DIR. MILLER AND FINANCE

EDITORS INDEX: saw in the Cres-
set of March 9th, an article from E. p.
Miller, saying if congress would pass
an act to raise the duties on imports
by increasing the tariff generally, pros
perity would Immediately return. He
says the hard times are in no way due
TO the decentralization of silver. In
this statement l take issue with the

halt OF Its value was then made value
less. The bill was passed by &. repub.
lican congress and signed by U. S.
Grant, a republican president.
DR.. Miller does not seem to under
stand the history of the past. Ho says
the use of silver drives gold out of cir
cuiation. Gold is cowardly; it ran
away and hid at the first crack of gun
at the commencement of war. Con-
gress was called together to devise
some means for carrying on the war.
The members of that congress were
forced to the conclusion that the coun.
try must have safe and reliable cur
rency, money that would stand by
the government in it's hour of need and
distress. War, grim war, was upon us.
This money went to and fro, sent fer

do not need yoG. Go away you green
back, you are good enough to pay the
soldier but not good enough to pay the
bondholder; you have out-lived your
usefulness" The greenback entreat-
ed: "Oh, Father Grant, don't permit
it; they want their bonds payable in
coin, but don't let them degrade me.

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Hutchinson convention last
Wednesday which selected this states
delegation to the national convention.
was the first stroke by the party of this
state this year. From the action of
this convention, it is seen that the Peo-
pies party is active and aggressive, and
while it was only a delegate convention
there was no lack OF enthusiasm and
earnestly.
Several good speeches were made
while the committees were preparing
I their reports, among which was one by
Hon. Jerry Simpson, Hon. l.. D. Lew
cling, Hon. w. A. Harris, Judge Dos
ter, Senator Leedv and others. All
were to the point and well received.
The various committee reports, ex-
eept tie report of the committee on
resolutions, are here omitted. Col. w.
A. Harris was chairman of the commit
tee on resolutions and the report was
| as follows:
Reafhrming faith in the peoples party and
its principles we invite the alliance and coop

| the European level OF prices, we call the at
tention Of the American people to the fact
proven by many trials that changing from one
| Old party to another has brought no relief
| from the burdens under which the people are
| struggling. but that on the contrary condi-
| tons have constantly grown worse and we ask
all lovers of their country to unite with us In
an honest and earnest effort for relief
First-We favor the overthrow and destruc-
ton af all monopolies, trusts and combines
| organized for the plumber and oppression of
| the people.
Second-We demand strict and effective con-
troll and supervision by the government of all
corporations, performing public or quasi-pub-
lie functions and If necessary TO protect pub
lie interests, the ownership by the govern
| ment of all public utilities.
Fourth-We demand that the president aud
secretary of the treasury be deprived of the
power to issue or sell bonds without the auth
| ority of congress being first given for each
| separate issue.
Fifth-We believe that all the money of the
country, whether coin or paper, should be is
sued by the government and not by corpora
| tons or individuals.
Sixth-We demand the free and unlimited
| coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to l indie
pendent of the action of any other nation and
| we believe that the United States is capable of
maintaining such Financial system as will
promote the prosperity of its own people
without asking the consent of any other gov
eminent.
Seventh-We demand that the constitution
al right of trial by jury shall be extended to
every form of action whether civil or GRIMM
al. and denounce the trial of our citizens by
I'M JUNCTION in contempt proceedings, without
the right OF trial by jury, as contrary to the
spirit of our constitution.
The several reports being adopted,
the convention proceeded to select del
egates and the following list was an
