OLD PARTIES ARRAIGNED.
Truths That Should Be Kept Before
the People.

Truths That Should Be Kept Before
the People.
From the National Platform Of the Prohioi-
ton Party.
We arraign the Repu blican and Dem
ocratic parties as false to the standards
reared by their founders; as faithiess
TO the principles of the illustr'ous lead
ers of the past to whom they do hon.
age with the lips; as recreant to the
''hipher law" which is as infleNible IN
political affairs as in personal life; and
as no longer embodying the aspirations
of the American people or inviting the
confidence of enlightened, progressive
patriotism.
Their protest against the admission
of ''rr oral issues" into politics Is con-
fession of their own moral degeneracy'
The declaration Of an eminent au-
thority that municipal misrule is tho
one conspicuous failure OF American
politics" follows as natural consc-
ouence of such degeneracy, and is true
alike of cities under Republican and
Democratic control.
Each accuses the other of extrava-
gance In congressional appropriations
and both are alike guilty.
Each protests when out OF power
against the infraction of the civil-service
laws, and each ia power violates those
laws in letter and spirit
Each processes fealty to the interests
of the toiling masses, but both covertly
truckle to the money power in their
administration of public affairs.
Even the tariff issue as represented
in the Democratic Mills and the Repub-
lican Mckinley bill is no longer treated
by them as IN issue upon great ana
divergent principles Of government,
but is mere catering to different sec
tional and class interests
The attempt in many states to wrest
the Australian ballot system from its
true purpose and to so deform it as to
render it extremely difficult for new
parties to exercise the rights of suffrage
is an outrage upon popular govern
ment.
The competition of both parties for
the vote OF the slums and their assldu-
GUS counting of the liquor power ana
subserviency to the money power has
resulted in placing those powers IN the
position Of practical arbiters OF the
destinies Of the nation.
We renew our protest against these
perilous tendencies and invite all
citizens to join us in the upbuildlng
of a party that has shown in five ma
tional campaigns that it prefers tenn
porary defeat to an abandonment OF
the claims of justice, sobriety, personal
rights and the protection OF American
homes.

VANCE'S VIEWS.

Senator Vance has made public an
open letter which he has written to the
Farmers Alliance. Vance says he is
pleased with the action of the Alliance
in urging Senators and Representa-
tives to stand by the present silver
purchasing law until some satisfactory
substitute is adopted. He says years
ago he urged upon farmers the impor-
lance of such an organization as
would enable them to make their vast
but disjointed strength felt promptly
and efficiently in legislation, and that
the preservation of silver in the cur
rency is vital issue. He declares
that the use of silver and gold. on
equal terms. as the basis of currency
is necessity, and asserts his determi-
nation to yield nothing to the mono
metallists who have created the panic
so industriously advertised; and which
will hereafter be known as the rich
mans panic" In conclusion he says
the hope of ingratiating himself with
the President to secure patronage has
not affected him, nor does he believe
it will operate far in the repeal of the
Sherman law.

4 GoId-Bug Argument That Proves Too


\ silver producer digs out of the
earth I12is grains of silver and asks
that he be permitted to take it to the
United States mint and have it coined
at public eXpenseinto a dollar.
The wheat producer by his labor
makes the earth produce wheat, bu
shell OF which il worth about the same
as the silver in a silver dollar. This
wheat is generally represented in com
MERGE 10y warehouse receipts showing
that the commodity is in existence and
is available on demand on the surren-
der of certificate.
Why should the silver producer
have his product stamped of value
over 40 per cent. higher than its com
mercial value, while the wheat growers
product remains unaltered? Before the
silver is coined the 4l215 grains will
buy bushel of wheat. After it is coin
ed it will buy bushel and half of
wheat.
If the theory of the silver producers
is right. would it not be equally just
to stamp warehouse certificates of
wheat in store illegal tenders" at the
rate of 81 for each bushel of wheat
they represent? Yet what honest far
mer would make such u demand?-
Chicago Record.
If the above gold bug argument
proves any thing, it proves too much.
As matter of abstract fairness and
justice, why should the government
discriminate in favor of gold as the ba-
sis of legal tenders and shut out both
silver and wheat? Why coin free for
the gold mine owner and taboo the sill
yer mine owner? The logical answer to
these questions is that free gold coin
age must cease, or silver coinage must
be adopted.

Men of very ordinary intelligence
can understand that the gentle rain of
heaven which falls upon their house
tops, finds its way into an adjacent
branch or creek, thence into some riy-
err into which the smaller stream emp
ties, and that it flows on and ultimate
ly mingles with the waters of the sea;
but there are some smart men who
can't comprehend that vote placed
by them in ballot box for the candi-
dates of a whisky party has anything
whatever to do with contributing to
the perpetuation of the on-sweeping
liquor traffic with its dangers and
whirlpools of destruction, awaiting
both the souls and bodies of men.
They say they don't understand it.
Strange, isn't it?

1t is good time, however, for reflec-

forth they will turn their backs on
both the old parties and cast their flu

The silver dollar is worth as

it contains sixty or hundred
cents. If anyone doubts this, let
him make a practical demonstra

We thought for several years of our
life that when parties opened a bank,
they put their own money in it. but it
seems of late years that whenever a
bank breaks, all the money it was do
ing business on was the property of
many people who had nothing at all TO
do with the business. Well, the peo-
pie are surely kind to the officers of
the bank, in that they pile their money
in there without any security, and
give the dishonesty inclined bank Off
cial chance to get away with it when
ever he takes notion. OF late they
are taking the notion rather frequent

Monopoly is monster with count

is equally avaricious and insatiate.
Give it an inch and it will take your
all; and, having neither a conscience
to point its moral for it nor any bow
els of compassion to restrain its appe-
tite, it is alike destitute of integrity
and humanity. Throughout the ages
it has told the world the same old
story of oppression and wrong. giving
the glory of everything to Mammon,
