The alliance in Maryland is thor
oughly awake and proposes to take &
hand in the coming campaign. It 1,
growing rapidly.
Hon. Clarke Lewis, congressman
from Mississippi, has announced his
candidacy for the senatorship in place
of Senator Walthall. Brother Lewis Is
a good man and will make q strong
fight. He stands square on the Ocala

The Capital Is unable to discover
from the Cincinnati platform what is
to be the policy of the peoples party
upon the tariff question. The party is
not responsible for the Capitals lack of
understanding. That is natural de-
feet. The peoples party has under
taken some great reforms, but supply
ing brains to those to whom nature has
denied them is not included in the list
of its Neutrality-suspicious. Advocate.
The industrial organizations of
Kentucky are in the field with full
state ticket They have indorsed the
Cincinnati platform, perfected their
state organization, and elected their
state central committee. Those pres
cnt at the COvington convention stated
that the party would have a candidate
for the legislature in each county; they
did not hesitate to declare that these
candidates would be elected--AdvO-
cate.
The most tremendous engine OF
party power is back of the peoples
party in its wonderful organizations.
1t enters the field with over five mil
lions of members In its various
branches In Wisconsin it will be
spread over the entire state before
January l. In Minnesota it has a gi-
gantic force back of it-and a commit
tee in whom we all have confidence.
Let us move with power and dignity
Great West
The lies of the party press in re-
gard to the peoples party are already
climbing to mountain heights Look
out for them, grangers. When You
see these statements made by our bit
ter foes believe them not. The move
ment is on. 1t is on to stay. You must
expect the most cunning and crafty
opposition. We have no daily papers,
and our several hundred reform papers
cannot meet the issues as promptly as
is desirable. But hold your own with
dignity, and with personal powcr-and
prepare for an awful struggle In 'O2.

No paper in America has made
more determined fight for the demand
that all revenues, national, state or
county. shall be limited to the neces-
sary expense of the government, eco
nomically and honestly administered"
than the National Economist 1t start
taxes and the burden of its constant
song has been the reduction of expenses
by the general government And the
Charleston World acuses the National
Economist of opposing these principles
because it refuses to participate in the
partisan fight on the tariff question:
Economist
0-The Boston Morning Journal, COM
menting upon that part of the Cincin-
natl platform relating to the issue of
legal tender currency, says: ut thus
adopts the craziest features of the fear
full and wonderful financiering which
has wrecked the Argentine republic"
Nothing but ignorance or a disposition
to willfully misrcprcscnt the facts could
induce a statement of this kind There
is not a single point of resemblance be-
tween the financial system of the Ar
gentinc republic and that Recommended
in the Cincinnati platform. and anybody
with the sense of an oyster ought to
know it.-Advocate.
Economists have for 500 years been |
trying to adjust the volume of money
to the available amount of precious |
metals This is, and must always re-
main. rs impossible as 'squaring the |
circle. because the metals always run |
away and hide in time of trouble, war
or civil commotion. The real problem
is to-day the same as it has always
been. and it is a very simple one-to |
adjust the volume of money to the vol |
ume of commerce. All that is ncces-
sary is to permit the commodity to fin |
ish its own flux, be its own security,
float itself into market This is the es-
sence of the sub-treasury plan.
The Dallas News, a representative |
southern democratic paper, in a lengthy |
editorial on the prospects of the final |
strike for justice, among other things |
says: 1T would be premature to spec
ulate as to the precise consequences of |
the apparition of this new party. |
Doubtless it has come to stay, and it |
has fate-like glance in relation to po-
litical events in 1892. The forces capi- |
talized in the peoples party may meet
with defeat in its first campaign, but
they will not relax or dissolve. It is |
the nature of such forces to accumulate
with resistance and to gain fresh i'm
petus for renewed onset after every
baffied effort 1t is important, then. in
view of the possibility, if not probabil-
ity. of the ultimate success of this party,
to understand that the money question
is its main issue"
