eve must see to it," say the
bankers, ''that the money question:
is kept in the back ground in the
next campaign, though we will
have much more difficulty in keep
ing it down from now on than
ever before. The country has
been flooded with a cheap class of
literature, such as the Political
Earthquake and Brice's Financial
Catechism, which fully disclose
our schemes; but cheap as they
are, we have succeeded so well I'M
getting complete control of the
money end commerce of the
country since the Democrats came
into power that they will be quite
out of the reach of many to buy
at any price. We can rely fully
upon the Democrats in the South
and the Republicans in the North
to keep up the fight over the tariff
a few years longer, aided by the
question of state rights, which we
have just recently introduced
through our faithful and trusted
servants, Grover Cleveland and
Gen. Onley, both in Mississippi
and Colorado. AS long as we can
keep the leading politicians and
newspapers busy discussing the
absiruse principles of states rights,
and the difference between tariff
for protection of home industries
and tariff Tor revenue only, so
long may we continue to fleece the
people. But we must look after
that second-class postage business
it is somewhat inimical to our
interest. The Porulists are doing
more to enlighten the people than

Rebates and Dignity.

The AtchisoD Topeka and San
Fee X. K. was one of the most
energetic and enthusiastic in.pros-
ecusing the A. R. u. for violation of
tho interstate commerce law. They
were great sticklers for the law
until it was found that they had
violated the same law to the extent
of unlawfully paying out $1,000
600 in rebates to favored shippers.
The Interstate commerce COM
mission have been furnished with
proof positive of the facts, the
penalty is a fine of $1,000 and two
years in the penitentiary for each
offense and now the commission
hesitate to proceed. To quote the
associate press:
Photographic fac SMILES were
obtained of two rebate vouchers
calling for the return of $1,000 to
two shippers who had patronized
the AtchisOn. In addition there
was obtained the affidavit of an en-
ployee who had received a large
amount of money in rebates for
his employer. The commissioners
declare they have all the proof

Kolbite Convention Call.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 2s.-
The chairman of the State execu-
tive committees of the Kolbite and
Populite parties to-day issued from
their headquarters here a call for a
joint convention to meet in Mont.
gOmery on Nov. II, 1894. The
call says:
1.-THE purpose Of the convention
is to consider what action should
be taken in regard to the mon
strOus election frauds that we're
perpetrated in the last August
election, end for other purposes"
1t is reported that the purpose
of the joint convention, in view of
the fact that it is called to meet the
day before the regular legislature
convenes, is to set up an opposition
legislature, and 60 through the
form Of declaring Kolb governor,
elect United States senator to-
succeed Senator Morgan, and ad-
journ.
The Kolbites are industriously
organizing so-called election leagues
all over Alabama and trouble is
feared when the convention meets,

TOBE SPILKINS,
Working Together.

There is a large percentage of
United States bonds that will be-
come due in the year 1907, and if
the bankers can influence congress
to prevent the free coinage of sill
yer, they (the bankers) can force
the payment of their bonds in gold,
and as they own the gold, the gov
ernment will have to borrow it and
issue more bonds for long term
of years, and by this means they
will he able to force another bank
charter. The record Of both old
parties have been in the interest of
national banks, and will continue
to be so as long as they held the
reigns of the government. We
get the conclusive evidence of the
first proposition from the record,
and we draw the other conclusion
from this fact, and the further fact
that none of the public speakers,
either Democrat or Republican,
have ever denounced the national
banking system, but have tried to
hide this infamy under the same
old tariff twaddle. The Peoples
party has a plank in its plat
form demanding the abolition of
national banks, and that the issue
and control of the circulating me-
dunn he placed in the hands of the
people which means the govern
ment, aud that a sufficient amount
be issued and put into circulation
to do the business of the country.
Now you can only get this by vo-
ting for the Peoples party. Keep
this in your mind.

A Jug Handle Debate.

The chairman of the Populist
campaign committee is indignant,
and properly so, because the chair
mer of the campaign committees
of fine two old parties in srrang-
ing for joint debates on issues of
the day obstinately refuses to let
the spokesmen of the new party
In. b N
There is a measure of justice in
the Populist protest against this
program. On the most vital poll
tical issue of the time the demo-
cratic and republican platforms in
Indiana are as like as peas in a
pod. Each tried to conceal their
thoughts in high sounding langu-
age, and succeeded admirably. If
either democratic or republican
politicians in Indiana have any
convictions on the silver question
their platform utterances do not
express it,. A debate between
them on the subject would be very
muck like a scholarly disquisition
on the difference 'twixt tweedle-
dunn and tweedledee. If free dis
