represent this measure will never
satisfy tho people. The issue must
be met fairly, and the arguments
in favor of the proposition must be
fairly refuted. No amount of mis-
representation will change the pur-
pose of the people in regard to the
enactment of this plank of our plat
form into law. II it is wrong, we
must be shown wherein it is wrong.
II it involves any injustice to the gov
eminent or to any portion of our
people, 1t must be shown clearly and
fairly in what that injustice consists.
When this is done we are ready to
abandon it, but it will never be aban-
doned in consequence of the persis-
tent misrepresentation and ridicule to
which it is subject.
The Capital in the same article in
which this subject is treated, also
deals with the subject of the redemp-
tion of government bonds in legal
tender money. We shall deal with
that subject in another article.

fences Of life than it does now? If 80,
when was it Ottumtra Courier.
We don't believe it ever did. Oats
16 cents per bushel; section hands 80
cents per day; starved women max
ing shirts at 3 cents apiece. The
John Sherman contraction policy has

RcGn, September ~, 1891.
Will the Republican tell us of q
Republican state in which the ALI
ance has endorsed the Peoples party7
Give us the record. II the editor of
the Republican cared to tell it's read
ers the truth he would tell them that
the Peoples party is thoroughly or
ganized n Texas, the champion Dem
ocrstic state of the solid south, and
that the members of the Texas ALI
ance, with the exception of Hall and
McAlister's renowned Fort Worth
thirty-seveD, are solid for it. Further,
If the Republican and others of it's
ilk will possess their souls in peace
for a short time they will find all the
Peoples party they want to see in
every state in the south; and they
will not have to wait long, either. 1t
is an exhibition of gall seldom
equslled and never excelled, for the
Republican party, which is now fus-
ing with the Democracy to defeat the
Peoples party, to talk about the
Democratic proclivities of the ALI
ance.
Republican leaders will do we'll 10
perfect their arrangements for fusion
in every southern state in the union
as soon as possible, The time is near
at hand when they will need the
united strength of the plutocratic
element of both parties. Get togeth-

we redeem these bonds at the end Of FIVE years
Of the same kind Of money, of the same intrinsic
value lt was at the time It was Issued.
But to put a final quietus upon this
question we quote the following from
the report Of the finance committee
Of the United States Senate through
it's chairman, John Sherman, SUBJ
mitted December 7, 1869, as follows:
It Is clear that If the bonds are "Uayable" when
due in legal tenders, they are 'redeemable" after
i've years from the date In the same kind Of
money. The word payable Imports q duty or
or obligation which must be performed at the
time stipulated. The word ''redeelnable" i'm.
plies a discretionary power which may be or
may not be exercised. But the same kind Of
money, In the same mode rendered, will redeem
q note or ply a note.
The entire report of the committee
clearly demonstrates that the bonds
were payable in legal tender currency;
and there was no other thought on
the part of the people or Of their rep
resentatives, except such Of them as
were in the secret Of the great con-
spirscy by which the financial policy
OF the government was shaped, at
that time, in the interest Of the bond
holder and for the robbery of the
people.
Senator Morton, in the discussion
of the infamous measure above re-
ferred to the "Oredit Strengthening
ACt") tells us it's object very clearly
in the following paragraphs:
And now PROFOUND this question: 1t is
either intended by this bill TO make new con-
tract or It is not. II it Is understood to make
new contract l protest against It, We should do
foul Injustice to the government and people Of
the United States, after we have sold these
bonds at an average Of not more than sixty
cents on the dollar, now to make new contract
for the benefit Of the bOndhOlders. 1t gives to
those laws construction that do not believe In,
and that / have shown Is cOntradlcted by at
least four acts Of Congress.
Sir, 1t is understood, believe, that the pas
sage Of q bill OF this kind would have the effect
in Europe, where our financial questions are not
well understood, TO increase the demand. and
that will enable the great operators to sell the
bonds they have on hand at q profit. 1t Is In
the nature Of a brokers' operation. 1t is bull
movement to put up the price Of bonds for the
interest Of persons dealing In them. This great
interest 10 laundering at the doors Of Congress,
and has been many months, and by every means
attempting TO drive us into legislation for the
purpose Of making money for the great opera
tors. This is what 1t means and nothing else.
This "bull movement in the in
terest of the bondholders succeeded,
as every other step in the infamous
conspiracy preceding it had sue
ceeded; and the result was precisely
as Mr.. Morton indicated. The price
Of bonds rose in the market and i'm
mense fortunes were thus leglslated
into the pockets of those unscrupulous
speculators. The original contract
was changed by this act, and gold is
paid where legal tenders were prom
