SOME SENSIBLE REMARKS.

Mr.. e. w. Peet, of st. Paul, is an
able gentleman, a tirst-class business
man, prominent in insurance circles,
and brother of the celebrated anti
quarian. He is beginning to get his
eyes open. and when they are
thoroughly open somebody will hear
from him. The st. Paul Dispatch of
February 26, has this to say:
"E. w. Peet, who has just returned
from visit to the East. wnere he spent
three weeks. speaks of the financial Sit
uation as not being as bright as an
ticipated at the time of the bond is
afternoon he said:
when the bonds were issued the
country showed their faith in the gov
eminent by the fine respone it made.
This was taken as an indication of
the return of confidence, and for
time a better feeling, and, indeed,
moderately secure one existed.
ut was thought English investors
would regain their confidence and
place money on the market. The
good results, however. anticipated
from abroad have not materialized,
and the confidence in financial and
business lines has been gradually on
the decrease"
ut is a mistake to think that the
money situation in the East is
any easier on account of the bond is
sue. 1t is not. In Philadelphia, in
particular. money is scarce, and conf
dence lacking in the situation. With
security of stock bond collaterals per
cent is asked and received. This high
rate of interest surely shows lack Of
confidence.
ut is very noticeable in the East
the disappointment in the stand the
government is making in favor Of the
silver basis, and the failure to pass d
tariff bill. as expected.

getting into further d9bt, by the late bind is

We should say not. Imagine a
farmer rejoicing be cause he had been
able to place $4,000 mortgage on his
farm! Or merchant hurra hing be-
cause he had just borrowed $50, 900 on
his stock.
The hireling press has so annulled
the intelligence of the business people
of the United States that they are as
tickled over the issue of $26o, 900, 900 of
new bonds, representing $3.50, OOO, 900 OF
unnecessary debt, as if Spain had
made the nation a present of Cuba!
We have paid $26o,OOO, 900 for gold;
now the gold is vanishing faster tnan
ever before. The nation is paying a
heavy price for it's single-standard
whistle.

PRACTICAL CURRENCY.
A LITTLE STEAL:-ONLY THIRTY MIL


LION DOLLARS.
We want greenbacks from 81 up.
We want postal currency from a
nickel up. We do dislike to 60 to a
bank Or postoffice and buy draft or
money order for % cents, and the fell
lows to whom we send it are surfeited
with stamps. Every week We send off
to various papers subscriptions aver
aging various sums from 25 cents to
one dollar and SO does every editor at
cost of 3 to Is cents each.--NOrtOn,
kas., Liberator.
The above is true as gospel. But
there is another phase to the Ques-
ton. We had at one time about $780,
100000 of fractional currency. 1t was
non-interest bearing debt which the
people were carrying cheerfuily.
John Sherman was secretary of the
treas ury, and he wanted chance to
sell more bonds with margin for
commissions on the sale He en-
gneered deal whereby $50, 900, 600 of
interest bearing bonds were issued to
take up the fractional currency. AL
ready the interest money alone has
cost the people at least $50, 000,O 200. 1t
could have been saved by continuing
the fractional currency. But John or
his friends made 100000 or so-and
some pc pie call it clever financiering.

And think Of the inconvenience it
has put millions to, forcing them to
buy postage stamps, or postal money
orders, or bank drafts, when if the
fractional currency had remained in
existence all they would have had to
do would have been to open their
pocket books and take out the little
paper note for any amount from five

HOW is II.

Tom Watson, in the Peoples Press,
of Atlanta, Ca, asks these questions;
Is the credit of a farmer any better
after getting into debt than it was
before?
Does mortgage on his farm give
him higher rating among the village
merchants?
Most editors would answer, No"
Then how is it that this constant
mortgaging of Uncle Sans property
is going to strengthen Uncle Sans
credit.
From the way in which gold bug
editors write about the brilliant sue
cess'' Of another mortgage upon the
nation, it is plain that they take the
people to be mos thy fools.
And ii the election returns of 1896
do not tell a different tale from those
of 1892, it will look as If said editors
might be correct in their estimates.
1t reminds us of how few years
ago the daily papers of Minnesota
used to rejoice whenever the railroad
corporations formed pool and put up
prices. They were as tickled as if
they owned all the stock, when the
poor devils hardly had dollar to
bless themselves with. We punctured

A WISE LIBERALITY.

Charley Fillsbury, the leading miller
of Minneapolis, fthe mills now owned
by an English Syndicate),and for many
years head of the Wheat Ring, with
which our farmers have been so long
and so we'll acquainted, has contrib
uted 800 to help carry on "Single
Tax" campaign, for the capture Of the
state of Delaware!!!
Now this is kind and generous.
Charley thinks the taxes now paid on
the millions of property owned by the
English milling syndicate,-capital,
flour, wheat, mills, money, etc.,
should be shifted onto the farmers;
and the lots on which the mills stand
should only pay as much tax as ii
they were vacant! Charley realizes
that the English capitalists are so
poor, with the whole world robbing
them; and the farmers are just wal
lowing in riches. ..~..
Now Charley does not believe any
such doctrine is likely to win in this
country, not even in the state of
Delaware, but he thinks it will split up
the Peoples Pa,ty:-hence the check
book.
Here is another curious fact: A
Peoples Party League meeting was
held Saturday night in Normal Col
lege Hall. Minneapolis:-it was rous-
ing meeting, packed to the doors. A
committee had called on the Tribune
and asked them to give notice of the
meeting; they promised to do so but did
not. But meeting Of Socialists"
was called for Sunday afternoon, and
the Tribune readily published a no.
tice uf it. Why? Has the Tribune
any sympathy with Socialism? Not a
bit. What does it mean then by this
discrimination? 1t fears the People s
Party and hopes the Socialists will
divide up the labor vote; and so the
English syndicates and the English
bankers and the English gold-staud-
ard shall continue to rule this Eng
lishized-American country.

SOMETHING STARTLING.

A MAN BRIBED TO VOTE, AT AN
ELECTION, HAS A RIGHT TO SUE THE
PARTY BRIBING HIM, FOR A LARGER
SUM.
The universal corruption of our age
compelled the states to adopt the
Australian ballot law. 1t was
thought that if tie party who desired
to bride voter could not be sure that
the vote was delivered. as agreed, he
would not pay his money for it. But
there Is honor among thieves" and
it is found, by experience, that in the
hope of future profits the bribee will
keep his word, and so the nefarious
state of Indiana passed law that if
man IS paid one or more dollars for his
vote. and delivers the vote as agreed,
he has right to turn around and sue
the briber for thirty dollars more, and
cannot be himself punished for SELL
ing his vote.
The Philadelphia American says:
among the advantages of our
federal system OF government is the
opportunity it offers for the compare
tive study of legisl alton. The expert
ence of every state in the Union is at
the service of every other, and as
there are few novel notions which are
not tested in some of the states, the
field of study thus presented is very
complete. Indiana has been making
an experiment in the suppression of
bribery in elections, which seems to
IL cfof to hos no
Australian ballot, but as in England
and in Canada, this is found to offer
no such guarantee against the pur-
chase Of votes as has been assumed by
it's advocates 1t is found quite safe
to pay for votes, even though the pur-
chaser has either no assurance Of
their safe deliver. or not that which
existed under the old mode of ballot
ing. The improvement which In
diana has effected is in fixing the
legal value OF vote, and enabling
the voter to recover the entire
amount, if he has been paid less than
$50. He incurs no penalty for sell.
ing. but the purchaser incurs the full
liability for the legal price, besides
the exposur attendant upon prosecu-
tion. This liability extends not only
to the man who pays the bride, but to
the person who furnished the money
In the first instance, and to all the
intermediate agents in the transac-
tion. The elections have been held
under the new law, and the first was
followed by several prosecutions, in
which the voter recovered the full
amount. After the second there were
no prosecutions, and it is inferred
that there was no bribery.
There is not state in the Union in
which some remedy for the purchase
of votes was more needed than In
diana. The closeness of it's political
divisions, and the poverty of q large
part Of its voting population, especial
~ in the rural districts along the
Ohio River, made it unusually obnoxi-
| Gus to this evil. But there was an
other evil quite as great, namely the
colonization Of the southern counties
from Kentucky. at time when that
was SO strongly Democratic that it
could spare few thousand voters for
