Popuiists' Future.
The Populists, in view of the revul-
sion OF feeling which gave Il great
triumph to the Democracy at the last
national election, are next in order of
promotion by the people. What the
Democracy will lose will go to the
POpulists, for in discomfort and dis
tress the third party always prospers.

1t should he noted that the ballot
was offered merely IS an object lesson
in the new scheme of voting on the
proportional representation plan and
without offering any definite issue, ex-
cept the free coinage of silver, to the
voters. On that issue the result was
| still more significant, standing as fol-
lows:

Rupublicans who now denounce the

bonds" and train stealers" worship as
heroes the originators of the under
ground railroad and opponents of the
fugitive slave law. Those who rebel
against unjust laws are always "trai-
tors" Mt the time and "patriots" after
wards if successful. The party which
gained all it's glory advocating what it
called higher law" should not bs SO
flip in denouncing Coxeyism.
The Finances Safe.
Sherman says the finances OF the
country are just as safe in the hands of
Cleveland and Carlisle as in those of
the Republicans. We think so to-!
Both of them are worthless guardians,
and ut the present rate it wont be long
before they can turn undertakers and
bury the old flag and with it the COM
mon hopes of all the laboring people.

The Difference.
When Grant was President, his sal
arv was $4,000, which would buy
1000 bales of cotton, or $4,000 bush
els of wheat. Cleveland's salary is
the same, but by his financial policy,
his salary will buy 1,666s bales of cot
ton, or 100000 bushels of wheat.
Then good laborer could get $50
per day. Now he cannot get a job at
any price for his labor.
