1t seems to me very doubtful whether
it would increase the circulation any.
In fact, it might greatly decrease it,
and if so, cause great harm, directly
and Indirectly. Directly by causing
disaster and suffering to many imme
diately and indirectly by demoral;ziDg

and causing q serious reaction against

in value, the cheaper one drives out
the deaTer one, so that we would be
at one PIT upon a single silver basis
and ell gold would be sent out of the

danger; the money power not only in

would make war upon it and make it

On the money Question alone, then,
we find an awful chasm of difference
bet ween the old parties and the true
reformers. We find a chasm into
which is rapidly flowing the greater
bulk of the nations wealth; at the bot
tom of which a favored small class are,

themselves the vast surplus wealth
produced by the great multitude Of in

Now if | have truly stated the main
| differences between the avowe1 prin-
ciples Of the Peoples party and the old
ones-I challege contradiction-is it
wise for us to DIN either Of the old
parties in a fusion of principles, or in o
manner that seems to confuse our PEG
pie with the idea that our principles
in money ''are about similar to those
of the old parties7" We should re,
member that our success as a party
consists in the education Of the PEOPLE
to clear conceptions Of the new as be-
ing absolutely different from the old
parties. The POpulists hold that any
single idea-free silver, for example
is entirely inadt quate to accomplish
their purposes, while the old parties
both foist that one thing into promi
nence wi b vast proportions, mainly
for the purpose Of deceiVing the PEG
| pie, and, If possible, of befoggiug our
| other greater Issues and thus crush
them, we'll knowing that they are those
which will overthrow the present usur
Gus money system.
This is an old fertilization behind
which the old parties are intrenched,
from President to constable and there
are others yet.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Truth is an essence. IC Is as eternal
as the throne of God itself. God is
truth; il we are allowed to apply the
concrete 20 the abstract. What was
truth in past ages is truth now, and
will be forever more.
The cry has gone up: 1.-The Populist
party is dead" Now this may be true
as to its name, but the principles en-
bodied in the platform Of the Populist
party were founded On truth. The
essence, the truth of those principles
still lives and will live f0rever. The
scoRog bigotted Jews, when they cru
Gifted our Savior doubtless in their
envy and prejudice, supposed that
they had achieved great success in put
ting a stop to the spread of error and
socialistic tendencies; but all history
tells how much they were mistaken.
The truth and the principles Christ,
the IoWIy Naz2rene promulgated still
live.
As to fusion il was always a puzzle
to mo Jus5 how we could build up a
party by comoining With q party with
principles wholly sn5agonistic to ours,
could not see. The men who after
ward formed the Populiss party in
North Carolina controlled the Iegisla-
ture in q great measure bifore they
organized as a distinct political party
and I am stil OF the opinion that if we
had exacted written pledges Of our
candidates to support the Alliance de-
mands, we would have achieved more.
The mission Of the Alliance was propa-
gandism. Toe distinct organic alton
of the Peoples or Populist party was
premature. Ambitious persons desir
GUS of preferment and power, turned
aside the organization from it's true
aim and end, and after riding into
place and power turned the common
voter loose on the common sea to shift
! for himself. Now don't we find some
thing analogous to it in the Book of
Kings IL: 49, After Jereboam re
q VOTED and established mis- kingdom, he
set up golden calves and said: These
be thy Gods, o Israel" On one of the
great idolatrous feast days while Jere
beam stood by the altar in Bethel to do
sacrifice to the golden calf, there came
a man of God out of Judah by the word
of the Lord and cried out against the
altar. The altar was rent and the ashes
poured out. Jereboam was quite angry
and stretched forth his hand to lay
hold of the prophet, but his hand dried
up 30 that he could not take it in again.
At the request of the king the prophet
besought the Lord, and he was healed.
Then the king offered the man Of God

Hickory Press (R p): It is quite
clear that in order to maintain univer
sal white supremacy in the State, as
guaranteed by our Democratic friends,
they must either pass a law disfran-
chising a large majority Of the negroes,
or one declaring negroes ineligible to
office.
We are quite sure that the latter can
be done with a fair probability of its
passing the scrutiny Of our highest
courts.
But any acknowledgements act on an
educational basis, woulddeprive almost
az many whites Of the use of the ballot
as it woul3 negroes. unless perchauce

AGAIN VIEW THE MONEY SYSTEM
Toe Republicans and many mem
bers of the Democratic party contend
that real money should be limited to
gold, which must have two values.
1st, a market value" of about n
dollar per penpyweight, and also
Pad, an equal face or money value''
of about one dollar per pennyweight,
and that all other dollars, either silver
or paper, shall be redeemable in this
gold coin (basie) money in order to be
illegal tender" money.
Tie Populjs6s contend that it is not.
and should not be made, a matter OF
any consequences that money shall
have q material substance or market
value; bpt hat It's only value, as
money-be il gold, silver or paper
shall be that which attacae lei to the
government legal stamp on iss face
which constitutes il a legal tender
money.
The old parties contend that money
shall reach the people for Ioanable use,
only through private parties, or cor.
porate banking concerns. which are
allowed to exact interest or mcney
from the people who give ample
security" for the time they have the
money In use. They say that loaning
money is not a government function /;
that it never has been 90; that all his

ment furnishes no such example and it
is not safe to entaDgle, nor trust gov

as issuing money direct to the people,

would destroy the lawful business OF
