LOOK! THE DAY IS BREAKING.

Populists In the country at large, as
In the United States Senate, hold the
balance ofpoWer. Our firm and stead
fast adherence to principle is fast driV-
ing the enemy into one camp, and that
gives as new friends.
1t is impossible to avert the struggle
which is being forced on the country
by the moneyed interest. There is an
irrepressible conflict In progress and
the Popullst is the only party that is
united on the issue which Is breSking
the rest asunder. And therein lies the
ground of our hope. Forty years ago
the slavery sentiment in the two
great parties Crystallized In a new or
ganization. Old enemies became new
friends, and In the second battle they
won the fight.
So It is now and 80 1t will be. The
logic Of events must work a union
among the vital forces of the nation,
and that means good to the country.
Liberty is not lost. Popular govern
ment is not failure. Free institu-
tions will not perish. Peace hath not
! taken her final leave and prosperity Is
! not gone forever. The republic will
live. The prerogativeS Of the citizen
will come again and the government
will be restored to the people.
The situation Is full of promise.
Everything indicates q great coming
! together under the banner of the Peo-
| ple's party. Populists may we'll take
courage. The ADVOCATE congratu-
4 lates Its growing constituency on the
\ brightness Of the outlook. Our friends
are rapidly multiplying everywhere.
/ Wisdom in council and prudence in
action will bring us victory.
The advocate., 1896-05-27

1880 came from gold standard COun'
tries, only 46 per cent, came from gold
standard countries In 1894. This
marked falling off in exports from
gold standard countries and the
remarkable increase In exports
from countries in which gold is
at q premium shows Conclu-
BiVely that producers In those cOun-
tries in which gold was at Q premium
had some great advantage over their
competitors In gold standard coun-
tries"
The average price Of wheat In Brit.
lsh markets in 1880 was $1.25, while In
1894 it was but 81 cents, a falling off
Of nearly so per cent. The american
attributes all this difference to the
appreciation OS gold.
That the volume or purchasing
power Of gold coin has appreciated
greatly during the last twenty years,
all well informed persons concede.
But there Is not a common agreement
