contraction, nor resumption. All
these may be incidents, but the real
trouble, in my opinion comes from
overproduction.'
If there has been no contraction,
how could contration be All incident
of hard times!
Auburn and Lewiston are large
centers Of shoe industries and textile
fabrics. It is the productions of
these mills and factories that have
added millions to the wealth of the
| nation. There are millions of taxable
property in the two cities that would
not exist had it not been for these
mills and factories. Can it be posi-
BILE, as our representative in congress
asserts, that these mills and factories
have created too much wealth! Is
''overproduction' common solution
of the hard times problem!
In Lewiston. cloth and shoes are a
glut in the market, and sell below the
cost of production, but there are
thousands in the two cities suffering
for shoes and clothing. In the Uni
ted States there are 100000 of men
women and children suffering. for
shoes and clothing. If 100000 pairs
ofnew shoes were put on to as many
pair of shivering feet, how quick
shoes would rise and the wages of
shoe makers go up. If the 100000
who are now living in enforced idle
ness each had new suit of clothes
how quick all the mills would be run
ming full time and rise of wages. A
solution of the problem of overpro-
duction is to put shoes and shirts on
to the feet and backs of millions of
our shivering people. Large masses
Of our people are suffering for the
goods that glut our markets because
nobody can afford to hire labor at the
present low prices of wages. A dol
lar boarded pays better than dollar
paid for days work. \ dollar in
vested in a shoe shop or cotton facto-
ry is shrinking, while d dollar hoard
ed is growing bigger. 1t will buy
more shoes and clothes this year
than it would last, but the cotton
factory and the shoe shop won't sell
for as much as they would last year.
Hence labor starves and our markets
are glutted with goods, because large
masses Of our people are idle and i'm
poverished. There can be no relief
or remedy until the profits are taken
from the money hoarder by arresting
the shrinkage of values. Not poor
money, but more good money is need

Chase's (Maine) Chronicle gives
the following interesting interview
which fairly represents the growth
of public sentiment in that state and
elsewhere:
The following dialogue passed be-
tween Il Greenback man and his sis
ter, who has been spending the winter
away from home.
Aha So, Sam you've left the
Republican party and turned Green
back -
left the Republicans What do
you mean! Well. since you are al
ways ready to listen to the right. III
tell you how it was. 1 was following
the even tenor of my way, and when
it came near election day l commenced
to hunt for my party. l could not
find it. When, why, or where it
went l am unable to tell. Next l
took an account of myself, and, like
the man with the cold who was
searching for cough to suit it. l
found that Scion Chase's ideas coin
cided with mine. SO | Immediately
sent Tor his Chronicle. and have taken
it ever since: still more. when l get

took and other parts of the country.

back party is the party

era I'm sure such Il firm Republican
rs he has not been whopped over :
Just you talk with him and see.
Why, do believe he has renewed his
age, and feels almost like entering the
field as speaker.
After short pause.) We'll. III
tell YOU what it is. sam, shan t
change. Not but what I'm willing
to be convinced, but | should like to
see the person who could convince
me-
NO doubt it would he hard for 4
person to convince YOU. but come
home and read my Chronicle. then
You'll come in. Listen while / tell
YOU what my Chronicle has done.
There is not Republican or Demo-
crat in my district-they are either
all Greenback men or on their last
legs, viz: hunting for their party.
This is what it has done at home. and
l have no doubt it is working wonders
in the Aroostook. You see we have
started rag baby and he has grown
strangely. SO l feel safe in saoing he is

One very remarkable feature of
independent meetings at this time is
the utter absence of all speechifyiug
and resolving. Everybody is in grim
earnest. 1t is evidently understood
that the time for speeches and reso-
lutions is past, and that this is the
time for action. This is the spirit
which ensures success. The Ameri-
can people will talk and demonstrate
to a certain point, but beyond that
point fierce determination takes
possession of them, and then woe to
those by whom they have been de-
ceived and betrayed. That point has
been passed in this financial discus
sion, and shylocks and swindlers of
all sorts had better take warming
The People, (Des Moines.)
God of jnstice What shall become
of the people :!
Cries of distress are growing old !;
cries for redress are growing more
earnest. But cries can never accom-
plish much. Action is necessary.
Action on your part, producers, can
accomplish the one thing necessary
in order to secure prosperity that is
the overthrow of ariStOcracy. Accom-
plish that, and the other extreme
which now hang on you so heavily
will grow lighter, while in the mean
time, you will gain strength by the
replenishment of your ranks.--Non-
itor.
In times like the present, good men
should do all they can to build up
public confidence and not to pull it
down. And how guilty are those
persons who thinkingly or unthink-
ingly. in time like this, contribute
to the general distrust! The banks
Of the country, like it's business men
generally, are going through a fear
full ordeal. Every bank that stops
and every business that fails adds to
the general disaster. In such a time
good men should stand together and
do all they can to strengthen one
another.-Ottawa (Kaae.) Journot.
In every proper sense it is true
that the poor mans dollar ought to be
as good as the bondholder's and
worth full hundred cents. Any
dollar that will legally pay dollar of
debt or taxes is a good dollar for that
purpose. \ dollar that is a legal
tende 3ollar for all the purposes of
money is good dollar, and just as
good as dollar can be made. The
greenback dollar is worth hundred
in the payment of any debt except
the debts to the government and the
bondholder. 1t will pay just as much
taxes as the gold dollar and more
than a silver dollar. When it is made
a legal tender for custom dues, and
for the payment of government debts,
it will be worth one hundred cents
for all purposes. Then it will be as
good as the bondholder dollar. 1t
will then be the bondholder's dollar
as we'll as the poor mans dollar
