THE PENNY PRESS.

The Penny Press has made an
assignment. We expected this
some time ago. The Penny Press
has been too outspoken for the
right of the public and could not
live. We are sorry for it. The
people Of this country have not
woke up yet to understand their
own interest. We are not near
as sanguine of the success Of pop
ular government as we used to
be. There seems to be any num-
Der Of people who are incapable
Of understanding their own in
terest, and who fail to appreciate
the effort of disinterested men in
their behalf. Well, if people in
this country want to have the
conditions of Europe Inaugural
ted here well and good, they
ought to have it. IF the people
5donot sustain the reform press
they will have it and very soon.
Thousands Of the ablest men Of
the land have Of late years taken
of their coats, and ad yocated
measures to lisva ths poayr md

oppressed from vicious system
of political economy. If their
warning voice shall fall on deaf
ears, they will soon shake off the
dust of their feet and leave
things to work out it's own saliva
ton as best it may. There is no
use in throwing pearls before
swine. If the people cannot
now see that something is wrong
and that something must be
done to change our policy of gov
eminent, then they would not
see it if somebody should rise
from the dead and preach to
them. The fact thatone daily news
paper advocating free coinage
cannot live in Minnesota is a sad
commentary Oh the intelligence
of the people. We are of the
opinion that all this talk about a
government by the people, of the
people, and for the people, is al
together too previous. Possibly
100 years hence it may work,
but hardly as. yet. G. J.

THE FUTURE OF THE PEG
Plies PARTY.

There is no doubt that Peoples
Party as d party organization is
just now undergoing Il crisis that
will eliminate sometime during
the next few months. There is
no question about the success.
and complete victory of the prin-
ciples advocated by the Peoples
Party. None whatever.
These principles will be embodied
in our laws in a few years hence.
The repeated failures of the
plans Of the old parties, as we'll
as passing events from LAY to
day leaves no other alternative
but to seek help where it can be
found, no matter from whore it
may come. =.
But the question is whether
the Peoples Party as apo]itical
organization has the practical
political ability to assume such
an attitude as to command popu-
lar support enough to get into
power and carry out it's prin-
ciples, before one Of the old par
ties takes up it's program, carries
out it's principles and conse-
quently gets the credit that
should go to the Peoples Party
as political party:
The Peoples Party is made up
Of two classes Of society. One
Of these classes consist Of the
ssdaNed theorists, students: Of
political economy, philosophers
They are Populists because the
demand Of the party are theoret=
ically right. This. class ask no
other question than whether the
program Of any sect or party is
just and right As a rule they
are not praotlcal metn Of the

The racket in the Republican
party of this state as to what re-
lation the campaign committee
should sustain to it's nominees
is getting interesting The ques
ton has two sides as most ques
tons have. And the cOntrover-
sly is of general interest as we'll.
A good many papers seem TO
hold that a cam paign committee
should represent the party in
general rather than nominees. If
politicians we're strictly true and
honorable in every respect it
would be alright to have it thus.
But politicians are human, and
generally have their share of the
old Adam lurking about them
They are sWayed by interest
and jealousy as other people,. if
not more so. Hence we hold that
the candidates running for Office
are entitled to select their yener-
ais to run their campaign for
them. We cannot better iilu-
strate what we mean than refer
to the present instance under
discussion. Suppose Gov.
Clough is nominated for Cover
nor in the coming campaign.
against his bitter rivals. Would
it be common sense or reason to
allow his rivals to dictate his
campaign committee. Of course
not. No sensible man would
Want to run for Office under such
conditions. No, if a party NOM
mates q man or a set OF men for
Office it must let that man or
men select the campaign commit
tee. Nothing is clearer than
that. Hence all this talk about
the campaign committee Of the
Republican party being too near
the executive, is simply dictated
by secret opposition to Clough
and not founded in practical
philosophy. There are many
ways of beating d man for office,
but no surer way than giving
him campaign committee over
which he has not complete con-
troll, and possibly packed with
factions unfriendly to him.

and file will give such men their
loyal support, and second, wheth
er the rank and file will go down
into their pockets and furnish
the stuff to put up a fight, that
is a fight, or simply make a
mess of it, like we did two years
ago when lack of harmony and
lack of support married our best
effort.
We say to our readers that
this crisis is confronting the
Peoples Party now. We point
this out now that steps may be
taken to meet it, before it is too
late.
For several years many able
men have put their best effort
into this movement because they
are convinced that if it can be
successful, it will be Of the great
est benefit for the country. And
it can be successful! if everybody
will do their duty. But if the
men that are now doing the pro
laganda work for the party arc
not given the support from the
rank and file that they deserve.
they will be apt to be more OF
less discouraged, and rest on
their oars, and the movement
will end in ignominous failure, as
so many noble effort to benefit
mankind have ended before. We
emphasize again, that no matter
how righteous and just our cause
three vital elements are never
theless necessary to our success
at the polls, and without whicl
failure is absolutely certain.
They are: 1st. Trusted anC
skillful leaders.
2nd. Loyal cooperation o:
all Populists be, they high OF
low.
3rd. Liberal support from
the rank and file.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 18th, 1896
OUR PLATFORM.
WHAT THE PEOPLES PARTY BE
LIEVES IN. READ 1T, OLD PAR
TY MEN, AND THEN TELL
US WHERE WE ERR.

We, the Peoples Party League,
of the state of Minnesota, in an
nual convention assembled, on
this 18th day of January, 1896.
Resolve, first Oh the financial
issue we declare ourselves to be
unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard and demand the
immediate return to the cOnsti-
tutional standard Of gold and
silver, as it existed prior to 1878,
by the restoration by this gov
eminent independently of any
foreign power of the unrestrict-
ed coinage of both gold and silver
into standard m oney at the ratio
of Is to /, and upon terms ofexact
equality with gold for debts and
dues, public and private.
Second, We hold that power to
control and circulate paper cur
rency is inseperable from the
power to coin money; and hence,
that all currency intended to be
circulate as money should be is
sued and it's volume controlled
by the general government only,
such money to be based on the
faith and credit Of nation being
the same basis as that of govern
ment bonds) }, and to be a full le-
gal tender for ali debts. public
and private. the volume to be
limited, so as to protect the peo-
pie against undue initiation or
contraction.
Third, We are unalterably OPP
posed to the issue by the United
States of interest bearing bonds
in time of peace, and demand the
payment'of all coin, at the option
Of the debtor.
Fourth, we demand the enact
ment of a graduated income tax,
so adjusted, uuder the constitu-
ton, as to compel accumulated
capital to bear it's just shares of
the burdens of taxation.
Fifth, we favor government
Of the people, for the people and
by the people, hence. whenever
pra cticable, we demand that all
matters of national and state con.
Germ shall under proper safe
guards, be submitted to a direct
vote of the people through the
operations of the Initiative and
referendum
Sixth, We realize that there
are vital questions pressing for
solution other than those men
toned and concerning which
there are differences of opinion;
yet we earnestly ask all who are
in accord with princi pies enum-
however much they may
differ upon other questions, to.
unite upon these.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1896-01-28

OF late it seems to he the general
belief that the Initiative and Refer
endunn ought to be made the first
plank in the next Peoples party plat
form, and it is certainly very crafty
ing to see the Populists drift in that
direction. But, as q native of Switz-
erland let me say it here and say it
cmphatically, that the Initiative with
out the Referendum is no benefit: and
the Referendum, if adopted and put
On the statute book this day could not
pass one law in this country under
our present condition, and therefore
not too much ofour ammunition should
he wasted on it.
Albert Bushnell Hart tells us of the
gratifying results in Switzerland, but
there are vastly different conditions
in that country than in ours. | will
give you four facts and hope every
advocate of the Referendum Il. A.
Wayland not accepted will stick a
pin in every one of them.
In Switzerland ~ the money power
don t control the government and the
press and consequently legislation,
(2) \ ward-heeler is an unknown ami
NAL and the politician don't carry the
people in his vest pocket. (3) The
minister in the pulpit don't preach for
manmon. a. A man don't run for
office.
These four don is - ought to show
us that the referendum, if given us to-
day would be q complete failure, and
also show that it is financial reform
and a true Nazarenean religion is
needed. TO speak with Bro. Pass
more, I'VE must turn this grand nation
out Of the channel Of anarchy, crime,
oppression and ruin into the channel
Of her Godgiven mission of civiliza-
ton. WIN, S. Tuescher, Allegha-
ney, Pa, in Sound Money.
Now this is precisely the diff
Guilty that has occurred to us in
reference to all this Initiative and
Referendum talk. Farmers are
to day selling their products be-
low cost Of production, mer-
chants are failing, and money in
situations go down day by day,
and yet the people are bowling
for the gold standard, the cause
of all this DISASTER II the peo-
pie cannot understand that de-
stroying one half Of the worlds
money makes the other half,
more in demand, and hence dear
er. especial y as population and
business a re On q steady in
crease. We say, If the common
people cannot understand so
simple a thing as the effect OF
the supply and demand on mon
ey and it's influence on prices,
what is the use of talking of
submitting any question to The
people?
A great moral question like
the slavery question the people
did finally comprehend a genera,
ton ago. But whether the PEG
pie to day. can comprehend a bus
mess question, though it involv-
es their own material prosperity,
is a question, Universal suffrage
is a grand thing in the hands of
intelligent citizens. But in the
hands Of an ignorant, careless or
moralized people it IS ike the
razor in the hand of a n onkey.
they are ar liable to cut their own
head off
