POLITICAL POINTERS.

By Paul Fontaine.
A report from Alabama says that re-
markable corruption of state officials has
been exposed. State frauds have been
committed. The treasury was looted by
Bourbon Democrats. State expenses
doubled within 20 years and nearly finan-
cially wrecked. No wonder the Peoples
party is rapidly getting control Of the
state. It is an absolute necessity.
The Iowa Populsts and the Probibi-
tionists have adopted Is to l free silver
platforms. And there are some people
who want the Democratic party to follow
In their footsteps.
Tom Watson, Of the Peoples party pa
per Of Atlanta, Ca, asks the qupestiop:
Do you know why the money power IL 80
anxious to have the greenbacks retired?
They are not only legal tender and alb
solute money under the decision q the
courts, but they can be used to pay gold
contracts, as has time ana again been
decided. Let's have more greenbaoks
Politics in Indiana. Free silver feeling
strong. The Populists Of that state will
endeavor to cut something of a figure in
the state campaign of 1895. A call for a
state conference to meet at Indianapolis
on September End, to WHICH all editors, Of
reform papers and Populists are invited.
Oh what system Of fnancieriug the
plutocrats headed by Grover IL giving u.s.
Bondage slavery that should be repudi-
ated. Our people are too patient.
but the sad day Of reckoning Is now near
at hand. 1t Is expected in Wall street
that within week the original bond syn
dicate, which sold $500 900 ounces Of gold
to the government for about SOS, 900 900
bonds, will make payment of 60 per cent
to the second syndicate Of banks and
bankers, who furnished one-half Of the
gold, Of about $32 5000
Tom Watson says that Party loyalty
has cost the South greater losses than the
war or the emancipation of her negro
slaves. 1t now threatens the enslavement
Of her whites as we'll as her blacks The
money power of the East, through Cleve-
land and Democracy Is welding fnan-
cial chain more CALLING than the letters
which bound the negro slave. Once riv-
eted your children and grand children will
cry in vain for an Abe Lincoln to break
them
Every Peoples party man should read
.@Ten Men of Money Island" and Casca
St. Johns Gold Facts" sold by The Rep
resentative: Hugo Preyer, chairman Of
the Peoples party of Ohio says: Il must
say that Cold Facts is the best, most
comprehensive, yet concise work on
money, and history Of United States finan-
cial legislation that l have ever read It
gives not only details, but refers to vol
ume and page for every statement, some
thing which is of incalculable value to all
those who desire to arrive at the truth.
I congratulate you, and heartily endorse
the book; and when our campaign opens
in August, will no doubt order literally for
distribution in our state.
The fact has leaked out that the SUI
preme court judges had bitter and dis
graceful personal quarrel over the income
tax decision. But it must be admitted
that they told the truth about each other,
so far as can be learned Harlan called
Field "a purchased tool Of corporate
wealth." and Field called Harlan "a ID
demagogue." That both were truthful
there can be no doubt. One Judge called
another "a chucklehead," and that Is
term that might be truthfully applied to
each of them. If we could only know
what the others said of each other, or even
what they think of each other, the people
would be wiser. Yet this is the tribunal
that rules the country and takes from citi-
zens their most cherished rights.-Ex-
change.
