THE MASK TORN OFF.

just before going to press we re
ceived the following letter from Gen.
Weaver, giving his idea of the Vor-
bees bill. 1t states the case ably and
accurately:
ERIE, Pa, Aug. II, 1898.
EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER:-The
Voorhees, bill now pending in the Sen
ate, to grant to national banks cur
rency equal to the face value Of the
bonds, completely discloses the animus
underlying Wall streets opposition to
the Bland act, the Sherman act and
the free coinage of silver. They con
tend in one breath that the free coin
age of silver or the issue Of legal tender
coin notes to purchase silver bullion
will ruin the country and bankrupt
the people, but that the issue of ma
tiOnal bank notes redeemahle in any
kind of lawful money will restore
prosperity and avert calamity! Is it
possible that an intelligent people shall
longer fail to understand what is going
on in the councils of the money kings9
With either the Bland act or the Sher-
man act in force, the banks a only
partially control the volume of the
money. With free coinage they real,
ize that their control over the volume
is forever gone. The people will then
have an independent source Of supply
and control the profits of their own
toll. Hence the great question of
civilization: who shall control the vol.
ume Of our money-the people or the
banks-is now the uppermost question
Of the hour.
In every calamity the money power
steps in and demands new concessions
and new grants of power. They have
purposely brought on present ~distresses
that they may wrench from a suffering
people another pound of flesh to be cut
from near the heart Of the nation.
It is about time that the people
should step in and demand recognition
and compel our lawmakers to obey
the Constitution which places the CON
troll Of our circulating medium in the
hands Of Congress. The Constitution
has expressly taken away from the
State and from individuals the power
to issue or create money. What right
has Congress to return that power to
those from whom the fundamental law
has taken it?
By their great haste to secure auth r
ity to issue their notes at par value Of
the bond, they have openly conceded
the necessity for a material increase in
the volume of our money; and the Sec
rotary of the Treasury in approving
the Voorhees, bill, has certified to the
overshadowing necessity for the in
crease. But neither the banks nor the
Secretary are willing that the people
shall be relieved unless they will con
sent that their government shall first
issue the money and then bestow it
upon the banks a gift. People must
then go to the banks, the dispensers Of
sovereign favor, and borrow their own
money at high rates of interest. The
banks are willing that the money shall
be inflated, provided they alone shall
profit by the initiation. Let the people
rise as one ma against this threatened
iniquity. J. B WEAVER.

The New York Herald says 'there
ould be no Democrats nor Republi
ms in this Congress-" meaning that
partyism should be laid aside. There
lots Of truth in that, but Wall street
II not allow it.
Congress is cussing and discussing,
meeting and adjourning, resolving and
w~hereforeing, just as it has done for
twenty years. No measure Of relief
has been offered worth the name, so
far, that is likely to become a law.
A wicked, but witty Populist at
Winfield, Kansas, has suggested that
the Woman's Republican Club recently
organized there is for the purpose Of
taking in washing to help pay cam
paign expenses. Maybe they intend to
wash the party.
Reader, do not be deceived. If free
coinage did not mean more, better and
cheaper money the money power would
not fight the measure for years as they
have done and are doing. Let us have
free coinage at the ratio Of Is to 1
without compromise.
The New York Herald kept a stand

ing the Sherman act. It has recently
made a discovery and says that the
act is mot the only cause of the present
financial depression" Of course not

Bro. H. B. Bagwell, Of St. Mary's

This was the finest lot of melons ever
before brought to this market.

This fungus has fastened itself on the
brains OF some OF our people. It must be
eliminated, to use a mild word. The
only way to do it is for all Americans to
register. The TRIBUNE Will soon publish

vicinity with their parentage and nation.

some regard for equal rights must qualify

his shallow head: "Put none but Ameri-

REGISTRATION AND POLL TAX.

Notwithstanding all that has been writ
ten about the duty Of registration, and in
explanation OF the necessity OF those who
do not pay a real estate or personal prop
erty tax to register every year, there are
some who do not vet fully understand the
matter. Some people think II they do
not reg they are not obliged to pay
poll tax. In answer 10 this we say that a
person who does not pay poll tax,
though assessed against him, can vote.
The payment o. the tax aud the right To
vote have no connection whatsoever.
Registration Is absolutely necessary for
the person who pays neither real estate
or personal property tax. should you pay
the tsx an not register you cannot vote,
hut II you register, although you do not
pay the tax, you can vote.
Every person who needs TO gister in
order to vote should attend 10 that duty
at onIe. Two important elections will be
held In Rhode Island next year. One
Will determine the choice OF State gov
ornment and, through the General As
sembly, the choice Of a United States
Senator; and tho other will determine the
choice Of two members Of the House of
representatives. In view OF the public
conditions then sure Ia exist, every per-
son who can qualify to vote should attend
to that qualifying at once.
The place to rgister is at the city Clerks
Office on High street and the time is to-
day and tomorrow. After that it Will be
too late. The Office will be open both even
ings. Let every Democrat, therefore, pro-
tect his rights by registering without de
