PREPARING FOR GOLD-BUG WAR
ola ying Anchors to Windward."

Special to the St. Paul Dispatch.
Washington, March Ex-senator
Villas arrived here this morning and
called at the White House. It is be-
lleved by some that the senator is at
the head Of the movement looking to
the denomination of Cleveland. He
held a lengthy interview with the
president this forenoon. A delega-
ton OF Chicago bankers and business
men will arrive this evening to urge
Cleveland to visit Chicago next month
and deliver an address on the finan-
cial issues. Villas has urged the presi-
dent to accept.
We have many intimations that the
Money-power is rallying around Cleve-
land, and proposes to make him the
Gold-bug, Rothschilds candidate for
third time s fot' the presidency.

working to funi5e the Plutocratic
Democrats and Republicans in new

land again in eyhe white House. The

TEMPERANCE AND POPULISM.
AN ANSWER.

We publish letter in another col
umn frcln Mr.. G. R. Sandvig. Our
correspondent does us an injustice
unwittingly of course.
We are in favor of abolishing the
use of alcohol as beverage. We consid-
er it a great, silly and destructive
practice;-an inheritance from the
barbaric period of the races develop
ment,-and still maintained through
the conviviality, good-fellowship and
folly of the children of men. If there
was no greater question before the
American people we should throw our
whole energies into the work of trying
to abolish the traffic, But, according
to our view, the questions involved in
the Omaha platform are of infinitely
more Importance to the people than
the temperance question. Drunken
ness attacks only those who drink-or
those dependent upon them; but the
contraction of the currency affects the
whole world and breaks down the pros
perity of drunk and sober alike, and
tends to drive them all into the DOOR
house. Let our correspondent look
around his own township. He will
probably not find one out of hundred
who suffers from the drink habit; but
everyone Of his neighbors is poorer;
his land is worth less than it should
be; his crops are worth less than they
cost to raise; the demand for his pro-
auctions has decreased, and the out
look is darker for himself and his DOS
terity, because of the wrongs done by
the Plutocracy.
Now every man wants to correct
these evils. How shall we do it? By
combining all men who are in favor
OF few plain propositions; viz;
l. The reconciliation of silver.
2. The furnishing of an increased
supply of currency to the amount of
$50 per capita.
8. The use of the lands by the peo-
pie for homes; and the driving of alien
non-residents from the possession of
the soil of this country.
4. The naturalization of railroads
telephones and telegraphs.
We think there are enough in favor
OF these propositions to carry the
country in 1896. But suppose we add
on PrOhibition;-that will drive off
part OF our votes. Then add Woman's
Suffrage;-that will drive off still
more. Then add Single Tax and that
will drive them off by the hundreds of
thousands. And so we may go on un-
til there is nothing left.
Is it not wiser to bite off only as
much as we can chew? We will keen
the rest on plate warm. The world
is not going to come to an end in 1856.
Let us get possession of the govern
ment, and the discussion on all other
questions will go on. Now nothing

quences follow debauch the excess and
not the brandy is habtually blamed.
M ore money also makes higher prices
and gives a certain stimulus to in
dustry and trade 1t makes the coun-
try feel good, and if disaster follows
it is easy to attribute it to "a drop too
much, or to any other cause whatever,
excepting the inherent and inevitable
influence of an artificial stimuiant,
which, as surely as it produces an un-
natural elevation of feeling, will also
produce reaction and depress ion. So
it comes to pass that there are many
intelligent and benevolent men who
are in favor OF hard drinking and in
tlation. The immediate exaltation
they delight in, while some of them,
calmly measuring the consequences,
deliberately choose the private or ma
tiOnal intoxicantS because they want
to get all the fun out OF life while it
lasts. The believers in any kind Of
imitation are able to deceive them
selves very easily All experience
teaches that national headache and
billiousness follow national fat
money indulgence of any sort, but
can get great deal more fun out of a
try, and pay great deal less for it in
subsequent reaction and suffering."-
Minneapolis Times.
This gives away the whole argu-
ment. 1t comedies that an abundant
currency will produce good times and
make the people feel good" And why
should they not have good times and
feel good? Is the present condition
of soup-houses, bankruptcies, suicides,
murders and misery the natural and
normal state of civilized man? Ifit is
then give US the drunk" by all
means. The reaction cannot be any
worse than the deli1,ium tremens we are
now experiencing.
And why should we endure our pres
ent sufferings? Because if we don't
we will fly in the face Of certain the
cries? Whose theories? The theories
of the money-lenders. Worthy gentle
men! Natural philanthrophists!
And what are their theorieso
One is that all humanity, it's des-
tiny, its expansion, its happiness, are
tied to couple of accidental metals.
that came on the earth no one can
tell how or when or whence. Why are
they not tried to soap-stone and ashes
tOs? Or pig-weed and molasses-candy?
Another theory is, that after the
world, for probably 10000 years, had
used two of these metals jointly that
now. in this latter end OF the nine
tenth century, with population and
productive capacity increasing at a
rate never known before in the his
tory of the human race. that now, of
all times in all the ages, it is necessary
to throw away one of these metals, and
base the whole business of the world
on the remaining stuff, which is being
used in the arts nearly as fast as it is
dug out of the earth.
The third theory is that money is
much more important than men; and
that if we have to choose between a
high standard of the former and a
high standard of the latter, we must
keep up the price of our securities,

pie-bald and perspiring Populist phil

tempest-tossed governor, who, only a

larry abusing railway magnates,
threatening to place them in stripes
behind prison bars, declaring that
corporations were the legitimate
children Of the cormorant," is now

Coming Over to Betray Us,

at is with the greatest, pleasure
that We are able to. note mighty
change in the treatment of the silver
question, by the advocates of the
gold standa rd," which has taken
place during the last four months.
This change is one involving the
and the use Of the lowest billingsgate,
to one of respectful inquiry, honest
criticism and decent argument.
These changes are as notable in the
morning papers published in the
Twin Cities as can be found in any of
the publications of the country: nor
are we surprised at the change which
has taken place.
"The money question" is the ques-
tion of the hour. the all important
question before the nation, and is the
question that must be settled in some
form, before even the dawn of pros
porous era can possibly take place.
Again, abuse is not arguments;
billingSgate may be humorous and
often give pleasure to the casual and
careless reader; but abuse and
billingsgate never convinced human
being, seeking for information with
an honest desire to ascertain the
truth; for such desire must be graft
fed only through the logical and rea-
soning processes Of the mind. Penny
Press.
All this is true. But we interpret it
that the old party papers have reach
ed the conclusion that with all their
abuse and all their sophistries they
cannot longer fool or b.fuddle the peo-
pie on the money-question; and they
are casting about for some means to
trick the people and foil Reform.

Italians Not Held at Pooahentas Against
Their Desire.
wAsHIEGToN, May 23.-On Tuesday the
department Of state, at the instance OF
Baron Fava, ths Italian ambassador tele-
graphcd the governor of Virginia that it
was represented that 1875 Italians had con-
tracted In New York to work for the
Southwest Virginia Improvement COM
pany as stone cutters, and that Baron
Fava was advised that they were being ill
treated, deprived OF food and detained by
force at Pocahontas. The company, 1t
was charged, was endeavoring to force the
Italians to work in the coal mines in place
of striking miners, contrary to their con-
tract, and Virginia troops, IL was said,
were coercing them.
Tho department requested the governor
to institute prompt Investigation and
give due protection in case of need, should
their contract be violated. Yesterday the
department received telegram from
Governor O'Terrall saying that ho had
communicated with the commandant of
Virginia troops al Pocahontas and had
been informed By Am that rations were
issued daily b. italians; that they had
brought with them good supply OF bread
and sausage and seemed TO have Aome
money, and that there was no suffering or
destitution; that 1874 were at work, and
that l06 not desiring to work were put
upon the cars and returned to New York.
Tho governor said that he was sure
these men were put under guard simply
as precautionary measure. These facts
were promptly communicated to Baron
