ITS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

The Sup erstitious Faiiauy Of Specie Basis
For Domestic Currency WiiI Soon davs
Had Its Day
At the Indianapolis meeting of the
supreme council of the T. A. and l. U.
clause 81 of the financial plank of the
Ocala demands was amended to read
thus:
B. We demand that the government shall
establish sub treasures or d positorIps in
the several states, which shall issue money
direct to the people at tax of not to exceed,
two per cent per annum, on non perishabIs
farm pro iuets, and also upon real estate.
with proper limitations upon the gu tntity
of land and amount of money.
Commenting upon the above men
toned action, Mr.. ]. Burrows, editor
of the Lincoln (Neh.) Farmers ALI
ance, says:
THE following is the platform
adopted at the meeting of the n. E. A.
and /. o. at indianapolis week before

treasury plank is modified. MANY who
could not support it before will do so

which underlies it is the issue of monev

The PENSION QUESTION.

The DemagOgues Are Losing Their Grin
The North and South Fraternizing.
At the national meeting, the dele
gates from the north and the north
west, nine-tenths of whom were ex-
union soldiers, introduced a resolution.
and asked that the brothers from the
south support it, whereupon it was
passed unanimously; first, favorinp
the reduction of the pension list to
honorably discharged AID needy union
soldiers only; second, that all pensions
be paid in full legal tender paper
money; and third, that the pension
question be absolutely removed from
the debasing sphere of politics, to the
end that the demagogue shall have one
less subterfuge, and the government be
protected from fraud and imposition.
This action, coming as it did from the
SCARED veterans themselves, makes
it all the more acceptable, and
shows that the farmers, the men
who followed the flag of the
union during the war, are the first and
only class of men, who have the moral
courage to speak out and say what is
for the best This action was a grand
piece of work, and will inspire new
hope in the hearts of our southern
brethren. 1t took brave, noble men to
say So but they said it. One by one
the old partisan bosses footings are
knocked from under them. There can
be no more prejudice worked up on
this line. One by one the alliance re-
moves the demagogue's chances to
estrange the people; while on the
other hand, the people of this country
are getting closer together again,
recognizing the fact that we are one
family, with the same interests. South

DEPRECATED PAPER.

The Greenback Dollar Has Never DeDreci-
ated in Value
Whenever we speak of an increase of
government paper money we are
promptly reminded of the depreciation
of the greenbacks during the war.
We deny that the greenbacks ever did
depreciate, for there never was time
when a dollar greenback would not
pay dollar of taxes, or of debt, or buv
a dollars worth of whatever was for
sale. But there became difference in
the so-called value of the gold dollar
and the greenbacl1 dollar. We hold
that the difference was in increasing
the value of gold and not in diminish
ing the value of green backs. But the
plutocrats prefer to say that the green
backs were deprecated Be it so, for
arguments sake Who got the benefit
of that depreciation? The government
issued the green backs, dollar for dollar:
it received them back again, dollar for
dollar. What became of.the difference?
Every cent of that difference was con-
verted into bonds for the benefit of the
gold owner and the bondholder, and
the people are now and have been for
a quarter of century paying interest
to the bondhold on that difference.
Mr.. John Sherman said the greenbacks
were purposely deprecated for wise
purposes These were the "wise pur-
poses" We call upon Mr. Sherman
and every plutocratic politician in
America to deny the truth of this. And
we repeat the, proposition. The So
called depreciation of the greenbacks
was purposely made, and the gold own
ers who became the bondholders got
the benefit of every cent of that de-
probation. We call upon the politicians
to deny this proposition with the evil
dence, or defend it. That is fair.-Mt.
Vernon (Illa) Progressive Farmer.

Postal Savings Ranks.

The time is approaching when rad
zeal changes must be wrought in the
banking system of this country. The
losses sustained by depositors in con-
sequence of frequent bank fail
ures are of such magnitude as
to render any system that promises
absolute security acceptable to the
people. The present postmaster-gene
favors postal banking system similar
to that now in operation in other ma
lions, and if we can get this without
any Objectionable features, we can see
no reason why we should object to it
simply because it is favored by an op-
posing party. If the party proposes to
do good thing in the name of Heaven
let US encourage it.-Topeka Advocate

STAND TO PRINCIPLE.

Demands Should Not he Modified to Meet
the Objections of n Few.
The Tribune is in favor of fair and
open discussion of all questions at is
sue, and especially the demands of the
alliance and peoples party. Alengthy
letter was published last week in which
our correspondent advised the peoples
party to leave out of its platform the
'sub-treasury plan,'' though he admits
that he has no objections to it. His
only objection seems to be that some
people are opposed to it-particularly
in the towns and cities Without enter
ing upon the merits of the question, we
desire to say that we think our corre-
spondent is wrong, and that as party,
we cannot afford to pander to the
ignorance and perjndices of men. If
we commence the work of kicking out
of our platform all the features that
the people in the towns and cities OBJ
ject to, where will we end? We would
soon have no platform at all Igno-
rance of the principles of the peoples
party and their application to our
wants in common. coupled with
a great deal of prejudice are all that
stand in the way of their acceptance
by the people everywhere-in the
cities and towns, as well as among the
farmers. No, no; we cannot afford to
give up any principle that is right
The sub-treasury plan and land loan
system are principles that are rapidly
taking root in this country and it is
only question of time when the people
in the towns and cities will be with
the farmers in these matters. Agita-
ton and education will do the work.
We must not be too hasty and expect
immediate results There is a great
deal of educational work to be done
and mountains of prejudice to be re-
moved But whatever we do let us
take no steps backward. Topeka Al
