THE FARMER THE VICTIM.

What the Decentralization OF Silver Has
Done.
Mr. Sherman, by the strange method
of argument so well known by him.
contends in the Ohio campaign that the
remonetization of silver would be a
measure injurious to the farmer Mr.
sherman has made SO many assertions
OF like character that time has actually
proven false, one would think he would
be little more careful in making
them. The effect the demonstration
OF silver had upon the farmer is a mat
ter OF history, and is given as below
by L. Il. Baker, of Easton, Md, in the
National View. Have we not logical
right to assume that the reversal of the
cause would reverse the effectsq
I'VE are told by statistics that onlv a
few years ago the American farmer
was In possession of a majority of
our conntry's wealth, and to-day he is
only the nations burden bearer f,
bordering on insolvency, and vet a class
say 1t IS the result of national ciroum.
stances. What did the demonstration
of silver do? 1t established an era of
falling values. 1t DESTROYED our ma
tlonal standard of values under which
all debts had been contracted. It COM
PEELED trust system to resist it It
gave the country a gold standard
whose purchasing power increases con-
stantly, with corresponding falling in
values in all properties not protected
by the system of trusts Hence the
American farmer is the victim. ~

federation has, it is true, MANY points
OF similarity with the United States,
but there are also wide diverrencies.
There are in Switzerland twenty-two
states, differing widely in area and
population. Three of these are divided
into half-cantons. In extent these states
vary from 2.774 square miles for the
largest and down to IA square miles for
the smallest, and in population from
$50. 600 to IL, coo. The total population
Is about 100000 About seventv-one
per cent of the population speak Ger
man, twenty-one per cent French and
per cent Italian. and
the constitution provides that
laws shall be printed in all
of these languages While, unlike the
United States in this respect. there is
decided point of likeness in the organic
law declaring that 1.-The cantons are
sovereign in SO far as their sovereignty
is not limited by the federal constitu-
ton, aud its subjects exercise all rights
which are not delegated to the federal
power" The referendum is also made
to apply to revisions of the constitu-
ton. A revision of the federal organic

ooth houses agree that such procedure
Is necessary or when so, 600 voters de-
mand it. The work of revision takes
place not through any special agency
invoked for the occasion, but according
to the usual process of making law.
The document as finally passed by
both houses must be submitted to the
popular vote. If it receives the an
proVal Of majority of all the people,
and at the same time majority of all
the cantons, the revision becomes law
and goes into effect as soon as pro-
mulgated by the federal council. The
Importance of this institution of the
referendum upon legislation can thus
be seen, and its working appears to be
entirely satisfactory. A study of its
operation proves interesting when COM
pared with the constitution here, and
analogous constitutions Paul Dis

BARBER COUNTY PLATFORM.

We. the representatives of the People's mar
ty OF Barber county, in delegate convention
assembled hereby heartily endorse the action
OF the Cincinnati conference, believing that
the declaration put forth there is one of the
most important events of the century, and we
invite the voters of Barber county to stand
with US for the overthrow of the combin ations
of capital which have first forced one party
and then the other, to submit to their selfish
demands.
We present not merely theory, Jefferson
ian or Lincolnian; but like those great States
men, we ask you to meet the conditions which
confront you, and with their fearless states
menship. 'Sink or swim, live or die" we have
unfurled our banner for '82 emblaZoned with
the battle cry, Equal rights to all, and spe-
clal privileges to none."
We condemn the action of our state senate
in obstructing reform measures demanded by
the people; and while we could not expect the
house, in a single session, to reform all the
abuses which have grown up under republican
action for the past twenty-five years. we conn
mend them for what they did. and demand
that they shall continue in the good work till
it shall be fully accomplished.
we commend the efforts of the county OF;
GERS to enforce the law, and we believe tn
moral sentiment of the county condemns mock
trials at the expense OF the people. We pledge
our candidates to be law abiding men, who will
not wink at crime or corruption, and we pledge
ourselves to ask the resignation of any one
found guilty of the same.
We demand an economical administration of
national, state aud county affairs. and a strict
accounting for all money taken from the peo-
pie in the way of taxation, and we denounce
the Doasted extravagance of the recent billion
dollar congress.
We believe that the politics of the past has
become corrupt, and that change will prove
beneficial, and thus believing we invite all
persons who are interested in the welfare of
our state and county to unite with us in our
efforts to bring back the decalogue INTO poll
tics, and to prove that purity in politics is not
an iridescent dream.
We commend Judge Mckay for his Arm
stand in administering the law without fear or
favor, and we denounce the spirit of dema-
gogy which has attempted to bring him into
reprodch.

NOT IN 1T,

The Tariff VIII Not BE the Issue in tha
Momentous Conflict of 1S92
The papers that are always claiming
the tariff as the only issue in the next
campaign have been repeatedly chal-
lenged through these columns to show
that the tariff could be reduced 90 per
cent and the expenses of the govern
ment met without a special or direct
tax to meet the deficiency. None have
accepted the challenge or dared to
make the issue. The reason is verv
substantial and good why they failed.
1t could not be done. Here is the
demonstration The total revenue
OF the government for 1890, was In
round numbers $4O3, 900, 600. Tariff
dues yielded 1929, GOO, 900 of this
amount Deduct 20 per cent of the
tariff dues, or $45, 900, 600, and there
would be left total revenue of 1858,
100000 The ordinary or current ex-
penses of the government for 1890. were
S31S,000, 600. Deduct $31S, 900, 900 from
1855, 600, 900 and there would remain
SS7, 600, 600, in excess of revenues for
1890. But the billion dollar con-
gress appropriated billion dollars
for the purpose of depicting the
treasury and rendering it impossible to
reduce the tariff, and that was effectual
in wiping out not only this $37, oOO, 600
excess, but also all the surplus in the
treasury. With the increased expendi-
ture OF the government made by the
last congress, it will require every cent
OF the revenue now received by the gov
ernment to meet the expenditures of
1891. This increase of expenditures
has been in pensions and salaries. and
cannot be cut off, and the same condi-
ton will obtain in 1892 Now what is
the sense of making this bold pretense
and ridiculous claim that the reduction
OF the tariff is the issue and must be
the issue, when it cannot be reduced
until the expenditures of the govern
ment shall first be reduced No issue
is made on reducing the expenditures
OF the government for neither party
claims that it intends to do this. 1t is
impossible to have an issue on a uues-
ton where the matter involved, which
comprises the issue, is impossible of
accomplishments nt-Montgomery, (Alal

THE SWISS REFERENDUM.


Study of Its Operations Will Prove In
teresting When Compared With the Con-
stitution of the United States and An
alogous Constitutlons-Importa of the
Institution Upon Legislation.
An important point in which the
Swiss federal organic law, while in
many other respects similar, differs
from the constitution Of the L tied
States is cited by John Martin Vincent
in work recently issued on the state
and federal government of Switzer-
land This is in the institution of the
referendum, according to which for
ninety days federal law may be said
to be on probation. In this country
the acts of congress become law on the
date appointed in the publication, but
in Switzerland it il different By the
application Of the referendum the fed
eral constitution Of Switzerland is
brought far nearer to the people than
is that of the United States It oper-
ates in this way: If, within the ninety
days that the acts are on probation, a
sufficiently representative body of cit
liens so demand, a popular vote must
be ordered and the acceptance or rejec-
ton of measure decided by that All
laws mot Of an urgent nature" are pub
lished Immediately after their passage.
number of copies being sent to the
government of each canton. and for
ninety days submitted to an inspection.
The question as to whether a bill is
urgent or not is decided by the federal
legislature itself, and, if it is, the fed
eral council is ordered to put the same
in force at once. But if it is an ordi-
nary law, and during the period of
probation 80, 600 citizens petition for a
popular vote, the bill must be sub
mltted to that ordeal. The request for
referendum takes the form of a writ
ten petition addressed to the federal
council, the petitioners signing the
paper with their own hands. and nrov-
ing their right to vote before the proner
of1elais On receiving the requisite
number of signatures the federal conn
ell orders general vote, notifies the
various cantonal or state governments
and provides for general publication
OF the bill or resolution. The date of
the vote cannot be less than four weeks
aIter the announcement, and must take
place on the same day for the whole
confederation- If majority of the
Wnole votes cast in the required mum.
Der OF cantons are In favor of the
law, it is accepted, and the federal
council orders it to be placed on the
statute book A contrary vote puts a
stop to its execution. In case no peti-
ton is submitted the federal council
announces this fact at the expiration of
the ninety days and the bill becomes a
law. 1t might. be feared that this in
stitution, involving the direct interven-
ton OF the people In legislation. would
be abused, but such does not appear to
be the case In Switzerland Less than
twenty per cent. of the laws coming
under the rule have to be submitted to
popular vote It can scarcely be ac-
cepted. however. that similar satis-
fs-ctory results would obtain here If the
