GOOD REGIONS
Why the Peoples Party should Elect tIs
Next President.

Why the Peoples Party should Elect tin
Next President.
Should the republicans elect the
president, the utmost they could ac-
complish in the way of legislation
would be the redemption of their plat
form promises. The people would still
be left groaning under % the Mckinley
tariff, (2) the national banking system,
(3) the contraction of currency, ~ cor
poration rule and 81 the exemption of
millionaires from taxation on their in
comes. Let the republicans win at the
next election, and it may be fairly said
that government by the people is dead,
and that class rule is petpetuated
Suppose every plank of the democratic
platform enacted into law, what relief
would come to the masses of the people?
The national banks would remain; tar
if burdens, if molested at all, would be
only scaled slightly; corporations would
retain their special privileges; currency
would remain contracted, and only be
filtered out to the people through the
banks. We deal generously with either
party in admitting their honest inten-
ton to redeem platform pledges. The
democratic platform of 1884 demanded
the gold and silver coinage ''of the con-
stitution." The coinage of that era was
free and unlimited gold and silver, up
on ratio of fifteen to one. Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected upon this platform.
The first thing he did after election was
to truckle to Wall street, and repudiate
this free silver pledge.
Both parties are responsible for the
vicious legislation which now Expresses
the country.
In 1878 the millionaires demanded the
repeal of the income tax. Democrats
and republicans united in obeying. In
the senate, only two democrats voted
against the repeal; the house vote is not
recorded. In February, 1878, an effort
was made to restore the law. It failed
Had the democrats, who-under the
lead of S. S. Cox, Fernando Wood, and
Mr.. Springer of the present
democratic house-voted against the
proposition, voted in favor of it, it
would have succeeded. Another at
tempt in the following June failed for
a similar reason.
Upon the tariff question the record
is much the same. Neither of the old
parties will support bill that is not
distinctively protective. Economist

IT IS MARCHING ON.

Nationalistic Resolutions Adopted BY the
Peoples Party Of Santa Cruz County,
Cal.
The peoples party of Santa Cruz
county, Cal, in convention assembled,
formulated and adopted the following
radical resolutions:
Whereas, The deplorable condition OF finance
and industry in our common country justifies
our united effort in wrestling the control of our
nation from the grasp Of corporations and syn
dicates, and in restoring the republic to the
common people with whom it originated, there

tons and declaration Of independence:
Resolved, That to the producer belongs all
the products Of his labor.
Resolved, That any business. or any industry
which requires the service OF the people to
operate 1t, and requires the patronage OF the
people to sustain it, is not the business of any
one man. or any set of men-it Is the business
of the nation
Resolved, That in order that the people shall
be fully Independent politically, industrially
and financially in the possession Of "a govern
ment OF the people, for the people and by the
people, the nation must possess and operate
all the means Of production and distribution.

100000 and 25, 900 own half the total

Labor" says Karl Marx, ''is
bought at it's exchange value and sold
at it's use value. Exchange value is the
least amount that will permit the Ia
borer and his family to live, while the
use value is all the employer can
squeeze out of it.
The democrats all over the south
are exhorting the colored vote to stay
with the republican party. One colored
orator in Texas said to his audience the
other day: ''There must be something
wrong with both old parties when the
democrats advise us to stay with the re-
publicans," and he advised his hearers
to vote for the peoples party. The col
ored vote will be cast almost solid for
the populist ticket in the southern
states.-Pueblo (Col.) Coming Crisis.
The true value of money cannot be
gagged by the current rate of interest,
but only by it's ability to command the
products of labor. Twenty-Five years
ago in many western states the current
rate of interest was 20 per cent, where
it now does not exceed 8 or 10. Yet,
that money is of greater value in those
states now than it was then, is demon
strated by the fact that So or $40 will
buy more of labor's products now than
$50 would have bought then.-National
Economist.
This is year to vote for principle.
Judge Walter O. Gresham proposes to
do it. Personal considerations pre-
vented him from accepting the Omaha
nomination, but he is a new party man.
To committee of the peoples party
which called upon him, he said: II
will make a speech in Chicago during
the campaign, indorsing your platform
and your candidate. 1, heartily SYM
pathize with you in this movement, but
I am too i'll to carry your banner.
New Nation.
The democrats in Missouri denounce
the republican attempt at force bill,
and yet the Missouri legislature passed
force bill for voters here in Missouri
by which independent voters have to
buy their right to suffrage Let all
honest men stand up for the right to
vote in Missouri. and elect peoples

iquitous three per cent. clause too dead

ham, Neff, Baskin and Missouri

People should not conclude there is
no tariff question in this country SIM
ply because the two old parties occupy
the one extreme on the problem. There
is tariff question, and those who be-
ieve in human liberty are as much OPP
posed to a tariff for taxtion as for pro-
lection. Any system of taxation that
falls as heavily upon the man who de-
ponds entirely upon his days labor for
bread, clothing and shelter as it does
upon the man who owns millions of
wealth, is unjust. It is as unjust to
raise revenue for the support of the
government by tax on the necessaries
of life, as it would be to raise it by a
poll tax.-Omaha Tocsin

Some Advice to Democratic Organ-A
Plea of Not Guilty Not Sustained.
The st. Louis Republic, which has
throughout been inclined to treat the
peoples party with commendable de-
gree of fairness, in an editorial July
IA, recites the complaints made in the
preamble, and assents that every COM
plant made is well founded; or, at
least, does not attempt to controvert a
single one Of them. But the editor of
the republic then says:
''How can the leaders and teachers of
the peoples party include the democ-
racy in their condemnation when the
democracy have not had even an oppor-
tunity to show what they can or might
do for thirty years."
In the very same paper on the very
next page is given an account of the
defeat of the reconciliation of silver
in the house of representatives with
its democratic majority of about $50,
and that, too, after the bill had been
passed by the republican senate. A
few issues back the Republic gave the
report of the democratic national

nized the protection" feature in the
tariff as plainly as did the republican
platform. This coupled with the work
of the present house with its large
majority, not daring to attack but a
single point in the tariff, and that
point one which must add to the ben
efits Of the protected interests, we are
compelled to say that the Republics
plea of not guilty cannot be sustained,
and we hope it will never again be of
fered in the great trial now going on
before the people.-Progressive Farmer.

In careless ease within their tents
Two men we're dreaming of the hour
When Sodth and West in suppliance bent
Should tremble at their power.

Each one beheld the goldbug ring
Rally round his cause and sing,
And wild their hopes and gay OF wing
