financial question that Eliminates
from the Journal and the Tri-
bune office. Quite number OF
them have already allied them
selves to some OF the Peoples
Party leagues that have been
and are being organized Ill over
our city.
1t is strange, but not at all to
be wondered at, that even some
of the big millers az" beginning
to get it through their dusty
craniunS that it is tough work
to make the ends meet on II con-
tinuouSly falling market. Here
and there one OF them begins to
realize the fact that with Il con-
| tinuouS contractio ion OF the'volumc
of money, prices must continue
to fall aud that at the present
rate it will not be long before
wheat will br down to 20 cents /,
buShcl. They see that the money
values OF their splendid proper
ties have SHRINK until it isdoubt~
full il one OF them could be sold
to-day for onc-half OF what it
cost to build them. This makes
some OF them question very Seri-
uusly whct her it would not he a
pretty good thing for thcE, after
all to have a little Populistic in
natiun OF the currency. And
whether it would not be to their
best intrreStsto have the govern
mcnt control the railroads, there
by removing the power OF the
railway corporations to close
down the mill by simply ordering
in advance in rates of freight,
and at the same time remove the
power Of labor organizations to
paralyzp all business by. inaugur-
atin% strikes upon lines Of trans
portation. These things have
produced a feeling Of respect for
the Peoples Party where former
~ it was held only in contempt,
and has caused il study OF the
princi pie OF the party which, il
persisted in, wili result in the ulti~
mate triumph OF those principles
and the salvation Ofthc country.
