THE POPS SPOUT.
the Money Question the One Great
Issue-An Address by the POpu-
list Leaders.

Washington, Feb. 1G.-The Populis
members of the senate and house who's
names are attached, besides the Others
whose signatures are given, have issuet
the following address:
To the members of the Peoples party, greet
ing:
AS early as 186566 a conspiracy was
entered into between the gold gamblers
OF Europe and America to accomplish the
following purposes:
To fasten upon the people of the Unit.
ed States the burdens of perpetual debt
to destroy the greenback which had
brought Us safely through the perils oI
war; tey strike doEn silver asa money
metal and to ceny She people the use OF
federal paper, the two independent
sources of money supply guaranteed by
the constitution; to fasten upon the coun-
try the single gold standard of Great
Britain, and to delegate to thousands of
banking corporations organized for pri-
vate gain the sovereign control for all
time over the issue and volume of all
supplemental paper currency. Thus they
doubled the demand for gold; forced upon
the country an appreciated money stand
ard, entailing an indefinite period of fall
ing prices, robbed enterprise of its just
profits, condemned labor to ldleness and
confiscated the property of debtors.
For nearly thirty years these conspira-
tors have kept the parties Iuarreling over
less important matters, while they have
pursued with unrelenting zeal their own
central purpose.
At the present moment every device Of
treachery, every resource of statecraft
and every artitice known to the interna-
tional gold ring are made use of to deal
final death blow to the prosperity of the
country. They seek to accomplish their
purpose before the blow can be avelted
through the ballot. Their plans have
been long matured and their line is fully
chosen. They address themselves to the
one bject-the money question-in all
of its breadth and magnitude.
This brings the country face to face
with perilous issue which calls for i'm
mediate and united action on the part of
the people. Every behest of patriotism
requires that we shall at once meet the
issue and accept the challenge so defiantly
offered.
To falter now is to invite disastrous
failure. We earnestly urge the Populists
throughout the country to concentrate
their entire force and energy upon the
tremendous contention presented, and
thus meet the enemy upon his chosen line
of battle. Invite the aid and co-opera-
ton of all persons who favor the free
coinage of silver at 16 to l, and the issue
of all paper money by the general gov
ernment without the Intervention of
banks of issue, and who are opposed to
the issue of interest-benring government
bonds-in word, extend the hand CT
fellowship to oil who agree with you upon
the money question, which is certainly
the mightiest and most fundamental ques-
tion evolved during the century.

Children's Day, the great summer fes-
tival Of the Sunday school, with its feast of
roses, grows in Importance year by year,
and the cool temperature last Sabbath
added greatly to the enjoyment of the ex-
ercises by the little folks and the flower
like faces and the filmy frocks of the little
ones crowned with dainty summer hats
garlanded with flowers were a bright and
fitting tribute in their advent with the
"rose season." This beautiful custom oh
tains not only in the United States, but
throughout Europe and even to the farther
most bounds of India, the second Sunday
in June is set apart for children's praise.
The offerings for the day are usually made
for missions. The Presbyterian Sunday
school missionaries alone organized last
year over 900 Sabbath schools. In four
years over 277 Presbyterian churches have
grown out of these new schools. And
since 1887 the contributions have amounted
to nearly S7OO, ,OOO All of these had their
impetus in the pennies offered on Children s
Day so early may they be taught the spirit
of giving.

Kirlin, the druggist, distributes circulars

an illustration. If the circular is held i'm

was embarrassed. cts strange" remarked

nothing in it only a little joke of mine to
get the people to look at the card. -

Despite the existence of an ordinance
against the firing of crackers and other
noisy explosives, the practice has become
almost as common as though the young
sters and not few adults were celebrating
the Fourth of July. This is not only a
nuisance to common-sense, quietly disposed
people. but in many cases is source of
danger. In number of cases cannon
crackers have been exploded. In others,
crackers have been placed in bottles and
exploded, shattering the bottles and send
ing the splintered glass in every direction.
In others, property has been endangered
and in a variety of ways serious mepaces
to individual safety have occurred. The
public is prepared to submit on the Fourth
of July to one day of the firing of crackers,
and explosives. But this commencement
Of the practice weeks ahead of that date
is a nuisance and should be summarily
suppressed.

Whatever else may be said of the times,
it cannot be truthfully asserted that the
politicians are not fully alive and active.
Although this is an off year, it is the one
that precedes the presidential election, and
more than this, the issues likely TO become
the leading ones in the national election
are at this time so almost hopelessly en-
tangled that it will require more skill than
that possessed by the average lawyer to
unravel and assort them for the use of the
several great party conventions. The
sharpest and shrewdest politicians are not
yet able to define a line of policy that will
prove most effective for their respective
parties Perhaps order may be brought
out of the present apparent chaos and the
presidential election be gone into with the
leading issues so clearly defined that the
voters will have no difficulty in determin-
ing which side is to be supported but
great deal will be required in order to bring
about such result.
