EDITORIAL FROM THE SILVER KNIGHT"


THE following Is the editorial to which
Senator PETERS letter in this issue relates
EDIT0Rl
Every prominent candidate for the
Presidency in the two old parties Is q
goldite, showing, if any further show
ing were necessary, that both the old
parties will adhere to the English gold
standard and continue to labor for
English commercial supremacy over
the United States. All the energy of
the gold combination Is directed to
keeping the rank and file Of the two
old parties in line, an undertaking
which will be impossible if the Popu-
list party will concentrate the fight
against gold monopoly and for none
tsry reform.
The silver people and those who are
In favor of financial reform are fully
aware of the fact that the members of
the Populist party are sound on that
question. we know also that unless
financial reform can be had that all
other desirable reforms are as building
house upon a defective foundation,
utterly worthless. Is it not better,
then, for the Populist party to make
platform on which the friends of none
tary reform may go with them, than to
include all of the reform desired by
them in a platform which has hereto
fore and may hereafter drive many
voters from them2

THE TRUTH, BUT NOT THE WHOLE TRUTH.
The Topeka Capital Of October 26
quotes the following from the speech
Of Edward Atkinson to the Bankers
Association at Its recent session ct At
lRnta:
In recent article upon the cost OF bad
money have proven my methods which
challenge any man to gains&y that the effect
OF the legal tender notes Of 1852 and 1SaS,which
may only be justified under the necessity for
collecting forced loan for the conduct Of the
war, cost the people OF this country during
four years Of war and three years Of recon
struction, from 1862 to 1858, not less than
$1,000 100000, aside from the increased cost OF
the war itself from the rise In prices In mate.
riSls which were used for war purposes. The
indirect tax OF bad money during this period
Of seven years amounted to 81 ,0OOJ0 100000 year.
That sum 10 the measure Of the tax which was
imposed upon the masses who depend upon
their wages, their earnings or their small sala-
ries, and who constitute about 30 per cent Of
the community, not one dollar OF which went
to the support Of the government That sum
was secured by the classes whose income is
derived from profits, who constitute only
about 10 per cent. Of the community, by the
rise In prices which exceeded the rise In
wages during that period by 50 per cent The
tax which made the rich grow richer at the
cost Of the poor came to $40 per head Of the
population every year for seven years. One
man in three does the work Of the country.
The penalty which he paid for bad money was
t12O year every year for seven years, and that
sum amounted to not less than one-fourth Of
his average income throughout that period
Even after that the whole community stood
the burden and the stress Of the long struggle
to restore the specie standard Of value from
1859 to 1878.
The object of the Capital In this
quotation Is the same as that Of Mr..
Atkinson in uttering the statements
quoted to present an argument
against the issue Of United States
paper money. Mr.. Atkinson has un-
questionsbly stated truth in relation
to the loss that the people have suf-
fered on account OF the paper money
in question, but he has not stated the
DhoIe truth. Had he done so the Cap
itGI would not have experienced the
pleasure it now does In quoting his re-
marks. The other part OF the truth is
that Congress, under the leadership Of
John Sherman, purpoSely provided for
the depreciation Of this money as COM
pared with gold by the act authorizing
its issue, and all the loss that the peo-
pie have SUFFERED in consequence was
thus deliberately and intentionally In
ficted By q Republican Congress in
order to afford q few Wall street bank
ers the opportunity to buy the notes ct
q discount and convert them into In
terests bearing bonds nt per. Had there

agreed on either point, but they are
agreed on the principle involved in
both.
The Sub.treasury plan was evolved
among cotton-plsnters of the Southern
States, whose only object was to get
rid of exorbitsnt charges Of bankers,
merchants and warehouse men. If in
terest rates for the use Of money are
reduced to proper level, as Populists
demand, the sub-treasury plan viii be
superseded by something better"
The railroad proposition has not
received the unanimous approval Of
Populists, but they are agreed that the
means of public transportation ought
at all times to be held subject to public
control and conducted in the interest
of the people for whose convenience
and benefit they were authorized and
constructed. Populists do not believe
In granting exclusive privileges to any
private agency. 1t would be imprsc-
ticable and lead to interminsble com.
plications for the government to
condemn all the railroads now existing
in the country and take possession Of
them and conduct their business; but
it is quite practicable and proper-sye,
indeed, it is necessary, that the people
exercise such supervision over these
great corporations as will secure the
carriage of persons and property at
reasonable rates of compensation.
All things considered, there is really
nothing insurmountsble in the SilUer
Knights objections. On all the essen
tisls Of monetary reform il is in full
accord with us. It's proper place is in
our ranks. Every "silver man" ought
to be fighting with us, for, even if we
had free silver coinage and nothing
else, we should be no better off than we
are now.
The money power must be dethroned
and class legislation must be stopped.
The people must be placed in. power.
The work ahead of us is enormous and
the Populist party is here to do the
work. We need the help of every
friend of liberty, for the peoples rights
are at stake. Popular government is
in issue. The perpetuity Of the repub-
lie is IN peril. "Come over and help
u.s." Respectfully, W. A. PETER.

the rights Of the people as individual
