A shrinkage in the volume of currency has

There is plenty of evidence to prove that an

in quantity, can retain its full value, but there
is abundance of evidence that gold has under

The entire amount of coin in the country, in

NATIONALISM IS COMING.

In the cities, the large department stores are
crowding the little retail dealers to the wall,
and these little fellows must go out of business
and accept clerkships in the big stores or join
the great army of the unemployed. The small
towns need not thiuk they will be able to es-
cape this same system. 1t is only matter of
a few years when one large store will do all the
business of Garnett, at which store you can
buy (if you have the money! any article, from
a paper of pins to threshing-machine-
after the little fellows have been crowded off
the earth $50 to speak,, you will be compelled
to pay whatever price the big concern sees fit to
ask. But, Mr.. Retail Merchant, you must not
kick when that time comes, for, by your own
blind, partisan folly, you have helped to bring
about this state of affairs. You are forging
YOUR own shackles. However, there is a silver
lining to this cloud. You may not be able to
see it, but your children will The time is not
so very far away when nationalism will have
full sway in this country-when the people
the 'government-UncleSa Sam-will conduct all
kinds of business, and there will be no more
combination of capital against labor, and there
will be no big fish to eat up the little ones.

IT is claimed by the Topeka State Journal
(Rep) that the course being pursued by the
Morrill, administration is losing the Republican
party 10, 900 votes per week.
THE new silver party has chartered car,
and will visit the Western states.-Nat1ona
Reformer.
The question now arises, Who pays for that
car? Not the people (directly)-they have no
money for junketing excursions.
WE notice that good many Popullst papers
are running the advertisement of the National
Watchman. The Watchman is traitor to the
Popu1st cause, and is mighty good paper to
let alone It is following in the footsteps of
the National Economist, whose editor sold out
to the Democrats.
WHAT has become of Rev. Dougherty, who
stumped the state for Morrill, last fall and ped
died Republican falsehoods, Gin the interest of
good government help 'redeem" the state
from Joints, lotteries and gambling g-hells? He
seems to have crawled into his hole and pulled
the hole in after him.
A BILL has passed the New York assembly
making state flag. The device upon this flag
should be the British lion surmounted with
crown, and, instead of being surrounded with
stars gold dollars, or, more properly, gold pound
pieces co should surround the rest of the de-
sign That sort of flag would be in keeping
with the spirit which rules New York.
THE Kansas City Journal (Rep.) hits the nail
square on the head in the following item; "The
unpleasant question which confronts Governor
Morrill, just at present is this If Populist
public official is investigated for drunkenness,
why shouldn't drunken Republican officials be
investigated, also? What is sauce for the Pop
ulist goose should likewise be sauce for the Re-
publican gander."
THE Rothschilds are buying up the silver
output of this country, and, in very short
time, they will either make it impossible for us
to remonetize silver, or they will become silver
bugs-and silver-bug is no better than gold
bug. The best plan this nation can pursue is
to demonetize both gold and silver. Unless we
do, we will soon be wholly and irretrievably in
the power of the Rothschilds Mark that!
If the Rogers investigation results in nothing
more, it will unquestionably result in raising
the standard of morals in public officials, and
Cy Leland may yet be hero.-Lawrence Daily
World (Rep.)
Purblind partisans never become heroes. Cy
Lelands attack upon Senator Rogers was from
partisan motives solely. However, If he will
now go to work on Governor Morrill,, State
Treasurer Atherton and the cur who insulted
the young lady in the state house, he may be
able to make the people believe that he is in
favor of "raising the standard of morals i'll
public officials" The fact that Cy is violator
of law himself (an ex-joint-keeper, you know, }
precludes the possibility of his ever becoming
very much of hero.

REFORM PRESS.
Chronicle, Ft. Madison, Ia:

Let the people of America Insist that the
government demonetize both gold and silver and
issue a paper currency redeemable in labor OF
the products thereof. Make it good for all debts,
public and private Make occupancy and use
the only title to land. Then we may have some
reason to boast of our great and prosperous
country and our free American citizenship.
Why doesn't Uncle Sam twist the tail of the
British lion ? Because he doesn't like to twist
the head of the American government. See
"England should never be allowed to land
troops on this continent" But there seems to
no objection to her taking peaceable possession
of our president, cabinet and congress or the
railroad and banking interests of America.
Industrial Advocate, Ell Dorado, Kas.:
A man can't be true Christian without be-
ing in favor of cooperation and opposed to
special privileges.
Now is the time to scatter Populist literature
among your neighbors. While the bands are
silent men sometimes think.
Who pays for the special car on which bank
rupt Mckinley is parading around the country :
The men who pay his expenses will use him.
He is a tool of the corporations and single
stondard lunatics.
It would be lust as sensible to call an inter-
national convention to settle the tariff question
as to settle the money question that way. This
nation must settle the money question for Amer
ica, and let Europe take the consequences.
Populism believes in practising Christianity
in all the relations of man. Not much "anar-
chy'' in that
It might be we'll enough to remember that
Kansas was redeemed last fall That will prob
ably account for the glorious times we are hav-
ing.
State Treasurer Atherton was staggering
drunk one day last week on the streets of To-
peka. But he is redeemer, and probably the
local sentiment where his brains ought to be is
opposed to prohibition. That makes it all
right.
The People, Erie, Pa;
Direct legislation would give the people a
veto OH the making of laws. Congress, the
legislatures or the city could not then be bought
up to vote away valuable privileges. The ref
erendum would require all legislative acts be-
fore becoming law to be referred for approval OF
rejection to the popular vote.
The business men who have been following
the politicians are beginning to see their mis-
take.
All monopolies oppose the Peoples party,
which shows that the Peoples party is the one
that the anti-monopolist ought to vote with
The story that Cleveland has designs on a
third term was evidently started by some one
with the design of precipitating an avalanche

enough mad Democrats in this country now
without increasing the number or volume ot

A Cure for Headache.

have yet to meet the person who didn't
acknowledge it's efficacy after a trial.
Nobody has yet discovered or formu-
lated a reason why such a process
should bring certain relief. Physicians
say that 1t Is probably because the re-
fleX action Of the body brings about q re-
f1ex action on the BRAIN and thus drives
away the pain that when produced by
nervousness is the result of too much
going forward. AS soon as you begin to
walk backward, however, there comes
feeling Of everything being reversed,
and this is followed by relief. The re-
lief is always certain and generally
speedy. Ten minutes is the longest I
have ever found necessary. An entry.
or long narrow room makes the best
place for such a promenade. You should
walk very slowly, letting the ball of
your foot touch the floor list and then
the heel, just the way, in fact, that one
should, in theory, walk forward, but
which, in practice, Is so rarely done.
Besides curing nervous headache, there
is no better way to learn to walk well
and gracefully forward than the prac-
tice Of walking backward. A half hour
of it once a day will do wonders to-
wards improving the gait Of any wo-
man."-New York Evening Sun.

A Born Dfplomat,

s0ft, little hands covered his eyes, and
a sweet voice commanded: Guess who
At is"
Nothing very dreadful for Charley in
this, you think; but, then. you don't
know that Charley was engaged to two
girls, and. for the life of him. couldn't
decide which voice it was, which made
it very embarrassing situation for
Charley. A wrong guess would lead
to complications awful to think Of But
happy thought inspired Charley, and
he announced: TITS the dearest. sweet
est little girl in all the world"
"Oh, you lovely boy!" gurgled the sat-
fsfied one, as she removed her hands.
And now Charley thinks of applying
for a foreign ministry. feeling that his
talents would be wasted in any other
diplomatic field.-Puck.
