The Cresset has again undertaken to


The Cresset has again undertaken to
discuss finance. The editor is very
anxious to inform the public that the
Populists are very ignorant but he does
not show himself up in a favorable light.
Axline is bright enough when it comes
to employing labor at 371 cents a day,
but when it comes to writing long WINDY
articles on finance he proves himself a
fool. he starts out by telling us that
the silver dollar is redeemsble In gold.
We published, during the campaign
last year. letter from j.. e. Carlisle,
then secretary Of the treasury, to show
that statement to be false and we need
not give space to it again. IT we
thought our friend would profit by it
we would publish it for his especial ben
cit. The United States never did have
| and never will have gold to redeem all
her other forms of money and she meyer
will try it. The secretary OF the treas
ury could not be compelled to redeem
silver in gold. He can exchange one
for the other but it is entirely optional
with him. If the people would get over
the old fogy idea of intrinsic value in
money one great step toward financial
| refOrm-and the principal one-would
have been taken. But as long as we
have so many hired fools in editorial
chairs it will be slow work to educate
the voters.

THE PopulIst nominating convention
OF Barber county is now only about
three days hence and the usual number
of candidates will have their claims
urged by their friends. Individually
we may have our preferences, but
speaking for the INDEX, the choices of
the convention are our choices and we
have full confidence in the wisdom OF
the convention Nevertheless it will
do no harm to say that the utmost po-
litical sagacity should be exercised.
That there will be differences in
opinions as to expediency and party
policy is to be expected and it is only
fair that every mans opinion should be
respected. 1t will not do for any Pop
ulist to assail another who does not
agree with him, and charge that he is
seeking to wreck the party. This only
promotes dissension and sometimes
allenales the best workers the party
has. Our advice is to steer clear from
secret deals and treat every body re-
spectfully. This does not deny the right
of argument but it should be carried
on in quiet orderly and harmonious
manner. We hope and believe that
the convention will be earnest and har-
moniOus in all that 1T does, and that
candidates whom they choose will be
such men whom all can support.

REPUBLICANS seem to think
they score a great point when
they say that Populists favor
fiat money. The fact is that
all Populists believe that
there is nothing like intrinsic

stantiate what they say. Any
republican or anybody else

the owners of this plant, when we are,
at times, almost unable to meet the in

think it IS carrying the thing little too
far. We have trouble as it is In getting
what Is due us without an outsiders

more money than we can handle, and it

the dose under protest. The INDEX
