ABOUT FINANCE.
A Very "Wise" Man shows Ills Ignoranc

A Very "Wise" Man shows Ills Ignorance
of the ''SIiddle Classes"
The review edition of the Chicago
Tribune, in commenting on money,
silver and finance, says: "It Is un-
fortunate that this information is not
likely to reach those who need 1t most.
Unsound views in relation to the cur
rency are notably rife among the mid
die classes, especially the agricultural
communities. But the arguments here
presented are beyond the comprehen-
sion of these classes"
Oh, but ye are gods, and wisdom will
die with you. You have this financial
question to perfection. You have
reached the point where panics recur as
regular as the equinox and the trade of
the country plays see-saw on the bridge
of Shylock's nose. Yes, your trained in
telligence' in this country understands
finance. It's Alpha is bonds and
mortgages and it's Omega is per
cent. and taxes. 1t is an inverted pyra-
mid with idiocy and theft and despot-
ism on top and long suffering labor at
the bottom. To test the question of
competency we beg the Tribune to trot
out its specimens of upper class" men
who will try their power of comprehen-
sion upon the platform along side Of
representative of these lower classes.
For years this arrogance, this naughty
superiority, this studied insult has been
the reliance of plutocracy, but it will
soon be punctuated with full STOP 1t

A Kansas Paradox.

Rarely does Kansas fail 10 lend an
element of picturesqueness to political
campaign. This year the Kansas demo-
Gratis inscribe on their banner motto
which, for originality, beats the world
1t is Cleveland and Free Silver" Other
state conventions want one or the other
But the Kansas democrats want both.
The Kansas platform declares unreserv-
edly for the free coinage of both gold
and silver, and the instructions to dele
gates are equally emphatic in ordering
united vote for Grover Cleveland so
long as the latter's name may be before
the national convention. If the thought
occurred to the convention that Mr.
Cleveland is the mortal enemy of free
silver coinage, there is nothing, in either
platform or instructions, to show it. 1t
is just possible that the peculiar combi-
nation of Cleveland and free silver is
madness with amethod.-Chicago News.

Price and Value.

The present coin price of troy ounce
of pure gold is s2O.617s. This is its price
hxed by law and is invariable But
will any man insist that this is its in
trinsic value, or that it becomes any
more ''honest" because its price is a
fixed quantity. Itsvalue depends upon
the caprice of law. The present coin
price of troy ounce of pure silver is
$1,000. This is its price fixed by law,
and is invariable. But because this
price is not backed up by free and un-
limited coinage of all silver offered the
intrinsic value of silver varies with the
law of supply and demand, and the price
of silver bullion is less than the price of
silver coin. When this government
ceases to bny bullion and coins all that
is offered, without discrimination. then
the coin price and the bullion value will
be convertible. and bimetalism will be
on the basis of the fathers. rs.-Noncon-

CAMPAIGNING By OSCILLATION.

Old Missouri Claims to Have Been the
Scene of the Finest Work in This Line.
Alabama no more invented the guber-
Material kissing contest, as has been
claimed, than did Baby Mckee invent
mud pies It is impossible to say when
and by whom these contests were In
augurated, but they were popular In
Missouri nearly twenty years ago. In
1874, when old Farmer Gentry was the
candidate on the Tadpole ticket against
Z. Ii. Hardin, the regular democratic
nominee, he made a practice of kissing
the pretty women in his bluff, hearty,
old-fashioned way. Gov. Hardin was
reserved and cold man, and it is alto
gether likely that he would have suf-
fered defeat had 1t not been for the
"yaller-dog" teuacity of the old guard,
and for the fact that Farmer Gentry
was too discriminating with his kisses.
In honoring only young and pretty
women he made the others angry, and
their wrath was 50 efficacious that In
spite of the eloquence of Carl Schurz,
the old gentleman was showed under q
most depressing majority.
In 1875 the campaign in Missouri
turned on incidents of steam boat travel
and other narrowing recitals. and was
altogether too unpleasant and too
grossly personal to recall But in 1880
two of the most fascinating men In
the state were pitted against each
other, T. T. Crittenden and ID. p.
Dyer. Mr.. Crittenden started the
campaign aggressively by kissing
the ladies flially, fraternally or pa
ternally, as the case might be. Mr..
Dyer followed suit, and the contest OF
grace and abandon was clearly tie.
Then Mr.. Crittenden stole march on
his unsuspecting opponent; he began
on the babies. No baby of any quail
fed voters In the state escaped the
pressure of Mr.. Crittenden's lips, or
delicate tribute to its fine features and
symmetrical body. The effect Of this
movement was tremendous Mr.. Dyer
was campaigning in the back districts,
and did not hear of his adversary's
brilliant strategem for nearly two
weeks. He hastily adopted the same
line of attack but 1t was too late, for
the idea was as good as patented. Mr.
Crittenden went right along kissing
babies up to within an hour Of the
closing of the polls, and when he de-
sisted he was elected to the governor.

Sound Advice.

Do our farmers and others realize
that In subscribing for papers who op-
pose their demands for relief that they
are strengthening the hands that are
seeking to strangle them and their
wives and children? Well they are.
Those papers live and grow fat on the
patronage which Sthey get from the
business world In the way of paid ad-
vertisements, and business men adver-
tise With those papers that have cir
culation among the farmers. If farm
ers refused to take papers that opposed
their just demands the business men
would cease advertising in them and
would give their advertisements to the
papers that advocate the reforms de-
manded by the people. Advertising In
them, they would come to read them,
and so learn how just are the demands
of the farmers and laborers and so Join
with them in their political reform,
and all would go smoothly and well.
The people owe it to themselves to re-
fuse at once, and for all, to support, In
any way and to any extent, those pa
psrs that refuse to sustain their de-
mands for justice to all.--ExchanRe.

NO FUSION.
The National Executive COMMITTEES Unal-

The National Executive COMMITTEES Unal.
terably Opposed to Fusion.
Within the last thirty days have re-
ceived so many letters inquiring about
fusion with one of the old parties that
am compelled to make this statement
to the public. These inquiries have all
grown out of the reports that the old
party press have been sending over the
country. They are all pure fabrications
without single word of truth in them.
Mr.. Fish, of Minnesota, writes: That
fusion matter is the rankest kind of q
fraud, lie of the deepest dye" The
same report comes from Kansas, Ne
braska and the Dakotas-
The following is resolution offered
by Mr.. Washburne, at a session of the
executive committee at st. Louis, June
1891, which was unanimously adopted,
and will show how the committee
stands on this question, and what fu-
sion advocates may expect from US:
Resolved, That the national executive COM
mittee fs unalterably opposed to fusion with
any other political party, and will not recognize
any individual. committee or organization that
proposes or enters into such fusion, as af1listed
with the peoples party.
Fusion means confusion, and will
lead to nothing else. We want all the
votes we can get. We want every
democrat and republican to come with
US, and we would like to have every
Office within the gift of the people, but
we can't afford to secure either votes or
Office by bartering away our principles.
The very moment we use them as trad
ing stock and peddle them around to
the highest bidder, to secure an flee,
we will sink into oblivion, and we
ought to.
There Is but one thing for us to do
''keep in the middle of the road" hoist
the black flag and neither give nor ac-
cept any quarter. Anyone who expects
any Of the old parties to give us any
financial reforms by fusion, in my opin-
ion is a mental deformity.-H. E. Tau
beneck, Secretary National Executive
Committee.

How Large Fortunes are Made.

The argument that even the poorest
man might become wealthy by saving
from his scanty income may hold good
If to be wealthy means to possess, say
$4,000 or $4,000 But large fortunes
cannot be and never have been accumu-
lated from the savings of any one mans
labor, who did not employ other men or
acquire land or other property bearing
interest or returning rent. Large for
tunes have invariably been created by
men other than he who came into their
possession. 1t is this fundamental
wrong which the labor movement is
striving to correct.-Beatrice fNeb.)
