The dispatches from western Ne
braska of the people starving and
freezing are more horrible than the
famine year in Ireland. Hundreds
are dead and others crawling about
insane from starvation. And in
the cities of the land the idlers are
holding balls and banquets, rioting
in luxury and having a gay time
from the profits robbed from these
and other working people. Great
system of government Poor peo-
pie should vote and yell for the old
parties that protect and guard
their liberties! Do you think that
such wrongs inflicted on people
win not pay the penaltyI Yes, in

a money that will be acceptable to
Rothschild, Kitchener & Co.
If our statesmen would read a
ten cent primer on finance they
might learn that trying to gold
plate all the money of this country
for the benefit of foreigners is a
silly scheme to contract prices and
get the peoples produce for moth
ing, double rents, incomes and in
terests.
They might learn that if for
eigners really want gold it would
be ten times cheaper for us to buy
the gold from the miners and pay
for it with legal tender paper mon
ey and ship the gold to them for
what we owe them, let them have
it all if they want it, we have no
natural demand for it in this coun-
try except for its use in the arts
and sciences, all other demand is
artificial and law made, and we
would to God that it was all ex
ported to England and Baron
Rothschild forced to keep it, and
that the first lobbyist he would
send to congress or parliament to
bride a law through creating a de-
mand for it should have a ''mill-
stone hanged about his neck and
cast into the sea-"
There it absolutely nothing else
the matter with our finances, ex
cept the result of the efforts OF
congress to legislate in the inter
est of British bondholders.
Our revolutionary ancestors
would have hanged this congress
as traitors and shot the British
bondholders on sight.

A Sensible Idea.

Mr.. FL. Mannheim, spent a portion
of last week in New Orleans, La.
looking after business interests for
tho coming season. While there,
he visited prominent cotton brok.
ers, commission merchants, bank
ers and other business men and he
told us that the sentiment was
entirely in favor of a great reduc-
ton in the acreage of cotton this
year. That commission merchants
told him, that they would advance
money to the planters to buy cot
ton now where they would agree to
plant none, as cotton can now be
bought mnch cheaper than it can
be raised, and that it the farmers
would buy cotton instead of rails
ing it, the price would 60 up so
high before fall that they would
make large profit, and at the
same time their farms could be-
planted in crops that would supply
their farms for the year 1895, so
they would not have to buy any
supplies from the merchants.
On the other hand if they plant
cotton the price will remain low
and they will not have the home
supplies on hand.
We asked Mr.. Mannheim if he
would furnish supplies to his GUS
toners where they did not plant
any cotton, but where thcy author:-
lied him to buy cotton for them.
He said yes, he had much rather
supply man money to buy cotton,
and supplies to make o supply
crop on, than to furnish a man to
make cotton as he would be much
more certain of getting his money,
and his customers would be much
surer of having something left af.
ter paying for his years. account.
We advise ali our readers to see
Mr.. Mannheim about this matter,
for we think there is something in
it worth looking after. Don't drop
this thing without looking into it.

On the first page of this paper
under headlines, legal Tender
Money" will be found quotation
from Tiffany, the greatest of con-
stitutional lawyers.
If our readers will memorize
this definition Of money they will
know more about the true financi-
al question than three-fourths of
our congressman ever will know.
Mr.. Howell, who is scholar,
though farmer, a politician though
an honest man, a 6nancier though
a comparatively poor man, sent
this clipping to the Daily Picayune
asking comment thereon. The
Picayme would not dare refute or
deny it, but tried to explain it away
by saying tnat though congress
had full power 30 make any kind
of money a legal tender in this
country, it could not force such
money to circulate in foreign
countries or to be accepted in pay
ment of foreign obligations.
We suppose then, just what we
have always believed, that con-
gress is legislating for our bond
holders who live in foreign coun-
tries, rather than for the people Of
the United States, trying to make

MONTGOMERY, La, /
January 10Th, 1895. {

ED. POPULIsT Il want to say
to your readers who toll for the
support of their families, that I'M
less we rally at once to the call of
our congressman, Mr.. Bailey, we
might as we'll Danish all hope of
ever freeing ourselves from the
financial oppression brought on us
by the old parties.
1t is hard to think that we did
our duty as best we cOuld-run
one of our best men for congress,
voted for and elected MIN, and now
because we have not the money to
fight the contest, we have to snb-
nit to being ruled by one who
cares nothing for our interests.
If our law makers had not been
for the last ten years, of such men
as Ogden, we would have had JUS
tlce all these years, and consequent
ly we would now have some money
for any purpose as just and noble
as this one.
But if We do not make the best
effort of our lives i'll this fight, the
same conditions that now harass
lis, will continue, and my friends
we must not let it pass without a
vigorous protest.
Let us get on hustle, redouble
our energies and raise every dime
we possibly can, because in so do
ing we are working for the uplift-
ing of humanity from its present
thralldom; and for human liberty,
and laying a foundation for the fu.
ture hope of our children.
Yours for equity,
