both sides they will not be printed un-

Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-

TONNES CONVERSION.

LOOK OUT FOR TRICKS1STAND BY
THE PEOPLES PARTY-SOME SOUND
ADVICE.
To the Representative:
notice in the Representative that the
Hon. Charles Towne, M. c., has an
nounced himself in favor of the free
coinage of silver. Let the good work
go on; but look out for trickery. It is
an evident fact that there is great dissat-
isfaction in both the old parties with
many of their members. It is also evil
dent to my mind that neither of the old
parties will adopt free silver plank in
their platforms; and now there is move
on foot by both Democrat and Republi-
can leaders to quietly organize clubs in
the interest of free silver regardless Of
party. I regard this as trick to catch
the dissatisfied voters of the old parties
that have not as yet affiliated with the
Peoples party, and keep them from swell
ing our ranks. Then the gold factions
of both parties will unite and hold the
balance of power There is no use or
ganizing a new silver party, as there is
aready free-silver party in the field
that was organized in 1892 upon the Oma-
ha platform. And this thing of the
masses of the people allowing themselves
to- be divided up is the reason of our past
defeats. And there is no necessity for
members Of the Peoples Party having
| anything to do with any new silver par
ty, as in the third plank of the Peoples
Party platform In dealing with the
financial question it declares for the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to I. Let every
member of the Peoples Party stand true
to his convictions, vote his principles
when 1896 comes, and if the old parties
want to squabbles over this silver ques-
ton it is our gain; and these men who
are splitting off from the old parties have
only learned this much Of our lesson, and
by 1896 they will also want the govern
ment control Of railroads and the abol-
ishment of national banks. They will
also see that even the free coinage of
silver will not furnish us money enough
to carry on the business of this country,
and they will want few greenbacks is
sued to help out the deficiency. Let
every member of the Peoples Party stand
as firm as the rock of Gibraltar and the
day will be ours. They are continuing
to come. Get all the subscribers posi-

Some Of your contemporaries are la

There is evidently a revival in one
branch of business, which no doubt helps
these newspapers.
For sometime I have been observing
in one Of the weekly papers of your

up and cornering silver SO that when
free and unlimited coinage is established
they will gather in q profit of millions of
dollars. Suppose they do? Are the
people to struggle along in adversely be-
cause of an insufficient volume of cur
rency in order to keep the silver kings
from making money? Shall millions of
people starve to death just to prevent a
few from getting rich? And is it any
worse to make the silver mine owners
rich than it is to make the gold mine
owners and the banks and Shylocks rich
by combining money to gold? The own
ers of the gold mines are making mill
ions from the very hearts blood of the
people. They are getting rich from our
confiscated homes and farms; from the
sweat of the human brow; from making
hungry stomachs and from the paralysis
of our Industries. The masses are down
in the dark valley while these fellows
are on the hill top. If the silver kings
get rich from free coinage, the rest of us
can enjoy prosperity too. We can get
something while they are getting great
deal, while under present conditions the
owners of gold are getting rich and we
are getting nothing. Another brutal at
tempt to deceive is the brazen charge
that the South desires an income tax in
order to despoil the wealth of the North
1t is an outrageous falsehood. The South
does not want an income tax any more

THE LAST AND BEST RESORT TO
LIMIT THE CONCENTRATION OF
CAPITAL.
To the Representatives:
The taxation of all trusts, combina-
lions of capital, whether real or fictitious,
is the only means left the people to avoid
bankruptcy or reputation. Now, the
question of taxation is sore one with
an overtaxed people, but the evil of the
present system is that the burthen is
placed on the producing and industrial
cement of the nation, while the class that
ought, in common justice, to bear the
heaviest part of the burden escapes near
ly altogether In no other civilized land
are the wealthy free from contributing
their just part of the taxation to help de-
fray the expense of running the govern
ment that fosters and protects them.
Now the means Of reaching the wealth
easily secured through the action of the
courts the vast bulk of this concentrated
capital is fictitious: for instance, watered
railroad stock-corporatio bonds, and
all such baseless wealth. Now were the
courts to demand that the stamp of the
assessor should be on the face of ALL
bonds, mortgages, certificates of stocks
or notes of hand for each and every year
since issued or they would not aid in
their collection or recognize them, it
would soon stop their issue by destroying
their market value All the govern
ments of the different civilized nations
collect a graduated tax on accumulated
wealth. England collects over $75,0Q0,-
900 on stamps alone, besides large rev.
enue from legacy duty, ETC., etc. France
has heavy tax on accumulated wealth
and the incomes of the rich citizens.
This is the case in Germany, Austria,
Italy, etc., and in all those countries
there is demand for the support of the
church, which in the British islands
amounted to a 1.-THE or tenth of the crops
raised Though that has been commuted),
still it comes in one shape or other. The
republic of Switzerland collects a gradu-
ated income tax on all incomes over 1000
france, or 5000; under that income there
is no tax. Our income tax should have
been limited to 81 900 income, and all the
homes of the citizens under that value
should be held exempt from taxation for
any purpose The demand of the far
mer and workingmen should be, TAXA
TON of the wealth and exemption of
the homes. This is from an old grang-
err. SAMUEL SINNETT.
