The Populists advocate the doctrine
| that in addition to gold and silver
coinage-free and unlimited at the old
and time hOnOred ratio of sixteen to
One-paper currency should be issued,
but by the general government. They
want no partnership arrangement with
national banks. which institutions have
the power to bring crisis ana reap
rich harvest on the poverty and suffer
ings Of the people whenever they
choose and they choose to do so very
frequently. AS matters now stand the
only possibility of relief and return
to prosperity is through the new party.
There is now no place in either Of the
old parties on which to hang the small
est, feeblest kind of hope. They are
becoming more and more the enemies
of the people and live now and have
their being in and through old PERU
dices and by the help of the creditor
classes, who like buZZards, thrive and
fatten ON the general decay.-IdahO

The men who are at the head of the
Populist party were the leaders of the
GreenDack party fifteen years ago. and
although the issues upon which the
Greenback party sprung into existence
are dead, and the fallacy of its princi-
pies exposed long ago, yet the men who
were at the head of the movement
still cherish the same old ideas, and are
only waiting for an opportunity to
force their ideas upon the people in the
shape of laws. They have grown
wiser with time, and realize that upon
fair and square issue before the peo-
pie they would stand no chance for sue
cess with their peculiar monetary no.
tons, so they conceal for the time be-
ing, their real object and attempt to
ride into power by advocating the free
coinage of silver; but should they by
any train of unfortunate circumstances
obtain control Of the legislative and
executive departments of this govern

an era of radicalism as the country has
never before seen and would never
want to see again.-Lemhi Republic.
While Mr.. Neil was yesterday rid !
ing his safety on the sidewalk fronting
Barrett Williams block on Jefferson |
avenue he run down little child and |
himself and wheel were thrown into |
a tangled mass from which he had |
difficulty in extricasing himself. The |
child made pretense of getting out of |
the way. but that was only blind, for |
with hellishness that was remarkable |
in one SO young he collided with the |
wheelman and threw him. That the
unfortunate man was not seriously in
jured was miracle Whether he can
recover damages from the city for per-
hitting the sidewalk to be used by
children, or have the internal child pun
ished for attempting to kill him, the |
Democrat is not prepared to state.
There is consolation in the fact that |
the child got the worst of the encOun-
ter, however, but unfortunately the in
jury received was confined to one of |
it's ears, which was probably twisted by
the spokes of the wheels which it tried
to but off the walk with it's head. The |
ear was badly swollen.
This is the second time that the life
OF Mr.. Neil, while peaceably riding the
sidewalk with his safety, has been at
tan fn1 INV of fhncn

be furnished no reasonable excuse

The tariff question is one that can
not be ignored. 1t is like eating and
sleeping. AS we have to eat and sleep
right along, so must the tariff be con-
sidered right along.
The demand for the free coinage of
silver is only demand that the white
metal be protected. Silver is not pro-
tected now, hence it is the sport of the
capitalists of the world. 1t being to
their interest to depress it now, it is of
so little value that it does not pay to
produce.
1t is so with wheat, and every other
product that is not protected When
an article is not protected by the coun
try where the bulk Of it is produced,
the price invariably falls below the
cost of production, because the billions
of poems, serfs, slaves, pariahs and pau
pers in the world can produce it much
cheaper than reasonably well paid
workers.
There are nearly one billion Asiatics
who can be got to work in their own
country for two to five cents per day.
With the improved machines in use
these Asiatics could do nearly as good
work as the most intelligent of us.
Under free trade the products of that
work could be sold here, and this cOun-
try thus stocked for 20 or 30 years
ahead, in less than two years after we
would have proclaimed free trade.
The result would be that every man
in this country who has any money
would live like lord" while every
man, woman and child compelled to
work for living could barely secure1
the poorest necessaries of life.-W God
