been signed. 1t gave us s55,OOO.0 900 of
money needed for increased popula-
tiOn, and needed to pay our running
expenses. The second section provid-
ed for the issue Of silver or silver GER
tiflcates in place of treasury notes re-
deemed. But while the public good
required that it should become a law.
the veto may really do more perma-
nent good, by arousing the people to
a realization of the influence exerted
by the money classes over the legis-
latiOn. Mr.. Cleveland has repudi-
ated the Democratic platform and
diSregarded the wishes of those who
elected him. The states which gave
Mr.. Cleveland 200 out Of his 276 elec.
toral votes (more than two.thirdS'
cast only six votes in the house and
senate against the seignorage bill
Now the question arises, which is the
Democratic party, Mr.. Cleveland, OF
those who elected him?"
The states south Of the Potomac
and west of the Mississippi cast foul
Democratic votes against the bill
while not single vote was cast fol
the bill by New England, New Jersey
Maryland and Delaware, and only
four by New York and Pennsylvania
Mr.. Cleveland has Joined himself Il
the east and to the Republican states
1t only remains for the south anC
west to repudiate his financial policy
and join together to restore the golC
and silver coinage of the constitu
tiOn.
'The really vital point in the veto
message was the declaration thai
note holders must have the right tt
demand gold and that we must ISSUE
bonds and buy gold whenever the re
serve gets low. As long as the note
holders can demand gold, those who
want bonds issued can raid the treas
ury at will. If gold and silver are
both standard money the secretary
should use the option and protect the
government.

HUDSON, OF KANSAS.
1T sounds like the last notes Ot
the funeral bell of the Democratic
party, which is today more solidly
bourbon, as demonstrated by recent
votes in congress, than the Demo
cratic party is. Behind these two
old parties stands the great body o.
the laboring and producing classes Of
the United States vainly pleading fol
recognition. Let it be recorded that
the fiat has gone forth that new
and aggressive party, born of the peo
pie, putting the interest of the peo
pie before the interest of bOndhOlder!
and combines, will come to the front
There is bright future for the Peo
pies party if it stands firm by the in
tereSts Of labor. The laboring anG
producing classes will all get tOgeth
er, and joined will make one great
pOpulOus party which will cOntro
this government in the interest o
the common people. The PRESIDENT
proposition to compromise on bond
exhibits total misunderstanding O
the temper and demand Of the Amer
lean people.
No party can or ought to survive
the issue Of bonds at this time. w,
have a full legal right to pay on
debts and the running expenses O
the government with paper and silve
money and nobody wants bonds eS
cept few great money lenders"

are in greater glee than such a gloom
action would seem to warrant. The,
are better pleased than even the mel
doing business on Wall street. The
think that this will awake the pee
pie to realization of the fact tha
the money power dictates the polio,
of government. and that immediat
action Of the American common pee
pie is necessary to dethrone the tyr
amy Of capital.
