they have made room for them in the

in introducing gold leaf or platinum

means of the blow pipe. The metal

mortgage, closes up shop factories,
mills and mines, and turns the work
ers adrift, degraded beggars; and then
the law steps in and says they must
not beg! They must stay where they
are and starve to death like well-be-
haved paupers.
Chase's (Maine) Chronicle says:
The proposed tramp law for the
state of Maine, which the Journal says
will become a law, provides that no
person shall go from town to town
begging for food or shelter. Last
week The shoe factory at Bucktield was
burned and fifty men and women
thrown out of employment. If
these people go to other towns in
search of work, and are forced to beg
a nights lodging, or meal of victuals,
they are to be arrested and thrown in
to the county Jail or workhouse. Idle
workingmen! that is the feast to
which you are invited by the old par
parties. Your masters have bound
you hand and foot, and you are to be
hung because you can walk.

The eastern newspapers, hirellng
tools of the moneycrats, are now
deeply regretting that the Atlantic
states did not keep the west in sub
ordinate and terrible condition.
Their abuse of the west is unmeasur-
ed, simply because our people have an
uncomfortable fashion of thinking
for themselves, and will not be ruled
over and dictated to by Jay Gould and
August Belmont. The Boston Erea-
ing Transcript thinks we are in a
''brute and savage condition" out
here. Thus it boils over:
Eastern opinion should keep in
mind that it has but minor influ-
ence upon this administration. The
sceptic of government in the republic
has really passed, for good or ill. to
the west; and western ideas of nation
al finance, economy, and politics must
be expected to prevail. We never
thought much of the craftsmanship Of
Mr.. Boutwtll's plan for remanding the
southern states to the territorial con-
dition, because they insisted on polit-
cal opinions to us distasteful and de-
structive. There is more occasion
now, considering the perils of the
moral and material interests of the
country, for remanding both southern
and western states to territorial tute-
lage. They need supervisory educa-
ton in the commonest things that
hold society and nations together and
keep down the brute and savage in
stincts of the natural man, such as re-
spect for law, especially for the invis-
ible but binding relations of contracts
and moral obligations. Instead of
having in their present darkened con.
dition the preponderating majority,
they ought to be kept in a safe and
small minority with merely territorial
representation. But who is to apply
the Boutwellian plan to the present
crisis!

The st. Paul Globe saws:

Hon. l.. 3. Hodges returned yester-
day from Hancock. Stevens county.
While there, he sowed one square
mile under wheat, on land broken last
June, and accomplished the task by
April 2. ''And how is that for Mimi
esota, in point of earliness!" quered
Mr.. Hodges. The land received a
thorough bull-dozing. Forty-one
teams were employed in the service,
with which the land was dragged
three times before sowing, and twice
thereafter.
Switching off from his own private
undertaking. Mr.. Hodges said such a
tide OF immigration has never been
known in Minnesota since 1856, as
that now weiling into the state. The
biggest passenger trains and the ,ig-
gest freight trains ever run upon the
st. Paul & Pacific railroad are now
passing over that line. Each day
witnesses four passenger cars, loaded
to suftocation, passing up the road.
And the class of immigrants is of an
improved character, the vast majority
consisting of farmers. and their
grown-up sons, from the eastern coun-
ties of Minnesota and from Wisconsin.
They are the hardy pioneers, men in
nured by former experience to the
life they are about to undertake, or,
in the pithy words of Mr.. Hodges,
''men who have been through sthe
mill" They bring with them, too,
full supplies of provisions to tide over
the first season, together with horses,
cattle. and farm implements and ma
chinery. "Things are just bloom.
ing," cried the enthusiastic gentle
man to the Globe reporter, land, as a
proof, l honestly assure you that,
within the last thirty days, parcels of
land of not less than quarter OF Sec
tion have doubled in value, and every
body is hopeful and putting in their
best licks.''
This is all true.
Let the settlers remember howev-
er, that John Sherman'a financial pol
icy will yet find them out; and that
there is danger of OVERRIDING this
wheat business.
Every settler should bring with
him stock Of cattle, sheep, hogs,
poultry. etc. and be prepared to live
when John Sherman smashes Mime
sofa, as he has already smashed the
rest of the country. If that financial
policy continues the question will not
be of making fortunes, but Of surrip.

IGNATIUS DONNELLY. EDITOR

The Workingmen of Minneapolis
organized and nominated a working
man for Mayor, an honorable, able
gentleman; he came within a small
vote of carrying the city; and he was
defeated solely by the detection OF
the hard-shell, hard-money Demo-
Gratis. Isn't it about time that the
Nationals of Minneapolis should orga-
nize on their own hook! AS an inde-
pendent, permanent party they would
draw allies from both parties. If the
laboring men of that tlourishing city
can act together they will force the
hard-money minority into a hard
money party, and sweep the decks.
The sooner the line of politics is
drawn upon the financial issue the
sooner will relief be found.

The Tribune of Lawrence, Kansas
the leading newspaper Of that city,
has come out for the National party
in ringing terms. 1t says:
sThe only party in the country
that has pronounced and harmonious
creed on this SUBJECT is the National
Greenback party which met in nation
al convention at Toledo on Washing
toms birthday, and framed aid unani-
mously adopted a platform OF princi-
Piles on which they propose to stand
until victory crowns their efforts.
The essential features Of that plan are
that all money shall be issued by the
government-shallb be full legal tender
good as gold-but not convertible
or redeemable in gold-that it shall
be issued in amount equal to the de-
mands of trade and be receivable by
the government that issues it for all
taxes and for all purposes. That plat
form is from this time onward the
financial creed of the Kansas Tribune.
Under that flag we fight

The I'erre HaMte Express makes
the following pregnant comparisons
between the soldier and the bondhold-
er:
Let us see how the national hon.
or" account stands.
The first soldiers enlisted at eleven
dollars month in coin. They had a
contract for coin as good in law and
better in equity than has ever been
given to bondholder.
The government suspended specie
payments and paid the soldiers in
greenbacks, deprecated through va
rious graduations and as low as sixty
per cent.
The pay of soldiers was afterwards
raised to thirteen and then to sixteen
dollars month, but the value of the
greenbacks in which they were paid
continued to decline at a rate much
beyond the advance in wages.
Soldiers enlisted on a contruct to re.
ceive one hundred cents on the dol.
lar, and they received ninety, eighty,
seventy and sixty cents on the dollar.
They gave services for which mon
ey il not pay-separati0n from homes
and kindred, midnight marches in
mud and snow and ice, daylight
marches under the southern sun and
through burning sands, exposure to
fever and privations and wounds and
death, and to the tortues of prison, to
scurvy and gangrene and starvation.
On the other hand. take the bond
holder. With the paper money Of the
government worth from forty to sew
enty cents on the dollar he bought
bonds paying 8 per cent, interest in
coin, and the principal payable after
i've years in greenbacks. When the
principal became due he procured q
change Of contract by which it was to
he paid in coin. Later he procured
still another change Of contract, max
ing it payable in gold coin.
The soldier received from ten to
sixty per cent. less than his contract
called for, and the bondholder receiv.
ed more than one hundred per cent.
above what he was honestly entitled
to.
"The soldier was paid in a deprecia-
ted currency, while the bondholder
bought in that currency"
Did any bondholding organ ever de
nounce the bad faith and the dishon.
or Of the government in its financial
dealings with the soldiers!
Why do not the obligations of ma
tional honor 60 backward as well as
forwardf Why is it that . bin is not
pushed through congress to pay the
soldiers the full one hundred cents.on
