| Such loan mas ever been made IL WAS done
without authority OF law. 1t Is true that under

customs duties. This is done. not for the bene-
tit Of the banks, but solely for the convenience

rIty in United States bonds equal TO the amount
OF deposits. and the money may be drawn oy

public money other than that derived from Gus

believed and proclaimed at the time
that this was neither authorized by
law, nor was it good policy The
money should have becu promptly used
in the purchase payment Of the public debt
No such deposit made Oy a Republican ad-

Withdrawn as rapidly was prudent | know
of no case IN the history of our government
where money has been loaned to individuals in
this respect. The proposition to loan money 10
farmers at per cent is entirely novel and with

JOHN SHERMAN
Now listen TO what the Globe Democrat
further says of him:
John sherman, sixteen or eighteen years
ago in the senate, did more than any other man
toward bringing about the enactment OF the
specie resumption law, and as secretary of the
treasury subsequently he made resumption =
fact end lifted every element of the nations
circulating medium to a par with gold For
this service he has received the plaudits OF
Democrats and Republicans. and has been
praised by hnancierS in every country in the
world. Let the Peoples party, therefore. be-
ware about attacking him on his financial REQ
ord. That way madness lies
l also clip this editorial from the Globe
Democrat of 18th inst:
The Peoples party viii not hurt Maj Nc
hinley IN Ohio. Its platform is such wild
and preposterous affair that Intelligent voters
Will laugh it TO scorn, and give their support
TO the Republican ticket"
Now let US all put our shoulders to the
wheel like true and tried patriots, and
show them that we will never again allow
that party to rob and plumber the people,
that we have it in for them, and will do all
in our power to demoliSh Mckinley, John
Sherman and their hosts.
Again we clip from the Globe-Democrat
of same date:
Mills of Texas said in one of his speeches in
] InFt FA1lN r41l .s.n11r
eign nations. receiving their gold ard silver and
keeping il here for in six and a half years, at
the present rate OF shipments, we could possess
the world entire stock Of gold and silver. The
Texan statesman appears to think that
receiving immense sums OF the worlds gold
these days, while every other man OF average
intelligence knows that the country has ex-
ported about $40 in gold this year for every 81
that ii has imported. This is the same Mills
who has been telling the IOwans that the for
eign trade OF the country is decreasing, when
the records show that it is larger than at any
previous time in the annals OF the country.
ROGER, in 1891, has broken his big record Of 1888
for ignorance and mendacity.'
We have heard it said that the Mckinley
tariff was a good thing, but here we find
that the Democratic champion on tariff is
going to have all the worlds supply of
gold in six and Il half years" while the
Globe-Democrat, Mckinley organ, tells US
plainly that we are now shipping from thi,
country $40 for every 81 we receive. So we
must conclude that both are frauds of the
deepest dye.
The Democrat pays its respects 10
Governor Campbell in this style:
Governor Campbell insists that the silver
issue is not an important one in Ohio this year.
but he VIII discover that he IS mistaken a. the
campaign progresses. His party is committed
to free coinage, and he will nave 20 defend that
heresy every time he makes u speech"
Here is Democratic nominee proclaim
ing 10 the world that free coinage of silver
i- i'm, .t.nf T-al
Ohio There is one thing very evident, he
is either too ignorant to know, or too tricky
to own that his party IS pledged to free
coinage in Ohio. In either case il shows
that he is unworthy ana not entitled TO the
confidence or SufrageS OF the people Let's
send men over there and learn him that il
IS important with US, and will be to The man
who gets the election from that state for
United States senator, and that there shall
be no lodging the issue.
RAISING MONEY FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
II would be well for you to consider ways
and means as you go along and see that an
efficient plan is adopted for that purpose.
HOLDING THE NEXT STATE CONVENTION.
l believe that we should here fix date
not later than Feb. LIST, 1892 for holding
state convention for the purpose of electing
delegates TO the national conference which
meets FEB. %, 1892, and 10 transact such
other business as may be necessary.
Submitting these suggestions for your
careful consideration, asking that you act
cautiously, which | believe you will do and
assuring You that the Peoples partyof Tex
