The Power of Gold.

1t is the gold power that is fighting
the free coinage of silver. Why? For
the same reason that any other mon
arch would fight a rival that was to
be crowned in the same country to di-
vide powers and honors with him.
Gold is now absolute monarch, and
rules with unfeeling tyranny; and the
dominant parties and politicians are
determined that this rule shall not
be disturbed. And. as in the case Of
most tyrants. the people are less in
debted to gold than to any other metal
or commodity. Senator John j. In
gals in a speech made in the United
States Senate, February H. 1873 drew
the following very truthful picture of
gold:
No people in a great emergency
ever found a faithful ally in gold. It
is the most cowardly and treacherous
OF ali metals. 1t makes no treaty it
does not break. 1t has no friend it
does not sooner or later betray.
Armies and navies are not maintained
by gold. In time of panic and
calamity, shipwreck and disaster it
becomes the agent and minister of
ruin. No nation ever fought a great
war by the aid OF gold. On the con-
trary. in the crisis of the greatest
peril. it becomes an enemy more
potent than the foe in the field; but
when the battle is won and peace has
been secured, gold reappears and
claims the fruit of victory. In our
own civil war it is doubtful if the
gold of New York and London did not
work US greater injuries than the
powder and lead and iron of the
rebels. 1t was the most invincible
enemy of the public credit. Gold
paid no soldier or sailor 1t refused
the national Obligations 1t was
worth most when our fortunes were
lowest. Every defeat gave it in
creased value. 1t was in open ALI
ance with our enemies the world over.
and all its energies were yoked for
our destruction. But, as usual. when
danger has been averted and the
victory secured. gold swaggers to the
front and asserts its supremacy.
Is it not little strange that an in
telligent people like the people of the
United States, with their inexhausti-
BILE resources and varied industries,
will cling to the cast-off garments of
monarchy. and permit this metal to
measure their every thing of value and
rule them with a tyrant's sway? That
it SO rules them the gold men them
selves do not deny. Farm and Home

California Talks,

Here is a proposition: Assert that
all the highways of the republic are
the common property of all the people
OF the United States.
Should the commanding general Of
the United States army not be a good
economic road-builder. then choose
one by competitive work and previous
record who is a good road builder and
under him throughout every subordin-
ate position let every superintendent
and foreman. Of every regiment or
company hold his position by reason
Of his competent meritorious service
and never by political favor
Open a recruiting station in at
least every county of every state in
the union. so that every person who
is unemployed may obtain work in
his district, and so that no county
can be sighted in road improve
ments.
The national government having as
sumed ownership of the highways, it
Is the business of the nation to pay
the army Of workers after the same
manner as-it now pays them for the
questionable work of destruction and
bloodshed.
That remuneration at So 80 or So. 90
per day of eight hours work should
not be made in pearls, diamonds, sill
yer, mercury. gold or any other rari-
ty, now cornered by Rothchilds, but
by a kind Of money that was the main
stay Of this nation some thirty years
ago in time Of great distress. when
the brokers of Europe thought Uncle
Sam was a gone: namely in United
States currency. France also resorted
to paper money after being crushed
by. Germany. Prosperity followed in
both instances. Paper money or
'greenbacks. - should cost the people
for printing and paper only. TO have
a circulating medium we do not need
to destroy the fertile hills and valleys
of the Sierra. nor lay waste whole
townships Of fruit land and fill up the
rivers and bays with mud. Nor do
we even need to tax other property to
have good roads for surely the checks
that are undersigned by nation OF
80. 600 900 of people are very good
honest money especially when
paid out to toilers for good service
rendered; and those same time checks
of the United States of America can
be made legal tender for everv COM
fort of modern civilization!
Therefore 1t is unnecessary and alb
surd to borrow any scarce substance
for money to improve the roads
1t is an injustice to the people to
keep willing hearts and hands from a
useful occupation. 1t is also loss to
the nation to have the years roll by
and the country still unimproved =

Let There Re No Mistake.

There should be no misunders tand-
ing about the work of the ST. Louis
conference. The platform Of principles
was the official work of the various or
CARNATIONS there represented.
The action taken in regard to join
ing the Peoples party was taken by
the delegates as individuals.
No organization is bound to join the
Peoples party simply because the del
egates at St. Louis voted to do so.
10 have undertaken officially to
bind these various organizations
would have been contrary to the con-
stitution Of most of the bodies rep
resented. And it would have been as
useless as it would have been unlaw-
full; for there is no law or no act of
any organization. that can compel a
man to get out OF the ranks of the
old parties unless he wants to- There
are mossbacked Democrats and hide
bound Republicans in the X. of l.. :; in

and in other organizations whom
nothing but q cyclone or an earth
quake could possibly affect Many Of
them. in fact are merely old party
spies. sent into these orders to keep
track of things" and to make trouble.
But the fact that the representa-
tives of these various organizations
assembled in St. Louis. with scarcely
a dissenting voice voted to join with
the Peoples Party for independent
political action will have just as
much moral force and effect as if it
had been done officially. Nay. more
so. 1t will have an influence that
will be felt at the polls next 'Novem-
Der.
Those therefore. who continue to
assert that the St. Louis conference did
not officially take action are right; but
when they undertake to make them
selves Or anybody else believe that
the course taken was not just as
effective as if taken officially they
are very much mistaken.-Chicago

The Sub.TreaSury.

1t is not the intention of tile SUBJ
treasury plan as advocated by The ALI
ance that the money issued upon the
non-perishable products of agriculture
should be any peculiar money or in
any way differ from other treasury
notes which are a full legal tender
The reason for destroying the auxili-
airy volume or its equivalent is to pre-
vent relative increase in the volume
of money as it is liberated from the
products of agriculture by their con-
sumption. If the money so liberated
was left in circulation, the same dis.
elimination against agriculture which
now exists would be continued. The
sub-treasury does not propose a new
financial system; it simply proposes a
modification of the present system. so
as to be fair to ALL and stop the dis
ordinations against agriculture which
now result from violent fluctuations
in the relative volume of money. To
increase the volume of money some
other plan will be necessary. OF
course the only money that would be
destroyed under the old bill would be
treasury notes. as national bank notes
and coin certificates are peculiar
money and call for specific redemp-
ton independent of the government

Stick to your pillow and let politics
alone has been the cry OF the court
house politicians and ring lawyer for
twenty-five years. Stick to your pillow
and we will run the political machine.
This has been the advice of the lead
ers for twenty-five years, and the
people followed the advice until two
years ago. Now these same great
unconstitutional lawyers are very
much disturbed over the situation.
and now they are very anxious for
the farmer to desert his pillow and flock
to town to hear these politicians for
revenue only tell him what to do.
1t is simply awful to think that the
people are about to be lead Off to join
some other party. Then the truth of
such thing by men who know how
to do nothing but pillow is simply
alarming. 1t is sufficient to call in
session the grand conclave Of lawyer
politicians who have been running the
politics as we'll as the government of
this country for years. These
cold knockers must be subdued
at any cost. We must faunt the
soldier plank in their face and
tell them a lie, that it will tax them.
We must wave the bloody shirt and
throw the negro at them. This is
the work they intend to do and do it
quickly and powerfully. They have
got the speakers and the money to
back them. All they have to do is to
notify Wall street and she will spend
literally. These lawyers and pol
iticians have nothing else to do and
the Wall street Doodle will come just
in time They can't rant all over the
state to tell these farmers how to vote
their expenses paid by Wall street.
After this kid glove aristocracy h as,
sneered at the farmer for twenty
years will they be fools enough now
to leave their plows and 60 out to hear
them speak.
Farmers there is but one thing to
be done in the premises. and that is
to stick to your plow' when Mr.. At
kinson and his crowd come to your
county. Take the advice given you
for thirty years now. and let these
leaders and manipulators of court
house rings have their say to their
own stripe. Southern Alliance Farm I.

For the Gold Bugs to member.


1t is under an inspiration begotten
by 80 cents per bushel wheat that
these lines are written. declares an
agriculturalist of La Eayette, Kansas,
writing to the Topeka Advocate. Yes,
we are offered 30 cents for our last
year s crop Of wheat. for which hun
dreds of thousands of Americans are
hungering. and millions of foreigners
beyond the waters are starving, yet it
is proposed by Michael d. Harter and
the old party leaders IN general to
destroy one half of this pitiful sum by
overthrowing the silver dollar. I
want to say to these gentlemen right
here: You go little slow in your
tinkering with the patience and for
bearance of the American people, for
there is a great deal of unauthorized
dynamite in human nature which may
at any time hurl you into eternal OBJ
security. where you will have to spend
the miserable remnant of your bale
full lives beneath the ever lowering
clouds Of everlasting infamy and
popular detestation. If our suffer-
ing countrymen could obtain the
PfOuuCIS VI our IdfnS from C0OSo VINO
hold the money and gamble in our
sweat and blood, at prices within the
bounds of reason. the situation would
present less injustice and there would
be some consolation even in parting
with our property at prices that are
confiscating our homes and entailing
perpetual poverty upon ourselves aud
the generations to follow. Finally. as
humble tiller of the soil and one
who is now doing his own thinking,
l will say again to you fellows: Don't
you monkey too much with the insti-
tutlons bequeathed to us by the heroes
OF the revolution (and the silver dol
lar is one of them) for in such an
event we stand ready. yea. we are actu-
ally painting as the hart panteth for the
water brooks. for an opportunity to
sink you SO deep in private life that
the sunlight of political and social
recognition can never reach YOU.
Are not your dreams in the stiffness of
the night haunted by the spectres of
starving women and children whose
cries for bread and mercy beat against
your deadened souls like ocean bill
lows upon a rock bound shore?
