POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE.

Home rule for America-Success Of
the peoples party.
-Tariff-The subject most talked Of
and least acted on.
Modern Democracy-Child's play Of
'follow your leader"
Each citizen is q part of tho gov
eminent How is this now?
-"Dishonest dollars" are those which
contractionists call ''honest dollars"
We are at the mercy of the bullion
owner. As the government is not in
the mining business we must simply
rely on the disposition Of the bullion
list and the banker as to whether we
shall have any money at all or not.
Let us have wit enough to forever put
II past that class of men to manipulate
our finances Tribune.
The United States is able to take
care of its own monetary system with
out consulting any other government,
and in the near future the money in
torest Of this country will be run on an
American plan without regard to the
wishes Of the money manipulators of
Europe or their agents in Wall street
or at the national capital.

-Ex- United States Senator Cole, of
California, lifelong republican, has
allied himself with the ever-increasing
peoples party. Mr.. Cole resides at Los
Angeles The stampede for the middle
of the road is on from both sides and
bids fair to assume the proportions of
an "Oklahoma rush" ere the congress
sional elections of next year-Missouri

The American people do not want
any money of redemption. They will
never cease their fight on the economic
question Of the times until all money
is made interchangeable and on an
equality without redeemer. The in
trinsic value humbug has been explod-
ed; the law gives the value to any COM
modify used for money; no other basis
Is needed. Banks of issue must co.
National View.
The right to put the proper amount
of money out belongs to the people as
a whole. To delegate this right to
state bankers as is proposed is equiva-
lent to the government loaning the
bankers the amount of money they may
issue. To give them this amount with
out imposing tax with it is equivalent
TO a loan without interest, and with
imposing tax. to loan at an interest
rate equal to the tax.-Missouri World.
Plutocratic democrats and Shylock
republicans demand a gold basis with
bank credit a. the circulating medium
to transact tho business Of the country.
Honest democrats, republicans and
popu1ists demand the unlimited coin
age Of all silver and gold on . ratio of
10 to 1 with an adequate amount of
full legal tender paper money issued
by the government direct to the people
sufficient IN volume with the gold and
silver to do the business Of tho country.
National View.
Abolish usury and you will stop
the voluntary idleness Of tho rich. and
the involuntary idleness and conse-
quent suffering Of the poor. Furnish
capital or credit at cost, and dividends
will no longer be divided among the
non-producers; the producers will have
all they produce. Prohibit tho hold
ing of land for speculative or usury
profits, and every family will be free.
These three things, net profits, monop-
oily prices and rents in excess of usu-
tuct, when analysed are found to be,
IN principle, one and the same.-Alli-
ance independent
1T must never be forgotten that so
far as the populists are concerned the
whole contest in the senate is over the
word unconditional There is no
love for the Sherman bill. The pur-
chase of silver bullion, more or less, is
not the issue. The Omaha platform
declares for currency sound. safe and
flexible, sufficient in volume for the de-
mands of business, not subject to con-
troll by national bankers, and as part
of this money supply the free and un-
limited coinage of silver as it existed
from the foundation of the government
down to 1878 -Nonconformist.
1T is disheartening to see one coun-
ty after another electing third party
officers on the very heels of the most
glorious democratic victory ever

while in DeKalb, a democratic major

is the time to do it. Let the roll be

from! For Gods sake do something!-

The question is being continually
asked, why silver was demonetized in
1879, when it was worth three per cent.

Gates are asked this question on all
sides, but never one of them makes the
sliRhtest attempt to answer it. They
are ready to say at all times, oh yes
We are bimetallists, but we want . dol

make that. and we want silver; when
we had dollar of silver that was
worth premium, they demonetized it
without cause and refused to give any
