The Washington correspondent of
the Rocky Mountain News interview
ed Chairman Taubeneck Of the ma
tional Peoples party committee at
Washington day before yesterday and
asked him what he thought OF the
financial position OF Mr.. Cleveland as
recently forshadowed. Mr.. Taube-
neck said:
~The Cleveland administration is
going to force the financial issue on
the lines mapped out by the bankers
association at Baltimore. This means
the retirement and destruction of the
legal tender notes now in circulation
and the withdrawal and cancellation
OF coin notes OF every description. 1t
signifies the utter demonstration of
silver and silver representation in our
currency and the intrenchment every
where Of the single gold standard.
l do not believe any such scheme can
pass the present congress, but at the
Fifty fourth congress the Republicans
from the East and South In both
branches will support the Cleveland
policy. All hope for silver depends
on the Populists to prevent the pas
sage of new banking act formulated
to the taste Of the banks and money
centers. Assuming that such will be
the financial policy of the Cleveland
administration, then the Peoples
party must accept the challenge and
make the money question the sole is
sue for the future. We must lift the
gold standard gauntlet and take the
other side
"ln this connection permit me to say
that l regret deeply that the Peoples
party has been honeycombed and
undermined by all sorts of schemes,
fancies and distractions. But for this
unfortunate condition, the Peoples
party would have largely triumphei
at the late election, but by rainbow
Echasing and endless freaks and foibles
we drove thousands upon thousands
who are with us heart and soul on the
money issue, into the ranks of the op.
position. I.would like the Peoples
party to get down to single PROPOSE
ton, namely to the money question
and strip it of all else. No socialism
nor anarchism, indeed no 'isns' of any
nature or side issues, nothing but the
fight for bimetallasm against the
single gold standard, for silver hand
in hand with gold as money metal
with equal currency power. This is
tho true issue, and should be made the
particular test Of party fealty. It is
the vital question nearest and dearest
to the hearts Of the people and ap
tpeals for maintenance and assertion
to the masses. In fact there is nc
other question and can be no Other
question worth the mention before the
= country until it shall be adjusted
: equitably, as between the debtor anG
creditor classes. The gold power il
strangling the people and sooner o.
= later it must meet tie strangers fate
l The Peoples party must confine it,
efforts to this cause and this alone
else it can never free itself from the
r clutches Of the gold standard oligar
| chy, which now makes merry over the
. piebald and motley attire which man.
of our P pulists leaders have permit

Peoples party strips itself Of all othe
\ questions save the money issue, that
, and that alone. then the managers o

Then the stations themselves have
general inspector, who is stationed at
New York. Each district has super
intendent, who is responsible to the
general chief for the efficiency OF his
station. Next come the stations which
are in charge of keepers, each OF whom
must be an expert in boat craft, besides
knowing all about surfing and how TO
take charge of wrecking operation.
Seven able surfman constitute the crew
at zach OF the stations. They are paid
az the rate of $50 month-not great
sum when they are compelled TO risk
their lives perhaps dozen times dur
ing thirty days. They patrol the coast
all the time and on stormy nights their
vigilance must be doubled,
Without the night patrol the coast
guard would be Of little use. The
patrol stations are divided into four
watches of TWO men each. At sunset
they leave the station and separate,
going to right aud left until they meet
the patrol of other stations. The pa
trolmen exchange suitably inscribed
checks, which is proof That their WORK
has bsen performed. Having done this

goes his red Coston light, which tells
the imperiled crew that they have been
sighted. In a trice the wrecking crew
appears the on the scene with the lie
saving apparatus. The lifeboat is always
used when the sea is within bounds
though this is the most dangerous form
of rescue. II the sea is too much for tho
boat and its crew, a line is attached TO
a cylindrical shot, and the Lyle gun
sends it. across the wreck. Those on
board the laundering ship seize the
line and pull aboard a rope. which they
make fast to the mast. The hauling
line also provides them with hawser.
The shore end Of the hawser passes
over an upright crotch secured by al
anchor, and over this bridge the life
car moves back and forth until all have
been saved.

UNCLE SANS
LIFE GUARDS.
OUR BRAVE COAST GUARD AND HOW IT
OPERATES.

The story of Uncle Sans life-saving
service is one OF OF thrilling interest for
every boy and girl.
You may have read or heard OF the
loss OF the two great emigrant. ships
which, not very many years ago, were
driven upon the Jersey coast by the
fury OF a storm. In one OF the unfor-
tunate vessels were 400 persons who
persisted, and in ths other 800 went
down. We had no coast guard then.
Between Sa-dy Hook and Little Egg
Harbor rcI "a line OF deadly reefs.
1t we a veritable death ground to
storIl-struck vessels. Congress at last
realized this, and built eight life-saying
stations along the coast. That was in
lS41. Two years later Uncle Sam took
$50 600 from his pocket and put up
stations on Long Island, between Mon
tauk Point and Coney Island. Pleased
with his work, be tried again, and dis
tributed liieboats along the coast Of the
Southern States, and by and by the lit
tie houses of the life savers arose on cur
lake shores.
This was good work so far as IL went
but it was not enough. Tho station
had no regular crews. The work OF
rescue was left to the rough and I'M
couth people who dweit in the neigh
borhood of the stations. Some Of these
people meant well enough, but they
were tinctured with a certain lawless-
ness which meant harm. They permit
ted the stations to fall into decay, so
that when wrecks occurred no assis-
tance could be rendered because the
life lines, buoys and even the boat had
been stolen. This'would never do, One
night the ship Powhattan went down
of the Jersey coast aud 300 lives were
lost, because of the failure OF our life
saving system.
The long wished-for change came az
last, and Uncle Sans coast guard as il
exists to-day was organized. Ia 1860
the Hon, ). ). Cox, the father OF our
lile-saving service, came to the rescue.
Once more Uncle sam, listening 10 Mr..
Cox and some others, opened his purse
and took OUT 200, coo for the service.
Sumner l. Kimbal was placed at the
head Of the service, and he went TO
work with will. He discovered a ter

had rendered some Of the stations unfit
for service and shot lines and rockets

drowned. Mr.. Kmball built new sta

inefficient crews, The new crews were

Kimball was the right man in the right

of our life-saving service has been 10
creased until it seems 10 have reached
perfection. The whole Of the Atlantic
coast is now patroiled by crews OF ex-
perienaed men, and our lake shores are
under tie same surveillance. The coast
