The Plot ThiCkenS.

EDITOR ADVOCATE: - Every time q
Populist speaker or paper calls attention
to some conspiracy or con cert Of action
upon the part Of the monied men Of the
nation, against the interests Of the peo-
pie, it is laughed down. For months
past Populist speakers and papers have
warned the people that the next step Of
monisd oligarchy after securing the de-
monetizstion Of silver, was to destroy the
greenbsck currency now furnished to
the people by the government, issue more
bonds and monopolizs in the national
banks the function Of issuing currency.
This has been denied and laughed at.
It's truth, however, is shown by the fol-
lowing: The Chicago Record Of Septem-
ber 16, in speaking Of the banquet ten
dered to the comptroller Of the currency,
Mr.. Eckles, by the bankers Of Chicago,
said: "Ex Senator Farwell, who has al
ways been Q close student of finance,
northumberland he has suggested this
before-that the money now locked up
and idle in the United States treasury"
meaning the gold reserve for redemp-
tion Of greenbacks, SHOULD be placed in
the banks where it might be used by the
people" Mr.. FarWell also expressed the
belief that the greenbsck currency
should be retired and its place supplied
by national bank notes. Here are two
propositions Of conspiracy.
First-LOot the treasury Of the re-

OF the money power of this country, and
they depend upon the blind, ignorant,
party prejudice of the voters of this
country to permit them to accomplish
this money slavery Of the people. Why
should We continue to allow our govern
ment to sbdicats to these banks and to
these millionaires the functions that it
should exercise itself!
God grant that the voters may realize
and avert their danger before it is en-
tirely too late. B. d. CRAWFORD,

lima, Alabama and Georgia would vote

by this mail q copy Of the Daily Consti-
tuition, by far the ablest journal in the
south, and it has carried on an uncess-
ing war against unconstitutional repeal
Of the Sherman act, and in favor Of free
coinage, and other pledges Of the Chi
cago platform. It has gone to the very
verge Of party lines, and no one would
be surprised to see it kick entirely out at
any time. There is very little respect
felt by it or the people for the grand old
party Of the south, and / have been
frequently told by democrats that il it
were not for the race question they would
leave it.
"But what will the harvest be? It will
greatly depend upon the wisdom with
which the Peoples party ls conducted,
both in the south and west. The times
seem ripe for political revolution, if not
retarded by unwise action and unwise
proposals. The trouble with Peoples
movements heretofore has been in the
attempt to incorporate too many issues
and planks in their platform, thus con-
Rusing the public mind and driving many
away who were really ripe for revolt
The leading plank, as it seems to me,
should be free coinage, with favorable
expression towards the election of sens-
tors by the people, postal savings banks,
and the issuing Of all currency by the
government. We don't want state banks
OF issue, nor money loaned by the gov
ernment on non-perishsble products;
such. q scheme is nonsense and impraC-
ticable. Free coinage and postal savings
banks would solve the financial difficulty,
with nothing but government notes. IL
we had had the postal bank, the present
BsringenCy would have been impossible,
deposits secure, and money ready on call,
flowing freely through all the channels
of business. The government could thus
even loan money to the people, but it
would be unnecessary, as with their de-
posits always secure and always ready,
the people would be their own bankers
aud loan or use their money at pleasure,
without giving a sixty-dsy notice. The
present was q bankers panic, and the
bankers should be forever deprived Of the
chance to cause Rnother--snd the postal
bank system would 80 deprive them"

Remarks by Senator Stewart.

O'Clock with Mr.. Stewards srrsignment
Of President Cleveland for alleged VIOLA
tion OF the constitution in seeking to in
fuenCe the legislative department Of the
government. He spoke Of his rssolu-
tion of Saturday, which declared that
Independence of coordinate branches
OF the government must be maintained
and use of the power and influence Of
one department to control the action of
another is in violation Of the constitu-
ton and destructive Of our policy and
form Of government"
Mr.. Stewart then resumed his speech.
He began by reference to tie laying Of
the corner stone Of the capitol and the
recent centennial anniversary of that
event. On the latter occasion, he said,
the president of the United States,
armed with more than 100000 high paid,
desirable federal offices to bestow, with
the veto power designed only for extra
ordinary occasions, backed by concen-
trated capital and hsttered by venRl
press, turned his face toward the senate
wing Of the capitol and in angry and
menRcing tones said that il the repre-
sentRtiVes there assembled legislsted in
prejudice or passion or in behalf Of
sectional interests the time when the
cornerstone was laid and the circum-
stances surrounding 1t would not be
worth concentrating.
In open disregard OF his oath Of Office
to execute the laws, Mr.. Stewart said
the president had permitted the secre-
taFy OF the treasury to violate the act
which made the purchase of 4, 4,25O,OO0
ounces Of silver bullion per month man.
datory by exercising an unlawful discre-
tion in purchasing a smaller amount,
He undertook to say that at no time
since the revolution Of Charles ], in either
Engl and or in the United States, had
any king or president openly and def
Rntly disobeyed statute which he him
self declared was mandatory, or allowed
his subordinstes over which he had
control to do the same thing. Was it
not time to sound the alarm? If consti-
tutionsl liberty was of any value it
seemed to him that all friends and foes
should stand up and say to the presi-
dent Of the United States: "You have
Overstepped the mark; we cannot afford
to have the laws Of congress or any
question disregsrded."
Mr.. Stewart said the president of the
United States had no exalted opinion Of
the senate or house. He then read from
letter written by the president accept
ing an invitation to attend the centen-
nial celebration of Williams college, in
which he said he soon expected to shave
a session Of congress on his hands"
"a session Of congress on my hands,"
repeated Mr.. Stewart in simulated SER
iousness. 'Thst remark spoke volumes
in interpreting how the president re-
garded the coordinate branches of the
government. Would man who fully
appreciated the responsibility OF his
Office even by accident make the remark
congress would bs on his hands? Con-
gress had assembled as an Independent
branch Of the govern nent and was on

fancy in standing off the government. II
it is correct theory that the govern
ment can and ought to place it's reserve
funds with the banks, to be loaned by
the banks tO the people, to the profit Of
the banks, why would it not be equally
q correct theory and much better for the
people, for the government TO loan these
funds direct to the people, on the same
security the banks take and let the profit
on the loans 60 into the peoples treasury
Second-The second proposition Of
conspiracy is to destroy the peoples
greenbsck and let the national banks
supply it's place by their notes, which
the government kindly furnishes to said
banks for nothing. Let the conspiracy
already on, to unconditionslly repeal the
Sherman law, succeed, then the next
step is to take away all legal tender
quality of silver now coined. Then the
conspiracy is ripe for issuing more bonds,
the destruction of the greenbscks and
shackling the people in monopoly's
fetters to q national bank currency.
Are the American voters q set Of lick
spittle hounds and slaves to let these
successive conspirscies succeed, or have
they the sense, the nerve and the man
hood to rise up in their might before il
Is everlastingly too late, and grind these
soulless conspirstors into impslpsble
dust?
Oh, ye slavesl ye foolsll When in
your apathy you have allowed these con-
spirscies to succeed, and you feel the
iron hand Of these pirates robbing you
of your life's blood, don't dare to cry out
and ask for mercy. You have been
warned. You see these disasters coming,
They are even upon you now, and you
lick the hand that smites you, and call it
blessed. You say it is good and you
want more Of it. II it could be 80
arranged that only you and yours should
feel the blasting effects Of the apathy Of
voters that permits such robberles Of the
people it might serve retributive justice
to see the screws put to you until your
throats were too dry to cry out for mercy,
but for some insoru table reason it can
not be so arranged.
We can, therefore,only appeal to you to
wake up, to study these questions, listen
to what these conspirstors say and COM
prehend what they mean. Rscollect that
this man Farwell was an Illinois United
States senator. That he was barely de-
feated for q reelection and is now schem-
ing to be- again returned. That he is q
millionaire several times over. That like
almost all such men he thinks that the
only proper function of the common peo-
pie is to serve him and to make him
still richer. That not content with the

the southern states, travelling most Of
the time and making his headquarters
at Charleston, Savannah and Atlanta,
(Ga) We copy only that part OF the
letter which answers certain inquiries
concerning the political situation. The
remainder Of it refers to private business
matters, and also speaks in complimen-
tary terms of Gov. Lewelling, Of whom
the writer seems to be an earnest politi-
cal admirsr:
"You inquire as to the status Of affairs
in Georgia and the south. It is not an
easy thing to intelligently define, but
these statements are certainly correct,
to-Wit: Alabama, Georgia, North Caro-
lima (snd probably other states) were viz
tually lost to the democratic party last
year, and were only saved to it, prsc-
tiCally, by the fear Of the force bill, the
fear Of negro domination, and by the
most persistent assurances that the party
would re.establish the free coinage Of
silver, etc., and even with these assur-
auces it is probable that Alabama would
have elected (or did elsct) the Peoples
ticket, but for fragrant abuses Of the
franchise, and the same is true as to
many parts Of Georgia, in which there
was undeniabls and wholesale frauds
committed. In all Of the states named,
the old party leaders were thoroughly
alarmed, and made such efforts 90 were
never made before, in order to hold the
