A REMARKABLE ASSERTION.
Cleveland's Friend Argues That Wealth
Be Made q Basis of Representation.

Cleveland's Friend Argues That Wealth
Be Made a Basis of Representation.
In his argument before the supreme
court of Wisconsin, in the case of the
Wisconsin legislative gerrymander, SEN
ator Villas, who appeared for the Demo-
Gratis, and who lost his case, defended
the legislatures action in composing one
district of $4,000 and another of $4,000
by arguing that the smaller district had
the larger assessed valuation of prop
erty, and that wealth is entitled to rep
resentation.
This is the natural view of the class Of
Democratic Mugwumps into whose
hands the Democratic party has fallen
by its capitulation to Grover CleFeland.
Villas was Cleyeland's postmaster gen.
eral and secretary of the interior. He
is now Cleveland's friend and confiden-
tial adviser, and he advances seriously
before the highest court Of his state the
proposition which, reduced to logical
issue, means nothing more nor less than
that Mr.. Jay Gould should be constituted
at once an entire congressional district.
If wealth is entitled to representation
few districts are to be made small in
population according as they are rich
in money, then Mr.. Gould is unques-
tionably entitled to elect at least one
congressman. The Astors and the Van
derbilts, the Standard Oil monopolists
and the great trusts would soon, accord
ing to the Villas view, become the sole
devisers of public laws and policies.

| am in favor of abolishing the force
bill now used by an intolerant Democ-
racy, and applied to whites and blacks
who differ from them politically. In
other words. believe the ballot should
be for the voter, and not the voter for
the ballot. Why, in many places in the
south men have been voting their dogs
and mules for years. They give the
animals names, have them registered,
and then take them to the polls and cast
votes in their names,
The all important and living issue
now before the people of America is to
wipe out forever the intolerant, vindic-
tive, slavemaking Democratic party
that has ever been protest against
progress and has become in its blind
hatred menace to good government
and free institutions.

PECK SUSTAINED.
Statements from Individual Manufacturer
by Hundreds Fully Sustain the
Accuracy Of His Report.

The four Democrats who had the bad
taste to question the accuracy Of Com
missioner Peck figures because he re-
fused to give names of manufacturers
are sorry now that they did so. That
action was a boomerang. It stirred up
the Manufacturers' league to look into the
matter, and they have obtained state
ments from thousands of manufacturers,
over their own names, showing an in
crease both in wages and production.
These manufacturers are scattered
through New Jersey, New York, Con-
necticut and elsewhere, and show in
crease in wages paid under the McKin-
ley law from 10 to 40 per cent. Many
of them also show large increase in pro-
duction and number Of people employed,
the production in many cases having
doubled since the Mckinley law went
into effect. The league has made the
figures public, and invited every one in,
terested in the question of the effect Of
the Mckinley law to examine them.

WOULD IMPovERIsH THE WEST.

State Banks Would he Especially Disas-
trous to That Section.
We cannot comprehend how any west
tern or southern man especially can IA
vor the issue of state currency. 1t could
not be made legal tender, as this is
expressly prohibited by the constitution
of the United States. This policy would
discriminate against the west and south,
and in favor of the great banks in New
York and the eastern money centers.
The currency of these great money CEN
tiers would circulate everywhere at par.
This proposition is clear and needs no
argument. Western bank notes would
be thrown out by the eastern banker,
discounted and sent home. The west
would be impoverished and pay eontin-
ual tribute to the east in its exchanges.
This would be necessarily the result and
not the fault of the east, but brought
about by the system. This policy would
more and more enrich the great money
centers of the east, and more and more
tax the producers of the great west and
south. Western Financier.

DEMOCRATS LOVE CLEVELAND

Because He slapped the Pensioners In
the Face"
Harrity knows and the Democratic
committee knows that Cleveland vetoed
more pensions for the beggars than all
the other presidents from the days OF
the great Lincoln.
The record was written clear. He
slapped the grave robbers in the face
whenever he got chance, and the signs
of the times indicate that he will slap
'em all again when they show up their
hands to loot the treasury.
Cleveland is the man for the south
and the north is no good except where
it is Democratic.
Western states are going for the Pop
ulists, the south is going solid for Cleve-
land, and Harrison is not to be in it.
Cleveland is the man. He is the fell
low who refused to come and shoot
Yankee lead into tho southern soldiers.
He had too much sympathy for the
homes and the people of the south. He
merely hired cheap substitute, and
saved himself for the duties which will
deyolve upon him in the ides of March,
and which did devolve upon him in the
year Of 18S4.-Durham Globe, Oct. 10

Will You Permit Them to Be Carried Out

That the Democrats are preparing for
enormous and unblushing frauds in the
election in New York and other states
is evident from developments made by
the agents of the Republican national

to Troy and Albany says that he called
on Democratic worker there named
McDermott, who said:

register from here I will swear that you have
lived with me six months. will have lot OF
names registered from my house that won't be

A INDUSTRIOUS PROPOSITION
POpufists' Plans for Demonetfzasfon Of
All Gold and Silver Coin and Sub
stitution Of irredeemabfe
Paper In It's Place.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-The real plans
OF the Populists, with reference to the
finances Of che country, arc beautifully
illustrated by bill a. R. 1850 intro
duced In congress by that shining light
OF the third party-Jerry Simpson. II
shows not only the intention of estab-
fishing the bonded warehouse sys-
tenn" with high salaried officers in
every county of every state In the
Union, but, what is far more important,
develops plan for withdrawing from
circulation every dollar of coin, gold or
silver, in the country and issuing frre-
deemable paper money in It's stead.
Then so far as the aims Of the Populists
are comprehended, It Is certainly under
stood that they aim b bring about the
immediate free coinage Of silver. This
indeed supplies one Of their strongest
grounds of appeal to western voters.
But this bill. offered by their principal
mouthpiece in congress, ordains the
cessation of all coinage, whether of sill
yer or gold, above the value of twenty
five cents. The real purpose of tho Pop
uist leaders is thus clearly exposed.
The bill, after providing for the estab-
lishment of warehouses and retinue of
officers in every county, has the follow
ing remarkable proposition: -
SEC. Is. That one rear from and after Nae
passage Of this act tho coinage Of gold and
silver coins above the denomination Of twenty
five cents shall cease, and three years from the
passage of this act such coins shall no longer
be legal tender, and the United States shall
provide for the redemption Of all such coins at
their face value by exchanging for them legal
tender paper money, and manufacture them
into bars and keep the same on sale.
Here is fiat money" indeed, pure
and simple-a proposition actually to
demonetize all the gold and silver money
of the country and issue irredeemable
paper money, with nothing behind 1t ex-
cept the say of the government!
Do you propose to vote with party
advocating such amonstrous proposition
as this?
