FREE SILVER PARTY
Popullsts of Minnesota Refuse to Join

Popullsts of Minnesota Refuse to Join
the New Movement.
st. Paul (Minn.) special: The state
ment wired here from the east that the
Populist party Of Minnesota would Join
the Sibley free-silver-coinage party is
vigorously denied by Ignatius DON
nelly, parent Of the peoples party of
Minnesota. Mr.. Donnelly said this
evening: "The idea of our party de-
sorting the principles laid down in the
Omaha platform and consenting to be
the tail to an exclusive free-silver
party is almost too silly to be dis
cussed. The silver proposition, willie
we'll enough in its way, is an essen
TALLY selfish one so far as the men who
are most prominent in urging it are
concerned. They are largely silver
mine owners and are seeking for
market for their product. The Peoples
party has other and fully as important
plans on hand for the amelioration of
the condition Of mankind. II the silver
men are in earnest in their move let
them join our party. We have always
favored the free coinage of silver, but
we have other plans in view which we
cannot abandon. Had the silver men
stood by our party in the last election
we would have carried Colorado, Mon
tana, Washington, Idaho, Wyoming,
and, perhaps, other states. Instead of
doing this they said that the repub-
lican party in those states was in IA
vor Of free coinage of silver and that,
therefore, It was good enough for them.
II that is so l do not see why the same
party is not good enough for them

Do you think that our revolutionary
fathers would have gained justice at
the hands of King George III. and his
mobiles If they had sat down and waited,
instead Of agitating and organizing?
Do you think they would have made
any Roadway by voting and fighting for
men who believed in kingship? Not
much. 1t took lots Of agitation to
arouse the sluggards among them, but
1t did not take tenth as much blood
shed by British hirellngs as has al
ready been shed by monopoly hirelings
in the United States Of Monopoly. So
long as men will vote for parties that
protect monopolies by law, so long will
the distress and horrors now prevail
ing continue. There can be no other
result. Every vote cast for the old
parties is vote to place the officers,
militia, army and navy at the disposal
Of corporations to shoot down Ameri
can workers who have been starved
into violence. To support the old
parties has Just the same effect as the
support the tories gave King George Ill
Are you, workingman, wise to sup.

A late report Of the practical opera
ton of the telegraph system in Eng
land will be read with interest. 1t
proves that under government owner
ship the public is served with greater
satisfaction and it lisa strong argument
for its adoption in this country. The
improvement in service and increased
convenience in every way is SO salts
factory that the public would be very
reluctant to permits return to the old
system. An abbreviated extract from
the report is given in the following dis
patch:
Washington, D. CA sketch show
ing the great development Of the tele-
graph In Great Britain since it passed
under government control in 1870 is
given In a report to the state depart
ment from Consular Clerk Martin. He
shows that all of the separate COM
panies' lines were taken by the govern
ment In 1870 for FIJI 100000 and that in
the year succeeding the government
built 49, 100 miles of wire to connect the
various systems. The reports show
that while in 1870 the total number Of
kilograms handled by all offices was
from $4,000 to 215,OOO per week in 1893
the number exceeded 100000 per
week and the number sent annually
exceeds 100000. In 1869 the Eng
fish press service was 22,0OO,O 900 words;
now 1t amounts to 600,000,000 words,
thirty-six times more than formerly.
The present press rate is small COM
pared with the tariff prior to 1870 and
in place of sending seventy-five words
per minute one way the wires now
carry 500 words minute, and six mes
sages are sent simultaneously on one
wire. The service is performed with
perfect punctuality, the average time
Of transmission Of a message being
about seventy-nine minutes, against
two or three hours in 1870. The rate
is IL cents for twelve words, paid by
stamps"

A RLAcKMAILIMo SCHEME.
What a Great Democratic Paper So ,
of the Bond swlndle.

What Great Democratic Paper So ,
Of the Bond swlndle.
We presume that the cuckoos who,
against their own convictions, may feel
themselves compelled to defend Mr..
Cleveland's gold bond scheme, will
claim that If the scheme had been in
dorsed by congress, 1t would have re-
suited In saving to the people Of
S16,OOO,000 during the next thirty years
The answer to this is that the whole
scheme, In its intention and concep-
ton, was in the nature Of blackmail-
ing operation in the interest Of the ele-
ment that is growing rich out Of the
increased purchasing power that the
single gold standard is comforting on
the money they are boarding. The
representatives Of the people refused to
permit their constituents to be black
mailed, and that is the end of the mat
ter so far as this congress is concerned
The alternative proposed to congress
by Mr. Cleveland may be very simply
stated. In effect he said: you gentle
men seem to be opposed to the single
gold standard. Very well. If you don't
accept 1t for at least thirty years,
propose to levy an additional tax Of
S16,0O0,O00 on the people that they
would not have to pay IL you would ac-
cept gold monometallism for thirty
years."
That was the ultimatum, and IL con-
gress had accepted 1t, that body would
have gone down to history as the most
infamous assembly of representatives
that ever pretended to represent the
people.
To save $16,00O,0O in the course Of
thirty years, the peoples representa-
tives were asked to indorse a scheme
that would have tied the country to
gold monometallism. The country has
already lost untold billions by the OPP
erations Of this system, and while $751;
100000 might have been saved by ac-
NCpNAh6 LILO NOAAOANAOAAo
proposed to congress- the people would
have lost billions in the further shrink
age Of values and prices and in the
general depression Of business occa-
stoned by making gold the only unit Of
account and measure of value.
The Constitution regrets that there
was even one Georgia congressman
ready to indorse this scandalous propo-
sition, and, at the same time, thanks
heaven that there was only one. With
the sole exception of Mr.. Turner the
representatives of the people of Georgia
in congress stood by the interests Of
their constituents and by the prln-
ciples Of their party. This fact shows
that all the efforts that have been made
to induce Georgia's representatives to
indorse the financial views Of John
Sherman and The republicans, have
been fntile.-Atlanta Constitution.
