says he expects this fusion to win the Texas state electoral ticket for McKinley. What a glorious mixture this; a pop-in- the-middle-of-the-re-publican-roadcrat. How do our republican friends, hereabouts, like this kind of raixed drinks? Oh holy horrors, oh political heresy and political adultery, when silver democrats and silver populists fuse, but it is all right, all love and sweet union for mid-dle-of-the-road pops, gold demeys and straight pubs, to vote together if the g-o-p is likely, thereby, to gain a state electoral ticket. Oh, if men weie only a little more consistent, honest and fair, how much of the wrangle, bitterness and deceit would be taken out of our politics. We see men right here on our own streets abusing and viliflying men and parties for the very same things, that they know they and their party are practicing every day. It is a great mystery to me how men, calling themselves gentlemen, Christians and.patriots. can show such a hateful, intolerant, overbearing spirit to their fellows as I often see exhibited in this town, by the republican party and press. Difference of opinion is no crime and a party badge is no proof of a gentleman or a rake, a wise man or a fool. Fair Play. Buggies and carriages sold cheaper by C. A. Roberts than elsewhere.
