The purpose is taken to be to blockade the

Is dangerous, and should meet the never
ending opposition Of all Americans. Z
should remain in the hands of the nation
for the common good. We may be bank
ers in our day and reap the profits Of sys-
tenn partial to US, but our descendants will
probably not be bankers, and they will suf-
fer from an unjust system. AS bankers let
us unhinchingly oppose everything but the
best money and the best system that the
intelligence Of Che nineteenth century can
give.
Here Is testimony of a character
that should command the respect of
those who base their opinions upon
those Of eminent fnanciers, and this
testimony sustains the three funda-
mental propositions of the Peoples
party upon the question of tina-ce.
l. That money has no intrinsic
value and is purely a creation of law.
2. That the volume of money in
circulation Is totally inadequate for
the demands of our commerce.
8. That the delegation Of the power
to coin money to individuals or cor
porations is dangerous, and should
not be tolerated by the American
people-thst congress alone is su-
thorized by the constitution to exer-
else that authority. When next our
republican editors and politicians cry
out against the financial plank of the
Omaha platform, let them direct their
amGthemas at the American Bankers
association.

MARKETING WHEAT.

The morning papers of October 27
contain a Chicago dispatch relative
to the unusual sale of wheat by farm
ers this year SO early in the season.
The dispatch says:
Il is difficult to understand why farmers
should be in such haste to market their
wheat with prices almost the lowest on
record.
There is no doubt that it is difficult
for those whose partisan blindness
prevents them from seeing the con-
ditions that surround them, to under
stand why farmers should be in such
haste to market their products. To
any person who has made any effort
to study the conditions, not only of
farmers, but of all other classes of
people except money lenders and
those who have fixed incomes, the
problem is not at all difficult.
1t matters not to the farmer what
prices may be, whether high or low,
when he has anything to sell he is
forced to sell it to pay taxes and in
terest, and to supply the family with
the absolute necessities of life. The
wife and children have to be clothed
and prepared for winter, and if the
taxes and interest are not paid, the
home must be given up. These are
the reasons why, as the dispatch says,
the farmers of America have, "before
four months are ended, sold fully half
of their surplus wheat, and they have
sold it at almost the lowest prices on
record"
There is no mystery about this
matter except to those who through
party bigotry and superstition are
prevented from making any investi-
cation of economic conditions.

SOME TESTIMONY OF AMERICAN
BANKERS.

tead OF banking corporations, snail
issue this currency to the people,
have been met by the two-for-a cent
editors Of the republican press with
derision. We have been assured
that there is an abundance of money
in circulation, and that the national
bank currency is the best the world
has ever seen. The authority (?) OF
Secretary Foster has been cited to
show that we have more money than
ever before, and the calamity
howler'' has been informed that he is
an ignorsmus and knows nothing
about the question Of finance any
how. He should stick to his plow,
work harder, and practice greater
economy, leaving the great questions
Of finance to John Sherman and other
great men who have made such sub
jects study.
In connection with these issues, it
affords us great pleasure to quote
from few distinguished fnanclers
who cannot be said to be entirely ig-
norant upon these subjects. The
American Bankers association has
recently held it's annual session at
San Francisco, California. 1t Is
certainly far to presume that those
who are sent as delegates to the an
nual meetings of this association are
successful bankers, good fnanciers
and fair representatives of their class.
Their evidence in this case should
certainly have weight with those who
base their opinions upon the testi-
mony of eminent bankers and fnan-
ciers rather than upon personal IN
vestigation and reflection. MIR. Frank
T.. Miller, cashier of the national
bank of D. 0. Mills & Co., of Sacra-
mento, said:
This nation and others need the issue of
governmental paper money to accomplish
the carrying of silver. y
National bank circulation should be re-
tired to make room for silver notes, but the
system of national banks should be re-
tanned. The men who made this state OF
California came from all parts Of the union.
They had had much experience with the
state issues prior to 1860, and knew that nc
state could make It's citizens note a legal
tender. They believed in squarely coming
up TO, and supporting, that clause OF the
United States constitution which says thai
no state shall emit bills Of ofcredit. As a re-
suit Of their combined experience, car
speak with authority and say that the peo
ple of California will attack and discredit
all state bank issues. Let all the states oi
the union listen and copy these loyal and

PINE BLUFF, Ark, May 25.-Most ap-
palling accounts Of destruction and suf-
fering continue to come from overfowed
districts. The citizens here and espec-
tally the business men are themselves
heavy losers, but they have come for
ward and subscribed literally to help
those in worse condition. The federal
steamer Wichita, ksent out from here
Sunday with provisions to people below
Pine Bluff, has telegraphed here that
400 people were provided with food at
Auburn and Maple Grove. The villages
of Bankhead. Greenback, Tarassa and
Heckator are entirely submerged by the
breaking of levees There is great suf-
fering in consequence all along the river.
Hundreds of families have entirely
abandoned their homes and do not think
of>tYer returning. The back water of
the eeMissouri river is helping largely to
continue the present flooded condition
below here although the fall of the Ar
kansas at points above is reported rapid.
1t has fallen only six inches here since
the reaction set in. Another boat has
left here loaded with few days rations
for 5000 people. It is estimated that in
this county 5000 acres Of cotton is
ruined. Replanting will begin as soon
as the floods subside, but it is doubtful
if it will be successful.

county is scene Of desolation. Three
fourths of the county is now under
water, and assistance is urgently needed
at several points in the county between
Reel Foot lake and Paragould, on the
Arkansas side. Three families have been
drowned. Their names are:
WASH HALL, wife and three children.
JOSEPH MALLORY, wife and two children.
SAMUEL MOORE, colored, wife and daugh-
ter.
It is estimated that 300 horses and
mules and 1000 head of cattle have
been drowned, and that 100000 acres of
cultivated farms are under water be-
tween Memphis and Cairo. According
to Captain Howard, of the Anchor line,
there are 225 acres of wheat, 300 acres
of corn and nearly 200, 200 acres of COT
ton inundated. The waters continue to
rise, and in few days more it is ex-
pected 100000 acres of cultivated
ground will be flooded. The Arkansas
bottoms are all under water and the
number of lives lost and property de-
stroyed cannot be estimated, because no
bosts have gone into the flooded district.

into service to carry people to and from
their places of business. A number of
small disturbances occurred in various

Drivers association, was arrested with
other officers for melting to breach of
the peace. The city government is
clearly in sympathy with the strikers.
The mayor has issued a proclamation
calling upon citizens to assemble at
street car stations and along the various
lines at noon to see that non union drivers
are protected from assault. This may
have the desired effect, but numbers of

DANCING AND POLITICS.
Both Are Discussed at the Methodist
Conference.

Both Are Discussed at the Methodist
Conference.
OMAHA, May 25.-Bishop Hinde pre-
sided ever the day'ssession of the general
Methodist conference. The report of the
committee on the state of the church
toward dancing and other worldly
amusements, was filed with the secre-
tary. The. committee does not agree.
The majority recommends that it be-
lieves that there is no sufficient reason
for making the proposed change. The
minority of eleven desire to eliminate the
present penalty which provides expulsion
for those who disobey the present dis
cipline relating to dancing, theater-
going, horse racing, ETC., and allow
church members to decide for themselves
whether they desire to so amuse them
selves, there being no penalty to hang
over their heads. The report of the COM
mittee on Epworth league, which was
laid aside Saturday, was taken up again.
A motion to consolidate the general Sec
retaryship and the editorship of The
Herald was defeated.
At the afternoon session. in order to
facilitate business, each committee on
call was allowed to present one report
and then pass to the next committee.
The committee on Sunday schools and
tracts recommended that temperance be
taught in the schools. Adopted. The
committee on temperance and prohibi-
ton submitted its report, which calls
upon the people to use their power of
ballot to defeat any party which Grim
inally allies itself with the liquor inter-
crest by licensing the manufacture of
spirits. The report was heartily ap-
plauded, but Judge Lawrence,
OF Ohio, quickly offered a sub
stitute to the effect that the
position Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church is amply set forth in the
address of the bishops which demands
complete prohibition and enjoins tenn
perance as the only salvation in politics.
Judge Lawrence delivered stirring ad-
dress, holding that the report endorsed
the Prohibition party and condems the
Republican party when it charges Grim
inal collusion by licensing the manufac-
ture of spirits. He demanded that the
church put itself on record in favor of
no party. DR.. Leonard moved to lay
the report on the table but it was lost
by a vote of 202 to 221 Amid great ap-
plause the Prohibitionists were defeated
on the preliminary vote.
The vote on the acceptance of the sub
stitute was then taken. resulting in its
defeat by 200 to 246. The report was
then adopted amid the widest enthusi-
asm. DR.. Little then moved that it
be the sense Of the conference that the
report just adopted does not endorse any
political party. The Prohibitionists
tried to choke this off by motion to
table, but were voted down. On the
vote being taken the motion was adopted
amid similar tumultous scene on the
part of the Republicans.
A resolution denouncing the Chinese
exclusion act was unanimously adopted.
The secretary was authorized to al
range the conference as respect the dis
tricts. The conference then adjourned.
