tional legion for Campaign fund. Only
$1.0O, and premium given worth the
money and more. Legion button, Van
Dervoort's book, PETERS book, and
Kansas City address, with pictures.
All who stand on Omaha platform

CORNERED.
Continued from First Pase.)


capacity of general question answerer
to the readers Of the Tribune, and I
wish he would answer these ques-
lions:
what, il any, were the reasons
which made it necessary to discon-
tinue the free coinage Of silver by
Germany in 1871 and by the United
States in 1873? Germany was the first
to change. Why did the United States
follow? Who asked for it? Was it
done to remedy some great and grow
ing evil? Did the owners of silver
money ask for its destruction, or did
they know it was contemplated? Was
it matter OF public discussion and
done in the light of day and with full
knowledge of tne consequences? II
not, who were the real authors of the
change. and was their purpose a
benevolent or selfish one? II it was
either selfish act or mistake should
not the world change back, so that
justice will be done to the untold mil
lions who never heard of the impe nd
ing change until it was accomplished,
and the mistake be rectited in the
shortest time possible?
The London Statist is probably the
lism in the world. In recent issue
it proves from the trade statistics
that in the year 1894 England gained
$500, 100000 more by buying food and
raw materials cheap than she lost By
selling manufactured products also
cheap. 1t says the present condition
Of things is vastly to the benefit of
England, because she is the greatest
creditor nation in the world. The
Statist states in plain English that
the money made by England due to
present conditions is at the expense
OF the producing and debtor nations,
which are in deep Distress The
opinion Of the Statist is shared by the
great bankers and others who control
legislation. If it's opinion is correct,
how long do you think it will be before
England consents to take active and
sincere part in an international agree
ment to restore silver to its old place
or to any place better than the pres
emf in the monetary system of the
world?
IF England does not consent, and
II the great continental nations re-
fuse to DO anything because she will
not, then how long must this great
debtor and greatest producing nation
continue to produce food and raw ma
terials at starvation prices for her
benefit? Is our financial independence
impossible without the consent of
England? The Tribune has been an
able advocate of industrial indepen.
dence for many years, and has always
had remedy to suggest for any selfish
English policy directed against the
United States. What do you think
the United States ought to do in case
any fair international settlement is
blocked by the selfshness of England,
as ten chances to one it will be?"

ONLY TWO PARTIES.

According to the theorem of that
old mathematician. Legendre, 1.-TWO
lines which coincide throughout their
whole extent form one and the same
line"
In like manner, two political parties
which agree in all important particu-
lars form one and the same political
party.
The Democratic and Republican
parties form virtually but one party
the party Of Plutocracy.
The leaders and policy builders of
each party are the same-the tools of
Wall street.
The financial policy pursued by
Cleveland and Carlisle has been in
dorsed by Harrison and Sherman.
The gold-basis fad of the Republicans
has become Democratic measure. SO
far as a Democratic Administra ton
can make it such.
The tariff differences of the old par
ties are to infinitessimal for discus
sion.
The ruthless and unwarranted
trampling upon the rights of a state
by Cleveland year ago received the
most hearty and general Republican
approval-Ben Harrison declared he
would have done exactly as Cleveland
did under the same circumstances.
It is difficult to tell which old party
hates Populists and Populist princi pies
with the greatest hatred, or rejoices
most at Populist defeat.
Each old party stands in awe of Eng
land, yields readily 10 her demands,
and submits passively to her dicta-
tiOn.
These two old parties ''coincide
throughout their whole extsnt," why
should they not be treated as one and
the same party?
cipally in depriving the poorer classes
of right which the Prohibitionists
themselves accord the rich-can only
be regarded as an Otfshoot or branch
of the Republican party and an advo-
cate, simply, Of class legislation.
So far reference has been made to
but one party-the party of Plutoc-
racy.
Opposed to this is the second and
only other great party of the nation
the POpulists, or party of the people,
They advocate money for the peo-
pie, not for the banks.
They demand public transportation
and means OF communication in the
interest of the people, and not for
monOpolies.
They urge the adoption of reforms
which shall place the government in
the hands of the people for the bene-
fit of the people.
There are only two great political
parties-the party of the Plutocrats,
and the party of the People
The sooner we realize this great
truth, the simpler and easier of solu-
ton will the political problem be-
come,
Pass the word along the line: There
are only two political parties-the
Plutocrats and tn. People.

FORMING ONES STANDARD.

President Garfield once said that
one of the mist solemn moments in a
young mans life is when he casts his
first ballot, because he invariably
measures his standard of citizenship
thereby. IF" says Garfield, she fol-
lows the tracks of his father without
inquiry as to principles and reforms,
little dependence can be placed upon
him to fight the battles Of progress,
which every republic must fight to
live; If he allows prejudices to warp
his Judgment, he at once becomes one
of class that under certain circum-
stances might become dangerous to
our countrys welfare and perpetuity.
On the other hand, IL he goes to the
ballot-box with independent judg-
ment, careful investigate of politi-
cal principles and parties, and I'M
swerving devotion TO duty, he be-

ONLY CONTRACTIONISTS.

The latest quotation on the new United
States four per cent. bonds, due in 1925
is $122h on the dollar, that is 221s cents
more on the dollar than the bonds call for
The President arranged with the syndi-
cate to sell them the bonds at about 81. 1S
If congress would authorize them made
payable in gold only, and if congress
should refuse, the syndicate should have
the bonds at $1.041a. Congress refused
to make the bonds payable in gold only
thereby giving notice to all the world that
they would be payable in silver or gold
SO the bonds were delivered at $104s
They are now selling at $1.22Ha. These
silver bonds going in the open market in
London and New York at 22h cents on
the dollar premium. Are the goldbugs
afraid of the silver dollar when they pay
221@ cents premium for bonds payable in
silver? Certainly not. The alleged fear
of the silver dollar is hypocracy. They
are not goldbugs, particplarly-they are
contractionists. 1t isn't silver particular
ly that they oppose, it is more money. II
they could secure a final settlement OF
the money question by the demonetiza-
ton of gold and the reconciliation of sill
yer, they would do it, because that would
mean a contraction of the currency and
therefore an increase in the purchasing
power Of the dollar. What the money
power want is a scarce dollar, so that
prices will be so low the people can never
pay out of debt. Perpetual interest in
dear dollars is what they desire and are
working for.-Missouri World.

for sale-gold being demanded for them
new demand on the treasury will be
created which has not hitherto been
recognized. 1t is perfectly safe to Say
that the present administration will have
occasion to issue at least as many more
bonds-about $3.50, 000, 0OO-as have al
ready been issued, if this new danger
shall really materialize.
What spectacle for government like
ours-presiding as it does over the richest
nation of all the earth, to be compelled
to carry on such puerile monetary sys-
TEN as that which has been forced upon
1t by the use of the single gold standard

Her youthful beauty died.,
The fair meek blossom that grew up
And faded by my side;
In the cold moist earth we laid her
Where the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one so lovely
Should have a life so brief.
Yet not unmeet it was, that one
Like this young friend of ours
So gentle and so beautiful
Should perish with the flowers"

Last Monday afternoon | took a
drive over to Pittsburgh, Il place
that I had often desired to visit. ]
enjoyed a very pleasant outing in
deed thanks to Mrs. Ida Sheppard
who has big, generous heart and
often gives me nice drive in her
buggy for "sweet charities sake"
That afternoon we called on Mrs.
Rice and her pretty sister Miss
Foley, l.atives of West Virginia.
Mrs. Rice is the youthful wife of
the Superintendent of the Pitts
hurgn mines, and I think her pret-
ty, piquant, good, and sensible.
After showing US her home, and
wonderful baby, she became our
chaperone to the quarry.
Lots of money must have been
spent in buying the machinery,
and various implements for carry
ing on this work, and it is a great
pity that this Industry closes u
next October.
Accompanied by Mr.. Rice, we
picked our way over huge bould-
ers, and crags of rocks, and felt as
though we were climbing The Alps.
Threading our circuitous way, ""
reached the stockade. The squad
of convicts with the guards passed
us, looking picturesque and bru-
tai in their stripes and sullen faces.
Some of the ritf-raff were auda-
cious enough to touch their hats
in passing. We looked in at the
grating of the cells. Some were
resting on bunks. others at tanks
of water washing their hands and
faces. The whole scene suggested
some vivid description Of Victor
Hugo's, or painting by Dore. We
were shown launches of meat and
platters of bread, preparing for
supper. i suppose these mlsera-
BILE creatures are profitable. Say
ing goodbye to the mines we drove
home with our laps full of wild
flowers.
