The democratic party having appro.
priated TO itself, presumably as a part
of the spoils of the last campaign, the
monopoly cloak hitherto so gracefully
aud effectively worn by republicans,
has effectaally scotched the republi-
can snake. In other words, it has
placed the republican party in such a
position that at the very best, it eau
Ia the future, fight but half-hearted
battle. But political fnesse is two
edged sword which cuts both ways, and
while scheming democrats are weak
aniDg the republican organization BIZ
making themselves solid with the
money power, they are also alternating
from their party thousands of demo-
Gratis who have honestly believed that
the protestations of their leaders for
"a change" were sincere. For every
vote gained by the democrats from the
defunct republican organization they
win lose hundreds of their own voters
to the peoples party. The result will
be such an uplifting of the peoples
party as no party ever before expert
enced. The people are now slowly
realizing that in the last contest be-
tweed the old parties they were the
~sHilms of heads L-wln. tsils-you-lose
game in the interest of plutocracy.
Some Of the effects Of their awakening
will be seen in the congressional and
state campaigns of next year, but they

revenge upon their deceivers In 1895 by

The Illinois democratic legislature.

than million dollars more than the

ENGLAND'S INFAMY.

No one doubts for an instant but
that the suspension of silver coinage in
India was brought about bg the money
power OF England Nor does any one
believe that this action is to be perma-

to suspend silver coinage in India 1t,
is, and ever has been, midas only
medium OF exchange. All her business
transactions are adjusted on that basis
and 1t has ever been a profitable one
for England. This step at this time
can only be accounted for as one of the
steps in the conspiracy against Ameri.
can silver, against the American sys-
TEN of finance and against American
independence. 1t is to the interest OF
England to buy cheap silver to carry
on her India trade. 1t is the oulv vav

and American cotton. She already

ABOUT DEMAGOGUES.

j. Sterling Morton, Cleveland's boss
farmer, is out in an interview, the
genuineneSs of which is attested by
picture of himself in the body of it,
in the course of which he says that
"the populist party is disintegrat-
ing" The only reason he assigns for
this funny opinion is 81 do not think
the people will be long led astray by
demagogues. The strong common
sense OF the average citizen discovers
the agitator and damagogue in time,
and the third party, led by disgraced
demagogues discharged from the two
national parties, is rapidly going to
pieces"
This is cogent, logical reasoning, isn't
it? But it would seem to have been
stronger if the honorable gentleman
had not coupled the words 'agitator and
demsgogue," together in such way as
to make it appear that the man who
''agitates" for better conditions is
equally culpable with the ''dema-
gogue," who deceiyes the people for
his own selfish purposes. George
Washington was an "agitator." So
was Martin Luther, aud the prince of
agitators was nailed to a cross nearly
two thousand years ago, The pecu-
liar characteristics of the "agitator"
are Numerically opposed to those
which make up the "demagogue"
They have no more ideas and thoughts
in common than J. Sterling Morton
and James y. Weaver have.
The agitator is man Of principle
who does not hesit ate, when occasion
requires, to show the people their own
stupidity. The demagogue is without
principle, and relies solely on his
ability to flatter the people by talking
about 1.-THE strong common sense of
the average citizen" to accomplish his
ends Mr.. Morton is abundantly sat
isfed with existing conditions, there
fore, he is not an agitator. and, per-
haps, it is natural that he should
couple what he is not with that which
it is generally acknowledged it is not
desirable to be. But, for all this, If
Mr.. Morton really desires to shine in
the field to which he has been, as it were,
transplanted, BY that eminent 6nau-
cial botanist G. C, he should be more
careful in stringing words together
than he ever was in stringing beans,
lest they make him appear ia light
different from what he intended. He
should also remember that fool may
be a demagogue, because ideas and

New YORK, June 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review Of trade, published
this morning, says:
The improvement expected from
the issue of clearinghouse certificates,
thus utilizing credits instead of cash in
local dealings, has not been realized.
The failure of banks at San Francisco
lead to heavy demand from
that quarter, Sl,OOO,0OO having
been sent in a single day. Dis
trust of weaker banks was avoided by
the application of the Bank of Com
merce for Sl,OO0,OOO certificates, and
81, $50, OOn were issued Thursday, but
the pressure for rediscounts for int
rior banks is beyond the ability of
New York to meet. The secretary has
given notice that he will anticipate
the payment of interest July J.,
amounting to S7,5OO,OOO, but only
81, 100000 on bonds held by banks
which will be Immediately discussed.
The volume of trade is GER
tainly reduced by monetary
stringency. Bank clearings outside
of New York are declining materially
in comparison with last year. In some
departments of business orders for
merchandise are deferred, since there
is no L surance of ability to carry the
goods Until they are sold, while in
other departments orders are not re.
ceived because the future is distrusted
The effect on the great industries
is less, thus far, than might have been
feared, but many works are now re
ducing the number of hands and many
Others must soon suspend unless the
prospects are clearer"
