liable to shirk and not tend to busi-

"A Great Opportunity.

The best method by wlich:any par
ty can retain power in this country is
to merit it. Political power il rooted
in the confidence Of the people, and
to betray the confidence il to lose
the power. The great needs which
are uppermost in the minds OF the
people cannot long DE neglected for
partisan ends, or dealt with IN mere
factional or sectional spirit, without
bringing upon the peoples represen-
tatives the just censure Of their con-
stituencies, and that would quickly
result IN their retirement from public
life. Other duties besides the adlnis-
sion of new States, the redistribution
Of Offices, and reapportionment OF
representation upon the basis OF a
new census awaits the incoming Con-
gress and Administration. A thor

is absolutely necessary. The revenue
must be reduced to a level with the
necessities Of Government. and the
tariff will have to be reduced also
sooner or later. The dangerous pow
or Of great commercial combinations
or trusts must be be broken and abol-
ished; the demand for this action is
as widespread as it is just The pro-
lection Of the franchise form the as
saults Of corruption is necessity SO
evident that good men Of all parties
demand that it be speedily attended
to. The equally needful defence of
the ballot from the menace of ignor-
ance is also rapidly becoming clear.
and it must soon become manifest
that better than any protection of il
literacy at the ballot-box will be its
removal, SO that universal suffrage
shall no longer be a curse, but q bles-
sing to the country. The general APP
plication of arbitration to the settle
ment Of differences arising between
related labor and capital is another
common sentiment seeking prompt
enactment into law. In each of these
clamorous reforms the common peo-
pie are eagerly interested, and the
present and future welfare of all clas-
SEES is involved. A wider door Of op-
portunity was never flung open to
any Administration in any land

Facts Tell.

Let any one who doesn't know that
poverty produces intemperance, deg
rebellion, vice and crime, contrast the
years 1866 and 1873. The year 1866
was the first after the war. which
ought to have secured, was intended
to secure, freedom for. all. The year
1878 landed us on the barren rock of
specie payment. We have entered
upon the system that has failed us
fifteen times during the first century
Of our national life. We were told
that when the soldiers were discharg-
ed the land would be overrun with
crime. Yet there was less crime in
the year 1866 than any year in our
history, in proportion to population.
When we reached 1879 the money
volume had been contracted from
about $4,000, 100000 to 800, OOO, 900.
This lnonstrous crime Of robbery pro-
duced more widespread and lasting
evil than the war did.
Failures in 1866, 446; 1878, 1886.
Penitentiary offenses in 1866, / per
thousand; in 1878, II per thousand.
Murderers in 1866, per thousand,
against % in 1887.
Lunatics in 1866, against q in 1878.
Suicides in 1866, against % in 1873.
These figures speek in thunder
tones in proof of the fact that the
poverty produced by the contraction
Of the currency from nearly 1900
600, 900 to 500, 1000, 600, wherein two
thirds of the peoples money was CON
verted into bonds for Shylock to reap
his harvest Of usury of the people,
prod uced twenty-fold of the evils that
curse this land.
In no period Of our history did pau
perism, crime, intemperance, prosti-
tuition and every form Of vice spring
up as in the period of coming to the
robber system of specie payment.
In 1866 there were no tramps.
In 1878 the land swarmed with them.
Laws were passed during this in
famous period against the poor that
would have sent Christ and His apos-
ties to prison had they been here
