BIMETALLIST CONVENTION.
1t will be Held Either in Chicago
or Denver Early in January.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2-The ma

the auspices of the bimetallic league,
to be held early in the coming year,
will be called either for this city,
Chicago, or Denver. St. Louis.
which has hitherto been a favored
locality for such gatherings, has been
tabooed by those in authority in the
league as result of the cold comfort
it has given to the advocates of free
silver and the influence it brought
to bear through it's leading business
industries towards the passage of the
repeal bill. The object of the COM
ing convention is to organize for the
congressional elections, it being the
intention of the silver party to make
a fight in every district of the coun-
try where the regular candidates are
not in accordance with the silver
principles. It is given out that a
fund of $500, 900 can be raised for this
purpose so that the party will not
lack the sinews of war.

Interest on Money.

We do not go so far as to say that
all interest on money is wrong. 1t
may be justly held that if A does
not desire to venture his capital in
trade, and B is willing to risk his in.
dustrY in that way, that B may Dor.
row AS idle money and pay A some.
thing reasonable for the use of it.
1t may be that money-lending has
wrecked more homes than it has
made happy. It may be that the
whole system is wrong; and that the
world would be the better without
it; but it is certain that evil finan-
cial and governmental conditions
have brought mankind to such a
pass that money-borrowing seems a
necessity; and that to abolish it,
now and at once would be like with.
holding alcohol from the poor de.
moralized wretch who is staggering
on the verge of delirium tremems. The
whole subject is profound one; and
profoundly interesting; and we ex.
tract from a recent article some
facts which show how the question
was regarded in the old times:
Henry VIII was the first monarch
to legalize the taking of interest
[usury] on monay loaned
Calvin was the first preacher to
defend it, and Cromwell endorsed it,
which so delighted the Jews that
they instituted worship of him in
their synagogues as their messiah.
All through the ages to that time
the church, both Roman Catholic
and Protestant, warred upon inter
est [usury] with the same consist
ency and persistence that they did
upon other deadly sins, but there
after churchmen (Romanist and Pro-
testant) became comparatively luke
warm.
The term usury payment for use)
becoming OpprObriOus, was aban-
doned, and the word interest" was
invented by the money-changers as
substitute. The historian Hume
refers very quantity but pointedly to
this substitution as a "lucky acct
dent of language which has great
effect upon ignorant mems ideas"
a distinction without difference
used to delude the simple minded.
Interest" now means the lawful
rate payable for the use of money.
and ''usury," interest in excess of
the lawful rate. This change of
definition is a trick of the money
changer to delude and rob the peo-
pie. But it won't work IT, cannot
deceive the Almighty. While read
ing the following scripture texts
please keep these facts in view:
WHAT SAITH THE LORD?
Lev. 25: 35-And if thy brother gbe
waxen poor and fallen in decay with
thee then thou shalt relieve him:
yea, though he be a stranger or a
sojourner, that he may live with

At the last annual meeting of the

resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That the president and

local alllance once during the year.
Every active alliance to set time for
meeting, and notify one of these of-
ticers in time to be present.
So far we have received no notice
OF any meeting and we have reason
otherwise to infer that many of the
alliances are not very "active" At
present. AS an effort to remedy this.

POPULISTS ARE JUBLITANT.
They Expect to Capture the Presi.
dency in 1896.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE repre-
sentatives of the populist party in
congress are elevated over the pros
pective result of the fight for uncon-
ditional repeal and claim it will
mass the advocates of free silver in
the South and West under their ban
ner. They say they expect to capture
the presidency in 1896. Already they
are DISCUSSING the ticket seriously in
the belief that the nomination will
not prove an empty honor. A strong
sentiment favors Jerry Simpson, and
Senator PETER also has a following,
but the energetic oratory of Senator
Allen, Of Nebraska, who made the
15-hOur speech in the senate, seems
to have charmed the members of his
party in the house to such an extent
that he is just now enjoying presi-
Dental boom. Representative Davis,
of Kansas, openly espouses this be-
lief and says that his running mate
should be Tom Watson, of Georgia,
who immortalized Representative
Cobb's famous inquiry, "Where am I

Congress has Adjourned.

After doing all it could 60 serve
England and ruin the United States
our cowardly and corrupt congress
has buttoned up it's plumber, packed
it's valise and is trotting home, amid
falling markets and increasing bank
ruptcies. Even Wall Streets boot
black and scullion, Bill Washburn,
realizes that the pretense that good
times were to follow repeal was a
swindle. He was interviewed in New
York:
II am glad the fight is over, and
that repeal has won the day." he
said. 1.-THE effect-nOt Immediate,
perhaps-should be to restore conf.
dence and improve business. 1t
would have been better if the bill
had been repealed long ago."
Mark the modified tone of this once
enthusiastic prophet of prosperity:
1.-THE effect-not immediate perhaps
SHOULD be to restore confidence and
improve business" (Ah! IndeedD
Even the Minneapolis Tribune, IRE
publican) says "aoheat has fallen every
day since repeal soas accomplished"
Here is the Minneapolis chamber
of commerce report for Nov. 4th:
Wheat. opened weak and lower,
gathered considerable strength quite
early in the session through some
good buying orders from outside.
Where these orders came from was
an enigma for the majority of the
trade to unravel, and up to noon the
secret was not revealed. The de-
mand from this source, however, was
satisfied early, and the early gain in
values was lost by II a. M, after
which the market continued stub
born, with trading very light. 1t
was good scalping market, and the
nimble trader no doubt prOfited ~
it's cratic course. There was moth
ing in the way of news to help The
longs. Cables generally adviser of
dull and inactive markets. Private
cables to flour traders were vel dis
couraging, and as one pron1 Inent
were SO ridiculously low that ke felt
AAO SdOAuS OdCh UudU We llU uOl

The politicians were prQ5 ably try.
ing to boom the marketi but their
little pile soon gave out. And
''cables" were adverse. Indeed
Why John Bull was to make us all
rich; but John has landed his fish
and cares nothing more for it. And
the millers felt "like cabling back
that they didn't steal the wheat to
make the flour!" Is that so? The
farmers would say they stole about
one-third of it; and have been doing
so, for about twenty-five years.
And so we are robbed of one-halt
the worlds metallic money; deprived
of the needed increase of So, SOC, OOC
silver notes per month; and are
launched over the Niagara of ruin,
by such shallow-pated abortions as
Washburn and Davis and McCleary
and O. M. Hall and the rest; and our
reward is:-falling markets and uni
versal bankruptcy.

and will pay the highest market
price, according to quality. Send
your produce direct to "The Peoples

prices.
Last weeks prices were as follows:
Finest Creamery, % to 30c.; finest

The Elections.

Elections were held yesterday in
Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, New Jersey, New York,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Vir-
ginia and Colorado. The result is
republican land slide. Ohio elects
Mckinley by $4,000 plurality and
dominates him for the presidency.
New Jersey has deserted the de-
mocracy and gone republican. Mas
sachusetts elects the republican
state ticket. In New York the in
dependent democrats deserted Tam
many and turned the state over to
the republicans, Maynard, the dem
ocratic candidate for Judge of the
court of appeals was buried under a
majority of 100000. The republican
tidal wave rolled over Iowa and
buried the democrats under a 10000
majority. Kentucky and Virginia
go democratic. Kansas is claimed
by the republicans, and Nebraska,
South Dakota and Colorado have
probably gone the same way.
The returns are very meager and
incomplete, and are doubtless with
held in the western states where
old party losses are expected. The
returns indicate populist gains and
republican losses in Nebraska and
Colorado. Complete returns will
doubtless show strong gain in the
populist vote as compared with the
last vote throughout the west.

These are trying times with the
country press of all parties; and
especially those of the peoples party
for the circulation of the latter is
confined to the more intelligent
part of the community, and this is
always minority.
We are glad to learn that the Wa
terville Gazette, a very good popu-
list paper, after being threatened
with suspension, is once more
strongly planted on it's own legs.
Good.
We hope that the peoples party
followers, in every county, will take
hold and strengthen their local
press. Even democrats and repub-
licans ought to be glad to hear the
teachings Of the new gospel of re-
form. It can't hurt them to study
both sides of the question.

Farming the Farmers.

j. Sterling Morton, secretary Of
agriculture to Car Cleveland, de
livered an address recently to the
Worlds Congress of Agriculture at
Chicago. Among other things he
said: ~
During the later perturbations in
the field of finance and commerce,
the farmers of this country have
suffered less than any other class"
Mr.. Morton knows better; the
democratic administration, of which
he is factor, has been the aggres-
sive agent of the money power that
produced the panic and brought the
present distress upon the people-a
distress that rests ultimately upon
the farmer. The jobbing houses are
crowding the retail merchants to the
last extremity for their pound of
flesh; credit is withdrawn; and local
merchants in turn, to save their bust
ness from the sheriff, are pushing the
farmers. Instances almost daily
come to our notice of collectors TAX
ing the last kernel Of the years pro-
duce from the farm-bread, seed and
feed. The Ashby Farmer says:
''Farmers state that they were not
50 hard up in grasshopper times as
they are this fall, and with the Weld
of wheat about five bushels per acre
on an average and IS and SO cents per
bushel it is not surprising that tears
blanche the cheeks Of many of our
honest, hard-wOrkers, who have sew
eral mouths to feed for the coming
year. Many are selling their seed
wheat to meet their debts.''
A gentleman from Renville county
related an incident to us last week,
which is case in point. The sheriff
sold horse belonging to a man
whose farm adjoined his own. The
animal was of good weight, sound in
every way, and worth at least $4,000.
1t sold under the hammer for$l7. The
fees amounted to SIS, leaving Sc to 0p-
ply on the farmers note. These are the
conditions to which contraction of
the currency and the resultant de-
probation of all values save that of
money have reduced our farmers.
Let us quote again from Mr.. Nor
tons Chicago speech:
"The most insidious and destruc-
tive foe to the farmer is the profess
sional farmer, the promoter of
oranges and alliances, who for politi-
cal purposes farms the farmer. He
will not succeed better by forming
oranges and alliances which general
ly seek to attend some other business
than farming and frequently propose
to establish new systems of coinage
for the government, than he will by
individual Investigations of economic
questions"
And this is the same secretary of
agriculture who recently packed the
Nebraska state democratic conven-
tion with administration "heelers"
by having all the candidates for post
offices in the state notified that un-
less they came to the convention and
brought Cleveland delegations with
them the endorsement of their appli-
cation would be withdrawn.
Mr.. Morton talks through his hat9

duCc party Ut pcOplcS parry was OO1
in this state; and when the fight was
between the democracy and republic
cans; and Mr.. Donnelly, as an old
republican, did what thousands of
the present membership of the peo-
pies party did at that time, as a
choice of evils he preferred one ticket
to the other. The alliance party
was not organized in Minnesota I'M
til 1890; and the peoples party not
until 1892. This paper has published
letters from Mr.. D. to Fish, written
in the 1890 campaign, wherein he
had to threaten Fish to force him
to support S. M. Owen, the alliance
candidate for governor, for whom
Mr.. D. made thirty odd speeches.
In the 1892 campaign Mr.. Donnelly
was the candidate for governor on
the peoples ticket; he spent 5000 of
his own money; made one hundred
odd speeches during the year; and
stood by and fought for the whole
ticket until the last vote was polled
and counted. Fish, on the other
hand, sold out to the republicans,
filled his pockets with money; and,
in the heat of the fight, attacked
the peoples party because the de-
mocracy resolved to support part of
our electoral ticket; and howled
Fusion" although. we gave the
democrats nothing in return, and
could not have prevented them from
voting for our candidates if we had
wanted to; and there was no reason
why we should want to. Mr.. Don
nelly publicly charged Fish with
selling out the party and challenged
him to sue him (Donnelly) for libel;
Fish took steps to commence at once
a suit for $4,000 damages; but dried
up when he found that the Repub.
lican State Central Committee would
not prejure themselves to save him.
At a joint meeting held in July
last, of the Executive committee of
the state alliance and the State Cen
trail committee of the peoples party,
report of which will be found else
where in this paper, a strong resolu-
ton was passed, unanimously en-
dorsing Mr.. Donnelly's course and
career for thirty years past; and de-
claring that the men who were abus-
ing him were 1.-THE hirekngs Of plottocra-
cy, directly referring thereby to
Fish, who was assailing him in every
issue of his paper. And not uoice soas
raised IN thot gathering of representative
men, from all parts of the state, against
this resolution or in defense of Fish.
The wretch is ''played out" in Min
nesota, utterly ''played OUT" and all
he can do is to follow Mr.. Donnelly,
by letters, into other states, where
he may go to lecture, to create dis
trust against him, and lessen his in
fuence.
He hopes to bite him in the heel,
in this way, like cur dog, and force
him to kick back at him; and notice
him. He is dying of his own insig-
nificance.

Instead of the repeal of silver pur-

have brought worse; the liabilities of
the failures, for the week ending
Oct. 18th, amounted to $7,4OO, 900
against S., 800, 900 for the previous soeek.
And the total number of failures for
the week ending Oct. 26th, were 1853,
while in the corresponding week of
last year they were but 238.
Good Times! OF course! The

cate, the Waseca Herald, the Man
katO Journald, the Window Citizen,
the Mcintosh Times and many other
bright reform papers in behalf of
the peoples party. We hope they
will receive hearty support at the
hands of their constituents. The
best way to secure the success of a
newspaper is to make it so good and
interesting that even those who
don't like it can't get along with
