eminent loans is that it is not safe to
loan a farmer money on land at the
rate of 2 per cent, but a bank or loan

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Grover Cleveland nor his friends
will be ever be able to drive from the
minds Of many of the people the sus-
picion that he and Mr.. Carlisle shared
in the profits Of the bond syndicate
that bought the last issue of bonds at
1O41s and Immediately resold them at
11615 to 119. The very broad hints
thrown out in the papers all over the
country that the president and his sec
rotary shared in this deal are not to
be mistaken as touching popular SEN
timent in this matter.

Notwithstanding the cotton planters
of the country produced, picked, and
marketed 1,47l,5lS,924 more pounds Of
cotton in 1894 than they did in 1892
the crop Of last fell short over s45,-
100000 Of the crop of 1892. The wheat
raisers lost s136,OOOOO in 1894 over the
crop Of 1892. There has been a CORE
spending loss in all other products,
the aggregate amounting to hundreds
Of millions OF dollars. 1t is astonish-
ing to contemplate the patience and
forbearance Of the American people.

In 1892 the Populists elected BAG
members to the several state legisla-
lures and in 1894 they elected 615, be-
sides nearly doubling theaggregate vote
throughout the country. Look around
you and count the men in your circle
of acquaintance who have left the
Peoples party since the election last
fall and then count those you know
have Joined the new party, or swear
they will never again vote an old
party ticket. Strike the difference and
see if Populism is dying.

From Maine to California, from the
Dakotas to Georgia and Texas-from
all over the countryside cry goes up:
stick to the Omaha PLATFORM All,
that is the shout from freemen-from
men and women with the courage of
their convictions! No temporizing. no
compromises, but straight ahead 1t is
this Spartan courage and heroic devo-
ton to principle that is chracterizing
this the gandest reform Of the ages.
The Oklahoma legislature has passed
law prohibiting fusion Of political
parties. AS the simon-pure Populist
needs no law Of that kind 1t will strike
hard at the old parties. That law was
evidently the conception Of a Populist
brain as means of heading of the
marriage Of the republican and demo-
cratic parties In that territory.
