Coins Financial Fools.

Among the innumerable host
that has answered" Coin is one
Horace White, the dude editor of
the New York Evening Post. Hor-
aces book recalls somebody's re-
mark about puns, that some OF
them were so Internally bad as to
be good. 1t deserves the praise,
if that be worth anything, of be-
ing one of the best books ever
written on the wrong side OF a
question of which the writer is
profoundly ignorant. The best
thing about il is its unconscious
humor. Worthless of itself,
Whites production is good dramati-
cally, like the chattering of the
fool in the play of skiing Lear" or
the misplaced words of Mrs. Part
ington. Horace, for instance, is
greatly shocked at the liberties
Coin takes with prominent per-
sonages. He informs us gravely
that Coin is not the fifteen-year
old boy that he represents himself,
but grown man with whiskers.
Horace also solemnly AYERS that he
did not give any lectures, as the
book purports, and that the per-
sons who were quoted as present
we're, in fact, not present. In or
der to enable himself to make this
point against Coin with crushing
effect, White went to the trouble
of writing to Lyman Gage, Pro-
fessor Laughlin and others who are
introduced into the Financial
School, and exultantly publishes
their letters denying that they had
ever attended any such lectures.
This, of course, settles Coin and
proves with all the logic of idiOcy
that his arguments about silver,
based on official records, can't pos
sibly be true. And this precious
stuff, which it would be an extrav.
agant compliment to call nonsense,
| is one of the documents sent out
by that self-styled New York IRE
form Club" to stay the free sivel
wave. Like other books sent out
by that gang it is valuable as show
ing how little can be said in behalf
of the single gold standard. As
the argument progresses it will bt
found that that newest as well al
worst discovery in finance has no
a leg to stand on and that all th'
ability in the world cannot succeed
in putting up a justification for it
l-Nonconformist.
We clip the above for the espe
cial benefit of Bro. Goodwin o
the Colfax Chronicle, who admire
Coins Financial Fools 80 well, be
cause he is one of the chiefs anon,

Do YOU want any statesmen III
so, come to Winn parish for them.
We have superabnndance of them
here. Some say there is not any
more than are necessary, but we
think different, because, they are
of So little profit it must be evil
dence of overproduction. Excel
siOr.
Don't imagine they are states
men, Bro. Smith, just because they
can "down" you so completely
with speech or pen; they need not
be very learned in craftsmanship
to do that.
While we know that some of the
biggest fools in America abide in
Winn parish, (your paper gives
evidence of that we also know
that a big majority of her citizens
belong to that class of people from
which Washington, Franklin, jet
ferson, jackson, Lincon, and near
ly all truly great and patriotic
statesmen of our nation were ia
ken. They breathe the same pure,
free country air, have their brains
as well as muscles developed and
strengthened by the same honest
toll, are governed and actuated by
the same simple, yet broad prlncl-
pie of the golden rule, "equal
rights to all and special favors to
none"; and when the emergency
calls upon them to display the
same energy and patriotism, they
will be found answering thell
country's call with the same bril-
liant craftsmanship that character
lied the heroes above named, while
you, Bro. Smith, continuing YOU
present role of backslider, can bu
hope to equal the infamy of Bene
dict Arnold.

A rich gold mine has been dis
covered in Marshall county, Ala.
1t is stated that the land, which a
short time ago could have been
bought for mere song, is now
worth $4,000, 900. We will ven-
ture the assertion that the farmers,
who own the mines, are now strong
sound money men, and stand ready
to define what ''sound money" is
Morehouse Clarion.
Correct, and it is to their per-
sonal gain to be so; they are actu-
ated by self-interest to do so. But
from the samc standpoint of self
interest, what fools you and l are
to advocate the gold standard,
which is blighting the prosperity
of every one save the gold-bug and
his paid tools.

Editor LOUISIANA POPUIST--
Please publish enclosed resolu-
tions OF Peoples Party Executive
Committee.
AT a meeting of the Peoples
party Executive Committee the
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
1st. That we still approve OF
and reaffirm our allegiance to the
Omaha platform, as containing the
true and righteous policy of need
ed reform in our nation, and IN
reference thereto, we recommend
that our State policy contain mon
etary reform, commencing with the
restoration of silver to free coin
age ut the ratio of Is to l, as a
step in the right direction.
Ind. Ballot reform to reach a
fair and unbiased expression from
the people, with such other re,
forms as justice and the rights OF
the people demand.
3rd. We recommend the for
nation of clubs at every voting
precinct in the parish, and the
reading and distribution of our re,
form literature to the extent of our
ability.
Committee adjourned to meet
again on the 1st Saturday in June

Speaker Crisp declared for free
silver, but the people are advocates
of Lax-o-lin, the best remedy for
constipation and irregularities of
the bowels and digestion.-Jack-
sonian.
To those who know Speaker
Crisp's record, his simple declara-
ton for free silver is the best cure
for constipation of the bowels that
we have ever heard of, and We
think that ''the people" had better
hang on to it, as Laxolin might
prove a less certain remedy.

Somewhat Ratified.

In another place in this paper
will be found letter from a cor
respondent who signs himself
'Populist."
Our friend must be considerably
ratified or he could not advocate
the plan he does of putting down
ballot stuffing, retaining at
the same time the organization of
the Populist party intact, and if
he remains true to the party that
his signature indicates he belongs
he certainly is the possessor of
some strange visions.
The plans submitted by our
friend will never he accepted by
the Populist party, because, in the
first place they are not altogether
practicable, and secondly, if the
rank and file of the Democratic
party could have maintained un-
molested control of the Organiza-
tion, keeping it from drifting so
far away from the basic primer
Piles of It's pristine mOOrings, we
would have had little cause for
leaving the Democratic party and
organizing a new one.
The Democrats could count the
Populists out just as easily and
with just as much impunity in the
primary as they could in the gene
raj election.
When thieves steal among them
selves as the Democrats are known
to do in this state an outsider would
stand about as much chance of fail
play when delivered into theil
hands as snow flake would in tht
locality where the birthstone burn
eth and the fire dieth not.
In the campaign of 1892, Nc
Emery was counted out in the pri
mary, and the fraud was so very
fragrant that his friends would no
submit without protest. McEner.
ran the race through to the finish
polling upon a fair count, majori
| ty of the legal votes cast, but wa
again counted out.
| Here in this district no lOnge
than last fall Watkins, a Democrat
was counted out in a primary elec
tion where only white people wer
allowed to participate, by Demo
Gratis.
| Under such records as these, th
Populists could not expect any
thing other than to be counted out
even if they were permitted t
participate in the primary electlol
our friend advocates.
Sometimes this strategy bushes
will work and sometimes it won't
it generally won't, except in favo
of the other fellow.
By strategy the Farmers ALL
ance was gong to swallow up tn
Democratic party in the last cor
test, but to her amazement whe
the time came for the swallowin
process to be proceeded with tn
Democratic party turned the ts
bles and the Alliance was place

Nonsense; of course, it wouldn't
be Populistic if it wasn't nonsense.

piece of Populistic nonsense.

they voted as a unit against it in
the State legislature, and will do
the same next Spring.
But that is more than you can
say of your party on any question.
You seem to be cOnstitutionally
opposed to voting as unit, and
that is why so many people have
left you and gone into a party
which can vote as a unit upon the
things it processes to believe. We
