1t has boon said that consistency is 4
Jewel, and figuratively speaking we be-
| lieve il, but whether true or false
whether the two are identical or not, VIC
at all events find each to be a scarce
commodity in this age of tho political
| aspiration and Peoples party Office
seeking demagogery. Sincerity is com
mendable and often palliates grievous
consequences of mistaken errors, while
full grown, well developed fraud, a
blatant, barefaced, prating inconsis-
tency deserves to be buried quick and
deep beneath the righteous Indignation
of an honest, conscientious people.
But some one may ask, "where lies
the inconsistency" Everywhere and
III overy way Throughout the length,
breadth and depth of this Peoples
party and Independent movement. It's
very conception is an unwarranted my
thical misconceptions. Its foundation is
the inOrdinate d.-sire for Office, pow er
and piIlage that simpels" the entire
horde of place hunters. It's claims and
prOtestations are baseless fabricatiOns.
Its declarations of principles is vague
and ineXplicablc. Its demands, as a
public paper is rare curiosity in its
time, and for reckless extravaganza and
unblushing check it takes the cake.
Claiming to be in the interest of re-
form, law and order, it Institutes sys-
tom of piratical piIlage that respects
not the rights or prosperity of any Imam.
Claiming to oppose class Legislation,
their system is founded i'll selfish class
interest, as their demands are made
from selfish standpoint, and look to
self alone at the expense and subiuga-
tiOn of other citizens.
Pretending to be i'll favor of economy
and retrenchment, they propose TO die
tate policy that would bankrupt the
government, and quadruple the tax
burden to overy man i'll it.
Pretending to favor true Democracy,
they curse Democrats and advocate
measures antagonistic II every princi-
pie of Democracy.
According to late report of Mr..
Foster, Secretary nf the Treasury, we
HAY in circulation at tho present time
a fraction more than $2t por capiIa. In
view of the wild estimates and erro-
neous statements Of the Peoples party
shooters" placing .Ls volume of cur
rency at from IS 10 81 "per capitaw,"
the above figures possess a particular
significance. Like the entire category
of their remaI kable demands and
empty assumption, this hue and cry
about our narrow circulation is princi-
ply bosh and buncomEe.
GlitterIng geucrslities on the part of
tho Republicans and the calamity howl
on the part of McDowellites and INDIE
pendents, cannot successfully disguise
the fact that the Democratic party has
secured the people a liberal circulation
up to the present; and that it will con-
tinue to push this issue in the direction
of greater reforms in the future, cannot
for a moment he doubted.
M ISIS Pattie Moore, an interesting
young lady of Williamsport, accom-
panied by her charming young friend
Miss KiLtie Fleming, whom she Is visit
ing near this place, paid the Vidette a
very pleasant call last Tuesday evening.
