These are indeed, portentious
tlmesin politics, and the hour has
come when patriotism and con-
science should dictate the policy
OF men, while blind partisanship
should step to the rear. Let
every man be fully pursuaded in
his own mind and then let him
act courageously and according
to the dictates of his own con-
science. Let personal interest
and party zeal make room for
right and duty and let no man be
blinded by pride or led astray by
false promises, or coerced by
threats or forced to yield his
convictions or his vote by the
crack of party whip or the tricky
arguments of party demagogues.
Never, since the days of treason
and slavery, has this Nation had
such need of patriots as now. It
is the privilege, it is the bounden
duty of every man who has been
clothed with the right Of suffrage
to study deeply into the issues
that now confront the Nation,
and prove his patriotism. through
the vote he casts. Men may diff.
fer in all conscience upon politi-
cal issues, but no man should run
the risk of voting wrong through
ignorance of the right. Voters,
Citizens, freemen, of every party
and faith, the times are full Of
peril, the Nation IS in danger,
liberty of action and Of conscience
is threatened, and the happiness
|of your loved ones, the security
Of your possessions and the in
ahenable rights secured to you
though the blood Of the fathers
and through the constitution and
laws Of your country, are in jeop-
ardy. AS in the days Of seces-
sion and lavery, let patriotism
take the place of partisanship
while you study the tendencies
of the times and the issues of the
hour, and as in those days, let
instincts of loyalty and the con-
victions of right and justice and
duty take possession of you and
control your every thought and

1t is this state of things that
has compelled the common people
of America to start new natio-
nal party. The fundamental
tenet of the people S party is that
this is a free and independent
country, and can and ought to
manage it's own affairs on the
tariff or money question irrespec-
tive of any other country, and
irrespective, if the common well
fare demands it, of the money
magnates in Wall street or else
where. The peoples party has
taken up the slogan, America for
Americans, that the republican
party has so ANONYMOUSLY drop
ped. The peoples party is the
true republican party Of Lincoln
and Blaine, aud the true demo
cratic party of Jefferson and
Jackson. True Americanism is
not confined to a certain party
name, but lives in the heart and
minds of the common people.
When Il crisis in the nation comes
it assert itself as it did in 1915,
1904, 1882 and 1860, and it will do
so again in this monetary crisis.
No matter what the democratic
party may do at Chicago July 18th
next, the peoples party and the
free silver republicans will unite
with millions of free silver demo
Gratis to become the second natio-
nal party at the next election. In
1900. the party will have both pre-.
sident and congress. And then,
if not before, it will be America
for Americans once more: !:

TELLER AND HIS FOL-
LOWERS.

Henry NJ. Teller has won for
himself a place in history. In a
great crisis he stood forth as a
patriot. 1t is no easy matter to
sever the political ties of a life
time; it is no easy matter to stand
before d hostile and angry crowd
and speak a gospel which they
reject, but Senator Teller had the
courage to do it. Some shouted
renegade" some called him a
"bolter' and hundreds Kissed
their venom at him. but the voice
OF his conscience rose above the
din Of the multitude, drowning
out all others sounds, and that
conscience called him "patriot. "
He was present at the birth Of
the republican party, he espou-
sed the cause for which it stood
and brought to it's support all
energy of strong and vigorous
mind, all the zeal of a warm and
generous heart Years ago he
noted with apprehension the
growing influence Of the capital
istic classes in the party's coun-
ellis. but his love for the party.
was so deep that bis hope over:
came his fears. But when the
convention at St. Louis bowed to
the will of Wall street and under
the threat Of a withdrawal of
campaign contributions, accepted
a platform written by the money
changers, he was left no choice
and abandonment of the party be-
came a duty.
Issues make parties. The
money question~is now the par.
amount issue, and voters must
make their party associations fit
their convictions. The example
of Senator Teller is taken for the
sake of Illustration. He is con-
spicuous because of his great ab-
ility and high official position, and
yet all who initiate him are des-
CRYING of like praise. Dubois,
Cannon, Har tman and all the
others who followed Teller out of
the convention have practiced
the same virtues and given evil.
dence of the same moral courage.
Congressman Towne who,.
though not d delegate, was pres.
ent and participated in all their
plans, is worthy to stand >by the
side Of Teller. His state conven.
lions, both demo cratic and repu-
.blicans, declared for gold, and
yet his convict ions are so deep
that he is willing to: stand by
them, even though it may mean
political death to him, - S.. S.. . s.

v Number OF National banks
3,677. These banks had cash re-
sources as follows:
Specie 1888. 5 millions
U. S. Legal Tender 97.6
u. S. Certificates 1877
Total $296.8
They owed to
Depositors .Sl6O8.6 millions
Other Banks 1905 "
Total $2,O39.2
Now it is not denied that while
| confidence existed the cash re-
sources of 1868 millions of real
money was amply sufficient to
meet the cash demands as they
matured, and kept the business
top a humming. But neither will
it be disputed by any competent
banker or tinancier, that the in
slant that business confidence
should be shaken by any cause
and there are a hundred and one
causes that may arise either from
accident or design to disturb
such contidence-that instant a
disastrous panic would>occur.
Now we do not overlook the
fact that the National banks had
ample resources in loans and dis
counts, and by means of these
could draw on the whole stock of
real money in the hands of the
people at large. But when a
panic breaks out boarding in
stantly commences. and every
body holds onto the money they
have in their possession. We
saw this illustrated when the
panic of 1898 finally broke. Mon
ey disappeared as by magic.
And it has not come out of it's
hiding place yet. And the main
reason why it will not come out
is that confidence in our credit
banking system has been lost for
good. " Sour experience has de-
monstrated to the people at large
that there is no permanent sta
bj]ity to- our present financial
system. Perhaps few of the or
binary people understand the
real nature of the trouble, but all
understand that something is
radically wrong somewhere. And
the great majority Of ordinary
people will harbor distrust of
our present system as long as
they live. This country will
never see q business revival un-
der the present financial system.
Burnt children never play with
fire afterwards. What the peo-
pie Of this country want, and will
have, before they venture into
business enterprises again is an
other financial system and policy.
They want something that pro-
misses permanency and stability.
What that system shall be re-
mains to be seen. It will not be
the present topsy-turvy credit
banking system: If based onzthe
com ercial valueof metals, twill
be gold and silver as Of old. II
q credit system then: it will be
based on the resources of the
whole nation and the currency
issued exclusively by the gener-
al government. It will pro- badly
be q combination Of the two sys-

from American statesmen, and
republicans at that! The repub-
lican statesmen did not talk this
way few years ago when they
argued in favor of a protective
tariff. Then they asserted that
America could stand alone, have
her own tariff system and defy
the world. This position made
the republican party popular
with the true. and independent
American citizen. They claimed
that The democratic party
