The incident shows how New York is
having its financial prestige taken away.
Before many years Chicago, which is an
American city and not a foreign city like
New York will be the money power as
well as the metropolis of the republic.
New York is about as big as it will ever
be. although consolidation with neigh
boring cities may give it fictitious
growth The main object of westernerS
at present is to wrest from the east its
undue influence in national affairs. We
mean to have the next presidential can
didates from the west We think the
Old parties are about on their last legs.
And depend upon it, congress will not
repeal the Sherman law until a substi-
tute equally favorable to silver men is
found and adopted.
1T is my firm belief that our national
prosperity is bound up in the destruction
of New York citys dangerous power in
the country. The people there care more
for the beauties of the Alps than for the
grandeur of the Rockies They form an
aristOcracy with dangerous influence.
Thus it is that the east and the west
have been steadily drifting apart for
years"
"What will be the outcome of all this?1
compromise. The east will find itself
obliged to come down from its high horse.
Then the honest, patriotic people on both
sides will put their heads together and do
what is best. We populists pelieve that
the real people of the east want simply
justice and have no wish to in1ure the
west. After all we are Americans, every
one. Unfortunately capitalistic influence

New York, and through New York
al over the Atlantic seaboard. There
The people have a most superficial ac-
national economy. The nonsensical falla-
cies about gold and silver now believed
out east prove that 1t is different where
l came from. People know what they
are talking about. l could take you to an
old farmer in my county who has not
worn an overcoat for twenty years. That
man possesses one of the finest private Ii
braries on political economy in the coun-
try. He is a deep student of the subject,
and is typical in his thirst for knowledge
of our people.
Altogether think New Workers. and
the east generally will be taught many
surprising things by the west before this
extra session ends"
PARADE OF THE UNEMPLOYED.
One reason for the projected street
procession here of men out of work is
dread of the influx into New York of
Chicago's unemployed. New York work
