WE MUST HAVE RESULTS.
That IL What Counts in tho Future Of Amy
Political Party.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Why single
issue free colnageP Not because it
Is the most important question; not be-
cause it would benefit the people more
than any other reform measure, but be-
cause it is the only question that the
great majority of the people are really
interested In. Oh, but that is going
back on principle, going back on the
Omaha platform, sacrificing principle
for the sake Of Office. Please keep
calm. Did you, my dear obiector, not
join the reform forces because you real.
lied the injustice Of our present sys-
tenn, and the necessity Of a changer
l do not wish to dwell on the various
laws that ought to be- changed and will
only state that / indorse all In the
Omaha platform, and would go farther
and deeper In some directions. But
the question is: How can we best
accomplish thisP A year ago Kansas
had Ave Populists In the House. They
were all good men, OF high personal
character, devoted to the principles of
the party, faithfully working for them.
Now we have one. Why?
Seventeen years ago was the culmina-
ton of q deep and extensive agitation of
thelmoney question that resulted in
an act to prevent the retirement Of the
remaining greenbacks, and the Bland
Allison act. There were then twelve
Greenbsckers or Independents in Con.
gress, led by our gallant Weaver. The
party had been gaining rapidly. The
benefits Of these acts were and are yet
In large measure Gnnulled by the de-
clded opposition Of the administration,
an opposition that has been remarkably
uniform ever since, never being affected
in the least by political changes.
l would like to call the attention Of
those who think that free coinage Of
silver would be of hardly any benefit to
the facts of the case. This small mat
ter Of coming 100000 silver dollars
every month had a very remarkable
effect n.the prosperity Of the country.
All branches of business, manufsctur.
ing, railroad building and farming, had
new life again for several years. The
point l desire to bring out is this: The
Greenback party in 1880 had a platform
with fourteen plsnks and two resolu-
tionS- all good and true, but the party
went In decline. The leaders of the
two great parties, at the behest Of the
money power, resolutly avoided and
ignored the money question. The
educational work that had been
done, the interest and enthusi-
asm that had been worked up,
was made non.effective, simply be-
cause it was not concentrated. There
was then, even In Congress, large ma.
jorlty for financial reform. Free coin
age Of silver, the issuing Of all the
money by the government, the prompt
payment of the national debt and other
financial reform measures, were ripe for
harvest. Party worship defeated fur.
