LEARN A LESSON FROM THE MEMPHIS
SILVER CONVENTION.

There have been a small number of
Popullsts who, since this silver move
ment started, wanted our party to
drop it's 'isms" and go in with the
silver men on that issue alone. Such
Populists might learn a lesson from
che republican and democratic silver
men who recently met at Memphis
The proposition of Mr.. Sibley and
his friends that silver men of all par
ties should forsake their former party
affiliations and unite upon the silver
question in a great silver party was
rejected by the democratic and re-
publican delegates. They said their
respective parties had other issues
to fight for that they could not sbsn-
don for this question alone, and they
would make their fight in their re-
speotive parties.
Now, if this is q consistent position
for republicans and democracts, it is
much more consistent for Populists.
Besides, if they are going to make
their fight in their respective parties
where do our Populist friends pro-
pose to go in order to make silver
the only issue, or even the leading
issue next yeaF3 Is it not about time
to stop this nonsense about silver
as single issue, and push forward
our whole line Of battle as already
formedG
Our friend, @. G. Allen, in his
communication this week, says we
must fight where we find an enemy,
and that plutocracy has determined
that free silver alone shall be the
great issue Of the next campaign. In
this he is simply mistaken. There IS
no proposition in our platform that
plutocracy so much fears as the pub
lic ownership of public utilities, the
abolition of land monopoly and the
establishment of government banks;
and upon no other line will we find
the enemy stronger intrenched. We
cannot draw in our lines if we would.
The fight is on and 1t must proceed
to a finish. A contraction of our lines
would be an abandonment Of the
field and che surrender of advantages
that it would require years to regain.

THE POWER FOR EVIL OF NATIONAL
BANKS.

The Capital Of June IL devotes
nearly a column of editorial space to
a comment on Mr.. J. w. SChuckerS
pamphlet exposing the conspiracy of
the national bankers with the presi-
dent and Secretary Carlisle by which
che panic of 1898 was precipitated.
The Capital does not call in question
the facts related by Mr.. Schuckers, or
the conclusions at which he arrives,
but proceeds to philOsophize upon
the conditions which this exposure
brings prominently INTO view. Let
us examine the Capitals. philosophy.
It says:
Whether the charge Of a conspiracy by the
national bank presidents is true OF false
does not matter, so far as the future pros
pcrity Of the people 10 concerned, 81 much
aS whether they can do IL al any time that
conditions permit them 10 get together for
the purpose. Unfortunately that ia true.
The national bank presidents in New York
can alone preCipitate q panic Of FuinouS
consequences upon confidence, credit, val
ues, industry and general buMnesS so long
Rs the treasury Of the United States itself is
in the banking business TO the extent Of is
suing its obligations redeemRble in coin on
demand in degree far beyond its coin re-
served for redemption purposes. So long
as the government 10 a debtor TO the extent
Of BAG millions Of gEsenbSOks not to speak
Of its other demand obligations not backed
dollar for dollar in coin, banks can collect
sufficient Of these payer obligations TO make
q run on the treasury, and 30 long as the
notes are reissued as fast as redeemed, in
stead Of being cancelled az any business
mans notes are, the danger is the more ap
parent.
The statement that the national
bank presidents Of New York have it
in their power to create panic when,
ever they choose to get together for
the purpose is correct; and we desire
thus con fession of the imbecility Of
our republican system Of finance to
be noted. It exhibits the utter in-
compel ency or knavery of those who
have been intlusted with our fnan-
clal affairs. And yet republican pa
pers have been extolling our finan-
Cial system as the wisest and best the
world has ever known.
But the Capital is as much mis-
taken as to the nature OF the defect
in the system as it has heretofore
been in its praise of it. The trouble
is not that the United States treasury
is engaged in the banking business,
but rather that it is not so engaged.
Had the government reserved to
itself the banking privileges which il
has farmed out to these conspirators,
there would have been no national
bank presidents to engage in these
schemes Of piracy. 1t is the very
favoritism bestowed upon these
whelps that gives them the power of
which they thus avail themselves to
plunder the people. The Capital
unWittingly admits this fact in the
following paragraph;
The trouble with the oountFy's financial
system is not its standard Of vRlues-if il
were settled on a silver standard She same

SCnuokeEs' pamphleB only emphasizes this
defect in the fnsnOial system, If is worthy
Of the name Of system, Of this country.
IL is in attempting to do "a partial
banking business" upon a false and
pernicious system that the mischief
is made possible, and it would be
impossible if the government would
assume all of the functions of COM
plete and correct banking system.
Before proceeding farther let us
see if the remedy proposed by the
the Capital would prevent the sue
cess of futRre conspiracies like that
1898. Here it is:
Business will be put on a stable and safe
basis, free from the constant menace of
the government balances, when congress
deViseg a national bank note system thab
will take the treasury out Of the issue busi-
mess entirely and make the banks issue
notes, compel them TO maintain them at
par with coin by reserves and a redemption
fund in the treasury and make their stock
holders liable for lbheiE redemption on de-
msnd, providing also for continual exam
nations Of their condition by public OK.
amineFs.
Now suppose the issue of money
were to be placed entirely in the
hands Of banking corpor atoms as the
Capital proposes and no more treas
uTy notes were to be issued. Is it
not plain that the currency Of the
country would be even more COM
pletelY under the control of the bank
ers who issue it than it is to-day?
The plan here proposed would cause
the banks to hold aI of the specie of
the country for the redemption Of it's
notes 80 that none but bank currency
would be in circulation at all. The
volume Of the bank circulation would
be entirely discretionary with the
bankers. It could be issued or with
held at any time as might suit their
purposes best. Now 1t is well known
that the panic of 1893 was precipi-
tsted by the Withholding of credits.
Would not the Capitals plan clearly
add to the power Of the bankers to
withhold credits? No sane man
can doubt it.
But aside from all this there is an
other consideration that demands
more than a passing notice. Here is
a class of men who are admitted TO
have entered INTO q deliberate con-
spiracy against industry and prop
erty, and to have planned and exc
outed a panic that admittedly cost the
country 10 billions of dollars in fif-
teen months" Instead Of recon-
mendlng that these pirates be hung
as they deserve to be, the Capital de-
liberately proposes that the govern
ment shall completely abandon the
constitutional duty of issuing money
and turn the business over entirely
to this gang Of robbers. Common
sense and decencY, sR well as public
interest, would rather require, even
if they are not to suffer the penalty
of their past crimes, thss the power
which they now possess should be

WOOL MARKET.

Boston, Mass. Sept. 1S.-The Ameri-
can Wool ard Cotton Reporter will say
tomorrow: Except Boston, the wool
markets during the past week have
been quiet and business has been con-
fined mostly to small purchasers: do
mestic wool especially have been quiet.
In Boston, however sales show slight
increase over those OF the preceding
week, but in New York and elsewhere
sales have been moderate. Prices, how
ever, have ruled steady and there is no
weakness disecrnible anywhere. Some
western holders who have been re-
tanning woods at extreme prices may
be little easier to deal with. but this
has no bearing on market prices. Sales
in the markets of Boston, New York
and Philadelphia amount to 6.147. 900
pounds against 4,l40,100 pounds last
year for the corresponding period. The
sales amount to 1885, pounds in Bos-
ton. The market has been more &C
tive this week. Prices for good mer-
chandise remain firm.

Great Interest.
San Francisco, Cal, Sept. 1S.-The
prosecution in the Durrant case will
complete its direct case early next week
The opening statement of the defense
is awaited with much interest. 1t will
be the first intimation Of what it ex-
poets to prove. 1t has been said that
an alibi for Durrant would be shown
and further that another man than
Durrant went into Emanuel church
when the prisoner is said to have en-
tered it.
Today Miss Edna Lucille Turner&vas
the first witness. She is member of
Emanuel church and knows Durrant
She testified that on April she was
not with the defendant in Emanuel
church. Mrs. Leak testified yesterday
that the girl she saw walkink with Dur
rant was either Blanche Lamont or
Lucille Turner.
Organist George King was then put
upon the stand to prove that he saw
the prisoner in the church at m,
April 8, almost an hour after Durrant
was said by Mrs. Leak to have enter
ed the church. King proved on I'M
willing witness, apparently shielding
Durrant whenever possible He ad-
mitted that the defendant and his attor
neys probably advised him to modify
his testimony as given ar the prelimi-
nary examination. This created a
tremendous sensation but on cross ex-
animation he said he had not been ask
ed to change his evidence. He told how
he had come into Emanuel church TO
play a new piece on the organ and after
he had been playing few minutes Dur
rant appeared, pale, disheaveled, breath
less, sick and without hat or coat. Dur
rant had said that while repairing some
gas pipes he had been overcome and at
Durrants request the witness went to
a drug store and purchased some bro
which Durant drank Then
at his request Durant halped him to
carry a small organ from one part of
the church to another. The prisoner
appeared exhausted and was frequent
ly obliged to stop and rest. The wit
ness stated that he detected no escap-
Ing gas and thought all the jets and
pipes were in perfect order.
