GOOD REASONS
Why the Peoples Party Should
Elect the Next President.

Should the Republicans elect the
President, the utmost they could ac-
in the way of legislation
would be the redemption OF their
platform promises. The people
would still be left groaning under
~ the Mckinley tariff, ~ the ma
tioual banking system, (3) the con-
traction of currency, az corporation
rule and (5) the exemption OF mil
lionaires from taxation on their in
comes. Let the Republicans win at
the next election and it may be fair
lv said that government by the peo-
nle is dead, and that class rule Is
perpetuated.
Suppose every plank of the DEM
ocratic platform enacted into law,
what relief would come to the mas
ses of the people? The national
hanks would remain; tariff burdens,
if molested at all, would be only
scaled slightly; corporations wouio
retain their special privileges; eur.
rency would remain contracted, ano
only be filtered out to the people
through the banks. We deal gen
erously with either party in admit
!. ting their honest intention to redeem
nlafform pledges. The Democra,l

Mr.. Editor Since you have given

written by one "Sickle", who has
taken II upon himself To strike nj a
Political party through the Presby-

YOU will not refuse TO publish "A re-

Sickle takes up street rumor 10y

1t into a political journal, TO be her

purpose: one party advantage, the
other to rent his pieen against the
Church or some of it, members. IL
Sickle meant that christian friend
ship, which he expresses aud that
good advice which he gives In the
name of God, why did he not come

report. So far as know IL may be
that one or two Of our members have
said more than IL was prudent 10

graceful and tyranicsi political con-

troler:
TREASURY DEPARTMl.NT,
lsT COMPTRoLER's Office,
Washington, Aug. 20, '92.
SIR:-In reply to your communi-
cation of the 18th instant, L have the
honor to say that at the time the d.
rect tax was refunded to the State
of Virginia the question of whether
or not the refund should include the
interest and penalties was under al
visenent. 1t was thought that, In
asmuch as it was very difficult. and
in many cases almost impossible to
determine the amount Of the inter
est and penalties, 1t would be wise
to pay the direct tax without delay
This was done with the understand.
ing that the payment of the interest
and penalties would follow as soon
as the legal question could be deter
mined, if determined in favor OF the
States, and the amount could be as
certained. 1t Is now held that In
addition to the tax already paid TN
interest and penalties shall also b'
paid, and the amount is now being
ascertained to that end.
Very Respectfully,
A. G. MATTHEW'S,
