Pay 1t Out.

Although Coxey's plan to issue mon
ey to build good roads, and thereby not
only increase the volume of currency.
but give employment to the idle, was
ridiculed and scorned by congress, and
Coxey himself put in Jail ostensibly for
carrying banner size larger than a
Columbian postage stamp and fined for
walking on the grass, it is not gen.
orally known that the road he travelled
from Masillon, Ohio. to Washington
was built by the national government
and paid for out of national funds.
The great national pike is an enduring
monument Of the idea which inspired
Coxey and is in accord with that part
of our platform. The improvement OF
the water ways is also exactly in line
with this principle. There is nothing
impractical, nothing unconstitutional.
or nothing new and strange in this dec
laraticn.-Extract from speech of w.

WHAT WASHINGTON SAID.
Foreign Influence the Foe OF Republi-
can Government.

Foreign Influence the Foe OF Republi-
can Government.
George Washington, in his farewell
address, among other things said:
Against the insidious wiles OF for
eign influence. believe me, fellow citi-
zens, the jealousy of free people ought
to be constantly awake. since history
and experience prove that such infiu-
ence is one of the most baneful foes OF
republican government The
great rule OF conduct for us in regard
TO foreign nations is to have with them
as little political connection as possi-
BILE. Why forego the advant-
ages of so peculiar a situation (as we
possess)? Why quit our own to stand
upon foreign ground? Why, by inter-
weaving our destiny with that of any
part OF Europe. entangle our peace and
prosperity in the tolls of European am
bition. rivalship, interest. humor or ca
price? 'Tis true our policy is to steer
clear Of permanent alliances with any
portion Of the foreign world.
Constantly keeping in view that it's
folly in one nation to look for disinter-
ested favors from another; that it must
pay with a portion of its independence
for whatever it may accept under that
character, there can be no greater er-
ror than to expect or calculate upon
real favors from nation to nation. 'Tis
an illusion which experience must cure
which just pride ought to discard.

NO. 19

1t has doubled the ueUls 0f the peo-
pie, and thirty thousand OF its repre-
sentatives have stolen half the wealth
Of the nation.
1t has secured by special grants
enough land to maintain ten million
people in honest industry.
1t has rendered all our laws inoper-
ative where the rich man is involved.
1t has caused the supreme court 20
declare it unconstitutional to tax the
rich.
1t has bribed men chosen to represent
the people.
1t has made protection OF property
the sole object of our government.
II has plundered the people, driven
young girls TO prostitution. starved
wives and children. driven men from
happy flresides to wander on the high
ways and caused the murder and i'm
prisonment OF workingmen whose on.y
crime was helpiessness.
1t is at this time engaged in fastening
the chains of debt slavery upon the
producers of this country. by issuing
bonds, destroying the money OF the
people. and setting up a golden calf
and hunk of soap grease 10 rule the
nation.
1t has caused young men in the mill
tary service to shoot down their faith
ers, brothers and friends TO protect
property" when itself has hired incen-
diaries to burn property so as to make
an excuse for using military force IN
driving men back to work at starva-
tion wages.
1t has imprisoned men for stepping
on the grass at Washington 4
1t has caused men to be sent to the
penitentiary for asking for bread.
1t was the cause OF the late war in
which thousands Of able-bodied young
men were murdered, and the principal
result OF which was the creation OF
debt whereby not only the negro hut
the white man is made slave, and the
owner has not even, the responsibility
OF feeding him.
And a hundred more things we might
mention.
But. We gods! is not this enough TO

THE WILSON TARIFF.
Not the Cause of the Present Hard
Times.

No. the Cause of the Present Hard
Times.
Those who claim that the present
hard times are due to the operation Of
the Wilson tariff are recommended to
study the following figures taken from
the United States statistical abstract
and treasury report for August, 1896:
Average total annual imports:
Tariff of 'S3. Mckinley bill. Wilson bill.
s66s .260 900 $3.50, 10000 s755,S43.635
Average total dutiable imports:
Tariff of 'S3. Mckinley bill. Wilson bill.
s443 SAC. 900 s4C7, 100000 1888. .333. .53s
Average total free imports:
Tariff of SO. Mckinley bill. Wilson bill.
s224 s15. 900 s422. 10000 $36S.510,0 ,0sS
Average total annual favorable bal
ance of trade:
Tariff of 's3. Mckinley bill. Wilson bill.
s47S75, 900 $74,5S7,o ss9,1s5.0Oo
An analysis of these reports shows
that under the Mckinley law We had
the largest volume Of importations
known in our history. The present
much abused tariff law has brought
about a materially larger favorabls
balance of trade than under either the
Mckinley law or the act OF 1888.

FREE BALLOT AND FAIR COUNT
One of the Demands OF the Peoples

One OF the Demands of the Peoples
Party.
The Peoples party, at its National
Convention at ST. Louis. declared in
favor of a free ballot and fair count in
the following language:
Believing that the elective franchise
and an untrammeled ballot are essen
tial TO government of, for, and by the
people, the Peoples Party condemns
the wholesale system of disfranchise-
ment adopted in some of the States as
unrepublican and undemocratic, and We
declare it to be the duty of the several
state legislatures to take such action
as will secure 4 full, free, and fair bal
lot and honest count"
With the Popuiists in most Of the
Southern States this question is one OF
supreme il not paramount Importance.
IL the pressing issues OF the hour are
to be settled in accordance with the
spirit of the Declaration OF Independ-
ence and the meaning of the Constitu-
ton, the people must be free 20 vote as
they choose and have that vote counted
as cast.
BY system of gerrymandering con-
gfesslonal districts in some states. and
constitutional limitations and bare
faced fraud in others, the great issue
in these states is an untrammeled bal
lot. Without it no reform can be ac-
complished. Without 1t platforms, and
declarations and demands amount to
nothing. To the Populists of the South
especially the importance OF this issue
is apparent. While they are agitating
other questions no effort should be
spared to secure to ever legal voter,
not only the right to vote freely as he
chooses, but the right to know that his
vote will be counted as ii is cast.
II the fear of negro domination ever
was any excuse for tampering with the
ballot box that day is past. Recent
election returns prove that the negro
to-day is with the party that most
feared his domination, or that that
party is guilty of the most fragrant
frauds on the right of elective fran
chise that ever desgraced a civilized
people. In either case the demand for
a free ballot is no less urgent.
The cry should go up from one end
OF the land to the other for the rights
OF citizenship. The dark frauds which
have been perpetrated on the right of
elective franchise is a blot on our good
name. shame to our civilization. No
party can any longer afford to condone
or apologize for base election methods
employed in many states in the South
by the dominant party. II this question
is pressed from now on as it should be,
the party in power must either amend
the laws and for its methods or the
people will rise up and overthrow 1t.
The right Of free and untrammeled
franchise is dearer to the American
citizen than any other. Let a concert
ed effort be put forward from now on to
secure that right. and in such manner
that the demand dare not go unheeded.
The Louisiana populist., 1896-12-25
AS TO SOLDIERS PENSIONS.

The Plutocrats Concern About Their
Payment In Cheap Dollars.
The sound money" people are WIS.,
IDLY agitated over what appears to
them to be the danger Of paying the
old soldier his pension in cheap dol
lars" 1t is not the first time this ele-
ment has manifested much concern
about the interests of the c1c soldier.
A suspicious circumstance, however. Is
that this concern always assumes
greatest activity during the heat OF
a political campaign. Most OF the old
soldiers are aware OF this and make
due allowance for the self-interests
which prompt this seeming devotion 10
their interests.
There was a time when the old sold
Ter was being paid In Accent dollars
as compared with gold. 1t was when he
was enduring the hardships OF tented
field. of tiresome march and dangerous
conflict. At that time this same sound
money crew were at home gambling in
gold. depreciating the soldiers money
and speculating on the necessities OF
the government. Under the cloak OF
pretended patriotism they were bleed
ing the country. Their specula;ions pro-
longed the war and added to its cost.
They purchased greenbacks for 40 cents
on the dollar, converted them into
bonds. and afterwards had a law pass
ed making the bonds payable lin coin.
BY legislation they made their 40-cenis
worth a 100 cents. They did this al
though there was nothing promised or
implied in the contract that 1t should
be done. Not so with the soldier. He
was first paid in coin, or its equivalent.
and the implication was that he should
continue TO receive his pay IN that kind
of currency.
But he took it in greenbacks.
He never grumbled.
He knew that the honor Of the Ma
ton depended upon the success of arms
and no: or the kind of money he was
paid in.
He marched and camped and fought
until victory perched upon our ban
ners. Then he was paid of in this pur-
posely discredited money and went
home.
In 1869 a law was passed which
made up the difference between the
coin and face value of the greenback
to the bondholder. They called 1t
protecting the National honor. A bill
was introduced to make up this differ
ence to the soldier.
1t was hooted at and scorned.
The men who remained at home and
bled the government were rewarded as
patriots.
The men who barred their breasts to
the enemy's bullets; who carried the
flag from Sumter to Appomattox; who
by their patriotic devotion saved not
only the Nations honor, but the Ma
ton itself, were scorned and neglected
by the treacherous leeches who bled
their country in its hour of trial.
Talk about justice to the soldier! Let
justice be done as it has been more
than done to the bondholder, and every
sound money blatherskite In the coun-
try would hold UP his hands in holy
horror.
IT NOW rests with the Republican
party to demonstrate that the gold

form party claiming to be aetuated by
principle and patriotism resorts to
such methods It can only result In de-

IF THE government credit is good
for a bond that draws interest why is
II not for a paper dollar that draws no

Shylock says not. Are you on the side
OF Shylock?
The Louisiana populist., 1896-12-25

THE most important lesson of this
campaign is, that the best way to unite
is not to divide. The men who first
agitated the fusion methods are re-
sponsible for the division in the Peo-
pies party.
