THE LINES ARE DRAWN.

II Is the South, West and Northwest
Against the Plutocratic East.
A careful analysis Of the vote upon
the silver bill, and of the absent MEM
bers, shows some very interesting fig
ures. The full number of the house is
1872. Mr.. Kendall, Of Kentucky, having
died leaves 331. OF these, five of the
absentees- Campbell IN. W, Cheatham
IN. C.), Compton (Md.), Donivan (O.)
and Springer GIL -have not fixed their
position. This leaves 800 members who
now stand as below, and absentees ac-
counted for:
For the bill-Democrats, 145; repub-
icans, II; peoples party, 9; total, 1865.
Against the bill-Democrats, 81; re-
publicans, ~; total, 161.
It would be striking coincidence if
Mr.. Springer's vote should be the one
to decide the issue as it was in the
choice of speaker.
The vote in the house is cast individ-
ually, and as already said was tie. If
each state should be governed by ma
jority of the votes Of it's members, and
this taken as indicating the choice of
the electoral college, it would show a
vote of 1928 in favor of free coinage to
216 against it. After pairs and absentees
are accounted for fair analysis of the
vote by states and parties, to table the
silver bill, is given below:

The Silver Bill.

BANDS silver bill was discussed and
voted on in the house of representatives
last week. Wall street developed a
strength that greatly surprised the
friends of free silver On several test
votes it was tie, and finally the bill
was placed on the calendar. The scenes
of turbulence and of bad temper and of
ugly behavior showed tina Wall street is
determined to bulldoze the whole coun-
try and keep it's iron clutch on the in
dustries of the nation. Again we
ask how long will the people of
the great agricultural states con-
TUNE to cling to the coat tail of Wall
street? How long will southern and
western democrats and republicans sub
NIT to the arrogant domination of the
money power of the New England
states? The democratic party in it's
national platforms, in its speeches, in it's
organs, for years has boldly advocated
this old Jeffersonian doctrine. If that
party has any manhood, and virtue and
honor left, it will not longer submit to
this dictation. Nothing can be hoped
for from the republican party, since it
has been the open friend of plutocracy
for quarter OF century. There is but
one thing for the people of the west,
the south and the northwest to do, and
that is to join together and restore this
government to the principles on which
it was founded. Will they do it, or will
they still consent to lick the hand that
smites them?-Raleigh IN. CO. Progress

TEXAS IN LINE.

The Masses of the Democratic Voters Have
Joined the Peoples Party.
Two months ago the bosses in Tex
IS resurrected their partisan whips,
oiled them with Wall street grease,
(noney), painted them with sectional
hate, besmeared the stock with bloody
shirt slime, and began an unprecedented
campaign of whipping" their old time
followers into line. To their astonish-
ment the toilers, instead of meekly
obeying their mandates, are stampeding
right and left, and Independent political
action, as marked out by the St. Louis
Louis and Dallas conferences, offers the
only relief.
Away to the northeast is seen dark
and ominous cloud that will soon en-
velop Texas in the turmoil of great
political battle. The rumbling of Wall
street thunder is heard in the distance.
Already the black flags of plutocracy
with the legend 81 destroy all I con.
troll" emblazoned upon it, appears upon
the horizon. Under this flag are seen
ten thousand party bosses, grown fat
on earnings of others, holding the long,
hCCA pal W 1doA LII oIlclT AduUS, Dc-
grimed with sectional hate, eager to
scourge their old constituents into line
preparatory to seating Grover Cleveland
on the throne of destroyed liberty.
In another direction is seen mighty
throng OF impoverished men rapidly
falling into line under the stars and
stripes, upon which is written ''fresides,
home, liberty, justice and country"
Behind this grand throng are thousands
upon thousands of pauperized, over
worked women, with uplifted hand i'm
ploring heaven to aid their brothers,
sons, fathers and husbands, to shield
them and their little ones from the
spoliation of the great anti-Christ, Wall
street. Such is the situation in Texas
to-day.-Southern Mercury.

population and the increase In the vol
ume of business. A man would be as
big q fool to build business block in a
location that commanded no business
patronage or trade under tho single tax
system as under the present system,
while the great majority Of residence
tenants would be unable to build q
house were land free for the taking.
Mr.. Wakefield says: Call production
is produced by labor applied to land,
and is divided between landlord, mon
opolies and labor" This statement is
misleading. ALI crude forms Of wealth
raw materially is perhaps produced by
labor applied to land" This, however,
is the least valuable form of wealth.
The greatest portion of value possessed
by wealth is given to it by skilled labor
applied to the raw material, and as
factories are, as a rule, located on the
least valuable land, rent cuts but a
very small figure in the items that unite
In giving to wealth it's most valuable
forms.
Political economists tell us that labor
is robbed by rent, profit and interest.
The single tax diverts rent to the peo-
pie, instead of to individuals, and while
productive and distribntive labor would
be relieved of all other forms of taxa
ton, it would then, as now, pay all of
the single tax, those who occupied 'sval-
liable lands simply paying their pro-
portion as consumers. Labor would
still continue to be robbed by profit and
interest, as well as paying all trxes.
I am with Mr.. Wakefield when he
says: eve would emancipate labor by
taxing monopolies, whether of valua BILE
land or corporate franchise, out of ex-
istence." But the single tax would
simply license the monopoly of valuable
lands, the license being shifted onto the
consumer. Leaving out of the question
franchises public utilities and corpor-
ate monopolies) the wishes of Mr.. Wake
field can more speedily be consummated
by graduated cumulative tax upon I'M
used and unoccupied land, graded tax
upon net incomes of 81 1000 or more and
a graded tax upon all estates, Inherit
ances and requests. No other tax
should be levied and trade between ma
tions should be absolutely free.-George
G. Ward, in Topeka Advocate

Price and Value.

The present coin price of troy ounce
Of pure gold is s2o.617s. This is it's price
fixed by law and is invariable. But
will any man insist that this is it's in
trinsic value, or that it becomes anv
more 'shonest' because its price is
fixed quantity. Itsvalue depends upon
the caprice of law. The present coin
price of a 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. Noncon-
formist.

Not voting-1 in each case.

"NOL VOLlnR-l In oaCn case
A careful study of these figures will
give remarkable clear indication Of
the location and strength of the reform
sentiment of the country. If the pluto
Gratis in a straight campaign should adj
vocate protection and the single gold
standard they would probably carry
California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont
and Wisconsin, votes. The oppo-
sition would have majority in Ala
bama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennes-
see, Texas, Washington, Virginia,
West Virginia, and Wyoming
votes. The doubtful states would be
California, Illinois, Ohio and Wiscou-
sin.
The domination of the money power
is coming to crisis. Between plu-
tocracy and the people the strain upon
the old parties is terrific. They are
losing all former elements of cohesion.
This contest on free silver has torn holes
through their old hulks that cannot be
patched or mended. The democratic
party, as was easy to forecast, is wholly
unequal to the stress of the weather.
but the people who as an expedient sent
to congress this overwhelming majority
are still on hand. They are casting
aside all prejudices They know what
they want, and they will have it. When
plutocracy can be sectionalized in the
east, it must perish, Lay on now. De-
feat the will of the people and take

The intense and unalloyed salts
faction with which the republican pa
pers chronicle the progress Of the peo-
pies party in the south is refreshing.
But so intent is their gaze on the dis
solving views Of the southern panorama
that they fail to note the disordered
condition Of the tail end of their own
procession. The alliance intends to be
impartial and for every voter dropped
from Cleveland in the south, feather
will be clipped from Harrison.-N Non

PEOPLES PARTY CLUBS.
One Should BE Formed In Every TOWNSHIP
In the United States.

One Should BE Formed In Every Township
In the United States.
The third party movement has had
many severe criticisms because some
seem to think it has grown to it's pres
ent strength from secret meetings.
This is unjust, for the Farmers Alliance
and peoples party are not the same
thing.
But the rankest critics have been
those who were leagued together in po-
litical cliques, whose plans were DELHI
Grated upon secretly and made known
quietly, whose purposes have been to
secure the spoils of Office, regardless of
any adequate return of services, whose
legislation has been in the interest of
corporations, and for the purpose of
creating Offices and maintaining numer-
GUS deputies.
1t would have been excusable had
secrecy been resorted to to combat
secrecy; for the end would justify the
means. But in free government pub
lie affairs must be open to public inspec-
ton. Nothing must be kept in the
background, and in furtherance of this
the peoples party is stepping out onto
broad plane.
The state central committee has
urged the formation Of peoples party
clubs for the discussion of the problems
of the day. This is in spirit of true
American patriotism. We were never
ssroG1ed in the cradle" of secret liberty;
but in liberty Of mind; in out-spoken
ideas from liberal minded men.
Let the waning glory of the repub-
lican party seek favor in the secret con-
claves Of the Knights of Reciprocity or
any other organizations it may yet pro-
mulgate, but the people must know the
truth, and act upon the truth and not
upon an oath or pledge.-Kansas City

ports of the department of agriculture.
BY taking the value per acre as basis,
fairness is assumed to which all will
doubtless consent. In 1880 the mort
gage Indebtedness of Iowa could have
been paid with the proceeds of 9,121, 675
acres OF corn, 7,947, 1877 acres of wheat,
Or 10, 723, 1865 acres of oats. In 1889 it
would have required 1904, 1854 acres of
corn, II, 0S2, 1874 acres of wheat or Is, S97,-
$50 acres of oats.
From these figures it is plain that it
required the product of either 1922, $50
acres of corn, 3, 1874, 967 acres of wheat,
or 5, 173, $3.50 acres of oats more to pay the
500, SIT, 478 of Indebtedness in 1889 than
it did in 1880. Think of it, 1874, 967
acres of land must be plowed, sown,
reaped, thrashed and the product mar
keted in order to meet the increased
tribute demanded by the appreciation
in value Of gold. It would take the av-
erage wheat crop of 10000 farms to
make up this difference.
The one great crop Of Alabama is cot
ton. The average price of cotton to the
planter in 1880 was II cents per pound,
while in 1889 it was 81 cents. These
prices show that in 1880 the debt of
Alabama could have been paid with
174,672,645 pounds of cotton; but in 1889
it would have taken 229, SIG, 1854 pounds.
or an increase of 54,903, TO pounds, or
122, OOS bales of $50 pounds each.
The above calculations disclose very
clearly that it is New England greed
and avarice instead of sense of Justice
or regard for national honor that
prompts them to such untiring efforts
to keep down the volume of money.
That their motives are purely mercen-
airy and lack single element of justice
or fairness to the balance of the people.
They own the debts and are determined
to wiring as much as possible from 9TH
er sections of the country for its use and
ultimate liquidation. The less money
in circulation, all things else being the
same, the lower will be the price Of Ia
Dor and it's products, and the greater
will be the power of money to Cypress. :"
