THAT OHIO PLANK.
And a Paragraph from q Colorado Paper
That just Hits the Mark.

And a Paragraph from q Colorado Paper
That just Hits the Mark.
On June 30 the Ohio democratic state
convention adopted this plank:
Congress alone has the power to
coin and issue money, and President
Jackson declared that this power could
not be delegated to corporations or in
dividuals. We therefore denounce the
issuance of notes intended to circulate
as money by national banks as in dero-
CATION of the constitution, and we de-
mand that all the paper which is made
legal tender for public and private
debts or which is receivable for duties
to the United States, shall be issued
by the government of the United
States, and shall be redeemable in coin.
About the same date, the Pueblo
Coll Reform Press had this to say:
Between the gold basis and the BIZ
metallic basis. there is only the differ
ence of width. BY using both
metals as money of ultimate redemp-
| ton we extend the volume a little
but cling to the heather idea of debt,
and the crime of redeeming one money
/ in another money-as Solon Chase
would say: Getting rich swapping
dollars"
This is the differe nee between silver
| democracy and populism.

DIRECT LEGISLATION.

Under the Present system the People Have
No Voice in Their Government
Government by the people" sounds
we'll.
Let us see how far we have drifted
from it in practice.
1. The 30, OOO, 900 people give up all
their power to a congress of two legis-
lative bodies, the largest numbering
$50 men.
=. These men under party rule di-
vide and a bare majority take all
power, concentrating it down to $50
men.
8. Under caucus rules these divide
again: all power is centered in about
81 men.
4. These % men determine absolutely
what rules shall govern all acts of
each member of the house, and all
privileges and powers of every com
mittee; also the privileges and actions
of the house itself.
5. The 90 men decide who shall be
speaker of the house and give to him
absolute power to appoint all the COM
mittees and thereby under the rules
control all legislation.
Thus by our practice of government
by representatives having gone to seed
we have absolutely and in fact central
lied all power over legislation into one
mans hands.
Now, l ask the voters of this great
country of ours, irrespective of all
party differences, do you really expect
fair and just govern ment to emanate
from such q system of centralized
power? Does not all history warn us
| Il
on the rights of the people? Have we
not got warning enough in the dis
> eliminating laws of the last 30 years;
in the swaying of our courts to favor
centralized wealth and as the inevi-
table result the increasing army of
homeless and helpless voters of all
parties and in all parts of this great
= land? You answer yes; and with the
= sad confession you honestly ask what
:, /, is the remedy? How can we, the great
u mass of voters and toilers, stop this
{ steady and rapid drift to ruin, forced
~ idleness and general poverty?
= The question is proper. The answer
= is suggested by a study of the steps We
:, have taken in centralizing our power
y Remedy: Let the people of all par
ties unite in demanding and by on
overwhelming votes force into law ant
. practice the privilege of calling an.
:. law enacted by our representative
back for direct vote of yes or no b.
the people. Also the power of draw
~ ing up any law, and by petition sui
mitting it to the popular vote. B
&c this means we can legally and easil
undo the present dangerous centralizs
L ton of power into which we hav
. drifted. 1 have faith in our people
'r they are thinking earnestly; they wi
soon adopt wholesome and just laws
ie The right to approve or veto any la,
must go back to them. Speed tn
10 day. Yours truly, E. r. RIDGELY, NJ.

Some True Words.

The New York People says tlbt nc
time should ''be wasted in trying to
preach socialism to well-to-do farmers,
as that would be throwing pearls &c
swine" The idea of the People seems
to be that no man can be socialist
unless he be propertyless and a worker
for wages. 1 am glad to be able to say
that human nature is not quite SO poor
thing as the People pictures it, and
that in Kansas, at least, there are
thousands of well-to-do farmers who
are socialists. 1t isn't necessary that
a man should be trampled in the mire
to see the evils of present conditions
and to aspire for something better.

point to make a trial if their theory is
practicable. As long as money mo-

will never reach firm ground enough

was rejected on account of physical
disability.
He was a charter member of one of
the first posts organized in Wisconsin,
and has given freely of his time and
money for the good of the order. 1t
was due to his influence mainly that
the soldiers home was built in San
