made in the convention by those who
favored Mr.. Bryan's nomination con-
tanned any mint or allusion that further
fusion than that agreed upon by the
national convention was contemplated.
II is pososible that Messrs. Washburne.
Reed and Rankin have taken more ad-
vanced grounds on the situation than
Chairman Butler occupies, but 1t Is
certain that a majority OF the exscu-
tive committee will sustain this action
and 1t will meet with the hearty in
dorsement OF the south and large ma
1ority OF the populists in the west and
northwest. It is unfortunate. as the
committee says. that the Democrats
could not see their way clear TO ac-
complish the withdrawal Of Sewall and
substitute Watson. As II Is the COM
mittee has perhaps pointed the only
way out OF the difficulty and their ac-
tion will doubtless be supported and
adopted by all loyal Populists.

c, and G to ID. and d to the man who
found 1t before II is detected to be a
counterfeit; yet il has gone the rounds,
paid all these debts and no one Is the
loser thereby.
Then the question might arise why
not have counterfeit money? The rea-
SON Is simple. To preserve stability OF
prices II Is necessary to have a uniform
volume OF currency. On this point
all writers on political economy agree.
And here comes an important Issue
raised by the Peoples party. The gov
eminent (the people, alone can be
trusted to preserve this uniformity OF
volume. Congress alone Is invested
with that power. II was denied 10 the

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Fisshs. of Thought Inspired by Passing
Events.


The preamble to the Peoples party
platform declares that THE influence
Of European money changers has been
more potent in shaping legislation
than the voice OF the American peo-
ple." While this charge Is very bold,
its truth cannot be denied. Thousands
Of millions Of dollars in railroad stocks
and bonds, and other corporations In
this country are held by British capital
lists, and in Congress and state legis-
latures paid lobbyists are kept to in
fiuence 81 friendly. and defeat adverse
legislation.
No intelligent person will deny that
millions of dollars are spent annually
to corrupt our law makers. our execu-
tives and the courts of this country
Political parties are usually divided
upon matters of public policy. As a
result small minority holds the bal
ancs Of power This is the leverage
upon which the lobby works. The
two parties divided upon a question a
the other is able to enact such legisla-
ton as the lobbyists demand. Then
comes the power OF the corporations,
trusts and other combines that assist
each other in securing special legisIa-
ton. Both the tariff and silver cues
lions are recent examples OF how the
will o. the people Is thwarted.
There are two remedies for this evil
One is an aggregation OF independent
voters-the larger the better--to coun-
teract the influence OF the regular par
ty minority vote; and the other is d.
rect legislation. II this independent
vote, representing protest from the
people against evil and corrupt legisla-
ton Is large enough to check the influ-
ence OF the lobby 1t is usually effective.
But the better plan would be by direct
legislation-a system which the Peo-
pies party demands. BY this means
men vote upon issues without regard
to party. No party success Is involved
in their vote and hence they are more
disposed to study political questions
from an independent standpoint and
vote their honest convictions.
One Of the recent cartoons OF the
plutocratic press represents Uncle Sam
with a silver dollar in one hand and
a magic wand In the other, saying to
the people: See, children, touch
this money worth SO cents) with this
wand-and, presto, Its value becomes
100 cents" The cartoon is wholly un-
fair, 4napplicable to the subject and
calculated to deceive. Every student
of the money question will make a dis
tinction between the commercial val.
ne of dollar and It's legal value. The
magic wand represents the law and
invests the piece Of silver with the
legal value Of 100 cents. and authorizes
It as medium of exchange and legal
tender In the payment OF debts. Tia
