The POpulists and the Railroads.


If the populists of the Kansas are
consistent, they will join in the gen.
eral thanksgiving over the failure of
the Atchinson railway system. They
have cOntended all along that their
poverty was due to the prosperity of
the railroads, and it follows that if
the Atchison is bankrupt the popu-
lists of Kansas. where the road has
an enormous mileage, will soon be
rich.-Minneapolis Tribune.
The populists are the friends of the
railroads. They would fight to de-
fend them. They know better than
any one else that this vast interior
region Of the continent would not be
habitable without railroads. The
man who digs hole in the ground to
get away from the cyclones does not
therefore want to abolish the air.
We are fighting not the uses of the
railroads but their abuses. We are
the very best friends of the men
who really put honest money into
the construction of the roads; by try
ing to shut off the fellows who are
robing the people to pay interest on
capital which never was invested in
the roads, and never had any real ex-
istence.
We are opposed to the pooling" of
rates which prevents competition, and
is kept up to pay interest on this bo
gus capital, by overcharging the peo-
pie for freight-on all they buy and
all they sell. We would be glad to
see every railroad in the United
States in the hands of the receivers.
The roads would remain; they could
not be destroyed; but the barnacles
would be scraped off them; the real
capital invested would be in better
shape; and hundreds of millions of
dollars would be annually left in the
hands of the producers, which now
go to pay interest on bogus, watered
stock.
OF course this does not suit
the country newspaper editors,
some of whom would sell
mankind for a railroad pass:
nor does it suit the owners of
that bogus stock; nor the great
dailies which have no conscience but
a bank account. But it would suit
the people.

SEVEN FINANCIAL CONSPIRACIES
Continued from second page.

his little ones the inheritance of lib
erty; and if not impelled by love Of
country, the government did not hest
tate to use it's prerogative of draft
ing into the service But did it
draft money? No. 1t must not in
terfere with the sacred rights of
property" Human life must be
sacrificed for it's protection, but prop
erty was inviolable.
During the latter part of the war
the government paid the soldier SIG
per month in greenbacks for risking
his life on the battle field; with this
he could purchase just SIG in govern
ment bonds. But the government
paid Shylock in gold for risking his
credit, and for sixteen dollars in gold,
during the month of July, 1864, he
could purchase 1880 in government
bonds. The question now arises,
how much did the government actu-
ally pay the soldier, and how much
is still due him? Morally, and 1 be-
lieve legally, our government is to-
day under greater financial obliga-
tions to the soldier than it is to the
bond holder. Who will dare to say
that human life is less sacred than
capital? Or that every greenback
dollar paid the soldier was not re-
deemed by his service-perhaps his
life? Is there quality in redemption
that asks a higher price than agony
and blood?
President Cleveland has been
greatly censured for vetoing private
pension bills, but how many of those
who condemn him uphold the action
Of the government that perpetrated
this wholesale robbery upon the SOL
dier? And how many of them voted
against General Weaver's bill for
making up to the soldiers the differ
ence between gold and the depreciat-
ed currency in which they were paid?
1t is folly to claim that the war and
business could not have been carried
on without Shylock's gold. We have
already shown that the government
after issuing it's own 'money-the
greenback-had no need of gold, I'M
til, through strategy, the exception
clause was placed on the greenback,
and placed there for no other pur-
pose than that of creating demand
for the gold boarded by the money
kings Of the country.
During the past few years, several
states have made large appropria
tions for the erection of soldiers
homes. Doubtless to many this
seems very benefcent act on the
part of the government, but is it
beneficence when the robber restores
a part of his illgotten gains to the
man he has victimized? Had the in
terests of the soldier been as careful
ly guarded during the war as were
the interests of the money monger,
there is no doubt but that man who
today languish in these institutions
would be comfortable and happy in
homes of their own, Independent of
either public or private charity.

WAsHIHd TON, D. c., March Tho
Democratic mOmbers Of tho senate COM
mitteo on finance find 1t necessary to
take at least ono moro day 10 consider
tho tariff bill before presenting it to the
full committee. They had been worry
anxious to complete tho bill yesterday,
so as to bo able to lay before tho full
committee tomorrow, and they did not
relax their purpose until tho last mo-
mont before completing their work yes
terday, but they found that it had been
necessary TO give so much timo to the
senators who wanted TO te heard on tho
various schedules that they had COM
paratively very little time for consulta-
ton. Consequently they were unable
to send tho bill to the printer last night,
and thoy postponed this until to-mor-
row, whom they promise to complete
tho bill III time to have it printed for
presentation on Tuesday IN orning.
While some OF tho schedules OF the
bill have been agreed to for the timo
being by thccommitteo. tho work is not
considered finally concluded upon any
OF thom and important changes arc lia-
bic to be mado to the last moment be-
fore the meeting OF the full committee.
For this reason members OF the COM
mittee decline absolutely to give out
any Of the rates. Thoy also refusc 10
confirm any figures published and while
they do not say that tho rate OF 40 cents
per ton on iron ORC and coal nre erroae-
Gus, they assert that whatever figures
they may agree to. even on those arti-
cles, are stll subject to change, and
that as it is with those articles, SO it is
with the entire list.
The contest between the members OF
the committee and the dscontented
element has been very sharp. Senators
Hill, German, Brice, White, Caffrey
and Smith. and possibly two or three
others. constitute q very compact or
ganization, and they constitute an inAu-
ence which the committee is finding it
difficult to resist. These senators have
been in constant consultation. Still,
members oil the committee do not be-
lieve that the opposition OF the sena-
tors will 20 to the extent OF opposing
the bill by their votes.
Sugar is still, rs it has been from the
start, tho most disturbing element with
which the committee has been called
upon to deal, and there is far greater
trouble in fixing n rate satisfactory to
the redners than to the planters.
Tho Republican members OF the COM
mittee have not changed their purpose
OF asking for an explanation in COM
mittee OF the changes made and they
will insist upon explicit and compro-
hensive statements. Senator MorreIl
has reiterated his purpose to the end
within the past day or two, and
other Republicans of tho set finance
committee will sustain him in his posi-
tion. II the Democratic members COM
ply, as it is supposed they will in
measure, it is probable that como time
will be consumed. so that even though
the bill be presented to tho full COM
mittco on Tuesday, it cannot bo def
nitely stated just when it will be re-
ported to the senate. The Democratic
members are pledged, however, to get it
in at the earliest practicable moment.

CHICAGO, March 4.-Another attempt
to destroy the Worlds Fair buildings
by fire was made to-day and proved in
efectual only because OF tho timely ap-
pearance OF Columbian guard who
turned in an alarm. The fire broke out
at 4:30 this afternoon in the station
house just south OF tho terminal station
and within fifty feet OF tho machinery
hall, and but for the timely interference
the three buildings would probably
have been destroyed. 1t is the supposI-
ton that the fire was OF incendiary ori-
gin. The police have arrested Michael
Murphy who was on the ground at the
time and was unable to give reason

the military, cussing. aud abursing
them rs they pass, and even throwing
coal and other missiles at them, but no
outbreaks will occur ut tho Eagle mines,
while the troops are here. As soon as
they are taken away, however, there is

FRrES DsHIP EXPLAINED.

The attitude Of the authorities OF
Montgomery towards tho miners is very
friendly and this friendship is easily
explained. The Montgomerys own
the town. 1t is built on their land, the
stores and saloons arc nearly all owned
by them and large portion Of tho pop
ulation 10 composed OF operatives at the
surrounding mines who live in tho
houses owned by the Montgomerys.
Ono OF the Montgomery brothers is
mayor and from personal motives he
cannot feel anxious to SEQ the rioters
harshly dealt with. He is interested in
business thero and it is to his interest
and the interests OF his family to keep
on good terms with them. Whether
-he is using efforts to prevent arrests be-
ing made or not, it is certain that he
has not, and probably will not, make
any attempt to aid the authorities. The
telegrans say he is opp osing them.
How far or il openly is not known.
