WHERE is McEINLET?

On Tuesday afternoon the an
nouncement was made that the Co
lumbia National, the Scandal and the
Washington Banks, of Minneapolis,
had closed their doors.
And another bank in West Superior
is gone.
1t is 1893 over again. The bottom is
out Of the pot.
And the Republican leaders now saw
they will get RECOMMENDATION of silver
through international agreement!
What do the Rothschilds care for our
suf1erings? They are playing for the
ownership of the planet.

LAW AND LUCRE.

II you should go into any Ohio town
and try to get living by fortune tell
ing, you would be guilty of a INSIDE
meanor and get arrested. II you
should 60 into any Ohio town and
take out license, which whould cost
you $500, you could become a licensed,
that is, lawful, fortuneteller. The
state says it is unlawful to tell for
tunes, but for a price 1t will set aside
its own laws in your case, if you can
pay, and make you a lawful practi-
TONER Of an unlawful business. And
this is government! 1t illustrates the
so-called art Of government generally
in America. You can get an unIaw-
full thing made lawful, provided you
can pay the price. II you can pay
the price you can own the govern
ment.-Coming Nation.
And you can steal the money from
the people with which you buy the
peoples government. And II you
steal enough the very people you rob
will vote for you.
1t is blessed state OF things.

ated. by our people, instead Of taking
the Maine nonentity of their ticket
and putting Watson on, and thus pro-
ducing harmony and good feeling, all
along the line, they actually invaded
Populist states, like Kansas, and In
sisted on our throwing Watson over
board and supporting Sewall! Then
studied effort was made to push the
Populists into the background and
ignore them; and make the fight in
the name Of Democracy alone, forget
ting that Democracy was a dish of
baked crow to all the old Republicans
Of the country.
We do not charge these things
against the rank and file OF the
Democratic party; they had nothing
to do with them. II was the work Of
a clique of narrow-headed leaders, who
thought the opportunity had come to
swallow the Peoples Party, and thus
get more brains into their bellies
than they ever had in their heads.
The scheme failed ANONYMOUSLY, and
to-day the schemers sit in Sack-clOth
and ashes. But still they insist that
the Peoples Party is now dead; and
that we cannot fight Plutocracy, in
the future, except under the banners
OF Democracy.
We do not believe anything of the
kind. The Peoples Party is the
natural leader in this movement.
The fight must be made on our
platform. We may cooperate with
the Democracy in 1900. but if we do 1T
must be the union of equals; we must
not be asked to again play the part of
tin kettle to the dogs tail.-simpiy
an instrumentality to accelerate the
beasts movements, as it goes splat-
tering and bouncing through the mud
and slush, ...
The Peoples Party refuses to play
second-fddle to any organization on
earth.

We would all endorse a PROPOSE ton
to impeach the old fraud for declaring
that If Congress passed a bill to recog-
aize the Cuban republic, over his veto,
he would not execute it. That is the
kind OF caper that cost Charles / his
head. But it wouldn't hurt Cleveland
to cut off his head off. He should be
hisembowelled. That would fetch

WHAT is THE END TO BE?

Darker ana darker grows the out
look. The smashing banks scare the
timid:-they hoard their money; the
surviving banks are afraid to lend
and hoard what they have. Crimes
Of violence increase: murders and sui
cideS become more common. Money
grows scarcer every day and the
struggle for life is more terrible 1t
is enough to make the heart bleed to
see the horrors into which mankind
Is plunged to satisfy the greed of the
great capitalists. What is the end to
be?

there was nothing left Of their party
but the crown Of the hat and the tip
Of the shirtrtail.
We must stand mp for the life Of our
party and its principles. While even
Bryan was talking nothing but tariff on
the floor Of Congress. the Peoples Par
ty was battling for free-silver. Away
back in 1892 we made campaign on
that issue when both the old parties
met US with howls for the Tariff
nothing but the Tariff Time has
proved US prophets and the Democ-
racy short-slghted partisans. We
stand justified by events. II any man
thinks he can steal our principles, and
then kick us all over the backyard, he
will find himselrmistaken.
We may have cooperation in the fu-
ture, but II we do we must advance
into it like high-toned, proud-spirited,
free-men. who "know their rights and
knowing dare maintain" We shall

Il BATTLE ROYAL.

There is great conflict raging be-
tween Spain's money and American
patriotism. Senators and Members
and newspapers are being bought ND
to prevent the passage of Camcron's
resolution to recognize the Cuban Re-
public. And we are threatened with
1.-The statement that miserable little
Spain will actually attack the United
States and devour us alive!
Ii the money-lenders can have their
way the last Cuban patriot shall per-
1sh, and the brutalized Spaniard' s
rule forever over the fairest Of the
West India Islands.

banks, which did so much to fasten
these conditions on the people for
four years more, are "busting" right
and left.
And the Republican party holds the
American people by the throat and
says to them,-"there shall be no
change until the whole land is pau
perized."
The Populist prophecies are verified.
but the Populists do not exult; they
weep over the dreadful spectacle.

MORE AND MORE OF II.

On Monday last the National Bank
of Illinois, one of the oldest, largest
and best-known banks of Chicago
went by the board, with assets be-
t,ceen t,celte and fifteen million of dol
lars! Two other banks went down
with it, one with 81, 10000 capital and
the other with S65O,O0O. There is
great excitement and fears of panic.
And Bryan was not elected either.

GOOD ADVICE.

1t is in "off" years, when every body
is cool and calm, that most of the po-
litical converts are made. One Of the
most important duties for the active
Populist to perform just now is, in our
opinion, to see that every Populist takes
a Populist paper. The mixed condition
of affairs during the recent campaign
renders this necessary. Il they take u
Populist paper they will see that the
fight is to 20 cn.--Ai!iaEce Vindicat0r. .

Great interest was taken in the debate.
and there was a large attendance OF peers

outs of LandsdoWne. secretary OF war, was
adopted. as was clause as amended %

Baron MacNanghton then moved an al
dition 20 the clause providing that wher

passed. and the bill emerged from the
committee stage and was reported 70 the

The vote on both the report stage and
the third reading will be taken on Nom
day. IL is believed ia well Informed quar-
ters that the irish land bin is now safe,
and that the opposition TO IL by the irish
landlords has been broken. This change Is
due TO a threat which Lord Salisbury pri-
vately conveyed that if The government
were again defeated on an important point
IL would be necessary for him 20 seriously
consider his position.
