"PATRIOTS OF AMERICA"
Now Political Party Misunderstanding

Now Political Party Launchcd-Bimet-
alIism Their Aim
new political organization has been
launched in the United States under the
name of the Patriots of America. 1t
will not, however, nominate candidates,
and will antagonize only such existing
political parties as cross swords with
the principles it advocates
1t seeks to bring together the people
of the United States who believe in BIZ
metallism or who are opposed to the
gold standard, as well as those who are
opposed to the present condition of az
fairs, and by patriotic and unselfish
cooperation establish sound principles
in the laws of the government that will
promote the common good. The or
ganizatton proposes to take up the lead
ing issue in national politics and settle
it if possible each four years in the in
tcrest of'the people, and pass on to the
next proposition.
The Patriots of America is an organi-
zation founded by Mr. w. H. Harvey,
author of "Coin's Financial School"
with the advice and assistance of many
public men, it is intended to success
fully resist what they regard as the
onward march Of this destroying
power. It's organizers claim for it that
it is so planned under its constitution
as to resist all attacks both from with
in as Well as without the organization.

There is no change of Importance
IN the market for cotton goods, which
is not active enough to prevent some
accumulation. Print cloths are a shade
weaker. The market for wooden goods
has not improved scarcely any except
ing clay mixtures and few fancy
cassimeres selling at better than last
years prices, and clothiers are not in
haste to contract largely, owing to I'M
certainty as to foreign prices. New or

1t sounds strange to hear the many
complaints of slow collections and
scarcity OF money at the west, on ac-
count OF the tardy movement of prod
ucts from the farms, when western
wheat receipts in three weeks have
been 1S,615,49S bushels, against 1885,

flour included, are only 5,S12,33 against

cotton continues comparatively small.
There was shade of advance in the
price until foreign questions disturbed
the market, but it closed with a quar-
ter decline.

Senator Mills asked where America
was going to get the money with which
to carry on the awful conflict. He an
swered his own question by suggesting
an amendment to the constitution au
thorizing levy or direct taxes on real

urged action before the Christmas re-

Isle some time ago decided were on
equality with legal tenders in their

If such resolution should be passed
it would relieve the treasury at once
of the threat Of s150,000, 600 of paper
currency redeemable in gold and leave
only the greenbacks for raiding pur-
poses. The resolution would certainly
pass the senate, but its fate in the
