St. Johns Opinion Of Our Needs.

Gov. St. John expressed himself
as follows in recent interview:
"1The immediate need OF the coun-
try is gnancial system that will be
as good for the poor man as for the
rich, that will deal with all classes
alike. The present distrust had its
foundation years ago in the issue OF
government bonds payable in coin,'
which was afterwards declared by
congress to mean gold coin, and
this was followed by the demonetlz-
alton of silver in 1878; and from
that time legislation has kept up
the discrimination against silver and
paper money. All money issued by
the government should be upon an
equality before the law and be
legal tender for all purposes. There
should be no more bonds payable IN
gold. All Indebtedness should be
liouidated by the same class OF mon
ey that we give to the farmer tor
his wheat and pork, and to the la
boring man for his days work.
France floats great deal more sill
YER than we do, although she has
onlv little over half of our popu-
lation; and she floats it at par, for
the reason that it stands upon an
eouality before the law with all
other money.
"Then we want to blot out the
liquor traffic and turn into leglti-
mate channels of trade the 81 800
OOO, 600 that is to-day wasted annu'
allv under the present Democratic
and Republican policy. No people
can avoid bankruptcy that perpetu-
ate system that robs them every
wear of an amount of money nearly
equalling the assessed valuation OF
all the taxable wealth of great
state like Pennsylvania. One OF the
first and most important steps to
take to bring about the reforms the
country so much needs is the total
and everlastion humiliation OF both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. They are responsible for the
disorder, pauperism and the greater
mart of the crime that exists in our
country to-day, and the quicker the
people rid themselves Of such pollt-
ical influences, the sooner the day
will come. Never were the people
of the United States SO thoroughly
aroused to the danger that confronts
us.

Feeding often and irregularly coddles
