cauSr- TicksbUrg Commercial Herald
In the LEADER of March Goth, in
referring to the opposition of Senators
George and Walthall to the Sub
Treasury hill, we called the attention
of Alliance men to the fact that the
Democratic leaders in this State had
little or no voice in shaping the fnan-
cial policy of the National party, but
always meekly deferred in such mat
tiers to the voice of the North and
New York and Wall street in particu
lar, and here is almost literal rciter-
alton of our remarks from one OF the
leading Democratic journals of the
State.
Though we cannot say much for the
Herald's discretion, its candor ia ad-
mirable. To expect the Democratic
party to countenance tire Subj,
says the Herald, is to expect it to
commit self-destructiOn. Why Be-
cause it would "alarm the conserya
tive masses in the North and drive
them to support the Republican nom
inee next year"
Oh, no, it will never do to alarm the
conservative masses in the North, and
especially the conservative million
aires and monopolists of New York !!
no matter what the farmers and Ia
borers of the South or any other part
of the Union must suffer. No, indeed
that will never do. New York is es-
sential to Democratic success. Her
35 electoriol votes cannot be ignored
or jeopardized. She holds the key to
the situation, and her money bags, rs
usual, must dictate the party policy.
1t is the same old story, and what
the Herald SO frankly states is what
Senators George, Walthall and other
party leaders are thinking, but not
hence their desperate eff
forts to hold the Alliance down. The
National Democracy must he saved
and the capitalists of the North must
he propitiated, no matter what the
people are suffering at home.
The naked, unvarnished truth Of the
whole matter, as we have said before,
is, that the financial policy of both
of the old parties is dictated by the
money power, and both need bringing
to their senses by the farming and
laboring classes of the country stand
ing shoulder to shoulder and demand
ing their rights,
For the farmers to stand together
and elect two Sub Treasury Senators
from this State will go an immense
distance toward SOLDERING the leaders
of both old parties and warning them
that the people are terribly in earnest,
and the lesson will he as good for one
set of old party leaders as the other.
The National Democratic party has
been posing as the special champion
and sympathizer of the dear farmer
and laboring man for 10 these many
years, and yet it has its Standard Oil
millionaires in the L. S. Senate and
in the Cabinet shaping the party
policy, and a millionaire railroad mag
late rs chairman of its Executive
Committee, who is so far above the
masses that he cannot travel on the
same train with the common people,
but rides everywhere in a private pal
ace car of his own.
Yes, by all means, us the Herald
says, let the people keep it clear in
their minds that it is the Subj. on
one side and this sort of "Democra-
cy" on the other.

Senator George "fudged" on the Con-
