An article Oh THE present Western

of the Bankers Monthly, closes as fol

"Well, we believe that the silver

representatives will never see, nor
will their long ears ever hear the
reading of an Act passed abolishing
the national banks. There docs not
seem to be anything for them to do,
since they pin their faith t. these two
dogmas. Yes, they can vote. but at
whose biddings and on which side will
they vote?'
How do you like that, farmers of
Illinois and of the country? What a
polite, delicate and cultured way these
bankers have of calling you'll ackasses.
The reason for their confident i'll
science is plainly shown in the last
sentence, Yes, you can vote" but as
long rs you vote in either of the Old
parties. both of which they control,
they will run the finances of the
country to suit themselves. In the
words of another banker, The banks
will select the candidates for both
parties and then let the Id fool
people fight over which one of oul
men they'll elect Farmers. do YOU
propose to keep right Gu allowing
yourselves to be made the tools OF
the plutocrats! you do, we won't
defend you from their nsults.-Iow:

The heglra to Europe of opulent
Americans who have grown rich by
the sweat of other mems brows, is
greater this year than ever before in
the history of this country. 1t is es-
timated that 10000 of our people
will travel abroad this year. aud that
they will spend $GO,000,OoO. 1t IS
said that 10000 Americans 1--we in
Europe, and that they spend $40, 900
900 annually. This means the tax
ing out of this country 100000, 900
every year, without any correspond
ing return. If only the laboring,
toiling, tax-paying masses in this
country had sense enough to- 20 to
work and destroy the privileges of
monopoly by which these 100, coo IA
vored American citizens are able to
appropriate and spend $100.000,00O

PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN.

In the preparation for the mighty
struggle which lies just in our front,
personal ambition should be abso-
lutely and literally unknown. The
principles of the new movement are
all in all, and personal preferment of
the least possible consequence. This
is the march of the great column of
the people in sclf-control aud COM
mand. 1t Is the protest of the pop
ular conscience against abuses and
corruption which have sprung from
the subordination of the general
good to the demands of personal am
bit;on. The thirst for official distinc-
ton, together with the lust for wealth
and power, have dcmoralized every
branch of the public service Cor
rupt leadership Of established po!iti-
cal organizations has driven the poo
pie into open revolt, and the masses
have at last taken the matter into
their own hands While they are
masters of the situation, they should
resolve to remain so.
Personal ambition has no place in
this struggle for the liberties Of the
people. 1t is a popular uprising and
should lie its own herald and evan
gel. When the people want officers
to do their bidding they will call for
them, but the servant will not be
greater than the master. This is not
the time TO consider tue merits of in
d,vlduals or to discuss candidates.
That duty will arise at the proper
time, and the people will be found
competent to decide it wisely and
we'll. The cause is everything, and
towers grandly above all personal
considerations. Conferred in it are
the rising hopes of new civilization,
and there is no time to pause and
consider individuals nor their petty
ambitions. In this presence, selfish
ness is profane and intelerable Let
this be our motto: Principles to the
front, men to the rear-Iowa Trib-

be used in the annex and steam power in the

Attached to this great annex will be the

and mark it well, for if it docs not
come true we shall go out of the
prophet business.
AT the coming session of congress
this fall. there will be house of re-
representatives. composed of 236 de-
mocrats, 81 republicans and ALI
ance men.
Remember the rcigning Plutocra-
cy does not care snap whether the
democrats or republicans win in 1892,
but it wants one or the other of them
in sure.
Therefore if it looks as if the pop
ular tide was setting in toward the
democrats it will help that patty, SO
az to be certain and down the Poo
pies Party.
When congress convenes the job
will have been nicely set up.

cahoots with the bought traitors in
the Farmers Cause, will have learn

legislation will be required to hoo
doc the southern democratic farm
ers and thus keep them from joining
the Peoples Party.
The democratic Machiaveli's will
say to the Judas contingent: Nov
speak right up for your hay seed con-
stitutency and tell us how much they
want and we will double the bet, we
are going to play this game to the
limit. We will give the sub-treasury
schemes, government ownership Of

But conceding an impossibility and
say reformatory bill passed this club

to knock it in the heat:.
But in the meantime how the Runko
steercrs in the farmer movement will
swell and exuit. They will say to the
tillers of the soil who are looking
!ongingly at the shining standard of
the Peoples Party.
Behold what these glorious demo

ready to give you all you ask and
more too. If it had not been tor
those Internal republicans, you would
all be wearing silk stockings and dia-

of going near those Peoples Party

And if democratic president be
indeed elected, then Jay Gould, Rock
