farming will be crushed unless there is
a return to the protective policy as re-
CARDS grain at least When suggested
this to the English bimetallists they
found the proposal rather amusing. Yet
they had to admit that the talk in favor
of protection played part in the cleo
tons. The much smaller man who de-
feated John Morley at Newcastle owed
much of his success to the boldness with
which he avowed himself protestionist,
and the avowal was greeted with ap-
plause by the workers even in the ship
yards at Tynemouth. l found indica-
tons of the same feeling among the far
mers of Lancashire. Even in Manches-
ter it is avowed by many, and signs on

are the products of British industry.

One objection to protection of grain
which meet everywhere is that England

not lay duty on wheat coming from
| abroad. Ever since l read Prof. Lave

England were cultivated as are the

NO FUSION.

RED HOT AGAINST THE UNION PABA
Editor Nonconformist
According to your proposition and as
reader OF your paper l send my opinion
on the practical union of reform forces
agreed upon at Prohibition Park, Staten
Island. The conglomeration of such an
swers as you have put in print is enough
to disgust all true Peoples party voters.
Can it beiposs:ble that old solid reformers
and voters must be placed in the same
category with prohibitionists, single tax
ers, single plank platform advocates, free
silver lunatics and one-idea cranks, who
never have nor can comprehend more
than one point? When that objective
point is found, the mind becomes fossil
:zed and they judge others of being inca
pable to see and know what is too much
for themselves. I beg pardon; but I must
criticise the reform press. AS have
been reader of dozen to score of re-
form papers for number of years. and
as my reform education dates back nearly
twenty years and before had any partv
prejudices, will say that Inever saw re-
form papers waver to and fro. Tossed on
the political ocean, uncertain where to
drop anchor with safety to their own in
terest. Why this prostitution? WHY
dickerwith every schemer who comes out
with an idea? Must this hogwash be di-
gested by honest and fearless defenders of
justice, who with a free and clear mind
can grasp the glorious principles engraved
on the rock of the Omaha platform? It
I! is the young Gibralter, which men of
great minds and energetic power will de-
| fend against schemers and propagandists.
| who from their nature never can allow to
others equal justice with themselves. It
is the eternal truth of equal rights and
brotherhood of man on earth, that these
self-esteemed domineering schemers
dread and fight with all and everything
| they can command. What makes the
wealthy classes? Unjust laws. Who
make the laws? The schemers. How do
| the schemers come to make the laws?

THE MASK IS OFF.

Editor Representative:
The formation of Gold and Silver
Clubs" by Republicans, Democrats and a
few misguided Populists, together with
the position taken by the bankers organ,
Rhodes Journal of Banking, VIZ: "To put
gold on an equality with silver it is only
necessary to repeal the law which now
permits individuals to take gold to the
minis and have it coined into the gold,
coins of the United States. This would
remove beyond all question the complaint
that bold is a metal favored beyond its
merits"
And the Minneapolis Tribune, which in
an editorial of the 18th inst, says:
'In order to provide for said coinage,
the government might purchase gold bull
lion offered at the market price, and the
minis could coin as much of this bullion,
so purchased, as there happened to be a
demand for. In like manner, the govern
ment might be authorized to purchase sill
yer at its market price and coin as much
of 1t as there happened to be demand
for. This would place both metals on
perfect equality before the law.
And now, lest some crank should get up
and shrek that this is scheme to deprive
the people of all metal money whatever
it may be well to explain that it would not
result in any decrease in the volume of
coined money of either metal; the only
difference would be that both gold and
silver would be coined on government ac-
count instead of for the account of pri-
waite citizens. The government could be
compelled by law to purchase, at the cur
rent market price. and coin enough coins
OF both metals to supply any obvious de-
mand, the government reaping the profit
of the seignorage, whatever it might be"
| Ought to show the people which way the
wind blows on this monetary question.
Money monopolists, gold bugs and "sil-
yer cranks' realize that if they are to
retain their grip on the throats of the
producers of every commodity that they
must not in any event let the standard
of value" extend beyond two commodi-
ties-gold and silver-hence, the forma-
ton of said clubs. The gold men are
frightened by the silver shouters, and the
| silver men are not over confident Of
winning single handed, hence the COM
promise. Now the money kings are hap

THE STATE FAIR AN ASSURED
SUCCESS.

Every department of the State Fair,
which opens at Haml:ne midway between
St. Paul and Minneapolis, on Sept 9th,
will be crowded to the limit this year.
Secretary Randall writes US that for the
first time in years the society has been
compelled to turn away applicants for
space. This result is due largely to the
banner crop which has been harvested in
Minnesota, and the satisfaction of the
people with the result. The management
of the Fair have provided an attractive
series of entertainments aside from the
exhibition itself, and the Twin Cities, St.
Paul and Minneapolis, are to provide a
series of entertainments in the form of
parades, bicycle carnivals, street illum-
nations and military pageants. Fair
week in St. Paul and Minneapolis will
be gala week. The railroads will make
a rate OF one fare for the round trip dur
ing all the week, good for return as late
as Monday, the 10th.

see no reason for the change made in

also the cheapest. A great point in it's

which I used MANILA and hemp about
equal amounts, and not one bundle
bound with hemp was cut, while fully
three in five of the others would pop
open when the fork touched them.
Had 1 voice in the matter l would
clamor necessarily for the state to re-
turn to manufacture of hemp, even if we
would be compelled to pay or cents
per pound for the same, and our own
state alone would use all that they could
make.

their long lease of power will continue

and allowed to circulate as commodity
pure and simple. They then would be on
an equality with wheat, corn, cotton, beef,

Government has no moral right to
make special laws in the interests of any

THE WORK OF A "sPOTTER."

After eighteen years continuous
service with a railway company, a
passenger conductor of Chicago
has been 'let out" The circum-
stances leading up to his discharge
by the company are of a kind calcu-
lated to arouse the wrath of rail
way employees, although the ex-con-
conductor himself accepts his dis
missal good naturedly. "He was
not the only one" as the comic
song has it. Not long ago tall,
emaciated man Travelled from New
York almost to San Francisco with
out paying fare, He introduced
himself to the conductor, and said
he had very little money, but that
he hoped to get to California, where
he believed, his life could be pro-
longed He said he was suffering
from consumption, and his appear
ance bore out the story. He showed
a knowledge of the railway business
and the conductor believed his
story. He was "dead,headed" to
the end of the first run, and the
first conductor was good enough to
fix it, with the conductor who
came on to take his place, He
reached Chicago and proceeded
westward on one Of the well known
lines, The Chicago conductor had
been informed of the facts in the
case, and consented to carry the
sick man, even though it was a
violation of heru(es.
Within two weeks after he had
been SO obliging he received his
peremptory discharge. Upon an in
vestigation he learned that every
conductor who, out of the goodness
of his heart, helped along the brok-
en- down railroad man had been dis.
charged The consumptive was
'spotter." 1t is said that in his en-,
tire journey from New York to
San Francisco only one conductor
remained unaffected by his piteous
story. This was the conductor on
the last run, ending at San Francis
co, and he alone retains a job. Yet,
il the traveller had been a consump-
tive railroad man attempting to
reach the bland climate of the
coast, the conduct of the last con-
ductor would have been condemned
by nincty-nine out of every one
hundred railway employees. -[Chi-
