They Don't Want Us.

The fusion Populists who met at
Sioux Falls few days ago called the
Democrats their friends, brothers and
their allies, but the Democrats will not
have 1t so and have plainly given these
servile tools who would like to be the
tail to the Democratic kite to under
stand that they have no possible use for
them and do not desire their advice or
assistance in this campaign; in fact,
they consider these fusion Populists
good-for-nothing nuisances, whose COM
pany they will no longer tolerate.
Leading Democratic papers are teeming
almost daily with the most severe roasts
for the Sioux Falls crowd for attempt
ing to dictate to them. The Cincinnati
Daily Enquirer of last Saturday has a
red hot two-column roast in for this
gang OF fusionists. Calls them imprac-
ticable, vicious and impairment cranks,
good-for-nothing loafers, crazy no
bodies, and says the Sioux Falls con-
vention was set on foot for the express
purpose of forestalling, forcing and
badgering the Democratic party of the
United States, and compelling the Dem
ocracy to accept and indorse the theories
of undetermined, crazy anarchists, and
SAYS the Democratic party was organ
lied for the express purpose of COM
batting the heresies and wild theories
such as is shown in the Sioux Falls
platform, and that it is high time to
repudiate with unmistakable emphasis
wv
silence the hideous dogmas of these
yawpers, malcontents, loafers, scala
ways and anarchists. The editorial
says that the platform adopted by the
Sioux Falls crowd is stencil to the
nostrils of any honest Democrat and
that these fusionists should stand up
and be counted by themselves and not
try to force their crazy theories on the
Democratic party. There are certainly
some honest men among the fusion Pop
ulists Of the West who are not in It
solely for what Office or Doodle they
can get. Can't they see that the Dem
ocrats are now done with the Populists
and determined to kick them out Of the
Bryan party? How do they like the
names the Enquirer and other leading
Democratic papers are giving them?
The Democratic party is now making
every possible effort to conciliate the
gold-bug monopolists of the East and
In order to do this they are turning
everything over to these monopolists,

Favored Direct Liquidation.
Miss Frances T. Willard, formerly
president Of the Worlds w. c. T.. u,
said: Il believe in direct legislation,
and think it is so greatly needed that
language cannot express the dire ne
cessity under which we find It; the
reign Of the people is one thing that my
soul desires to see; the reign Of the
politicians Is public imnominy. l also
believe that direct legislation is certain
to become the great political issue in the
future The people are being
by events. They are coming
to see there is no hope Of reform under
the existing system Of voting. It is
the duty Of every citizen to carefully |
study this great question"

might for time be tolerated as q solace
to timid souls), and superseding abso-

and must be resolutely striven for as
the ideal. Such system would be most
completely under the control OF the peo-
pie, and would render not only possible
but entirely practical the public control
Of the general movement OF prices. For
tunately. however, so benefcent q re-
form need not wait for great changes IN
our present financial system. The pres-
emit congress could, II 1t would, provide
both for the statistical commission and
for the immediate application Of some
form OF regulating machinery, as ex-
planned. Falling prices could be check
ed by the purchase in the open market
OF existing bonds at the inevitable
premium and paid for with tie proceeds
Of our present barbarous system OF
taxation.
What, now, in a word, are the adj
vantages to be derived by the public
from the change proposed?
First, we shall stop the oscillatory
movement OF prices, the dancing OF the
index-number, and thus remove from
business one chief element of specula-
ton and gambling.
Second, we shall absolutely stop the
downward trend of general prices with
all the mischief this entails, and make
impossible that vicious sweep upward
beyond the norm, which timid invest
ors fear is hidden in every proposal to
check the fall Of general prices.
Third, we shall make financial panics
preventable and unnecessary. When
banks suspend business and prepare to
abandon the public to the fury of
panic. the government will step in and
furnish the usual accommodation on
proper security.
Fouth, we shall make the national
administration absolutely responsible
for monetry stringencies and crises.
The administration or party, then, that
will permit financial cyclone to devast-
ate the land will dig it's political grave
wide and deep.
Fifth, we shall establish for the first |
time in our history +, If not in the his |
tory Of the modern world, an equitable |
standard of preferred payments, mon
ey of uniform purchasing power and an

MONEY PILING UP.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The mem

of relieving the present congestion
of money in the treasury. By June
30, the end of the fiscal year, there
will be a surplus of fully 10000, 900.
If the proportionate excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures continues
the end of the century will find the
vaults of the treasury bursting with
a money surplus amounting to $780,
100000. The removal of this large
amount from the regular channels of
commerce is viewed in some quarters
with alarm, and there is a feeling
that steps should be taken to relieve
the situation.
