AS to the Future Policy

The following are Senator PETERS
views as to the future policy of our
party.
"Populists wisely placed the money
question first in their platform. Ti.a
money power now agrees with us tina;
this is the leading issue of the time.
It's representatives in high places have
removed from the statue books the
last vestige of law re curing the coin
age of silver dollars and the issue oil
paper money. They have brought the
business of the country to q gold
basis; they have stopped the coinage
of all orher kinds OF money and now
they propose to withdraw from circu-
lation our government paper and sub
stitute bank notes in its place, thus
placing the peoples business affairs
at the mercy of the spectators We
can not escape the issue if we would.
1t is upon us The practical question
for US to determine it, how can we
best concentrate the voice and vote of
men who take the same view that we
do of this great and pressing issue? A
proper discussion of the money ques.
ton involves every idea in the Popu-
list platform. We need not and ought
not to abandon a principle we hold
dear, but we can press our leading
idea more boldly, more aggressively
and more exclusively than we have
done, and with this key solve the
problem yet to come.

REPUBLICAN TIMES"
THE G. o. p. IS NOW ON
TRIAL.
With the Certainty OF q Republican

The following is the sweet refrain
that comes into the Office of tie State
every afternoon. Going, going, last
call, fine span of mules, SOS, going,
last call, sold for s26"! These are
good honest republican dollars,
twenty-six of them buy a pair Of
mules. Going. last call, horse, har.
ness and cart for Sl3 25, going, going
last call, and sold for $685." Honest
dollars; thirteen and one quarter Of
them buy horse, wagon and bar.

cratic tickets you whelps; going, last
call, fine 9.year-old tilley, all sound
and going for 81.
Last call and sold for ST." 1t takes
2-year-old FLY to get seven of them.
Which way did you vote at th1 last
election You poor devil of a farmer
who exchanged the 2.year-old filley
for seven honest dollars. "Going,
going, third and last call, fine horse
and saddle sound in every limb and a
good riding pony. Going, last call
and sold for 1915" good honest dol
lars; none of your silver basis about
them. 1t is only the horses that are
on the silver basis Vote that way
you whelps; vote for an honest gold
dollar and put your horses upon sill.

And the above scenes can be seeu
every day, and are seen By 20 farm
ers of Oklahoma county, and the poor
devils look on as though It was huge
joke on the poor devil who is CON-
PEELED to make the sacrifice. The
other day a mule sold for ST. and
dropped his ears in shame to think
that he was worth so little. But 200
farmers stood by and it did not cause
a blush of shame to come over their
cheeks. The mule had sense enough
to know that the transaction was a
devilish shame. The poor dupes Of
farmers had not sense enough to
know it. They belong to the yellow
dog crowd that vote the ticket
straight" one of them voted as he
shot; another one of them was born
democrat, his father was a democrat,
and his fathers father was demo
crat and he sucked democratic milk,
and to tell the truth lie was still a
calf; and when night came they all
went home to raise mules to buy
honest dollars, the kind of which it
takes mule to get seventeen. And
when election day comes we have to
pit our intelligent votes against an
animal of that kind-not the mule
but the mainland they call this popu-
lar government.

THE opposition to free coinage of
silver is that it would increase the
amount of money in circulation. Do
you think the fellows who want to
demonetize silver will expand the cir

bankers to get hold of more to
squeeze?

THE only objection the bankers find
to the Baltimore plan is that it does
not provide to pay them interest on
the 80 per cent security they deposit.

rows from don't pay interest on the
security.

INCREASE THE WATER TAX.
Davis said The Water Works are in bad
condition. He wanted it understood
that, as a membe of the Water Commit
tee, he did not want to be held RESPONSE
bic for what might occur on account of
the bad condition of the works.
Lawton said he had examined the
funds of the city and found that S24. $50
Will be on hand December 81, 1895, alter
deducting the amount due the bond
holders. This sum, he said, should be
devoted to the purchase of a new pump.
The income from the Water Works
should be increased several thousand dol
lars. The question is, shall All election
be called to purchase a new pump? He
was satisfied that the people will vote in
favor OF the proposition if 1t is submitted
to them. By stringent economy the
pump could be paid for out of the gen.
eral fund.
Tozer agreed with Lawton. He sug-
gested that the amount could be obtained
by raising saloon licenses.
WHY NOT HAVE A PAIR?
Leonard SAID he was in favor of two
5000, 900 gallon pumps, instead of TO-
600, ,OO0-gallon pump. If the larger pump
should break down, the city would be in
a sorry plight. If two pumps were pur-
chased, one Of them could be used and
the other held ready for use i'll case of an
emergency.
IMPROVEMENTS NECESSARY,
Mayor Steinman said the other day he
was served papers IN suit against the
city for the recovery of nearly half a
million dollars. The city should be inn
proved, and should not be placed in a
position TO be liable for damages that
might accrue on account of insufficient
foresight on the part Of those in control
of city affairs. The city needs a new ire
engine, and other things. He was in
favor of two 5000, ,000-gaIlon pumps. lie
was willing to GO to San Francisco with a
member of the board and ask the bond
holders to fOrego their demand for the
pound of flesh SO the cost Of the pump
could be taken out of the general fund.
This city, he said, is far better Oft to-
day than any city in the State. The
bondholders pay no taxes here, and can
afford to let the city OFT on the payment
OF the bonds for 1895. The city Will be
out OF debt in 1890.
HELP, CASSIUS, OR WE SINK ~
Devine moved that President Lawton
be authorized to accompany the Mayor to
san Francisco to consult the bondholders,
ana the motion was carried.
Lawton said if the bondholders gave
way, so much the better. If they would
not, then he was in favor of the board GO
ing right ahead and purchasing the pump,
Bids should be advertised for immedi-
ately.
Leonard also was in favor of advertis-
Ing for bids Immediately. The Stevens
pump should not be relied upon. 1t is
an expensive pump and unreliable.
Lawton moved that the Mayor be au-
tnorized to direct the Chief Engineer of
the " ater Works to obtain plans and
specifications for the necessary pump.
Inc motion was carried, and the board
adjourned.
