Tom Lucas has left us. Alas! He
thinks separate Socialistic party is
the thing. He has the comfort of
knowing that the old-parties, the
PIutocracy, the corporations, the
daily press and the Rings all have a
kindly corner in their hearts for such
a movement. Not that there are not
honest and able Socialists, and many
of them in this country; and not that
the horsepower would not be glad to
see them all hanged by the neck
until they were dead; but because
they think If they can keep the labor
force of the cities from voting the
Populist ticket, by herding them into
hopeless fight for socialism, the
reign OF iniquity will continue, and
the laboring men sink into greater
depths of wretchedness and helpless
ness. But the labor force has been so
often sold out by their leaders that
they have got their eye-teeth cut.
They have grown tired of furnishing
the corpse for their own men to
cannibalize, and so live in idleness for
ever after, while labor is left to the
enjoyment OF its own bare bones.
That thing is played out.

To delegate the creation of money
to private parties is a crime against

To leave the amount of the charges

right to tax the whole people into

p. H. KELLY ASSIGNS.

This week opens with the startling
announcement that Hon. P. II. Kelly,
the merchant prince and prominent
Democratic politician, has been forced
to the wall. He has already made an
assignment of his personal effects, and
the Up. H. Kelly Mercantile Com.
pany," one of the greatest establis H.
ments in the state. has followed suit.
We are sorry for Mr.. Kelly. The
great lifelong labors and tremendous
energy Of the man have come to
nought, and in his old age he finds
himself bankrupt in purse and broken
in health. He is another and conspic.
uous victim Of the decentralization of
silver and the contraction of the cur
rency. A lot Of scoundrels on both
sides of the Atlantic are richer and
Mr.. Kelly is poorer. II the nation had
even continued to purchase 4,5O0. 900
ounces OF silver every month, and is
sued "a, 900, 900 of silver notes to repre-
sent the bullion. Mr. Kelly and
tens OF thousands OF others would not
have been ruined; but the blow came
from his own party, from the very
president he had labored and spent
his money to put into the White
House.
How much more of this kind of hor-
ribie destruction Of the hopes and
homes OF men will be necessary before
the people will learn that the hireling
newspapers are the worst enemies
they have in the world.

THE GRAND ARMY ELEMENT

THE GRAND ARMY ELEMENT.
The accession of Geo. N. Lampher re
to the ranks of the Peoples party is a
source OF qualification to every re-
former who knows the depth, the
dignity and honesty, Of that able GEN
tleman. His paper, the Moorhead
News. is one OF the best i n the state.
Reform Advocate.
We were glad to see Mr.. Lamphere
at the recent meeting Of the People S
Party State Central Committee, in
Minneapolis, on the 18th inst. He ap-
peared as proxy for our old friend,
that gallant Populist, Louis Hanson.
Mr.. Lamphere, with his empty sleeve,
and his Grand Army badge, reminded
us OF the bloody conflict now fast re-
ceding into the past; while his pres
ence In the committee showed that
he was ready to unite with the south
ern people in achieving victory for
the new, non-sectional party, on the
basis of Union and Frate rnity,
ual good will and loving concord.
Several other members of the COM
mittee wore their Grand Army
badges. The old-soldier element, we
are proud to say, is forging to the
front as the leaders of the Peoples
Party in Minnesota. These gallant
old warriors see clearly that Plutoc.
racy is more deadly enemy to our in
situations than the Slaveocracy ever
was. The latter stood upon what
they believed to be their constitu-
tional rights, and came out "into the
open" and fought for their principles
like heroes. The former are poison
ing the wells of public intelligence,
and striving to destroy the Republic,
and degrade mankind over the whole
face of the earth. They are pack of
cruel and heartless Jews and money
changers. without one ennobling or
heroic trait. They would sell the
universe for five per cent profit on
suit of old clothes.

THE OMAHA PLATFORM.

Mississippi Populists selected dele

week. They will come up to St. Louis

platform.
A prominent Texas editor writes to
a member Of the Ohio state commit
tee that the Populist delegation from
the Lone Star state is coming to St.
Louis as unit in favor of the Omaha
platform.
That's all right. We do not think
there will be any fight against the
Omaha platform. so far as it's sub
stantial features are concerned. We
should add proper and reasonable
plank in reference to the Initiative
and Referendum. Anything that will
bring the legislative function closer
to the people will tend to curtail the

Now we do not say. nor believe. that
all the Scandinavian clergymen do
this. Some of them are honest and
heroic men. But there are black
sheep in every flock, and the honor Of
the whole class demands that these

1t is horrible to think of Christianit7

reduce them to poverty and slavery.
No wonder such things are breeding
infidelity. Who is there can continue

Christ points the way to heaven, but
some Of his preachers are turning the
multitude aside and leading them
down stairs into the pit. There is no

no matter by what name they may be
called. And it is the greatest Of
pitties IL this honest, God-fearing
population, is to be enslaved politi.

We hope the Scandinavians them
selves-for they are the ones chiefly
interested in this matter-will take
hold and investigate the relations OF
their preachers to the horsepower.

not save them from well-deserved op-

TO DELlNQU.ENTS

very serious matter; and we will

We have slashed off hundreds this
week. and will apply the pruning
knife still more extensively next
week.

amount to 1000 and over.

SORRY,

We are sorry that Doctor Clarke, of
Minneapolis, has temporarily with
drawn from the Peoples Party. He
does so on the ground that he thinks
the st. Louis convention Of July %,
will abandon the Omaha platform. He
should rot anticipate evil. He should
not "cross the bridge before he comes
to it," If he read the Populist pa
pers of this country he would know
that there is not the slightest proba-
bility of anything of the kind.-they
are red-hot to stand by all it's great,
material features. We hope the Doc
tor will see the error of his ways and
be found once more doing battle for
the Peoples Party.

MONEY GOOD IN "YURRUP."

To tho Editor Of tho Globe:
Please state in the columns Of the
Weekly Globe what the purchasing
value of American silver coin is in
England at this time, and what was
it's purchasing value before it was
demonetized in 1873, and oblige.
o. A.
Lanesboro. MIMI, March s, 1895.
Its purchasing power here is its
bullion value, about 50 cents an ounce.
Before characterization in 1873, its
value was $1.29 an ounce. The value
Of one dollar is now 50 cents, and was
then $1.03.
Thus speaks that hybrid-Pluto-
cratic-Democratic- Republican sheet,
the st. Paul Globe. And yet every
American. who has ever crossed the
Atlantic. and every foreigner who has
migrated to our shores, knows that
you will no more find American mon
ey, gold or silver, in circulation in
Europe than you will find European
money in this country. Who is the re-
that has ever seen five pound Bank
of England note circulating from
hand to hand in Minnesota?
But,-says somebody,-if you have
an American gold piece in London
you can take it to the bank and sell it
or exchange it for English money.
True; but you can do the same thing
with bank draft; or, for that matter,
with an order for thousand bushsls
of wheat in Liverpool ware house.
All this talk about our money cir
culating in Europe is the sheerest
nonsense. Every one who has taken
a trip abroad knows that before he
started he carried his money to one of
our banks and bought exchange on
London or Berlin or Paris. And if
when he got on board the steame r he
had any change left iD his pocket
ten, twenty, fifty or one hundred dol
lars-he went to the "purser' of the
ship, and he gave him English,
Frebeh or German money, according
to his destination, in exchange for it;
and when he returned to the United
States the process was reversed, and he
snapped his foreign money for Ameri-
can money.
Every wellinformed man knows all
this perfectly we'll, but the scamps re-
sort to such arguments as the above
to humbug the fools.
Money that is good in Yurrup.'
Why don't they demand postage
stamps that are good in Yurrup?
The stamp on the dollar, or
the postage stamp. represents the
sovereignty of the nation, and is SUI
preme within the boundaries Of the
nation: but outside it is valueless.
But fools will be fools to the end Of
the chapter. And if the day of judg.
ment came, and swept the planet into
chaos, there would still be a lot
OF fools, in some crevice or Granny of
the wrecked earth to quarrel over the
tariff and talk about money good in
Yurrup." You cannot end the fools
without ending the whole human
