To Hide the Real Issue.

A set of party hacks or rather sets of
party hacks haye started the Fall campaign
with the statement, on which they are
united, that the present money strugency
and business paralysis is in no sense due TO
financial conditions, but that such stringency
and paralysis is solely due to fee RS as to What
tariff changes may or may not be made by
coming regular session Of Congress. So far
| they dwell together in harmony because the
same money power controls both by the
same means. Farther than this these sets
of party hacks agree to disagree. One sets
up in the fear and trembling business about
what may be done with tariff. The other
goes into the soothing and quieting business
by assuring that nothing bad will be done
with the tariff.
Inasmuch as this babble and appeal to the
prayers and fears of the credulous and
! ignorant on the tariff has been kept up
every minute since 1887, during which time
money famlnes and business desolations nave
been precipitated upon the country to be
recovered from in time through the energy
industry and ingenuity of the peoI le, there
would seem to be very large screw loose in
the popular befogging machinery of those
sells of hack politicians. The tariff babble
has been chonic, incessant, and perennial
The money and business revolutions have
been violent, sudden and periodical, and
their opposing phases haye been alternating
and spasmodic.
/ Credulous and foolish people can be made
to believe that money famine happens under
natural laws Crafty knaves and students in
political economy both know that they do
not happen by chance, and are not the
legitimate outgrowth of business. Credulous
and foolish people can be made to fear and
tremble as to what the "confdence" of sci
of gamblers and rascals may develop. Stu
dents in finance know how to wrest from the
hands Of such men the control of the finances
which control government alone can give
them, and of which control government
should Immediately deprive Them Talk
about tariff will not always obscure or sub
merge from popular sight the true cause
of money famines, panics, and business
| disasters. -Western Rural.

Wrath to Come.

For the first time since the begin
ming of the present Congressional
Session it does look as if repeal Of
the 1890 silver law is not assured.
In truth the indications are that
no repeal can possibly take place
without some form of compromise in
greater favor with the silverites than
the present law.
Now all this has meaning.
If all the existing law cannot be
repealed it will make the money
lenders so far forget them selves tn al
they will openly do some thing and
thus still further give themselves
away.
So great is it likely that their
animosity against the peoples inter
ests will extend, they in all proba
bility will invoke some desperate
measure, and through the columns OF
their bribed press, show condition
of mind on the subject that will open
the eyes of the people residing in
Eastern cities.
This once done, the days of usury
will have passed away, and the
farmers and the people will find it
comparatively easy to borrow money
from the Government at cost upon
good security.

There is But One Way Out of Our
Financial and Other Eco
nomic Troubles.

The beginning of the much talked Of and
much desired re forms is the turning out and
keeping out all such men as have composed
our national legislature for many years.
The way they are proceeding 10 mend mat
tiers at Washington, in an extra session
called for a single purpose, ought to satisfy
any and every voter of ordinary intelligence
that the overwhelming majority of both
Houses do not want any change from present
systems, which steadily rob the poor and
laboriug class for the further enrichment OF
the wealthy class. If they can bamboozle
the people by trying chow not 10 it,' they
will leave no efforts untried to effect this
object, but the crowd who make up the
present congress will make no changes look
ing TO the betterment of the condition of the
masses.
No more will any future congress, than
the present, elected by the old political
organizations, democrat and republican,
ever allow any measures looking TO the re-
form of our corrupt systems to become laws.
The men elected by those organizations are
not placed in nomination or elected for that
purpose. The people may make up their
mind TO turn out and for ever keep out of
congress such men as now disgrace the
capitol, if they expect any legislation for
the public benefit.
A small minority have tried to have
remedial legislation introduced but the
great majorties of the two old parties
are intent on the total decentralization. of
silver, and the establishment of the
English gold system, increasing the pur-
chasing power of debt, the further decline
in prices, the contraction of the volume Of
all money that is issued By the government,
the enlargement of the powers of the Wall
street banks and the further emasculation Of
the power of the government over the
finances Of the country.
That this is the policy of the two old
parties, nothing is palmer; that it will
continue to be their policy is most certain ;
that tn, total overthrow OF both of these old
parties must be accomplished or things will
go on from bad to worse. That everything
in their present movement and recent his
tory indicates this we believe nothing is
more clearly demonstrated.
The corrupt men who constitute the bulk
of congress is alarming. Drinkers, liber-
tines, bride takers are the strongest charac-
terstics which distinguish a very large
portion of them.
Do the people in the same blind manner
as heretofore. mean 10 go Oh electing such
men in their stupid idiocy TO party name ?
Of what use has the ballot been to them
when the conditions which they have voted
upon themselves are considered? The
fabulous wealth the industrial class Of this
country creates flows steadily as the current
of great river into the Golfers of a few
mammouth corporations, and is divided up
among millionaire class who are steadily
erecting barriers between themselves and
the people

Wall street has suffered repulse
in its first vigorous charge on the
Sherman Silver act, and it is now
pretty certain that it cannot be
Internationally repealed. The panic
was manufactured to order and for
the purpose of forcing repeal. This
every body now sees and the panic
makers ignore rather than deny it.
The next movement in order on
the silver line will be some kind Of o
compromise between Wall street or
the national banks-they are all the
same-and the silver miners. Let
the Peoples Party stand from
under! These compromises are
Pandora boxes-every one of them.

A Popular Error.

Why do we constantly hear it re-
peated that the greenbacks, national
bank notes and other national cur
rency are bottomed on the taxing
power of the government ? They are
no more bottomed on that power
than the taxing power is bottomed
on the currency. 1t is the power
and prerogative of the government
TO make and enforce edicts which
give all national money it's vital func
tions. 1t is simply the sovereign power
of government that stands behind its
laws compiling the unwilling to obey
them which holds the machinery of
society together. That power makes
the money it issues legal tender
ever current, and non refusab.e for
debt paying and the machinery for
the exchange of products this
accomplished money has no other
legitimate function. The idea that
money must be based and Jottomed
on some real or imaginary substance
appears to be the delusion which

A FURTHER REDUCTION IN FARE FOR
THE COACH EXCURSIONS.


THE COACH EXCURSIONS.
The rapid approaching termina'
ton of Columbian Exposition and
the enormous travel now directing
itself to Chicago prompt the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company to still
further reduce its round-trip rate on
the popular Worlds Fair Coach
Excursions. The rate from Phila-
delphia will be SIT; Lancaster,
$3.50; Harrisburg, $l5.75; Altoon,
Sl4 so, and a proportionate reduc-
tion from other points along the
main line and branches. These rates
apply only to special trains leaving
on September %, October I'd and an
additional one just arranged for
October 9Th. The tickets will, as
before, be good for return passage
within ten days on trains leaving
Chicago at 3.15 and ll.3Q p. IN.
The rate has now reached the low
est possible point, ana is within tue
means of almost every one, which
end the railroad company has long
been endevoring to attain. Early
application for tickets is urged, in
view of the increased demand which
will undoubtedly follow this liberal
