THE GREAT QUESTION.

1t IL the National Financial Yssue-Au
Others Are Secondary.
What are the great questions? This
is the query that is propounded to us
every day. We give it one invariable
replyS 1.-THE national financial issue"
In its various phases 1t constitutes the
one supreme question. All other issues
of the peoples party are subsidiary.
The financial issue Is primary-au
others secondary.
The other issues are great and start
ling There is no such thing as com.
pletely separating them, and many will
at first think the land question and the
transportation question of equal inn.
port. But they are not.
So wonderful, so comprehensive, so
full of the most startling crimes and
stupendous robberieS, Is the land issue,
that 1t seems to surmount all others
as it certainly 10 the moat burning in
its immediate and individual effect.
But the moment you begin TO analyze
the land question you strike mortgages
and evictions, and that brings you to
the two per cent. land loan.
The railway syndieates are now
threatening the very existence Of orr
ganized labor, and squeezing a thou
sand millions year out of the people
by an invisible system of taxation
which duplicates the profits of the mid
die man. But the financial issue affects
the stock exchange, and without the
money gamblers and that vast broker.
age system of which banks are the
basic stone the stock gambler would
become paralyzed-
The money question embraces:
l. The philosophy of so=called "hat
money" but which really is the only
secured paper money ever issued, if So
cured on land or purchased property
2. The silver question, which covers
the functions of gold, and the real
value of a valueless standard (valueless
except for its use as money!.
8. The national banking system, and
the outrage of a governments giving
the manufacture of rag baby, unse-
cured currency-which has only paper
bonds back of it and which is not legal
tender-to few rich plutocrats.
4. The land-loan question.
5. The sub-treasury matter.
8, The criminalty of q public debt
which Is continued without warrant of
law, when the money lies idle in the
treasury to remove 1t.
All these issues should be studied by
alliancemen with great care, and you
should see TO il that every man you
trust is sound on them West

hence not all are careful Of their
every move nor feel the deep
responsibility Of steady service, patient
mood and even temper. God help us;
what wreck If we rock our boat and 90
downtown among the wreckage Of
those other struggles of past time.
What agony! What bitter strife before
that next upward, onward effort-sure
sometime to succeed But we need not
have failure this time. A great hope is
with us, and there is hardly such . word
as fail.
We are, however, very near that time
when our enemies are not our greatest
danger. We are close upon some of
those rocks which all history, especially
that supremely tragic struggle, the
| French revolution, teaches us made
final wreck of the ill-manned boats of
reform.
At the very hour when unity of effort,
based on faith in the crew and conf
dence and trust In the commanders
would have carried the boat bounding
along, the rocks of suspicion and dis
trust did their deadly work.
1t ought not to be very hard for old
greenbackers to believe that the all
essential things are faith and trust.
Even as the only safe money is based
on the credit of the government, on the
belief that men will be true to agree
ment, so is the only safety of our re-
form cause based upon prevalent tenn
per of trust and confidence
Whatever tends to create an atmos-
phere of suspicion Is of all things most
dangerous.
The masses of the people are now
sufficiently aroused; they are quite ade-
quately alert for spies and traitors In
camp. Let our writers and speakers
beware how they chafe and infiame an
already over-sensitive populace.
An epidemic of suspicion would be q
hundredfold more dangerous than all
the traitors who will sail with us.
There can be mental epidemics as
easily made contagious as the physical,
and the more devastating because more
subtle and insidious
When once we are truly certain Of q
traitor we can chuck him overheard
with little noise or struggle. There
will be no need to scream and shout
and lurch the boat with panic sou fling.
But let us not scent treason from afar,
or glare distrust at superficial circum-
stance.
Let us believe that a hundred years
have borne us away from factions,
Jacobin and Girondist jealousy and
suspicion.
Let men who know history beware
lest they help history to repeat itself.
Have a care, We who are GLIB of ep-
tibet and swift of condemnation.
Words are dangerous thingA
1t Is criminal carelessness to hurl the
word coward" at brother sailor Just
because his reading of the chart shows
him another course towards the same
port
It is Infamous for loud-throated
sailor to shout traitor" of old tars who
have weathered many gales.
Steer clear of the rock Of distrust.
Steady, there, we are almost in deep
water.
In heavens name, brothers, don't
rock the boat-TopekaA Advocate.

THE WHITES AND THE BLACKS.

The Law of Self-PreservatIOn VIII Compel
Them to Unite to Protect Their Common
Interests.
The idea of conflict of interest be-
tween the whites and blacks of the
south is great absurdity. The factis,
that they are to great extent mutually
dependent upon each other, and there
fore that the most perfect harmony and
unity of interest must exist. The
southern farmer knows and feels It his
duty to protect and assist the poor col
ored people who are his neighbors. No
one realizes better than he, If he allows
sharpers to swindle the oOlored man by
paying him excessively low prices for
his cotton, by taking advantage Of his
necessity for money, that the flooding
of the market with cotton at such low
prices will tend to keep prices low un-
til others whose necessity for money
was less at the beginning of the sea-
son are also compelled to sell at the
same low prices, and their sales will
tend to perpetuate the low prices until
all the crop Is sacrificed on the same
rock. The fact Is, that the law of self
preservation compells the southern
white farmer to take the southern black
farmer by the hand and hold him out of
the clutches OF the exploiter who every
year manipulates the volume of money
so as to develope the power of money
