We do not think our modest refer
ence to patent medicine man. who is
evidently hired to travel about and
start canards about Mr.. James
G. Hopper. our candidate for the state
senate, really merited SO violent an
attack as appeared i'll last week 5
Mercury. We were said to be wildly
indignant" over the evil-mi nded per-
son in question.
Our cherished editorial was referred
to as Rot Well, there is nothing
like having your feathers laid occa-
siOnly. However, the Graphic said
not one word against national bank
ers nor has it ever said word about
them personally, and the effort to
make it appear SO by using names of
our fellow tOwnsmen will be fat
failure. 1t has not INDUCED in per-
sonalities in this campaign. The
Graphic has had plenty of material to
use in some cases, but has refrained
from using it on principle.
We now condemn, and have in the
past condemned the National Banking
system because we believe the issuing
and control of the money of a people
is peculiarly q function of govern
ment, and should not be delegated to
any private concern, no matter how
high the standard of the men who are
interested in it.
Mr.. Hopper condemned the present
national banking system in a speech
here October 9th by showing the in
justice and danger of it, not as the
Mercury would have you believe by
denouncing national bankers. He de-
nOunced no one. INDUCED in no per-
sonalities and no abuse. He is above
that sort of thing.
We consradicted the report circulat
ed by the psuedo medicine vender that
Mr.. Hopper was national banker,
because he asked US to do so, not car
ing to appear insincere in making
speeches against thing he was re-
receiving benefit from. We are told
that A braham Eincoln advocated ma
tioual banks for twenty years before
they were created. So he did. At
least be said in his speeches rs far
back as 1882 that he believed in "a
National Bank" AS the act estab-
fishing them was approved in June,
1864, and Lincoln died in April, 1865.
he did have long experience in the
working of the system. He might
have felt differently today. At least
a great many people do and while
they may be mistaken, they are sin
cere in their belief. without in any
way rejecting personally on those
who differ.

The unexpected war, now raging be-
tween the Beers and the British, is but
another fight 'twixt David and Goliath,
in which the former has fulfilled every
condition for success, so far as human
grit, skill, wisdom, love of truth and
liberty are concerned; and, therefore,
can with confidence expect help of God
in whom they trust, and who has de-
clared that the race is not always to the
swift nor the battle to the strong on
which the British have always put their
trust to bully into subjection every ma
ton that has arisen against them and
their arbitrary dominion.
But, whom the gods wish to destroy
they first make mad" is an old saying
that may now get its fullest verification
In the British going wild with madness
between their weeping and cursing, a
sign of their being wicked nation of

Besides, her record in India forms the

Populist gatherings and, II possible, Sc
cure the Endorsement of the scheme.
At the state executive committee
meeting held in Dallas on Saturday last
we are informed that the matter was
discussed, and as it was published that
that none but members were expected
to participate in the proceedings
did not presume to obtrude upon the
privacy of their deliberations. But the
ed, probably by some 'leaky' members
of the committee, and the matter is now
the topic of discussion in POpulist cir
cles. The proposition, as we hear it, is
novel, and borders almost on the ridicu
lous.\ AS it appears to us it is simply
the old St. Louis scheme of 1896, with
few added frills. Substantially, as it
comes to us, it is as follows:
First-The Populists in national con-
vention are to adopt as their national
platform the Omaha demands, with the
addition of the initiative and referen-
dunn, or direct legislation.
Second-The Populists are to nomi-
nate as their candidate for president
William ]. Bryan, and some man ac-
ceptable to all reformers as vice-presi-
dent-Judge Caldwell, of Arkansas
Judge Clark, of North Carolina, or some
other man of national standing and
reputation.
Third-Mr. Bryan and whoever is
chosen as his running mate, are then
and there to accept the nominations.
Fourth-The Populist. national con-
vention is to be held one month prev
ious to either the Democratic or Repub-
lican national conventions
The Democrats will also nominate
Mr.. Bryan, and he will accept their
nomination, too.

with upturned thankful eyes, chants of
a persistent, sweet prosperity, labor
conditions grow worse and the poor
go lean and poorer. It's a state Of
economic affairs to evoke thought and
throw a shadow of gravity across his
face who hopes for the peoples ad-
vancement. It likewise recalls some
old-time slavery eloquence. Forty years
ago the Southern owners of black chat
tel slaves taunted the North with the
holding of white wage slaves. In
lecture on (and in favor of) slavery de-
livered in fremont Temple, Boston,
January "a, 1856, Senator Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, said of the black
slave: "He is entitled by law to a
home, to ample food and clothing, and
exempted from excessive labor; and
when no longer capable of labor, in old
age and disease, he is a legal charge
upon his MASTER while of the white
slave he truly said: Under that sys-
tenn man has become less valuable and
less cared for than the domestic ami
mails; In short, capital has
become the master of labor, with all it's
benefits and without the natural bur-
dens of the relation" In the course Of
this same lecture he used the following
prophetic language: "The moment
wages descend to point barely suf-
acient to support the laborer and his
family, capital cannot afford to own
labor and it must cease. Slavery
ceased in England in obedience to this
law, and not from any regard to liberty
or humanity. The increase of popula-
tion in this country may produce the
same results, and American slavery,
like that of England, may find its
euthanasia in the general prostration
of all labor" In other words, chattel-
slavery finds it's easy death in wage
slavery. Does Toombs long-ago words
find no echo in these times?

The state committee Of the Peoples

and among other things suggested dates
for the holding of congressional con-
ventions for the spurpose of electing
delegates to the Rbpulist national con-

me that finding a market for $4,000, goo
bushels in the Orient would effect. q
marked Strengthening in wheat prices.
In the first place, that grain would ma
turally 60 from the Pacific coast states
first, and the entire system of handling
grain on the Pacific slope is different
from that used east of the Rocky Noun
tains. After the grain is cut and
threshed, as it has to be shipped twice
market, it has to be put throughs q
sweating process. 1t has to be shipped
in sacks, it not being practical to dump
it in bulk into the hull Of a vessel, as
we ship 1t across the Atlantic or on the
Great Lakes. This Pacific coast wheat
is practically all bought by three con-
Germs, two of them in LIVERPOOL; and
closely connected with the White Star
line of steamers, by which it is chiefly
hauled. On it's arrival in Liverpool
this wheat is sold-I will not say to the
highest bidder, for it is never high in
any event. In fact, this coast wheat
acts like wet blanket on the entire
wheat market. The last ship is leav-
ing our coast about the time the first is
reaching the European market, so you
see the California crop is practically all
afioat at once. Thus a European miller
can go and in a minute find out how
much California wheat there is. I
think it breaks the market twice as
much as that which goes via the At
lantic, for when it reaches European
ports it has to be sold. The boats cannot
be delayed, and, being in sacks, the
wheat cannot be put in elevators, but
must be carried to warehouse. It has
to go at in Europe for what the market
there will give for it. And I care not
how you figure it, what you sell abroad
fixes the price of wheat you sell at
home. You are competing with any
man of any people who is raising wheat,
I care not whether it be on the steppes
of Russia, the ryot fields of India or the
WuOot 6AOWOA0 VI tAC AL SOAIAAC I0QuU-
lie, most of them from Southern Italy.
You are competing with them on an
even whiff1etree. That your own coun-
try will consume all it produces no in
telligent man will maintain for half d
century, at least. The increase of the
productive area and better cultivation
will, in fact, increase the yield.
About 110 years ago, soon after the
revolutionary war, the removals of the
people from the farms of Great Britain
were so numerous that royal commfs-
sion was appointed to keep the people
on the land. It has become in a meas
ure permanent, for this was the origin
of the Royal Agricultural society of
Great Britain, which offers premiums
to this day for individual fields Of par
ticular crops. And right here, hope
you will excuse me for DEPRESSING from
the subject Of markets, for I want to
take a whack at the farmer. He ought
to do better himself. want to see him
do it, and II he does not do better 1t
