for his visionary ramblings. They, too,
are coming to understand that the bnrd-
en- Of all he and his followers ares claim
ing as to the destitution and distress OF
the people and the scarcity Of money n
the United States is absolutely false.
4 The reports Of the Treasury show COM
| clusively that there is at the present day
more than s., 800, ,OOO, 900 Of currency in
Ici1eulation among the people OF the unl-
ted States; about $25 for each man wo-
man and child. That is more money per
Icapita than has been in circulation at
any other time since the foundation OF
/ the Government. The banks all over
the United States are to-day full OF de-
posts which belong to the people. I'm
ider our system Of deposits and check, we We
make dollar do the work that two or.
three dollars used to do III transactlng
business. The people know this; and
their confidence is becoming stronger
every day IN the monetary system OF this
| Nation. They have learned by years OF
experience that all the money now IN CIR
culation IN the United States is good, and
that one dollar is just as good as-another,
under the management and laws passed
| by the Republican party. As that fact
dawns upon them, they are becoming
largely averse to any radical change, and
cannot be led into the camp Of visionary
people, who think that the wants Of the
great multitude can be supplied simply
by printing paper money.
The platform Of the Peoples party IS
such a monstrous collection of falsehoods
as to the condition Of the country and it
proposes remedies which are 50 obnoxi--
Gus TO every person who has grain Of
common sense, that no party founded on
such basis can for any length ct time
make much headway among intelligent
people.
IN view Of these facts make the fol-
lowing predictions aboutthe greatN orth-
west:
Iowa will go Republican in the com
ing election surely and largely. The
State is safely Republican, as is Vermont
or Ohio
The Democratic party can by no pos
sibility get any Of the greatN orthWestern
States.
The Peoples party may secure some
where in the Union a few electoral votes
| could not myself to-day name a single
Northern State that believe they will
carry. They may carry two OF three
Southern States, but they will be count
ed out
The contest, which seemed to me two
months ago somewhat doubtfulin Iowa
and Illinois, is now running entirely in
favor Of the Republican party. | say
this in full Viewzof the fact that ssThe
New York World is now raising q cor
ruption fund to carry the West. They
may raise the fund, but they will lose
the money. Their defeat will be
equalled only by the disaster which fol-
lowed the immense amount Of Doodle
spent last spring in the State Of Rhode
Island. was IN that contest, and saw
the frantic efforts made and knew some
thing of the money squandereds to carry
Iout the predictions in which they had
INDUCED. Their rout at the polls was
4 complete and overwhelming. The re-
A suit in the Northwest will be precisely
the same. The people who compose
the Life and energy and intelligence Of
the great Northwest are not to be car
ried away by any such boodling scheme
as that now proposed by .'The New
i York World Go on, gentlemen
Raise the money, and use it if you viii
I know of no better rat hole il which to
. sink it.
The money squandered in that scheme
will dono damage anywhere else.
If Mr.. Cleveland is elected President
it will not be done BY the Northern
States west Of the Mississippi River ol
4 those bordering on that stream. In many
Of those states M. Weaver will get a
large vote, drawn mainly from the Dem
ocrats who believe in the free coinage Of
silver and who do notlike Nh. Cleveland.
4 There Will be little fusion between the
Peoples party and the Democrats this
4 year. The bulk Of the Peoples party
i object to fusion on account OF. tth eir per-
q sonal dislike Of Mr.. Cleveland; and there
/. are a large number OF conservative, bust
ness Democrats who vii lot IN any way
