HON ADLA1 STEVENSON,

Accordingly the Progressive Farmer,
Mt Vernon, ILL.,, whose editor knows
Can Stevenson, the Democratic nomi
nee for the Vice-Presidency, he is not
a man that organized labor will vote
for. More than that, he is one of those
awful reenbackers, like Gen. Weaver.
The Progressive Farmer says:
"Gen. A. E. Stevenson, of Illinois,
was nominated for the Vice-Presldency
at Chicago, and his name will appear
on the Democratic tickt below that of
Grover Cleveland. We know nothing
against Gen. Stevenson, except that he
is charged with being rather tyrannlcal
over those employed under him, n
as a mine operator decidedly opposed
to organized labor. He is a man OF
some prominence in politics, though he
has never been a noisy man, and is
consequently not so well known as
many others of less distinguished pub
lie record. Gen. Stevenson used to be
a greenbacker, or, o properly, a
greenback Democrat, and entertained
and expressed very strong views on
currency reform, including the free
coinage of silver and the substitution
of greenbacks for national bank notes.
But for the inconsistencies of politi-
clans, he might be considered a rather
odd running mate for MI. Cleveland.

THE DIsoRGANIzERs.

For some time we have hoped for
many good things from the Whining
ton Messenger. 1t had been popping
grave and dignifed Congressman and
Senators owe the head at a lively rate
and threatening to have them sessioned
for frlttering away so much time doing
nothing. However, it has began a new
song. The issue of the 18th said:

at Chicago gave out a clear, ringing
note as to the currency. But certain
Senators of both parties Immediately
after the adjournment set to work to
push the Stewart Silver bill and passed
it. the Democrats voting for it. The
bill Is now under consideration. or will
be under consideration in the House.

izers are in the C~ongress-and parClcu'

After charging Congress with idle
ness. after endorsing the State Demo
craft, platform with it's silver plank
for several campaigns, the Messenger
has the brazen effrontery to get mad
because the Senate has gone to work
and passed the Stewart silver bill, and
says the "marplots and disorganizers
are in Congress" Congress should
hide out for the time being These be
awful times.

THE W.

President Butler publishes the two
~platforms-Democratic and Republi-
can-in his paper, the Clinton Cau-
casian, and also the following com
ment:
eve give above the leading planks
in the two platforms side by side. As
we have already predicted, the Force
bill has been made the leading issue by
both conventions. This means that all
economic questions are to be over
Swallowed and largely ignored. The
Republican platform declares in favor
of free trade on articles Except luxur
ies) not made in America, and that the
tariff on other articles shall only be the
difference between wages here and
abroad. The Democratic platform de-
clares for tariff for revenue only.
Which is nearer free trade2 Both are
for reciprocity or free trade in spots.
Both declare in favor of bi metallism,
but both are opposed to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
"The Richmond Dispatch says:
Section s of the Democratic platform
recommends that the Federal tax on
State bank notes be repealed. Mr..
Cleveland will hardly stand upon that
plank Of our national platform The
Republicans are of course opposed to
this plank, and in favor Of the present
national banking system.
Both declare for just and liberal
pensions to Federal soldiers This is
worse than the so-called st. Louis Pen
sion plank.
Both denounce trusts, sc Then
we will have no more trusts, COM
bines, &C. unless the Third party or
Prohibition get in power and foster
them, Both declare for civil service
reform. Andnearly every other plank
in the two platforms is nearly identical.
The Force bill is the only thing on
which the two platforms squarely lock
horns. This is an effort to name the
bloody shirt and fight the campaign on
sectional lines But the people will not
allow it. They will not listen to the
speaker or the newspaper that rails es
this cry."

LOOK OUT,

We r told by the machine men Of
the Demo Republicratic stripe that u
silver dollar is only worth 70 cents.
Many of our people remember about
twenty years back there was issued
from the United States minis a beauti-
full white coin about the size of our
present beautiful "In God we Trust"
silver dollar. The beautiful coin re-
ferred to wa sthe celebrated and long
to be-remembered trade dollar" No
sooner had this trade dollar found it's
way into the pockets Of the laborers
and producers in payment for their
labor products, dollar for dollar, than
it was called in and the banks would
receive them on deposit at 80 cents.
When they were all in the vaults of
the banks at so cents each, then by
special act of Congress the banks
turned them into the treasury of the
United States at par, dollar for dollar,
and the people were robbed of 20 dol
lars out of every 100. That steal
worked so well then that it may be
we'll for the people to watch out for
another. Whenever one of plutocracy's
henchmen tells you that a silver dollar
is not worth but 10 cents, remind him
that your eyes are open now and that
you r not the "blind purp" YOU
were 20 years ago.
