WATCH THEM.

The latest dodge of the goldbugs
is to try to get those Senators who
have declared for silver to agree to
come to vote. The goldbugs have
already captured the majority of the
Senate, and the only hope for the
people to defeat their scheme, is for
the minority to stave off a vote. So
keep your eyes on every Senator
who says he is for. silver and op-
posed to repeal of the Sherman law,
yet is willing for the question to
come to vote. This means that he
has sold out to the goldbug combine
but has not the courage to say so.
Intelligent people will see this, and
put mark on every one that will
follow him to his political grave.

NATIONAL HANks AHE FAILURES.
Mr.. Patterson told of Senator
Teller's speech, IN which he proved
that national banks are failures Is
banks of issue, exchange or deposit.
The logical conclusion, he said, ls
that national banks should 5e elm
mated from the financial system of
the Government. The Government
should issue to the people every dol
lar of the money that issued gold,
silver and greennacks- cheers to
the extent of $50 per capita
Renewed applause.
The Government continued Mr..
Patterson, should furnish to the
people bank in which their de-
posts may be safe. Without reflect
ing on the management of the saw
ings banks of Denver, it is a fact
that many family wants food
which has money tied up in the
banks. The people want bank
whose door will always be open;
bank where the teller's face may
always be seen, backed by the
Government of the United States,
and one that will give TO the people
small rate Of interest in view of
the rainy day that is always sure to
come. Applause.
CONFESSION OF FAITH.
Mr.. Patterson next described the
beneficial effects Of the postal tele-
graph. He surprised his hearers by
adding: On the subtreasury scheme
| stand with the Peoples party. |
Cheers. The platform declares in
favor of the subtreasury scheme or

NEW YORK OeMO-REPUBLICAN CON
VENTlONS.

The wing of the Demo-Republican
party of New York labeled Demo-
cratic, met in State convention at
Saratoga last Thursday; the wing
labeled Republican met the same
day at Syracuse. They went through
the form of putting up two tickets
and writing two platforms. The
platforms agree on the essential
points of money, corporations, ETC.,
but each one of course had their lit
tie pet lodges for campaign thunder
to work up and fool the people on.
No matter which side wins, the gold
bugs and monopoliSts are on top.
The only point in the contest over
which the people are expected to
grow enthusiastically patriotic is
which set of monopoly serving politi-
clans shall hold the offices. Ole of
the politicians at Saratoga is report
ed to have said that they would make
the Federal election law matter
hot enough to keep party lines drawn.
Two set of politicians with single
thought, two parties that act as one.

UNDER WHAT FLAG, Mr.. BRYAN2

Congressman Bryan of Nebraska
went home last week to attend a
Democratic State convention at
Lincoln. He found that Cleveland
go dug combine had complete charge
of the machine and the Democratic
State convention. When the same
resolution for free coinage of silver
(Which was passed by that conven-
ton two years ago. was offered by
Mr.. Bryan, he was howled down,
and the resolution defeated by a
vote of 800 to 100. This shows
that the Democratic party of
that State no longer represents the
people and their interest, and it is
now the duty of Congressman Bryan
(and of every patriot in Nebraska)
to get under the banner of the Popu-
list party and fight the combination
OF Democrats and Republican mon
opolist to the bitter end. We believe
Mr.. Bryan is a patriot, and that he
will take this course.

Secretary Carlisle has sert to

the resolution of inquiry recently
passed by that body, asking why he
had not obeyed the law and bought
four and half million ounces of
silver each month and issued silver
certificates thereon. His ex-
PLANTATION does not explain; he says
that the price was fuctuating so
that he could not tell what was the
market price, so he fixed his own
price, and the holder of silver would
not sell for the price named. The
Secretary is required by law to buy
at the lowest price at which it is Of
fred (not a price that he may fix.

confession that he has not only been
assisting the goldbugs to bear down
the price of silver, but that he has
also violated his oath of office.
