The SOUTH An1 wssr:

q Unson of tho Two Necessary I'd e-sarS
Proper Recognition from, tho NonSy
Power Of the East.
The last hope for any financial legis-
fation to the interest of the people dur
ing the Fifty-third congress has been
destroyed by the presidents veto of the
seigniorage bill -r-,ii r.
Nothing, since the EXTRA session OF
congress convened is so plain. than
that concentrated capital Of the east
absolutely controls both tile republican, II
and democratic parties. The latter has
abandoned the interest of the south
and the former those of the west
For more than twenty years the
democrasis party of the south has
tried to secure fsvorab bile Legislation
Tor that section by forming nm alliance
with the east, but she has always been
deceived, because the interests of the
two sectors are diametrically opposed
to each other. ReEin, for more than
| twenty years the republican party of
the west has also been striving TO se-
cure favorable legislation for that seq
ti6n by following their party leaders of
the east, and those states have also
been deceived, because tho interests Of
the east and west antagonize each
other. The east and south, and the
east and west are drifting farther
apart, while the south and west are
drifting closer together.
The new political alignment which
is rapidly forging its way to the front
win unite those sections of our country
whose interests are identical, which
means that the south and west must
| unite at the ballot box. Self preserva-
tion will force them to take this step;
and that party which will bring to-
gether is destined to shape legislation
for the next quarter of century.
The great issues which can unite
these sections are the free and unlimit-
I'd coinage of both gold and silver at
the ratio Of 16 to 1, all the paper money
needed in addition thereto to be issued
by the government, without the inter-
vention of banks. and made full legal
tender, and the control and national
ization of all natural monopolies
The question who shall issue and
control the volume of money is para
mount to all others. Shall this be
done by the banks and for the banks,
or by the people and for the people
who are to use it?
Before the people of the south and
west can secure favorable legislation
for their sections, they must abandon
the two old parties and organize to
unite at the ballot box In order to
do that the south must step out Of the
democratic party and meet the west
half way, and the west must step out
of the republican party and meet the
south half way. This is no surrender,
but an honorab BILE concession by each.
This is common grouhd upon which
both can stand, and will bring them
into the peoples party. Upon all the
great economic questions which are
now before the people, the republican
and democratic parties represent the
''money trust" of the east, while the
peoples party represents the toiling
millions of all sections, and particu-
larly the interests of the south and
west The people have come to the
parting of the road; they must either
join the peoples party for an Amer
lean inancial system. or forever be-
come the serfs and vassals of a foreign
money trust H. E. TAUBENECk
