enlist al In sympathy with the free sill
yer movement, whether Republicans,
Democrats o. any other good thing. Then
the campaign is to be carried on in a
lively manner. This work will be begun
IN the Zenith City, the home of Congress-
man Towne, so that ~ can personally
direct It. Towne has 1ite little fol-
lowing in his home city, who propose to
stand by him. The final outcome of the
move will, however, depend upon the ac-
ton OF the national convention. If the
latter is unfriendly to silver, the
SILVERITES WILL BOLT
and invite others to join their standard.
But during the coming year the work is
to be carried forward in quiet but ag-
gressive manner, so that by the time the
next national campaign arrives, the Re-
publican party will most likely find itself
In pretty state of disruption.
But Towne does not propose to lay
quiet In fact, he will at once take a
most aggressive part in the fight for his
views. It is aforementioned fact that
the Minneapolis Tribune and ST. Paul
Pioneer Press have both been very un-
friendly to the congressman and have on
frequent occasions gone out of their way
to administer rich brown roast to the
leader of the silver wing, in the hope Of
bringing him back into the fold of the
hosts. But the roasts only served to
raise the cOngr esSman's ire until now his
temperament is at fever heat and hard
TO appease. Before returning to his home,
night before last, he formed a resolve,
which resolve is likely to come before the
reading public of both cities in a lively
manner at once, if it is not presented
this morning. And right here the enter
prising Minneapolis papers got left again.
Congressman Towne has resolved to
issue challenge to the Pioneer Press and
the Minneapolis Tribune, which is to be
offered to those papers for publication, in
viting them to furnish a man, or any
number of men for that matter, who are
to discuss with them the silver issue on
four distinct propositions What these
propositions are Mr.. Towne would not say
In advance of the publication of the chal-
lenge. The debate is to be held first in
the Twin Cities or at any place selected
by the papers named. Mr.. Towne pre-
fers to have it take place after Sept. 20,
as the weather will then be cooler and as
this interval will give the selected speak
ers more time for preparation. The de-
monetization of silver is to form an i'm
portant feature of the debate Towne
means business and makes neither re-
strictions nor reservations One speaker
VIII be as acceptable as another and he
places no limit as to their number. He
proposes to air his views plainly and
forcibly before the public.
The result will be awaited with inter-
est. In view of the fact that both the
papers challenged have been constantly
hostile to the wary congressman they
cannot well refuse, it, is held, to Join
issue and furnish the speaker If they
DO furnish the debaters the chances are
they will aid further in the disruption of
their own party.
Fight or retreat" is TONNES motto in
the matter and he proposes to make mat
tiers rather interesting to his adversaries.

GOOD POINTERS.
From Star and Kansan.

from STAR ana NanSan.
Labor supports itself and capital,
too.
Our nation is mortgaged to the
English Shylocks.
Under socialism no woman would
have to sell her body for bread.
Money kings are the most expensive
monarchs the world has ever had to
support.
If the people were as selfish as the
Plutocrats civilized society wouldn't
exist for week.
Free public highways are social
istic fad" The roads used to belong
to private individuals, who charged for
the use OF them.
Income taxes are denounced as
stakes on prosperity" What the rich
want is to have the men who are not
prosperous pay the taxes.
From the time Of bred Scott until
today, where the interests of labor
cCnflicted with those Of wealth, our
supreme court has decided for wealth.
The annual increase of the wealth
Of the world is less than two per cent.
Men and nations who promise to pay
greater interest IMAM CHaU are on
the high road to financial ruin.
Every defender of our free public
school system is to that extent So
cialist. And if socialism is good
thing i n the education Of the young,
why not in other lines OF activity?
The silver question isn't the main
issue. 1t is only a small part of a
great problem. That problem is how
to make a just distribution of the
wealth the worlds workers pro-
duce, and see that no idler robs a
tOiler.

THE PREACHERS.
THEY ARE WAKING UP.

Providence, r. l., has minister
who is banging away at Plutocracy in
great shape. His name is Rev. Ernest
Wesley. and he says the application of
Christ's teachings would probably
revolutionize the world. knocking
present methods Of doing business in
to slivers. 1t is admitted that the
church does not teach the principles
of Christianity because it is controlled
by the power Of money, and that capt.
talism is responsible for political
scoundrelism, crime, vice, poverty and
intemperance. Another preacher,
Rev. George Vaughn. is making him
self obnoxious to the plutocrats of the
same city by holding outdoor meet
ings and lecturing on the providence
of God versus that OF Rhode Island"

last night. For some time the price
of glass has been about as low as it
was possible to make it by the com

MIR. DONNELLY'S BOOK.
The Omaha Bee, che leading Rep

The Omaha Bee, che leading Repub-
lican paper of Nebraska, says:
Mr.. Donnelly's book, like Coin, ap-
plies pencil as we'll as pen in convey
ing to the reader the lessons of
finance, with this distinction, that
his lines are more eloquent and his
pictures more striking and original.
The effects of depression are pictured
in st1ong language. and in Il cunning
way to win the heart of the reader be-
fore reaching the real issue as to what
should constitute the money Of the
people. Mr.. Donnelly lays great
stress upon the effects of scarcity of
money; and the beneficial results &C
cruing from its plentifulness, treating
these conditions rather as causes than
as symptoms that accompany hard
times in the one case and prosperity
in the other. He proceeds to argue
that during war times we had an
enormous circulation, equal to $67 per
capita, whereas we now have but a
per capita circulation of less than 81
The latter figure he arrives at by de-
Quoting for what he estimates lying
in national, state and other banks
and in the treasury at Washinton, be-
sides deducting forshrinkage through
loss in fires. wrecks, etc. The crime of
| 1873 is also rung IN for all it is worth
and some points developed favoring a
belief that Ernest Seyd did actually
visit Was hington prior to the act Of
1913. This is based mainly on the af-
| fidavit of Mr.. Tucker bach Of Denver.
Plutocracy is severely scored and the
"plutOcratic' press roaSte d to a turn,
while the human hog of every brand
and stamp is poked with a sharp
| stick, How much truth there is in
| these denunciations and what rela-
| ton they bear to the cry for more
money each reader will be able to
| Judge for himself.
The Denver Road says:
This is the best work on financial
reform the pen of that famous author
has produced. It exposes the gospel
of greed" the encroachments of the
money power, the evils of currency
| contraction, the results to follow a
government by injunction and the
manner in which trusts and corpora
tlons absorb wealth and control legis-
latiOn.
In style it is entertaining. In clear
and vigorous language it drives home
every proposition made. Its state
ments are based upon indiSputable
proofs and the basic principles of sound
| finance
In the campaign Of 1896 the in
fluence of ''The Peoples Money! will
be widespread and advantageous.
