What Does General Field Mean +?

General Field, of Virginia, in the
Watcamaa of August goth gives his views
of national platform which should EN-,
body the principles of the Peoples party
in the next Presidential canvass. The
first proposition in Mr.. Fields revised
platform is:
''The Omaha platform, eliminating
therefrom all propositions looking to the
loan or advancement of money by the
government to the people"
Free coinage of gold and silver supple
nented by legal tender treasury notes till
the volume of currency is equal to $50 per
capita is his general financial plan.
If the government is to furnish this
volume of money but not to '1oan or add
vance it to the people," how is it to be
got into circulation? The silver and gold
coins would be the property of the per-
sons who furnished the metal for coinage,
and they would put the coins i'll circula-
ton, but the legal tender notes would
belong to the government, and unless the
Treasurer should give them away or loan
them the notes must forever remain in
the Treasury. There are two ways by
which the government could put its
Treasury notes into circulation. The
first is to supply the deficit of receipts in
revenue, which is at present some two
hundred millions, if the hung up appro-
priations are included, this is but a linn
tied method;) and the second is to loan
the legal tender notes to either the people
direct, or to them through the agency of
banks. This. latter is the national bank
system, substituted, Mr.. Field suggests,
by "banks of discount and deposit, to be
authorized, but confed to the use of the
national legal tender money"
Are these banks to be government
banks or private corporation banks, hold
ing their charters from the government,
as the national banks now are constituted?
Here is an uncertainty i'll Mr.. Fields
suggestion of mighty import. If these
proposed banks of deposit aud discount
are to be private concerns they must
receive the currency from the government
either as loan or gift, and loan it to the
people, as they are now doing, at all the
people will pay in the way of interest, or
the banks must be government banks
pure and simple. But if Mr.. Fields plan
contemplates government banks, what
would be the necessity of postal
Savings Banks" which he includes in his
platform?
General Field, like many other people
about Washington of both old party and
reform leaders, are prone to deal i'll gen.
eral terms. Their propositions and plat
forms will read either backwards or for
wards equally well. The people are tired
of generalities and want specifics. What
does General Field mean?

Six Thousand Tons of Gold

The gold basis delusion and deception

is suddenly revealed to an imaginary
Monetary Conference" that 5000 tons
of gold had been stored in New York

CONAN gold mines; The CONSERVATION
which is created by this revelation is
ludicrous. The owners of immense
wealth are struck aghast at the prospest
of this STANDARD of value" suddenly be-
coming so plenty that their fortunes are
reduced to a minimum. The wealth OF
the worlds masses is magnifed while the
boards of the moneyed class are mini
mized, and they desire the destruction
of gold i'll order to keep it dear by con.
tinued scarcity of what they contend only
is money. The false gold financial theory
which has been the scourge of the world
is rapidly giving way before the enlight
ened public mind. II is encountering both
ridicule and serious reasoning.
If it were possible to spring 5000 ton.
of gold on the world this gold ring that
has honest industry by the throat and is
picking its pockets, would be the first tc
cry out against gold, want it demonetiz,
ed and silver made the only primary

4 nHANcn rOn rHr REGrsrrR

We did not see any invitation in the
 Register last evening to "call Yale names" We looked for it, thinking l that perhaps the Register might have noticed what cropped out in the City court yesterday. Of course we should
 not have accepted the invitation had there been one, but we may, perhaps, without impropriety, call attention to
 an occurrence which the Register, busy in its herculean efforts to straighten out the finances of this country and
 to regulate the affairs of other coun-
 tries, appears to have passed lightly
 by. And in calling attention to it we
 shall use the chaste and delicate Ian
 guage of the faithful and discreet
 policemen who took part in the affair.
 These policemen testified that they saw
 two young ladies" in room 4s of the magnificent Vanderbilt Hall; that the
 young ladies" stayed there from about a. m. until about 4 a. m. and that when the two young ladies" came out of the palace they were ar rested for being drunk How young ladies" could be drunk doth not ap pear, but the careful and polite police men said they were They also said that "a young gentleman" was with the young ladies'" The young gen tleman" was not arrested, and so it is perhaps fair to assume that he was not in the same frame of mind and body that the two young ladies" were. If he was the policemen were discriminating as well as careful and polite.
 We do not invite the Register to ''call Yale names" as it invited us to do the other day. We do not want to see or hear anybody call Yale names. But it would be mildly refreshing to see and hear some things that are done by "young gentlemen" of Yale occasionally and publicly called by their right names. Perhaps if the Register wants to be mildly refreshing it will rest for q minute from nightly and furiously the earth around like foot ball and say word that needs to be said

The lobby is hard to deal with even
 when it is called a legislative agency
 and is registered. The people of Massa-
 chusetts thought they had the lobby
 where they wanted it when the law reg
 ulating and restricting it was made.
 But it has been discovered that some thing more is needed. It has been found necessary to exclude Legislative gents" from the reading room and the floor of the senate chamber for half an hour before the session opens and half an hour before it closes. The rules of the senate had always extended hospit- able welcome to ex-members. They have been included in the list of persons privileged to loaf in the read ing room or enter unlnvited to the floor of the senate when that body is in session. A few ex-senators have be- come Legislative agents" and in order to deny them the privileges of the sen- ate it is proposed to keep out during the session all former members of the upper branch, as well as others. The resolution which has been passed says that no person who is acting as legisla- tive counsel or agent shall be admitted to the floor of the senate chamber dur ing the sessions of the senate and with in the half hour proceeding and sue ceeding its sessions, except upon the in- troduction of a senator by card of in vitation at the time of such admission; no person, except members of the legis- lative and executive departments of the State government, persons in the exer- else of official duty directly connected with the business of the senate, and reporters, shall be permitted to remain in the room intervening be- tween the clerks room and the senate chamber at any time.
 Perhaps the next thing will be rule keeping the Legislative agents out of any part of the State house. And even then, we suppose, they would to do their work.

PRETTY MESS.

It really does seem as if the govern
 ment of this great glorious and com paratively free country might at least
 set about collecting in 8 legal way a tax whose legality is questioned. The president has signed the urgency defi- cheney bill carrying an appropriation for the collection of the income tax
 The senate receded from Senator Hills amendment, aimed at the illegal treas ury regulations and interrogatories, before passing the appropriation. In some new examples of unlawful ques- tioning in the income tax forms were brought to light. For instance, the law nowhere provides that man shall be obliged to disclose his wife's income, but under the regulations he is expected to do so. Other unlawful requirements were pointed out during the discussion, and the need of correcting the interrog- atories was pressed upon the attention or LHe SeudlOIS WHO ueLenQGQ the tax and the methods of enforcement. Sen ator Chandler said: "For my own part, rather than send out these blanks, which are clearly illegal and atrocious, I should certainly be willing, and I have no doubt the senator from Ohio would be, to contribute to print newer and better forms of returns, which would be in accordance with law and common sense"
 According to a statement made by Senator Brice, the commissioners of in- ternal revenue refused to correct the in- terrogatories on the ground of cost. while expressing the belief that those

These ille- legal, imperfect and misleading inter- rogatories will soon be thrust into the faces of the people who are to be sub jeeted to the outrageous income tax, and if they are not answered the per- sons refusing will be liable to the pros ecutlon of the tax-gatherer, who still has the power of the federal govern ment at his back, however Illegally that government may have proceeded in this matter.

 [From the Boston Daily Globel
 q believe I was the first drummer who went west from New England . said John B. Curtis of the firm of Cur tis & Son, land am very sure that was one of the first. I made my first long western trip forty-four years ago. and I've just returned from a trip that took me to the Pacific coast.

I sometimes wonder what they would do if they were suddenly put back and made to do as we had to fifty years ago or little less. Some of the poorest of them would give up their job, but I think that the rest would stick to it and make a success of the business just as we did in those days.
 Nearly fifty years ago when the business of selling goods by samples WdS III US llIdIlCyJ dllI WilVll IiiV VI hlli- mer had but just been discovered. we were compelled to make slow trips and, of course, not many of them in year. Then it took about three weeks to go from Portland to Chicago, and dealers ordered goods enough to last six months. Then the drummer had to en- dure many privations, but we were a hardy set, and were content with a lit- tie, that is, if we could get plenty of orders. The villages were miles and miles apart then, and yet we in some way felt the coming commercial i'm portance of many of them, and knew that we must keep in with the men who were trying to build up trade under what seemed many times to be dis heartening circumstances.
 'I have passed hundreds of nights camping out when on long trips, with only a blanket for covering and the ground for a bed. We, who drummed trade in the west in behalf of eastern houses, didn't mind that, but we. did object to the rattlesnakes sometimes. It didn't pay to have them get too fa- miliar. We were happy when we could travel by canal boat or by steamboat, but the dreadful western stages were what tried our patience
