vestigatio we find that the recent in
crease in the price of coal to the poor
consumers of New York city will net
monopoly 81. 25O. 900 more. The
price was raised % cents a ton. but
not one penny more is paid for min
ing it.
Progressive Farmer: One of the
very last letters written by our la
mented president contained the fol-
lowing words: There is but one
course left the great common people.

The Alabama Reformer: Vote the
Peoples party ticket and help to stop
this money speculation and you have
accomplished what? You have caused
the millions of dollars now boarded up
in the North to seek investment in
the South. You have changed the
value of money from the per cent it
brings used as loan, to its value in
establishing industries. and in ex-
changing the handiwork and products
of the labor of mankind.

The Cincinnati Herald When the
rich man buys government bonds with
greenbacks worth 80 cents on the
dollar and the government enacts
law making those bonds payable in
coin worth 100 cents on the dollar,
that's justice and equity. But when
a farmer borrows 81. 900 on farm
worth 81. 600. and the government
contracts the money volume until the
farm is worth only 81. 900 and the
mortgage is foreclosed. and the money
lender gets the whole farm. that's
fnancieriug.
The Chicago Times: John Sher-

The Sundance Reformer: The peo-
pie will rule. They are determined
to rule; and nothing could prove this.
better than the frantic howls of the
leaders OF the two old parties The
Gazette as a political organ is doing
the bowling for both the 6. g. p. and
Democrats. They we'll know rat it is
useless to try and mislead the people
longer by lying promises md are
now endeavoring to swing cub over
their heads. Americans don't drive.
and the sooner the old parties fine
this out the better.
The New York Herald: Under the
present administration of affairs the
monopolist is everywhere and the
people are nowhere. The masses are
a..oled and the classes are rampant.
The rich capitalist can have all he
wants i he bleeds freely before cleo
ton; but the poor man must look out
for himself. This is not particular
iy inspiring outlook. but we are Cd.
timistic enough to believe that there
will be a grand shake up by and by.
and this crooked business be made
straight by popular indignation.
The Peoples Advocate: Il don't
blame the Goulds. the Astors the
Vanderbilts and the Stanfords for
grasping their unearned millions AL
most any one else would do it if he
