bered with details or side issues and
recent events have proved that l was
right. The money power for the first
time realizes that great conflict with
the people confronts them and now is
the time to meet them on their chosen
ground. Secretary Carlisle's speech at
Covington, KY. indicates that they
don't intend to yield one inch. Let us
push the money question to the front
and hold other issues in allegiance until
this is settled. | am in favor of unit
ing all the people opposed to the gold
standard and banks of issue into one
party, under one banner. and on one
platform and candidate in 1896; but it
is impossible to do this in either the
Democratic or Republican parties. 1t
would be a waste of words to discuss
such a proposition. At present, the
people who are opposed to the gold trust
are divided into four hostile camps. If
they can be united next year the vic
tory is won, but If they cannot, the
contest for '96 is lost. In my opinion
the Peoples party is common ground
upon which all these elements can
stand. With best wishes for the sue
cess of our cause, remain. fraternally

THE MASK UNMOVED.
TRUTHS OF POPULISM COMING
TO THE FRONT.
Not So Much Talk Nowadays About the
Wild Calamity HOwIers-The Calami-
ty Came as Predicted-So Will Victory
Come to Peoples Party.

When Populist speakers in '92, '93
and '94 arraigned the national bank
Ing system and exposed the legalized
robbery of the business and farming
interests of America by the national
bankers, the old party hacks de-
nounced us, and branded us as anarch-
lists and calamity howlers.
When the Populists proved that ma
tional banks got money from the gov
ernment at 1 per cent and speculated
on it, the old party hacks denounced
us as liars.
When we proved that the farmers
were forced to pay from Il to so per
cent for the use of money, the old
party hacks denounced us as stirrers
up of strife, and the Democratic press
OF Georgia, with an unbroken unanim-
ity, defended the national bankers.
We told the people that the national
bankers deposited an interest-bearing
bond with the government; the govern
ment issued the bankers money sat 1
per cent, exempted the bond from tax
alton, and in addition thereto paid the
bankers to loan money direct to the
farmers, but we couldn't hammer the
facts into the heads of the country
merchant and the farmer.
We told them it was legislation in
favor of a class and would result in
Shaving the merchant and the farmer,
but the old party hacks and news
papers stuffed the ears of the merchant
and farmer with moss-backism, negro
domination and white supremacy, and
our warnings went unheeded.
But we never faltered. We knew
we were right and believed that the
time would come when our course
would be vindicated-when the mas
querade of the bond-holders would end
and the maskers would be forced to
unmask.
The average reader-we care not
what his politics may be-must admit
that our arraignment of the national
banking system was just and true,
and the fulfillment of our predictions
is near at hand.
We publish on our first page extracts
from New York correspondent of the
Constitution wherein the enormity of
the national bank system of robbery is
fully disclosed.
Every reader should remember that
the money these bankers propose to
loan Is based on government bonds, and
the bonds are based on the private
property of the man who is forced to
borrow; that the banker gets the money
from the government at 1 per cent,
and the man whose property is pledged
for the payment of the governments IS
debt has to pay from 121s to so per
cent to the banker for the privilege of
using his own money.
Every reader should remember that
the Populist party was organized to
extirpate that system, and that the
Democratic party approves and fosters
the system by legislativ acts.-People's
Party Paper.

THE BALTIC CANAL.
FORMALLY OPENED WITH
GRAND CEREMONIES.
The Greatest Aggregation of Warships
Ever Gathered Together at One Time
Takes Part in the Proceedings-The
Purpose of the Canal.

HAMBURG, June 20.-In the presence
ships ever gathered together at one
time, the celebration of the opening
of the great Baltic canal, linking the
North and East seas, began yesterday
when the emperor of Germany and all
the representatives of the nations as
sembled here, and a great state dinner
and concert on an island in the Alster
basin were followed by tour of liam
burg harbor and the departure of the
kaiser for Kiel on his yacht.
The purpose of the Baltic canal is a
two-fold one, commercial and naval.
As for the commercial advantages,
they result plainly enough since the
shortening of voyage hitherto made
around the Skager rock is considerable.
From Newcastle. Hull and London, the
saving in nautical miles is l07, Isl and
239 respectively; from Dunkirk and
other points along the French, Bel
gium and Dutch coasts, from 236 to ESQ
miles, and from Emden, Bremen and
Hamburg, $50, 323 and 425 miles re-
spectively. \ similar saving of dis
tance and time is effected for Baltic
ports of Prussia, Mecklenburg and
Russia.
The military advantages accruing
lie in the fact that henceforth in time
of war the German navy cannot be
rent or kept apart and provisioning of
either the Baltic or the North sea can
not be interrupted or rendered impos-
sible.
The construction of the canal was
begun eight years ago and its total
cost has been S3s, 500, 900.

We have now ready beautiful GER
tificate of membership in the Legion
and Peoples Party. 1t was designed by
John w. Moakler, of the Executive
Council, aided by his wife. 1t will dec
crate any parlor, adorn any home, and
be pride to everyone possessing il.
Great trouble seems to be impending in
the nation. The Attorney-G General, Su-
preme Judges and newspapers predict
it. One of these certificates may be OF
priceless value in a short time. At any
rate it will show that you belong to the
great army of patriots who are fighting
| the battle for humanity, and in years to
come money could not buy one. Sup
! pose the Peter Cooper veterans had
such testimonial. This certificate is
engraved, has beautiful figure on its
face that typifles our platform, and
! shows the union of the west and south.
1t will have a silver seal, with Finance,
Land and Transportation stamped on
1t, and we will give as premium to all
ordering early my book, Case for BIZ
metalism, Legion button, address at
Kansas City, with picture, and with
| first 100 PETERS great report on agri-
cultural depression. The premiums are
worth the cost of the certificate, which
| is $1.00, to be sent in all cases in money,
money orders, or express orders-no
| checks-and addressed to Paul Van
! Dervoort, Station B, Omaha, Neb.
| A liberal commission will be allowed
recruiting officers, Legion scouts, and

help make a campaign fund by han
ding them; also the press will find it
profitable.
AS soon as you see it you will have it,
and to those who cannot afford it we
say, go out and take five orders and we
Will send one free. Anyone can do
that. We must have money for this
work and for 1896. If the members of
our party will use self-denial and take
this certificate and canvass for it, we
can raise it. The 10 cents entrance
fee, 10 cents annual dues, and the in
come from this certificate should raise
this money. 1t will if you want to win
You throw away on useless objects the
money we need.
1t is we'll known that have given all
my time and of my family without a
! dollar pay. We are out over $500 now
and have large printing bill which
we must pay. We offer you more than
your moneys worth. All the proceeds
will go into the work of organizing
the Peoples Party and campaign work.
Every human being that even sends
one stamp to this Office gets credit for
it on our books, and we appeal to all to
at once send in their orders. 1t is but
little. Do without some luxury, or
necessity, even, for one week and send
for one.
IL we win we must have money.
If l was not annoyed by debt, har-
assed and worried, l could do ten times
better work. Quit contributing to
other sources and combine all your
energy and all the money you can spare
in this effort. 1t is our only hope.
If you can allow it to fail we will be
bankrupt in 1896, and be overwhelmed
and the nation be destroyed. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty Act
