Alabama

The campaign in Alabama is now on.
Conventions have been held recently at
which all differences among the reform
ers were harmonized, and united and
determined effort will be made to re-
deem the state from its present disgrace
full condition. An excellent state ticket
has been nominated upon thorough re
form platform, and contest for rule
of the people upon lines of popular self
government is already inaugurated. We
have SO far refrained from taking any
part in the matter, believing it wise to
wait until the details had been arranged
by the state conventions. Such action
has been taken, and now the contest in
Alabama is as much ours as that of any
citizen of that state, and we shall aid
in eIecting Mr.. Kolb governor to the
full extent of our ability. This is ma
tional contest now and is no longer con-
fined to the limits of the state of Alaba-
ma. AS such every reformer and every
reform newspaper should become inter-
ested and assist our people in that state
in every way possible. IT this state can
be captured, the solid south is broken,
and the reign of the present Bourbon
Democracy will be ended. This can be
done if united and determined effort
is made both inside and outside the
state. Let the fight begin at once

They Are Frightened,

My, my, how the newspapers repre-
senting the money power-that is, the
tax eaters-are frightened! The Phila-
delphia Telegraph in column editorial
admits that the Populist movement is
gaining strength every day and says the
lines of the coming contest are being
rapidly drawn as between the eastern
manufacturing states and the south and
west. The above paper tentatively adj
mits that third party success is by no
means an imp1obability. Then in an
other column it commends the Populist
national committee for advising con-
gressmen not to vote for the Wilson bill
if the deficiency created is to be made
up by bond issues. However, this jour
nal, like most OF the plutocratlc eastern
press, is afraid the world or the repuE-
lie would come to an end if the income
tax bill is passed and some of the rich
exploiters forced to pay unto Caesar
those things that are Caesar 's-that is,
the unearned increment. Pass the in
come tax bill and the Bland coinage
bill, or you will never get another
chance to control the government, Dem
ts.-Journal of Knights of Labor.

Free Coinage the Only Hope.

The most thoughtful economists and
the wisest statesmen in Europe, among
the Europeans in the far east and among
Americans. unite in the opinion that
this wave of industrial and commercial
depression is the direct result of mon
etary disturbances. The attempt of the
creditor class of the world, of England
particularly, to force the adoption of
the single gold standard-in a word, the
movement to make gold the sole money
Of ultimate payment-has brought
about the disturbances and distress
which we are now witnessing. The alb
rogation of the free coinage of silver
has left gold as the only money metal
in the true sense. This has contracted
the metallic money of the world to such
an extent as to depress prices and fright
en- the commercial and producing
classes.
There will be no permanent revival
until the money question is settled,
and we seriously and earnestly believe
that there can be no settlement of the
question which will be effective short
of the return Of the bimetallic monetary
system. That can only be accomplished
by the restoration Of free coinage.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

POpulistS In the Next Congress-.

"Shal you increase your mem bership
in the next house?'' was asked of Con-
gresham Simpson.
Every largely. expect to see IS OF
40 more Populists in the next house
than there are in this. We are making
steady inroads on both of the old par
ties. If Republican become dissatis-
fed, he doesn't 60 over to the Demo-
Gratis. He comes to US. This is true of
our western Republicans If southern
Democrat gets out of sympathy with
his party, he will not 60 to the extreme
of joining the Republicans. He will
pitch his tent in our camp. So say
we are steadily drawing from both sides
and at the same time holding our peo-
ple''
"Where do you expect to make your
gains?"
I'm the west and south. That is de-
batable ground always. We don't ex-
pect to do much in the east. We are
strengthening our organizations in the
west before coming east. [ think we
shall hold the balance of power in the
next house. That will be an important
consideration. because, in my opinion
the next house will elect the next presi-
dent, for | don't think either the Repub-
ican or the Democratic candidate will
be able to secure clear majority of all

Oregon Sure For the POpulists.


More than two-thirds of the Demo
Gratis of Oregon, rather than bow sub
missively at the throne of egotisln. have
renounced the administration. One wear
ago, flushed with victory, strongly OF
gained and confident of success in the
next state election, the Democracy OF
Oregon was in better condition than
ever before in its history and only need
ed judicious action by the administra-
tion to make this state strongly Demo
cratic. Today, without proper organi-
cation, without able leaders and with
out hope of success at the polls, the
Democrats of this state are hanging
around the Populist camp, endeavoring
to pick up few miserable offices.
Clevelandism is the cause of this
change. The opposition to the Repub-
hcans is greater in this state than ever
before, but this opposition centers in
the Populist and not in the Democratic
party. The indications now are that the
Populist ticket will sweep the field in
the June elections, and that Pennoye1
will succeed Dolph in the senate. Con-
trary to the opinion Of those who are
not familiar with his career, Pennoyer
is a conservative and able statesman.
This his opponents admit. AS poll
tician he has scarcely an equal on the
Pacific coast. Twice elected governor
in Republican state, he is now the
most formidable candidate for the
United States senate. Especial in New
York Sun.

Colorado Still POpulist.

"My candid opinion is that it will be
no easy task to recover Colorado for the
Republican party said I. N. Stevens
of Denver, prosecuting attorney for
Arapahoe county, last evening.
''The Populists have very firm hold
on the people of the state. Pence and
Bell, the Populist representatives IN
congress. have given good satisfaction.
They will be candidates for reelection.
If the Republican party desires to sue
coed, it will have to put the very best
men forward.
Mr.. Stevens has taken very promi-
nent part in Colorado politics. His pol
itics are Republican, and therefore his
statement Of the strength of the Popu-
list vote is not to be underestimate.
In speaking of Governor Waite, al
though not agreeing with him in many
things, Mr.. Stevens gives Colorado's ex-
ecutive the credit Of being an honest
man, man Of convictions, who is not
ashamed to stand by what he believes
to be right. Francisco Chronicle.

Keeling to a Crisis.

Guatemala today and other silver
countries tomorrow. Default with most
of them is a question of time. The
world 8 commerce is Keeling to crisis,
yet the mischief from the appreciation
Of gold has only begun. Bimetallism
in England is gaining converts. It is
understood that Mr.. Lidderda!e, ex-
governor of the Bank of England, is a
strong advocate of an international
agreement for joint standard. BIZ
metallism is no longer the creed of a
handful of cranks. Nearly every econ
omist of eminence is on it's side. The
international conference must be re-
opened. France, Germany and the
United States are anxious that this
should be done. Surely our interests
are as great as theirs. If in our pride,
as the gold mart of the world, we stand
aside, the punishment will fall upon
our own heads. 1t depends upon the
British cabinet whether the conference
be fruitless or not.-London Financial

ic demonstration that grasshopper soup

ton. If Morton had lived in the days

eight million people own the rest.
At the rate we are going on about

8ostOn's imetallists.

The New York Post Saturday editori-
ally asks the most respectable" Boston
blmetallic committee. Do you think it
wise for men of your weight in the
financial world to advocate views at this
crisis which will confirm the socialist
and Populist and anarchist belief that
governments can make money out of
anything they please?"
General F. A. Waller of the commit
tee, in column and a half in the Boston
Globe of Monday, shows the strength of
the bimetallic sentiment the world
around and says. "A selfish, shadow.
supercilious gold recommendation is in

is liable at any time to be driven from

money in the treasury, and Cleveland
gave about $5e, 600. 900 of it in premi-
ums to the bondholders for the precious
privilege of paying bonds not due. Now
there is deficit of money, and he gives

For the immediate present the nation

are now below expenditures. Until we
can cut those expenditures down to a
reasonable businesslike basis there will
be deficiency in revenues. This is the
inevitable outcome of past reckless
financiering. The deficiency can be
made up, and justly, by a graduated
income tax. Let the unearned incre
ment' pay it's share. Make the corpo-
rations that live and prosper by virtue
of charters granted by public favor pay
their due share of the public expense.
Let accumulated capital, piled up not
by the enterprise and labor of it's hold
ers, but by the mere inertia of accumu-
latlng, almost compromising, interest,
pay its share too. The tax can be levied
and collected. 1t was, even under great
