q Now and then one hears the question
asked: "Who will be the Populists' presi-
Dental candidate?" Who t will be is not
easily foresaid. 1t will be for the National
convention to decide-but one thing will
every Minnesota Populst know, and thay
Is, whom he wishes to be pointed out as
Standard Bearer. Minnesota has one of
Americas most renowned sons within its
borders, consequently would every Mime
sofa Populist feel himself honored by such
a nomination as this famed son would bring
our state. Every one will understand who

Hoh. Ignatius Donnellly. The only fault

WHY THE PEOPLE ARE SUSPICIOUS.

WHY The PEOPLE AXE SUSPICIOUS.
The House of Representatives has done
another reprehensible act, that of voting
each member 500 per month for clerk
during the time congress Is not in ses-
sion. What on earth congressman need
a clerk for when not working, is more
than we can understand, and just why
congressman is allowed a clerk at any
time Is more than most men can see.
Judging from the late session work is
not rushing members to any great or
trying extent while in session, and when
not in session what there can be for
clerk to do is a connumdrum. Perhaps
he may work in the garden wedding
onions, or perhaps he is put to repairing
the political fence Of the member And
again it may be the member dispenses
with the clerk and puts the 500 down
in his pocket. Anyway it is such acts
uncalled for and unreasonable, that
makes the honest hardworking citizen
SO suspicious Of politics and politicians
This act is disgraceful and will do the Re-
publican party great injury with the peo-
ple.-Waseca Herald.

The Second Regiment Band of Wichi-

few Populist newspapers have ex-
pressed alarm at the prospect of the free
coinage Democrats controlling the Chi
cago convention; but Fl the claims of the
goldbugs can be relied upon, their fears
are groundless. A late, careful estimate
gives the sound money" contingent a
good working majority in the Democrat
&c convention; but even If the silver men
should succeed, there is not the slightest
probability that Populis.s will go to the
Democratic party with its inconsistent
record, and there Is no reason to believe
that free silver Republicans will do SO.
The policy Of the old parties for many
years has been in opposition to silver.

give a certain price for wheat and
corn. it would maintain them at that
price until the government was itself,
for reasons shown hereafter, bank
rupted.
But Brother Corey will say that the
United States government would
have to buy and store every bushel of
wheat and corn in the world. Not a
bit of it. What would the people live
on? They must have the wheat an d
corn. The government: by Offering
that market price for wheat and corn
would simply fix price for it all over
the world, at which it would pass
from hand to hand.
In the same way when the English
government put it into the amended
charter of the Bank Of England that
it must pay certain price, (the pres
emit price,, for every ounce of gold bull
lion offered to it for sale, it did not
drive all the worlds gold bullion to
the Bank of England, but it fixed the
price of gold in the remotest extremi-
ties of the earth; because there was
provided a certain, ultimate market,
at fixed rate.
This comparison, by the writer of
the tom-fool article quoted by Broth
er Corey, OF wheat and corn to gold
and silver is one often made, but it is
a very shallow one. Gold and silver
are necessarily limited to a few
sources of supply, scattered over the
whole pla' ct. All the gold in the
world, for instance, would make
