all that was expected from each person. but
very few limited their donation to that guam

Another Populist Senator.

The Nebraska Populists have fought
great fight and won great victory
in the election of Hon w. V. Allen to
succeed A. S. Paddock in the United
States senate. Judge Allen has been
pronounced and enthusiastic Popu-
list since the first organization of the
party in 1890. His record as a deter
mined anti-monopolist antedates the
Populist party by at least twelve
years At that time he was a citizen
of Iowa, and made the race for con-
gress as an anti-monopolist. Since
that date, while he has inclined more
toward the Republican than the
Democratic party, he has really been.
at all times, Independent in politics.

Each Depends ON the other

The low price of grain is every
where demoralizing business. Col
lections are harder than last year.
The cutting down of the prices is
everywhere cutting off the farmers
margin of profit, and even his means
OF existence, and leaves the multitude
upon whom the retail dealers depend
for trade, without means to purchase
the common necessities of life. This
exasperating condition, on the heels
OF q big crop. ought to open the eyes
OF the merchants to the necessitv of
an immediate reform in our monetary
system. The volume of money is in
adequate for the demands of the
country, and while the first crushing
effect of this scarcity of currency is
upon the producers, it will Just as
surely destroy the retailers also, and
leave all business to be done by great
syndicates and trusts. The mer-
chants are dependent upon the farm
ers. Destroy the prosperity of the
farming community and our stores
will be speedily closed. -Southern

The Power OF Government.

When Thomas jefferson said 1.-The
government which governs least is
best" he necessarily had in mind the
only forms OF government of which
the world at that date had had any
experience, namely the royal and
aristocratic forms. and as applied to
them the saying was quite true 1t
requires no argument to prove that
the less men are tyrannized over by
selfish despots the better.
When however the people govern
themselves for their own interests, to
say that the less governing they do
the better. is equivalent to declaring
that the less attention people give to
their own affairs the more prosperous
they will be.
We beg our correspondent and all
other good people who have allowed
their minds to be fuddled by the mis-
use OF this maxim about government,
to bear in mind that the question is
not whether they shall be more or
less governed but who shall do the.
governing, for they have got to be
governed by somebody anyhow. The
economic system of country, COM
mercial and industrial, upon which
we all depend tenfold more completely
than upon the so-called political
government, is complex and
elaborate system which requires a
deal OF governing. It has got to be
governed by somebody and will be
governed in the interest of those who
are allowed to govern it. At present
it is being governed by a set of
moneyed oligarchs, who are fast re-
ducing the people to the condition Of
"hewers of wood and drawers of
water. Shall this system continue
or shall we overthrow our tyrants
and establish in industry as we'll as
in politics government of the peo-
pie, for the people, by the peoplep
Could anything be more Demo-
cratic than this? -New Nation.

Dollars Versus Men.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Indianapolis dated February Z, made
Division Superintendent Bennett of the
Pennsylvania railroad deny that the
recent orders sent along the line of
that road to refuse freight, was issued
IN anticipation of a strike. He, how
over, said that the Pennsylvania was
hever in better condition to meet a
strike, adding rather significantly:
'.You take silver dollar and lay it
on shelf for a year and you still
have silver dollar. But you lay a
man on shelf for a year and he be-
comes a skeleton. That is the solu-
ton Of the capital and labor problem. y
A very cold blooded solution, but it
were useless to deny that there is
enough OF truth to make it we'll
worth bordering over. The overseer's
whip and the legal right of corporate
punishment which his owner had,
never held the chattel slave in
such complete bondage as the
wage slaves of the Industrial system
are held in. Capital can wait while
It, with absolute certainty, starves
It's slaves into submission. There
were but two ways of escape for the
shattel slaves, armed insurrection or
In abolition of slavery by con-
Stitutional means. True there are
those who believe that by making
The masters humane and kind through
religious and moral teaching, and the
slaves .docile and content with
their lot by the same means, chattel
slavery might be made tolerable; and
there are those who talk of making
capitalists and laborers humane and
just on the one side, and content and
profitably Industrious on the other.
by preaching and moralizing to them
| and at them But these tender
hearted Or soft headed people were
wrong, as every one now knows,
about the slavery question; and the
people with similar qualities of head
and heart who have succeeded them
are equally wrong about the indus
trial system. The wage slaves have
one advantage over the chattel slaves.
or they would have one advantage
had they the courage, the intelli-
gence and manliness to use it. The
chattel slaves could not themselves
take steps to constitutionally abolish
chattel slavery, but the wage slaves
can if they will and dare constitutions
ally put an end to wage slavery

Capitai.

What is capitalp As the term is
ordinarily used, it is money. BUT
money is only small part Of capital
The farm is capital. Live stock ia
capital. Health, character and mus
Gle are capital; and all these have
rights and equal rights. Money has
rights, if it is honestly earned
Among certain classes the right to
accumulate is denied. Surplus, &
held by the party producing 1t, is re-
garded as treason to the race. For
tunately but comparatively few hold
to this indefensible doctrine II the
farmer grows hundred bushels Of
potatoes more than he needs for HE
own consumption he has the right 80
compensation for those potatoes,
if anybody else wants them,
for they are the products OF
his own labor. If he sells them
and receives money for them, that
money stands in place of the pota-
toes, and if any body wants the money
the possessor has the right to charge
a reasonable sum for it's use. The
claim made by some that capital
produces nothing and is not entitled
to share of the products of an in
dustry in which it is employed is the
sheerest rot If that doctrine were
recognized in practice, the man who
had no potatoes to plant in the
spring would have the right to de-
mand potatoes of his neighbor, whose
labor had produced potatoes. But if
a man would have no right thus to
demand the free use of his neighbours
surplus potatoes, what shadow of
right has he to demand the free use
of money for which the potatoes have
been sold?
1t is detrimental to the cause of
reform to deny the right of capital.
1t is not the legitimate right of cap
ital that is giving us trouble. It is
the abuse of that right that gives us
concern. Men are possessed of cap
ital and large amounts of capital who
never had any potatoes or anything
else to sell. They simply robbed 9TH
er people of it. and there they sit,
like Shylock whetting his knife, to
demand their pound of flesh of any
body who puts his labor against their
capital. Honestly earned capital,
when employed in business in which
wage workers Or other producers
are engaged, is representa-
tive of labor and deserves an
equitable share of the fruits
of the enterprise 1t is as if the far
mer rented his farm on shares, the
farm having been developed by the
owners toll. But capital usually
represents nothing but impudence
and robbery. 1t is gathered by
the Goulds and Vanderbilts as the
pick-pocket gathers money from the
pockets of his victims. 1t is accumu-
lated by money-loaning sharks, by the
gamblers on Wall street, by the man
ayers of our transportation lin, S, by
the trusts and the com bines, and then
it goes into partnership with the
lamb. Capital is all right if it is hon
est capital. 1t is thief and Az out
