A Fifth Wheel.

There is kind Of superfluous organiza-
barnacle to a ships bottom, known as the
National Reformed Press Association"
which is fifth wheel to the coach, III
place of being useful appendage to the
vehicle it is hiudrance. This IN. r. p,
A." has outlived its usefulness, if ever ii
had any useful purpose to subserve, and
ought to be detached from the party and
thrown on the dump. In the early days
of the party it was thought to be useful
school to train editorial pilots for reform
navigation. The Peoples party move
ment is now on the open sea, and the
editor who can't steer his ship by the
charts at his service and the political sky,
had better stay in port or be allowed to
go to the bottom where his craft will be
out of all danger of collision.
AS to the sub-treasury plank of the
Omaha platform, the foresight of its
trainers wisely provided for what they
foresaw was sure to be substituted by
adding, cor some better plan" That
better plan has been presented, which is
the government banking system. This
involves nothing new to the public mind,
simply turning over to, or placing under,
government control our present banking
system, shorn of all its sub-treasury
features. such as depositing L. S. bonds
with the Comptroller, warehousing silver
and using silver certificates, looping off
the gold basis humbug and redemption
bamboozle, all clumsy, useless contriv
ances necessary to prop up the present
methods of Shylock banking. "Some-
thing better" having been found which
the plank" wisely provides for, this
academic feature of the Peoples party
under its cabalstic n. r P. A., the refuge
and favorite stamping ground for noisy,
small caliber editors had better be Topped
off, and the party lightcned to that extent,
will be put in better marching and fight
ing trim. Let the fighting forces of the
Peoples party army be served with hard
tack and ammunition, and the order
forward, march !" be given, the heavy
baggage and supplies not absolutely
necessary for immediate service be
parked under the n. r. P. A .home guard,
till this money battle is fought on field
of its Waterloo.

"THE LAND OF FLOWERS"
Personally Conducted Tours to Florida
via Pennsylvania Railroad.

Undoubtedly one of the most
original and highly satisfactory
creations of the Pennsylvania rail
road is the Inauguration of the per-
sonally conducted tours under the
supervision and direction of q
tourist agent and chaperon, and the
marked success and popularity of
the tours to Florida are due to
several causes; the complete APP
pointment of the special trains, the
liberality ofthe rate and the return
limit Of tickets, are among the
features that have attracted the
travelling public.
The next tour of this years series
to jacksonville, allowing two weeks
stay in Florida, will leave New
York and Philadelphia on March
~. The rate, including transpor-
tation, meals en- route, and Pullman
berth on special train in each direc-
ton is 5000 from New York and
$4S. 90 from Philadelphia; proper
Tomato rates from other points.
For further information apply to
ticket agents, or address tourist
agent, 1896 Broadway, New York,
or room i'll, Broad street station,
Philadelphia, to whom application
for space should also be made.

Wolves in Sleeps Clothing.

Ex-Gov. st. John, of Kansas, gives the
Voice thorough hauling over the Goals
on its limping, Wall street, gold bug
financial proposition. The so-called finan-
cial policy set forth by this high cocalorum
prohibition party organ is so ridiculous
and void of all business capacity, it is not
worthy of pitting an argument against
Mr.. St. John, nevertheless, for the bene-
fit of the Voices innocent readers let us
hope, exposes the ridiculous scheme put
out by the New York organ.
The main purpose of longer keeping up
the prohibition organization on its present
lines is to serve as all aid to the gold ring

quarters in New York also, is another
continuance for the same object by the

riggers are calculated to deceive many

in honest, practical prohibition and
socialism, and by this means dissipate, in
a measure, and to that extent, weaken
the general reform movement. The
ridiculous fnacial system put forward by
the socialist organ from the same modern
Gomorrall, is SO similar to that of the
P0icc i'll absurdity that the conclusion is
irresistible that they have a common
origin. To abuse and misrepresent the
Peoples party, the only political power
in the field against the money oligarchy,
is the mission of these two adjunct parties
of the gold ring. The one assumes to
be striving to right all the evil Of the
government and restore peace and plenty
to the human race by destroying the
saloons, while the monopoly money
power which fosters them is left untouch-
ed. The other would make all mankind
happy by lifting the most ignorant and
helpless class of the proletariat into
supreme control and direction of govern

works a few acres of land, with his own

The monster telephone monopoly of
Bell and Edison was burst by decision
of the United States Supreme Court
handed down on Monday. The object of
the monopoly was to prolong their patent
thirty one years by holding up an appli-
cation in the Patent Office fifteen years
before having patent issued. In the
meantime their patent had been issued
and expired in foreign countries The
decision of the Court was that the patent
could not be perpetuated here after having
expired abroad, and the greedy monopoly
fell on its own sword.

The Fifty-third Congress died on Mon
day at 10 O'Clock NJ. May American
people never look upon its like again. II
all accounts are true it was the greatest
whiskey drinking, bride taking crowd
ever gathered in Washington under the
title of the American Congress. But
unless the intelligence and patriotic
stamina of the American people are able
to cope with the corrupt monopoly influ-
ence which has its hand on the throat OF
the nation there will be many just such
congresses, more imbecile, more venal
and degenerate than the last.

Cleveland and his clerk, Carlisle, sold to

The article on Railroads on the fourt

The article on Railroads on the fourth
page slipped in inadvertently, and is such
as cannot be recommended as a fair state
1nent of government railroads While
containing some valuable statistics, the
most of them are incorrect, and halt
truths, made Intentionally to mislead.
The article was evidently prepared by one
of the corporation employees who are
kept for the purpose of getting up mis-
leading articles for the press. Govern

eventually supersede private, company
management, with great saving to the

The Records Points Not Well Taken.

Bro. Coudon, of the Perryville
Record, takes us to task for claim
ing that United States postage
stamps are money. Stamps do play
an important part as money and
are extensively used as money.
They are not illegal tender" for
any but one purpose, but neither
was the state bank note legal tender
for any purpose, yet it became
money by common consent and use
1t passed as money by sufferance
and was redeemable in coin. Post
age stamps are Of a similar class OF
currency, as the state bank note,
are not legal tender for any but one
purpose and are redeemable for that
in service. They lack the legal
tender function as money, and sc
does the greenback in the payment
of interesest on the public debt and
for import duties, but they are
used for these two payments
nevertheless.
Postage stamps are "fat issues;
Notwithstanding brother CoudOn's
denial. No other power but gov
eminent can make them. Letters
cannot be sent through the mail
without them, and because the fiat
power of the government gives them
this service function, which is pay
ing for labor performed, they are
extensively used as money. They
are issued and sold for money, and
50 was the greenback issued and
sold to the people in exchange foi
products and service. The stamp
is redeemed or bought back by the
government for service. The fun
damental difference between the
stamp and greenbacll in principle,
on which their Issue is made, is the
reversal of action. The govern
ment sells the stamp for money and
buys it back or redeems it by rem
dering service. 1t sold the green
back for service and labor's pro
duets and buys it back or redeems
it for taxes. The use of the two
differ in one respect, and is similar
iii another; the creative power
which brought both into existence
is the same, the sovereign fiat power
which gives them both legal tender
for the purposes they are designed
When you tender (offer) a green
back for debt, the debtor must take
it and cancel your debt. When
you tender (Offer) stamp to the
postmaster he must take it with
your letter and cancel your obliga-
ton to the government for service
rendered in carrying the letter
No power can impart legal tender
to either money or stamps but the
government, and it does by the
laws of congress give that function
to both, and without that gold anC
silver are not money.
Stamps are largely used as cur.
rency daily and pass through the
mails for the payment of small
bills of merchandise, books, papers
etc. Retail dealers receive them il
payment of small bills. They are
never at a discount and are redeem
able at every post Office in the
country, and for that reason people
use them as money to a very con
siderable extent. Being used as {
circulating medium the stamY
becomes money by common consent
as the state bank note became
money. Neither has law compel
ling its use as money.

1t is q surprise to the friends of
Senator Irby that nothing seems
to suit him and he takes nc inter

of the Interview and proposed

than tho object of arriving at the
solution of the suffrage problem.

macy. THE JOURNAL believes that
there IS llttlo room for complaint
from tho class of voters whom
Senator lrby IS apparently so anx-
lous to protect, and that the hom-
mlttec in providing for thom Mas
