WALLS OF CORN.
liling and beautiful, heavens dome,
snds softly over our prairie home.

Smiling and beautiful, heavens dome,
B ends softly over our prairie home
But the wide, wide wind that stretched away.
Before my eyes in the days of May
The rolling prairies' biIlowy swell,
Breezy upland and the timbered dell.
Stately mansion and hut forlorn.
All are hidden by walls Of com
All wide the world is narrowed down,
To walls of corn, now sere and brown.
What do they hoId-these walls of corn.
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn?
He who questions may soon be told,
A great states wealth these walls enfold.
No sentinel guard these walls of corn,
Never is sounded the warder's horn.
Yet the pillars are hung with cleaning gold,
Left all unbarred, though thieves are bold.
Clothes and food for the toiIing poor
Wealth to heap at the rich mans door;
Meat for the healthy and balm for him
Who means and losses in chamber dim;
Shoes for the barefoOted, pearls to Irvine
In the scented tresses of ladies fine;
Things of use for the lowIy cot,
Where tbless the CORN want cometh not;
Luxuries rare for The mansion grand,
Gifts of a rich and fertile land;
All these things and so many more
1t wonld fill book to name them Ger.
Are hid and held in these walls of corn, :
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn?
Open the Atlas conned by rule,
In the golden days of the district school.
Point to the rich and bounteous land,
That yields such fruit to the toiler's hand.
''Treeless desert, - they called it then,
| Haunted by beasts and forsook by men.
Little they know what wealth untold,
Lay hid where the desolate prairies rolled.
Who would have dared, with brush or pen,
AS this land is now, to paint it then?
{. And how would the wise ones have laughed in SC,
Had prophet foretold these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss in the breeze of morn?

GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE

BEST DINING CAR SERVICE m THE WORT

BEST DINING CAR SERVICE IN TIE WORLD.
The Rock Island is foremost in adopt
ing any advantage calculated to inn
prove speed and give that luxury, safety
and comfort that popular patronage de-
mands. Its equipment is thoroughly
complete with vestibuled trains, mag
nificent dining cars, sleepers and chair
coaches, all the most elegant, and of
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They are
double duty-to the Company and to
travellers and it is sometimes task
difficult of accomplishment. Passen-
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance Of this Line can be
better understood if a short lesson in

The REPUBLIC hears a good deal
about the office seeking the man. The
REPUBLIC does not know of a case of
this kind. Weaver sought the nomina-
ton and refused to have his name
withdrawn. All our present state Off
GERS with the exception possibly of
one, Percy Daniels, the lieutenant gov
ernor, sought the nomination. All
the present incumbents of the county
officers sought directly or Indirectly
their nominations to office. Given. a
man who has in no way sought the
office, some man or association of men
must seek the office for him. These
purveyors are the arbiters of the des-
tiny of the dear candidate. The sys-
tenn is likely to result in either ''politi-
cal bossism' OF ''ring rule

HERE is nut for the intrinsic
value theorists to crack. The gold
authorized by the act of April 2, 1892,
contained go grains of gold. This act
was changed by the act of June %,
1884, reducing the grains in a gold
eagle to 25S. Here is a reduction of II
grains in the gold eagle and yet it has
never in any way effected the reducti-
on of its money value 1t is worth just
as much. as before. Let us examine
how the rule works with silver. Two
half-dollars contain 800 grains and
they are worth 100 cents. The stand
ard;silver dollar contains 4121S grains
and is worth only 100 cents. The trade
dollar contained 400 grains and went
out'of business at so cents because it
was. declared not legal tender for all
debts. :; How is it with copper and
nickel? It takes IA cents worth of cop
per TO make a dollars worth of pennies
and 20 cents worth OF nickel makes
five dollars. worth of niekeIs The IN
avoldable inference is, the fat of the
governments makes and unmakes the
money value OF coins, and the intrinsic
value AasnQthing to do with their cur
rent value.

listed in the war for the peoples rights
to the bitter end, whatever the result
NAV be.-Senator Stewart.
PEFFER,s SPEECH

THE REPUBLIC has carefully read
Senator PETERS speech in the senate,
on the repeal of the Sherman law. He
stands where all the Peoples party
members of congress stand-for free
coinage at 16 to 1. His speech shows
remarkable research on the coinage
and currency question, indeed, it is
encyclopedia.
He affirms that Wall street specula-
tors and gamblers are Cleveland's adj
visers aud shows how they have been
favored by past administrations.
The contraction of the currency from
1866 to 1870 amounted to 81, 100000, 900
all of which was refunded in non-tax-
able bonds payable, eventually, inter
est and principal in gold. This con-
traction only left, June 80, 1870, the
the sum of S7OO,645, 668 in circulation,
so that in five years, with population
and business rapidly increasing, prop
erty values were shrunken one-half
and the burden of debts was doubled.
The law of 1873 dropped the stand
ard silver dollar from the list of coins
and further contracted the currency.
The Bland act of February %, 1873,
restored the coinage of the silver dol
lar, and gave the secretary of the treas
ury the option of coming not less than
100000 nor more than 100000 per
month.
The secretary of the treasury held to
the minimum, and in II years, if he
had coined the maximum of 100000
per month, the people would have had
s375, 100000 more than was actually
coined.
The secretary of the treasury, in
March 1890 made a trip to New York
and sent out cards of invitations to
bankers to meet him at the sub treas
ury to discuss measures of relief for
the money stringency. AS result of
this conference, circulars were sent
out offering to redeem United States
bonds, 4 and AZ per cent bonds not
yet due, or pay nine months interest
in advance. From April II, 1888, to
September Ii, 1890, as a result of this
policy ST, 100000 was paid in premiums
and 100000 in advanced interest,
making in all S29OOOOOO of the peoples
money paid into the Golfers of the
bondholders.
Now after all this discrimination in
favor of the bondholders they propose
to repeal the Sherman bullion pur-
chase law, which puts 100000 annu-
ally into circulation and bring the
country to a single gold standard and
further contract the currency and fur
ther inhances the holdings of the
money power.
Mr.. PETER concludes his remarkable
speech, after reviewing the history of
coinage from the times of Jefferson
and Hamilton, in the following forcible
manner:
"Mr. President, the people are going
on guard today. Their posts are in the
farmhouses and in the dwellings of the
poor, in the workshops, in the mines,
in the forests, on the lakes and rivers,
and along the highways of commerce.
Their countersign is loyalty to the re-
public;' the stars and stripes is their
flag, equal rights is their motto; Anglo
Saxon blood is their inheritance; free
dom is their birthright, and to be rul-
ers in their own country is their in
heritance."

The issue is momentous The sue
cess of the money powers means fall
ing prices, poverty and misery for the
masses. The question which the senate
is considering involves more for veal
or woe to the human race than any
question ever submitted to the Ameri-
can congress. The press either con
ceals or totally misrepresents all that
is said in behalf of the peoples cause
and publishes broadcast, with flaming
headlines, the hypocritical and false
pretenses of the representatives OF
capital that they are bimetallists and
friends of silver, while they are urging
the repeal of the only law which recog-
nizes silver as money, and insisting by
their votes and acts upon the single
gold standard Senator Stewart.
