me who was doubling the credit of
the government four years after the
close Of the war, I would like to
hear from him. One man told me
that the Democrats were doubling
the credit of the government. Now
my dear sir, if you owed someone q
note, and if he doubted your ability
to pay the note, would it be bust
ness like to add from 40 to 60 per
cent. to the debt? Would that
strengthen his confidence in your
ability to pay tile obligation? The
credit-strengthening act added near
ly seven hundred million dollars to
the debt that the. people have to
pay. Perhaps "a little explanation
would be in order. The credit
strengthening act was an act to pay
the fve-twenty bonds in coin, in
stead of lawful money, and when
they got the law passedto pay them
in coin, they demQnetized silver;
that made them payable in gold. Is
it any wonder that there are 30
many calamity howlers" when
there is so little gold in the worldE

of 1872, there were only three billion

These men corroberated my own
impression that great forces are
moving. There seems approaching
great periodic popular upheaval
similar to that Of '6l Everywhere
as | went through the aisles OF the

young Democrats were almost IN
open rebellion against the domlneer-
ing policy of the old Legislators.
The Republicans were apprehensive,
almost desperate. Place-hoIders
were beginning to tremble; but in
the midst of it the men who were
advocating right and justice instead
of policy sat eager, ready for the
struggle. They have everything to
win and nothing to lose in the vital
discussion and reorganization which
in their judgment is sure TO come.

Ed. AGIrAroR: We hear a great
many people speak of the greenback
money as depressed money!. We
affirm that it is not, nor never was,
deprecated money. First, it paid
the soldier in the field one hundred
cents on the dollar. 1t paid taxes
one hundred cents on the dollar. If
/ owed debt, it was taken at one
hundred cents on the dollar. The
gold-bug would sell his gold at a
premium, and then buy government
bonds with the greenbacks at one
hundred cents on the dollar. We
claim that it was gold that Yves up
in the market, the same as wheat.
When it brought two dollars and
fifty cents per bushel, it was no sign
that the money was deprecated,
but wheat had gone up in the mar
ket. Just SO with gold. John
Sherman said that the greenback
was deprecated for a wise pur-
pose"; but l have failed to ever see
any explanation of what that wise
purpose" was, so ! presume it was
for the same purpose the specie re-
sumption act, the national banking
act, the credit-strengthening act,
the demonstration of silver, and
many other acts that have been
passed in the interest of the gold
sharks. Now if any one can tell

WASHINGTON, ID. c., 3-ll-'92.

WASHINGTON, II. C.f OIL o.
EDITOR AGIrAroE Several late
numbers Of your paper have con-
tanned allusiOn. to the harmful
influence which Wall street exer-
cises upon the welfare Of the coun-
try. especially upon it's financial
condition. Your criticisms have
been proper and just; but allow me
to state further that the inhabitants
of long stretch Of territory, ex-
tending, it may be said, from Port
land, Me-, to Jacksonville, Fla,
along the Atlantic coast, largely
sympathize, financially, with Wall
street. 1t is mainly this state OF
affairs which 10 the cause, in this
section, of opposition to free silver
and to tariff reform. 1t is substan-
TALLY a united cast against the west,
and the differences existing between
these two parts of the country, on
these subjects, with the natural
utilization of the Atlantic coast
states, are, in some degree, as |
view it, the reason of the unwilling,
ness of the Alliance men generally,
in the south, to join the Peoples
party.
Then again, Washington, which
is totally unfit to be the national
capital, is in full accord with Wall
street, and consequently in the cap
ital of the nation, where western
people naturally expect justice,
they do not get even a semblance OF
it. They are likely not to fare
much better during the present
congress.
Now what is the best way for the
west to emancipate itself from this
bondage? Votes are of course nee
essary, and also representative re.
form men in congress to plead the
cause of the people. Even with the
present flattering prospects Of the
Peoples party, it will take several
years to bring about this relief.
! An additional way is suggested
which would be very effective, and
and which. in my Judgment. de-
serves consideration. 1t is for the
voters of the Peoples party to adj
vocate and insist that the national

capital shall be removed to the west.
Such a policy ON the part OF the
Alliance and Peoples party would,
at least have y tendency to, modify
at once the oppressive instincts Of
Wall street The national capital
will have to go west sometime. 1t
is absolute folly to think of keeping
it in Washington many years long
err. 1t is sheer nonsense to suppose
that, in any sense, this eity is fit
place for the seat Of national gov
eminent. The agitation for it's
removal, should commence now, and
the Peoples party will benefit by it.
That stalwart reformer, G. G. Post,
of Georgia, said, not long ago, that
a party loses nothing by agitation.
1t is; the failure TO agitate which
weakens any organization. You
said recently ION to ashington
via. the ballot-box Let me add
and via. petitions for the removal Of
the national capital to the Missis-
sippi valley. KANSAS.
-four correspondent is, evidently,
unacquainted with the sentiment in
the South. The people there not
slow or unwilling to join the Peo-
ple's party, but they are joining in
great numbers. They are as wide
awake, now, as we, Of the North.
Asst to the removal of the capital
further west, our correspondent is
correct; but we cannot accomplish
it yet while, and doubt the wisdom
of placing such an issue upon any
political party. The removal of the
capital would mean the erection of
many expensive buildings, and num-
erous other expenses and the party
taking up the matter would be called
extravagant. We should be con-
tent to wait until financial affairs
are better in this country; it will
then be time enough to talk about re-
moving the capital.-ED.

Changes have been SO rapid, events
have crowded before me 80 rapidly,

tion--a dream. The fountains OF

Senator Kyle is as lucid, open
and wholesome as Senator PETER
seemed to me interpretive, inscrut-
able, and, in way, morbid. In
fact, PETER seemed to dwell in diff
ferent atmosphere from all the rest
of the Alliance party. Senator
James A. Kyle is the youngest man
in the senate, and represents the
north part of South Dakota. His
home ia at Aberdeen. He was born
in Ohio in '54, and he is less than
thirty-eight years OF age.
He studied for the law, entered
the ranks of the teachers, and
taught in Illinois and also iii Utah.
He has studied civil engineering,
and was o Congregational clergy
man for several years at Ipswich
and Aberdeen, South Dakota. He
was elected to the state senate from
Brown county in 1890. Like
Simpson, he got his nomination as
the direct result of Fourth Of
July Grafton which he was invited
to make by bankers and merchants
of Aberdeen. He took for his sub
.ject "The Perils and Safeguards of
the Republic; and while the bank
ers were not pleased, the farmers
were, and they pressed him to allow
his name to head the Independent
ticket. His election to the position
of United States senator followed
rapidly.
His personality is very winning,
frank, manly and unaffected. He
has the finest physique in the con-
gross. 1t is simply magnificent.
He stands six feet and four inches
high, and is grandly proportioned.
The grasp of his hand is an exper-
ience. He is of the teutonic type,
fair. with gray-blue eyes. His
voice is powerful, but exceedingly
attractive, and his accent is of the
Mississippi Valley, though it would
not be noticeable except by contrast
with his colleagues. He talks read
lily and with perfect clearness and
with excellent native sense. He is
level headed in the midst of his
success, and, like Simpson, main
tains a smiling inHexibility of pur-
pose.
He looks forward to great polite
al changes. He sees that the time
has come when the younger ele-
ment, together with the more pro-
yressive elements of both houses,
