paper. Now then, would it not be
a thousand times more sensible for
the government to issue the bonds
in small denominations without in
terest, and let them circulate among
the people as money, instead of in
curing an enormous debt and inter-
est on the people, in order to secure
gold basis circulation, based ON
paper bonds, which are based on the
government and redeemed by the
wealth-producers, or taxpayers OF
the government. Now it seems to
us that the hue and cry that paper
currency in this country is not mon
ely unless it is based on gold, is
false, and foreign to the principles
on which our government is based,
and that the gold basis policy is
simply scheme under the guise of
Republican and Democrat politics,
for and in the interest of the gold
power of England and Wall street,
for if there was no other money
than gold in this country, they
could easily lock up few millions
and manipulate a corner in gold,
and thereby squeeze some more of
the financial life out of our country.

Sounds like the Trump of Death

The attempt by the old party pol
iticians to break up the Alliance is
very significant at this time, show
ing wicked design to defeat re-
form. 1t has come to this, and
people may as well get ready to
meet it now as later on. The moral
character of the old party leaders
and politicians is so bad that reform
sounds like the trump Of death in
their ears, and if meanness, lying
and slandering can do the work, the
cause of the people will be ruined.
1t does not require much foresight
to determine what those things will
lead to, and we will not suffer our
selves to be blinded by promises of
any kind from men who have ruined
our nation.
They do not intend to suffer the
people to have a good popular gov
eminent, by and for the people !;
these old traitors will sink the
movement if they involve us in war
What better proof of determina-
ton to ruin the republic do we want
than we have in the Legislation of
the last twenty years, and the atti-
tude of the leaders of the old par
ties toward the people? Beware,
beware, ye people, for our freedom
is in danger!-Labor's Tribune.

Paper on Gold, or Gold Oh Pa
per. Which ?


Now, as we'll as in years past, the
organs of the money power harp on
a gold basis; and the tools of Wall
street howl, "money on gold basis;
and the Old party vote'er-stright
bowls, "money on a gold basis, be-
cause his mind is befogged and he
thinks he must howl the same way
the bigger dogs howl. The latter
is one that is sadly afflicted with a
party prejudice, that, as a general
rule, settles in the eyes and causes
an unwillingness to see facts Now
if such would consult their own in
terest instead of listening to the
old bloody-shirt ghost stories of
their g. o. p. bosses, they might be
able to see the swindle there is in
the scheme of having money on a
gold basis. We take it that there
is no one outside of the Wall street
business but what is willing to
concede that fifty dollars per capita
is not too large a circulation for
this country. Fifty dollars per
capita would require over $3,OOO,-
100000 of money. This money,
according to the policy of gold
basis, must be gold, or a money
based on gold. S3,000,OOO,OOO is
Just about the amount of gold there
is in all the world, that is used as
money. So to have a circulation of
fifty dollars per capita, in gold, or
money based on gold, would be inn
possible. But in case it were posi-
BILE, then the government, in order
to coin the gold, would have to buy
it, and thereby incur debt of say
$4,000, 100000, paying interest on
every dollar of bonds issued for that
purpose. Thus we see that the ba-
sis of the gold would be the paper
bonds issued by the government.
Then wouldn't the gold basis mon
ey be the credit of the people, OF
the country, after all? Then imag-
inc, if you please, the fearful burden
of interest the people of the coun-
try would have to pay to secure a
gold basis circulation. Say at only
four per cent, it would be $780,
100000 a year. For what? Why,
simply to secure gold basis money
with paper government bonds, on
which the gold must be based. This
YOU see, is money redeemable in
gold, and the gold redeemable in

Why Members Of Labor Organi-
zatiOns Should Accept Ma
tiOnaliSm.

No class of people should accept
the ideas of nationalism quicker
than the members of labor organiza-
tions.
In the east the conditions of life
for the average wage-workers are
appalling. The tremendous STAN
pede for bread is such that thou
sands are only too glad to accept
employment at any terms. They
care not what they get of the fruits
of their labor if the money is suffi-
cient to buy the coarsest food and
clothes and secure shelter.
The New York Sun, which has
never been accused Of Partially
toward the labor movement, says as
the result of it's Investigations that
there are 20, 900 girls and women in
that city whose wages are too small
to support life and who have three
courses open to them, viz, career
of vice, charity or starvation. The
same paper says there are 10000
men in that city permanently unem-
ployed.. The squalor and misery
there, as also in Boston, are fright
full. When the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy engineers, who
belonged to one of the strongest or
CARNATIONS in the country, struck,
they saw men coming up, as it were,
from the ground to take their places.
The capitalists now have the most
powerful weapon that. can conceiev-
ed of to beat down the most efficient
trade union. It's name is surplus
labor"
The eight-hour movement might
mitigate this evil if it is successful.
But in order to enforce the demand
for eight hours the Industrious must
strike. Their places being thus left
vacant, the horde Of idle men will
sweep down and fill them, the strike
will be defeated. The number of
men who are permanently out of
work according to the statistics of
Carroll D. Wright, the head Of the
national bureau Of labor, is over
100000. A careful analysis of
these figures by writer in the now
defunct Workmen's Advocate Of
New York, shows that these figures,
astonishing and pregnant with the
hideOus realities of starvation as
they are, are TOO conservative, and
the figures are nearer 10000
than 100000. Think Of that
number of men seeking work and
unable to obtain it. No one with a
sane mind can say that all these
men are drunkards and loafers.

From Georgia.

We clip the following from the
Iowa Tribune, which hurls the lies
back into the teeth Of the men who
utter them: .
The Southern Alliance Farmer of
Atlanta, Ca, the official organ of
the Georgia State Alliance, in
speaking of the lying statements of
northern papers about the Alliance
men of the south says:
But last Saturday the Capital
came out with report that letter
had been received in that city name
not given of course) from Georgia,
saying that Jerry Simpson, General
Weaver and other calamity howl
ers" will be ku-kluxed if they men
ton a third party in the south.
There are plenty of men in GeOr-
gia who are near enough liars to
have written such letter, for they
will do anything to create rupture
between the southern and western
farmers.
The writer of this article was
with Polk, Simpson and Weaver on
their tour through Georgia, and we
never saw two men receive warm
err or more enthusiastic reception.
Had the slightest insult been offered
them the Alliance men present
would have torn the offender to
pieces. So far from the orators
being forbidden to mention the Peo-
pies party, every time one of them
touched upon the subject his re-
marks were received with deafening
applause. Both Congressman Simp-
son and General Weaver captured
the hearts and confidence of the
farmers of Georgia, and the only
serious danger, they ran was Of
being kidnapped and held here, for
our people were 10th to see them
leave. Their presence in our state
filled the bloody chasm to the brim,
and the last sign of that old ditch
has been obliterated. The Topeka
Capital published wilful and ma
licious lie.
We have just received, also, the
following letter from Col. G. e.
Post, of Douglasville, Ca, Farmers
Alliance lecturer of the Atlanta dis
trict:
DoUGLAsvILLE, GA, Aug. I, 1891.
EDS. TRIBUNE, Des Moines, Iowa,
Dear Sirs: l spoke yesterday at
Temple, Ca, to an audience esti-
mated by the Atlanta Journal re-
porter at between 5000 and 1000
people. At the close of my speech
the chairman of the meeting asked
all who were ready to leave the
Democratic party and join hands
with the men of the west in the
Peoples party to rise to their feet,
and EVERY MAN AND WOMAN AROSE.
You need not fear for Georgia.

as is Kansas.

A BIT OF WORD PAINTING

Every now and then one picks
up tho Salt Lake Tribu ne, and
finds picture-in genere from the
pen Of Charley Goodwin that is as
good as Dickens. Here is a good
specimen picked at random:
On, but has it not been a storm
that sweep the Atlantis and the
British Isles for the last ten days!
Great sea walls, built OF massive
blocka of stone, grouted ,cemented.
and bolted with iron, have been
washed out to sea or beaten to
pieces by the incoming surges.
Rivers have been driven back and
made to overflow the valley, even
as the gods made old Scamandor
piled up it waters to overthrow
the fighting hosts on its banks.
Nobody knows how many ships
have gone down; but the very
best of them come into port bat
tered like bruised prize fighters,
and groggy on their keels like
drunken eladiators, Of the exhaus.
ton made by the warfare of the
sea. And still over the valleys
the sunlight of peace is shining. the
foliage is still green upon the trees.
and such a calm hangs over this
part Of the world as rests over the
twilight of the life of a Sister of
Mercy, a life that has been worn
out in doing good, a soul resting
under that calm which comes when
there is no self reproach to vex it,
No man in the country has done
more actual writing in the last
twenty five years than Charley
Goodwin.
Years ago men predicted that
he would go to pieces If he didn't
quit writing four of five columns
a day, but he merely let himself
out a little more and worked
harder. One ought not to say
work, either. for the writer has
been at bis side by the hour listen
ing to his good stories and watch
ing him write. AS be tells a story
he gesticulatHs with his left hand
and grinds out editorials that are
models Of forceful English, with
his right.
He has written library in
twenty-five years. Had this writ
ing been published 10 books and
pulled by the hired agents of some
big publishing house, his name
would today have been grouped
among the great writer's of Amer
lea, but it was only printed in the
columns of a daily newspaper and
persisted as it was printed.

The question is frequently asked
on the streets:
"When is the Grand Jury going
to meet?
No one seems to know, and it
begins to look as il there would
be no Grand Jury meeting.
The question is also asked:
HAS the Grand Jury been hyp-
notized?'
These questions are being asked
80 often that it would seem about
time for some reply.
If any member of the Grand
Jury wishes to answer either OF
these questions the columns of the

An Editors Trial.

There are some people who seem
to imagine that when they stop their
paper on account of something that
didn't suit them they are Furnishing
the editor. True, the editor regrets
the loss of friends and patrons as
much as AIRY body does, but the ar
ticle which offends one person and
causes him to cut off his patronage
probably pleases a number of Others
who are not taking the paper, and
they come in and subscribe.
There is probably no business which
requires as much care and atten tioh
as the newspaper business, in order
TO make it successful, and especially
is this true in regard 10 the editorial
department. just what to publish
and what not to publish are questions
which constantly come up for deci~
sion, ard dron the good judgement
exercised in decidin. these depends,
in a measure, the success oI the busi-

YOU MUST NOT SMOKE
While Passing Through Our Car. Is
What MnlattO Said to White
Man.

Quite a sensation occurred on the
Georgia railroad accommodation
Saturday night.
1t was brought about by reason of
Mr.. j. L. Floyd, a young white man,
passing through what is known as the
colored peoples car with a cigar il
his mouth. MIR. Floyd had either
started from the smoking car, which
adioins the baggage car, into the
back cars, or else he had intended 20
ing from the back cars into the ..ok
ing car. As Mr.. Floyd was in the
attitude of passing through the negro
coach one of the passengers accosted
him and wanted.a explanation as to
the reason Why he should dare pass
through the car smoking, From all
that could be gathered, it seems that
it mid not take Mr.. Floyd long to ex,
plain himself.
The negro attempted to put Mr..
Floyd ont OF the car, whcreupou a
handeto>haud combat cnsued. Mr.
Floyd sustained very slight injury
under one of his eyes, iron which he
has not lost any sleep. Mr.. Floyt
claims to Fave hit the negro three
times in the face, so it is reasonable
to suppose that he must have peeled
the bark. just as Mr.. Floyd wa
