in circulation in the United States
There was little more than this nc
cording to the figures in Maurice
Muhloman's book Monetary Systems
of the World" But take the Secretar,
OF the Treasury's figures. The popu
]ation was 100000. The per capi
tai circulation according to that was
about $57.
In 1890 the money in the country
was about $605, ,000,0 900, although Sec.
re.ary Fosters report made for poll
tical effect, stated that it amounted tc
81, 599, 000,0 Using Secretary Eos
ter's figures the per capita was only
S24, but an accurate estimate of the
money IS as follows: Loss Of paper
money during twenty-eight years,
$50, ,000,0 900; boarded, low estimate,
$25, 600, 600; National Bank reserves,
$3.50, 900, 900; private bank reserves,
estimated, $3.50, 900, 900; total, $685..
100000. Deduct that from the figures
given by Secretary Foster and the
balance in actual circulation will be
seen to have been but $S03, 900, 0OO.
The population in 1890 was l,000,-
600, and the per capita $l2.5
The word dollar" is used to des-
ignate the unit of value in this coun-
try's currency. The single gold stan
dard has enabled the money lenders of
the world to so control the metal that,
like any other scarce and preferred
article, its value has increased over
fifty per cent. since 1873. The price
of silver measured in gold has depre-
ciated, but measured in the pro ducts
that are used by scientists and fnan-
cier5 to measure its values it has main.
tanned its position. Gold has appre-
ciated and will continue to do so un-
less the corner is broken by the Dem
ocratic party on November 3. The
continuation OF the gold standard
would work nm irreparable injury to
the debtor classes in this country, the
small merchants, workingmen, labor
ers, and the farmers. Bimetallism
would assure stable measure Of
values, and would give equal justice
to all classes of citizens.
Against the people in this campaign
are arrayed the consolidated forces Of
wealth and corporate power. The
classes which have grown fat by reason
of Federal legislation and the single
gold standard have combined to fasten
their fetters still more firmly upon the
people and are organizing every pre-.
cinct of every county of every State
in the Union with this purpose IN
view.-Chairman Jones of the Ma.
tional Democratic Committee.
The demonetization of silver in 1873
produced one Of the worst pauics in
the history of the United States.
The operation OF the Mckinley law
and the repeal of the Sherman Silver
Purchase act in 1898 caused a panic
whose influence is still ielt.
The maintenance of the gold standard
means the issue of bonds and the &c.
cumulation of an enormous debt. 1t
means poverty for the producing
classes and those directly dependent
upon them, the vast majority of peo.
pie in the United States.
The continuation of the gold standard
means the increase in value of every
debt, over fifty per cent. Since 1898
the increase has been over twenty per
cent The great debtor class demands
Justice, not reputation.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED

Bimetallism would mean more
money, stable measure of values and
prosperity. That is the Democratic
claim. In 1866 according to Secretary
Mccullough there was so, 1000, 600, 900
in circulation in the United States.
There was n little more than this nc.
cording to the figures in Maurice
Muhloman's book Monetary Systems
of the World" But take the Secretary
OF the Treasury's figures. The popu-
]ation was 35,0O0,000. The per capi-
tai circulation according to that was
about $57.

The Democrats of Natchitoches
are ''amoosin' cusses." After yell
ling for the militia to enable them
to steal the parish, they met a few
days ago to elect delegates to the
Democratic State convention, and
congratulated the party on the fact
that the steal had been success.
Among the delegates chosen were
Freeman, who stole the shcriff's Of
Fl ,c; Caldwell, who stole lcgis-
lativc scat belonging toJ. A. Tets /;
G.. l.. Trichel, who stole a senator
ship, and NJ. j. Cunningham, who
stole an attorney-generalship. Rob
in Hoods men once assembled to
congratulate their clan that COM

"pointed with pride" to their past

On The War Path.
K. l.. CASPARI, SECRETARY
TO LIEUTENANT
Governor Snyder Acts Disgrace
fully and Is Jailed.

r. l.. Caspari, of Natchitochcs,
Is Lieutenant Governor Snydcr's
private secretary.
Saturday night he took in the
local sights; also n lot Of fire wa
ter. He finally wendell his way to
the corner of Burgundy and Gus
tomhouse streets, where he acted
like Comanche Indian, and be-
cause the blue-coated guardians OF
the peace told him to cease his
war dance and yells be vowed with
terrible oaths that he would wipe
every policeman off the face of the
Crescent City's earth.
But Caspari was not in Natchi-
toches, and before he realized it,
he was peering through the bars OF
the third precinct station. This
morning he faced Judge Bezou,
charged with being drunk, disturb
ing the peace and resisting an Off
GER.
The court gave him $40 or twen-
ty days, and he left minus ten dol
lars.-Daily Item.

Teller VS.. Mckinley.

The bolt Of Senator Henry NJ.
Teller from the Republican party
furnishes the first real opportuni-
ty for the Democrats to win the
fight this fall.
Those men who have led the Dem
ocratic party when in power, and
failed to secure free silver, can
hardly inspire the free silver hosts
outside that party, and draw them
to its support.
So if the Democratic party would
win, and its only hope is to agree
with the Republicans on tariff and
with the Populists on free silver,
let it nominate Senator Teller for
its standard-bearer, and his nomi-
nation will be heartily indorsed by
the Populists at st. Louis, July
22nd,
Such man as Teller, who has
been friendly to the South and an
idol of the West, and who has the
confidence of the entire country for
integrity and ability, can unite the
great masses of this country on
the two grandest principles of
American cconomy-free silver
and protection-and lead them to
victory.
If the Democratic party should
do this it would astonish the world
by doing the wisest thing it could
do under the present situation.
On this combination Teller would
sweep this State against Mckinley,
and likewise almost every other
State South of the Potomac and
West of Pennsylvania.
Under this plan the PopulIsts
would come in for little or none of
the ''spoils," but they would be
absolutely and sure of free silver
and protection, and 9-tenths of
them would be satisfied, while the
Democratic politicians by reason
of the size of their organization
would control nearly all the APP
pointments, and would therefore
be happy.
If this is not done there will be
three Presidential tickets IN the
field, and the Populists and Repub-
Leans will combine on a joint cleo
toral ticket in this State, and will
carry it overwhelmingly.

FRIDAY, June 26, 1896

There is already disposition in
certain quarters, high up in the
Populist management, to attribute
tho Oregon victory to the fact that
the Popullsts confined their cam
paign to silver alone. This might
work but for the fact that the old
party candidates were also nearly
all for silver. The fact therefore
that the people preferred Populists
to the others showed that there was
something else besides silver that
attracted. In other words Popu-
lism, with all that the name i'm
plies, was the winning card in Ore
gon.-Nonconformist.

Portland, Oregon, June 4.-The
latest returns from Oregon show
a Populist victory. The Populist
elect both Congressman by hand
some majoritics T; Vandeburg, in
the first district, and Quinn in the
second.
vandeburg was elected by 1900
plurality, and Quinn by nearly as
large a majority.

elected mayor of Portland by 1900
majority.

The Louisiana populist. [volume] (Natchitoches, Natchitoches Parish, La.) 1894-1898, 1896-06-26

There is no use asking Populists
to endorse the Democratic ticket
because their convention declares
for silver. There are many Popu-
lists who, under no circumstances,
will listen to any such proposition.
Even if all their press and leaders
should try to persuade them, it
could not be done. The only re-
suit would be a hopeless split in
the party and the complete des-
truction of its usefulness. Non
conformist.

"Pops" at the capital, has sent the
following:
Baton Rouge, La, June Q, 1896.
Editor Observer Column Dear
Sir-In your issue of the Sth INST.
we notice that you intimate that
the Populists were ''gooscd" by
the Citizens League.
Neither Webster nor Worcester
is clear rs TO the meaning of ''gOus-
ed" but we take it to mean that
we have been made to eat grass as
a goose. Under this definition the
insinuation is not true, for while
our board bills are yet unpaid, we
are still subsisting upon grant
vorous and carnivorous as well as
herbivorous diet.
Inasmuch as our Irritation with
the Citizens League has not aiilict-
ell us as Nebuchadnezzar's sin did
him, we object to the imputation
and ask that you rctract your un-
fair illusions.
We arc sorry (for you) that yen
cannot sec that in the Senatorial
fight we used the &. l.. much like
the angry dancers did the prompt
er whom they wanted to pitch out
of window, but upon reflection
saved him for a club with which
they knocked the fiddler down stairs
True. the G. l.. did not vote to
go behind the returns, but they
were splendid clubs with which to
demolish Irrelevant and Blanchard.
These two worthless who have
been bareback riding the farmers
of North Louisiana for many years,
are now bundles of dead aspira-
tions while McEnery and his New
Orleans friends. who have been
"gall and wormwood' to said lcag-
ures, have by our indirect efforts
been suddenly brought back to Wig
orous life and pernicious activity.
In other words, the Pops have
no reform legislation and no like
lihood of getting any, but their
worst enemies in the State are
dead /; while the league has no re-
form legislation and no Likelihood
of getting any and their worst 10
cal enemies are in the saddle for
Federal pie.
The score is, therefore, zone
horse" on the Citizens League in
favor of the Pops, who are still sat
the bat" crying ''next p
Please make due correction in
your 'snext" and oblige
Your patient friends, who were
born in adversely, but get there,
