Should BE Thoroughly Discussed.

By G. A. Long, Sutton, W. Va: The
marshaling of the free silver forces
in the future, as in the past, will have
a great effect for or against success.
Therefore much study and forethought
is necessary before making any definite
plans.
The subject should be, as it is being,
discussed from various standpoints.
The first and great question seems to
be: Shall we Populists die with our
party name and go on with one glo-
rious leap in the new 60 Democracy,
or shall we preserve name and organi-
cation of the party that advocates the
best laws for the toiling, starving mil
lions?
Now, we are not one to favor dis
bandment of the Peoples party. We
believe that necessity was its mother,
and that necessity admonishes us to
continue it. What we need in this crit
ical hour of it's life is an able COM
mander, true, loyal, and Populistic
through and through. If our national
anu oIdIc cASCullNt dlc nOI
true to Populism we may die against
our will. We know by experience
that county, state and national COM
mittees can saddle upon the members
burdens unbearable, and that kills the
enthusiasm.
Let us maintain our organization,
and then support the same man for
president, if our national chairman de-
mand-after advice from the rank and
file of the party-firmness in the divi-
sion of the ticket and spOils, and the
new (?) Democracy give us justice; but
if the new (?) Democracy wish to hog"
us in, let us "cut loose" We more than
showed our loyalty to principles in the
past campaign. Let us meet them half
way or go it alone. Let our leaders
and conventions openly make square
proposition. If they accept, let us
unite; if they reject, let us have our
own nominees.

The bill which passed the House
February 25, to loan the rich national
hanks over twenty-three million dol
lars. at a tax of per cent per annum,
is a good thing-for the banks. They
would have to pay two hundred and
thirty thousand dollars interest on the
loan OF course they would reloan it,
and say they secured 6 per cent per
annum Ia very low estimate), what
would the profit be to the banks? All
this rate the twenty-three million
would bring them one million, three
hundred and eighty thousand dollars
in interest, leaving gross profit OF
81 15O, 900. And yet we are told by the
political leaders that you cannot leg
islate wealth into the pockets of the
peoplev'

and to so there again and present our
suppications for relief Is indeed hui
initiating to the land Of Washington,
Jefferson and Jackson, and the heroes
who made this a country. But II 1t
must be done in order to satisfy the
American people that they must take
care of themselves or suffer, let 1t be
done again.
The platform pledges the Republican
party to this. The senator from New
Hampshire has taken that platform in
earnest and has brought forward the
pending bill, but the President-elect,
by the selection Of these two cabinet
officers, has advertised to the world
that the provision was put there for
political purposes and nothing else. He
has advertised to the world that what
the New York Post says in regard to
it is true; that it was for political pur-
poses, to gain few votes in the cleo
ton. Those votes having been secured
and the victory won that is all that is
required. That victory, they claim, Is
victory for the single gold standard,
so far as the incoming administration
is concerned, and every step has borne
witness to the truth of what the New
York Post and the Sound Money
League of New York have constantly
proclaimed.
Let us have this object lesson again.
Let the country be Inundated. Let
them send their monometallic commits
sioners, as Mr.. Cleveland did in his
first administration. Let Edward At
kinson go as he went before to find out
on the other side why the people OF
the United States have no right to
manage their own domestic affairs. II
Manton Marble stands for what he did
few years ago, he is good agent.
Send them. Send the editors of the
New York Evening Post, pay them
your money, and they will find argu-
ments to make reports why this coun-
| try is dependent upon Europe for its
existence as a nation, why we have no
right to legislate here, but must apply
to the governments of Europe to eXer-
else our legitimate functions under the
constitution. This spectacle, | think,
will convince the American people that
the provision in the platform calling
| for an international conference was
merely to catch votes, and those whose
votes were caught by this trap will
be slow to be deceived again. Some
new dodge must be invented. / thought
this dodge, after it had been played for
twenty years, was understood, but it
appears not. 1t will not serve its pur-
pose again, and l want to say to them,
go on with it. Let the monometallic
representatives of the cabinet send
their agents abroad, let them spend
your money, and let their reports come
in again" You will see what those
reports will be. You will see that they
will carry out the verdict Of the Sound
Money League of New York, and not
the promise of the platform.
If it had been intended to stand by
Mr.. Wolcott, secretary of the treas
ury would have been appointed in har-
mony with his mission. If it had been
intended to negotiate fairly on this
great question, some other person
would have been selected for the post
of secretary of state. These two selec-
lions in my mind establish the fact
that the pledge in the platform was not
in good faith, but for the purpose of
deceiving the American people.

Mexico, being on the silver standard,
and having money enough for rapid
development and progress, is now talk
ing about declaring war with the
United States, and reconquering the
possessions taken away from her in the
days of "Zack Taylor" If things keep
on here as they are now going, it might
really be an advantage to Texas, Cali
fornia and Nevada, and the rest of the
Mexican territory, to lend hand
themselves in this scheme, and get back
under the old government.

A paper dollar with the simple prom,

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Snap Shots Taken at the Passing Pro-
cessiOn.

Snap Shots Taken at the Passing Pro-
cession.
If we are to judge from the wall that
comes up from the gilded saloons of
plutocracy, the stupendous crime of
Populism is its socialistic tendencies.
The fact seems to be overlooked that
government itself is socialism, and the
best institutions of the land are con-
Gucted on the socialistic plane.
There. is socialism and socialism.
The animal man is in part socialistic
creature and possesses at the same
time an individualism that incites him
to, great personal effort. In all that
pertains to the home ones individ-
ualism predominates. Few people live
IN boarding houses from choice. One
of the strongest desires of the human
family is to own a home.
q
To make home the one resting place
of our lives; to adorn and beautify 1t;
to plant flowers and shrubbery and
create shady bowers is the individual
ism in the human heart. But many
things there are that can be better
done collectively. The first step to-
wards socialism is government. In
Republic, everything that government
(the people, does is socialistic.
Our school system is the perfection
of socialism along that line. Our pub
lie road system is socialistic and the
postoffice system is living monument
of the beauties of socialism. The great
trouble is that few people who use the
word socialism do so without a full
understanding of it's meaning. Some
use it in connection with the word
snarchism, when as a matter of fact
they mean exactly the opposite of each
other. Anarchism means no govern
ment at all, and is the extreme of in
diyidualism, while socialism means
government by all and for all without
favoritism.
There are those who, in our opinion,
go to the extreme in socialism, as some
people go to the extreme in everything.
The socialism of the Peoples party is
not extreme, but 1t is rather in the di-
rection Of social democracy. The

principally of flour and biscuits and
that there is no possibility of the fur

with 200 men, attacked a Spanish col

and capturing 90 A small fight took
place in the Calab hills, where the

A battle of considerable Importance
has taken place near Guanajay. The

uez and Pedro Biaz in the fight The
Spaniards had S46 killed and 40 wound

On account OF the COQQlIlOn OIL the

to retreat to the forts of the town. The
rebels set fire to the brushwood sur

the town but rain spoiled the scheme.
This is the district toward which Gen

there is a strong force of Cubans
near, a pitched battle is not unlikely

table; that Americans have anything
on their tables from which crumbs
could fall is due to the relief fund of

Consul General Lee has drawn so far
about $4,000 of the total amount and
has distributed the money to the con-
suls in MantanZaS, Cienfuegus, Sagua,

These cOnsuls buy provisions and dis
tribute weekly rations to distressed

There are 400 Americans on the re-
lief funds.

more time without interference from

and abroad. War scares,' and 'belig-
