tariff in toto or incur extraordinary ex-
penses of government, as did Napoleon
under the same theory of finance The
campaign of education will discuss it along
with the Gibbs bill and other measures that
may be submitted.
If the leaders are afraid 10 make a sug-
gestion as TO the best plan of getting the le-
gal tender to the people, the Democrats at
the forks of the creek will agree on a plan
of their own and send men TO congress TO
vote for it. They have sworn one to an
other that they will have sure enough lead
ers or sure enough servants to serve them
in congress.
The congressman in Texas who don't
meet the issue and talk to the point, will be
known as 1.-The CONGRESSMAN afraid OF his
shadow" and the Democrats Will find a
man to fill his place. A congressman may
be smart, and he may be pretty, and he
may be pious, but the people want to know
exactly what he favorS on this issue.
Gibbs, who is authority on Scripture says,
very properly, "a man may be against the
world, the flesh and the devil, and yet not
be saved so u man in politics may be
against the present outrageous policies of
the Republican party, and yet unless he
fayors something specific in their place, not
help on the campaign of education.
1t finally came to pass that even ingalls,
couldn't say to the Republicans in Kansas,
hush! Be quiet. Ye know not whereof We
speak! Their reply was you are opposed
TO the Democratic party but favor nothing
that looks to our relief" Mr.. ingalls, says
'.It was both a revelation and revolution
of those id farmers"
The press boys are now chewing on Cul-
berson and Clark with an occasional
mother bite" at Barney, but some of them
see the direction of the stream and are
making some good suggestions on their
own account.
Every commercial nation has money or
change other than gold and silver, and the
issue is, how are we TO have it under sys-
TEN other than the national bank system3
This is commended to the consideration OF
those who can do something beyond skin
ming Barney Old Dave or the sub-treasury
scheme. Give the country something bet
ter or 90 foot. The fishing is too good and
the waters too disturbed for the boys to fish
for top waters.''
The movement is on and the financial
issue is here right along with the tariff,
and the young men of Texas who don't get
to the front in Texas with something worth
considering, will have gray hairs before
such another opportunity presents itself.
II you are Democoat prove il by helping
the party to solve the present issue in the
clubs of education. The financial issue is
an open debatable question in the Demo-
cratic party. and every man, whether law
yer, farmer or school teacher, ought to read
up on it and discuss it this summer before
the clubs and the people. The farmers are
not for the sub-treasury if anything better
is offered them even it be by an obscure
man. They care nothing for leaders.
The critics who have nothing better to
tl,rf Fall l,r.r
ing in their sleeves at. They are thinking
themselves and are listening to nobody else
but thinkers. 1t is foolish TO tell them to
work harder and think and talk less, for no
man is their master and they are out for q
solution.
Every man is thinking and talking to his
neiShoor about the present financial system,
and how to get more money in circulation.
Yet men who propose to be leaders say the
financial question is not an issue. ingalls,
said it shouldn't be an issue. So did Wade
Hampton. Where are ingalls, and Hamp-
tom The people will rule and the Demo-
cratic party is the party of the people.
The ''readers out'' of Sulphur Springs
and Bonham have returned. They swore
there should be no campaign of education
and no discussion of issues, but they find it
didn't stop the procession. They found
after reading Gibbs out that they would
have to chop off Culberson and Clark and
some yet to come, and they quit to sharpen
their knives and get breath.
This is an off year but there will be lots
of politics talked this year and some bright
young men who have been reading will
come to the front in every neighborhood to
contribute something to the campaign of
education. This summer the people will
talk if their leaders do not.
The clubs are anxiously waiting to hear
from Coke, Mills and Chiffon When they
speak it must be to the point. They ca a.
neither make or change the issue, and must
defend the present financial system or offer
a specific remedy. The people of Texas are
Democratic and insist on tariff reform. The
campaign of education in this state is occu-
pied with the financial question. If more
change or circulating medium is needed,
how is it to be gotten into the channels of
Jradea If they expect profound attention
and consideration they must speak plainly
on this issue. If they submit bill it will
receive careful study and a fair hearing in
the clubs and among the people.
DEMOCRAT.
