ALL wealth comes from mother
earth. When wheat was worth $l.2
it took 10000 bushels to raise $40, ,O0t
taxes. Now that it is worth GO cents
it takes 33, :s:53 bushels. 1t now takes
of your wheat to pay the salary o
Sl,5O0 to your register Of deeds 2,5O(
bushels, when it was $1.0O it took
1900. In other words that salary that
was fixed by law is worth 1000 bush
els OF wheat more than formerly. The
reduction of price has been caused by
the contraction of the currency. Re

Some one may now ask why | don't
become mcm''ercf the Peoples party.
and. ra her than waste words later
on will answer the query now. The
platform and principles Of the Peoples S
party are right: they are the only ones
that stand tor the masses / Will vote
them this wear, next year and every
year until they become successful.
When they do win then the rascals of
every shade of political belief will
change coats and become members of
the party of the people. They will
rush in for the purpose of picking the
plnmbs. and after time the new party
will begin to grow corrupt. as did the
party which follow the abolition agi:a-
ton. | would dislike to have 20 change
my party again, and it is best that |
just stay as | am.
The new movement is only the old
battle for right under q new name. 1t
is doing good, it will do good, and il
will have the earnest support OF all
who think, study and work. 1t is the
movement of the people. and it will
continue to remain SO until the people
| themselves slacken their efforts and
forget to be viailant: when they do the
old enemy will again take possession.
Being believer in the referendum,
l would rather belong to the people
than a party Of any kind; but in the
meantime. and until true method ol
conducting democracy true demo
cratic principles the Peoples party is
good enough for me to support.
! Now, that [ have answered youl
question, let r>e pu: one to every in
austrian in the United States: Can
you make a bigger mistake by voting
as intend to, with the Peoples part,
than with either Of i:le other two?

The Isutcs.

At each session OF Congress the
House spends more or less valuable
time in pc:fecting Il set of rules by
which it is governed. Sometimes
weeks and months are consumed in
this task TO the general public it
appears that these rules are made to
facilitate business, but that is not the
case; they are made for the sole and
only purpose of obstrlicting the trans
action Of business. To such an extent
has this been carried, that under the
rules nothing conll be done if Il few
members saw fit to stand in the way.
In fact when Congress wants to trans
act any business, the rules usually are
suspended in order that business may
be transacted. Jus. think of the alb
surdity of spending the hard-carncd
money of the people in building up a
code of rules that are SO burdensomc
and unprotected that when it is dcsira-
ble to transact any legislation it must
be thrown aside to permit its being
