Are the People So Ignorant.

The nation has come into the feel
ing, to a great extent, that the cur
rency question is opeI too difficult for
ordinary comprehension. Certainly
general ideas as regards it are expect
ed to be held, and they differ very
widely, and run their lines through
both the great parties Of the country
rather than unite one or the other
party in favor of any view, but when a
measure is to be framed that bears
upon the currency, it is assumed that
only few experts are competent to
grapple with it. The people generally
who are interested in public affairs
have not studied the currency as they
have other questions For years the
currency was the dominating question
in the country. It then took the pre-
cedence Of every thing else in the pub
lie mind. Public prosperity or adver-

national policy with regard to it. A
sound currency was thought to be, as
it unquestionably is, the life blood of
the nation. The humbleSt man sup

W. n. DOBBYN RETURNS FROM THE
PEOPLES PARTY CONFERENCE.

VIM. r. Dobbyn, one of the local Popu-

Louis conference of the leading lights of
the party. Mr.. Dobbyn was honored with
an appointment upon the national commit

In discussing the conference and it's work,
Prof. Dobbyn said to THE TRIBUNE yes
terday that he looks upon the destiny of
the Peoples party to make steady gains as
assured. He is particularly happy over the
attitude the party has taken with regard
to a one-idea platform. He gives it as his
opinion that the one-idea men will never
again try to gain control of the party.
They came to that conference with one idea,
and went away with a good many ideas.

BANKERS WANT PAPER.
Great FinancierS Who Have FlOp.
ped Over to the Side of In.
f1atiOn.

1t would be the essence of folly to
say that these eastern bankers know
what they want, but they perceive
that the people will demand currency
reform of some kind and so they Jump
with the first proposition that comes
before them, no matter what it's char
acter or tendency. They say that ad-
ditions to the currency in the shape
Of the free coinage of silver would
drive out gold and place our financial
system on silver basis, but they pre-
tended not to see that additions to
the currency in the shape of credit pa
per will send out gold and drive the
country to paper basis.
The eastern bankers, we judge from
the arguments of their most intelli-
gent organ, would prefer paper basis
to silver basis, for then they would
work for resumption by issuing more
bonds and reaping rich rewards;
whereas, the silver basis would per-
manently dispose Of their gold argu-
ments. For the moment, therefore,
they are willing to pretend to be in
favor of paper imitation. They were
extremely anxious to suppress the is
sue Of legal-tender notes under the
Sherman act. but now, on the other
hand, they are not opposed to the is
sue of bank notes.
The truth is. they are out for the
profits that are to be found in alter
nate imitation and contraction. They
are like the mans rat-trap. They
catch the people a-coming and a-going,

cratic congress in a much more shame

New York, Jan. 1.-The Times this

News comes from Chicago of the

collapsed several years ago, failed be-
cause it could not limit production.

convince these owners that profits
may be increased with smaller OUT

simply a return to the most extreme style of
the old ehignon an immense wad of hair, or
imitation of one, stuck straight out from the
back of the head. In it's extreme deyelop-
ment it is often full large as the head
which it disigures. Sometimes you see a
woman who aims to be ultra fashiona BILE
wearing two of these monstrosities one
atop of the other, and maybe little sailor
hat perched atop of the wad but not COW
ering her head at all. The only improve
ment over the old chgnon is that the pres

to her majesty-or from silly aping of roy
