POPULIsT DOCTRINES.

10 Mr.. Hsller's third article, which
sppesrs this week, are some very
grave misconceptions. When he at
tributes to POpulists the advocacy OF
On increase of grssnback currency,
patterned after that now 10 existence,
and which he correctly describes as
"psper money upon which is written
a promise to pay one or more dollars
with legal tender certificate added"
he makes q grieVious error whioh is
fatal to all his reasoning b Ised upon
such erroneous assumption. We
know of no Populist platform that
ever demanded such money, and no
Populist writer who ever favored it.
After making this mistake, Mr.. Hell
Ter says:
II those who are demanding this issue Of
legal tender money were to dem and that
the government, under it's constitutional
power to ooin money, should issue paper
money and stamp on it "Ole dollar" or
"This is ,llar," it would be su act on The
part Of the government Of good faith at
least, aud those who demand this money
would be consistent.
Now, this is precisely what Popu-
lists always have demanded, and
where MIR. Hell4r ever became pos
sessed of the erroneous impression
thst they have been ADVOCATING an
jpfS 'esed issue Of promises to pay, is

ably good. Manufacturers were
stimulated, prices of all the products
Of labor advanced. the power of the
landlord to oppress the tenant was
diminished, all productive industries
fourished, a spirit of universal sc-
tiVity everywhere prevailed, aud pro-
ducers of all surplus products pros
pered beyond any former precedent.
But the benefits of this universal
activity did not extend to all Glasses.
The author continues:
Whilst everything was thus enhanced
nOminally ia price, where 10 was prsCtiO-
able, in order TO keep pace with the falling
value Of the inoonvertible paper money,
which was now beng poured forth from
hundreds Of e ood gates, all over the king
dom, the wages of labor Jagged behind,
and the temptation to rob the poor was in-
oreasiDg. The landlord and the farmer,
the manufacturer and tradesmsn, at once
took advantage Of what seemed to them q
spring tide of prosperity; but they were
slow TO raise the wages Of the laborer and
the artisan.
Daring any period of general en-
hsncement of prices, the wages of
labor are always last to advance.
Thus, while prices of food, c'othing
and of every commodity essential to
human comfort and happiness, rise,
he wsgas Of labor tagging behind,
the lab 1rsr aud his family m ust suf-
fer privstion corresponding to the
advance of prices. Notwithstanding
the prosperity which sn expanded
currency brings to other classes,
therefore, we should hesitate to force
it ahead of such oth4r measures as
will cou ltsract its evil effects upon
the Wa4e-esrner. We do not want
any single issue, therefore, aud we
especially do not want to put for
ward any measure whose benefits to
portion OF our people will be at the
cost of any other port On. Let us
ed1cste the people upon all ques-
tions of needed reform aud carry
them along together, 80 that when
the day of dellversnce comes, if It
ever does, the benefits of that deliver
snce may be universal.

and 20 ahead politically no faster

Again; if wa We're to act upon
the theory advanced by Mr.. Sem
and take up just one ISSUE in one
election, wa should frat take that
issue, which secured, would aft 'rd the
greatest amount of relief to the peo-
pie, thereby sforling the greatest
encouragement to 90 forward to fu-
ture vict Iries; and that issue certainly
is not the silver question. Right
here also a diff ,ulty would be ex
perienced in arriving at an agree

ant issue. While reformer5 Of all
shades Of belief will ualte in the sup
port of a broad platform that con-
tsina each OF the distinct propositions
which th-y sever.lly regard as most
important, the adoption of a single
plank platform would gain the sup
port only OF the faction which regards
the issue se'ect9d as most important,
and would slienste thos9 whose PIT
theories were rejected. To illustrate
there Is a very large percentage OF

TO our objections to the plan OF mar
rowing our platform to a single is
sue. The subject in dispute is a
most important one, and will bear
further pursuit.
After acknowledging the force OF
Che argument that the aroused con-
science will be satisfied with nothing
short of the brosdest and most rsdi-
cal reform, Mr.. Sem says:
Bat from my observation and the study
OF practical political work, am convinced
shat we must reoogniEs the differences be-
tween educational and political work.
We agree with this proposition,
though Lot in the exact sense in
which ha intend-d to be understood.
We should distinguish between edu-
cational and political worK, and we
should so distinguish betUeen them
hg to have far are of th4 former
and far less Of the latter. We have
had too much 'politicaI work" in our
state affairs. Two years ago we
elected our state tick-t, not because a
m ,jority of the vo ers OF Kansas
were educated TO belief in our prin-
Clples, but because the national COM
mittse Of the democratic party in
structed the democratic managers of
this state to support our ticket IN
order to advance their own sel6.b
interests, by taking Kansas out ofthe
republican column in that presiden-
tial year. We regard that election
asa victory, but it was not, from the
fact that il had not the educational
basis 10 make it permanent. 10 the
last election the uneducsted vote
, which before contributes to our TIM
porary success, again consulted it's
selfish interests aud went with our
enemies. This was political work."
and any political work that goes in
advance of educational work to te-
cure seeming triumph by any Of
the means usually relied upon by
politicians will be alike temporary
and ultimately disastrous to our in
terests.
The one great objactiou to taking
up the silver question alone as tho
sole issue OF the campaign of 1896, il

few hands, the great trusts and SOM
binations of capital aud the almost
unlimited influence and power of cor
porstions are very largely a growth
of the past few years subsequent to
the war period. ~ Ths large ex-
panse of vacant land existing at that
time has been settled and absorbed
by capitalists for speculative pur-
poses, so that the conditions of the
present time and The opportunities
for individual enterprise are very
different from those of that period.
Oar circumstances to-day resemble
more nearly those of the people of
England 100 years ag'; and the ef-
fects of an expanded currency upon
the Engli-h people of that time afford
fsirer test of what would bs the
effrcrs upon us now than our own
experience under far different Cir
cumstsnces a qnsrtsr of century
ago. During thu Nap oleonic war the
the British government was forced to
resort to large issnes of an irredeem
able paper currency, and the result
was a period OF unparalleled pros
perry to large part of the E g ish
people. This prosperity was not
however, an unmix4d blessing. II
was attended with disastrous conse
uuonces TO one class OF British sab
jecs especially. Thomas Doubleday.
in his Financial, Monetary and Sta
tisiical History of England" clearly
points out both it's good and its bad
effects. He says:
The frat phenomenon TO be noted is, per
hsp0, the pars which the discovery OF ma
chinery, adapted for the spinning ant
weaving OF cotton, wooden, linen and sill
fabrics, enabled us TO play lring the MANI
vioisstudsS OF the long contest. Through
many periods the entire olntinent OF Eu
rope was shut against us; aud yet, strsng'
TO say, this only added to our cJmmercia
resources.
During the entire war psViod, strange Il
relate, the Die continent was, by mean
OF neutral q lgs, supplied with COLONIAL and
manufactured articles through England PnG
her colonies; and as fast as the depreOiat
log paper sent the precious metals out o

In the mesutim :, sne expense OF on

neoessarily augmented the expenditure o
the next. The notes of all d.
nOmi lstions were pushed out by the paren
bank and her illegitimsts progeny, tn
country bankers, who multiplied apsoe
and, as this went on, general rise in th
prices Of all commodities followed. Unds
these circumstances 40 great were the nomi
nal profits mad1 by traders Of every grade
aud so lavish was the expenditure Of th
government, that the paper money 500
became popular amongst all the CONNER
