1t will take political revolution
to wrest the reins of government from
the hands of plutocracy.-Jou of
Agriculture.
Those who attribute the recent
financial furry" to a loss of conf
dence" will confer a favor by inform
ing us what it was that people lost con-
fdence in. Don't oil answer at once
Advocate.
When the press of any party relies
upon ridicule and abuse for it's argu-
ment against political opponents it
only exhibits the poverty of it's re-
sources. 1t does not injure it's oppo-
nents.-Advocate
There promises to be lively inter-
est in the silver question all over the
country during the coming winter. A
quiet thorough organiza ton is going
on among all classes of people, and
such demand for silver literatu was
never known ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The objective point in the war for
the union was not the liberation of the
slave, neither is the free coinage of sill
yer the end sought in the struggle of
the toiling masses. The liberation of
the slave was the resultant and so will
be the free coinage of silver-Iowa
Farmers Tribune.
-Two-thirds of the voters of this
country indorse the Omaha platform.
Millions of them are just waiting to see
whether their neighbor is going to vote
for the party that adopted it. This is
foolish; let every man vote with the
party that advocates his sentiments
regardless of past party affiliations or
what others do.-Farmers' Tribune.
With postal savings banks the
millions of dollars which have been
lost in the past three months by de-
positors would have been saved. Why
not have them? Oh, it will never do
for the government to go into the
banking business! Some people would
rather be skinned alive than to adopt
an idea that is contrary to their party
principles, or their preconceived ideas.
CLAY Center Dispatch.
Let the government issue gold, sill
yer and paper money, declaring on the
face of each piece how much it repre-
sents. Let it make gold and silver le-
gal tender for all kinds of public in
debtedness, except custom dues, inter-
est on the public debt, and direct taxes,
which shall be paid in paper money only.
Then let the people gaze on the great
monkey dance in Wall street as paper
money climbs up and gold gets into the
hole.-National Spectator.
1t is announced that the New York
banks and the sharks of Wall street are
going to allow the west sufficient mon
ey with which to handle our crops
within the next few weeks. This NAV
be reassuring to the farmers and labor
ers of the west, but at the same time
proves that we have the weakest, rot
tenest, most unjust system of finance
that the world ever saw, and that all
the west is at the mercy of Wall street.

Credit is restored" says an ex-
change Credit from one party signi-
fes debt on the other. Debt implies
interest. When ''credit is restored"
the interest mill begins to grind Then
the banker and the money-lender is
happy. And a subsidized press shouts
in ghoulish glee to think of the inter-
est being earned by sweaty toll to keep
in idleness and luxury these ghouls
that fatten upon human misery, wrung
from the men and women of this coun-
try in the form of interest Weekly
Union.
The edict seems to be going forth
from the east to the west and south,
you can borrow no more money from
us, until you let go of your ideas of
money and let us run it to suit our
selves and stop objecting to us stealing
as much as we please. Very we'll, you
are on top now; you fooled the people
of the west and south last wear and
are running things your own way, but
by and by we will get whack at you
and then we will rot do as you do now;
we will work for your interest as well
as our own; we will return good for
evil. industrial Union.
To talk about silver party, with
a one plank platform, is nonsense.
There is but one virtue in favoring
silver, and that is to oppose the money
power and show the people what we
need is more money. If the senate re-
peals the Sherman law silver is dead
and long before the people could get a
congress and president elected who
would change it back, they will learn
that it is not the remedy by any
means. The people of the world are
beginning to learn that gold and silver
have no use, part or lot on the face of
earth, but to enable the ruling few to
rob the laboring many.-Industria
Union.
Says the Great West: 'The organ
1zation of communistic activity be-
tween fnanciers of all nations rests
upon one simple doctrines or dogma,
and it is this: The less real money in
existence, the more must be borrowed.
Destroy all money and have all money
borrowed. In this manner every dol
lar, or thaler, or sequin, or franc, or
sovereign. or mark in the whole broad
world will bear interest to the capital
astlc class. yAnd thus the laboring and
commercial. world, at risk for income.
will take all chances, and paw to us an
absolute and perpetual support" Has
