1t seems to me that our CONNER
clal morality is sadly degraded, and
that we cannot ask men to be honest
toward capital when capital ceases to
recognize the laws of honesty and JUS
tlce. 1t seems to me that revival Of
the public conscience against such
methods is today Of far greater i'm
portance than any single issue of pub
!lc policy, and when l count the
forces with which this work is to be
done, find them in the Democratic
party. and to this party we must ap-
peal for remedy, If there is any. I
90 not blame any section or any class
FOR rising in protest against these de-
velopments in our republic, creating a
new system Of extortion and oppres-
sion under the forms of law.
1t is time that the East, which is

standard or natural causes which has
brought money to a rate on which

whether it is not the robber system
which has wrecked investments so
often that no one dares trust his
money in a railroad or even in an in
duStrial enterprise.

are marching straight to great VIC
tory in Georgia this year. The re.
suit in Georgia is having a remark
ably good effect. The declaration OF

Accessions to the Populist ranks

1t is notable fact that little dis

Populist National Convention. The

all candor, with all earnestness, and
with patriotic devotion which l do
not believe any Senator will doubt,
that there was no other demand up
on the treasury at the time when the
bond issues were made except, and
except alone, from the speculators in
Wall street, New York, and their con-
frers in the city of London, on the
other side of the Atlantic. / have
asserted aagain and again that the
United States Government has been
forced into partnership with these
men, that we are in fact the silent
partner. We are expected only to tax
the people and raise the money that
these men want.
"The only need that the govern
ment has for money is to pay it's
debts. We promised to pay our debts
in coin, and l have shown by the fig

MINNESOTA The BATTLE GROUND

nesOta they Garry the Nation.

St. Louis, June 19.-Rcpresentative
Hartman, of Montana was asked by a
reporter what effect he thought the
action of the bimetallc delegation in
repudiating the gold standard plank
of the Republican platform would
have upon the coming campaign. He
replied as follows:
"A Democratic bimetallst with all
the force centered upon him would
certainly carry Missouri, would carry
Indiana. would stand fair show Of
carrying Illinois, would stand no show
of carrying Minnesota and but little
show to carry Michigan. Mr.. Teller
on the contrary, uniting all the BIZ
metallic strength, would carry Michi-
gan, Indiana, Illinois. Missouri, and
for carrying Minnesota. Figuring on
what is only certain, so far as any
thing in politics can be certain, Mr..
Teller would have II electoral votes
from Michigan which the Democratic
nominee would not get and which
added to the as surplus OF the states
west Of the Missouri river would give
him certain clear advantage OF SO
electoral votes over any Democratic
bimetallist that could be named on
the ticket.
with Minnesota Mr.. Teller would
nave 6S electoral votes more than the
Democratic bimetallist could hope to
receive, or an aggregate vote for Mr..
Teller Of 265, as against 1871, the very
most a Democrat could hope for.
Therefore, the question which pre-
sents itself to Democratic bimetal-

they exchange what is practically
certainty Of success for what, they
say at the best of it, is a strong prob
ability Of defeat?'"

/ am frequently asked what are we
going to do with individual persons
and corporations who have promised
to pay their Indebtedness in gold, and
whose debts are due on the other side
of.the Atlantic. answer is that it
is none of our business about the con-
tracts of private individuals or corpo-
rations. II they have made contracts
to pay their debts in gold, it is their
business to get the gold. It is not
the business OF the United States to
supply them with gold any more than
it is the business Of the Government
to supply me with flour, or sugar, or
coffee, or pair of shoes when I hap
pen to need them. II these men have
promised to pay in gold let them pro.
cure their gold just as would pro-
cure wheat and corn-by going out in
to the open market, where those arti-
cles are for sale. The banks have gold
to sell. They have it to exchange:
That is one of the legitimate func-
tions Of banking, but the government
Of the United Stated ought not to be
called upon to furnish gold for these
spectators and traders.
'They charge me, and they charge
the rest of us In this chamber who
are Populists, with attempted repudi-
alton. No, Mr.. President; the legis-
lature that sent me to this body was
composed almost wholly Of men who
had been Republicans within two
years. There were 95 Populists in the
house Of Representatives. Every one
OF them voted for me. Out of the 95
Populists 83 had been active, earnest
Republicans, UP to and after the year
1888. They and all voted for Bsnja-.

publicans Al had spent from two and
One-half to three OF the best years Of
