THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The most conspicuous feature of the
campaign of the several candidates for the
St. Louis nomination has been the deter
mination of the rank and file to be heard.
Nothing has been said or done to weaken
by unfair means the candidacy of any
one and all along there has been evidence
in abundance that whoever might he Sc
lected to lead the party would rally to
him the entire strength of the party. For
more than two years the rank and file
have been working on lines of harmony.
The Importance of rescuing the country
from the ruinous policy of Cleveland ad-
ministration awakened degree of enthu-
siasm in the party that has grown wider
and deeper until it may be said that the
party Is now more closely cemented than
ever before. There is harmony everv-
where, and purpose of unanimity of ac-
tion that the Democracy would find to be
irresistible even were it never itself so
united.
AS to the oneness of sentiment which
has swept Mr.. Mckinley to the front of
the party. it was the spontaneous upris-
ing OF the rank and file to center their
efforts upon man in whom, they firmly
believed, was found every requirement of
a leader that should not only lead on to
certain victory, but who would adopt such
policy, when elected, as would establish
strong and permanent lines upon which

to be offered by the Peoples party. They have
always demanded the free coinage of silver,
but only as minor issue, knowing full we'll
thAt II we had Tree coinage OF silver it would
take too many years with all the mints at
work coming it to begin TO meet the urgent
needs OF the country for "more money; and
so they demand full legal-tender paper money
based as bonds are on the wealth. the faith
and credit of the Nation, exchangeable with
any other form OF monoy, but not TO be ''re-
deemed" in any other sense or manner than
gold is redeemed. Populists also demand the
absolute abolition of all so-called National
banks as banks issuing bills to circulate
as a, money. 9 and that the Government alone
snail issue all money, whether it be
gold, silver or paper, and they fur
ther demand that no discrimination shall
be made by especial contracts or by the rul-
ing OF the Treasury Department in favor OF one
particular kind OF money affirming that such
discrimination is rank disoyalty TO the Gov
ernment and against public policy. On all
these principles straight Populists are agreed
to man, and, what is of vaster import, these
are all vital principles with them. Can q
party holding such principles of finance afil-
holds none of them. but scouts Populists as
''cranks" given over to financial delusions'?
He has not even Glowing acquaintance"
with straight Populists who deludes himself
with the thought that such thing is possible.
There is Il final reason which renders
"fusion'' with National Democracy not only
imposs 1ble, but absurd. For the Populists at
their National Convention in st. Louis July %
to lndorse the Chicago free-silver Democratic
nominees and then go home and vote for them
would require that they should be counted as
Democrats and cease to exist as party, and
that too, on minor issue of finance as they
understand it J This would not only disbend
them as party but would require them to ac-
cept match and forego the fuel for cooking
their dinner, or TO accept dime instead OF
500 in good Government money. There will
be no fusion" with Democracy by the Peoples
party on National candidates, and commend
to the San Francisco Bulletin more familiar
acquaintance with the principles and guiding
purpose OF the Peoples party.
In my next letter shall try to show how
there will yet be a solid and compact union
between the Popul1sts and all earnest and hon
est silver men; such Union as will give the
gold men quite enough to do in the coming
contest before the people who "desfre a

SOME CHARAC ERISrTCS OF THE
CONVENTION.
ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

Next to newness in the work, the notable
characteristics of the convention will be the
youthfulness of the delegates. 1t will give a
queer sensation to the two or three veterans
who voted thirty-seven times in 1880 for "the
Old Commander" and who still treasure the
1906 medals" to see U. S. Grant rise at the
head of the California delegation and as chair
man make the announcements.
AS is usual, several hundred seats in the
gallery have been set apart for the Grand
Army. The veterans will be we'll represented
among the lookers-on, but there will be fewer
OF them in the delegate chairs than in any
previous convention since the war. Generals
will be scarce. Conspicuous among them and
outranking all but one other of them will be
Confederate. An ex-private is to be nom-
mated. Truly the Civil War is a long way back
when this can be said of Republican Ma
tional convention.
The venerable Richard w Thomson will sit
at the head of the Indiana delegation, but the
more venerable John /. Blair of New Jersey
will be missing. Mr.. Blair was in the Mime
apolis convention. He was the only man
there who had helped to nominate both Har-
risons, William Henry and his grandson
Benjamin. He had sat in every Republican
National Convention since the birth OF the
party. He said then that MINNEAPOLIS was his
last Mr.. Thompson now becomes the father
has known more Presidents than any man
living. President Hayes went to the banks OF
the Wabash to find a Secretary of the Navy,
and when Mrs. Thompson heard OF it she
said:
"Why Richard can't even swim"

the people might plant and reap to their
own good. 1t is no reflection upon the
great leaders of the party that public SEN
timent should select Mr. Mckinley, nor
has any one the right to question the
judgment of the rank and file.
Why or how the people come to rally
around Mr.. Mckinley by common con-
sent, as it were, is well known. He has
always been a fearless and outspoken
champion of whatever was conducive to
the betterment of the conditions under
which the great middle class existed. lie
wanted TO see every American working
man have his own home. He wanted to
strengthen the trade lines of the dealer in
goods and wares. He wanted to see the
farmer amply rewarded for his toll. He
wanted to see mill and factory shielded
from competition of countries who made
paupers of their operatives that they might
themselves wax fat. He wanted to see
America create wealth for division among
Americans. He wanted the American
idea of home and social and business life
to prevail.
These are some of the reasons why the
deepest and most intense enthusiasm that
the people are capable of has been
awakened to the Importance of taking the
affairs of the Government out of the
hands of the Democratic party, and as Mr..
Mckinley, more than any other one man,
has caused this unanimity of sentiment to
prevail he became the logical and newt
able choice of the people.

A WORD TO WAGE-EARNERs.

If wage-earnerS are not satisfied with
small pay and an occasional job they
should not wait to be asked to help those
who are trying to help them. If skilled
or unskilled laborer is deprived of oppor-
tunity to work six days every week at re-
munerative wages there is something
wrong somewhere, and he should bestir
himself to find out where the trouble lies
and what is required of him to remove it.
The wage-earners of the United States are
in an overwhelming majority, and when
events work against them it Is their right
and their duty to at least help others
to change the conditions for the better.
The wage-earner who does not know
that the entire wage class of the United
States has been in state OF distress and
anxiety ever since the Cleveland admins
tration opened our ports and invited the
abor of other countries to send its mer-
chantable commodities to our markets
and undersell the product of our home
labor is quite too ignorant 10 be good
workman at any calling. But those who
do know it know also that there is no way
under the shining sun to place their
sources of employment upon basis that
will insure to them constant work and
good wages except by joining hands with
the Republican party. They know by
hard experience that their industrial solu-
ton lies in system of protective tariffs
that shall effectually guard their jobs and
their wages against encroachment from
wagemen who are their interiors in all
that goes to make manly man.
A campaign against that sort of National
policy which forces American wage-earners
upon parity with the wage class of Asia
and Europe is about to open. 1t will be
bitter struggle. The Rothschild-W Wall
street theory is that the many should
employ their brain and Drawn to main
tain few III elegant leisure or in unnat-
urally profitable employment. That
theory will be advanced by the nominee
of the Chicago convention. The nominee
of the st. Louis convention will stand for
the American workingman against the
world, and if elected every man and
woman wage-earner in the United States
will be secure in his or her job and
will receive compensating wages. Thus
a question of vital Importance to labor of
all grades is before the wage-earners of
this country, and if they sincerely have
desire for regular employment and good
wages they should take an active part in
the work OF the campaign. Let there be
workingmen's clubs, and let the working
men mount the hustings as well, for who
can more earnestly plead for prosperity
than the wageman who has been out of
employment for two or three years?
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-12
TARIFF QUESTION PARAMOUNT.

It should need no argument to prove
that protection is in fact and should be
made the paramount issue in the approach
ing campaign. It is a self-evident fact.
By trying to dwarf the tariff question and
make financial policy the center OF effort
the Democrats practically admit that their
tinkering with it has demonstrated their
inability to comprehend the needs of the
country in that direction; and, moreover,
they understand that the more the ques-
ton is discussed and the better the iniuri-
Gus working of the Wilson German act is
understood the more glaring will be their
lack of ability to manage the affairs of the
country.
Practically every industry in the coun-
try is under the shadow of foreign compe-
tition. The country's manufacturing en-
terprises are either idle or running on
short time and willing wage-earners by
the tens of thousands are in enforced idle
ness. Our farmers can find no home mar
Ret for their produce because our consum-
ers have not the wherewith to buy, and
hence the entire agricultural interest of
the country is under the iron hand of
European m arkets where prices are made
by India and other cheap-labor and pow
erty-stricken countries.
The money question is important, to be
sure, but let us first put the country in
shape to make money. Let law equally
as good as the act of 1890 be enacted so
that our furnaces, factories and mills may
start up and give employment to the
thousands of men who are begging for
opportunity to employ their skill and
energy. Let the country's industries be
made to feel that they can go ahead with
out the danger of having their products
undersold by countries who grind their
workIng people down to tie borders OF
poverty that they may undersell US. No;
the tariff question is paramount. 1t is
the great question of the hour, and upon
its proper solution hangs all opportunity
for the people to live as citizens of the
United States should live.

years." as the Item puts it. Can they look for
that kind OF change by continuing the Demo-
cratic party in power, even if it makes a decla-
ration in its platform in favor of free silver
and nomtnates well-known free-silver men
When the government was taken from Harri
son and Mckinley at the last election
by the people and turned over to Cleveland
and large free-silver Democratic majority in
Congress special session was called TO repeal
silver legislation, which added $4,000, 900 OF
good Government dollars annually to the cir
culation, and these free-silver Democrats re-
pealed that legislation, contracted the Ma
TONS money fifty millions year and betrayed
silver in 1.-The house of its friends - or those
who were elected by the people as the un-
falterlng "friends of silver" Democracy can
not be trusted as the "friend of silver" and
predict that the people will so decide at the
polls.
There are other objections to Democracy 1t
has no National system of finance and cam OF
agree upon one. II cannot raise revenue to
support the Government 1t is a bond-issuing
party and has departed from the faith of the

FOR BETTER TRADE RELATIONS

When the committee of American
merchants return from their tour of
observation through the South American
countries they should be able to aid Con-
gress materially III establishing reciprocity
commercial relations between the United
States and the Latin-American nations.
We are buying largely from the South
American States, but we do not seem to
be able to sell them tithe of what we
should. They are maintaining a repub-
lican form of government, and were a
foreign monarchy TO attempt to make
conquest of either one of them an appeal
would quickly be made to the United
States for armed Intervention; but when
it comes TO commerce they are perfectly
willing that we should buy their products,
and they are equally willing to pass by on
the other side of US and buy their mer-
chandise in Europe. Something should be
done to remedy this injustice to our mer-
chants and manufacturers.
Brazil is selling US about Sis, ,000, 600 of
her products every year, and buying $685.
900, 600 worth of merchandise in England
to not over $14,000.000 in this country.
That is to say, we furnish Brazil $25, 600, 900
year to expend in English markets, and
yet, if fleet of British warships were to
sail into Rio de Janeiro to annex any part
of the country to England, an appeal to
the United States for help would be made
Immediately, but meanwhile trade
balance against US of over $100,0O0,0O0 a
year is allowed. And what is true of
Brazil is true in some degree of every other
Spanish-A American State.
The United States ought to sell fully
three-tourths of the manufactured goods
consumed by the Latin States of South

merchandise sales are not authorized to
represent this Government, but it is ex-
pected that much good will come of their
tour OF that country.
