time to time with the mien and bearing
of something that borders on the awful
and mysterious, and it has debated In
every council on the slate and superannu-
ated points of difference that have been
settled and cast aside for hundreds Of
years. Think Of fifty or sixty birds
gathered together under the trees and
debating the question: ResOEOed, That
we are birds and should have the rights
and privileges Of birds. The democratic
party has always considered democracy
its prime and sll-absOrbing theme; yet
the feasibility of democracy was settled
and demonstrated many centuries ago on
the upper banks Of the Mediterranean,
and is now acknowledged and adhered to
by every citizen Of the country, except
the democrat himself, who, knowing his
own shallow and hslf-hidden duplicity,
has always doubted his own democracy.
And with the foregoing in view, we ask
the lRboring man what substitute he can
offer il he rejects the Peoples party. Are
you going to cast your influence in the
same direction and stake your destiny
on the grounds of your former lossesF
Or would it be better for you to recon-
slider your steps and chase no more the
will-o-the-wisp Of lost and vRnquished
virtueP 1t is all left with you and we
trust that you will avail yourself OF your
opportunities and build fabric of politi-
cal strength that will survive the jests
and Jeers Of enemy and foe, successfully
combat with the armed legions of fate,
and remain to encourage and to bless
long after every living soul has taken its
fight and everybody gone down to blank
oblivion and indistinguishable dust.

Reconstruction.

EDITOR ADVOCATED see q disposi-
tion among many of the Peoples party
to criticize somewhat unklndly the dem
ocrats and republicans as such. / think
this q mistake, and tends directly to
thwRrt the end which we are all trying to
attain.
Before the wants of the people are
achieved we must have a change Of leg
islatures; before getting laws repealed we
will have to send to state and national
councils men who are committed to these
reforms. This uprising Of our people is
but an effort TO get our country back to
its original simplicity as advanced by its
founder, Thomas Jefferson. Those who
have always clung to the name democ-
racy are to be somewhat excused for
their tenacity to name. Persons forget
that true democrRcy-a government Of
the people, by the people-has, since its
foundation, assumed different exteriors,
at one time going under the name of JEFF
ferson democracy, and again as Lincoln
republicanism, but always embodying
the underlying thought of veal for the
masses.

to become corrupt IL surfeited with

A New Kind of National Banks.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Tne banking and
financial questions were recently dis
cussed at Philadelphia and Chicago, by
Horace White, OF New York, Congress-
man Walker, Of Ohio, and several other
shrewd bankers and advocates Of the
gold standard. They all agree (l) that
the banking business is principally the
buying, selling, borrowing and exchange
OF property; ~ that 95 per cent of
banking business is done by bank paper,
notes, drafts and checks; (9 that only
about Is per cent. Of gold and silver
coin is required to successfully carry on
the entire business OF the country; (4)
that the financial business and amount
Of money in circulation should be con-
Quoted and controlled by banks indie
pendent OF the government.
Mr.. Walker, who is a member OF house
committee on banking, is author Of house
bill 10yO94, which seems to meet the
views Of the leading bankers and advo-
Gates Of the gold standard principle; and,
if possible, it will be pushed through its
passage by next session of congress. The
substance of bank securities, or reserve,
are to be gold, silver, government bonds,
railroad and state bonds. Mr.. Walker
says il this bill goes into effect we shall
finally have $6O0,0O0,0O0 Of government
notes instead Of $324,OO0OOO we now
have, and it permits banks TO issue notes
to the amount of the reserves they held
during any consecutive six months. It
also provides for the gradual and COM
plete separation of the banking business
Of the country from the government, but
as this cannot be done by PLAIN, ex-
pressed terms, Mr.. Walker frankly ad-
mits that he has $50 obscurely nestled it
in the bill it can grow as Topsy did"
He predicts il the bill goes into effect, it
will within ten years, without the peo-
pie perceivlng it, retire from circulation
all government currency. He also says
ii W i'll enable banks to run their reserves
up or down as they choose and yet pre-
serve an elasticity Of S200,000000. In
other words, banks could increase or de-

crease the volume Of money to the e1-
tent Of s2OO,OOOOOO.
These conspirstors admit that the
people demand large increase in the
volume Of national currency correspond
ing with increase Of population and bust
ness demands Of the country, but they
hope to hocdwink the people with the
alluring bait that 100000, 600 of currency
will be placed in circulation by the banks,
who will pay 2 per cent. interest, or tax,
as they shrewdly call it. AS this 2 per
cent. tax Is to be paid only on amount Of
national currency actually used by the
banks, and as they can issue bank notes,
drafts and checks, it is evident they will
only begin with limited amount Of
government currency, which they will
gradually replace with bank notes.
The scheme is q fraud. While it pre-
tends to be adjusted upon a gold basis,
it is in fact based upon bank notes, drafts
and checks. It places our financial sys-
tenn in the hands Of the rich, who COM
pose about 6 per cent. Of our population,
because they alone have gold and silver,
government and other bonds which they
can use as securities to organize banks.
1t would enable the rich to decrease or
increase the volume Of money at any
time at least to the extent Of $200, 0,00O,-
600. BY this elRsticity-as the author Of
the bill terms 1.-THE prices Of products
Of labor could be adjusted to suit rich
spectators. While products Of labor was
in the hands Of producers, the volume Of
money would be decreased so as to lower
prices; but when products passed into
the hands Of rich speculators, the vol
ume of money would be increased in
order TO secure higher prices from con-
sumerg.
Such has been the experience Of the
past. Does any intelligent person be-
lievs that so much power placed in the
hands OF the rich will make them less
exacting or more charitable to the poor
than they have been in the pastP When
the poor become rich they are generally
Rs selfish as others who were born rich.
Riches produce human sslfishness and
Unsuitable greed. AS society ia made up
Of "a per cent. Of poor people, it cannot
be too careful how it places power in the
hands Of 6 per cent. Of rich people who
compose the balance Of population. For
this and many other reasons Congress-
man and Banker Walkers house bill
10,04 will meet with general condem-
nation when it is carefully examined by
the masses OF Intelligent people.

"nOney, which is the root of all evil"
Vicious legislation has thus created an
sristocracY Of wealth perhaps more ex-
acting than a constitutional monarchy,
and we find ourselves to-day not divided
by thermal line, but a well-defined
one Of Rristocrscy and serfdom. We are
yet in representative government, and
by combined and determined effort we
can emRncipate ourselves by the ballot;
but it will require cohesive power only
acquired by our recognition Of existing
wrongs, and our willingness to put aside
trivial differences and determination to

Western democrats fondly hoped that
in Cleveland's administration there
would be a return to JefTersoniGn dem
ocracy; but this delusion is being rapidly
dispelled, and they are seriously asking
the question, "Where are we at" and
how shall we proceed to restore our gov
ernment to primitive democracy and put
it in the hands OF the peoplep
London and Wall street have as surely
captured the ruling democrat, as it did
the retired republicans, and it is only
question Of time for the common people
to become convinced that they are be-
trRyed; that Harrisonism and Cleveland
ism will alike be consigned to that
oblivion that their weakness or tresch-
cry has brought upon them; and the
plain people will arise in their majesty
and patriotism and restore the govern
ment to true democracy, no matter
what name the party may bear that
achieves this result. Therefore, let
populists, democrats and republicans
put aside minor differences and work to
dislodge legislation that has brought US
to the brink Of dissolution.
In saying this | do not wish to be un-
derstood as advocating . surrender Of
the principles Of the Peoples party.

Populists and sincere republicans (all

of Lost and Vanquished Virtue"
EDITOR ADVOCATE The republican
and democratic parties ara almost on an
absolute equality to-day. Their financial
policies are 80 near alike that the most
keen and calculating observer cannot tell
wherein they differ, and their pretended
discord in tariff legislation is all feint
-gimcrack, tomfoolery, legerdemain.
Like two old pendulums, they have Osci-
lated back and forth through the vale OF
mist and tears until the gathered rust
and dirt has brought them at last to the
same identical SWING. Let two ships OF
different make and tonnage sail out
across an unknown sea for forty years or
more, and held in check by wind and tide
and adverse waters; let there be con-
slant and unintermitted exchange of
passengers and freight, and they would,
in the end, float side by side, impelIed by
a common enemy, and moving towards
common goal. Even the citizens OF q
certain climate, though coming from Vari-
GUS foreign nations, and being Of differ
emit color and disposition, lose their
distinction in the course of time, become
less pronounced in their color, and result
at last in one nation that lives in hsr-
mOny, under one flag, accepting one code
of morals and ethics and one set of laws.
Political parties have their source and
hearing in the head and brain of man,
and they move according to well-defned
laws of human nature. Whenever cer-
tain ideas and innovations become def
mite and pronounced, and are not
absorbed and advocated by existing
parties, they form and shape themselves
into new political party whose existence
depends upon its strength and vitality;
just as a child coming into the world
measures swords with death and decay,
and, stepping down into the arena, wages
the conflict that determines its earthly
destiny, and the chances Of success are
always more or less auspiciouS, because
it is very difficult to thwRrt the efforts of
fresh strength and Vigor, and in the at
tempt to do so many old parties have
lost their lives and had their ashes scat
tered to the four winds by the countless
hands of fate.
While two score years or more is lit
tie longer than the average individual
life, still man may be Of sound mind
and firm tissue who has resisted for a
much longer period the corroding can
ker and gnawing tooth Of time; but il
flushed by success and exhausted in every
tissue by debauchery and dissipation, as
the republican party has been, it often
happens that the forces Of vitality flow
for while at their lowest ebb, until the
tspers of life are extinguished by some
sudden gust Of wind and the little
stream floats off into the darkness until
it loses itself smeng the bogs and fens Of
modification and decay. The republican
party was once quite perfect, almost as
refined and pleasing as silk and gold; but
springing out Of abolition alone, it's mis-
sion ended with the successful termins-
tion Of the war, and since then it has
only existed in the absence of something
better, as the clouds that follow storm,
the ripples on the sea.
