Keep cool and do your duty.
Register and get ready to vote.
Don’t forget to register in time to
vote.
Every populist snould be sure and
register and cast his ballot.
Don't get on the extreme but do all
you oan for the success of the oause you
advocate.
The populists are full of enthusiasm
aud will win by a handsome majority
in Jackson county this year.
Your.rea sorry populist if you have
so little interest in the success of your
party that you will not put yourself to
a little trouble, if necessary to register
and vote.
The populist senatorial convention
will meet at Maysvtlle on August first.
Hall and Banks both will be represent
ed and will take part in naming a sena

The Economist For
The Campaingn.
The campaign of 1900 will be full of
interest and every man should keep
himself posted as to its progress and
final results.
Thf. Economist will tell yon allabont
what Populists think and believe as
well as the two old parties. We will
try and make it interesting to all who
read Thk Economist whether they
agree or differ with us. We want to
be just to those who entertain views
not in accord with oars, but at the same
time advocate what we believe to be
best and what we think will result in
the most good to humanity at large. If
yon think we are wrong you have a
right to your own opinion on that line,
provided you are capable of forming an
opinion from having read and studied
all sides of the great questions that con
cern every man of intelligence.
If yon criticize Thb Economist and
its policy and the principles it espouses
without reading it or any other papers
that agree with ns, you are presuming
more for yonrself than any intelligent
and liberal man would date do.
We appeal to our friends to get every
one they can to read The Economist
daring this campaign. See your neigh
bors and get them to take it for a few
months. If they will not do this hand
them your paper after you read it and
get them interested and willing to look
at both sides. Men who are honest
have not yet laid asiae their party pre
judices, and the way to get them to do
this is to get them to reading reform lit
erature. Let every man go to work,
who has our cause at heart, and send in
a list of scbsoribers and help get The
Economist in every home.
The reform movement is getting iu
splendid shape all over the west and fu
sion is a thing of the past.
There are no better men in the coun
ty than Dr. Allen and Mr. J. H. Boggs,
the populist nominess for the legislat
ure in this county.
If you want to elect your ticket iu
this county at the October election reg
ister and go to work. Every man can
do something.
The populist of Ben Smith’s Dist. will
meet at thecou’-t ground at Carl next Sat
urday the 28th, for the purpose of elect
ing delegates to the county convention
which convenes at Law.euceville on
the 14th of August. Every populist iu
the district should turn out to the meet
ing next Saturday.
f
The campaign is now on us for the
fall election. It is our desire that we
have a clean and honorable campaign.
Let’s make a fight for what we think is
right free from abase and mud-3linging.
We want to see the populist ticket elec
ted, bnt at the same time, we had rath
see it defeated it we had to resort to
moans low and degrading and unbe
coming gentlemen. Work and work
hard for what yon believe right but be
men and not ashamed of what you do
for the suocess of your tioket.
Greatest Volume
of Money.
The influence of the volume of mou
ey upon the welfare of the people is tre
mendous. In fact as ooncerns the mas
ses of people it is plenty or want; hap
piuessorwoe; high ci\ ilization or low
civilization, just as the volume of mon
ey be great or small. No words can
describe the ruiu that follows a severe
cou tract ion of the money volume. No
tongue can fully tell of the joy that
comes from a large addition to the
amount of money iu the nation. There
is nothing strange or mysterious about
this wonderful influence of the money
volume on the lives of the people. It is
as simple as the adding of a short col
umn or the finding of the acreage iu a
square piece of ground. The plentier
money is the cheaper and therefore the
lighter the burdens of debt and taxation,
and iu the item of debc must be includ
ed many charges that fall upon the
[ person “out of debt” as he thinks. The
e 'imated fixed charges to be paid by
tie people every year in the United
States is three billion six hundred
dollars and it is about this sum whether
prioes be high or low. By a contraction
of the currency the burden of paying
this immense snm is increased, by an
inflation or increase of the currency it
will be diminished. We are speaking
now only of the regular yearly pay
ments, which are composed of interest,
taxes, and transportation charges. But
if we include the twenty billions of
debt of the people of the United States,
estimated by some as high as forty bil
lions, the principal of which may be
increased in effect thongh not in the
number of dollars, by a contraction of
the money volume, the possible conse
quences are appalling. Jnst think of
it! A decrease of one-half in the mon
ey volume would double the burden of
this great debt.
So the old greeubackera and the Pop
ulists have attached great importance to
the money volume. There was great
contraction following the close of the
war and people were thrown into debt
and such as contracted obligations upon
tie basis of the then existing level of
prices, were compelled, in effect to pay
twioe as much as they agreed.
A large increase iu the per capita of
money will bring good times and such
times the people in all equity and jus
tice are entitled to.
So the Populists have always and still
f tvor an increa e of the money volume
to fii ty dollars per capita, which is
doable the amount claimed to be in cir
culation by the authorities.
Knowing this great influence of the
volume of money on the prosperity of
the people and always having it in
view, the Popu’ists have favored the
free coinage of silver because it would
give more money than there would be
withont such coinage, and while it
would not add much to the volume, it
would act as a parachute and make the
descent of the people into the abyss of
poverty and despair slower. They fa
vor free silver not because they think
it is scientific to priut money on the ex
pensive and clumsy metal, but solely
because it will add to the volume of
money to some extent, Free coinage,
it .s true, may not increase the per
capita of money, but it will prevent the
per capita from getting as small as it
otherwise would.
And now comes the point which we
desired to make to which the foregoing
is preliminary. The national platform
of the Democratic party adopted at
Kansas City demands the retirement of
of national bank notes and thesubstitu
tion therefor of government paper or
silver certificates. This means, of conrse,
that bank notes are to be retired as
fast as silver is coined, thus preventing
an increase in the currency . The mon
ey volume is to be stationary while our
population increases. Instead of an in
crea e in the per capita of money, tak
ing their platform as meaning all it
says, there will be a decrease iu the per
capita of mouey. There will be just
the opposite of whtit Populists advocate
free silver for.
A vote for the Democratic party is a
vote for contraction. This even taking
them to be entirely in good faith in
their money plank. Bat it is well
known that in the convention there
was a large per cent, who were oppo
neuts of free silver—a majority of the
convention consisted of that kind it is
claimed, and we have much reason to
believe such claim is true, for the big
States were no* silver States. Bat con
ceding for the sake of argument that
the Democratic party, including its
membership in New York, New Jersey,
Georgia, Virginia, Illinois and Indiana,
is for free silver and will give Buch a
law if elected (which they cannot if
they would, for the Senate is anti-silver
fir six years to come), still there is no
reason for a Populist to vote the Demo
cratio ticket because of the silver issue,
for the Popnlist idea is an inorease in
the per oapita of money, while under
the Democratic platform other money
would be retired as fast as silver was
coined.
Populists say abolish bank money,
ooin silver end issue enough g.-een
backs to make the money volume fifty
dollars per capita. They wonld lighten
the burdens of the people and make
them prosperous. The Democratic
money proposition would increase their
burdens and make times harder —Mis
souri World.

Populists need not be discouraged
The fact that we can have two nation
al Populist conventions at the same
time but at two different places, shows
that there is considerable life in the
party still. The Sions Falls conven
tion (a Democratic prefix) has nominat
ed Bryan and Towne. Bo the Democrats
will have at the head of their tickets
the nominee of a Populist conveution,
so called. I suppc :e the Democrats can
stomach, this, but ccn’t swallow a Re
publican Towne. They ought to have
gone the whole hog and take Bryan and
i'owne.
Then the regulers, the true-blue, the
middle-of-the-road Populists, the salt of
the earth, the cream of patriotism and
the flower of manhood, have given us
Barker and Donnelly. No better tick
et could be presented to the American
voter. We have no personal acquaint
ance with Mr. Barker. We know him
only by his works and words. Thus
judged he is every iuch a man. We
have a slight personal acquaintance with
Mr. Donnelly. We have known him
for years from his writings. From head
to foot he is an able, unselfish aud de
voted reformer aud patriot.
In Georgia we have an able, clean
and unspotted State tiokefc. If elected
they would give us a plain, frugal and
economical administration of State
affairs.
Comrades of 1892, 1894, 1896 and 1898,
let us gather around die old flag!. Let
us lift it high in the air! Let us proud
ly and nobly march under its broad
folds. In the past we have done well.
Let us not weary in welldoing. Let us
press forward, with brave hearts and
undaunted courage, aud victoiy will be
ours. James K. Hines.

After many intricate experiments,
scientists nave discovered methods for
obtaining all the natural digestauts.
These have been combined iu the pro
portion found in the human body and
united with substances that build up
the digestive organs, making a com
pound oalled Kodol Dyspepsia Cere. It
digests what you eat aud allows all dys
peptics to eat plenty of nourishing food
while the stomach troubles are being
radically cured by the medicinal agents
it contains. It is pleasant to take and

National Platform.
The People’s Party of the United
States, assembled in national conven
tion this tenth day of May, ISOO, affirm
ing our uushokon belief in the cardinal
tenets oj the People’s Party, as setforth
in Omaha platform, and pledging our
selves anew to continued advocacy of
those grand principles of human liberty
until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and pro
claim this declaration of faith:
First—We demand the initiative and
referendum aud the imperative man
date for su-.h changes of existing fun
damental aud statute law as will ena
ab'e the people in their sovereign ca
pacity to propose and compel the enact
ment of such laws as they desire; to re
ject such as they deem injurious to their
interests aud to recall unfaithful public
servants.
Second—We demand the public own
ership and operation of those means of
communication, transportation and pro
duction which the people may elect,
such as railroads, telegraph aud tele
phone lines, coal mines, etc.
Tnird—The laud, including all natur
all sources of wealth, is heritage of the
people, and should not be monopolized
for speculative purposes, and alien own
ership of laud should be prohibited. All
laud uow held by railroads aud other
corporations in excess of their actual
needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed by the Gov
ernment. and held for aotual settlers
only.
Fourth—A scientific and absolute pa
per money, based upon the entire
wealth and population of the nation not
redeemable in any specific commodity,
but made a full legal tender for all debts
and receivable for all taxes and public
dues aud issued by the Government
only without the intervention of banks,
and iu sufficient quantity to meet the
demand of commeroe, is the best cur
rency that can be devised; but until
such a financial system is secured,
which we shall press for adoption, we
favor the tree aud unlimited ooinage of
both silver and gold at the legal ratio of
16 to 1.
Fifth—We demand the levy and col
lection of a graduated tax on incomes
and inheritances and a constitutional
amendment to secure the same, if nec
essary.
Sixth—We demand the election of
President, Vice President, Federal
judges and United States senators by
direot vote of the people.
Seventh —We are opposed to trusts
and declare the contention between the
old parties on the monopoly question is
a sham battle and that no solution of
this mighty problem is possible without
the adoption of the principles ol public
ownership of public utilities.
