How it would delight the heart of n plutocrat to hear Kansas say: “Oeorgin, you are too slow with the old hag of D‘*mooraev: I fear rou aio deceiving me. I will return whence 1 cam*'out u> the arm:: of .{• publleat inn.” v Man of the W v . Man of th: South 1 Veit cannot quarrel. Y o-1 must t"*t closer together, Your 4UUl homes depe nd upon it. Banish fool isii sentiment, and grapple each other with tho hook ; of a lasting friendship. Wr.y was silver demonetized? Who cun tell ? Was it to please t,h< bloated bond-holder, or tho farmer - 1 If it was to please die ot’ner fellow, why not p’ofvuo the farmer now and put -’her back whor* it was Oefo;o? n'i <*r« can b no harm Y. righting a wrong. When fko i anker buys a bond that bond draws him interest. That i- an in' an . t. 'G.e*' why s^rndd ti.e goy rmr.cnt issue to that )»anker HO percent of 1 ' value of his bond in money to loit the people at a big rale of intei -st ? Tho people should think about these things. All the difference in the so-called Democratic and Republican party is six pojr cent, on the tariff, a differ¬ ence that is hardly perceptible. They are together on the Contraction of the currency, demonetizing of silver, monopel , trusts, combines, etc., etc, flow much longer can the peo¬ ple he fooled by this bogus tariff question* Every idle and unemployed man is a burden upon the workingmen. For while ho does nothing to support himself he must have food to sustain life, clothing to cover his bony, and shelter and warmth; and tho expen¬ ses the; o th ngs must bo bourne by somebody. The wealth producers, tiamo y tho working men, are the Nines who support this. The greater the number of idlers tho larger must be tho amount deducted from tho earnings of those who toil. Tho attitude oi tho political par ties at tho present time as tkYer minod by their leaders is simply lu dicrous. They say in effect: “Don't do anything to change the situation ! Don’t give the people any relief! be cause we mav lose all the offices. Let tl » farmer and tho wa-e-slave Yoncer ciank th nr chains aa hile Nothing era bo done now becaus< we may lose the offices, It is r.o use anyway. I'ho House will on* p-sc. Tho Senate will not concur. Thu I'resident will veto. It. is not strange that neither of the great oar ties have, in a position of prom- nonce, a single man who fully grasps .ho situation and is equal to it. How tho love of office corrodes tho soul, dwarfs the intellect, drowns out honor, and oats out tho heart of a man F When the soldier went to tho front in defense of his country, risking , his nil for tho preservation o. u«wn, ‘ e eastern capitalists mred a substitute ana sent his g Id to Europe for safe keeping. Tho southern soldier also risked his all Uciug n .tn jrn bulle 4 ' for the do fense of a principle which ho bo iioied be light. After the war was o\ c capitalist brought back his go'd, and with it fastened a but den upon the soldiers of both see Lons of the country which has Tt-U-I- own to tne position of 11D SOutu ai Alill, y wariaro egaiust tl IS POPULISM DEMOCRaT'C? . . ,. . in answering this question wo in quire, what is it that constitutes ... . a 1 ™"™’ Is it tno avowal and finn port of certain recognized and well defined principles that originate with and go out from th people, or is it devotion to ceru.u partizan mens nres that originate with that class known as professional politicians, J^ 1030 their supreme interests purpose without is to work seek m own mg or desiring and untrammeled ex pressiem from tho people. Let us see. Before the war in l ,urct ‘“W* ct Nomocracy, it was tho universal sentiment of the party, national banks were a groat hnancifl a net polt.s.a. furso upon tho people, and tho party waged in cos sain and unrelenting war upon th^in until stfSh banking Vets were re f pn 1 J h ‘ 3 ' vas onc of their Kreot landmarks. , A gum was the utfivcrsal semi ment of the party that gold and sil ver were equal as a luisis for cur roncy, and the party favored the free and unlimited coinage, of both. This too, was a great landmark of the party. On tno tariff they were, not so fully agreed. Tho extreme Southern States were strongly inclined to free trade. in the Middle and Western Slates pci haps tariff for revenue only -vfi , the dominnrt idea, in tho North and Fab, tariff for revenue , tt,th som ° «»sewmtnations K ; • 4 for a pro tool ion, r T hose principles were tho chief and distinguishing features of the vv Je.i.ocrat.c . party, especially m havering the free coinage of both l oM ard a silver ^UU-r, aud rvl i.n un -.vn,™ avert 1 a g no op position . to national banks. Now% how does tho Pooulist plat- f torm c . harmonize with these distinct ive features of the Democratic par tyt We ind the first item in their list of dr maud.-: “We demand the abolition of national banks,” and we ! demand tho “free coinage of silver.” Wo farther demand a removal of | the existing heavy tariff tax from tho necessities of lito “that tho poor ! ot ^ our [find must . . have. „ rri Thus it will ... bo seen that tho Populists of tho pronent day and Democracy before the war are in hearty agreement in opposing national banks, and in fa¬ voring the freo coinage of both gold and silver, aud are equally sound on the tariff question. Now, lot us in¬ quire, how stands the Democratic party, or minor tho party loaders, who have taken tho bit in their teeth, and aro fashing madly on without con Jting tho people, Let us see. We scarcely ever hear a word in ositio.i to i.ationa . banks- Borne op{ prominent leaders have assumed that the Democratic party is no foo to national banks, ’ and t,,,u some have 11 warmly expressed themselves as m their favor, whilo there is nothing liko unanimity of sentiment on the qustion, no concert of action i in op¬ position, but q seeming steady pur¬ pose to ignore tho question, which means eithor to favor the banking policy, or a backing down, a Jack of nerve to light Wall* street or the money power—uuwilling to risk de feat that they fear will come of op position. Success of tno machine is 6**°^ consideration with the lo-'dors who manipulate wires, On tho question ot free silver, the k art - v ^ demoralized and routed. T* 10 ^ ort ^ anJ work with the Money power that ih constantly seok in S to still further contract tho cur >encyiu order to make their hoard «« "oiUions still more valuable. The southern leaders believe that the mon °y pow will win, and as ^ 1(? y wt>l ’k for the spoils they either «ctivoly co-operate or silently con- 30ut ’’5' isnnring the question o£ sil « altogether, or by treating it as ot »« importance, or so slight, when compared with tho tariff question, as unworthy of attention. The party leaders put all the stress upon the question, and insist that every thing elso shall be iu subordination, oven to tho banking aud silver ques uon. They decline to agitate, and urge tho adoption of measures that find no favor in tho eyes of Wall street, but has its determined and bitter op position. Iu a word, the banking machiue is dominated by the money power, aud seem to be in a state of abject submission to its behests, and have no hope of success outside tho tetters of \\ all street.
