All that has been changed. Every

A sENsI8Lk COURSE.

The Utah Democrat, published at
Ogden, Utah, takes a sensible view of
the situation and goes over into the
camp of an army that will 0 sweep
the field. 1t says:
The proposed silver party promises
nothing but free SILVER. They have no
press save @ few sheets that have
sprung up in Utah. These obstacles
are all overcome in the Peoples party.
They have an organization national
ard most perfect, with more than
2 900, 900 voters at the 1894 election.
They have an army OF over ) 600 ne rvs
papers that are valiantly fighting
every one Of thPm) for free silver and
other much needed reforms. Besides
tnIs, the party Is fast growing. WhIic
in every st ate that held an election
this fall the total vote was from 10 per
cent. to 20 per caHt. less than the Con
g~ressiOnal elec9iOn OF 1894 etIil the
Peoples party made clear gains in
every State. They gained in Nebraska
7 900 votes, iu Iowa 2 $1,000 votes. in
OnIo 5 600 votes, IN K4nrucky Is. COO
votes, In * insas we have not the total
vote, buCthey gained "a county officers
IN the city of Denver alone they gained
1000 votes. aud Utah they gained
more than 1 600 .Jtes. Looking things
~eQuaraly in the face, we believe 1t bet
ter policy to be able to be a part of the
great young party of the natl n than
TO simply be a tail to the Peoples party
kite. That is all the silver party could
hope to be-as alter the Peoples party
have held their convention 1t would be
suicidal for a silver party to put d ticket
in the field in opposition To them. 1t
would be the very thing the Republican
party would want to zee done.
Farther than this, the Peoples
party deals with the railroad q IestiOn
and the land monopoly question Surely
both OF these q lesJiOns are vital QIG8-
tiOns for Utah. We are being most un-
mercifully faeced in this valley in the
matter Of freight rates, and land mo-
nopolies r fast gObbling up the pub
lie domain, and our small farms are
fast passing into the hands of the
usurer. After looking at these Qles
lions from every SID we have con
cluded to unfurl the Peoples party
banner, nail to our masthead Finance,
Transportation, Land, Free Silver and
Death to Interest bearing Bonds, and
abide by the result
Dozens of papers are following the
example set by the D mocrat. The
way to fight for reform is to join the
ranks of the reformers. Those who are
fighting outside don't want reform
very badly.

OF COURSE THEY ARE QUIET

The goldbug papers of North Caro-
lima have been remarkably quiet about
Judge Walter Clark's letters from
Mexico. At last, the Charlotte Obser-
e notes the fact that Judge Clark has
written some letters, but attempts no
reply to his arguments. Instead, it
raises this question: But isn't it a lit
tie unusual for a State Supreme Court
jurist to be thus plunging into the pc
IItcAl arena2' This is outside of the
question under consideration and will
hardly divert attention from the points
so f~orcetully put by Judge Clark.
We have not yet seen An attempted
reply to Judge Clark's Mexico letter.

BOOKS TO GIVE AWAY.

1t is a handsomely bound volume of
$50 pages, and contains an account Of
the various organizations of farmers,
planters and mechanics, for mutual
improvement and protection against
monopoly.
Every man interested in the welfare
of the masses should read this book

Judging from an Invitation Of Mr..
Walker, chairman Of the Banking and
Currency Committee of the lower
House, somebody was in a great strait
at the Capitol. He asked the Supreme
Council TO appear before that commit
tee and give expression to the views OF
the Alliance on the financial situation
as it is at present, The committee
from the council, headed by Maj. Mann
Page, did not propose to walk into any
trap, and only listened to what the
Banking end Currency Committee had
to say, and referred the matter back
to the council. The views of the ALI
ance on finance are expressed in the
demands given above, which will be
laid before Mr.. Walkers committee.
A resolution was passed appointing
Hal Aver, of Raleigh, N. O., as status
CIcian Of the cotton crop.
Invitations for the next meeting Of
the council were received from several
States, and it was decided to hold the
