vance, for it is the custom to fix the
rate Of interest and duration Of the
bonds so that the interest will
amount to more than the princi-
pal.
No one can fail TO see the praCtic-
ability of this proposed plan. tt
would be worth more than all the
measures that have been passed by
congress during the last 100 yearp,
because il strikes at the very root
OF all monetary trouble, interest.
There would be no enforced idleness,
but there would be Q market for
everything che people could produce,
because everybody would be earning
something and would be able to buy.
The occupation Of the usurers and
bend brokers would be gone, but
they could put their money into le-
gitimate enterprises, and public i'm
provements would keep pace with
the growth Of the country.
Il would not be out Of place to say
that Mr.. Coxey is not the originator
Of this idea, but he has been a per-
sistent champion of it and is entitled
to credit for doing more than any
other man toward calling public at
tention to it. Tie idea should be

There is too much truth in the first
sentence. The ignorant merchant,
manufacturer or farmer goes to the
bank for a loan and incidentally asks
the banker what is the cause Of these
frequent periods of depression. Just
like the goose going to counsel with
the hungry fox. Would anything
but goose expect to get good ad-
vice from such a source? Would
anybody expect the banker to tell his
customer that the money system by
which he (the banker) was growing
rich, was wrong? Not much. He
will tell him that everything will
be right as soon as confidence is re-
stored, and that the way to restore
confidence is to keep right along in
the old path and not encourage any
of these new ideas.

SUBSCRIBERS ARE REQUESTED.

By comparing Populist papers
with those of other classes the reader
will discover that a certain class Of
advertisers are careful to patronize
only those that are not Populist.
This spirit of prejudice effects
papers Of general circulation
more than local papers, for in many
localities the local dealer cannot sf-
ford to boycott any paper. If he
did he would suffer worse than the
publisher whom he boycotted.
To illustrate: A despicable organ
of monopoly published at Kansas
City is furnished to subscribers at
25 cents year, and it is taken by
thousa nds of Kansas Populists be-
cause it is cheap. By reason of the
low price the publishers would lose
money were it not for the advertising
patronage. "A Populist paper with
the same amount of readers as the
one referred to above could not Sc
cure half the amount Of advertising
at the rates necessary to make q 25-
cent or a 5O-cent paper pay, because
of this prejudice and this purpose to
crush reform literature. All this
will change in time, but until it does,
the reformer who has faith in his
party paper will do what he can af-
ford to sustain it.
You can do it in two ways: First,
induce everybody you can to SUBJ
scribe and pay for the paper, and
second, pstronize those who sdver-
tie in ii, if you can do so without
loss to yourself. People who adver-
tise their business like to receive let
ters from readers of newspapers.
When they do they know their ad-
vertisement has been read.
The ADVOCATE probably has a bet
ter advertising patronage than any
other Populist paper, yet we must
say that the publishers main de-
pendence is in the subscribers. We
want to publlse at a small margin Of
profit, but we want plenty of sab
sCribers.

AT THE UsURY CONVENTION.

At the last annual meeting Of the
Iowa Bankers association, which
was duly opened with deVout prayer,
the president, Simon Oagady, Of Des
Moines, said in his address:
II in 1875 6.7 and the bankers and
sound money men had been organized as
they are now organized, and had spoken
out as they are speaking now; had started
out on a campaign Of education as they are
starting out now, Che grssnbaOk would long
ago have been wiped out, the silver lunacy,
before it wrought inOal0ulsble damage,
would have been confined TO che asylums
where IL belongs, and Populism would
have been promptly swept back into the
holes Of los native prairie from which it
originally emerged.
Exactly so. The gentleman is ex-
aCtly correct as to results If he is
right in the assumption that there
would have been no revolt against
the bankers plans. In that case the
country would now be so firmly in
the grasp Of the usurers that their
escape would be next to an impossl-
bilty. The bankers would not own
the country, but they would be 80
safely in control that they would not
even haveKuse for the reverend sy-
cophant who prayed at the COnven-
tion. He would be with the other
side praying "LOrd, deliver us from
the oppression Of the uaurers."
Taking a more careful view OF it
we are not sure but what it would
have been much better for us all il
the bankers educating" process had
begun earlier. Their devilish de-
signs might have been understood
by the people that much earlier, and
| il might have been that by this time
the whole iniquitOus, ,damnsble system
would be destroyed and the people
be enjoying the fruits Of system Of
currency and banking that wouldnot
compel them to feed and fatten a
horde Of conseiencelesS interest
sharks. It might have been 80.

places on the way, in response to the

Mr. Coxey's appearance strikes the
average mind as that of a plain,
practical man of no wonderful talent
or polished manners, but with plenty
Of good, common sense and a
system full of energy to back it up.
His talk is slightly tinged with ego
tism, but one does not notice that
after getting acquainted with the
man.
He talked at this meeting on his
favorite subject, q plan to employ
idle labor, or rather abolish idleness,
make public improvements and solve
the money question, all at the same
time. The plan is q practical one
and ought to meet the approval OF
every class Of people except those
who live on interest. Il is to have ma

would accept the non-interest bonds
OF cities, towns, counties or town
ships, and issue to those cities, towns,
etc., nearly their face value of legal
tender paper currency to pay for the
public improvements for which the
bonds were issued. To illustrate;
If the people of county wished
to build q court house they might
vote to issue, say a 100000 bond,
The bond would be deposlted with the
United States treasury department
and against 1t would be issued say
$99, 600 dollars Of paper currency
The remaining $1,000 would be tC

rency and keeping the accounts
This currency would so to the
county that issued the bond, and be

The county would be required tC

each year to pay the bond. Esct

PATCHDN WINS.

Chicago, August 2.-Joe Patchen today
won the great match race against John
K. Gentry in straight heats. The race
took place on the famous Washington
Park track, but as a wind, which
amounted to almost gale, blew all the
afternoon, sensational time performance
was out Of the question. Three heats
were covered in 2:O5A, 2;O711, 2:O7A. New
ertheless, the contest is regarded as one
of the most important that has taken
place on the trotting or pacing turf.
Patchen's victory was decisive, and
seems to put his claim to first place
among harness racers beyond dispute.
Twelve thousand people saw the race
and the fact that betting was prohibited
did not deter the crowd from showing
degree of enthusiasm that is seldom
equalled at horse races. Gentry was un-
doubtedly slight favorite in the public
weil wishers, but Patchen was cheered
just the same In what little betting
there was outside of the track Gentry
also ruled favorite at about 10 to Q.

Omaha, August 22.-If ever effort was
made to conciliate any warning elements
in the ranks of Nebraska Democrats, 1t
was in evidence at the state Democratic
convention today. Prior to the sEssion
there was some talk about the silver
and gold wings of the party combining,
but If such plan was seriously contem-
plted it was early abandoned.
From o'clock, when Chairman Smith
convened the body, until II tonight, when
the curtain went down in the hall, sill
yer was the only apparent financial prob
lem before the convention. But it was
essentially a convention of the advo-
Gates of the white metal in the party and
the other wing ignored. The gold wing
will convene at Lincoln September 8.
The following nominations were made
by acclamation: Supreme court judge,
%. ]. Phelps regents of the state uni
versity, DR.. H. S. Blackburne and j. j.
Keetle. After speeches Of minor import
ance, bubbling over with silver senti-
ment and opposition to the A. P. A., the
resolution committee reported resolutions
declaring for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. They
deprecate and denounce as un-American
and subversive of the principle of free
government any attempt TO control the
action of the political parties of this
country by secret cabals or organizations

and recommends a renewal Of the policy
of his first administration in that re,
gard.
A delegate attempted to place the fol-
lowing before the convention as a mi
nority report: 1--WE commend the ad-
ministratlon of President Cleveland as
being able, patriotic and honest, and re-
affirm the platform adopted by the DEM
ocratic national convention in Chicago
in 1892"
Scarcely had the first word been ut
tered when the whole convention was
protesting. There was such O roar that
order was not established for ten min
utes, when the offending resolution was
tabled.

GAMBLERS QUARREL.
Dispute over Bet Almost Ended In

A dispute over a s. bet came nearly

Two gamblers were playing cards in a
saloon when a dispute arose as to who
won the pot. The temper OF one OF the
players got the best Of him and he
grabbed the stakes. The other then chal-
lenged him to fight, which was agreed
to and the men in company with two or
three others started up the street with
the intention Of settling the difficulty
at a convenient point upon the hill.
When opposite the merry-go-round, on
Commercial street, one Of the gamblers
suddenly drew a revolver, and aiming Il
straight at tie breast Of the other, pull
ed the trigger. The fact that the pistol
failed TO go ON is the only reason that he
is not in serious trouble. The man at
whom the pistol was aimed Informed

last evening no arrests had been made.
