Escaping the Horrors of This World
by Flying Red-Hnnded Into the
Great Unknown.
To the Editor.
copy of your excellent paper came to
hand by mail April date of paper, for
which 1 am very thankful. Would be glad
to subscribe for it, but our British Tory en-
emies have got us down to a gold basis,
and in California we have sos of wealth
to 81 in gold; and our horses, that used to
bring from 500 to $500, are now selling at
from 81 to IS head, and everything else
tipes come I will be able to send you 81
for your paper. but now our fight is for
bread and butter; and the enemy have got
the best of u.s.
How 1t makes my heart wither and blood
boil to see, every day, the streets full OF
tramps; and my neighbors calling and tell
ing of their restitution and appealing for
help. God only knows where the help will
come from. Many are so tied to this strife
to get a living in this section, that they
are taking the cut off to get to heaven and
to find rest How frequent the pistol and
other methods are used for the purpose
let the daily papers tell; and Sherman and
But think 1 took my pen to answer the
article "Greenbacks'' by Populist from De-
triot in which he writes of the government
issuing ,OOO,O 900 or 81, OOO COO 900 Of green
backs, which would be all right. But to
have them redeemable in gold in 80 years;
this is where he is playing into our enc
mics hands.
1 would have them read Gin all future
issues), Receivable for all dues and de-
mands;" and not "Redeemable in gold
Let the government make them as they did
under Lincoln's administration; let the
people have the of them at per cent,
instead of the banks at 1 per cent, and let
the government receive the peoples bonds
and the bonds Of municipalities instead of
issuing or per cent bonds to corpora
tons which bankrupt the people to pay
gold bearing bonds.
When the people or municipalities want
money to make improvements. let them
issue bonds to the government drawing
per cent interest payable at the option OF
The money thus obtained will help the
owner to create wealth to pay it back into
the treasury again
AS John Sherman and Grover are crazy
to issue government bonds to banking
syndicates and to foreign goldbugs, let us
see what they will say about receiving
bonds from the people in exchange for
greenbacks; let us see If voluntary interest
paid the government will not run its ma
chinery as smoothly and more equitably
than tax money S. H. DEPUY.

street president for four years from the
4th of March, 1897. 1t is useless to demand
that they join the Peoples party. Some
will do so. but the majority will not The
Popuiist vote will increase, no doubt. az
1t has been doing. but just enough to make
a more equal division and insure the COM
plete triumph of the Republicans, and seat
goldbugism in power more firmly than ever
for another four years.
If the Democratic party should come UNI
der the rule of the gold advocates in the
next campaign. or should attempt to dodge
or straddle the question, the only plan
will be for money reformers of all parties
to consolidate under the banner of the Peo-
pies party and make the best fight pos
sible. Yours, w. G.. SELLERS.

FROM NORTH DAKOTA.

An Earnest PleN to Stand by the
Omaha PlntfOrm-The Trickery of
the Old Parties.
To the Editor:
notice many valuable, able and well
written letters in the Forum of your
great reform paper. Many of the articles
written have been so good that I feel
abashed in trying to say anything. But
as the country and the people seem to be
on the dead run for Gehenna, and as the
old party politicians, with their greed. hy-
pocrisy and vice apparently have things
about their own way, and on down-hill
pull at that, we cannot refrain from max
ing a protest, however weak 1t may be.
Now we wish to say this in speaking of
the two old parties. After they have
beating, and have exhausted the vocabu-
larry of the English language to find vile
epithets to hurl at us, they are changing
their tactics, and more especially so re-
garding the financial question, rather
the silver portion of it. Why, just think
Of the hypocritical critters claiming to be
friends of silvef-stealing the Omaha plat
form, or some portion of it-and trying to
deceive the people into believing that they
arc more than anxious to restore silver to
where it originally belonged as redemption
money.
Now, what is their true object in this
matter? Why, it is to deceive those in
their respective parties who have come to
the conclusion that silver should be re-
monetized and put on an equal footing
with gold. Yes. it is to hold that class in
line in their camp, and keep them from
going over to the reform party. Now, II
an intelligent person will stop to think fol
a moment over their frauds and receptions
he or she will certainly come to the con
clusion that the old fable of the fox an6
chickens, so ably portrayed by Jerry Simp
son in the halls of congress. will sink into
lnsignificance. Yes, tn y love silver. Why
they are as fond Of 1t as the devil is o.
cold hash. Now, gentle reader, do 70,
know the difference between the old part,
politician and the Israelite? Well, tn,
Jews killed our Savior, and the tools O
plutocracy destroyed our silver money
Now, would the Jew be any more of by
pocrite were he to claim to be lover O

STAND FIRM.
Do What Our Enemies Don't Want Us
to Do

To the Editor:
The people in general regard this turn
ing over into the single silver clique OF SO
many of the prominent leaders of the Peo-
pies party as purifying process within
itself and good for the cause. 1t serves to
distinguish the counterfeit statesman from
the genuine, thus preventing their being
chosen to represent the people in leglsla-
ton. What the people want is the Omaha
platform pure and simple. A great part OF
the voters are familiar with 1t, and others
are rapidly becoming so. Any alteration
in principles necessitates delay of at
least eight or ten years more before any
thing can be accomplished.
Mr.. Donnelly said some time ago that
the first thing we should do Is to find out
what corporations, bankers and monopo-
lists would not want us to do and then go
and do it at once.
L believe that there is nothing in the
world which those bloodsuckers nate more
deadly than the Peoples platform, and
constancy is certain to eventually BRING
victory.
