POINTS FOR THE PEOPLE

Reason and common sense is now
In hot pursuit of errors long promul-
gated by old party teachers
There is no more use for gold re-
deemer for our currency than there Is
for an umbrella in a reign of silence.
Make up your mind to vote for men
whom you know to be honest and in
sympathy with the poorer classes The
moneyed classes and the subsidizers of
the press will always elect enough to
look after the rich.
The scarcity of money everywhere
makes liquidation slow. This stringent
condition is largely the result of con-
spiracy upon the part of the banks. 1t
is about time to establish a new bank
ing system, one in which the ''conspir-
acy" feature is eliminated. Road
The ballot is all that is left the
masses with which to protect them
selves. The enemies of the common
welfare know that if the farmers or
ganiZe, discuss and learn the facts,
that enough honest men will be elected
to overthrow the money power.-Jour-
nal of Agriculture.
The repeal of the Sherman law
makes our financial system more than
ever before like that of Great Britain,
and is another step in the process of
reducing people who work to the con-
dition of dependence from which so
many have fled in migrating from that
country to this.-kansas Farmer.

Only few months ago the bottom
fell out of Australia. A few weeks ago
silver was demonetized in India by
order of England. Now India is in the
throes of panic that will ruin mill
lions The rate of interest has ubled,
and the government itself is unable to
pay its current expenses. The demone-
tizatiOn of silver in America means the
same thing.-Raleigh IN. c. Progress

The ole thing is in Cleveland's
hands now. Before the repeal bill was
passed congress could hold to the silver
purchase law or get something better,
whether Cleveland said yes or nay.
Now it will take a two-thirds vote of
both houses to secure anything, and
this two-thirds vote cannot be OBJ
tanned. We believe the people under
stand the situation and will excuse no
senator or representative for voting for
unconditional repeal for the reason
that he would vote for free silver on a
separate ,ilL-Missouri World.
The New York Evening World uses
the following strong language regard
ing the working people: ITO reduce
wages is to cripple the farmers mar
ket for his products, while to reduce
the price which the farmers receive for
their products is to cripple the market
for the products of Industrial labor.
The prosperity of the one means the
prosperity of the other, and therefore
it is natural that they should move
hand in hand for the social reforms
now demanded. Excessive rent is eat
ing the life out of the business men and
laborer wherever civilization extends.
The percentage of our people living in
tenement houses is yearly increasing.
The mortgage foreclosures are daily
wrenching from hard working. honest
farmers the homes in which they were
