l. We demand free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to l.
2. We demand that the amount of
circulating medium be speedily in
creased to not less than $50 per capita.
3. We demand a graduated income
tax.
4. We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as pos
sible in the hands of the people, and
hence we demand that all state and
national revenues shall be limited to
the necessary expense of the govern
ment.
B. We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of all the
earnings of the people and to facilitate
exchange.
Transportation being a means of ex-
change and public necessity, the gov
ernment should own and operate the
railroads in the interest of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the
postoffice system, being a necessity for
the transmission of news, should be
owned and operated by the govern
ment in the interest of the people.
The land, including all the natural
sources of wealth, is the heritage of
The people and should not be monopo-
lized for speculative purposes, and alien
ownership of land should be prohib-
tied. All land now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess OF
their actual needs, and all lands now
owned by aliens should be reclaimed
by the government and held for actual
settlers only.

Professor Laughlin is evidently prov
ing too much and will have to be called
down or he will give the gold bugs
away. In his article of May 9Th, he Is
appealing to the wage earners to op-
pose free coinage as detrimental to
their interests thus: And Just here
is the reason the laborer does not care
to see free coinage Of silver, because
by free coinage the prices of the labor
er's goods would go up double what
they are now." This frank admission
from the gold standard champion
should settle the question 80 far as the
farmer vote is concerned. II you want
double prices. Professor Laughlin says
that free coinage of silver will guar
antee them.
But the professor like all the gold
standard advocates is very versatile.
When he writes an appeal to the farm
ers, he will warn them against free
coinage, because free coinage of silver
will drive gold out Of the country, thus
contracting the volume Of money one
half and as result reduce prices one
half.-Dakota Ruralist.

A Few Definitions.

We have been asked what the term
STANDARD dollar means. 1t really
means a legal dollar as provided by
statute law A standard gold dollar
contains % grains of gold, that is 900
parts in 1000 parts pure gold, the re-
naming 100 parts being alloy. A
standard silver dollar contains Az IL
grains of silver, that is 900 parts in
1000 parts pure silver, the remaining
100 parts being alloy. A single gold
standard means that only gold at the
above weight and fineness shall be
recognized as full legal tender money.
Monometallism means the use of one
of the metals as money, while bimetal-
lism means the use of metals under
similar conditions as money.
Money of final redemption or basic
money as understood and advocated by
the goldbug element is that money
which redeems all others. 1t is that
primary money which is promised to
be paid in exchange for all other form
of currency, and is legal tender for
debts.
Fiat money is law-made money and
includes all forms of money of what
ever material.-The People.

er course may be pursued, the Populist
strength will be given to the Populist
candidates. The Populists have de-
clined in advance to be caught by the
free silver bait, and the planners who
have been so industriously at work
for the last two or three months have
for sale badly battered secondhand
scheme"
In brief editorial paragraph, the
same paper says: let all the peopls
who believe in political action, which
is free from suggestion of bargain and
sale, commend the action OF the Iowa
Populists, who yesterday, almost
unanimously rejected the proposal
looking to fusion and a shady political
dicker. Fusion does not pay, and IL
never will. Indulgence in 1t Will DO
more to break down a party than all
the assaults of the opposition. A party
should have the manhood to stand up
on its own feet and not rely on Dor
rowing wooden leg"
No party that appears to be afraid 10
advocate its own principles will or can
succeed. When honest men leave
party because Of corruption and shady
deals, they are not likely to join an
other one that is apparently engaged In
the same business. II Mr.. weaver
policy had won in the Iowa Conven-
tion, and a fusion could have been ar
ranged between the Democrats anu
Populists. in all probability the gold
bugs would have yielded to the free
silver Democrats in the Democratic
Convention, and the Democratic party
would have remained solid, while the
Populists would have lost votes. AS II
is, the contention between the silver
and gold standard Democrats will be
fierce, and result either in a split
among the party leaders, or in large
number of Democratic voters leaving
the party, most of whom would 1oln
the Peoples party. The Peoples party
of Iowa has done itself credit, and
while it is to be regretted that such
men as Weaver will pursue phantom
for the sake of temporary success, the
cause is to be congratulated that such
suicidal policy has met defeat at the

| Populists this year. There is no party

sugar and other commodities and
charged up to the people. The national
currency thus obtained by the gold
gamblers was in turn invested in in
terest-bearing bonds at par. The in
terest upon these bonds was payable
in coin, and all secretaries of the treas
ury have interpreted coin to mean gold.
The gold sold to the importer, and
paid by him to the government for

back to the brokers as interest, and
again sold to importers at another pre-
MUM which was again paid for duties

this manner the people were plundered

LAWYERS DISGRACED.
or Mutilating the Records In the Howell
Murder Case,sE. M. Harber and -. @.
Knight Are Barred From Prscticing I'm
the Missouri Supreme Court.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 3.-Judge
Sherwood filed an opinion in the su-
preme court in banc yesterday in
the proceedings instituted by Attorney
General Walker disbarring Colonel Ed
NJ. Harber and A. G. knight of Tren-
ton forever from practicing before the
supreme court.
The action was the result of the
murder trial of Joseph A. Howell, who
was indicted for numbering Mrs Net
tie Hall, Linn county widow, and her
four little children. The case was
tried in Grundy county and Howell
convicted of murder in the first degree
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court, and when the case vas called
up for argument the attorney general
found that the transcript of testimony
had been mutilated and forged SO as to
destroy all identity of the murdered
person. In brief, the records had been
SO doctored as to leave the state with
out any case. This matter, being
brought to the attention of the court.
measures were adopted to have the
records corrected and Howell was SUBJ
sequently hanged.
The attorney general then brought
action to disbar the attorneys for the
defense. Major A. w. Mullins, one of
the attorneys, barely escaped by q
divided court, on the theory that he
did not know the records had been
falsified.
This is the first disbarment proceed
ings ever instituted in the state su-
preme court.
Judge Burgess did not sit in the case
against Harber and Knight, but all
the other judges concurred in the
opinion of Judge Sherwood.
Harber has been a leading man in
Missouri for the last fifteen years. He
is quite an orator and Democratic pol
itician and has been a presidential
elector, and was regarded for some
time as an available candidate for con-
gress knight, his partner, is not sc
widely known, but he is a promising
young lawyer.
In his opinion Judge Sherwood
scored them severely for forging the
records and manufacturing testimony

The best answer to the theory that
overproduction of wheat is the cause of
its low price is found in the Corn
Trade Year Book" England, probably
the most reliable authority published.
According to that authority the world S
wheat crop for 1891 was 2,456, ,000, 900,
and the average price was Sill per
bushel. In 1892 the crop was 2,440, 900
bushels, but the price had fallen to 80
cents. In 1893 the crop was the same
as 1891. but the price had fallen to a
fraction less than 80 cents. In 1894
both crop and price were smaller than
any of the foregoing figures, the price
the lowest on record. The same au-
thority also shows that in the period
1854 the population of the chief
wheat producing countries was 397, ,000,-
900, and the production of rye and
wheat in those countries per head oi
population was 708 bushels. In the
next period of ten years, 1SS5-94, with
population increased to $4,000, 900, the
production of both these crops pei
head of population was only 6.S4 bush

a Favored Money I. Always a Robber

A Favored Money Is Always Robber.
There has never been a time in the
worlds history when governments
have issued, or permitted to be issued,
different kinds of money, and have in
any manner given preference for any
one kind above another, that the money
SO favored has not become a mere COM
modify, an article of speculation and
an instrument of plunder. We had
one Of the best illustrations OF this fact
in the case of gold in the United States
during the war period. Everyone knows
that it ceased to circulate as money
and became mere instrument for the
robbery of people. 1t was sold by gold
brokers at large premium In govern
ment currency to importers for the
payment of duties, and this premium

The editor, speaker or voter who Is
in favor of restoring silver to the posi-
ton it occupied under the law previ-
GUS to its decentralization in 1873 will
say SO. He will say in so many words
he is in favor of free silver coinage, in
the ratio of 16 to 1. A man who is
planning some trick by which to de-
ceive the people, who cares more for
party harmony than he does for prin-
ciple, who thinks a tow-string is good
enough backbone for voter, will talk
as the ST. Louis Republic did the other
day:
Being in favor of bimetallism, the
Republic could not be afraid to coin
silver money; provided the coinage was
genuine bimetallism, or, in other
words, coinage at ratio which would
have regard to actual value of the two
metals. There can be no danger in
such coinage as that"
Such coinage as what? Does the
Republic mean a ratio of 16 to 1? You
know it doesn't. If it meant SO it would
say so, for that's the style of the 16 to
/ man.
When a man means 16 to 1 he says
16 to 1. When a man don't say 16 to 1
he don't mean 16 to 1.
How many of the 100000 Populists

comparing the above language of the
st. Louis Republic with that of the
Omaha platform which reads as fol-
lows:
1--WE demand free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the present

Everybody knows exactly what that
language means. But nobody, not even
