Mr.. Arnold says the Populists be-
lieve not in free coinage alone, but
also in the issue of all money by the
government, paper included, without
the intervention of banks. This, he
said, was essentially what he stated in
his letter to Mr.. Harvey, which called
forth the above reply. Mr.. Arnold
says the Populists would not go over
to the Democratic party even if it did
adopt free silver. He says the Popu-
lists are many years in advance of both
the old parties on the money question.
Mr.. Harvey's letter is significant in
showing that there is apt to be a split
in the Populist party over the question
of fusion in case the Democrats de-
clare for free silver.

"CRAWFISH NOT A HANDSOME

What the farming States need Ii
prompt relief from the existing con-
dition of things, and this can only be
had, in our Judgment, through the
adoption of a financial policy by which
the Government may issue to the peo'
pie treasury notes at a very low rate
of interest on real estate security.
This may be class legislation, but il
would be of a class that would put th'
great producing States on their fee

Grams. When Mr.. Cleveland was in

Last week Il ruling was made BY the

the effect that hereafter no veteran $
widow should be permitted to draw 4

had q separate income, which, to-
