and he has adhered to that resolution.
A Speaker of the House who does his
duty must deny many things to many
men. Sucn denials make enmities in
eyitably. Such enmities, usually of
short duration, are part of the decoration
of the office But no mem Der has ven
tured to complain that Presidential poll
tics have had anything to do with his
grievances. Some have thought it a
mistaken policy to attempt to keep down
appropriations. They have declared that
the Republican party was not responsible
for the mismanagement which has made
the national purse lean, and therefore
thsy have thought 1t hard that money
should be denied for objects we'll enough
in themselves although not of pressing
necessity.
The Speaker has held that the fact of
the embarrassment of the national f.
nances was sufficient reason for eoonn-
MIXING in expenditures. without re.
gard to the origin of the deficit. He has
insisted that a government cam ot afford
TO be extravaganza or even liberal with
borrowed money, any more than an in
dividual can. Mr.. Dinglsy. Mr.. Dalzell,
MIR Henderson, Mr. Boutellle, Mr.
Payne and Mr.. Milliken have sustained
the Speaker in this: and while the ap-
propriations are large the reason for it
does not arise from any negligence on
the part of the House leaders.
Mr.. Millikens committee have not
reported single public building bill,
and no appropriations have been made
for public buildings. except such as the
Senate have succeeded in attaching to the
sundry civil appropriation bill.
Mr.. Boutelle labored very hard in his
committee to keep the number of but-
tleships for the navy at four Instead of
six, and the House sustained the number
at four, and later agreed to reduction
to three.
The appropriations for the two years
of this Congress will probably reach and
by little pass the billion dollar mark.
This has been true also of tbs the pre-
ceding Congresses and will probably be
true of many to come. The rapid growth
and development of the country causes
constantly increasing demands for ex-
penditures; and the utmost prudence
will not prevent them.

We, the People Party League,
of the state of Minnesota, in an,
nual convention assembled, on
this 18th day of January, 1896,
Resolve, First, on the financial
issue we declare ourselves to be
unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard and demand the
immediate return to the constitu-
tional standard of gold and silver
rs it existed prior to 1873, by the
restoration by"this government
independently of any foreign
power, of the unrestricted coin
age of both gold and silver into
standard money at the ratio Of 16
to /, and upon terms Of exact
equality th'gold for debts and
dues, public and private.
Second. We hold that power to
control'and circulate paper cur
rency is inseperable from the
power to coin money; and hence
that all currency intended to be
circulate as money should be is
sued and it's volume controlled
by the general government only,
such money to be based on the
faith and credit of nation (being
the same basis as that of govern
ment bonds), and to be a full le-
gal tender for all debts, public
and private. the volume to be
limited, so as to protectthe people
against undue imitation or con.
traction.
Third, We are una1terably OPP
posed to the issue by the United
States of interest bearing bonds
in time of peace, and demand the
payment of all coin, at the option
of the debtor.
Fourth, we demand the enact
ment of a graduated income tax
80 adjusted, under the constitu
ton, as to compel accumulated
capital to bear it's just shares Of
the burdens of taxation.
Fifth, We favor government oil
the people, for the people, and by
the people, hence, whenever
practicable, we demand that al
matters of national and state con
Germ shall, under proper safe
guards, be submitted to direct
vote Of the people through the
operations of the initiative and
referendum.
Sixth, We realize that there
are vital questions pressing fol-
solution other than those men
toned and concerning which
there are differences Of opinion
yet we earnestly ask all who are
in accord with the principles emu
merated, however much they
may differ upon other questions
to unite upon these.

NOTES FROM THE LEAGUE
MEETING.

hOu. L. y. Me1Snen, OF F'OfeSt-
vile, Fillmore Co., was elected
chairman Of the Peoples Party
campaign committee, vice Judge
J. l.: Mcdonald, resigned. Mr..
Meighen is one Of Gods noble
men. He is a wealthy farmer.
In fact the well-to.do farm ers
down there are all populists.
AS he said: we are not populists
because we are hard up, but be-
cause we see that if these condi-
tons continue we shall soon be.
And we believe we who own some
property should be willing to
spend a little timeand money if
need be to secure justice to our
more unfortunate fellow citizens.
This is the spirit which should
actuate us all. Tom Meighen is
capable and can have any thing
he wants from the Populists of
| Minnesota, within their power to
best0W.
We were delighted to meet the
old gristled war veteran, Major
Hotchiss, captain Of the End Min
nesota Battery, and Chief Of Ar
tillery for Gems Davis and Thorn
as. The major is the hero of al
most every battle Of any conse-
quence from Corinth to Nash
vile. He is 70 years old but
hale and hearty and, as he said,
at peace with him self and all the
world. Yet the martial fire of
the old artillery commander
CLEANS in his eyes, and he told
US that if he were twenty years
younger he would expect to live
and command a, battery again.
He says we are going to have war
before a great many years. His
honorable record, distinguished
bravery, unsullied integrity and
venerable age makes him the pa
triarch among populists in the
southern part of the state.
Major Bowler Of Bird Island
/ was reelected as President of
the State League. The Major
is an ideal presiding officer. They
don't rattle him on parliamentary
questions, nor can anybody i'm
pose on him with frivolities or
clap trap. The Mayor is one OF
the leading populists Of the state
and viii agure prominently in
the party in the coming cam
paign. ~... ....- .~
