Too Much Politics.

That is what is the matter with
the people, or, rather, too much
partisanship. There is much more
politics in the country among the
people than there is at the official GEN.
ters among the politicians Go to
Washington during session of con-
gress, or to any of our state capitals
during session of the legislature, and
you will see the men that abused each
other before the people, each making
1t appear that the other was the
most dangerous character that
could be put In office--see them at
the capitals and you find them arm
In arm, hail fellows well met. chums
and brothers. Go 70 Ohio and see both
republicans and democrats rallyinp to
the support of John Sherman to secure
his reelection to the United States sem
ate in the interest of the money power
Go to Kansas and see democrats and
republicans joining in conventions and
nominating joint tickets, fusion tickets,
TO defeat the people. If the leading
politicians can do this, why need farm
ers fall out and fight on the question
of party? Farmers allow themselves
to put too much faith in party, when
really there Is very little difference In
the parties so far as the interests Of
the farmers are concerned-Mt. Yer.

THOSE NEW GREENBAcks.

A Sly Game OF the Secretary of the Treas-
ury-Money Quietly Issued.
That Is a sly game that Secretary
Foster is playing. The terrible fact of
our financial condition has been forced
on Wall street, and the men who do
the work for the American bank-
ing association advised Foster to
issue money to move the cropa
in treasury notes (greenbacks) and
not let the alliance know that he
had to tumble to their demandsI And
he did it Western farmer, did you no.

you were paid for that wheat? Did you

DID you notice the date-act of 1890?
Did you see the words-redeemable in

All, that means that inasmuch as the
plutocratic dynasty at Wall street had
said this to his poodle at Washington,
Gas you now put thirty million dollars
into the hands of the national bankers
to loan at will, without a solitary cent
OF interest outside and independent of
the bank currency, why not issue treas
ury notes for this money to move the
crops with and thus steal a march ON
the howlersP And Foster did It
But why did the bankers consent to
this-was it not directly in line with
our own demands? Yes, but the plutes

A Lesson for the South.

The action of the democratic party
in Kansas and Nebraska in the election
just passed will produce a profound
and healthful effect throughout every
part of the south. The peoples party
in the two prairie states gave battle
for the principles laid down in the
Ocala platform. The two old parties
united to break them down. So far
from cherishing the principles enun-
ciated by the n. F. A. and l. o., the
democratic leaders deliberately chose to
vote the republican ticket in the vain
hope to beat down and destroy industrial
organizations Nor is this feeling
among old party leaders peculiar to
Kansas and Nebraska 1t exists In
every state and is general throughout
the country. The alliancemen of the
south will now be able to see who are
their friends in the north They will
now readily discern that the demo-
cratic party is their bitter foe and
prefers the fellowship of the republic
an party rather than any afiliation
with organized industry. The members
of the N. F. A. and L q. in the south
must understand once for all that their
political allies in the north and west
are to be found in the peoples party.
They cannot expect aid or sympathy
from any other quarter. er.-Iowa

ELECTION RESULTS.

Living Principles VIII Triumph Over .
Corrupt PIutocracy, But Not without .
Conflict of Years.
The recent elections teach US q
lesson-and therein is not one line of
discouragement Let us review the
matter.
Before the party of the people Is
fully born-at least before it has been
clothed-it has been most powerful
faction in the Empire State of the
union. We had no ticket in New
York, practically, except in local
matters-and there victories have been
won.
In Ohio one of the greatest cam
paigns ever carried on in the United
States has just been closed. Mckinley,
the banner bearer of the grand old
party, was the stake. With his down.
fall came the absolute and irretrievable
destruction of the republican partyl
This is the truth. 1t was made
mighty issue by design. Why? Be-
cause it was easier to pour the corrup-
tion fund of the national organization
into one state than to find an
overpowering food of money for
the whole nation. To carry Ohio was
to revive a paralyzed party. To lose
Ohio was to bring total break up.
In Ohio the mighty struggle was made.
What do we see? New York over
whelmingly democratic, Massachusetts
democratic governor, Iowa demo-
cratic, New Jersey democratic, but
Ohio saved. But the victory was not
crusher to us. Eight short weeks ago
the peoples party was an unknown
factor in that state, and last week it
polled $4,000 to SO, 600 votes. Surely we
feel encouraged when we think that
the democratic party took up the silver
issue to win our voters for us.
In Kansas the democratic party and
the republican united-the judicial
ticket being the only issue. In two
districts the peoples party defeated
both combined, and were nearly VIC
torious in the seven or eight others.
In South Dakota the republican party
won by slight majority, and in Ne
braska there is still doubt about the
issue But only about fifty per cent
of the vote in these states was cast
Now, what does this mean? Itmeans
that the peoples party is in its infancy
its swadling clothes-and is now
merely entering the mighty fray yet
to decide the destiny of the human race!
The peoples party has vital, living
principles. It's dogmas once born can
never die. 1t will be in the field hence
forth and forever. as long as human
veal is in issue among the contending
factions of the human race It is i'm
possible for it to perish. This scatter
ing election in five of its outposts is
merely the early picket-work of forces
entering into the greatest and grandest
struggle ever enacted upon this planet.
But this outpost work demonstrates
that there is to be no sudden revolution
in the minds of men. 1t is not to be a
bugle-battle. 1t is to be stern, con-
tinuous. savage and fateful 1t will
not be fought in linen busters Armor
must be put on-and labor must settle
down to the stern fact that mems work.
not child's play, is before them.-Great

The Use of Land ~ Basis For Money n
Not . New and Untried Experiments.
The demands of the Farmers, Al.
lance for government loans upon land,
at two per cent interest, Is no new or
untried scheme. The same thing
worked admirably in the early history
OF Pennsylvania It met with unquali.
ned success in the state of New York,
and its success has never ceased to be a
matter OF congratulation to the people,
who loaned their school money to
farmers with the very best results
In Oregon the thing is now in vogue,
and If we are to believe reliable, un-
biased authorities the people of Oregon
are abundantly satisfied that the
principle of making government loans
OF money, direct to the people is not
only safe. but very desirable one to
put in operation OF course, every
proposition to loan the people their
own credit, in the form of treasury
notes at low rate Of interest, has al
ways met with the violent opposition
OF bankers, who are loaning their
debts) at a high rate of interest Bank
ers have always contended that bank
notes (bank debts) were much safer
and better, at high rate of interest,
than the treasury notes at low rates of
interest Self interest has made them
ardent advocates of the rather eouivo-
cal proposition that government credit.
loaned at bank counters at high rates
OF interest for the benefit of
the banks, is much safer
and better for the people than the same
government credit loaned over treas
ury counters directly to the people, at
low rates of interest!
Fifty years ago Switzerland passed
through much the same ordeal that the
farmers of the United States are now
enduring. Bank issues of money at
usurious rates of interest had impov-
erished the people. They were mort
gagged heavily, and there was a pros
pect that the usurers would soon take
the lands in settlement of the mort
cages Then the patriotism of StampH
suggested a remedy. A governments
bank was established. The public
credit was printed on notes, and these
notes were loaned to the farmers on
mortgages running thirty years at 81
per cent interest, the borrower to paw
one-thirtieth of the principle back an
nually. The old mortgages were taken
up. Shylock kicked, but of no avail
The people were relieved, and they
have since been happy and prosperous,
because they had the sense to see that
they could use their own credit for
money and profit by the transaction

PROSPERITY.

1t Does Not Depend Upon the Amount of
Money Issued, But the Amount Kept in
Circulation.
The prosperity of the country does
not depend upon the amount of money
issued by the government, but upon the
amount that is kept in circulation. So
long as there are so many avenues to
draw the money to the money centers,
so long will those who control these
centers control the circulation and
with it the prices of products. The
great lever of the money power in
plundering the productive industries
and concentrating wealth. is
the credit system, interest.
usury. Money has the advantage of
labor and will absorb its products
whenever money will earn more than
labor; whenever the interest paid for
the use of money is greater than the
average rate of wealth produced bv
labor. Hence these avenues of ab-
sorption must be closed before there can
be permanent prosperity, or before
labor can b free from the domination
of capital
The bank system of finance is essen
TALLY a credit system. Banks of issue
are based upon credit; they are the
foundation stone of the credit system.
Without it they could not be. Abolish
the credit system and you at once abol-
ish the bank of issue. Then make the
amount of money equal to the de-
mands or requirements of labor, in
terest will probably adjust itself
to the average increase of wealth
and money will cease to. be boarded for
purposes of usury. A great trouble
with our present system is that idle
money Is worth more than active
moneys the idle owner gets a greater
share of the profits of industry than
does the borrower who invests and
employs labor. While this Is the case
money must accumulate and labor suf-
fer.-Mt Vernon (nll Progressive

ABOUT SECURITY.

Shall the Money sharks or the Govern
ment Supply the Peoples Needs?
II you go to a nelghbor to borrow
money he either demands personal in
dorsement or takes your crop, live stock
or real estate as security. If your note
Is accepted without security it is be-
cause you are worth In reality or per-
sonalty more unicumbered property
than your exemptions. If personal
security is accepted it is because your
indorser is worth more realty or per-
sonally than his exemptions Approved
security at bank means the signature
OF man who is worth property in suf-
ficient amounts over and above exemp-
tions to cover all the risk of the loan.
This clearly shows that after all land.
or the products of land, are by their
natural fitness made the basis of all
loans. Then why such a wild hurrah
about making this same security a
basis of government loans? 1t would
deal out greater satisfaction under the
alliance proposition than now, for two
reasons:
First, It would be made an actual
bona fide security in the way of coll
lateral This would be more substan-
tial assurance to the creditor (the gov
ernmentl than 1t now is to the individ-
ual.
Second, 1t would be a great relief
to the debtor because of the privilege
to borrow at two per cent 1t Is not
the ten or twelve per cent. interest
exacted by private money lenders which
makes their security good The same
security exacted by the government at
the actual cost Of issuance would be
just as proof as It now Is But it ID
proposed to make the governments
doubly safe by actually placing within
its custody the collateral security.
1t is only a question of whether or
not the government will surrender ita
power in the premises to selfish specu-
lators- Shall money sharks be licensed
to constitute themselves intercessorr
between the government and the peo.
pie? Or will the people say that the
government shall serve their needs?-
