number from voting our ticket, but the
startling misrepresentation of the daily
monopoly press, and the fabulous sums of
money set loose by the money power, to
frighten, bride and niislead, was the
greatest influence against us. The four
and half millions who did not vote
were dazed by the situation, not
repealed by anything in the Omaha
pressions are in the money plank
Single tax, referendum, proportional rep
resentation, etc, etc, are not properly
party questions. Socialism, outside of
government and municipal control of
natural monopolies, is not worth consid-
ering. The advocates of government
ownership of all machinery and the
Matchmaking of all industries, should be
left to those who are trying to stuff the
labor union ''proletariat" of the large
cities with that non-c omatable doctrine.
But brother Cummings estimate of the
number of votes each of such planks
would draw may or may not be near
correct, His estimate that government
banks" might draw 5000, we believe
there is no information to warrant
In fact it is the inevitable sequence of
the money plank of the platform, and
so far as we have sounded the producing,
trading class, we believe that ninety out
of every one hundred are in favor of
government banks. Everybody under
stands what bank is There is nothing
new in that. Every depositor would
choose bank which made his deposits
safe beyond peradventure, and everybody
who was compelled to use borrowed
money in his business would go to the
bank which exacted the lowest rate of
interest. The manufacturer, the mer-
chant, everybody who uses borrowed
capital favors the government bank This
fact is easily proven. Go out and ask the
people as you meet them, after explain
ing what you want, and that will settle
the point with any doubling Thomas.
If the Peoples party leaves that strong
point in the line unoccupied it will evince
poor generalsllip. The money power has
taken position on this point. They pro-
claim the kind of bank they want Are
the cowardly commanders of the Peoples
party going into the fight without any
thing definite to oppose to Shylock's
plan? Those who will not go into the
Peoples party OH its established lines are
looking back at the flesh pots of their old
parties The leeks of Egypt have more
charms for them than the milk and honey
of the Promised Land
Any widening Or narrowing or changing
ofthe platform other than to make it more
explicit and unmistakable and unmis-
construable in its meaning will not catch
single pull-back. We want leaders that
will lead and tell the enemy we will fight
it out on this line, or on more advanced
line if it takes generation The Fabian
policy won't answer. That gives the
factionist time to get in his work. We've
had too much of it.

The Age of Competition.

A century ago the work of the
world was mainly the work OF
handicraft. Men exchanged the
products of their industry, ana
each received the full value of his
labor. There was no advantage to
any over his neighbOr. OppOrtu-
nifty was neither hired or sold.
Man contended for man against his
industrial fellow. The profits went
to toll. The wealth of society
tended to equilibrium.-William
Jackson Armstrong in March Arena.
The old conditions have been
entirely changed. Now it is the
man against the machine, a contest
so hopeless that man single handed
shrinks from attempting it. Com
bined and aggregated capital owns
the machine and the man has been
reduced to wage slavery. The
sphinx which society is questioning
for an answer remains silent while
thousands are trying to guess the
riddle.

Blank Verse.

Blank or unrhymed is that form Of
heroic verse which is commonly en-
ployed in English dramatic and epic
poetry 1t was introduced by the Earl
of Surrey, who died in l547, in his
translation Of the second and fourth
books of "Eneid. 1t was first en-
ployed in the drama in Sackville and
Norton's tragedy of "Ferrex and Por-
rex" which was printed in 1865, but
it was not till Marlowe adopted it in
his play of Famhurlaine the Great
that it became the form regularly en-
ployed in the metrical drama, which it
has since. with only occasional inter-
walls. remained. After Millions use Of
it in Paradise Lost" it was widely ex-

The U. S. Supreme Court is re-
ported to be profoundly exercised
over the income tax question. 1t
is between justice to the people and
technicalities of law and the money
class. The Court would, apparent
ly, gladly lean on technicalities to
support a decision in favor of the
money class. Let it lean on that
bruised reed and it will be the first
count that will be brought in in
the Indictment ON which it is to be
tried in the not distant future, be-
fore the great jury whose decision
is above the law of nine old men in
silk gowns.

The reckless, extravagant asser-
ton to which the shylock daily
press is driven to make the des
perate condition Of the cause they
attempt to uphold apparent. A
recent issue of the Philadelphia
Press is a case in point. Speaking
of the revival of business the paper
says;
"a similar revival occurred a
year ago at this time, but was de-
stroyed by Congress, a redundant
currency and poor crops"
Who ever heard of or witnessed
a redundancy of currency" in dull
times? Such a proposition is an
absurdity. Dull times and plenty
of money never accompany each
other. When contraction Of the
currency is commenced, the cry of
hard times is Immediately heard.

The graduated income tax is
justified on the principle that the
man whose horse has been stolen
can claim and recover the animal
wherever he finds it. 1t doesn't
matter how many hands the horse
has passed through, or what it has
cost the present possessor.
The millionaire incomes have
been stolen by system of class law
thievery no less reprehensable than
horse stealing. They of right be
long to the public and the public
ought to reclaim them by taxation.
The present holders will fight if
they can muster the force before
they will give up their wealth OF
the privileges by which it was ac-
quired. Aristocracy has never
hesitated to draw blood before
yielding if opportunity offered; and
the opportunity to shed blood has
generally been found.

The Wing in tipping the bankers

a little flattery says:
"One of the most agreeable
occupations Of the POpulists, and
the advocates of dishonest money
generally, is to denounce any and
every banking system as inimical to
the interests of the people, and to
create the impression that all bank
ers are public enemies"
They have produced abundance
of proof that all present systems are
inimical to the interest of the
people, and no attempt has been
made to refute the evidence, but
they never have charged that call
bankers are public enemies" 1t
is the system they condemn not the
persons necessarily engaged in it.
A gold bug defender never can tell
a whole truth. But how could he!
His foundation, "dishonest money!
is a lie. There is no "dishOnest
money" such thing is wholly
impossible.

The American millionaire girl
marries the poor foreign title be-
cause the class always recognizes its
kind wherever found. They both
belong to the aristocracy, the aris-
tocracy of birth and the aristocracy
of wealth. Aristocracy is an idle
class that lives off of the earnings
of the industrious class. The
reason is plain why the rich
American girl and the poor titled
foreigner seek each other.

Tho Secret Told.

It is often difficult task to remove
soft solder from gold jewelry requiring
to be repaired. Scraping and subse-
quent treatment with acid are commonly
used, but are often dangerous to some ar
ticles. A hitherto secret method of treat
ment employed at a large establishment
in London is as follows: To s ounces Of
muriatic acid add an ounce Of crocus
and shake well. To an ounce of this
mixture add ounces of hot water,
place in an earthen dish and keep up
the heat by means Of gas fame. Upon
introducing the soft soldered article into
the solution the result is said to be all
that could be wished.

THE MORA INDEMNITY.
It Will be Promptly Paid to the
Claimant in Washington.
WILL HAVE AG0OD FORTUNE LEFT,

Though the Claims Against Him for Law
yerS Fees Alone WIN Amount to six
Hundred Thousand Dollars-No Show for
His Nephew, jose Manuel Mora.
WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Spanish
government has yielded to the representa-
tions Of the United States in the matter of
the place Of payment of the money in salts
faction of the Mora claim, and will pay it
In Washington on the date agreed on, the
10Th inst. As the amount is large the
payment will be made in exchange on Lon
don and Ohe transaction will be conducted
through the state department 1t has been
represented that the claimant, Antonio
Mora, has assigned so much of his claim
that he would receive practically nothing
from this settlement 1t is authoritively
stated in his behalf that this is not true,
and that after all assignments are satis-
fled, including 5000, 600 for lawyers fees, he
will have left between 500, 600 and $500, 600.
There Is no apprehension of trouble on
the part of Mora's attorneys because Of the
suit threatened by his nephew to enjoin
the state department from the payment Of
the money To Mr.. Mora, when received. 1t
is not believed here that the surrogate Of
New York, to whom this nephew, Jose
Manuel Mora, applied for letters of admin
istration in order to enable him to COM
mence the suit, will grant the letters, and
if he should do so, and il the injunction
should be granted, it is understood that
the secretary of state would not recognize
the injunction, because Of his knowledge
/ that Antonio Mora did not in his original
| petition make any claim in his brothers be-
half. Moreover, it is said Jose Mora, the
elder, never became an American citizen,
and had no claim upon the Intervention Of
the United States.
1t is suggested by attorneys here that the
nephew can recover damages by applying
direct to Spain, in view Of the holding OF
the supreme court of Spain that the conhs.
cation of property is in direct violation OF
the Spanish constitution. The heirs OF
Jose Mora, therefore, perhaps viii prefer
claims quite as extensive as those allowed
in Antonio Morals claim.
