ROTHCHiLD AS A PROPHET

At the great Brussels monetary con-
ference in 1892. Baron Rothchild said !:
"The stock Of silver in the world is
estimated at some thousands of mil
lions. and if this conference were to
bresk up without arriving at some
definite result there would be deprecia-
ton in the value of that commodity
which it would be frightful to contem-
plate, and out of which a monetary
panic would ensue, and fa~r-spreading
efforts of which it would be impossi-
bla to foreteli."
Well. the conference DID break up
without arriving at any definite rce".-
and in the meantime values have
kept on dropping, dropping, dropping.
Aud yet, for stating facts in the case
as they exist today. some Of u good
citizens are called "anarchists.,, Until
the st. Louis gold standard plank was
adopted with a bilnetallic tail to the
kite, Mckinley was, according to the
present accepted measuring rule Of
gold monometaiists, an 'anarchist.'
Garfield and Lincoln, and u own
Doolittle, were anarchists according
to this same measuring stick.
If bimetalism was a good thing two
months, two years, or two centuries
ago, why is it not a good thing today?
Why should any sensible, %self-re-
specting mar "aop" simply because
some other fellow bulls the string?
Some are compensated fot "nn0pping,"
while others are b~a'nboozled into be-
lieving what the hoppers say is true.
But 10 the long run it pays to stick to
principl@. even if for a time it causes
privations and promotes a clear con
science.
1t is also interesting to note here
that nearly all Of the able men who
participated in the Brussels confer.

JOHN ADAMS ON BANKS.

Glorious old John Adams, the New
England father of the Revolution of
1776, and the associate of Thomas JEFF
ferson in preparing the Decla ration
Of Independence, would be Populist,
if he were alive today. We quote:
John Adams wrote to Thomas JEFF
ferson in 1913 as follows. "This sys-
tenn Of banks begotten, brooded, and
Matched by Dner, Robert and Gouver-
neur Morris. Hamilton and Washing
ton, l have always considered as q sys-
tenn Of national injustice-a sacrifice
of public and private interest to few
aristocratical friends and favorites.
Verres plundered temples
and robbed few rich men, but he
never made such ravages among priv
ate property in general, nor swindled
so much out of the pockets Of the
poor and middle class of people, as
these banks have done. No people
but this would have borne the imposi-
ton so long"
But John Adams never dreamed
that in eighty-three years the banks,
not satisfied with plundering the peo-
pie, would take possession of both the
principal political parties of the coun-

THE WOOL QUESTION.

We have received circular of A. E.
Becker s. Co., Wool Dealers, of Chica-
go, showing that:
The wool situation at the present
time, if we are to rely upon the re-
ports emana ting from all the leading
wool markets of our country, is the
gloomiest on record; it is simply
paralyZed!
The price Of wool has entirely
reached a climax. There is no doubt
that bottom has been touched.
Our friends metaphors are little
mixed, but he means we'll.
He adds:
In 1893, under the Mckinley act, our
sheep were valued at 1925, 900, 264. In
1896, under the present malicious bill,
they are worth only $65, al, 529-a loss
of nearly one-half.
Therefore he argues that the
change in the tariff was the cause of
all the trouble with wool.
But how does he account for the
fall in the price of our potatoes? II
any Englishman is selling foreign 20
totatoes in Dakota county for less
than we are Observation-Disclosures
would like to know it. We will load
our old shotgun and 60 cunning for
him.
No; Messrs. Becker s. Co., the trou-
BILE is not the Tariff; it is goldbug-
gerry. Every farm product has fallen
as much as wool. Don't let us have
any more of your clap-trap appeals for
the republican party under the dis
guise of business circulars. 1t is foxy,
but it won't work. I'D.

PROSPEROUS MEXICO.

We clip the following news item
from the Minneapolis Tribune, an adj
vocate of the gold standards:
San Francisco, May 26.-Sir Henry
Deering, the English minister to the
Mexican republic, arrived here last
night from the City Of Mexico. In
discussing Mexican affairs he said:
"RuSinesS conditions arc good in
Mexico. Copper is being exported
more than any other mineral at pres
ent. Americans appear to have the
lead in the smelling industries, while
in the nufacturing of cotton, lutte
and WOODEN goods the Mexicans are
making splendid progress. Silver is
the money Of the country, and the
great premium on gold is tending to
lessen imports and increase local pro-
ductiOn of cotton, jute and wooden
goods. The latter are more or less
crude, but are meeting the demands
of the people,"
We learn that quite a colony of
young men from St. Paul is about
moving to Mexico. to find the prosper
ity denied them. by Great Britain, at
at home.
We need another revolution of 1776;
but the generation that fought it, in
rags and homespun, is dead; and their
posterity is diligently engaged selling
their votes to the descendants of the
men their ancestors licked at Saratoga
and Yorktown. I'D.

4 MISTAKE.

Perhaps the Populists would accom-
plish more If they would drop the gold
bug for the present and devote their
energies to the chinch bug.-New
York Press.
There you are all wrong. The
chinch bug works only in patches; and
it does not touch the potatoes, or the
cattle, or the pigs, or the chickens or
the horses; but the gold bug devours
them all. And then everybody says
"Gocd!" il we kill the chinch bugs,
but there would be a terrible uproar
if we killed the gold-bugs. And GER
tain kinds Of weather produce spores
that fasten on the chinch bugs and
destroy them by the millions; but
there is nothing that seems to have
any effect on the gold-bugs they are
as salubrious as bed bugs and as pro-
creative. II we put corrosive sublim
ate on gold bug the daily papers of
the whole world would shrek as If we
had run a lancet into their vital
parts; and the army and navy and the
courts would all be put into operation
to defend him.
Chinch bugs indeed! Why they are
quiet, pleasant and harmless little
chaps compared with the gold bugs.
If We could get clear of the gold bugs
the chinch bugs would not bother us.

An IMPORTANT TIER

SHALL TIE PEOPLES PARTY TAKE
GROUND ON THE TARIFF QUESTION,
AND If SO WHAT SHALL IT BE.
In our last issue we put forth the
idea that, as the Supreme Court of
the United States, by denying Con-
grcss the right to levy a Tux on in
comes, upon reasoning which would,
If carried to its logical conclusions,
prevent all internal revenue or
specific taxes of any kind, had
thrown the whole burden Of the sup
port Of the government on tariff
duties on imports, that we should IA
vor plan that would divide the in
direct benefits OF such taxation
among the soorknaen engaged in the
protected pursuits, instead of going,
as now, TO men like Mark Hanna and
Frick and Carnegie. to swell the
profits of ungodly capital and build
up millionaires. 1t seems that while
we were thinking these thoughts
similar ideas we're busy in the brain
Of our excellent friend, Hon. Thomas
V. Gator, Of California. After the
publication Of our article we received
copies of California papers showing
that at the State Convention of the
Peoples Party, held at Sacramento,
May IL, 1894, Mr.. Gator offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which, after long
debate, was adopted almost unani-
mously:
1--WE request our delegates to the
National Convention to present the
following for it's considerations: I'VE
favor genuine protection to American
labor by the restriction OF the immi-
grafton OF foreign labor and by true
American system Of finance which
will render justice to labor and in dus-
try and restrain the evils OF Sury;
and we demand the creation of ma
tional non-partisan tariff tribunal of
experts by Congress, which shall be
subject to the control Of Congress, to
the end that tariff agitation may be
taken out of politics, and to the end
that tariff schedules shall be so adj
justed that the benefit derived there.
from shall result to labor and not to
trusts; and we denounce the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties for re-
fusing to properly restrict immigra-
ton OF foreign labor when having
power SO to do in Congress-"
1t seems to us that the passage of
such q resolution would take the wind
out of McKinley's sails, and force the
fight upon the great financial ques-
tion which he is trying to dodge. 1t
does not mean increased taxation, but
that the incidental and natural bene-
fits arising from the tariff, whatever
they may be, should go to the lifting
up of the common people, and not to
the greasing of the fat sows OF Plutoc-
racy.
We hope our friends in Minnesota.
and all over the country, Will discuss
this question and be prepared to act
upon it, advisedly, at St. Louis, on
July %. Whatever is done should be
carefully and thoroughly considered,
for we cannot afford to make any mis-
takes at this juncture. I'D.

MORE HUMBUGGERY.

The St. Paul Dispatch is engaged in
the old work Of whis thing through the
grave yard. If lies were truths tue
prosperity Of this country would be
unbounce
The other day the Dispatch sent a
sanguine reporter to interview some
Of the wholesale merchants of the
Capitol City. Here is the way they
talked.
Representatives of such firms as
Tarbox. Schliek & Co., Fl. G. Burbank
& Co., the Ryan Drug company. Pow.
ers Dry Goods company, G. Gotzian &
Co., lck'bben & Co., ETC., all give the
same reports, and eTpect that the re
during the coming months. The gen.
eral report as to collections shows
that the country merchants have not
been able to collect from their Gus
TONERS, buC they anticipate no trou
bic in making their proper returns
and in canceling all old bills before the
Wlntef months.
The farmers throughout the North
west are looking forward with Joy to
the coming fall, when they expect to
be again foot loose and free from the
Indebtedness necessitaled by the loss
OF crops or the small amounts of cash
which they were able to realize on the
markets. They report that the out
look Is brighter than it has been for a
number of years. and, but for some
unforeseen calamity, they will have
a harvest which will swell the bins of
their granaries with such plenty as
has been seldom seen since the time
when the crops Of Egypt were re-
served for period Of seven years to
prepare for the famine.
1t means plenty, freedom from in
debtedness, free business channels,
the handling of large quantities Of
goods and general prosperity. There
is hope in the hearts Of all. and gen.
eral feeling that the harvest will be
golden one.
Isn't that charming? It ought to
be put in poetry and sung to slow
music.
The country merchants can't COL
lect what is due hem-but-they
probably will before acinter comes'
herefore-hurrah!
And the farmers are dancing
around with Joy over the prospect of
another big crop;-with oats at Is
cents, wheat at SO cents, and potatoes
at one-half of nothing!
Just imagine an exhilarated farmer
drunk on fresh milk-cavorting
around and throwing his hat in the
air, and shouting hallelujah over the
brilliant prospect. Really these pa
pers are what Artemus Ward called
his kangaroos-''amo little Gus
ses.'
And there is to be freedom from in
debtedness in just about three
months. and everybody will be happy!
And Mckinley isn't to do it but the
crops! The millennium in three
months, based on potatoes! /. D.

NOT A FOOL AFTER ALL.

SLOW BUT SINCERE TESTIMONY.
We have been SO often accused of
being a fool-by the leaders of the
two old parties-that we have some
times wondered if the charge were
not true. Certainly, il numbers
counted. we were,-any time during
the past twenty yearS,-a born luna
tic: and if the question had been put
to popular vote we have no doubt we
should have been elected to the Insane
Asylum by an overwhelming majority.
But time at length sets all things
event." and even our distinguished
contemporary, the Minneapolis Times
(gold-bug Democracy. at last acknowl-
edges that we have "a great deal
more common sense than we will adj
nit" Which is saying a great deal.
for we are ready to admit the posses
sion Of an immense amount Of that
very useful article.
The Times of May 26, says:
"The Popuiist party of the United
States seems to have drawn to itself
all the elements of social crankism in
the nation. Wild-eyed, lawless an
archy in this political organization
sits vis-a-vis with philosophical dis
content, and these two are waited up
on by Sweet-voiced maid-scrvants
from far away Utopia. 1t may be that
these forces are calling for Ignatius
Donnelly, Of Minnesota, hoping to
find in him the twin brother of that
Caesar who constructed the column Of
h0 ~ ~ <,l; ~t-
lists of today might easily nominate a
than our widely known but much mis-
understood fellow citizen. He has d
great deal more common sense than
he will admit: more innate tact and
Judgment than David B. Hill, and
more shrewdness, natural, than
grandma Collum.
He is product of MINES ota-with
true Western inst nets and sym
pathies; his poIitico-social vagaries
being very largely Pickwickian. II
the Pops must have candidate for
President, their best, safest, shrewd-
est and kindliest man would be Igna-
titus Donnelly, of Minnesota"
Thanks, brother: you are very kind.
And the beauty Of such concession
is that it throws glamor of respect
ability over the whole Peoples Party:
for if it is once admitted that one OF
the chief cranks is not an idiot, with
straws in his hair, but a shrew d,
clear-headed man, then it follows that
the whole rank and file may be very
sensible fellows; and then the ques-
tion arises whether the lunatcs and
idiots are not to be found on the 9TH
er side, among the chaps who are advo-
eating the policies which are driving
honest industry to pauperism, crime
and suicide.
