some of its propositions are faulty.
The great object effected, however,
is the very feasible plan decided up.
on for uniting all classes of working
people throughout the country.
This was Diseased at length and
finally, when completed, an efficient
committee was appointed to put it
in practice. The intention is to put
anational anti-monopoly ticket in the
field next year, upon a thoroughly
digested platform; and it is made
the duty of the committee to pre-
pare such platform and arrange for
the holding Of a national convention
and securing it a full attendance
from all the States.

ing the public a service, by stopping
within the bounds of sense and pru-
dence.
1t is to such as these that the
country owes the financial evils it is
now enduring. In 1865 they were
ceaselessly bowling against the issu-
ing Of greenbacks by the govern
ment. Then they clamored for
banks till they obtained them. Now,
they have tired of banks, want them
utterly destroyed, and demand an
unlimited supply of greenbacks. It
is this class Of men, who, have given
us our present oppressive tariff; and
they, too, procured the repeal of the
wise though slightly imperfect State
railroad law of 1874, by their bitter
denunciations of it's faults.
They want to have things too per-
feet. They are not satisfied with
the world as God created it, but
would improve upon his plans. They
are extremists and are dangerous
advisers. The people need to shun
the counsels of such, disregard the
ruflanism Of the class previously
mentioned, and turn for guidance to
those who have patience to seek
and intelligence to find the happy
medium on the safe side of all ex-
tremes.

mands. He must hold that violent dis
turbances Of the volume of currency
are prejudicial to the business interests
Of the country. He can hardly favor
currency that is, or is likely to become,
below par with gold in the markets of
the world. And he surely does not be-
lieve that the people should pay a great
er rate of interest on the public debt
than is actually necessary. So far,
then, he agrees with the anti-monopo-
lists. About the details of the method
whereby these desiderata can be affect
ed, he may differ with US, but that af-
fords 60 reason why we should refuse
to honor him with our respect and con-
fdence.

The Pioneer-Press and its echoes
are denouncing Hon. E. w. Dixie, be-
cause he does not decline the Owatonna
nomination, at the bidding of the St.
Paul ring-masters, who control the re-
publican and democratic organizations.
They declare that he is void of "polit-
ical honor" If he is, "political honor
is certainly not commendable trait of
character. Mr.. Dixie is worthy gen.
tleman and an excellent officer, and the
people desire that he shall continue be
the State treasurer. The managers
aforesaid wish to have one of their tools
either Pf@nder or Schefer- that
position, and they controlled the con-
Ventlons accordingly. Now, the Pioneer
Press argument amounts to this: that
MIR. Dixie must stand aside and that the
wish of the people must be disregarded,
in order that the ring may be able to
place one OF it's tools in the Office. And
such is "political honor" according to
1t. Well, thank heaven, Mr.. Dixie is
endo wed with too much good sense and
manly honor to heed the behests of
these politicians or govern his conduct
by the code of honor they prescribe, and
for that reason the people prefer him.

The Cincinnati Conference,

The conference of workingmen
and farmers, held at Cincinnati,
Ohio, on the eth, Sth, and 9th of
September, was not a failure, as has
been alleged by several newspapers.
1t did all that it was expected to do,
and did it we'll. Better, in fact, than
was hoped for. 1t had, however,
difficulties to encounter that were
extremely discouraging, and which
at one time seemed insurmountable.
Its greatest drawback was the
presence and pretensions of Horace
II. Day, of New York, a sincere
friend of the working classes and
formerly a very useful man. In his
old age-he is upwards of seventy
we are told-Mr. Day has surround
ed himself with set Of parasites, by
whom his vanity has been flattered
to that extent that he thinks work.
ing people everywhere ought to &C.
cept his opinions without question:
ing, and enter at once into schemes
for placing him in the presidential
chair.
His object in attending the con-
ference was to have his ambition
gratlhed. Those who live off of him
and who have spent for him the ma
jor part of his once handsome for
tune, were there to strengthen his
pretensions in order that they might
continue him their dupe and prey
upon him with increased facility.
OF course, with this element to
contend with, the earnest, practical,
thinking men Of the conference were
greatly hindered from prosecuting
the work before them.
They succeeded finally, however,
IN getting rid of this disorganizing
force, for when Mr.. Day and his
blood-suckers found that they could
not control the conference they
withdrew. With them went the in
formations, communists, free-lovers,
etc.; and this left the true working
men at liberty to agree upon prac-
tlcal plans for the future. The plat
form adopted is excellent, although

The Currency Question.

Senators Carl Schurz, Of Mo-, and
William William, Of this State, have
recently delivered speeches containing
powerful, and, we may add, incontro-
vertible arguments against imitation and
irredeemable currency. We feel that
we can endorse everything they say,
and it is because of these very argu-
ments that We advocate currency reform.
Our preeent mixed bank and greenback
currency is obnoxious to every argu-
ment argument they urge against ire
deemable paper money, for it is virtually
irredeemable. Even the government
repudiates the greenbacks, in that it
will not give gold for them nor receive
them for duties, and the bank currency
is only redeemable in greenbacks.
The system we advocate has gold for
its basis; and no currency that is not
based upon gold, or on something equiv
alent with Sold, in that its value is uni
versally recognized throughout the COM
mercial world, can be prevented from
depreciating in value and occasioning
loss to the nation that uses it. Our
present " best currency the world ever
saw" is an illustration and proof Of
this fact; and its use involves to US an
average loss by depreciation Of about
one-sixth (l625 per cent? of its volume.
This is the chief reason why we have
became impoverished by its use: and
why its continued use must continue to
PROSTATE our business until positive ru-
in ensues.
Their reasoning against susceptibility
of indasion, also, applies to the present
currency. Its volume depends upon
the caprice Of Congress, or even the
Secretary of the Treasury may, of his
own volition, expand or contract it;
and he has frequently done this within
the past five years. This causes it's
relative value to be unsettled, and mill
tates against the business interests of
the entire country. 1t disturbs the
stability of values, and destroys conf
dence.
The system we advocate would take
away from Congress and the Treasury
this power to initiate or contract the VOL
ume of currency and leave its mutations
dependent wholly upon the demands Of
trade. If it were not wanted, it would
not be obtained, unless its employment
in trade would yield greater profit
than its investment in bonds. We may
have been slightly unfortunate in select
ing the language of the Owatonna res
o]ution, but We still think it will bear
criticism. If not, let better plan be
suggested. Our object was and still is,
to devise kind Of currency beyond the
control of Congress or banks, redeema-
BILE Indirectly in specie, and not sus-
ceptible of violent mutations of volume.
We are heartily sick of the present
system of deprecated paper which costs
us in interest 81 per cent. per annum,
and in depreciation of value about l6%
per cent.

Hon. VIM. L. Banning.

The vote for this gentleman's nom.
ination as gubernatorial candidate,
in the Owatonna convention, ought
to be sufficient answer TO all accu-
satlons of communism brought
against that body. Nearly every man
in the State knows that he is one of
the ablest and most energetic busi-
ness men that Minnesota possesses;
that his integrity is unimpeacbable,
and that he is true and earnest
friend Of the people, recognizing
that the prosperity of the laboring
classes is essential to the advance
ment Of the country. 1t is, also, as
we'll understood that he has always
opposed political corruption, that he
is a man who deserves to be honor
ed above his fellow-men, because Of
his usefulness, conservatism, and
honest dealing.
For him the convention cast twen-
ty-slx out Of sixty-four votes; and
had there not been present large
democratic element, predetermined
to nominate Mr.. Buell., he would
probably have been selected as the
leading candidate. For our part,
we were more than anxious to nom-
mate him, in order to show the sin
cerlty of the frequent declarations
of anti-monopolists that they want
only good men for candidates. In
Mr.. Banning they would have had a
standard-bearer they could have
been proud of. No mere politician,
but a first class citizen, who has
been identified with the develop
ment of the State from it's infancy
and has probably done more to fur
ther the development than any oth-
er man. In his hands the interests
of the people would have been en-
tirely safe, and it is to the shame of
the citizens of Minnesota that they
have not hitherto placed Mr.. Banning
and men Of his character in charge of
public affairs.
We are told that he is opposed to the
Owatonna platform. This we do not
believe. He may differ with us on the
currency question, but our knowledge
of him justifes us in asserting that he
is in favor Of a sound currency. This
is just what the anti-monopolists want.
There may be difference of opinion as
to the method for obtaining this. But
of two things we are assured: first, his
opinions upon this, as upon all other
questions, are the consequences of SIM
cere convictions that the public welfare
will be best promoted by the adoption
of the plan he advocates; and, secondly,
whatever conclusions he has arrived at
are the results of careful and mature
thought.
He is certainly not in favor Of in1at-
ing the currency above OF contracting
it below the quantity that trade de-

Political Arguments.

The politics of a country are of
great Importance to the people, and
they should, therefore, understand
them thoroughly. TO enable them
to do this, the topics ought to be
discussed candidly. We are all striv-
ing to produce the same result-the
promotion of the general welfare.
If the country is prosperous, all our
private interests are advanced;
while the impoverishment of the
masses Of the people must necessa-
rily involve most us in the general
ruin.
But it is not discussing a question
to abuse those who disagree with us;
to call them blatherskites, fools,
idiots, knaves, etc. Indeed, the
man who uses such vulgarity in can
vassing an important question only
proves himself to be the thing he ac-
cuses his opponent of being. A
sensible, sincere man, though his
zeal may occasionally cause him to
display vexation, rarely descends to
abusing those with whom he argues.
B Take the financial question, for in
stance. Such men as Schurz, Davis,
Window and Kelly, IN discussing it.,
utter no word of condemnation
against those who honestly differ
with them; but content themselves
with giving facts and figures in proof
of their assertions, reasoning from
analogy, and referring to what they
believed to be historical parallel
cases. Each presents these in a
manner to sustain his own views,
honestly entertained, no doubt; and
the public are thus benefited by get
ting intelligent opinions on both
sides.
With the petty politician who has
only to serve his party, right or wrong,
there is no such thing as argument.
Their assertions are reckless, incon-
sistent, and frequently untrue, and
their every allusion to those who
differ with them is mere ruffainly
abuse. Such conduct disgusts men
of sense, and only serves to arouse
the meaner instincts of partizan
bruisers, whose highest delight is to
beat the opposition, no matter by
what dishonest and unworthy means.
But there is still another class of
political wranglers, who, impelled
by a love of demagogism, seize up
on the popular side Of a question,
and in their ignorance, vanity and
desire to create sensation, carry it
to ridiculous extremes. These, too,
have had their say about the money
question, and, from the shallowness
of their knowledge, have given the
PROPOSITION such fantastic shapes that
its best friends fail to recognize it.
These do more harm than those who
abuse their antagonists, for they
drive away from the support Of their
hobby such as are capable of render
