readers that the Populist party can
not be held together upon the finance
question alone, and we believe that
the scheme to commit the leaders of
the party to the adoption of a single
issue platform, and to beguile the
reform press into it's support is a
gold-bug conception and designed to
disrupt the party. That this will be
the effect Of it if Populists permit
themselves to be caught by it be-
comes more apparent every day.
Here, for instance, Is a report Of q
meeting in Colorado, one Of the lead
ing silver states, which indicates
clearly the course that straight Pop
ulists intend to pursue:
The central committee Of the middls-of-
the road Populist party met in the board Of
trade Monday April s, 1896, and after free
and full discussion adopted the following:
First-The name Of this organization
shall be known as ''The Central Committee
Of the National POpulist party Of the City
and County Of Pueblo"
SeOond-The Omaha platform, in letter
and spirit, shall be the platform Of this
organization.
Third-The officers Of this organization
shall consist Of a chairman, secretary and
treasurer.
Fourth-The central committee, in ad-
dihion 10 Che officers named, shall consist Of
one member from each ward in the city,
and one from each school district outside
the city.
Fifth-Msmbership in this part shall be
based upon ths acceptance Of the Omaha
platform in its entirety, and the following
bylaws:
First Continued allegiance TO the Ma
bionsl Populisb party shall depend upon
fair and honorable methods in convention.
SeCond-At least ten days notice shall
be given of all conventions, whether ward,
township, school OF commissioners district,
city or county, together with place Of meet
ing, day and time, which shall not be less
than three hOurg.
Third-Al nominations for Office, whether
for wards, township, commissioners or
school district or county, shall be made in
mass meeting by the national PopuliSt
voters in the several localities said OSndi-
dates are 10 represent.
Fourth--No candinahe shall be assessed
for campaign expenses.
Fifth-All services required Of persons in
this party, whether candidates or Others,
shall be paid for out Of the general fund.-
Star Herald, April 8.
Now the single-plank men may at
tribute this action to stubbornness.
They may say that if the party is
disrupted these "middls-of-the-road
Populists" will be responsible for it
by their refusal to accept the single
plank upon which to make the next
campaign. We would remind them
that all there is of the Peoples party
has been built up upon the Omaha
platform, and if there is any stub
bornness manifested anywhere, it is
by those who now propose 70 run
away from the standard around
which they have formerly rallied.
Still, If POpulists wish to aid this
gold-bug scheme to disrupt and
scatter the party, there is probably

steady single-tax gait, and in q MOST clear
and inCisive manner calls attention TO the
fast that the merchant who pays The high.
ess rsns FOX the best location does not sell
goods higher than the merchant who has
cheaper rent and an inferior location.
Respecting Mr.. Wakefeld's argu-
ment upon the shifting Of the single.
tax, here are his own words:
cannot admit your claim that have ad-
mitted the shifting Of the single-taX in the
sense you claim. What / said was, in
effect, that IKE all other items IN cost of pro-
dactton, TT FELL FINALLY ON THE CON.
SUMER, bus only as his JUST contribution
TO public revenues, and no person Is bene-
fitted by such shifting, 40 landlords are
now.
Mr.. Wakefield also admitted that
the reason ''the merchant who pays
the highest rent for the best location
does not sell goods higher than the
merchant who has cheaper rent and
an inferior location" is because he
sells 80 many more goods. He
thereby distributes his rent among a
greater number Of customers, but hls
customers pay it just the same. The
trouble with these single-taxers is
they do not seem to know when they
have admitted q proposition. If the
above, while pretending TO deny chat
the gingle.tsx is shiftable, is not q
clear admission that it is, then Ian
gusge has no meaning. About the
questions asked me in relation to de-
tails, I hBve always frankly said that
no system of land distribution can
arrange in advance all details neCes-
sary to provide for all future COntin-
genOies. When Mr.. Wakefield was
asked to state such details under the
single-tax system, he frankly said
that the best that could be done was
to open to settlement by all the peO-
pie upon equal terms all the land
there is, and that is precisely what I
had like wise proposed. 1t seems to
be q crime in the eyes of single
takers for others to be unable to go
farther than they pretend to go
themselves in prescribing details to
meet unforeseen future conditions.
Again, Mr.. Glass says:
In his last article, Doctor MOLallin falls
back on the Malahusian theory Of too many
people for the earth's Surface, and takes
the strange ground FOR q socialist that II
there was too much public revenue the Ofa-
Cials would misuse 10 and squander 10.
Now, if there is one thing more
than another that I have always and
upon all occasions repudiated, it is
this same Malthusisn theory that
there are too many people for the
esrth's surface. On theEother hand
I have held, not only that there is
room for all, but thatathere is an
abundance Of everything necessary
for human comfort and happiness
for all, and many more than the
present population. The only trou-
BILE is with the system under which
we live which permits the unequal
and unjust distribution of this

The Utah Trade

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.--Manager
Curtis of the Traffic association has be-
come at a single bound central figure in
the overland traffic situation.
1t is generally acknowledged that big
war in rates on transcontinental ship
ments iE,o Z tab is at hand. The traffic
association is fig hting to get share of Utah
and Colorado business for the San Fran

Francisco's right in the premises as
against Omaha, Kansas City, st. Louis
and Chicago. The Union Pacific. Denver
and Rio Grande, Rock Island, Bnrling-
ton, Santa Fe. Rio Grande Western and
against this city. They are even now
lighting among themselves for the east
ern trade into Colorado and Utah and
are quoting in Salt Lake City rates from
Chicago that are lower than from
San Francisco to the Murm on capital not
farther distant from Salt Lake City.
Curtis. who returned from Salt Lake
City Monday last, has informed President
Durham ana his associates uf the Traffic
association that their only rational course
- to insist upon the Southern Pacific
rates to Ogden to Offset as far as possible
the eastern low rats into all points in
Utah.
The Traffic association officials waited
ON Mr.. Stubbs and requested him. to as
sist them in fighting for Utah business
against Omaha, Kansas City. st. Louis
and Chicago. Stubs gave his word that
the Southern Pacific would reduce rates
every time a rate from Chicago into Utah
should be lowered. In other words, he
promised that his mpany would quote
rates in proportion to the Chicago tariff
to Ogden. In that way. he said. San Fran
cisco woald always get lower rate into
Ogden than Chicago could, because OF the
shorter distance. His com pany could not
make rate beyond Ogden. San Fran
cisco shipments to other points in Utah
would. therefore, have to pay local rates
from Ogden. He stated that the Union
Pacific had not acted IN good faith with
him in making rates from the east into
Utah. as compared with the tariff from
here to that territory. He therefore felt
free, he declared, to cut rates as long as
it made business from here to Ogden, and
as long as the company could haul with
out loss. II necessary he would be WILL
ing to fight at rates that gave no profit
but paid merely the cost of transporta-
ton.

land Is the Result

LON DON, Nov. 6.-Practically all tie
Clyde engineers are idle as the bulk of
them refused TO 90 to work this morning
as protest against the action of the
shipbuilders yesterday, who posted no
tees locking out rs per cent Of the en-
ployees in their yards.
Only members of the unions were
locked out. The lockout is IN sympathy
With the Belfast shipbdIldsrs. whose en-
ployees recently struck. The Clyde ship
builders thereupon announced that they
would lock out 25 per cent of their en-
ployees each successive week as the strike
progressed.
Boih unionists and non-unionists, how
ever. are equally affected and the extent
to which the other industries are affect
ed is incalculable, for the shipbuilding on
the Clyde is at standstill. A general
stagnation OF business in the west of
Scotland is the result. The coal and iron
industries are most affected and num-
bers OF miners and iron workers will
probably be thrown out of work.
