How about the solid south?
Tom Watson proved his case.
Have you heard from Alabama?
If you believe in silver, vote for sill
yer.
The intelligent citizens of Alabama
are in the peoples party.-Iowa Trib-
une.
The Denver News says Nevada is
all of one mlnd-al for Weaver, and
that Colorado will soon be the same.
-''Shall we have a force billT' Is
question that number of our ex-
changes are asking. Not if the peoples
party ywins.-Progressive Farmer.
-Two-t thirds of the union printers of
Omaha are peoples party men and a
peoples party club of sixty printers
was recently organized in the Daily
Public Office.
The bosses may make up their
minds that the Alabama racket can't
be worked in Texas. Texans are de-
termined to have a fair count this time.
A word to the wise is sufficient South
ern Mercury.
The 100 cents than which gold
bugs declare the good dollar is never
worthless, find fully 30 per cent of
their value in the fact that the govern
ment fiat" declares of each one of
/ them, this is lone cent. nt."-Economist.
| The Homestead strike, the Tennes-
see strike, the Buffalo strike, the Coeur
d'Alene strike, all running at once, all
being met by bayonets and Gatling
/ guns are sorry comment on the great
happy and prosperous American work
ingmen" of whom the Mckinley pirates
prate.-Pittsburg Kansas.
Money is not property, neither is
property money Money is created by
law, property is created by labor.
Money is anything that will extinguish
a debt at the will of the debtor without
the consent of the creditor, hence all
money is fat money. There can be no
money but fat noney.-Southern Mer-
curry.
"A money that is not full legal
tender is a dishonest money. A gov
ernment that issues it is a dishonest
government A clique or class that
profits by its issue are dishonest peo-
pie. A party that advocates the con-
tinued existence of such money is dis
honest party and should be voted out
of power. Herald
Democratic papers of the north are
claiming that Kolb was stronger than
the peoples party in Alabama, and
that, therefore, Cleveland will carry
the state in November. The facts are
exactly the reverse, as Kolb could not
poll over rs per cent. of the anti-Cleve-
land vote of that state. This fact is
conceded by all who know the situation
from personal observation.-Nati
Economist
1t may be Of interest to all laboring
men to note what papers favor the
Homestead workers and which favor
the Carnegie. They can then tell which
party they will find their friends in.
Almost without exception republican
papers espouse the cause of monopoly
against the workmen, and with equal
unanimity the peoples party papers
spontaneously take up the cause of
labor Let railroad men and all the in
dustrial hosts note the contrast-Fort
Scott (KaE-) Lantern.
The additional tax levied on the
coal consumers of the country by the
Reading combine is at the rate of $3.50,
600 month, or % 900, 600 year. This
Is about equal to the interest at the
present quotations on nearly s4O0, 900,
600 of government bonds, or ope-half
our interest-bearing bonded debt. The
theory in this country is that corpora
tions are the creatures of the people,

There is no place on earth that an
American silver dollar is worth less OF
will buy less than an American gold
dollar. Neither Of them is legal tender
in foreign countries, but in London, fol
instance, silver coin will be exchanged
at its face value, exactly the same as
gold You can state it as broadly as
you please, and no man can meet the
statement with proof to the contrary.
The United States is back of every sill
yer dollar issued There is no such
thing as deprecated or seventy-cent
silver lar.-Nonconformist.
The whole labor problem, briefly
stated, involves the right of men to liv.
by employing their powers upon the re
; rights of capital above those of men a.
proclaimed by modern custom and Law
is denying that right. Labor is contin
ually on the rack compelled to earn tive
: dollars for capital before it can carr
one for itself This system is practically
: giving capital, or those who monopoliz
); | it and with it the natural resources o
t earth, the power of life or death owe
the individuaL-Omaha Tocsin.
The financial community looks will
complacency at the nomination o
1 Messrs. Harrison and Cleveland for tn
; presidency. Both have sound views ol
: the currency, and finances of the coun
: try will be safe in the hands of either
4 This is a strong point for Wall an,
I State streets, as it precludes any at
\ tempt of bear traders to depress stock
. and securities on the ground that tn
financial policy of either candidate is t
be questioned, or that an element O
:, uncertainty might be engendered b.
the candidacy of a man whose views o.
: the currency are in doubt-Bosto
