Special Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. Z, 1896.
Although three months must elapse
before tins presidential campaign bears
fruit, good or bad, upon election day,
yet there IS IN political circles All un-
wonted activity which I think must be
a reflex OF the spirit which this year
possesses the plain, common people.
The Rothschilds- republicaus who hope
to secure the consent of the American
people to their own degradation and
enslavement by appealing to the Sec
tional prejudice Of some, the ignorance
of others, and the cupidity of the mos.
quitoes of commerce and finance, are
making vigorous and soulless fight.
Their leader, Mark Hanna, the mort
gagee of Mckinley, the foe of labor,
the assassin of the Sailors Union, the
stranger who throttled the miners Of
Ohio, the man who unblushingly boasts
that his tongue tied tariff tinker shall
be elected If it costs hundreds of mill
ions of dollars, has been to New York
of Europe have contributed to the Nc
Kinley campaign fund is unknown, al
though rumors on Wall street place the
sum at 81, 100000 with a promise of
double the amount if it be necessary.
What we do know is the manner in
which Mark Hanna is raising funds
over here with which to dehauch the
people.
Your readers doubtless know that
Bryan favors an income tax. This
thing, Hanna, has secured the lists of
wealthy people which were compiled
before Justice ShiraS changed his nina
and incidentally changed the opinion
which the people entertained of him,
and has sent circulars to all of them de-
handing that they should give on the
basis Of what they would have been
taxed for one year if Shiras had not
changed his opinion. This should net
the republican campaign fund about
$20,0OO.G00; much more if all pay up.
Against all this aggregation of boo
die, backed by venal daily press, the
reformers heve nothing to depend upon
but the patriotism of the people, They
even have to contend with a threatened
split in their ranks. The republican
campaign leaders are endeayoring to
turn that unfortunate vice-presidential
middle TO the advantage of Mckinley.
The New York World, working on that
line, published this week an alleged in
teryiew with Senator Jones. of Arkan-
sas, the chairman of the democratic
national committee, in which it report
ed Mr.. Jones as having cast reflections
upon the Southern Popnlists. l have
seen the reporters who accompanied
the World reporter when the interview
took place. and they ali agree that Sen
ator Jones never used the language as
cribed to him by the willing tool of that
lying blanket sheet. the New York
World.
This is o fair sample of the attempts
which are being made and which will
be made to create discussion and arouse
animoslties among the reformers. If
the people pay any heed to them they
are very foolish. Let every man vote
for Bryan, aud not waste his vote on
any elector who has no chance to get
into the electoral college.

WHO forced the fight be-

Who forced the fight be-
tween gold monometallism
and financial reform! The
Peoples party. Who first de.
clared that the tariff was of
no consequence while the Fl.
nancial question was unset,
tied? The populists. Who first
demanded the abolition of ma
tional banks? The Populists.
Who was responsible for
the passage of the in
come tax amendment to
the Wilson bill? The Popu-
list congressman. The Peo-
pies party was born of neces-
sity and it will remain until
it's mission shall have been
fulfilled. As long as there
is distress and discomfort
among the people the Peo-
pies party will be an active
factor in American politics.

ONE of the strong argu-
ments of the single gold
standard republican is that
free silver would drive gold
out Of circulation. Where is
the gold now? Apply the
question to your every day
business: notice the different
kinds of money which pass
through your hands from day
to day or week to week and
you will find that gold coin
is a very rare thing and that
nearly all the money of any
kind that you handle con-
sists of silver certificates and
treasury notes-paper re-
deemable in silver. Gold is
ever absent, when it is need
ed it cannot be found. Give
us a bimetallic standard and
it will spring from its hiding
place and circulate among
the people and gold and sill
yer will walk hand-in-hand
through the avenues of bus
mess and prosperity.

The Capital wishes to send short
message to Congress. It will be brief,
but important to the West. 1t is this:
"Stop your windy speeches about the
election bills; pass the Plumb measure
for the free coinage of silver, and give
the country one OF two hundred mil
lions more Of paper currency.
1t is not as long as the presidents
message, but it will dc the country and
the republican party more good, If it is
acted upon, than a dozen messages
like the last one. The West and South
are growing very tired seeing the
money influences of the East stop the
promised financial legislation. TO

Ten Years of Process.

1t has been but little more than ten
years since the United States began the
building Of new navy. At that time
the navy was little more than a
farce. consisting of antlquated wooden
vessels mounting smooth bore guns. Its
chief end was to keep certain repair shops
busy and provide an excuse for approprla-
tions Of public money which found its way
into the pockets of political favorites. Dur
ing Mr.. Cleveland's first administration
the policy OF building a new navy worthy
OF the country was firmly established;
and now. after the lapse of only a few
years, the United States are really one of
the naval powers Of the world. The navy
consists of no less than thirteen powerful
armored battle ships and coast defense
vessels, some thirty swift steel cruisers
and number of inferior craft.
Broadly speaking. the navles of the
United States and OF Spain are about the
same size, and the navles of Russia and
Germany are a little larger But there are
doubts If the navy of either country men
toned would be more than a match for
our navy. Our ships are all strictly up to
date. in the matter of construction, speed
and armament, while many of those Of
the foreign navies are old and slow and
are armed with guns much less powerful.
II Spain, Russia or Germany were to send
a fleet 10 our shores with hostile pur-
pose. the American navy would be able
not only TO prevent It from doing a great
deal Of damage. but to blow 1t out of the
water.
Great Britain and France are sim long
way In the lead in naval strength. But at
the rate the United States are progress
ing. the probabilities are that these two
will, at no very distant day. be the only
powers with navies superior to our own.
There are now building and authorized by
this government six battle ships. These
added to the five of their class already
ahoat, will make a fleet OF fighting ma
chimes fit to cope with any fleet of like size
in the world. With these vessels. and the
coast defense monitors, to defend the
home ports. and with a large feet of cruis-
ers to prey upon the commerce of an enc
my, the United States will be in a posi-
ton to back up any demand they may feel
called upon to make on any other govern
ment. A decade ago they could hardly de-
mand and enforce the respect of their
small neighbors, the Latin-American re-
publics.
