MONEY PLANK.
Let It BE Brief, Explicit and to the Polne

Let It BE Brief, Explicit and to the PoIne
and True to Basic Principles.
The following declaration of none
tary principles is taken from the Chi
cago Equity. 1t tersely and clearly
enunciates populist views on the
money question"
Equity believes that the ultimate solution OF
the money question Is the adoption OF a scien-
tifc system Of paper money issued TO the peo-
pie through government banks Of loan and de-
posft But until this can be reached we stand
unfinchingly for the free coinage Of silver and
gold at the ratio Of sixteen to one without ask
ing the consent or approval Of any other nation
on earth
We stand for this because the gold supply Is
utterly inadequate for furnishing circulating
medium with which to transact the business of
the country and as long as we have metallic
basis. we ought TO have as that basis the com
bined production of both metals
All who subscribe to this declaration
OF principles are populists, while any
who refuse to advocate free silver as
compromise only are metallists and no
populist is metallist

It is most encouraging sign to see
such papers as the Chicago Record

more than this and shall fight for the

extend fraternal greeting to all who
indorse part of our principles. Kind
ness and candor will go a long distance
toward getting them to see other of
our reforms needed. If we live on
good terms with all who believe a part
of our principles it will place us in
closer relation and we can more easily
advance other principles for discussion
and education When people do their
thinking the battle Is more than hall

One fact that. sta

One fact that stands out promi-
nently in the coal strike is that the
owners and operators of the mines are
in competition with each other, and
as they shade" the price on coal to
the large consumers and traders they
also shade" the wages of the coal
miner. These operators in fighting
each other damage the only property
the coal miner has-it is his labor.
Labor men in Brockton are familiar
with the same state of affairs; it is
easy for the owner of a coal mine to
give away the bread coal miners need;
but has he the undeniable moral right
to do so?-Brockton (Mass.) Diamond
