popULIsT SUICIDE.


This is the week in which the
wisdom of the Populist party is to
be tried in the scales Of good party
business. The party has one idea,
that OF securing the free coinage OF
all silver presented at the United
States minis at ratio Of l6 TO L.
Outside of this they have a half
dozen other ideas for which they
have as distinctively stood as for
the free coinage Of silver. Among
these are the ownership Of railway,
telephone and telegraph lines by
the government; the establish.
ment Of postal, telegraph and pos
tai savings banks; the loaning Of
money by the Federal government
to citizens, actual landholders, to
the extent OF two-thirds the as
sessed values OF their lands; the
loaning of money by the Federal
government to municipalities for
municipal works. Not one OF
these has been in any way
less tenet of the Populist
faith than the free coinage
Of silver. 1t is, however, proposed
by the Democrats, and consented
to by strong faction OF the Popu-
lists, that all of these ideas which
distinctively make up the Populist
faith, shall be shelved by the
Populist party and that the free
coinage Of silver shall be made the
sole issue of this present campaign.
Not only so, but the Democrats OF
the silver persuasion and their
Populist allies favor the practical
disbanding of the party for the
present, in order that the Demo-
cratic party may ride again into
power on the strength OF the Dem.
ocratic endorsement Of the Popu-
list idea of free silver coinage.
This is an attempt of the tail to
wag the dog with vengeance. ills
no wonder that the honest leaders
OF the Populist party are aghast at
this treason on the part OF their
too plant associates. Some OF
them sense the danger and point it
out. TO surrender all at the de-
mand OF the free silver Democrats
and put out no ticket this cam
paign. virtually DISTINGUISHES the
Populist party. 1t withdraws
them from the polls as a party in
the presidential contest and tack
ing them on to the tail OF the free
silver kite Of the Democracy be-
Titles them for all time as q party
with a claim to be heard in the
great court of public consideration.
That there will be a bitter contest
at St.Louis before this sell out to the
Byranites is accomplished Is GER
tain. When these Populists under
stand that Bryan has only been,ad-
vocating his free. silver policy as
the paid agent Of the owners of
the great silver mines, and that in
plain english his free silver ideas
are coming money at the expense
of the interests OF the masses, not
for the masses but for Bryan,
there will be q deeper disgust
with the whole movement than
has yet appeared. AS the situa.
tion develops, the probabilities
grow increasingly promising for a
long session and lively fight at
st. Louis.
