Issuance of Gold Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Feb 14.-The Populist
members of the Senate and House whose
names are attached, besides the others
whose signatures are given, have issued the
following address:
To the Members Of the Peoples Party, Greetings:
AS early as 1866 conspiracy was entered
into between the gold gamblers of Europe and
America to accomplish the following pur-
poses:
To fasten upon the people of the United
states the burdens of perpetual debt; to de-
sfroy the greenbacks which brought US safely
through the perils of war; to strike down silver
as money metal; to deny TO the people the use
ofFederal paper, the two independent sources of
money supply guaranteed by the constitution; /;
to tasten upon the country the single gold stand
ard OF Great Britain and to delegate to thous-
ands OF banking corporations organized for
private gain the sovereign control for all time
over the issue and value OF all supplemental
paper currency,
Thus they doubled the demands for gold,
forced upon the country an appreciating money
standard entailing an indefinite period of fall
ing prices; robbed enterprise of its just profits,
condemned labor to idleness and confiscated
the property of debtors.
have kept the President quarreling over less
important matters, while they have pursued
with unrelenting zeal their own central pur
pose Al the present moment every device
or treachery, every resource of statecraft
and every artifce known to the secret
cabals OF the international gold ring are being
made use OF to deal final death blow to the
prosperity OF the country They seek to ac-
compllsh their purpose before the blow can be

been long matured, and their line is fully
chosen.
They addressed themselves to the one SUBJ
ject-the money question-in all OF its breadth
and magnitude. This brings the country face
TO lace with perilous issue which calls for i'm
mediate and united action on the part of the
people. Every behest of patriotism requires
that we shall at once meet the issue and accept
the challenge so defantly offered.
To falter now is to invite disastrous failure
We earnestly urge the Populists throughout
the country to concentrate their entire force
and energy upon the tremendous contention
presented, and thus meet the enemy upon his
chosen line OF battle.
Invite the aid and cooperation of all persons
who favor the immediate free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l, the issue of all paper
money by the General Government without
the intervention of banks of issue, aud who
are opposed to the issue of interest bearing
Government bonds in time of peace.
In word, to extend the hand of fellowship
to all who agree with you upon the money
question, which is certainly the mightiest and
most fundamental controversy evolved during
the present century.

POSTPONED IN THE SENATE.
STATESMEN IN No HURRY TO ACT
ON THE BOND ISSUE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-When the Senate
met to-day the high tension of the finan.
cial situation was clearly evident from the
animated groups of Senators who discussed
the subject. A rumor soon gained circula'
ton that a suggestion had been made that
a resolution be passed directing and advis,
ing the executive branch of the Govern
ment to cancel the contract with the
bankers for the sale of $62, 100000 bonds
With the several financial bills on the cal
endar and on the table, it was felt that
decisive action one way or the other was
not far off.
Platt (R.) of Connecticut presented g
petition, and gave dramatic details con
cerning barbarous executions in the Choc
taw territory. He said the facts, if known
would shock the civilized world, as they
presented barbarities unparalleled in this
country. The petition urged that law be
passed giving an appeal to the Indian
courts Platt said the time had been
reached when such law was imperative
in order to end the shocking condition o.
affairs.
A favorable report was made by a special
committee allowing $115OO0 to the widows
and children of those killed at the Ford
Theater in Washington.
Long (R.) of Massachusetts offered q
resolution, which was agreed to, asking the
Secretary of the Treasury for information
as to the returns from the distilled spirits
and what reduction would occur from the
prospective close of distilleries.
Call Cd of Florida then brought forward
his irrepressible resolution for Senate in.

Blackburn sought to cut it off by moving
to refer it to the Committee on Privileges

debate for time, during which Morgan
CD of Alabama sharply criticized the
course of Call, who, Morgan said, was seek
ing to take the advice and assistance o.
politicians anxious to thrust Fedora

Blackburn then moved to take up the

chase and maintenance by the Government
of all postal cars.
The presiding officer intervened at this
point to present the response OF Secretary
Carlisle to the comprehensive resolution
presented by German for information as
to the condition of the treasury. Its elab-
crate detail of figures was followed with
close attention by German, Cockrell and
Allison, although 1t was too statistical to
to engage general attention. Before its
reading ended German proposed that 1t
would be desirable to have it in pamphlet
form ready for use tomorrow, and this was
agreed to.

TESTING THE INCOME TAX.
Broker Moore's 4ctiOn 41gWed IN tn,
Court of AppedIs.

Broker MoOre's Action 4Fgtsed in the
Court of appeals.
WASHINGTON, Feb, 14.-The case of John
6. Moore the New York broker, who in
stituted suit against the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue to test the constitu-
tionality of the income tax came up on
appeal before the District Court of Appeals
to-day. The points discussed in the hear
ing were mainly reiterations of those raised
in the Equity Court several weeks ago.
The lower court had erred, it was claimed,
in holding the act imposing the tax was
constitutional; that the double taxation as
in the case of the complainant was lawful
and that he income tax was an indirect
tax, though not apportioned among the
several States as provided by taxation.
Ex-senator Edmunds of Vermont who
made the argument for Mr.. Moore sought
to show that the tax was a direct one, and
that even if it were an indirect tax it was
not levied constitutionally, in that it makes
an arbitrary distinction between classes of
individuals, and therefore lacks uniform
ity. He also upheld the legal right of the
petitioner to bring the suit in its present
form.
Assistant AttOrney-General w hltney
held that there was no ground for the
equitable proceedings in the case, and re-
iterated his former contentious as to the
constitutionality of the act He wanted,
he said, to correct a general mistaken i'm
preston about the tax. The $4,000 limita-
ton, he declared, does not apply to corpo-
rations, and the tax applies to their net
profits not to dividends
Mr.. Edmunds made short closing ar
gument, and the court took the case under
advisement.

BOILS.

A boil may be compared to the choking
of the mouth of sewer. When the sweat
glands refuse to carry off the impurities of
the blood, the refuse matter decomposes
and chokes the glands, causing an infam-
nation, swelling, pain, heat, resulting in
boils or carbuncles. You need never have
these boils, you will never have these car
buncles if your system has been cleansed
with the "Home Remedy" Joys Vegeta-
BILE Sarsaparilla. Read the myriads of tes-
timonials sent by the good people of Cali
fornia praising the "Home Remedy" ="

EDWIN w. JOY Co.: You may add my
name as testifying to the merits of joys
Vegetable Sarsaparilla for biliousness and
the accompanying headaches. l am by
nature bilious, and the ordinary remedies
at best only relieve it for the time, but since
taking "Joy's Sarsaparilla" / find that it
not only at once relieves, but removes the
cause of these troubles, so that can truly
say it is cure for them.

NERVES.

Nerves are like babies. They must be
fed. You cannot nourish sick baby until
you have removed the cause of sickness.
You cannot feed the nerves until you have
pure blood, active stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla
feeds the nerves directly and indirectly.
1t removes the cause, and thereby cures
the evil.

we discovered a narrow strip of dry and
comparatively smooth ground along the
