and Congressman Reed have gone to
bed together. There is no difference
now. The lion and the lamb are enjoy

the lion of monopoly will swallow the
lamb of principle, making both parties

be one and the same and the common

For twenty years we have been Won

10 to 1 or Nothing.

The silly talk about changing the
ratio from 16 to to something higher
ought to be discountenanced by every
Populist. Let it be 16 to or nothing.
If the money power is so firmly en-
trenched as to be able to virtually de-
stroy silver, against the wishes of nine
out of every ten voters in the country,
let it be so, and by the time the regu-
lar session convenes there will such
demand for the demonstration of
gold as will astonish the shylocks. AL
ready millions are asking why a treas.
ury note made legal tender, backed by
the wealth of the country, and issued
by the government, would not be the
best money in the world. This Iloney
question will never be settled rightly
till the shylock idea Of redemption is
gotten rid of. AS long as the people
can be blinded by the fallacy that
money must be redeemed tit is redeem
ed every time it is accepted for taxes,
labor or food just so long will the gold
owning Jews rule the world.-Alliance

"Tramps."


The army of Migrants which is set
ting upon this community ought to be
put to work. So long as we have no
workhouse the streets must afford them
employment, and just now there is
ample room for improvement in many
of our thoroughfares. If compulsory
labor were in sight the tramps would
probably give Omaha q wider berth

BY what right or by what authority
would the editor of the Bee put the
men to work? Is it crime to be I'M
able to find work? Then, it such is the
case, why not 60 to the fountain head
and punish those that caused this lack
of work? The Bee is Republican pa

"tramps,' made SO by the unjust legis-

those that are bowling about compul-
sorry labor If they desire compulsory

apply to all, rich and poor alike? Will

Andrew Jackson opposed depositing
the public money in United States
banks Cleveland deposited over Vs.
100000 with the national banks free OF
interest. That's Democracy for YOU
Beatrice Tribune, Neb.
Andrew Jackson, Thomas JefersoRp
and every patriot that ever found a
home in the Democratic party, was bit
terly opposed to the monstrOsity OF 3
national private-corporation control OF
money. They taught the straight Pop
ulist doctrine that the government
should be it's own banker-that to give
to individuals the power to compel
every dollar to be borrowed in order to
exist was robbery. That was Jeder-
sonianism, now Populism.
The Democrats begged for complete
control in order to free the people OF
the $SOO,OOO,OOO tariff tax, levied upon
one class to support another. Now,
having complete control, they beg, first,
an opportunity to destroy the only
money not under bank-cOntrOl; and
second, to be permitted to ignore the
tariff. The Mckinley bill is not to be
disturbed.
