A VOICE FROM MISSOURI.

He Makes Some Good Suggestions That Will
Provoke Thought.
Editor Representative.
Seeing an article of yours in the St.
Louis Evening Journal suggests me TO
address you.
Let me tell you that in my opinion,
since one of the two great occupations
of mankind, distribution, has been
wholly monopoliZed by a few persons
and abused in every conceivable way.
to aid other monopOlies, in important
lines of production, we need not look
else where for thej ca use of the past,
present and future Increasing poverty
of the masses For example, the net
profits of transportation by railroads
is some $500, OOv, OJe' per year. Add to
this the profits accuing yearly to the
trusts and combineJ )th,t hold their
existence only by and through the
railroaid abuses, such as the deadly re-
bate, etc, the SUM total can't be far
from eight to ten hundred millions.
Now consider that prior to this rail-
road era all this net, profit was paid
out by us to our neighbOrS, who redis-
tributed it back again. 1t is the case
Of Irish landlord absenteeism over
again; for this whole sum Of net prof

and stockholders never dollar is re-
distributed among the makers of the
wealth. So long as new roads we're
rapidly being built and new lands
along the roads were open to home
steaderS we did not feel the evil so
badly. But just at that very time,
when the whole South and all the
West had opened up to free labor and
land fell all over the country. 1873, we
began to hear Of the tramp army.
Now l am soon to leave these scenes,
and rejoice atit. l am disgu> ted with
it all, and am too old to take up my
bed and walk. But don't you sce-I
do. 'in my minds eye, Horatio that

Was the Democratic party in ear
nest when it adopted the following
plank in Chicago:
1--WE favor such legislation as will
prevent for tue future the demoneti-
cation OF any kind of legal tender
money by private contract.
We should judge not from the &C.
ton OF the Alabama legislature. Read
the following dispatch:
montgomery, Ala, Dec 1.-The
Alabama senate today killed the bill
bill seeking to prohibit the making Of
Of any contract in this state calling
for payment specifically in gold, or any
thing else excepting the legal tender
of the country. The nine Populists
in the senate alone voted for the bill,
10 Democrats, all OF them silver men.
voting against it,"
The Democratic party, in its nation
al convention, declares against gold
contracts" The Democratic party in
state legislature favors them. Here
was an opportunity for the party to
show whether it was party laboring
in the interests Of the people or in the
interest of the money power. It clear
ly showed that it is slave to plutoc-
racy.
The Populsts must pull away. They
must pursue an independent course.
The Democratic party can't give us
reform and don't intend to.
The Georgia legislature defeated a
similar measure. p. j, S.

handsome and picturesque.
There are several bits Of good

HELPING THE BANKS.
They Have Brought Ruin on the Country
Should They Not Suffer.

They Have Brought Ruin on the Country =
Should They Not Suffer.
Editor Representatives:
Much is being said through the pub
lie press in relation to leaving de-
posits in the banks aud thus prevent
d run thereon and save the Sound
Money institutions from bankruptcy
and ruin and depositors from loss.
The time to aid the banks is passed
until they consent to be aided. There
is but one way to aid the banks and
save depositors, that is to increase the
volume Of money by the only power to
make money in our or any other cOun-
try, by the government. The banks
have exactly such conditions and
financial policy they have aided to es-
tablish except they dug pit for their
country and have fallen into it them
selves and are calling for help but re-
fuse the aid offered unless They can
climb out OF the pit on the shoulders
Of the rescuers tine people) and leave
them in the hole for example what
does the past four years show? The
Stringency in the money market with
consequent fall in prices and bank
ruptcy followed for the purpose of re-
pealing the Sherman law, which put
more money in the market which the
banks got no sweat money from, and
which the banks caused to be stopped
and as consequence, increased our
national Understanding debt. In
the la tie election the banks voted and
many of them aided with money to
debauch the ballot box, and deSecrate
our national flag by putting the face
Of their willing tool in its beautiful
star-covered field. The banks are now
receiving the just results Of their
acts. l have neither love nor respect
or pity for them, for they have caused
to be repealed the financial policy
that Washington and Lincoln estab-
lishcd, and deluged their country in
ruin and distress, and betrayed their
country and its financial policy to for
eiyn alien enemies. do pity and pray
God to pity and protect the poor de-
positors and the farmers and owners
of homes that the banks hold mort
cages on, who will be ruined il the
banks fail andthey will be turned in-
to the street with their wives and in
nocent little children, many Of them
as a reward for their blind party
bigotry in voting for the tool Of banks
and corporations, at the dict atiOn and
threats of the scrub banks and sound
money business men. Is it not about
time for the elegant gentlemen, the
pompous eaters and drinkers who
compose the cham bers of commerce of
Minneapolis and st. Paul, to meet and
pass resolutions to Congress, express
ing their admiration for the diStin-
gushed body, especially their appreci-
at on of their wisdom and PATRIOTS m

This free silver dodge is another
blind on the people. l suspect that
Bryan and others are being used as
tools. How long do you suppose we
can stand up under this robbery of all
the net profits of distribution and
largely of production also?
Let US first untwist this railroad
twist. and the twist UNFINISHED will un-
twist other twists. Then will follow
single tax, referendum, and other good

A SERIOUS CHARGE MADE.
An Alien Legislating for the People.

An Alien Legislating for the People.
Editor Representative:
l wish to call your attention to the
fact that many people sit in the Leg
islature every year who are neither
citizens, nor have they declared their
intentions to become citizens. Mr.
Robert, Mcneil, member elect from
Douglas county, and one Knute Mel
SON. jackalS, is one that has no right
TO seat in the Legislature, for the
reason that at the time of his election
he was neither citizen nor had he
declared his intention to become a
citizen,as required by the constitution
of the state. 1t would therefore seem
only just and right if he were not per-
mitted to take the seat in the House
to which he is not entitled, and we
look to you as the friend to right and
jus tice to see to it that he does not
take the seat to which he is not en-
titled.
With the compliments of the sea-
son, l have the honor to be your
friend, ETC.. "A. A. Brown.
