Give us real self government, through
he initiative and referendum.
These Words Breathe Fire.

From Appeal to Reason: We have,
as nation, entered the valley of the
shadow of death. To be conscious of
the danger in time means restoration
of prosperity and the integrity of the
republic. To ignore these evidences of
approaching dissolution insures a fatal
ending. The apathy of the people is ap-
parently great, but the exactions of the
money power and the goading of the
people by the trusts are awakening the
latter from their sleep of Indifference
A united and persistent effort to pre-
pare the people, by education, is now
a timely and imperative necessity.
With 1t we will win; without 1t we will
lose. Values have been destroyed; the
taxgatherer and the usurer now threat
en- the homes Of the people. Our Sc
curities in the hands of foreigners are
demanding tribute that taxes to its
utmost the resources of the nation. Our
products are being piled upon the
scales in the markets of the world in
exorbitant quantities to purchase high
priced gold or it's equivalent with which
to pay interest on our debts. What
credit we have left is being hypothe-
Gated to the international usurers; thus
riveting upon our limbs the chains of
bondage. 1t was England that struck
the blow! 1t is the money-changers Of
America who made it possible and who
are now using all the agencies Of
wealth, Intentionally, or unintention-
ally, to deceive the people, and to divert
their minds from the cause of their
distress. National pride is at stake!
Individual character is in the balance!
The republic is threatened! The hum
blest individual in the nation who ap-
preciates the danger can reach one or
more of his neighbors with reading
matter that will appeal to his patriot
ism and reach his reason. Indifference
is criminal! And surrender to Eu-
rope is treason!

Ex-Gov. Altgeld is being censured in
the public press in connection with the
failure of the Globe Savings Bank, and
as usual when he Is assailed by his
enemies there is no basis of truth for
what has been said The president of
the bank, c. w. Spaulding, was not ap-
pointed treasurer Of the State Univer-
sity by Gov. Altgeld. The Board of
Trustees appointed Mr.. Spalding treas
urer, and the Board of Trustees were
elected by the people and were not ap-
pointed by Gov. Altgeld. Nor is Gov.
Altgeld a stakeholder in the bank. 1t
is doubtful whether the press generally
will correct the statement that was
published, but our own people should
take it as lesson not to permit them
selves to be misled into being preju-
diced against their friends. There is
no truer friend of humanity in the
world outside of William j. Bryan.

We are certainly progressing in the
refinement Of our methods of doing
things. Think of the coarse vulgarlty
of the coup d'etat Of Napoleon ILL.,, us
narrated by Victor Hugo in 1.-THE
History of a Crime" as compared
with the smooth and effecLual method
In which Sherman fastened on a great
nation the chains of a more CALLING
slavery than Napoleon the Little"
attempted or desired; the ease with
which Cleveland added to the weight
Of those chains by the skillful waving
of the patronage wand, and the charm
ing grace with which Speaker Reed
robs the people of the rights of dis
cusslon through their representatives
by convenient, well regulated short
ness of vision and gentle but effec-
tual use of the gavel.-St louis Even

from downright act of treachery and
the fraudulent use of patronage to elect
Mckinley, shows that nothing can sur
pass his treachery and deceit except
his egotism and impudence.
There Is one gift which nature has
bestowed upon the unmitigated calam-
ity who cursed the country with his
presence in the white house for eight
years, and that is the power of uttering
unctuous, unmeaning, false and bonn
bastic platitudes. The following Is a
fair example:
Nothing can explain or excuse IN
action on the part of those who can
make no compromise with the advo-
Gates Of unsound money or who love
their country's honor more than SELF
advantage, or who are convinced that
an unstable and unsafe currency lneV-
itably bodies the greatest depth OF loss
and misfortune to all the people OF the
land. These should not delude them
selves. The peril they dread is direct
ly impending"
If Mr.. Cleveland had studied the
truth he would have said that tne
peril they dread" has been infllcteo
upon the country for the last twenty
years by conspiracy Of bad men VINO
stopped the coinage of silver, an"
thereby cut off half the money supply
doubled the value of bonded indebted
ness, reduced the value of property ana
services one-half, and created uni
versal misery in the country. II there
is any example of bad money since GOD
made the world, 1t is the gold money
of the present day. No calamity can
be named which the want OF money
can inflict which the country does not
now suffer by Cleveland's SOUND
money" His attempt to make the
country believe that anybody wants a
more villainous kind Of money than we
now have, is about as cheeky as II Is
for him to plead the baby act for vot-
ing the Republican ticket. He knows
the sound money he advocates Is the
most vlllainous swindle Of all the ages,
and he knew that the Republican party
was a party of contraction when ne
voted the ticket, as we'll as he now
does. We beg pardon for having given
this much space to the corpulent relic
who is now politically dead; but mas
much as the papers print his trash, we
feel justified in calling attention to t9e
individual, who is either fool OF
thinks the American people are foois'
or he would keep out of sight until MS
fragrant offenses were forgotten.

Dead Words VS.. Living Men.

The InterMountain Advocate, after
showing that laws have to run the
gauntlet of the legislative bodies, an
executive officer and the courts before
becoming valid (the Representative"
bodies not being such), remarks:
Now the question is, who is to
blame for all this? Is it the people?
Is it not fact that all these conditions
exist strictly in accordance with the
constitution of the United States? Then
there must be something wrong with
the constitution. If there is, then it
ought to be changed; and If this be not
a popular government, the people have
a right to change it,"
They have not power. The people
are ground between constitutionalism
and Capitalization. When this fact is
realized, they may change it.

We are constantly calling attention
to the fact that an appeal to selfishness
is, in the end, If continued the de-
struction of civilization. Also that it
narrows the mind and prevents broad
comprehension of a righteous selfish
ness-one's interest served best by
promoting the common good. We now
want to illustrate our meaning by quot
ing an Associated Press telegram from
Pittsburg of April 5, 1897. 1t reads as
follows:
Several thousand iron and steel
workers refused to go to work here to"
day because Of reduction in wages
ordered Saturday night. Pickets are
on guard at the mills affected, and a
GUS trouble is feared. Oliver Brothers
posted notices on Saturday that here
after the wages of the puddlers would
be cut from $3.50 to 81 per ton. A. M
Beyers & Co. posted similar notices at
their pudding furnaces, and Mcintosh
& Hemphill posted notices that wages
would be reduced 10 per cent and
working hours increased from nine to
ten. There is much discomfort among
the men, as they supported the Repub-
lican ticket last fall on the promise
that their wages would be increased in
the event of it's election. The struggle
promises to be long and bitter"
That this same thing was done all
over the country and materially affect
ed the election of 1896 is well known.
The promises of immediate assistance
an increase of wages-as a bride for
votes, closed the minds of these voters
to a broad comprehension of the ques-
lions involved in that election. And yet
we hear men who pose as statesmen
say that questions of state are selfish
propositions; the,interest of one class
as arrayed against another class
When each individual voter takes an
unselfish view Of problems of civiliza-
ton, he will study for himself, and
form an opinion, more or less intelli--
gent as to what effect a certain ma
tional policy will have on the general
prosperity of the country. And he will
at the same time comprehend that he
will most likely be individually best
benefited by the adoption of that poll
icy that brings general prosperity. 1t
is the narrow view that looks directly
to personal benefit and ignores study
of the common good that we call self
ishness. 1t is what is bringing bank
ruptcy to bankers on the one extreme
and wage earners on the other And
one of the most dlscouraging features
of it all is that men so situated as to be
pronounced leaders of thought sean to
be insensible to the principle here
enunciated.
Education is needed in high PLACES
as well as low places.-Patriot's Bulle-

Men iu q Hole.

Charles Besserer of Walla Walla, who
rs travelling in the east, writes to the
Walla Wsua Union: Il noticed in my
travels great many people with sore
eyes, caused by looking too intently
for the coming of prosperity. The best
ointment for such optics is patience. :"
Charlie, like other physicians, never
takes what he recommends for others
He has the least patience of any man
in Walla Walla when he finds himself
sin a hole" Those people who have
sore e>'s" from looking too inteutly
for the coming of prosperity" are in a
mole and patience" is out of the ques-
ion.-East Oregonian.

A BONDHOLDERS' WAR.
The Bloodshed Is for the Benent o.
Bloodsuckers.

The Bloodshed Is for tho Benefit Of
Bloodsuckers.
Ignatius Donnelly, in the Representa-
tive, says:
Even the St. Paul Globe (goldbug)
tells the truth now and then-by acci-
dent. In its issue last Monday it said,
speaking of the Turkish and Grecian
conflict:
1--WE say hope because the sympa-
thy of the people is with Greece. 1t is
universally so in this country. 1t is so
in Great Britain. And even in Ger
many and Russia we believe that the
alliance with Turkey and the support
of her contention are matters rather of
imperial policy than Of popular APPROX
al. If the people Of the civilized world
could have their way there would be no
war, for the Tukish government would
perish from the earth before the setting
Of another sun. They are restrained
by the DEGREES of statecraft from the
natural expression of their sympathy
with Greece. For this is as it has
been called, bondholders' war. 1t Is
the holders of Turkish bonds who die
tate the policy of the great nations. But
for that the Turkish problem would
have been solved long ago. 1t was for
the money lender of Europe that hun
dreds of thousands of Christians were
sent to horrible death in Armenia. It
is for him that this battle is to be
fought, with his greed arrayed secretly
on the side of the Turks in Europe"
We hail these truthful expressions
with pleasure. The whole people, and
all the newspapers should unite as one
man against the merciless money lend
ers, who unite the cruelty Of wolves to
the cunning of the devil. They are the
enemies of the human race.

So now it Is acknowledged that the
last legislature passed no really harm
full" laws. That, of itself, is a good
record for any legislature of any state.
But when we consider the railroad law,
the state and county depository laws,
the election law, the law against trusts
and combines, the usury law, the act
protecting both mortgagors and mort
gagees, and the acts for local interests,
we md that the legislature not only did

We do not want more cheap men in

Representative Ridgely (Populist) Of
Kansas, has introduced in the house
bill ito enable the unemployed to earn
living, to utilize industry, and pro-

any state, territory, county, city, town,
township, or school district to raise
money for giving employment on public
works by issuing non-interest bearing
bonds of twenty-five years, payable on
ly to the United States, not to exceed
half the assessed value of the property
of the state or municipality. In re-
turn for the bonds, the United States
treasury is to issue treasury notes.

Stalwart Populist' State Land Com
missioner Ridges Of Washington be-
lieves state lands should be leased, but
never sold, and that when persons at
tempt to buy them they don't live up to

principle, he expects to get $4,000 rent
to- the state in Spokane alone, where
nothing has been received previously.
He has detected land frauds by millions
OF dollars perpetrated against the state.
Thomas G. Shearran, the New York
statistician, predicts an overwhelming
silver victory in 1900. He says: There
Is small credit to be gained now for
foresight in predicting terrific defeat
for the Republican party in 1898 and
1900. Most of my personal friends are
Republican in politics; and have yet
to meet one of them who does not an
ticipate this defeat. l regret to say that
all present appearances indicate that in
1900 the country will be swept over the
silver precipice.
Give us real self government through
the initiative and referendum.
Grant Allen says: Don't believe that
old nonsense about fortunes being
made by industry and ability. In life,
as at cards, two things go to produce
success-the first is chance; the second
is cheating" and the great trusts, syn
dicates and combines are rapidly elm
mating the element of chance from the
combination.
Yes, the consolidation of all Of the
railroads of the country is a certainty,
