To the Editor:
From the number of Jackass-One-
being launched by the
most INSCRIPTIONS politicians of both Of
the one-old parties, it stands true mid
die of the road reformers in hand to be
UP and doug In the work of educating
the masses in true reform
received recently small pamphlet
entitled, more money party. From the
tone Of it 1 See plainly the design is to
have sort OF political "Pot-Pouri' in
1896; it speaks O. seven parties being in
the field. I fail to find in these new
lodges single issue advocated but what
is earnestly and honestly advocated by
the Peoples Party and incorporated in
their platform. To have men who have
been in the old party crysalis state the
past years while the true and earnest
men have been sacrificing SO much
time, money aud labor in their effort to
awaken the people to the dangers threat
ening our free institutions, to at this
time bray over issues of reform, brands
such in my estimation, as dishonest,
INSCRIPTIONS, political knaves, who stop
short of no trickery or lying they think
will secure their nomination and cleo
ton to some office. If elected on the
great cry Of silver, is to 1, they will
try to trick through bill for free COIN
age of silver legal tender except when
otherwise especially stipulated in the
contract" and then howl back to their
constituents about its being necessary
in order to maintain the credit of this
nation! 1 believe hell is full of such
refOrmers, and also these one-issue par
ties. What good will free coinage do
us with silver crippled in that way?
Again, suppose these "more-money"
scoundrels succeed in getting elected to
Congress on the more money" cry,
which is very catching to the unthink-
ing, as most all of us feel the need of
more money in our now empty pockets,
and get bill through increasing the
money to $50 per capita, these fellows
know full we'll that more money issued
under existing conditions of getting it
among the people will do the people no
good, as every dollar of it would call
for its pound of flesh in qsurious in
terest, which is now more than the
products of labor can pay.
defy any of these political scoundrels
to point out one plank in the Omaha
platform, and If they had a spark of
political honesty in them they would
say the only fault we can find in it is it
is too earnestly honest for a political
rascal to secure his election by advo-
eating it; SO il will not do for political
emissaries of he'll. (Give these adjec-
tives only political application.)
If any one reading this article gains
the impression that am almost to the
fighting pitch Of temper will not miss
It much. l believe every one who has
made an earnest effort for reform the
past FIVE years against the persistent
opposition Of these -political-idea-
men, and now they come forward with
q one-issue campaign bray, is either
mad or ought to be. l believe it is far
better for the people and civilization to
make the campaign upon honest lines
of reform, and elect men who will hon
estly work to legislate reform, and every
mothers son of them who betray the
people "hang them, by the eternais. y
The lives of few score Of such, who by
their acts prove they are unfit to live,
is as nothing compared with the lives
of those laboring men who are being
shot down every year by militia because
they dare resent injustice, as the foun-
ders of this government did in 1776.

First-Open all minis to free and uu.
limited coinage of as much silver coin

credit of said coinage.
Second-Guarantee to the possessors
of United States silver coin it's repre-
sentative value in silver bullion at any
time they wish to make the exchange
