Atlantic.

Hon. Adolph Bierman, ex:state
honest man, is strong advocate OF
free-silver. Talking to friend the
other day, in St, Paul, Che is now re-
siding in Olmsted county,, he said he
had been prejudiced against the Popu-
list idea of government ownership of
railroad, telegraph and telephone
lines: but he had been talking recent
ly to a gentleman who had just come
from Mr.. Bierman's native land-Nor-
way,-and he told him that in that
country the government now owned
the telephone lines: and, said he, 1.-THE
birds can scarcely get into the towns
for the wires; and rates are so low that
rybody, even the farmers, have tele-
phones in their houses"
Every civilized country is now ahead
Of the United States, because this
land is controlled by the Money-power,
through the two rotten old parties.
The great inventions come from
God, and, by right, belong to the
whole people, for the benefit Of the
whole human family: and they should
not be permitted to rest in the hands
of a few men to levy tribute on the
multitude, and, build up gigantic for
tunes, which are used to overthrow
| liberty and enslave the people.
Thus the light spreads. Mr. Bier
man is a type of thousands and tens
| of thousands of intelligent men who
are doing big lot OF thinking now-a-
days, while the old party daily papers
are in the condition of one of
Dickens characters, who had got all
London reduced to two back streets,
because those were the only ones he
could walk on without being dunned
bv some Of his creditors. In the same
way the daily papers dare not launch
their invectives at any public wrong,
lest they hit one of their masters in
the stomach; and so they fiddle away
upon some trifing, incOnsequential
topic that will hurt no mans feelings.
It's pity to see men of ability so
shamefully muzz.ed.

BIGO1RY.

Mr.. Cleveland wouldn't hurt any
body's feelings if he appointed Amerl-
cans with American names to posi-
lions in the consular service. Yester-
day he named Ignacio Zepulvida. of
California, as secretary OF legation
at the city of Mexico.
So says Pyles, of the St. Paul Globe.
Let us all emigrate back to Europe,
because this country was discovered
by "Dago''-one Christopher
Columbus (',ot Andrews)-an Italian
sailing in three Spanish ships. The
discoverer of America ought to have
been called PyleS, or Wheelock, or
some other Anglo-Saxon name! This
is the ,corld's country, and does not be-
long exclusively to people Of English
descent; and man named Paddy
Muidoon, or Sandy McLauren, or Ole
OlesOn or Herman Schneider or Louis
LeBeau has just as much right here As
anyone else God did not intend this
continent to be simply an expansion
Of one little island on the west coast
of Europe. We are indebted to Eng
land for our language. and noble in
strument of speech it is, but the Eng
lish blood is vastly outweighed to-day
in this country by the stocks of other
European nations.
The truth is this whole Anglo-Saxon
business is humbug. The people of
the United States represent in their
blood. primarily, a Scandinavian
Celtic compound. 1t is mingling of
two great stocks, one coming from
the peninsulas of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark, and the other. with
| BASQUE and Ph9nician affinities, ad-
vancing Northward from the Mediter-
ranean. 1t has been shown that the
first settlements of English people on
our Atlantic coast, as in New Eng
land, Pennsylvania, Maryland, ETC.,
were dark-haired men, from regions
in England where the Briton, not the
Saxon blood, preponderated. The
English tongue Of Yorkshire and
Lowland Scotland is almost pure
Scandinavian. Scotland is Celtic il

Celtic, on the plains; and this great
compound gave US Robert Burns

4 BIG CROWD.

From all we hear there will be
large attendance from Minnesota at

convention, July %. 1896. We must
organize a special train from St. Paul

cupied by the delegates, ETC., at night,
and thus save hotel bills. Let no man
travel by tt Milwaukee and st. Paul

boycotted by every Populist. We pro.

dollars stolen from the people by I'm

We might, by preconcerted arrange

"MAINTAINING THE PARITY"

Does it not appear an extreme alb
surdty, if not worse, that the govern
ment should De compelled to furnish
the gold for private use? Why should
the federal treasury be left in con-
dition which compeiS it to supply the
world with gold? And to yet fur ther
demonstrate this folly, much OF the
gold that the government is now ask
ing form the sale of b. mis- TO protect

drainage, has been drawn from the
treasury on the present atlon OF green
backs. So that the treas ury Is rOnbed
continually while begging protection
from the robber, and the people are
paying for it. but their Congress re-
fuses to choke off the robber.-New
Ulm News.
Now note this carefully. "Why
should the government furnish the
gold for private use?' In reply We ask,
why should the government furnish
the postage stamps for private use?
Does this chap intend that even the
coinage Of gold shall be turned over
to the banks Why our whole govern
ment is simply machine for "private
use," to "promote the welfare" OF the
people, as the constitution says.
And who put the government in
pos tion to enable the bankers to
run to it for gold in exchange for
greenbacks? FIRST the Republican
party and then the Democratic party.
When the law provided that gold and
silver were equal and that the govern
ment had the right to redeem its pa
per in gold or silver, it refused to re-
deem it in anything but gold;-thus
discrediting silver giving it "a black
eye," and increasing the demand for gold
Why did they do this? For the
same reason they demonetized silver.

| crease the value Of the products OF

ANOTHER CONVERT.

Mr.. Kenyon, Bank Examiner. Re-
publican, is another Free-Silverite.
We read in a recent article:
Then Mr. Kenyon discusses the law
which led to the declaration by the SD.
preme Court of the United States, secur.
ing the legal tender" qualities of the
greenbacks. He points out the dangers
liable to arise before the courts concern
ing the legal tender character Of silver
owing to the exception which may be IN
serted in contracts in favor of gold. Tt
illustrate his point for a larger use o.
silver. Mr.. Kenyon takes up the expert
ences of the French Republic in the fol
lowing language:
1.-The stock metallic money In Franc
consists of $685.. O0O,O 900 of gold. $685., 100000
of full legal tender silver and $50.000.0M
of limited tender silver. The population
of France being 3S,300000 having pei
capita circulation Of s42S4, of which sill
yer forms $1S.3a.
France not only maintains the equal
ity of the two metallic moneys at home
but the silver five-franc piece, with {
coinage value in the United States of 93l
cents,-is quite steadily quoted at 81
cents Now if France should discredn
her silver issue. as this country does. ]
ventured the prediction that it would be
difficult to maintain it's value in New
York with any degree Of uniformity
Toward the close of 1894 the Bank OF
France is said to have held s414 100000 OF
gold, and $247. 100000 in silver. showing
that four-elevenths or more than one
third Of it's coin was silver; or relatively
three times as much silver was held by
that bank as is held by all the national
banks in this country.
Really this is a remarkable state OF
affairs. State Auditor Bob Dunn. Re-
publican. is a Freshly erite; ditto
Frank Day, Lieut.. Governor, Republi-
can: ditto Bank Examiner KENYON,
| Republican; ditto great many more
who are keeping their mouths shut,
but doing a great deal Of thinking,
and vet are very much afraid of the
daily papers.
What are these gentlemen going to
do If the Republican National Con-
vention. in June next, adopts gold
bug standard, or makes disgraceful
straddle? Will they eat humble pie, or
will they fight? We can't say much
for the rest OF them but Bob Dunn
comes of a race that would just as
soon fight as eat. and it will take four
men to hold Bob if the money-lenders
capture the Republican National Con-
ventiOn.
Well, boys, you know where to go.
The latch-string is always on the out
side; and there is warm seat next
the fire; and he who would be promi-
nent hereafter let him be conspicuous
by his courage now. We have no use

Minnesota. He sees victory ahead 7.

him as the Peoples Party dele
gate at large from the Seventh Con-

GLORIOUS.

THE ACTION OF THE FREE-SILvER-
ITEs-vICTORY IS NOW ASSURED.
The Free-silver convention, which
met in Washington, D. c., January %,
1896, not only agreed upon the same
day and place as the Peoples Party, for
their National Convention, but they
burned the bridges behind them, and
which connected them with the two
old parties, by demanding not only
free silver, but the abolition Of the national
banks
Iftheir intention had been merely to
coerce the Republican and Democrat
ic parties into putting She free coin
age of silver, into their platforms.
they would have confined their de-
mands to a free-silver plank alone;
and. getting that. they could have
crawled back into their old parties.
But they strike Plutocracy squarely
between the eyes. They declare war
against the great evil which Andrew
Jackson fought, and which has been
threatening the perpetuity Of free in
situations in this country almost
since the foundation Of the govern.
ment, to-wit, the national banking
system. From this position there is
no .retreat-for it there is no compro.
mise. For life or death, for failure
or success, for veal or woe, the great
battle is begun. Behind us we hear
tine voices of Jefferson and jackson
and Benton urging us on: and behinC
