A SUPPOSED DIALOGUE.

SHERMAN: The two living and
fundamental principles--free trade
and protection-have kept our two
parties alternately in power for the
last twenty years. You gentlemen of
the South have enjoyed the honors
and emoluments of office on account
of your devotion to free trade We of
the North have been especially ag-
grandiZed and enriched by our devo-
tiOn to protection. AS long as we can
make this the paramount issue our
parties are safe. But these are peril
Gus times. The passage of the tariff
bill at the last session th eeatened the
destruction of both our parties by the
loss of our main issue. The skill of
Mr.. Reed and his friends at the other
end Of the Capitol have furnished a
way out. They have sent us two bills
"a bond bill and a tariff bill. The
bond bill is not of the slightest conse-
quence. Nobody wants it, the Roths-
childs are opposed to it and why
should we be for it? But it will serve
good purpose. We are on the
Finance Committee. Let the bond
bill be reported and you put your free
coinage amendment on that. When
it comes into the Senate and free
coinage men can vote for it and make
free coinage speeches on it for home
consumption. because it will do no
harm and aid them at home When
it is passed through the Senate that
is the end Of it. In that way our
friends both in the West and the
South who must be for free coinage to
come here, will have given evidence OF
the faith that is in them and will
have made themselves solid with
their constituents. But the tariff is
the important question to keep before
the people, because one-half of them
are educated to free trade and the
other half to high prOte ctiOn, and it
is very easy TO make them fight on
that issue, and when they get to fight
ing on that issue they will forget all
others as they have for the last twen-
ty years. Silver men Of the West can
very we'll vote against putting silver
on the tariff bill because that bill
gives them protection on wool, lead,
lumber and coal which the people of

suit, as you know, was that we decided
to engage in independent wheat buying
and shipping and Immediately engaged
Mr.. Glavin as our agent. Up to this
time there had been scarcely any wheat
graded No. l hard here, but after the
blockade was raised a considerable por-
ton of it received the top grade, and
some was sold at half a cent above the
highest market price and no grade men,
toned. OF course the excitment brought
the representatives of commission firms
at Duluth and Minneapolis to Warren
and they We're anxious to secure the
wheat the competition stimulated the
market We were told that we would be
swamped with cars. Instead of being
swamped we loaded every car that day
and ] believe saved the farmers over a
thousand dollars on that day alone"
When Mr.. Burdick left Warren on Nov.
II he said he would go to East Grand
Forks and investigate the situation there.
He was going to come back and convince
us that We were wrong and that no
higher prices were paid there than had
been paid at Warren. So far as we know
he never came back, and we are still
waiting to be convinced.

The foregoing figures tell the story of
a shameful and criminal disposition of
the public domain. This alien owner
ship Of land in the United States ex-
cteds by 5000 square miles the entire
area of Ireland and the work of grab
bing our public lands by aliens still pro-
ceeds. Nor is this all. There are sew
enteen companies and individuals who
have grabbed more than 100000 acres
of the public lands, or an average of
about $4,000 acres each and this land
piracy does not include the immense
estates in Texas nor the land grants in
California and New Mexico.
Those who study the land question and
comprehend the iniquity of land grab
bling may contemplate the foregoing fig
ures, which will clinch the conclusion
that the land policy Of the United States
is in the line Of serfdom.
1t may be too late to remedy all the
evils that have been perpetrated under
vicious laws, but it is not too late to ap-
ply remedies for some Of them, and if
Americans can be educated to cast their
ballots for men pledged to apply such
remedies as are possible, much may be
done in the line of emancipation from
evils which, if not corrected, will in the
near future reduce millions of men to
the condition of Russian serfs-slaves

craftsmanship of both our parties.
And their combined is the highest
wisdom which the Republic or any
other country on earth can produce.

sary to say anything. am bime-

the West attach much Importance to,
and with their votes we can keep the
tariff clean from any amendment and
then there will be fair issue on the
tariff between you of the South and
we of the North, as it has been from
the beginning, and it is easy to fire
the American heart on that issue.
Without that issue the Populists

has done them no good and we have
got to be yociferous for silver. We

denounce any man that votes against
it,and we are forced to be particularly
severe on all Of you gold standard
men, which you always pardon on ac-
count of our common motive to keep
our parties in line.
ALDRICH: | fully concur with all
that is said by my brother from Ohio
and my dear friend from Tennessee.
We must keep the tariff issue alive or
both of our parties will die. There is
no other issue upon which we can
divide the people and prevent them
from joining the Populists and over
throwing our friends in Wall and
Lombard streets. Everything is at
stake in raising the war cry Of free
dom over the tariff. On that the
North and South have always come
together with a crash that attracted
the attention of the whole country.

lists are IN earnest fer silver and our
people are in earnest and the only
way we can get their votes and keep
the Democratic party alive is to make
them think we are really for silver,

ed by Mr.. Sherman. The plan suits
me exactly. Carry out that program.

Therefore, we instruct the executive
committee OF this committee to urge upon
all men and organizations desiring finan-
cial reform, but who are not yet ready to
become members of our organization, to
hold a separate convention in the same
city, and at the same time, that we shall
fix upon, so that an honorable effort may
be made, by conference and consultation,
without sacrifice Of principle, to unite all
friends of financial reform in support of
the same candidates for president and
vice president.
Resolved, That in so great a work of
unifying the whole people against their
Oppressors. no small or petty cOnsidera-
tions should stand in the way, and we,
therefore. hereby express our feeling that
if either the time fixed by us for holding
said convention, or the place in which it
is to be helG, shall constitute an impedi-
ment to perfect cooperation Of all hon.
est citizens at the ballot box, that our ex-
ecutive committee shall have power to
change said date and place; provided,
that the said date not be prior to July Z,
1896, and not later than July 90. 1896, and
that the Place of meeting shall not be
such as to be not inconvenient to the body
of our constituents; and any change, if
made shall be announced within 10 days
from this date.
