The nation is being strangled with
a contraction cord in the hands of the
thugs of Wall Street. 1t is also being
held up by brigands that monopolize
public utilities. Its life blood is being
drained by the vampires of usury. Its
domain is being wrested from its le-
gitimate owners and turned over to
aliens.
The confidence game worked on de-
positors by criminal or incompetent
bankers whereby the people are robbed
of millions annually still goes on. Does
any one suppose that the coinage of
few silver dollars will remedy all these
evils? viii the output of our minis
run to their full capacity loosen the
contraction cord that is strangling our
people soon enough to avert financial
death?
Is such coinage OF more importance
than the saving to the people of $780,
100000 annually through government
ownership of telegraph, telephone, and
er significance than the saving of an
equal amount through government
ownership of telegraph, telephone, and
express lines? Is it of greater signifi-
canoe than the demand that the people
own and operate the trusts and not
the trusts own and victimize the peo-
pie? All these things have the people
demanded. All these reforms do they
expect from the hands of the young and
vigorous party that stands to-day as
firmly for free coinage as for any other
tenet of its political faith. Those who
bear the burdens have intuitively
grasped the remedy. They have
spoken in language as solemn and
sublime as the Declaration of indie
pendence, the Sermon on the Mount, OF
the Decalogue given amid the clouds
and thunders of Sinai.
Let there be no trifiing with things
that are sacred. Let there be no bar
ter and sale Of principles for temporary
victory. Woe to the leader, and woe
to the convention selected to uphold
this modern Magma Charta who shall
dare barter its grand principles for IA

How Control Work.
Garnett, Kan.

Texas has been experimenting with
a rather expensive State appendage
known as the Railway Commission for
several years, and results are by no
means satisfactory The fact that this
machine was rugged wrong in the be-
ginning is now quite apparent. 1t was
hoped that through the instrumentality
Of a commission the people would be
relieved of much OF the tax upon their
industries, which was being consumed
by the internal corporations" This
hope has never been realized. We are
paying more to-day for transportation
than We did twenty years ago, when
railroads were comparatively unknown
in this country. AS proof Of the injus-
tice and discrimination practiced upon
us compare rates paid here in Texas
on cotton shipments with those of less
favored States. Georgia has less rail-
road mileage than Texas and raises
considerably less cotton, yet the aver
age freight rate paid on cotton in Geor-
gia for 140 miles and over is 1.91 cents,
while Texas is forced to pay 2.95 for
like service. Even little South Caro-
lima, with her $500 miles of railway,
gets Ill cents better rate than Texas
with her 10000 miles.
The magnificent corn crop of Texas
last year is lying in bins and barns
being eaten up by weevils and other
vermin because of the confscatory
freight rates to the seaboard-and the
monumental stupidity and inefficency
of the majority of the present State
Commission. The fact is, the Commits
sion "as it is is a kind of political
infrmary in which are ensconoed two
superannuated gentlemen-one being
over eighty years Of age and the other
far past the years Of mental activity
and one, live, energetic, efficient Off
Ger; but one man can not do the work
OF three; hence the failure. II Texas
is ever to be benefited by her railroad
commission, she must place on 1t men
Of practical railroad experience and
skill in handling details; men in the
prime of mental .vigor: men who
have the interest Of the common people
at heart; men who cannot be swerved
from justice and right, though the
heavens fall. Has Texas such menu

The PEOPLES Hons.t Money.

When man half wild goes roaming
round,
With all his wives and cattle,
And squats upon his neighbours ground
BY dint of deadly battle;
The only money that he talks
Or can so much as guess OF,
He measures by a good fat OK,
Or calf If needing less Of.
And when the savage takes a fit,
To give up idle tramping,
And vows that some congenial pit
Is better far than camping,
He wanders down besides the mere,
For muskallonge and much pike,
And trades them to the mountaineer
For badger skins and such like.
And later when he heeds the boys,
And gives up smoky caverns,
And starts a line of sharp dcploys
To build saloons and taverns,
He hangs a sign out far and near,
Where immigrant can read it:
Gold bullion only taken here;
No trust unless you heed it."
At last our tramp becomes king
And cuts out scraps of metal,
And says, by jove! I've hit the thing
My phiz shall on them settle"
And so he calls his wives anent
And says, GO We, my honey,
And tell the ruler of the mint
That these henceforth are money"
But by and by the kingly tramp,
Is gathered to his mothers,
And knowledge sets a clearer lamp
To guide the steps of others;
And art and learning for the free
A dollar have created,
Whose basis is the honesty
OF freemsE aggregated.
Let wild men trade with OK and hide,
And tyrants heads stamp bullion,
The crisp fair greenback is the pride
OF the enfranchised million.
Hail, greenbacks! With the sure in.
crease
OF bread and meat and honeyl
Our friend in war, our hope in peace,
The peoples honest money.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 2O.-By max
ing an official statement late tonight
of his official position upon the financial
question, and by declaring in that state
ment that he is unalterably for gold,
John Boyd Thatcher, Democratic NOM
inee for Governor, creates one of the
most curious situations ever known in
the politics of this State.
The statement was issued after long
conference with Senator Hill, Elliot
Danforth, who was at Senator Hills
house, and Herrick, the Democratic
leader in this county. 1t was addressed
to the chairman of the State commit
tee. 1t is believed that this course is
approved by Senator Hill, William F.
Sheehan and others not in attendance
at the State convention, and is intended
to try and throw off any nomination
of second Democratic ticket at Brook
Ign and enforce fight at the polls on
State issues, leaving the National ticket
entirely out of the question. Mr.. That.
cher declares that he is against free
silver, but will vote for Bryan ant
Sewall for regularity, and fight the
campaign on State issues only.

Review OF the Result In the state
OF Maine.

OF Maine.
CANTON (O), Sept. 15.-Major Nc
Kinley received the following tele-
gram from Augusta, Me-, this morn
ing:
l offer you hearty congratulations
This is your triumph. The Republican
party has achieved the most sweeping
and magnificent victory ever accorded
any party in the history OF Maine
We have carried every county in the
State, elected every State Senator and
at least 140 out of 145 members of the
House of Representatives, secured
every county official, given each the
national House of Representatives the
largest majority ever recorded, elected
our candidate for Governor by the
largest majority ever given candi-
date for that high Office, Endorsed the
ST. Louis platform and declared for
| Mckinley and Hobart by $4,000.
The Republican vote exceeds by sew
eral thousand the largest Republican
majority vote heretofore given and
| the vote for the Democratic candidate
for governor is the smallest cast with
one exception, the vote of 1894, which
was only 5000 less. We have kept pace
with Vermont and proven to the coun-
try that the Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago will not prevail
when met by argument and reason.
We have been aided in this great
contest by many Democrats, who have
placed country above party and who
believe that you cannot divide the
people into parties on a question Of
simple morals and common honesty
They share our victory with us. Wha
more could Maine have done for the
cause of good government, honest mon
ey and protection?

DENVER, Sept. 21.-At 2:30 O'Clock
this morning Sheriff Newman of Lead
vile and Judge Overs of the District
Court of Lake county called upon Gov
ernor Mcintyre for troops to quell the
rio: at Leadville The Governor at once
issued the call, and before daylight the
entire military force of the State will
be Ell route to the scene of the trouble.
The troops from this city, two infantry
troops and a battery, will reach Lead
vile by noon.
3:45 a. m.-Twelve hundred militia
men will be sent to Leadville today.
The Governor has issued the orler to
that effect. At $40 o'clock the news
that the Emmett and Marion mines had
been attacked decided the Governor to
intervene with armed force.
Scarcely had the order been issued
before message was received from
Sheriff Newman confessing that he was
utterly powerless to cope with the stu
alton, that he had been ordered away
from the burning mine by the strikers,
and that a reign of terror existed.
LEADVILLE, Sept. 81, 8 a. m.-Be-
fore night Leadville will be converted
into military camp. Troops will be
on the way this morning. That much
has been decided upon. At conference
held between Judge Overs and Sheriff
Newman it was decided to ask for the
entire armed force of the State, and
word was accordingly wired to the Gov
ernor at Denver.

How the LeadvlIle Trouble Com
menced.
LEADVILLE, Colo, Sept. 21.-The
miners strike, of which tonight's law
lessness is the outcome, began three
months ago yesterday, when, at II at
night the men in two or three of the
leading mines walked out. The union
scale of wages in Leadville was SO for
everybody, but in 1893, when the price
of silver dropped below 60 cents an
ounce, an agreement was made that
$3.50 should be accepted for some clas-
ses of work until silver should return
to SO cents. This agreement the miners
afterward declared was unfair, as many
of the mines paid large dividends. 1t
was to enforce the original scale of So
that the men struck. About 5000 me-
were involved.
Within the last two weeks several
mines have resumed work, and this
week the output has been 1,200 tons
daily, against 1000 tons before the
strike.

protect the retreat of the dynamiters.
The shooting lasted for ten minutes,
