stay. 1t may presently take in the
majority of the American people,
and perhaps be named the Column
bian Party.
Peoples money and peoples
rights are going to be installed, and
the plutocracy knocked out.
AS to the last proposition, Judge
Gresham is quoted as saying that
"Many entertain stronger hope
than / do, that we are to escape a
bloody revolut1D before this plu-
tocracy of wealth surrenders its
hold"
The evolution into a higher re-
public now fairly begun would take
place like the opening of the bud
into blossom, without shock, were
it not for the probable resistance of
plutocracy. Whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad.
The prejudice of many silver men
against Weaver is founded upon
past party abuse of him. He is a
strong and clear cut man. He is
not a back number, but coming
chapter in American history.
The Farmers Alliance, who know
him best, and especially the South
ern Alliance members, who were
the most insistent for his nomina-
ton, knew what they were about.
Weaver's speeches will be care
fully studied in Wall street during
this years campaign. Will Wall
street and Lombard street see the
handwriting on the wall?
Capital is proverbially sharp
sighted, nevertheless, capital is
blind. Chauncey Depew and few
others entangled in the yoke of plu.
tocracy see. But then. the Chauncey
Depew's are uncommonly bright
men.
The loss of such bright men to
the republic is one of the miseries
and crimes of the present pluto
cratic reign of money in the United
States.
Listen to this: "The silver men,
those who are managing this agita-
ton for what can be made out OF
it, keep up a thunderous noise de-
spite the dilapidated conditions in
which the two conventions left their
bantling. AS regards the votes they
will cast November, there is not
much chance that they will be en-
abled to do anything more than
white down majorities in some
states, but the republicans do not
expect to lose any states on that
account, neither do the democrats.
The above is from the Boston
Transcript, an old-line republican
paper. Notice with what fraternity
it couples the democratic-republi
can cause together against the sill
yer and third party cause. The
New York World heads its editorial
column 1.-THE silver question is not
in it," An Eastern man, the noble
minded editor of the Arena, in com
menting on the above, we'll says:
"Never in the history of the re-
public have the interests of ont
portion of the country been more
completely and scornfully ignored
than during the present year in the
republican and democratic eonven
tons. Both the great national con.
ventions have placed the knife in
the breast of every silver state in
America, by nominating at the
heads of their tickets the sworn en-
emies of silver. Will the republi
cans and democrats of. the silver
states grovel at the feet of Their
national organizations and com
plete the work of destroying the
prosperity of their own common
wealths, by pressing the knife to
the hilt? On all the great issues
now before the people, the republi
can and democratic parties are one
They are the tools of the English
gold power and the Eastern bank
ers and bondholders."
There are many things to live TO
in America yet. One Of them i
to fight this Peoples party fight.
We quote from a speech, opening
the campaign in Colorado July 9Th
"Instead Of finding as we shout,
happiness and contentment of mine
throughout our great domain, ther
are heard from all directions erie
Of distress and dissatisfaction. Ev
cry trade and occupation exhibit
symptoms Of uneasiness and dis
trust. The farmer, artisan AM
merchant all share in = genera
complaint that times are hard. TIL
farmer is in debt and is not realiz

his deferred or current obligations
The artisan, when at work, find
himself compelled to share hi
earnings with some friend who

finds little profit in his sales an,
difficulty in making payment. Gu
