The advocate., 1897-08-18

every name, all who desire to fight for
the masses against the classes, stand
I'D and be counted and then let the
majority say what name shall be on
our banners. Let us be men, not snarl-
ing, fighting monsters, not hidebound
partlsans.
Peoples Party Paper: No Drawer, no
more upright, no more patriotic people
exist upon the earth than the farmers
of the South, and in every so-called
mob Of lynchers" may be found griz-
zled veterans whose scars attest their
courage and who respond to the de-
spairing cry of outraged WOmanhoOd,
from as honest motives and with the
same alacrity that they responded to
the bugle call of an invaded country in
their youth.
American X Rays: We have no de-
sire to cover up the fact that we are
in favor of repudiating every dollar Of
the bonds issued under Cleveland's adj
minlstration. They were issued as
result Of a conspiracy upon the part
of those who prOfited by the issue; they
were issued without the consent Of the
people who are to pay them; they were
issued without warrant Of law or sane
ton Of sense. The issue was robbery,
pure and simple.
Detroit Journal: The utilitarian
spirit of the age has small reverence
for ancient and holy things in this
sturdily young and progressive cOun-
try. Superstition is a back number.
We put any and everything to the most
convenient use Of it possible. The
day may yet come when prize fighters
will be received with eclat in our
churches and when our preachers will
be invited to occupy front seats next
to the rOped arena.
Hartford COurant: One railroad in
Mexico, which was projected to earn
certain sum per mile, and on such
earnings to pay dividends, is earning
considerably more than the prospectus
suggested, and, if doing business with
the worlds money would be very
profitable But, as things are, with the
dollars worth less than so cents apiece,
it cannot pay the interest on it's bonds.
That's the sort of money some people
want this country to use.
Chicago Tribune: The people must
agitate They must keep on warning
their representatives in Congress that
the currency question must be attended
TO, and that it is unsafe to leave mat
ters as they are The problem to be
solved may be difficult and delicate" +"
but Congress will find a solution in
spite of the resistance of free silver
ties, who are determined to break down
the currency and rob creditors-if the
people demand that Congress find a
solution.
Tom Watson in Peoples Party
Paper: Populist sentiment was never
stronger than at present. The dissatis-
fed element were never more numer-
Gus, nor reader for organization
Republicans did not promise general
prosperity" more Justify in 1896 than
the Democrats promised it in 1892. We
got contraction of currency and a panic
from the Democrats; we will get higher
taxes and perhaps another panic from
the Republicans. Its regular see
saw between the two old parties. There
Is no hope or remedial legislation from
either
Montreal CAM Herald: 1t is to be
hoped the Liberal government will not
yield to the pressure to which it is
likely to be subjected on the part of
interested parties who desire to see an
import duty imposed on United
States lumber to offset the Dingley
duty upon the Canadian product. To
crafty perhaps not unnatural resent
ment against our neighbors for the
benefit of few large lumber mer-
chants at the expense of the entire
