The Danger Ahead.

From my exchanges l learn
that all of the great packing
houses, factories, and great cor
porations including railways are
using every means to coerce,
brow beat, and bulldoze their
employees into voting for the ad-
vocates of gold buggery. Not on
ly have the men been interrogat-
ed as to their politics, but they
have had to make statements of
what grocer they buy their sup
plies 1t is doubtless the inten-
ton of the employers to discharge
all men who incline to vote a.
gainst the gold bug tickets and
thus compel so many to move
their residence just before cleo
ton that they will not get estab-
lished residence elsewhere in time
to entitle them to vote.
The railroad companies are
also engaged in the same system
attic inquisition' violating every
right of the men by such de-
mand. The information is de
manded, not requested.
This process adopted all over
the nation will browbeat mill
ions of timid, helpless workers
into submissive voting slaves for
their masters, but it will also
arouse the spirit of 1776 in men
and there will likely he another
case of throwing the tea over
board--but it won't be tea this
time.
I am glad to see this action on
the part of the naughty monopo-
lists. 1t takes a great deal to
arouse nation to resent insult
and humiliation, especially when
they are continually being fiat
tered by their political assassins
with the fairy tale of being free
l like to see these great, big over
grown boy voters ground into the
humiliating and degrading
conditions-nothing else will
open their eyes to the fact that
Lincoln warned them against
the enforcement of capital. II
men quietly submit to be forced
to do the voting to sustain their
masters, they are not fit to be

Land


First=7The true policy demands
that the national and state legis-
lation shall be such as will plti-
mately enable every prudent and
industrious citizen to secure a
home, and therefore the land
should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes, All lands
now held by railways and other
corporations in excess of their
actual needs should, by lawful
means, be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual
settlers only, and private land
monopoly, as well as alien owner
ship, should be prohibited.
Second-We condemn the
frauds by which the land grants
to Pacific railroad companies
have, through the connivance of
the interior department robbed
multitudes of bona-fide settlers
of their homes and miners of
their claims, and we demand
legislation by congress whichwill
enforce the exemption Of mineral
land from such grants after, ar
well as before, patenting.
Third--We demand that bona
fide settlers on all public lands be
granted free homes, as provided
in the national homestead law,
and that no exception be made
in the case os Indian reservations
when opened for settlement, and
that all lands not now patented
come under this demand.

Twenty seven millionaires
found it desirable to visit St.
Louis in their private cars when
the Republican convention was
in session, presumably in order
to make sure that the interests
of the masses were protected by
the adoption of a gold-standard
platform. One of them, a Wall
street banker, told a correspond
ent that the banks of New York
chad spent a hi of a lot of mon
ey on Democratic conventions in
the South without accomplishing
anything" 1t is important to
know just how much money it
takes to make "a hi of a lot"
for the gold standard campaign
corruption fund is reduced just
that amount.-Inter Mountain.

A LADY, a natiVe of Idaho gave
the following reasons a few days
ago why she was in favor Of free
coinage. "Ip the first place, " she
said. & l know that before silver
was demonetized, every silver
mine in Idaho was being worked,
times were good, money was
plenty, and idle men were few.
If my father owed a bill he had
money to pay that bill when due.
If others owed him he got money
for the debt. But since the
contraction Of the circulating
medium almost one half By the
characterization of silver, the
silver mines are shut down and
the men who worked there are
idle, or working for a acre
pittanee at other kinds of labor
and money is so scarce that |
have almost forgotten the shape
of q silver dollar OF the coler of q
greenback, Now if my husband
owes a bill it is a question
whether he can pay it when due
or not for the simple reason that
he cannot get hold of the money
when be should get it, and whan
others owe him he has to take
the debt in trade Potatoes, grain,
hay, uordwopd. etc. must be
received and receipted for because
the people have no money, In the
second place l think we have
given the gold standard good
fair trail and l have taken notice
that times have been getting
harder every year, l am no
politician but there are some
things that even a woman can
understand"

Il BETTER FEELING


New York, June 12.-There was a
more hopeful feeling in financial circles
down town to-day based, it was gen.
orally said, on the belief that a better
money platform would be adopted at
st. Louis than had generally been ex-
pected. The fact, too, that congress
had adjourned also helped to make
people more cheerful. With regard to
the expectations about the St. Louis
platform it was said that some of the
leaders in the republican party had at
last realized that if they wished the
party to succeed they must adopt a
money plank about which there could
be no doubt, no suggestion Of the pos
sibility of a straddle. Mr.. Morgan s
outspoken opinion on this subject yes
terday had done much, it was said,
to quicken the thoughts of the gentle
men who are supposed to be getting
the political machine at st. Louis ready
for work and laying down the lines for
the platform. An indication of the better
feeling prevailing in financial circles to-
day was the fact that bankers were
able to put out some large amounts of
money on call at . per cent, something
they had not been able to do for some
days. That was regarded by many as
the most significant feature of the
money market to-day.

PocketboOIks Gone.

Middletown, June 1.-Two women
had their pocketbooks stolen during the
circus parade here this morning. One
purse contained $3.15 and the other con-
tanned 81. A peculiar incident was con-
nected with one of the thefts. The WO-
man who lost the purse containing the
larger sum sliced hold of a man near
her and began screaming for assist
ance The man tried to persuade her
that he was not the guilty party, but
the woman was stubborn. FINELY he
pulled out roll of bills disgustedly
and asked her how much money there
was in the book. She snapped back
that it contained 81, whereupon the man
counted out the money and returned
the roll to his pocket. He said it was
worth that amount to get rid of the
woman, although he did not take the
purse. This action leaves the people
in doubt as to the mans guilt CT inno-
