A PARTY TOO BIG TO HOLD A SINGLE
GOLDBUG.

The frightened Democratic bosses
are now claiming that the party ma
chine is big enough for goldbugs
and bimetallists. The old machine
Is in bad repair and is threatened
with a short crop rather than an
over-production Of voters.
Yes, the Democratic patty is big
enough for both Grover Cleveland
and an honest farmer-big enough
for both shylock and his victim;
yes-big enough for both as long as
the former is willing to be feeced by
shylock.

Speaking Of the cost Of produc-
ing silver the esteemed Charlotte
Observer sayE
In Mexico the cost II Az cents; In
South America, 1l3 cents; in Austrs-
liz, It the Broken Hill mine, is cents-
Very large quantities Of silver are pro-
duced It these dgures.
Why give the silver miner this ad-
vantage over the copper miner or the
iron miner!
Many producers Of silver would
think the Observer . Wild statistician
if they should zee this statement and
would fatty contradict him in the
light of sad experience.
But-let's grant these statements
for the fun Of the thing. At the
Mann-Arrington gold mine in Nah
con MY, gold il being produced at q
cost of Is cents on the dollar.
Why give the gold miner this ID
vantage over the silver miner?
And we'll all 60 stone-blind;

SAD BUT TOOTRUE.

Associate Justice Brown, of the
United States Supreme court recent
~ said in an address:
''The facts remain that bribery and cor
ruption are so universal as to threaten the
very structure of society. Universal sui.
frage, which, it was confidently supposed,
would innre to the benefit Of the poor man,
chains, and secure to the rich man a promi-
nance in politics he has never enjoyed un-
der restricted system. The out
look Tor permanent peace between Capital
and Labor is certainly not an ENCOURAGING
one. The conflict between them has been
going on and increasing in bitterness for
thousands Of years, and settlement seems
further of than ever"
It is sad fact that this utterance
contains too much truth, even though
it discredits a popular form of gov
eminent. But tho people are respon-
sible for it. 1t is within their power
to revolutionize this condition of
things. If they will not do it peace
ably, they will finally be goaded into
that desperation which will inspire
them to do it forcibly. See History
of Rome, Greece, France &c.
"Let US extend q hearty welcome in
our ranks" say Messrs. Butler, Shuford
and Guthrie in their report upon the
recent Memphis convention, ito ali
men who esteem patriotic duty above
mere old party fealty." Which means
there is q welcome in the Populist par
ty to those members of the old parties
who esteem free silver above every
| thing. There are good many free

Peoples Party.
The Peoples Party is big enough
for every wealth-producer and every
man who il conducting . legitimate
business in America, but it is too big
for the small souled monopolists and
the heartless shylosk. IHis too big
for the man who would vote to pass
laws to bleed millions to make one
millionaire. 1t is too big for the MAJ
who will betray the people to put
money into his own pocket-it is toe
big to hold . single goldbug.
A party big enough to hold men
who have Numerically differen,
views ON these great fundamental
questions is q party without prin
ciples or honesty. 1t is a party Of
traitors and thieves and if houest
men stay in it they will not only ge
robbed but help the traitors to rol
others.

Senator Vest commenting upon
the action of the Democratic State

and perpetuate the national banks

on gold. 81 believe in real bime-

Perhaps the result of the Democratic
cOnve ntiOn of Kentucky was the best
possible for the party. The sound
money men got the platform and the
free cOiners the candidate, SO that each
can claim a victory and both should be
satisfied.-CharlOtte Observer-GOld-
lite.
This is sweetly beautiful way to
let everybody down easy. The say
ing of one thing and the doing of
another should satisfy everybody!
Well. that is just what has been
satisfying the Democratic party. It's
only matter of q little time now to
see whether the people will be salts
fed with this Janus-faced sort of
business any longer.

A party has no excuse for existing
unless it takes decided stand on the
great questions of legislation. The
most important national questions
now effecting the welfare and pros
perity of the people are the currency
taxation and monopoly problems.
Every man should belong to the
party that represents his views on
these matters. Can a man who is in
favor Of making the rich millionaires
pay their fair share of the taxes to
support this government consistently
stay in a party that is owned and
run in the interest of the millionaires1
No! Can a man who is in favor of
free coinage and enough honest
money, every dollar standing on it's
own bottom, to meet the necessities
of business, stay in party that is
run by men who would contract the
standard money of the country to
gold alone 50 that the idle holders of
wealth can grow richer in idleness
at the expenses of the toiling mil
lions7 No! Can a man who is op-
posed to the National banking in
fanny stay in a party that is domi-
mated by bankers and bondholdersf
No! Can a man who believes that
corporations should stand on the
same footing with every citizen
and not be clothed with the power of
special class laws to make them
monopolies to bleed honest industry
and corrupt the government, stay in
a party, the bodies and machinery of
which are owned, body and soul by the

Al special meeting of the Business

i: was made known that the manager
y a large manufacturing plant in an

large weekly payroll would be the
means of circulating quite a large

IN the meeting Of the Business Mems

Sometimes when there Is a proposed

zens will haye to make some invest
ments to make it 90, number discuss
it amongst themselves. or in a business
meeting. to see what the prospects are
Naturally they take a sort of census OF
the business men and try to guess how
much each one will invest.
Now, 1t throws a dampness over the
meeting for some one to break in
and say, "Well, know NJ. A. will not
invest a cent in this thing, and you
need not count On him" Now. sir,
the way to induce man to do a good
thing IS to count on him" and let
him know it. Instead of your dis
couraging' ''declarati on about Mr. A., if
every one present would say "Yes, Mr.
A. Will do his par-he always does, y
and then go and tell Mr. A. what every
one said, he will be apt to fall right in
to line and will do twice as much as
that half-growllng one who says he
knows that A. will not invest anything.
If you want things to move you
must always be hopeful and say you
are hopeful. THAI will make others
hopeful. If you are not going to help,
do pray, don't try to hinder.
"All pull together" should be the
motto.
