A Sound Money Populist.

It is probable that there is no more
ardent supporter of the sound money
cause in Minneapolis than O. B. Maben,
one of the leaders of the Populist cause.
81 believe thoroughly in sound money, "
said Mr. Maben yesterday. II want to
see the Populist party take the right
kind Of a position on this currency ques-
ton, and / view with considerable alarm
the attitude that some of the leaders
have already taken. 1 can't for the life
of me see how silver coinage would help
the people of Minnesota. Silver legisla-
ton is class legislation pure and simple,
and all the remainder of the states not
producing silver will have to pay for
granting the privileges that Populists
propose to the silver states. There is
more sound money sentiment in the
party than is generally supposed. When
the national convention is held it will
develop that great many of the con-
sentative leaders will oppose taking an
outspoken stand in favor of the white
metal The silver men say they will
carry everything in Minnesota. They
will probably have great deal of
strength, but it will not last long. This
silver talk is an iridescent dream of a
few theorists. If the Populist party sac
rifices everything to it and makes the
silver plank the dominant issue in the
present campaign, am afraid for its
future. ST., Paul Pioneer Press.

ROD AND GUN NOTES.

What Our Sportsmen are Doing to Pass
the Long Summer Days.
Bart Crowther is getting to be
quite an expert at ''yauking out"
bass.
Mr.. VIM. II. Pancoast and wife
are both ardent anglers, and have
succeeded in making sew eral nice
catches Of bass at Lakeview. Mrs.
Paucoast landed a black bass with
q reel and line last Thursday
morning which weighed three
pounds.
Col. A. H. Piety, of the San An
tonic Gun club, is one Of the most
patient fishermen among the ang-
ling fraternity; and as patience is
generally rewarded, the colonel is
not ( far behind in the catches
made.
Menu ers of the San Antonio
Gun club with their families, are
frequent visitors to Lake Elmen.
dorf, since the fishing season
opened.
Mayor Elmendorf did the right
thing when he turned over the
entire keeping OF the lake to the
San Antonio Gun club.
The directors have since passed
a bylaw regulating the fishing
and making six bass the maxi
mum for q days catch for one per.
son.
The value OF this rule can be
readily understood by all who are
allowed the privilege OF fishing
1t encourages the throwing back
Of the smaller fish when caught,
and creates desire on the part of
the angler for larger game.
The San Antonio Gun club has
made application to the United
States fish commissioner at Wash
ington, for five thousand bass fry;
same will be put in Lake Elmen-
dorf next spring.
Mr.. Chas. Wagner wife and chill
dren, and Miss Bertha Baer, tried
their luck at fishing last Wednes-
day evening at Lakeview, and
caught several bass. Charlie
wasn't in it.
Judging from the way dove are
punching, the time for shooting
them is fast approaching.
Prairie chickens are reported
numerous along the line of he S.

secrIoNALl8M AND FREE SILVER.

Un-Ame,ican Attempts to Prejudice the
South and West Against the North and
East.
The advocates Of the silver standard
find their strongest support in the
southern and western states, and their
chief arguments are appeals to the peo-
pie Of those sections to vote for free
coinage because it is not wanted by the
north and east. The attempt to obscure
the real issue Of silver monometallism
versus our present system, in which gold
and silver are both used as money in al
most equal amounts, by stirring up Sec
tional hate and prejudice, has been par
tally successful, SO that large numbers
of the citizens of the south and west
have come to look on the people of the
north and east as enemies and Cypress
ors
The existence of this hostile sentiment
toward the longer settled and richer
sections of the country is both unreason-
able and DANGEROUS. Unreasonable, be-
cause it is based ON the false assertion
that our financial system favors the
north and east, while, as every sensible
man knows, the currency laws are ex-
actly the same for every state and terri
tory in the Union. 1t is true that there
is not so much wealth in the south and
west as in the other states, but this is
because the north and east are older
and industries of all kinds have been
established far longer than in the states
which are mainly devoted to farming
and cotton growing. In recent years a
great change istaking place, newcotton
and wooden factories, iron furnaces and
steel mills, and various other industries
are rapidly being built, and if this de-
velopment of the vast national resources
Of the south and west is allowed to go
on unhindered by Populist and silyerite
attacks ON capital the northeast will be
surpassed i'm the number and magnitude
of its manufacturing enterprises.
To carry on this establishment of new
industries great amounts of capital are
necessary. And here lies the chief dam
ger of the cheap money sectionalism.
By representing the people of the south
and west as dishonest repudiationists,
who are anxious to cheat their creditors
out of one-half of their just dues, the
agitators for a debased currency will
check the flow of surplus capital from
the older states to the sections where it
is most needed This will increase the
poverty of the men who now complain
that they are poor, and will tend to
magnify their hatred and jealousy of
the people of the north and east. Then
instead of harmonious union we shall
have continual strife and discord, to the
mutual loss Of all parts of the Country.
This is the direction in which the sill
verites are burrying. To effectually kill
out this unnational and anti-American
sentiment the free coinage agitation
must be routed in November.
