Now that the Farmers Alliance
and kindred organizations have de-
cided to place a Peoples ticket in
the Kansas field and call upon all
lovers of good government to support
it, the battle will begin in earnest.
The Republican and Democratic
press will assail and malign the can
didates and the leaders of the new
movement, denounce them as agita-
tors and perhaps anarchists, but those
who stand up and demand the liberia
ton of the industrial classes are de-
termined to make the fight for hu-
mainly, for home and country, and
the cry raised by old party pirates
win not avail With the knowledge
that fourteen hundred families In
Kansas are being driven from their
homes each week by order of the
shylock, the people realize that some
thing must be done to relieve the
debtor class, or all will soon share
the same fate. The demands of the
Peoples party will not be extrava-
CANT, but would have been good Re
publican doctrine In the days of
Abraham Lincoln, and there Is moth
ing In it but plain, simple justice for
the farmers, laborers and business
men of the country. The st. Louis
demands will be the platform Let
eyery man who loves his country
study them well, then vote as his
conscience dictates, regardless of the
party whip.-AlliGnce Tribune, To-

and some creditor is paid of in this
currency with a purchasing power
lower than that which he lenti Is it
any more than has been supposed by
the debtor class for the past ten or
fifteen years!
To arrive upon basis of equality
and fairness for both debtor and
creditor class, must needs produce
some hardships. must cause some
inequality.
The ascending path is not so easy
as the descent has been. As the
debtor class has borne the hardshlps
of constantly decreasing circulating
medium, for years past, so must the
creditor class take their turn in bear
ing the loss incident to constantly
expanding volume of currency until
it arrives at figure per capita that
experience shall dictate to be enough
to easily transact the business of the
country, but it should be borne in
mind that the loss incident to an ex-
panding currency upon the accum'
lated dollars, is less harmful in its
results to the creditor class, than the
loss that has been borne by the debtor
class. That the Alliance and Indus
trial Union are striking at the root of
the matter, and unearthing the whole
scheme carried on so long of class
legislation, may we know from the
vigorous opposition with which the
demands are met.
The money power has held control
so long that it does not propose to
yield an iota of its prestige. 1t has
not been used to considering any but
its own wants and advantages, and
every objection of every kind and ma
ture, some with grain of truth and
some with none are thrown up to
prevent the enactment of legislation
in harmony with the Alliance demand,
and to blind the people to the clear
discernment of the central truths.
As was stated at the outset, be not
deceived Be satisfied with nothing
but free coinage or none. Every
limitation put upon the full legal
tender qualities of silver or silver
certificates, means just so much OPP
portunity of speculation IN what
should be freest from it. We must
remember that money in its best and
truest use is not an article of COM
MERGE. It is like the public highway
for use, not for tolling purposes; for
the public good, not for private gain;
and because of its scarcity, and de-
Walton from its proper use, and
manipulation for private gain, great
system of credits has grown up in the
small as well as in the large matter
of life that is likely to overwhelm the
country with financial disaster. We
believe that it is the provision of
good government to furnish a proper
amount of money per capita, that
will easily transact the business of
the country, and then to compel its
use in those transactions. Supposlng
the law made the minimum amount of
indebtedness collectable by legal
process the sum of one hundred dol
lars, thus compelling a cash basis in
the ordinary affairs of life2 Can any
one limit the beneficial results from
such limitation of credit, and return
to cash basis? Let us first get the
proper amount of currency and then
compel its use, while honesty would
then be compulsory virtue, it would
nevertheless be virtue, and its bene-
fetal results would be wide spread

Aluminium, one of the most valuable
and useful metals, and at the same time
one of the most plentiful in its crude
state, is now being produced by differ
ent processes at a comparatively low
price. When this metal was first shown
in Paris by Denille, in 1855, it was
priced at S15 per ounce. In 1857 IL was
sold at 50 per ounce, and In 1854 Its pro-
duction had been so cheapened that the
metal for the tip of the Washington
monument was bought for sI5 per pound.
At the close of last year IL was Tor sale
at 81 per pound, and Developments are
now being made which promise to still
further reduce its cost. There are few
OF the metals that are of such intrinsic
value or that can be put TO such va
riety of uses as aluminium, and II its
production can be cheapcned 10 corre-

The Ears Did Il.

A Partisan dandy recently had a
crayon picture of himself made, which
he afterward pretended to find fault
with.

semblance to me-" he said, "and l will

The artist protested, but all to no
avail. Cali right, sir" he remarked
finally, "ifit don't look at all like you,
Of course, can't reasonably expect
you to take ii"
After the dandy had left the paint
er added to the portrait magnificent
pair of asses ears and exhibited it in
a window thus altered to the gaze Of
the curious public.
1t had not long been so exposed
when the dandy broke into the artists
studio in towering rage, and finding
that threats amounted to nothing he
at last offered to buy it even at q con-
siderable advance upon the original
price.
