This begins to look like getting

the United States court, has rendered q
decision to the effect that trusts have
no legal rights under the laws of Mis-
souri,, and that contracts made by them
cannot be enforced
The bill to reduce the legal rate oi
interest has been defeated in the New
York legislature. Of course it has.
The money, as usual, and the "brains'
were about all arraycd against the
people and again they were sacrificed
After the bill was defeated there was a

who helped kill it. bankers reward

Let it be understood that the re.
casting and the regeneration of the en-
tire financial system of the country is
before the people, and will have to be
noticed in no equivocal way by those
who write the platforms of the parties
next year. This question of financial
reform will not down at the bidding Of
the bosses, and they would just as well
make a note of that fact ind gov

Alliance papers are springing up
everywhere New ones are being
started and old disciples of other par
ties are enlisting under the alliance
banner. This Is true in ali states, par
ticularly of the northwest And go the

papers deserve liberal support, and

We have received from the depart
ment Mt Washington Il copy of a large
pamphlet by the postmastcr-gencral on
postal savings banks. The argument is
good, and the plan is good, only it does
not reach far enough to suit us. We
want no other than national greenbacl1,
or gold and silver money, all on the
same level, handled only by national
banks of the governments own estab-
lishment with officers under bond to
transact the business and receive money
from the people on deposit or loan to
them at two per cent. On landed secur-
ity. If our government can refund the
outstanding bonds at two per cent she
can do as well by the great common
people, otherwise our government is
advertised to be run in the interest of
the moncycd dclasscs.-Labor'S Tribune.
The attempts of the old political
parties to divide the people on the tariff
issue in 1892 will be failure. The
working people are thinking as they
never thought before and the result of
their conclusions in regard to the tariff
question has caused them to see that if
there are any benefits in protection it
is not for them, and if there are any
benefits in free trade it will not be for
them. The laborer knows now that
whatever benefits may be derived from
either system they will he appropriated
long before they reach him. He knows,
in other words, that ''hc is not in it,
and the working classes will turn their
attention to the vital issues, money.

tie these questions and place them on
a proper basis, SO that they may be sin

Phil Chew has retired from the ed
itorial management of the Journal of
Agriculture, and the new editor is
writing paragraphs indicative of his
leaning toward Il third party move
ment. The paper is supposed to be the
organ of the Farmers Alliance, but
with President Hall standing boldly
not have much encouragement from
the rank and file. The Farmers ALI
ancc in Missouri is composed of Mis-
souri, democrats, and the organ will
probably discover this fact in due time.
-Butler Times. All, indeed! Who
told you SO? The journal has already
discovered that the alliance in Missouri
is largely composed of men who used
tn he democrats but will never be
again, and is pruning its sails accord
ingly. In this respect it displays more
wisdom than the Times Union.
The sub-treasury plan cannot be
killed by great constitutional argu-
mcnts, but as soon as ever some man
proposes something better it will die a
natural death. Here is grand oppor-
tunity for destruction without verbal
dcluges or stcntorian combats with
time. In giving away this thing, that
the way to cause the sub-treasury plan
to die is to produce a thing which is
better, all responsibility to the alliance
is here assumed; nay, more, if the pro-
poser of that thing be like Gen. WASH
ington, in that his modcsty surpasses
his merit, if he will send the thing here
the public shall have knowledge of It
But if any man undertake again to say
that the better thing is that tariff re-
form fraud. the Mills bill, and the
wretchedly picayunist and reactionary
financial policy of Cleveland, let such
a man understand that his life will be
in peril We're not Ananias and his
wife Sapphira struck dead for lying?

land and Mills are building wiser than
